Story: Born in 1817, in western France, Mia was the daughter of a famous French chef and his equally famous author wife. She was a child prodigy, mastering the cello, piano, and viola by age 7. She began training in archery at age 9, when she discovered that she had the power of telepathy. She didn't tell anyone of her talent. At age 13 she was being trained in various martial arts such as jujitsu, judo, tae kwon do, and French-Polynisean taijitsu. She was a master in all of these by age 17. In 1834, she met Jaques Tristo, a young French artist. They had a whirlwind romance and were married three months after meeting. When Mia turned 19, Jaques announced that he was a vampire and bit Mia to make her like him. When the people of Mia's village heard about this they went after the two young lovers and ended up killing Jaques. Mia escaped by swimming the English channel to Britain. There she spent almost 20 years moving from town to town, training her ability to eat animals not humans. She spent fifty years with the Volturi and another 30 in Germany. In 1936, Mia moved to America just as thoughts of WW2 began to sprout. She now lives in Vancouver, in a cottage by the sea.

"What should I do today, Kyosu?" I asked my tiny white cat. He mewed and curled up in a ball on my blanket.

"No, no, silly kitty, you know I cannot sleep. I was thinking of running down to Port Angeles and finding a good book. Would you like me to bring anything back for you, Kyosu?" I pulled my gray sweater on and quickly found my house key. My little cat did not respond to my question, he was already asleep.

"Well, then I'm off, Kyosu. Guard the house while I'm away." I opened the door and walked out. I turned and locked it. I made my way to the beaten path that led to Port Angeles. I was taking the long way because I didn't want to have to swim. I took off at a brisk pace and when I had run past the village I began to run at vampire speed. I reached Port Angeles by nightfall and found the quiet bookstore on the corner. I walked in and after looking around a bit I selected three books. Naruto volumes 1 & 2 and Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I walked outside and thanks to my super vampire hearing, I heard someone screaming. I headed towards the sound to find a girl with long brown hair surrounded by four guys. I stepped out from the shadows and said, "Go away now and I'll allow you the pleasure of living to see your next birthday."

They all turned and looked at me.

"Hey, lookie here, another chick. And, oh, she's a red-head. I like red-heads." one of the guys slurred. He was shorter than the others with a stocky build. He stumbled over to me and tried to grab my chest. I back-handed him across the face and sent him flying fifty feet into the nearest wall. Knocked him out cold. The other three looked at me in horror, then they all turned tail and ran.

I walked over to the girl. "Hello, I am Mia Summerset. What is your name?"

"Um, I-I'm Bella. Bella Swan."
