Chapter 1 - Forks!

Washington. Totally different from England. However, I guess it's not surprising as London is a multi-cultural, bustling, lively city. Whereas Forks to my very minimal knowledge is a small and quiet town, where everyone knows everything and anything there is to know about eachother. A town home to no more than three thousand, one hundred and twenty people. Forks is quite secluded but not to far out for there to be nothing to do on a friday night, and of course there has to be a decent mall somewhere. It's only an hour away from Port Angeles and a four hour drive away from Seattle, so there is somewhere to shop! Oh, did i forget to mention that it rains in Forks about three hundred and sixty two days of the calender year. So yeah, perfect town to home a one hundred and seven year old vampire looking to not draw any attention from the public eye, i mean three thousand people isn't that much...right?

Anyway, we've just passed the "Welcome to Forks" sign and if i am totally and completely honest i am a little excited. I mean this will hopefully be the first time in nearly fifty years that i will settle down and stay for more than a few months. Stepping out of the cab and looking up at the house that would be mine for however long i want, was like stepping into one of them dreams that all little girls have. The one where your surrounded by family in a small front garden encased by a small white picket fence, and a tyre swing hung from that one big, old oak tree thats been there since forever. That dream? Yeah thats the one but the most important thing is missing, the thing that will never make this little girls dream come true. Family.

However, every other thing is right here. Looking up and i see the most amazing house i have ever seen....well for me it is. A small white house with a brown oak door, a slanted tiled roof and wooden mahogany framed windows. Flowers of all kinds and colours bordering the small stone path leading up to the front door, grass on the front lawn swishing and swaying due to the cold september wind. The branches of the old, oak tree making a hallow sound like those in old horror movies, while the leaves rustle to give it that perfect effect. As i walk up the path towards the door i can't help but have this feeling that being here in forks will change my life completely. Crazy i know.

The house may look small from the outside but the inside is a different matter. Hardwood flooring leading from the hall through all of the ground floor, the high ceilings making the hall look more spacious. A mother of pearl framed mirror on the left wall in the walkway, three or four beautiful paintings hanging on the wall of the staircase, which is straight ahead to the right, and in the space under the stairs a old mahogany glass cabinet filled with ornaments and photographs i have collected over the years. On the right an arch leading to the living room, which is as cozy as i had imagined, a three seater sofa opposite a big stone fireplace, a loveseat to the right and a chair to the left. In the middle of the floor a cream ruffled rug before the fireplace, completing the look of a cozy family home...well home for one. To the back of the lounge is my white baby grand piano facing the floor to ceiling windows that look out towards the back garden, which is surrounded by the forest of Forks.

Straight ahead past the staircase is a similar archway leading to the kitchen/dining room. The floor of black and white tiles match the tiles boardering the black marble work tops. Completed with white cupboard doors with silver handles. The kitchen utensils all stainless steel and the white granite breakfast bar finish the look perfectly. Upstairs, a landing decorated cream and red, to the right is the spare bedroom which i have changed into my own personal library. Stocked with thousands of books (i really think the men who moved me in deserved that bonus tip) floor to ceiling in wooden bookshelves, this is really like stepping out of my dream. Along the hall to the left of the staircase are two doors, the first door you come to is the bathroom, aqua and white patterned tiles giving the feel of refreshment. A whirlpool corner bath, that is surrounded by small lights that make it seem magical in the dark. A glass encased shower, and a toilet with a basin completing the bathroom suite.

The last door down on the left is the master bedroom. My bedroom. Well, lets just say it's perfect for me. A big open space, like the whole of the back of the house, giving you a view of the forest and mountains were floor to ceiling windows, which slide across to give access to a balcony that over looks the back garden. The black metal headboard of the queen sized bed, standing against the main wall, wallpapered black with gold and silver rose, swirl patterns. The two other walls were painted a brilliant white. Beneath my feet lay a tiger gold, fluffy, shagpile carpet that just makes you want to curl up and go to sleep. Along the right wall, a door that leads to my massive walk in closet/vanity.

I walk in and dump my three suitcases that i brought with me onto my bed and quickly unpack my clothes into my spacious closet. Mentally reminding myself that i need to shop for more clothes and accessories next weekend. I also have to go to the grocery store, make an appearence, you know, just so people don't get suspicious. Before that though i need to get out of my travel clothes and wash. So unzipping the case with my bathroom supplies, i walk into the bathroom, strip from my clothes, turning on the spray and stepping under the warm water of the shower. Getting quick to work on lathering my body with my freesia body wash, and enjoying the feel of the water flowing down my body. Massaging my favorite strawberry shampoo into my scalp and working it through my curly hair. Qiuckly rinsing i step out and grab my white fluffy towel and wrap myself up while i walk to my closet and pick out an outfit to go to the store in, baring in mind that i am going for a quick hunt before school starts.

I dress in my most comfiest blue jeans and pull on a black fitted t-shirt with angel wings on the back and the word "Innocence" on the front. Tying my damp hair into a ponytail and stepping into some converse, i grab my jacket and bag and head out the door. Opening the doors to the small garage i squeal in delight upon seeing my car. Sigh. My car, a midnight blue Lamborghini Murcielago, my baby. I bought it in England last year when they first came out, lets just say they cost a fortune, and a fortune i have got.

Finding the grocery store was easy, it's only small but i'm guessing Forks is thankful to have it, instead of going all the way to Port Angeles for food. I park in a empty spot and grab a cart before i enter the store. I start making my way down the aisles just dropping anything into my cart. I turned to make my way to the checkout when, me being me bumped into someone.

"I'm so, so sorry. I wasn't looking where i was going". I mumbled as i looked up to see a small girl around my age, with frizzy brown hair, a shade lighter than mine, and blue eyes, stumble to keep her balance.

"No, no your okay. You're new here right?" She asked.

"Yeah, just doing a bit of shopping".

She thought for a minute before asking, "Are you attending Forks High?"

"Yes, actually i am. Starting as a junior tomorrow",

"Thought so there has been this rumour going around that there will be a new student, everyone's excited. Now i see why!" she said this in a thoughtful voice as she give me a once over.

"I'm Jessica by the way", holding out a hand "I'm a junior too." She seemed excited about something as her eyes lit up.

Shaking her hand i reply "Bella"

"Yeah well, you can sit with me and my friends at lunch tomorrow if you like?"

"Okay that would be great",while thinking the idea of keeping to myself has just gone out the window.

"Great see you at school Bella" she called over her shoulder as she walked away.

I paid and made my way home so i could unpack and go hunting.

After everything was in the fridge, i ran through the forest, weaving through the trees leaving the wildlife in my wake momentarily stunned. I found two elk, one buck and a grizzly. Satisfied i went home and found it was still only 3am, so i went and read one of my favorite classics "Pride and Prejudice", until it was time to get ready for school.
