1. I'm Called Shadow

It was dark tonight, and I must admit it was pretty spooky in this mansion. I crept through the dark hallways that had many expensive paintings that were placed on every wall. I was in the Walton's mansion, a very rich family. The fathers of the family had won many lotteries for years, and let's just say that they were cheating. However, that wasn't my job to bring them to court. I'm just a thief who wants to steal an artifact.

That's right, I'm a damn thief. The name's Lexus Annie Masen, I am 17 years old, and I was born from Chicago. I have a silky golden brown hair that's cut short in layers, it's spiked a bit, and it's thick, in a cool way. I also have deep green eyes, a recessive trait that I'm lucky to have. And I was pale but not too pale.

Okay, my life story goes like this. I am practically a normal girl, well, kind of. I was a prodigy and so I skipped a lot of grades that got me to graduate College by the time I was 16. My parents were normal rich doctors and they were proud of my success, then there was our other business. And in this business, we are to steal and sell it to other collectors from around the world. Yes, we work from a black market.

Ever since I was 13, I started stealing because I had this special gift. I can know things out of nowhere, and just know them because there are people around me. I can also know what people are thinking but not that accurately, just enough to get to the point. Right now I am alone, but if I somehow sense...somehow know that some one was getting suspicious, I know some one was awake and then I hide.

My parents and I played this game over and over again. I always win since I know where they always are before they could steal. Eventually, I was the best thief in the whole Black Market. My codename was Shadow. I know it's pretty used-up but it was never used in the Black Market since barely anyone deserved the name Shadow. But all the other agents think that I deserve the name Shadow.

"Dear, are you in position?" That would be my mom, speaking through a communication-link from an ear piece.

I replied in a small whisper, "Yeah… I'm almost there to the vault" then I hurried, quick on my feet but silent as the gentle wind. I quickened my pace when I finally reached a dark room with no door. I casually over to the small vault then got out a device from my utility belt.

It's a called a snuffer; it's a device that detects drugs, sulfur, and even gun powder. I used it on the vault just by pressing a button. It snuffed out that there was gunpowder, meaning there was a bomb in it. Bad…very bad…

"Hey mom," I called out silently. "The snuffer detected a bomb, how do I make sure that it doesn't trigger when I do open the vault?"

"Is the artifact in the vault?" this time it was my dad. I took out my ray glasses and had it scanned the vault. I replied, "Yes, there's the artifact but what if it's not the real thing?"

"How heavy is the vault?" Did my father just expect me to carry it?

"Umm…not much," I said as I carefully lifted it, but it was a bit heavy. "No, actually it's heavy"

"Do you hear any ticking?" he asked me and that I have not checked.

I leaned in closer to the vault and put my ear on it. There it was… ticking…and then double beeping…

Depicting on my silence, my dad caught on. "Lex, get out of there now!"

I quickly pulled myself away and then ran into the window, breaking it before the explosion came…


I was in my room now, getting dress in my PJs, and I know that it's frickin' 4 A.M. in the morning.

The stealing of whatever artifact it was from the vault didn't go as planned. It turns out that the Walton's' had moved from another area, no wonder I couldn't sense anything. That's one of my flaws… I can't tell whether they were awake or not there at all.

Dang that was humiliating.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Go away, dad!" I shouted as I climbed unto my bed and pulled the covers over me.

"Lex, we need to talk!" he said. "It's not really that humiliating to make a mistake!"

"Shut up, dad!" I shouted once more.

"I mean, so what if the BC group knows all about it?" Oh my god. The Black Criminals... We were one of them. The BC group is actually a group of thieves who worked for the Black Market, and let's say we're pretty good at it. However...if they know about my mistake... it's like the whole world knows what I just did.

"THEY KNOW?!" I screamed.

It was silent for a while before he answered hesitantly. "Well…yes…"

I screamed really loud, but I covered it with a pillow.

Then I could hear my mom coming up to my dad, and they were whispering. Of course, when you talk the words become your thoughts. Mom was telling my dad to just leave me alone, and of course they argued for a while, mentioning something about Forks Washington…

…What?

I got out of my bed and ran to the door and opened it; they both jumped at my sudden reaction. "Honey, you are too quick on your feet," my mom said but I ignored that and asked, "What about Forks?"

I remembered Forks, we moved there when I was 6 years old and after 3 years, we all moved to somewhere else. I know I said that I was born in Chicago but that didn't mean that we're living in Chicago. Right now, we're in California, the sunny place, but what's this about Forks, the rainy place?

"Oh dear…well, it's your next assignment," she said and continued. "And we thought it'd be okay if you go to school there?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Excuse me? I already graduated from College, why do I need to repeat high school?"

"As a cover-up, Lex," my dad said. "You see, there's this family called the Cullen's and they have something very valuable"

I waited for him to continue. "…And?"

"It seems that one of the Cullen's ladies has the most outshining necklace," my mom cuts in. "And she always wear it all the time, and I believe you know who she is"

I know a Cullen? I never even heard of the name Cullen yet. "No…who?"

"Do you remember Chief Swan?" she asked me. Chief Swan, Charlie Swan?

"Chief Swan Lake?" I remembered giving him a nickname of that, and it wasn't my fault; I was still a child. "Yeah, I remember him"

"Do you remember his daughter?" Yes, it's all coming back to me.

"Yeah, Bella Swan," I said. "The Ballet Duckling" I called her that because…well let's face it, she can't dance. However she and I were close friends, I tease her on being a duckling while she tease me of being a lousy cook…which I am. One time, I was cooking and I mixed eggs with cheese; Bella scolded me with that even though every food was just plastic play things!

"See, I'll show you a photo," My mom said as she took out pictures; it looks like it was some wedding. I gaped when I saw 7 beautiful people with two average looking people. I'm going to say that the Cullens' are the beautiful people and those two average people was a grown up Bella in a bride's dress, and the old Chief Swan Lake. Wow. Bella picked the right hot guy….

"So let me get this straight," I said. "Bella is the one wearing this really valuable necklace, right? And you want me, her childhood friend, to steal it from her?"

"Do whatever you could to get it," my dad said. "You'll be going to Forks tomorrow"

"I'm living alone?" I asked and they both nodded. I smiled. "Sweet"

"Well, go to sleep, hun," my mom said as she hugged me and kissed me on the forehead. "You'll need an early start at 10 A.M. okay?"

"Okay mom," I said and I kissed her cheek, and gave my dad a huge before closing the door on them.

I went over to my bed, and plopped down. I started thinking… am I that heartless to steal from my childhood friend? Well, we'll just have to wait and see…

And Bella's husband… He looked so familiar…
