Newer story…just so you know I am making the chapters shorter because I am not sure whether the story I am writing is any good yet-and if it is, it keeps readers asking for more. So anyway, please be kind when you review this. Suggestions and references welcome! 

So now…

Twilight: The New Life

Chapter 1: Stupid RV

"Dad, are you sure you don't want me to drive?" Alie asked. Being in an oversized RV with her exhausted father driving, the winding roads through the trees made her uneasy and restless. They now made their way to Forks, Washington to make camp for the night on their way back home from Seattle.

"No, no. im fine. We have about 15 miles to go. I can last." He answered with visible difficulty.

Alie walked back to the couch, sat down and watched the trees flash by.

Such a moist climate would have moss on trees. She thought.

She missed home. She absolutely hated heat, but she loved her bed, pillow, and blankets. She was happy not having to worry about being in a car accident all the time. She missed her home and the people who were there. Here, her "home" could explode any minute, being a rental, or it could break down.

And she was alone. She had a sister, no doubt. But Rani had a world of her own and only came out of it when her father addressed her. Other than that, she was quiet and somewhat ignorant of Alie.

Her focus was suddenly shifted from her thoughts to the window. The trees disappeared. Reappeared. Disappeared again and again. The trees were no longer solid outside. They were surrounded with ditches at sudden drops from the highway. This made Alie even more uneasy. She thought of offering to drive again but that would only annoy her father.

Blurs of signs flashed by. "7 ½ miles to Forks". Then a café, a gas station, and finally the RV Park.

"6 ½ miles to go…5 ½…"

The RV swayed from strong breezes coming through the gaps between groups of trees. Alie got this sudden urge to put her seat belt on. This was strange to her. Very strange. She would never normally buckle her seat belt in an RV. A painful tingle in her stomach and she knew something was wrong. Very wrong.

There was a thud on the roof that sounded like a baseball dropped on a hardwood floor. It startled everyone and tipped the RV to the right a bit.

"What the-", her father began but was interrupted by another collision on the left side of the RV. This was much stronger. Alie glanced to the window she was watching earlier. No trees? There was a ditch.

The RV tipped to the right side. Alie tightened her seat belt and lay along the couch to make holding on tight and easier survival method. It will be over soon. It has to be. Is this even happening? It can't be. This cant be happening. Reality hit her. Adrenaline ran through her veins and she clutched for life. It will stop soon. It will be over and done soon. But it wasn't. They kept rolling. The stupid RV was gaining momentum and rolling faster down into a deeper ditch. These ditches were a lot deeper than Alie had thought.

Lights inside, breaking, gave her a glimpse of vision in the dark night. Trees slammed into the RV walls. The windows broke and shattered. All she could do was stare out the window. The ground flew at the wall, dirt, a quick glace at the highway from which they were tumbling, then the tumble would start all over again. The next rotation brought Alie intelligence that she really would have rather been a surprise. Even a quick sight, she saw this in slow motion. They approached a clearing in the trees. On the other side, all aligned, were much thicker, stronger trees. The trees that had hit and beat up the old rental earlier were thinner. Weaker. Flimsier. These trees were so different. Alie knew these trees would stop the RV's roll, and most likely total it. But her concern was…"would it total us?"
