Chapter 1

Bella P.O.V

Forks. A small rainy town. I still remember how we got here.

My three brothers, James, Aaron, and Eli and I are going to Forks to get away from our mom Renee and step dad Phil.

My mom and dad Charlie got divorced when I was four. We lived with my mom since then. We use to visit my dad in the summer but that stopped when we were eight.

My mom met Phil when I was eleven. She had barely only knew him a few months before she married him. My brothers and I didn't like him so we stayed away from him. I had just turned twelve and my mom and Phil had been having problems.

From the age of twelve until my seventeenth birthday Phil raped me. I had told my mom and she said she would take care of it. She never did anything, I later found out that it was all her idea. She wanted him to be able to let all his "frustrations" out.

On my seventeenth birthday when he tried to rape me I ran downstairs and started screaming at my mom. The only word my brothers caught were Phil, rape, and me. They beat the living hell out of Phil.

Now we're in Forks. Now I admit that it is probably good we're in a town this small so we can't get into trouble. We all have a record.

All my brothers have records for street racing and underage drinking. I have a record for street racing, underage drinking, breaking and entering, and assault and battery.

I broke into a liquor store to get my brothers and I something to drink. I hit a cop because he grabbed my ass when he pulled me over.

We're not exactly the best kids. We also got tattoos. We all got a line of barb wire around our left wrist, it was a bonding thing and we were half drunk.

I have two other tattoos. I have a phoenix on my right side. On my right arm I have the saying "Beautiful as the stars, but as untamed as the wildest beast" My brothers made that saying just for me and I got it as a tattoo.

Now we're in Forks. We haven't seen my dad since we were eight. Our mom did tell us he got remarried. We called our dad after hearing that.

He told us his new wife's name is Kentia and she has two kids, Barbara and Mabel. Kentia was recently widowed. Her husband was a preacher and she lived by the bible. Apparently Charlie got her to loosen up a little.

Apparently all three girls wear skirts and shirts. They also have bows in their hairs. When Charlie got her to loosen up, why didn't he get them some real clothes.

Now we're in Forks. I guess it's time to go meet the widowed preachers wife and her daughters. God help us.
