My name is Isabella Swan. If you looked at me from the outside you would see a normal, plain, run of the mil girl. But you should never read a book by its cover. I am far from normal. Humans over the years have turned to the rational sides of their brains. They tend to block out anything that would shake or startle their perfect normal world. Which is what would happen if they found out what I was. I like it better this way, I like the hiding. Over the years I have learned to blend in, to become invisible. In all honesty in made what I had to do simpler.
My job was to protect the humans and keep them safe. When I was born I was entrusted with certain powers. Powers that where given to me from the earth its self. If a human saw me practicing my ability they would undoubtedly mistake me for a witch or some other person dabbling in the energies of the universe. No I do not take the powers I have, I must ask for them every single time. My powers come from the living earth. I am a shaman. Other cultures myths have called my kind guardians. Which seems to be the better description for the job I was charged with.
As a shaman I was trained and told to keep the humans safe. Not so much from other humans or the humans own creations, but from the evils that walked the earth. There was so much taint in the world. Shamans were not the only things that walked the world that would shatter a humans reality. Everything they have written in their story books are true. Dragons , faeries, sprites, witches, demons, and any other mythical creature you could think of still lived in the world among the humans. They were here long before and would remain long after. The problem was that some of them were not happy when the control of power got passed from the myth to the humans. They found the humans weak and not worthy of the control of the planet. But earth itself disagreed. The humans loved the planet like none other. How can a planet love many ask. Its simple, we are here because it wanted it that way. Every plant animal and creature is here because the earth willed it. Little did the earth know that its creations would grow in power to the point where it alone could not keep them in line. Thats why it created shamans. Thats why I am here on a plane flying to my new assignment. I was to go to a town called Forks. It was located in the state a Washington. All I was told was there was darkness there that needed to be watched over.
