When I was fifteen, my Mother took me to Italy. She told me that we needed to spend more time together. When I was three, she had taken me from my Father and moved us across America. My Mother had never been very reliable, and so I had never put much trust in her. Living with Charlie had been rough. He and Renée would fight all the time. Forever shouting and screaming, until the day she had left. Mom had taken me with her and we had moved to Arizona. I had lived there until I was seven, but like I said before she was never very reliable. Mom would go out every night, leaving me home alone. And so one day I faced up to the fact that I had to leave. She pretended to be sad, that she would miss me, but it was pretty obvious that she wouldn't. Renée had always put partying and drinking before her child. She just married to young I guess.

Whilst I had lived with Charlie, life had been pretty different. We had spent weekends together, going hiking and fishing. But Dad was Chief Swan, and had a busy job. I was side lined. Again.

So when Mom turned up telling me that she had changed, and that we needed to spend more time together, I honestly believed her. I wanted nothing more than to have the Mother I never got, so I left Forks to go to Italy with her. It took only two days for me to realise that she wouldn't keep her promise. Month one was amazing. I thought that we were going to live together, that we could build a new life. We went shopping, had lunch and watched a movie. She listened when I spoke about my life, telling her about rainy Forks, my friends and my experiences. She laughed in the right places, and I looked forward to a new life. But that was when it all changed.

One day during the second month, I had gone to bed early, the day before having worn me out. I'd said night to my mum and gone to sleep dreaming of a happy life. I woke up at three in the morning, and looked for Renee, but she wasn't in her room or anywhere in the apartment. I called her mobile, and she picked up at the last moment. All I could hear was loud music and shouting.

"MUM!" I shouted down the phone. "MUM!"

"Bella? Hey! Why are you awake?" Renee replied.

"Why aren't you asleep?" I said.

"Ahh. I'm sorry Bella."

"YOU LIED!" I screamed down the phone. "YOU LIED. I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME. WE WERE GOING TO START AGAIN. LIVE TOGETHER." I was crying now.

"I'm sorry Bella. Go back to bed, when you wake up we'll go shopping together."

"I HATE YOU!" I cried. "I HATE SHOPPING. I HATE THIS. I TRUSTED YOU!"

"Bella, I'm sorry. I promise we can start again." Her words were slurring now.

"Your drunk. Just like last time. You can come home, but I wont be there. Goodbye Mum."

"Bella, come on, please. I just got you back-" Renee started but I'd hung up.

I ran back to my room immediately, pulling on jeans and a top, I started packing my suitcase. I would leave for Forks, go back and live with Charlie again. I shoved all the clothes I had bought with my money in my bags; I would not take anything she had bought me. No more memories.

You could guarantee that Mum was still at the club. Flirting with any guy who paid her a second look and drinking herself into oblivion. And so I sat down and ate some breakfast. Whilst rummaging through the cupboard for some rice cakes, I found Renee's secret stash of alcohol. So this had been going on for a while. Why had I ever trusted her again. When I was little, she used to leave me home alone whilst she went out partying and drinking. I was only four the first time she did it. It was quite similar to now. She had put me to sleep and left only minutes later. When I had awoken a few hours later from a nightmare, I had screamed any screamed for my Mummy, but my Mummy never came. Instead Mrs Green had come over from next door. She had comforted me back to sleep, when morning came, Renee had saved herself by saying that she had just gone round the corner shop for some milk, but Mrs Green had never trusted her again.

I took her bottle of Vodka from the stash and poured the entire bottle down the sink. Then I decided to teach her a lesson, so I refilled the whole bottle with water. Renee needed to change. But I knew she never would.

So here I was, standing in the small town of Volterra waiting for Charlie to call me back. Standing on a hill was the beautiful Castle Volturi, owned by a rich family (or so we'd been told). Then my phone rang and I saw from the caller ID that it was Charlie.

"Dad?"

"Hey Bells, its Billy." The voice answered, Billy is my Dads best friend.

"Hi Billy, where's my Dad?"

"I'm sorry Bella. There's no easy way to say this…" Billy said sadly.

"What? What is it?"

"Bella, I'm sorry but your Dad died of a heart attack a few weeks after you left."

"No… no your lying." I said. I wouldn't admit it. It hadn't happened.

"Bella. Why would I lie about this? His funeral is in a few days. I'm sure he will want you to attend. Please Bella?"

"I… I'll catch a plane and be there as soon as I can. Bye Billy." I felt no emotion. I'd just disowned my Mother and found that my Father had died. I was past emotion. Hours later I was on a plane heading back to Forks.

The ceremony was sad. Everyone cried and most of the town had turned up. Charlie had been the chief, and everyone had known him. I had been asked to speak, but always being so shy, I couldn't bring myself to stand at the podium and say something. After the ceremony, lots of people came up and said their condolences. Saying that they were sorry for my loss. I had thanked them meekly and walked on. I decided to go for a walk as I needed time to think.

Before I knew it, the skies were darkening, and I decided to head home. But where was home now? Mum had abandoned me, and Dad was dead. I would be 16 in a few month, but that still wasn't old enough to live alone. I was walking back alone the main road when I saw a flash of white behind me. I stopped and turned around. There was nothing there. I kept walking, more cautiously this time. Again I saw the flash if white and then right in front of me… a pair of glowing red eyes.

"Hmmm, you smell…" The man took a deep breath. "Delicious." I started to back away but the pale skinned man just laughed a deep velvety laugh, and then he grabbed my shoulders tightly and bit down on my neck.
