Welcome to Forks: The wettest place in the continental US
"I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by fear"

Urg, the rain. I hate the rain, it is like some form of evil set out to destroy me, or if not that then just to make my life harder. I have'nt the slightest idea why Bella moved here, as she too detests the rain, but definately not for the reasons that I do...
I have so far been sucessful in avoiding the water that constantly falls from the sky here. This is going to be the hardest two weeks of my life, but Bella is my cousin and best friend, and she needs me. From what Charlie told me, her boyfriend just left her and she has been practically lifeless ever since.
I have arrived at uncle Charlie's house, it is just as I remember, small and cozy, there is definately something about his house which says 'family home'.
I knock on the door, Charlie answers and as soon as he saw me his face lit up.
"Welcome Lisa, I am so glad you could come. Bella has been excited to see you, or as excited as possible. Dont feel like she doesnt want you here if she ignores you, its just you know... with the whole boyfriend thing and all..."
"Thanks for inviting me Charlie, I'm sure I can help Bella take her mind off... things..." Honestly I did'nt know shit about making people feel better, I have never had much of a social life outside my own family, and I feel awkward around people when they cry.
"Well Bellas at school at the moment and will be home in about an hour, I'm going to La Push to watch the game with some friends, just make yourself at home while I'm gone."
"Thanks I will" With that Charlie left and I pulled my luggage up the stairs to what I knew from previous visits is the guest room, and un-packed my things. I did'nt have much so I decided to look around the house.
Overall the house was much the same and the only changes were fresh coats of paint every now and then, I entered the room at the end of the hall I figured it was Bella's room.
Her bed sheets are purple, there is acomputer that looks like it ought to be in a museum, a rocking chair, and the thing that stood out the most was a particular scent. It smelt like something sweet and fresh, could it be?..., no why on earth would a vampire have been in Bella's room?
Ther is no thime to time to worry about that now Bella is home, I can hear her truck pulling up in the drive way, in fact I am sure the neighbours can hear it too.
Bella entered the house and she looked like hell, just one look at her and you can tell that she is seriously depressed.
"Hey Bellsy" I had always called her Bellsy and she called me Lisy
"Oh, uh, hi Lisy-" What did I tell you "- Charlie said you were coming today, I just did'nt expect you till dinner"
"Well, I'm here now, and school is officially over for four weeks, and we have all that time to spend together. Charlie went out by the way, he wont be back untill late tonight so what do you say to chinese take-out and a movie?"
I was trying desperately to get the school break off to a good start, and God Knows that I dont want to go home early.
~Flashback~
Our ferry out to the statue of liberty crshed into something submerged in the water and is sinking fast, my mother is desperately trying to keep us above the water, but to no avail.
The boat is completely sunk and the survivors are left wading in the water, my mother is already drowned and my father was just pulled onto a rescue boat and they are coming this way.
I am about to be saved. Alas that thought came too soon, something is holding onto my leg and is pulling me under, it is swimming with me trailing behind it.
Next thing I know, I am in a hospital bed. Atleast I am alive, the doctors say that I have no serious injuries apart from a small bite, probly from an aquatic creacher of some kind, nothing to worry about. I am sent home with my father, who is still in denial about my mother's death, and has started drinking, when he is drunk he blames me for all his problems.
I hate my life back home, I have to keep my entire life and all of my secrets away from my father because if he knew about those secrets he would eather expose them to the public, which would mean being stuck as a lab rat for the rest of my life, or he would use it as an advantage, threaten me and torment me.
My father knows nothing about me. All he knows is that I am his 'good for nothing daughter', he doesnt even know my birthday.
These arethe reasons that I moved out. I am alone in an appartment, with no friends, no visitors. I am merely that, alone.
~Flashback~
"Umm... chinese sounds good... and I guess a movie will be... fun." I desperately wanted to ask her if she knew anything about vampires being in her room, but it went against my better judgement, a voice in the back of my head told me not to, 'if you ask her then you will have to explain how you know and then god only knows what will happen when someone on the outside knows about you...' So I let the vampire thing go, but I plan to sneek in there while she is out and find the source of the scent.
"Great, you go order the chinese and I will pick a movie." I knelt down by the entertainment unit and found loads of movies, Romeo and Juliet? no I'm here to take her mind off her breakup, The Notebook? definately not, umm this is going to be hard it is virtually impossible to find a movie without romance. I search deeper into the cabinent, Ha a horror good no romance. I set up the dvd and wait for Bella to come back into the lounge room.
"Dinner will be here in half an hour"
"Good, do you want to start the movie?" Bella's eyes looked into mine questioning, she most likely knew that most of the movies in the house are romance
"Sure" She took a seat on the couch next to me and I stared the movie.
The opening credits finished and the movie began, it is about a succubus (a vampre who sleeps with his or her prey before drinking their blood), this specific one was male and is currently seducing his innocent victom. Bella had been on edge throught the whole movie, but it wasnt until this specific scene that she broke down. For a moment I thought that maybe the movie reminded her of how her boyfriend used her and then just left.
But why would a harmless vampire movie remind you of your ex-boyfriend?
