"Bella, Do you know how late it is?" I heard Charlie from the couch. I hated it when he stayed up and waited for me to get in.

"Sorry Dad, I was with Mike." Mike was my boyfriend. He hadn't made it official yet, but I knew that he wanted to. Luckily, Charlie didn't know about Mike and me dating. "I am going to go to bed."

"Okay Bella. Sleep well." Charlie was absolutely clueless. I had been hanging out with Mike every night this week. How could he not be wondering what was going on? I could be 8 months pregnant and he wouldn't notice unless I went into labor in the living room. Wait, scratch that. He still wouldn't know. He was so unobservant it was funny.

So here's the story. My name is Isabella Marie Swan. I am 17 and I live with my father. My parent's divorced when I was young and my mom died about 2 years ago of breast cancer. I now lived with my dad in the rainiest and shadiest place known to man. Yes, you guessed it, Forks, Washington. Everything here is green. There was so much moss you couldn't tell where the grass ended and the trees started. I used to find it frightening, but now I find it welcoming. I was going to Forks High School and was dating the dorkiest and most adorable guy there, Mike Newton. He was nice, but sometimes I wondered if we even had that much in common.

I didn't want to think about it. I couldn't hurt him. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did. I didn't like him as much as he liked me. I felt like there was something missing. I just wanted to sleep. I changed into a pair of sweats and my "Save the Ta Ta's" T shirt. I laid down under my deep blue down comforter and drifted away silently to sleep.

In my dream there was this beautiful bronze haired boy. He looked like he was my age. He was gorgeous, tall, and mysterious. He was calling to me in a voice like velvet. "Bella," he called to me. "Bella, where are you?" He was worried. I just couldn't find out why. I tried to call to him and ask who he was when I realized there was something on my mouth. What the hell was on my mouth? I went to reach for it when I realized that my hands were tied down. What the hell was happening to me and where the hell was I? I moved my head and looked to the right and saw that Mike was tied up beside me and his throat was gushing blood. His lips were blue and his blue eyes were staring at me in shock.

I wrenched out of bed clutching the sheets and screaming. I tried to smother the screams with my pillow. Still my father barged into the room holding a plunger to protect himself. Charlie was such a dork. Even though he looked hilarious holding the plunger like a shotgun in front of him, I still couldn't laugh. I had tears pouring down my face like a fountain. My dad decided to speak once the screaming stopped and my tears were falling silently down my face. "Bella, Bella what is wrong?"

Charlie was never good with tears. He hadn't heard me scream like this since a year ago when my mom's death had started to affect me. I had nightmares for weeks and they all ended in me screaming. His face held the worry of the past in them. "I just had a nightmare Ch-Dad. It is nothing for you to concern yourself with." My voice cracked while I was trying to get him to leave.

"A nightmare," Charlie asked. His voice matched his face, filled with worry. "Bella, sweetheart, what did you dream about?"

"It was nothing dad. I just had a dream that I was falling off a cliff. It was so realistic that it took me a while to snap out of it." I was a terrible liar. My dad was just recently getting dumb enough to believe me.

"Oh, Okay." Charlie got up and walked to the door. Before he left he turned towards me and said a quick "Sleep tight." Sure I was going to sleep tight. How about not, I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle this place for long. I waited until I could hear Charlie's low snoring when I left the house and went to walk in the woods with my flashlight.

It was a clear night out. The sky was filled with stars and the moon brightly shone over the canopy of trees above my head. The moon shone bright enough that it filled the mostly dark night with enough light so I didn't have to use a flashlight. I was enjoying the peaceful sea of green around me when I started to hear the slightest shuffle of leaves behind me. I was about to turn around to see what it was when a bunny jumped out from behind me. A small girlish screech left my mouth and then I laughed at myself.

The woods were starting to get brighter like the sun might be shining soon. I wondered idly how long I had been walking. I looked at my watch. 6:30 A.M! What time did I leave? Almost 4:00A.M. I gasped. I had been walking for two and a half hours! How far had I gone? I rushed back home, glad to find that I had been walking in big circles. I hoped that Charlie wouldn't realize I was gone yet. When I got home I saw black Mercedes sitting in front of our house. Who could that possibly be? I walked inside to find that my dad was awake and talking to this gorgeous man in a white doctors' coat.

"Dad who is this," I had just realized how dry my throat was and that I sounded absolutely horrible. I walked into the kitchen to get drink. I grabbed a cup and poured some water from the pitcher into my glass. I had chugged three glasses of water when I heard someone come up behind me. I turned around to see the guy from my dreams standing in front of me. I dropped the glass and everything went black before I could hear the glass shatter against the floor.


So this was really short.

I will write longer ones as I go.

This is my first Fanfic.

R&R Please.
