Chapter: 1
It was another gloomy day in Forks, Washington. Grey clouds hovered above, threatening to unleash a torrent of rain at any moment. Most people would frown at the aspect of having no sunshine, but for the Cullen family, no sunshine meant nobody finding out their secret.

Hearing the thump of her heart almost sent him on a bloodthirsty frenzy. Having never experienced anything like this before, Edward ran out the front entrance of the school, trying to calm himself.
'Who was that girl?,' was all he could think about, as the first bell sounded off signaling first period was beginning...
