CHAPTER 1 - NEW HOME

As I walk up the long winding gravel path to a new home, my mind races with the tale of the family who was. Those that walked this path before me, before the builders and various workman, who fixed up the window panels and the door frames, who stripped the half worn colouring that coated its exterior, replacing it with an antique white.

This home has been empty for 24 years. The Mason's left after a horrible accident claimed the life of their only child. The constant reminders drove them into a deep depression forcing them to leave. The house remaining as it was, furniture and all.

The front hallway is dusty and worn out yet in a strange sense welcoming. I walk into the lounge room and take in all that surrounds me, from the crayon on the wall, to the juice stain on the rug. A feeling of sadness washes over me as I realise just how difficult all these little things would have been to see, not wanting them to be there but not wanted them gone either, no choice but to leave.

Approaching footsteps pulls me out of my trace as Renee walks in carrying the first of many boxes from the car.

"So have to decided which room you want?" she smiled warmly noticing my daze.

"Oh, umm I kinda got distracted…" I admitted, "But I don't mi-"

"HAHA, big one is mine then!" the said cutting me off as she ran up the stairs and out of sight.

Half the time I can't help but feel like I am the mother. I have always been told I was never really a child I was always the adult, looking after Renee had become like a full time job.

"Bells?" Charlie yelled from the porch.

Charlie is my father. He is also the chief of police in this small town of forks. He has lived here his whole life. But Renee has lived in Phoenix. After all these years they have finally decided to make it official and get married. The wedding was simple, just close friends and family gathered in a small chapel. And now we are officially a family, Charlie thought it best we got a house big enough for all of us that can become our home.

"Yes dad?" I yelled back not wanting to leave my place in the lounge room filled with the memories of a family that was.

"Some one's here to see you" he called.

Puzzled I walked to the door to see who on earth would be here for me, since I haven't been near forks since I was 5. Over 10 years ago!

A tall figure stood leaning, arms folded, against the door frame, his piercing green eyes staring at me as I approached.

"Umm…Hi…." I stated numbly lost in of the intensity in this expression.

"Bella, this is Edward he is driving you to school today since your truck isn't ready yet. I would do so myself but your mother and I will be busy unpacking boxes then packing our suitcases for Italy." Charlie paused waiting for my reaction then continued, "The Cullen's live down the road and Carlisle, Edwards's father, suggested it would be good to get to know each other, since your mother and Esme are so close."

I nodded "sure, uh, thanks… I'll just grab my bag" a ran out to Charlies cruiser and pulled by backpack out of the boot and turned to run back to the porch, only to find myself walking into something, or someone.

"Hey there" a deep voice boomed "I'm Emmett".

Stepping back I took him in, he was tall maybe 6ft. but this was nowhere near as intimidating as the rippling muscles. This was definitely someone you don't want to cross.

A huge grin spread on his face as he laughed as my expression, I must have looked terrified.

"He's harmless" a high pitch voice stated.

Looking around I noticed a small figured girl step out of a monstrous jeep.

"I'm Alice" she chirped "and you've met Edward and Emmett"

"Hurry up we will be late" she barked at the boys "I need to see Rose before class"

"No, you want to try 'run into' Jasper" Emmett said trying not to break out in laughter again.

Who were these people? A bubbly pixie like girl named Alice, a large marshmallow named Emmett and a quiet boy named Edward. Well, I thought to myself, things can only get better…can't they
