Forks High School

Those three words changed my life, my immortal life.

Yep, that's right I Isabella Elizabeth Swan am an immortal, blood sucking vampire.

I was changed around 20 years ago at the age of 16. Because I lived in California I had to move. My father Charlie was also bitten so together we moved away from the sunny area of California, to a secluded area in Anchorage, Alaska. Buying a house, moving in, hunting, expanding our knowledge, and controlling the over powering need for blood, were our main focuses for the first two years of my coven's immortal life.

Charlie and I were repulsed by our thirst for blood, human blood, so we were determined to change our diet to something more… natural. We survived for 2 weeks without hunting but one day Charlie snapped. He was so driven by his thirst that he bolted into the forest, so fast that I didn't have time to react, and killed the first thing he could find, a bear. Worried I chased after my father only to find him calmed and sitting next to a drained bear. Charlie explained to me that we could survive off animal so we didn't have to be monsters and hurt innocent humans. Making sure that Charlie and I didn't kill off any species we only hunted in areas with overpopulated species of animals, sometimes we would venture into Oslo, Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Denali.

Charlie went exploring after one of our hunts and somehow wound up in Denali. As soon as he crossed into Denali he was hit with the scent of another coven of vampires. Running, Charlie followed the scent and ended up in front of a large 1930's looking house. My father learnt that this coven of vampires, called the Denali clan were like us, not because they were vampires but because there were 'vegetarians'. Charlie was told the rules and regulations of vampires and left but promised to stay in contact.

Because we stayed out of the public's eye we were able to stay for 20 years but people started building houses and claiming land closer to us so we knew that if someone recognized that we didn't age we would be found out, so we had to move.

Within a week Charlie and I were packed and ready to move to our new home, Forks, Washington. Our new 'home' was part of the rainiest city in the continent of the United States, which means less sun and the less amount of sun; the better it is for a vampire. We chose to travel by car because it was safer for us and the people who might've been on our plane. The thing about us 'vegetarian' vampires is that we can resist human blood but it becomes harder the closer we are.

As we arrived at our new home in Forks, Charlie and I helped to unpack the mover's truck. Charlie and I had to be careful to act like our furniture and boxes were heavy as to not arouse suspicion. After the moving men left, Charlie and I scoped out our new home before unpacking everything, at vampire speed. Darting from boxes to shelves, boxes to cupboards, boxes to draws and back we were done in about 15 minutes.

Charlie placed his arm around my shoulder and we both looked at our 'work', "Wow. Vampire powers sure do come in handy sometimes".

I winced at the word vampire; I try not to speak that word aloud as it brings thoughts to my mind, most of them consisting of the word monster.

Looking at my father's proud expression I asked, "Time to hunt and explore the area?"

Smiling, Charlie removed his arm from my shoulder and grinned. "You bet. Race you to the nearest river!"

As Charlie took off in a head-start, I shook my head at his childish antics, "Men!"

Pushing myself forward, I took off into a dead sprint. Feeling the nearby trees whip at my body I giggled, this would only feel like feathers caressing your skin to a vampire. Breathing in an unnecessary breath I tasted the air to find the nearest river.

Stopping dead in my tracks I called "Charlie, come quick!" I didn't have to yell because I knew that his ultra - enhanced vampire hearing would enable him to hear me.

As I predicted Charlie appeared at my side in a matter of minutes. "What wrong Bells?"I could hear the worry in his voice.

"Haven't you tasted the air yet?" I looked at him in shock and horror.

Shaking his head, he gushed in a large breath. As if he was hit by a boulder, Charlie's eye bulged out.

"Shit, there are other's here aren't there?" Charlie only cursed when things were serious.
