(one year later)
It's been a year now since my mother died. She was the world to me. She knew everything about me and all my secrets. When I say everything I mean everything. I couldn't hide anything from her, but that showed me that she at least excepted me. Now that she is dead I'm alone and ostracized away from other kids for being different. This time I'll stay away from others.
My child services lady named Mandy Green took me to the airport. She seemed ok until she told me that they changed my last name. So name went from River Kumare Stein to River Kumare Swan. I know not a big difference, but it was my mother's last name. Why should my name be changed to my father's last name when I never even knew him?
The plane ride wasn't that bad though, I slept and ate through the whole way to Forks. When the plane finally landed I grabbed my bags and walked out. I stood outside looking around for my so called father. Thirty minutes passed while I waited for him until a police car drove up. A tall almost bald man got out. He walked up to me and stared at my face.
"Excuse me, who are you?" I asked him trying to get him to stop staring.
"Oh sorry. My name is Charlie Swan. Are you River Swan?"
"Yes I am. So are you my father?" I asked.
"Yes I am. Wow though you are very gorgeous River. You don't really look like the picture I was given. So was the plane ride ok?" I couldn't help but to smile at his compliment. He didn't seem so bad.
"The ride was ok. May we head home now please I'm actually very tired." I asked him.
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot." he said while grabbing my luggage. Heading towards his car we walked in silence. The car ride to the house was also silent until he decided to speak.
"You do have a sister though. Her name is Isabella. She is not living with me now though, but she does live with your Uncle Billy in La Plush. It's only about an hour away form our house though if you want to see her. Your new room will be her old one. You can design it anyway you want." Oh great! Now I have a sister too. what else should I know. jeez.
I sat quietly listening to him drone on about my new sister. I noticed the town was a huge forest. Finally the only good thing I found so far while here.
"Oh and your motorcycle arrived at the house yesterday. I hope you're careful on it." he told me. Finally my baby came. The only true material object in my life that I actually love. The speed is what I love about it though. When we reached the house I jumped out of the car and walked up to my Harley. I checked it thoroughly to make sure there were no scratches on the body. Luckily there wasn't. On one side I painted bats while on the other side I painted wolves. My Harley was no ordinary Harley though. I changed the engine to make it faster. I used a Kawasaki engine. Charlie watched me closely while I examined my bike.
"Thank you Charlie for watching over it." I said softly.
"Your welcome. Now lets go inside and get some rest. For school starts tomorrow and I don't want you to be tired." he responded back.
"Just go up the stairs and it's the door to the right." he said.
"Thank you". I walked upstairs to my room and fell on the bed. I was to exhausted to change into pajamas so I just slept in my bra and underwear.
