A/N: This takes place after New Moon, and before Eclipse.
I don't know why I decided to come to Washington state, of all places. It was almost like I was asking for my life to be drastically changed. Of course, being a geologist and all, I was aware of the general proximity of the Cascade Mountains and the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire". But surprisingly enough, that's not where my life took a turn for the better. I didn't do anything exciting or noteworthy except narrowly escape my death. My name is Elizabeth Petersen. Welcome to my world.
