"Well, Ms. Dwyer, looks like you finally got your new start. Your new name will be Isabella Swan and we have taken the liberty of changing all your files for you. I can assure you that Mr. Black will never be able to find you again. And be careful with whoever you decided to let in your life."

I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and suffered the consequences.

Oh,New York! It had been three months since I restarted my life and things had been going splendidly. I enjoyed my job; it wasn't the most exciting thing being a freshman English teacher, but I loved the student and the thrill they got when they understood something. I had made a few friends which is good for me because I am usually not the people person. I had a pretty nice apartment for a decent price; a hard thing to find in New York. All in all, life was pretty nice. "Oof!"
And with that one fall, my life forever changed…
