A/N: This is the beginning of my new story. I'm still not sure if I'm going to go through with it, but I thought that I should give you guys a little bit of a better idea of what it's going to be like before you decide for sure whether or not you want me to continue. I haven't gotten all the details worked out yet, but I know where I'm going to start.

ROSEMARIE

My dearest daughter,

There's much that I have to tell you, but not a little of time to say it all. I know this is going to be hard for you to understand, but I won't be around much longer. In fact, I'm pretty sure as you're reading this; I'm either dead or dieing. Unfortunately, for your safety, I can't explain the reasons for my sudden death. All I can say is that my lies finally caught up to me.

I've lied so much in the last sixteen years that it was bound to catch up to me some day and I suppose, on some level, that I deserve what I have to endure now. I've hurt so many people with those lies. People who I loved dearly. People like you, Rose. I think I've hurt you more than anyone else with my lies. For that, I'm so sorry. I know those words will never make up for these things, but it's the best I can give you for now.

Anyway, I need to get on with it, I'm sure they'll be coming for me soon.

As I said, I lied to you about pretty much everything in your life. I told you that your father abandoned me when I was pregnant with you, but that wasn't true. Your father is a great man. He's brave and kind. He was, once, my best friend and soul mate, but that was a long time ago. Long before, your conception.

I can't tell you too much about what happened during those couple of years. Once again, for your safety, and the safety of others that I love very much. All I can really tell you is, even though I will never regret keeping you, your conception was a mistake.

I know how much the truth of that hurts and I'm sorry. I just hope you remember that you weren't the mistake. I never regretted anything involving you. I made a huge mistake when I slept with your father, though. One, which I've never forgiven myself for.

This is why I left him and my home in Forks sixteen years ago, because I couldn't face what I had done. I couldn't hurt your father anymore than I already had, because even your conception wouldn't have changed anything between us. My heart always belonged to another man, no matter how badly I sometimes wished it could've belonged to your father.

Unfortunately, because of my tangled web of lies, this is all I can tell you about what happened to me while I lived in Forks. I don't want to endanger your life by telling more.

Now, that the hard parts out of the way, there's some things that you need to know, in order for you to move on with your life.

First, I've put it in my will that, upon my death, you will become an emancipated minor. Don't freak out, because I have arranged for you to be taken care of. I can't name names or tell you why, but an old friend has agreed to put four thousand dollars a month into an account with your name on it. Don't worry it's legal.

Finally, I know that this bit of information is probably going to make you curious about your father and that's understandable. That's why I'm giving you one final gift. There are two pane tickets enclosed in this envelope. One for you and one for Erick. He's the only one I trust enough to go with you and protect you.

They are both one-way to Forks, Washington. You'll find that Grandpa Charlie's house is still there and empty. I didn't have the heart to rent it out or sell it. It belongs to you now, as does everything inside. Use it to your advantage.

There's an Indian Reservation, La Push, a few miles from there. When you're ready, go there and seek out Jacob Black. He'll have the answers that you're looking for.

I must warn you, though, Rose. Though my time in Forks was short, I left a tangled web of lies, love, pain, and even a little magic. It would be wrong of me not to ask you to find the truth behind my lies, but you must know, that you might not like what you find.

Once again, I'm so sorry for the pain my lies have caused you. I'm sorry that you have to suffer for those lies. I can only hope that sending you to Forks will help you understand why I had to lie. Maybe one day, you can forgive me for them.

I love you with all of my heart and soul and hope you find the answers that you seek.

Love you always,

Mom

I sighed and folded up the piece of paper that held my mother's final goodbyes. It was two weeks after the fire that took her life and, taking her gift to heart, I was now on a plane to Forks with my best friend, Erick Anderson.

I reread the letter over a million times since my mom's lawyer gave it, along with the plane tickets, to me at the reading of her will a few days after the funeral. You'd think, with as many times as I've read it, I would've been able to make at least a little sense of it. Or the words wouldn't shock me every time I read it. But that wasn't the case. In fact, with every reading it just got more and more confusing and angering.

I couldn't believe that she had lied to me all these years. For my entire life, I believed that my father walked out on us, because he didn't want me, but it was really Mom that walked away from him because she was ashamed for having sex with him.

I didn't understand why she felt the need to lie to me about that part. Did she think that I couldn't handle it? She mentioned danger several times. But what danger could come with me learning about where came from?

Then there was the whole thing about knowing she was going to die. What was up with that? And who was this they she mentioned who were coming for her? What her lies to me even have to do with them?

Sadly, those questions didn't even crack the surface of the mysteries that her death and the resulting letter opened up. I knew the only way to get my answers and solve these mysteries was to go back to Forks, where it apparently all started…

A/N: I hope this gives you a better idea of things. I know it isn't much, but I didn't want to get too much into the story yet. I want to know what you guys think of this beginning before I continue. I know it's really confusing and I apologize for that, but you will get all your answers as Rosemarie gets hers. Anyway, review and let me know what you think. Are you intrigued? Or should I scrap the idea?
