The Tragedy of Forks Pt 1

Welcome to Chapter two!

I don't own anything, story and characters are Stephenie Meyers!

I saw a flash or red and my heart started beating loudly. I turned the corner and came face to face with someone I really didn't want to see.

"Well hello Bella" Lauren sneered at me. I sighed in relief. Giving the best smile I could manage I responded.

"Oh it's just you. How are you?"

"Excuse me? Just me? Who were you expecting it to be? I am very important you know!" Wow if looks could kill. Well if they could I would probably a mass murder, starting with he whom shall not be names and I wasn't referring to Harry Potter. I rolled my eyes and tried to think of a good excuse to exit this one way conversation.

"Are you even listening to me Bella? God this is why Edward left you!" My head snapped up when she said his name. It felt like someone was squeezing my heart and stealing the oxygen in my lungs. I couldn't respond, I just looked at her.

"Hmmph can't even respond huh? Your no fun when Angela isn't around. You can't protect yourself at all." She stalked away from me and I hung my head. Why was I so unable to do anything? Why was I so pathetic? So stuck on one person? I shook my head. Angela was right if I keep thinking like this I will only go back into that depression. I looked at my list of things I needed to buy and went shopping. I gathered what I needed and went to check out.

"Bella! The chief's daughter? Long time no see young lady!" Ron the store owner smiled widely at me when I approached the counter. I smiled in return. I loved this man, he was one of the kindest people I knew.

"Ron it's only been two days." I laughed slightly. He was a big guy with short black hair; he knew everyone in Forks and was the best gossip. He was also looking out for any of the Cullens for me since he had family all over the United States. He had sent pictures and often called asking if anyone has seen them. Another reason I loved this man, he was like anther father to me. His wife was fantastic as well; she was a stable mother that I needed at times. She helped me get through those first three months.

"Two days is to long young lady. I heard you are going to a party tomorrow!" He winked at me. "It will be good for you to go out."

"A party means you have to have the right dress to attend! And haven't I got the perfect thing for you!" Maria, Ron's wife, came rushing from the back of the store with a box in hand.

"Nooo Maria!" I groaned. She smile and placed the box in my hands. She opened the top and took out a dark green dress that would go down to my knees and didn't leave much to imagine in the cleavage area. It was beautiful.

"I made it just for you, I made it green since I know you hate blues no a days. I will hear no buts! You will take the dress, even if you don't go to the party." She packed up the dress carefully, in a way I could never imitate, and lightly chucked it at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes Maria." I looked at my watch and gasped. I paid for my groceries and said my goodbyes. I lugged my items to the car. I was struggling to carry everything.

"Miss May I assist you?"

"Oh no its fine" My voice cut out when I looked up at the man before me. "Laurent?"

"Hello Bella. I am pleased that you remembered me." He grabbed my heavy bags easily and placed them in my truck. "Listen to me carefully; you need to leave Forks immediately. Victoria made a huge mistake. I can't go into details here but please you must leave. If they catch you the vampire world could become unstable."

"First of all why the hell should I trust you? Didn't you try to eat me and then escape from Jacob and them? Also I will not leave my family! What is going to happen?" I shouted at him.

"Bella! Please!" he grabbed my arms shook me a little. "You don't understand, they know about you and you need to leave. Come with me please or leave on your own but you need to go somewhere safe. I am trying to find the Cullens but they disappeared." I shoved past him and got into my truck. I glared at him. "

"The Cullens are gone and never coming back. Danger? I don't see anything but you. I wont believe you until I see it for myself!" I drove away. I looked back in my mirror to see a terrified Laurent running away. I had a bad feeling in my stomach.
