Chapter 1: Escapede

I stood out on the humid, cold, dark sky of London, England waiting for my cab as I attempt to make a run for my life. As my cab arrives, I'm thinking this through. Should I go? Yes, he's hunting you down. He'll never find you there'' I think to myself.

Hey miss, Do you want this cab cause I don't have all day.'' the cabbie says.

Yeah I do','I say and threw my bags in the boot and jump into the cab.

Where to ?" the cabdriver asks.

The airport ',' I mumble. And where exactly was I going? Heading straight to Forks.

I bought my ticket to Seattle and would be taking a connecting flight from there onward to Port Angeles and then a taxi to Forks. I boarded the plane at around 1 p.m. I feel slightly anxious but I assure myself that what I'm doing is for the best.

I drifted off into sleep and I didn't wake up until the bitchy air-stewardess woke me up. I got my luggage and sat down at one of the uncomfortable, plastic chairs at the airport. I had about half and hour to my next flight to Port Angeles. I opened my handbag and dug for my handphone. I dialed a number and waited.

Hello?''A girl's voice spoke over the phone.

Hey, Bella. It's me, Emma. I'm at Seattle now and I think I'll be at Forks by evening. Have you told Charlie that I'm coming?'' I say urgently.

Yeah, I have. I haven't got the room ready for you yet but you can bunk in with me',' She says calmly

Ok. Thanks so much for everything. I owe you big time',' I say, gratefully.

You don't owe me anything, Emma. Just get here safely.''Bella says.

Ok.I gotta go now. I'll get a taxi to your place.'' I say

Bye then.'' Bella says.

Bye.'' I say and put down. In the plane, I think about many things. I was going to enroll in Forks High and I dreaded it. Well at least Bella had it easy," I think. I'm tall, a brunnette, have dark brown eyes and I'm slim. I have thin lips and high cheekbones. My hair is long and wavy. My skin tone were fair but I wasn't pale like Bella.

I board the plane and and I read a book to keep myself entertained. When the plane touched down,I got my luggage,went through customs and halted a cab.I directed him to the Swan's residence and sat impatiently in the car,fidgeting with my fingers.

Forks hasn't changed much," I think as the taxi sped down the lane that leads to the Swan's house. And before I know it I'm at here. I pay the cabbie,get my bags and run to the doorstep,feeling excited and anxious.

I take a deep breath and ring the doorbell. I tapped my feet impatiently while waiting for someone to answer the door and get a shock when the door is flunged open and it's not Bella. It's someone else.
