In the distance I could hear the distinctive sound of a river. Finally! I had been without water for days now. Running to the river, I gulped down water greedily. Once my thirst was cured, I looked into the water to see my reflection.

Who was she? The reflection showed a girl with long matted dark brown hair, wild eyes and dirt all over her face. Was this what I had become? I hadn't really cared about my appearance since, well, since the Cullen's left. Well now's as a good a time as any. I took off the mud caked clothing that I had on and started washing it. Once I had gotten them mostly clean I set them in the sun to dry and dove into the river to clean myself off.

Swimming around in the cold water brought a small smile to my face; it had been so long since I'd been able to relax. In fact, the last time I had even gone swimming was the summer before I moved to forks. I was with my best friend Blaire. That was also the last day I saw her. She disappeared that night, after a long search the case was closed and classified as 'runaway'. After many disappearances Renee decided to move and when I didn't want to I moved up to forks with Charlie.

Unfortunately that in turn caused me to meet the Cullen's. I got out the river and put my clothes back on. I grabbed my duffle bag and as I was about to take off a loud crack came from somewhere behind me. I whirled around and saw a tall, buff man with short brown hair and a small woman behind him with long blonde hair. "Damnit char now look. I told ya to stay put." His voice was low and deep. He turned to face me. His red eyes stared at me. "Listen sugar, were not here to hurt ya. We just saw ya and thought you might need some help. My names Peter and this is Charlotte. Were here to help you." His voice was soft and kind. But I wasn't sure I could trust him.

Maybe they would help me, but then again they could just want to devour me like the rest of those bloodsuckers. "My names Izzy." I said quietly knowing they would hear me loud and clear either way. "Well Izzy, do you know where you are?" I shook my head. "Well then I'd like to welcome you to Texas." The blonde stepped forward and said loudly. I kept my face blank, I still wasn't too sure about these two. "Well now I don't want you to be alarmed Hun, but I'm assuming you see our red eyes and I just want you to know were not going to-" I cut her off swiftly to save myself from a long lecture. "I already know, don't sweat it."

They looked at me like I was crazy. What a surprise. "So you know. Well I'll be darned Char, now we gotta keep her." He turned to face the woman with an excited look on his face. "Well I mean, I guess we could." she seemed apprehensive. "Hello, Hi. Yea I'm right here and I'm not a dog. You don't just get to Keep me. For once my voice was loud and clear. "Well Sugar, I'm afraid we have to. "He turned to me with a regretful look, And with that he lifted me over his shoulder and proceed to kidnap me. Great. I'm just a freaking vampire magnet aren't I.
