Jackie:No

Me: How about now?

Steph Meyer: No you dont Samantha, I do so na na na na na!

*Sammy goes and cries in a dark corner.*


I turned the Key for the fifth time. Still no luck, that is until the car made the strangest sound I have ever heard. My car sounded angry so I decided it was probably safer to wait outside.

I was only waiting ten minutes before a red jeep drove past and then stopped. A huge guy got out, followed by a beautiful girl with blond hair.

"Hey! Do you need a hand?" He asked walking over. "My girlfriends a mechanic. We can probably get you up and running in no time." He was smiling kindly.

"Thank you, I would really appreciate it." I got up and opened up the hood.

"What the hell did you do?" Cried the girl as she stared at the now smoking engine.

"Well, you know that really long, straight stretch of road over there?" I asked. They nodded. "Yeah well I was kind of pushing 220 when I should have gone no higher than about 180." I looked down sheepishly. I hoped that he wasn't a police officer's son or anything. Then I remembered my dad was the chief of police in Forks.

"Oh, I know how to fix this." She got to work and soon she asked me to try the ignition. It worked.

"Thank you so much! My dad would have been worried sick if I hadn't met him when I said I would."

"No problem." She whipped her greasy hands on his jeans. "So where you headed in such a rush you practically burnt out your engine?" The big guy was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, I'm on my way to Forks. My dad's chief of police there."

"Charlie? We live in Forks to!" He was acting like a three year old. It was so funny I nearly peed myself.

I started to absently stroke my car; it was a silver Volvo that I had sprayed black with white flames. Art was my passion and when I got the car I just had to do some work on it.

"Yeah, I'm moving in with him. You couldn't tell me where about the police station is could you?" I asked timidly.

"We're heading back now anyway so we can take you if you like." Said the girl. "I'm Rosalie by the way. And this is my boyfriend, Emmett."

"I'm Bella." I smiled at them. Rose glanced down at my hand that was still stroking my car.

"You really love this car don't you?" She asked in an amused voice. I felt myself blush.

"Yeah, it was silver when I bought it but I added my own personal touch. Sorry, this is some of the best car work I've done; I'm kind of obsessive about it." The two of them laughed.

"Edward, our brother, has the exact same car. He kept his silver though." Wait, their brother? "We're all adopted." They must have noticed my puzzled look.

"Cool, you two look good together by the way. Sorry, that's really not my place." Phil hated it when I spoke out of place, so did James, especially when we were around other people. I shuddered at the thought.

"It's ok. And thanks!" Just then a silver Volvo pulled up behind Rosalie's and Emmett's jeep. "That's our other siblings." Three beautiful people got out of the car. A small girl with black hair and pixie like features, a tall blond guy who had his arm around the black haired girl, and finally, a tall, muscular, bronze haired God.

"Hey guys, this is Bella, she had car trouble." Called Emmett as the others walked over to us. They smiled politely at me. I smiled back. My phone buzzed in my pocket, making me jump. I flipped open the phone.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Bella, you left me with a little bit of problem. Don't worry; your mother's body has been taken care of. You can come home now." I couldn't breathe, my heart was pounding so hard in my chest I was sure it would break my ribs.

"I'm not coming back." I whispered into the phone.

"What do you mean, not coming back? You have nowhere else to go! You're a cheap slut who deserves no one and that is what you have so deal with it and get your butt back here bitch!" He was yelling and I was all too aware of the people standing not too far away from me.

"I will go back to you when hell freezes over and Satan himself walks up to me and tells me to. Now piss off out of my life!" I whisper yelled at him.

"I'll come for you Bella, you need me. You like the time we spend together. Don't lie to yourself, save us both the hassle and just come home." He sneered. And that was it, I snapped. All thoughts of protecting my secret went out of the window.

"Need you? Need you? I need you as much as I need a freaking hole in the head! You have destroyed my life. But I'm going to fix it. I'm going to have a fantastic life, on my own, independently. And you! You best not even leave the house; I will get you for what you did to my mother! I'll make you wish you had never been born." I was full blown yelling now.

I flipped the phone shut and took a long shuddering breathe before turning back to Rosalie and the others. I put on my biggest smile I had and thought of the first excuse that came in my head.

"Yeah, thanks for helping me, erm, have a great life and I think I'll be going now."

"Wait!" Rosalie obviously didn't want me to leave. "Well this is Alice, Jasper and Edward." She pointed to the in turn. I smiled again. They all seemed to have shocked expressions plastered onto their faces.

"Ok, well, you know what, I'm going to go have another blast down that road again so, thank you so much for fixing my baby and maybe I'll see you around." I wanted to get away from their stares. I had to.

"Oh, what was wrong with your car Bella?" Asked Alice, she sounded rushed, like she was hoping I didn't notice their stares.

"This girl here almost burnt out her damn engine!" Cut in Rosalie.

"How fast were you driving?! I have that car and I drive fast and that has never happened to me." Edward's voice was like velvet.

"Well, the thing is, erm. Ok I have no excuse, I was driving at 220." I looked at the floor whilst they all cracked up. Apart from Rosalie and Edward.

"You could have gotten yourself killed!" He said, "And your poor car!" He seemed to notice the work I'd done on it for the first time. "Wow." Was all he managed to gasp out. "Where did you get this done?" He asked, I was pretty sure he would travel to the Antarctic to have this kind of work done on his Volvo.

"I did it myself." I felt myself blush under his intense, unbelieving stare.

"Really? That is amazing." He bent down to inspect the small signature I'd painted on in white.

"Ok, I'm gunna get going, bye." I got in my car and did a u-turn and...

"Wait. Do know this signature from somewhere?" He asked. Oh only the most popular manga comic series around today.

"Unless you've met me before, no." Unless you read manga of course.

"I know where I've seen this before! On the back of The True Five!" At this all of them openly gasped and stared.

How is it that in the space of ten minutes, these people had managed to uncover my two biggest secrets, when the people I had lived with for nearly eighteen years were completely clueless? My life sucks so badly.

"Bye." I jumped into my car and sped off. I didn't go back onto that fabulous speed road, I headed straight to Forks, going about 90mph.

I saw a green sign with the words, "Welcome to Forks" Written on in white paint and I slowed down. I found the Police station easy.

"Hi, I'm Bella Swan. Is Charlie here?" I asked the receptionist politely. She smiled brightly up at me.

"Oh yes, ever since he got that phone call he has been as happy as a man who's just won the jackpot. I'm afraid he isn't here at the moment; he went out to buy some temporary furniture for you. He told me to give you these." She handed me a piece of paper with directions and a key.

"Thank you so much." I smiled once more before leaving and then walked out the sliding doors and got in my car.

The directions were easy to follow and soon I was stood in front of a beautiful house. My new house. Home.

I parked up and shakily knocked on the door. No one answered so I slid the key into the lock and opened the door. I walked in and wandered around until I heard a car pull up outside. I quickly walked to the door.

"Bella?" A man with teary eyes and a moustache stud in front of me.

"Charlie?" I asked, I already had tear streaming down my face. I ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you so much Bells. I'm so glad you're here." I let go of him and nodded.

"Me too. Now enough of the tear fest. I want to know every little thing about you, Forks, your friends. Everything!" He smiled at me and we spent the rest of the day simply catching up with each other.

He showed me my room and said that I could decorate it however I wanted. He also said he would give me the money to furnish it. I took a deep breath. It was time to tell Charlie that I was not only one of the most successful, but also the youngest Manga artist the world had seen in the past fifty years.

"Dad, I need to tell you something really important. Have you ever heard of Manga?" He nodded his head. "Ok, have you ever heard of a comic called The True Five?" I asked, he shook his head. "Well, I'm the artist that creates the comic every fortnight." He stared at me.

"I don't know what to say Bella, wow. My daughter an artist. Not just an artist but one with her own published comic!" He hugged me again.

"Yeah, I just thought that you should know. And thank you so much for letting me stay with you."

"It's no problem, honestly. Now I've enrolled you in the local high school. You start tomorrow, if that's ok?" He asked.

"That's perfect; I should really get sorted for tomorrow then. Night dad."

"Night Bells." He closed the door behind him and walked down stairs, I heard the telly being turned on and walked into the bathroom to shower.

I finished everything that needed to be done and got into my warm bed. The last thing I thought before I drifted into dreamland was that I was finally safe, I was finally home.
