Author Note: This is my first ever fanfiction so please comment or give suggestions but don't be mean to me because I don't like mean people!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Claire de Lune. I was born an orphan so I named myself. I live in a big mansion in France, but I had a feeling in my heart that I needed to go to Forks, Washington, so I bought a ticket on the plane.

It turned out I had to get a private plane, though, because I have so many clothes and a whole big bag full of hair dye. I dye my hair every day and it's never the same twice. Today my hair is black with a gold streak down the left side and a purple one down the right. They match my eyes, which are gold with a purple ring around the pupil.

The private plane thing was totally okay, though, because I have a job as a model, so I don't need to worry about money that much. But before I left I gave a lot of my money to charity because I didn't want to bring anything extra to America. I would probably be able to get a job in a couple of seconds anyway.

Did I mention I'm a vampire? I'm almost one-hundred years old but I only look sixteen, which is good because I have time to learn all sorts of different things but I can still be a teenager forever.

Anyway, the airplane trip was really boring but I managed to translate War and Peace into German, so at least I got something done during that time. I wouldn't have been happy if I hadn't contributed to humanity in some form. It would've been a waste of time.

It was rainy in Forks when I got there, which I guess would be good if I didn't know how to keep myself from sparkling in the sun. Maybe there would be other vampires here, though, since they don't have to worry about the sunlight so much.

So I was walking through the town and feeling bad for the people there because they didn't know there were vampires around out to eat them. I wouldn't eat them, but maybe the other ones would. I felt so sorry for them that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and walked straight through the woods until I found a house.

It was a huge mansion, right in the middle of the woods. If the other vampires would strike anywhere, it would be here. I decided I would have to warn these people, even if it meant telling them that I was a vampire as well. It was a risk I would have to take.

So I went inside.
