So this is another story in the works...I hope that you like it and all Twilight characters belong to Stephenie Meyer...all except my own :)
I hope you enjoy.
Blurs of trees was the only thing I could see. I was running for my life and the reason why was that so I could save someone I love. I couldn't believe that one little change in my life would affect the rest so much, but it doesn't matter now. What matters is that I am doing something that I believe is right. I would rather risk my life that the one I care for keep risking his. So I do this for him and yes I'm scared, but doesn't love conquer all fears? Lord, I hope I have enough strength.

6 months earlier:
"Mom, did you see where I put Angel's leash at?"
My mother, who was taping the last of the boxes, looked at me with some annoyance. "I'm sure it's right where you left it Molly. On the floor in your room, just look again ok."
I felt slightly bad for asking my mom, but with all the moving and making sure that a two year old lab didn't get into any trouble could make anyone lose their head. I rushed back into my empty room and found the elusive leash hiding in my closet. After grabbing the leash and closing the sliding doors I took one last look around my childhood room. Where posters of pop icons, horses, and handsome boys used to grace my walls were bare. Where a bed, a desk, and a dresser used to fill up all the space now was just beige carpet and emptiness, this used to be my childhood room. I sigh as my happily but clueless dog strolled into the room and sat next to me, I smiled down at her.
"It looks so small now. How did I survive these past 18 years in here?"
Then I glanced at myself in the closet mirror and sighed. I had finally cut my long light brown hair to a long bob cut, the Texas heat was finally getting to me and I had, had enough. I then noticed the dark circles under my hazel green eyes that were created from 3 solid days of packing my life into boxes. This move was going to be the end of me.
"If this keeps up I could shed a few pounds. Ha, what do you think Angel" The yellow Lab had nothing really important, but looked at me with boredom in her chocolate eyes, I laughed.
"Yea probably not, but it's a nice thought though. Come on girl, I'll take you on one more walk to say goodbye."
As I clipped the leash on her collar and heading towards the door my dad called out. "Hey Molly, don't walk too far. We're leaving in about an hour ok?" I waved back as I stepped outside "Ok dad, we'll be back before then." Once the door was shut behind me I was surrounded by the sounds of nature; the wind in the trees, birds chirping, crickets singing. God, I was going to miss this place. I didn't know any other home than here and how can you say goodbye to something when you didn't want to. Angel quietly barked to grab my attention, I tried to give her a smile.
"Don't worry Angel. I'm sure Washington won't be that much different. We'll still be surrounded by trees and close to water." She barked louder this time and I took a needed breath, it didn't help with the deep ache that was in my chest "it's going to be ok."
...
The moment we had crossed the Washington state line all I could see out of my window was a blur of green. "Good grief! I have never seen so many trees in my life! I don't think East Texas even has this many." I could hear my dad laughing from the driver seat.
"Well Molly, they don't call the Olympic Peninsula the wettest place on earth for nothing." "Yea, yea but still! It's so green and pretty. What's the name of the town we're living in, Spoons?" I heard mom mumble from her seat as she looked over the Washington state map.
"No, it's Forks Molly and don't forget that the college you're going too is Peninsula College, please try to remember. Thankfully your dad works there and can keep an eye on you." I laughed as my dad winked at me.
"You know dad I'm not taking any of your classes' right? It's just odd having your dad as a college professor, no thanks."
Just then Angel put her head on my lap and whimpered. I scratched her head in sympathy "hey mom, I believe that Angel needs to go again." She let out a big sigh. "We're almost there Molly. Can't you see the blue house at the end of the street?"
As I petted Angel's head I glanced out my window to see a one story, and like my mom said, blue house. It was about the same size as our old home and there was nothing too fantastic about it. "hm, yea I see it."
As our car pulled into our new drive way a man in a cop uniform was walking across the yard. Mom was nearly jumping in her seat "Oh look honey, one of our neighbors came over to say hello!" As we stepped out of the car the cop put out his hand. "Hi there, my name is Charlie Swan; Forks chief police and your neighbor." While my parents were introduced themselves to Chief Swan I took the advantage and walked Angel around the property.
While she was doing her business I had the chance to walk towards the backyard and was surprised to see at how close the forest was to the house. "This is nothing like home."
I was moving closer to get a better look when out of no where Angel started to bark like crazy "Angel, what's the matter? There's nothing out there." But as I reached to pet her a movement in the bushes brought me to a halt. Something moved in the denser part of the trees casting a darker shadow. I shook my head "Your imagining things Molly." But being on the cautious side I grabbed Angel's collar and headed back to the front of the house. There was no way that I was going into some dark woods to investigate. that's way too similar to a horror movie and I hate horror movies.
As I was rounding the corner of the house I noticed that a girl with long brown hair had joined the group. Then mom noticed me and she waved for me to come over. "Molly, I want you to meet Chief Swans daughter Isabella, she's a senior at Forks High." the girl nervously raised her hand to her hair "Please call me Bella." I smiled "it's nice to meet you Bella, I'm Molly and this pretty girl is Angel." Bella smiled and leaned down to pet Angel's yellow fur. "Hello Angel, I haven't seen a lab since I've left Phoenix."
Chief Swan uncomfortably coughed "Yea, Bella came to live with me when her mom and step dad needed to travel for the minors." there was a moment of quietness which instantly changed to awkwardness when mom spoke up.
"Oh, how interesting. Well our daughter is a freshman at Peninsula Collage studying History."
I blushed in embarrassment "Mom that was sort of rude."
"Oh no that is fine, It's in the past. You know Bella loves history as well, especially the Quileute tribe history." replied Chief Swan, I tilted my head in confusion "the Quileute tribe? Who are they?"
Bella nervously looked at me with her brown eyes then out towards the woods, as if seeing something that we couldn't. "They are a tribe who has lived in La Push for generations. They have amazing history."
"Yea, her best friend is Jacob Black and he lives on the Reservation in La Push. Maybe you should take her out there Bella." I watched as Bella gave her dad a look and I instantly felt bad.
"You know she really doesn't have to. I'm sure i'll be fine."
"Oh no, it's fine it's just been a while since I've talked to him." I watched Bella as she looked down at the ground with the saddest look on her face I didn't want to bring up bad memories for her. "Only if you're sure Bella. I don't want to put you in any awkward position." Bella shook her head and smiled "No its fine. It's about time that I saw Jake. Actually if he's with the others you can meet the rest of his friends." Then Angel barked which lighten up the mood making us both giggle. "You can meet them too Angel. I'm sure they will just love you."
We then exchanged numbers and she promised that we could head out to La Push as soon as she knew. Finally Both Chief Swan and Bella headed back to their house in promise to see us around, since we were neighbors and all, such a awkward family but still good people. So for the rest of that day it was pretty normal; moving boxes in, setting up my room, eating pizza for dinner, and finally falling to bed when it was all said and done.
It wasn't until later in the night, as I laid in my bed with Angel curled next to me, that I had finally let my self think about my old home and how much different it was to the new one. New bedroom, new people, new everything, I tried not to cry but everything just came at a rush. I couldn't help it and cried onto Angel's fur. As I rubbed my tears into her soft fur I could hear several wolves howling in the distance. Great, not only do I have to worry about Grizzly bears in the woods, but wolves as well. That's just freaking great, this new home just keeps getting better and better.
