Prologue:
Have you ever woken to feel like somebody is watching you? Have you ever felt a coldness down your spine? Would you believe of monsters who sparkle?
In the time I've been in Forks, I've experienced all these and more. I've lived here for over a year, Just an ordinary town, in the middle of the wettest state in the United States of America. Not that I am a stranger to bad weather. Growing up in England, you become accustomed to bad weather. Moving to Forks, Washington with my mother and brother was meant to be a step away from England, though I personally think it was a step down. Least, that's what I thought till he walked into my life. His dark hair, his Bronze eyes, his sweet scent. Everything about him, had me lusting for more. An uncontrollable desire for him.
Chapter 1.
As the rain pounded down on the rooftop of our Forks residence, I sighed and glanced out of the window. Was a long time since I had seen the sun, and worryingly, I was now starting to miss England. However, You could not get the night time setting that Forks offered, anywhere near where I used to live. The dark skies were always clear. A small mist of dew from the days rain in the air. The stars shining so bright, and the sound of wolves howling in the background. I'd happily stay up all night and watch Forks sleep, than be awake and soaking wet and face day in and day out at my job. I work for the local newspaper. Up till recently nothing much had really been classed as news. And with half of Forks related someway or another, It wasn't like they needed a newspaper either. Well, that was in till they arrived. The Cullens. Not that I mind though. Means I get to do more than just run around for coffee and cake for the editor. Now I get to write. From the moment they arrived, some 5 months after me and my family, There's been nothing but weird happenings in town. Wolves every night, People going missing... Very strange. Though then I guess the whole family is weird. They all look like they belong in magazines. Models. There is Dr Cullen, and his wife, Esme. They look no older than 30 something, yet have 4 teenage children living with them. Story is they adopted them separately. Yet two date each other. Very strange. Not that the family is a bad strange. They are all charming and lovely to talk to. I just can't put my finger on what it is about them all. The children attend my brothers school. Edward, Alice, Jasper and Emmett. Although Emmett is now graduated from there. Alice and Jasper are dating. Edward is dating the local celebrity, Chief Swans daughter, Bella. And Emmett....well who knows. He was something else. I felt my lips turning up as I thought about Emmett. Tall, much more taller than any normal person. His face looked like it had been etched like an angel. His hair just always sat perfect. Deep brown locks.. His sweet, amber eyes... His big strong muscles. I sighed, realising I was drooling slightly at the thought of him. He was perfect, that's the one word used to describe him. And somehow, this delightful angel was single. I had no idea how. All the girls in forks could easily catch his eye. Yet none seemed to have.
I was stopped in my train of thoughts by a loud rustling outside. I looked round my window to the tree nearby, nothing. Must of been a bird, I thought to myself. Dragging my thoughts away from Emmett, and the Cullens, I focused on my challenge at hand. Finding something to wear for work. Opening my wardrobe, I sighed disheartened. I could never find anything I would look good in. I starred at the mirror in the wardrobe, and shook my head at the image before me. My hair was a sullen reddish brown, It had been stunning red. Before I moved to forks, but no sun, meant no shine to my hair. Now it was lifeless, shoulder length and absolutely no gloss. My face was plain, pale as always, with the only colour coming from my lips and eyes. Oh my eyes, the only part of my body I was happy with. They still shone a bright light blue, no matter what weather. I was also too short. 5'6 to be exact. It was horrible to find clothes to fit my legs. Sighing I pulled out a pair of skinny jeans and matched it with a black baggy top. Would have to do, I thought, almost rushing now to get to work. Not that I wanted to go to work.
The drive to work was easy enough, Forks wasn't that large a town, and everywhere was just off the highway. Indicating to take the turn, I took my eyes off the road for a few seconds. The next thing I knew, I was crashing into something. My seat belt jerking my whole body back into my seat. I looked up, undoing the buckle of my seat belt. There he was, one hand holding the car where it was. I stopped the engine. My eyes not removing from the person in front of me. A tear started to form in my eyes, I had hurt someone.
Suddenly they disappeared from in front of me, shaking my head I figured I must of been disoriented. The door opened.
"Hello, Are you ok?" The edgy voice from my left spoke. I looked to the side and noticed he was there. Shocked I looked at him, I must of starred at him for a whole minute before another word was spoken.
"Its Emma right?" He spoke again, this time softer, "Are you okay?" I snapped my mouth shut, realising I must of looked a state. Nodding softly, I felt his hand take mine. I shuddered, It was icy cold. He noticed my movement, and moved his hand away. "Sorry, Can you move? Stay there, I'll call my dad, Carlisle." I only heard parts of what was said on the phone, my head rested against the seat. My breathing shallowed to a light breath. He had been there, in front of the car. Yet he seemed fine. How? And how did he get to the car door so fast. I opened my eyes and starred at him for a little while. There was definitely something about Emmett Cullen.
