Point of view: Sylvia. Time: After Breaking Dawn.

Chapter 1

STRANGE EVENING

There was always constant gossip around La Push. People never seemed to have anything better to do. The newest rumour was that Sam, Jared, Paul, Embry, Jacob, Quil, Leah, Seth, Collin and Brady were a cult. Along with all of them there has also been some talk about others. A few younger boys who people are becoming worried about.

Ever since Sam Uley disappeared for two weeks a while back rumours have been going round. From what I've heard and seen, one day a guy is suddenly gigantic, he then disappears for a while, until suddenly he reappears with a hair cut and no shirt. They leave their old friends and join the gang which was started by Sam after he disappeared. I guess he's the leader of their now incredibly large group.

Its only really teenagers and concerned parents who gossip about it all. My dad and mom always warn me to stay away from them. My mom especially. She goes on about how they are supposedly dangerous and take steroids which I'm not sure if I believe or not. No one has actually seen them do anything remotely awful anyway. As usual people are just judging by appearance, which I hate.

I always ignore my parents when I think they're being paranoid. I don't want to end up like them; worrying about stuff doesn't solve anything. However I never normally see any of the group to go near so I couldn't disobey their silly warnings of how big, bad and tough they all are.

The ones in school were hardly ever in and school was the only place I went, along with the forest too. I stayed at home usually as I didn't have many people willing to hang out with me. I wasn't what you called popular.

Today was different from my usual repetitive day. At school my science experiment had blown up and the teacher is now pissed at me and my mom has put me in charge of the shopping list. I had to get some food and other essentials when I got home from after school studying. My parents wanted me to go to one of the expensive colleges hundreds of miles away. You had to be clever to get into those and so I put a lot of effort in to my school work to make them proud.

It isn't too far away the store and I could handle a few bags of shopping. I'm not as weak as people think I' am. I was glad I didn't need help from a family friend. I hate asking people for favours as I always feel really cheeky. I prefer to do everything for myself. I like being independent as much as possible.

I was glad about the weather too. Its one of those rare sunny days today. I hadn't needed a jacket too thick for school and instead of hanging out at the library during dinner I sat outside on one of benches under the trees. Sitting there reminded me of the ones surrounding my house.

The forest was the one thing about where I live that I was going to really truly miss when I left for college. If I'm honest I don't want to go so far away. I'm only agreeing to it all because its what my parents want and I don't want to disappoint them. I don't think I'll get the grades anyway.

I set off after having a glass of water and picking up the list.

After a few minutes of walking and an almost deadly collision with a gang of spoilt, bratty girls I had reached my destination. I walked towards the brightly lit store looking down at the list and tarmac path I was following. I was not aware of what was going on around me, so I was surprised when I heard my name being called. I recognised the voice instantly.

It was Kim! She was one of the few people I spoke to at school. She was older than I and had her own friends so we only talked in the hallways and at weekends. My family was friends with hers so I had known her for years. Kim was quite pretty with long, straight black hair. She had the longest eyelashes I have ever seen; every girl was envious of them.

I started to think about how recently Kim's parents were beginning to worry about her relationship with Jared. I can never understand why they worry so much though. I can't help think that maybe they're listening to rumours now too. They are always warning Kim about Jared. Quite a number of times now I've sat in on their lectures about how she and Jared were too serious, that she would get her heart broken.

I can never believe just how dumb and blind Kim's parents are. It's a billion percent obvious that Jared loves Kim! You can see how much he adores her just by the way he looks at her. The way he protects her shows he loves her aswell. Like the time he saved her from the thief in forks. He also treats her like a princess and he isn't possessive either. Jared is like Kim's boyfriend, bodyguard and best friend.

I waved and smiled thinking about walking over to her. However, I changed my mind when I noticed the people stood with her. Most of the 'cult' excluding Sam, Leah, Jacob and some I didn't know were just a few metres away from me.

They were all talking and laughing except one boy. He looked like the tallest of the group present. He was staring at me with his mouth wide open, like I was special. He looked like he was about to drop to his knees and begin worshipping me. I looked around to see if anyone was behind me. His girlfriend maybe? No one was there. I carried on walking towards the store wishing I had some kind of teleportation device. I really wanted to be inside with a basket for the items on my list now.

I turned my head and looked back at the group. I noticed everyone with him were smiling proudly. One boy was patting him on the back and several others were cheering. He was still staring at me frozen with love written all over his face. It worried me that it seemed like he was going to run over to me. Luckily some of the boys were holding him back. I focused my eyes on Kim who looked excited for some reason. What are they congratulating him for all of a sudden? I looked away and opened the door, totally confused.

I was relieved to be inside the store and away from them. None of what I had just seen was making any sense. The only explanation I could think of is that the guys facial expressions were some kind of joke to freak me out. They must have been glad he succeeded so that's why they're celebrating outside. Kim being excited must be about something else or maybe just her being the usual weirdo that she is.

I picked up a basket and got on with my shopping. I tried to concentrate on the list but I couldn't. My explanation was stupid and didn't make sense at all. He was still looking at me when I was about to enter the store. He should have been laughing. Who was he? I didn't know him.

I only knew who Kim, Jared, Seth, Brady, Collin and Quil were outside. I know. Its pretty stupid I live in such a small place yet I can't match as many faces and names like others. Like I said before I don't really go out much and I'm not very talkative either. I only usually talk to my parents, my brother (who is away), a few girls in my year and Kim who is a senior.

I've never been bothered by my lack of a social life. I'm so plain that I feel as if I' am practically invisible. People only seem to notice me if I embarrass myself in front of them. I'm sure there are others who have been like me but somehow they have had more luck. They all now have small groups of loyal companions to help them suffer through school in once piece. Or Hell as I like to call school.

I've tried to make friends like those people but everyone basically just ignores me. I have a few I speak to but were not dead close and they only invite me out every few weeks. I guess I don't have the knack and its too late now. The lower ranked students just keep their heads down. They don't help the outcasts in fear of becoming one too. This just leaves the popular people and I have no chance in hell of becoming friends with those.

So, since I can remember no ones bothered to learn my name so I've never bothered to learn theirs. That's the way its always been and its the way it will stay too. I don't normally mind being alone because I'm used to it. Sometimes I do wish I had some really good friends. Everyone I know have better friends who know more about them and what they like.

I got the last couple of things on my list. Milk, shampoo and some new gardening gloves. I took the basket to the till pleased I had gotten everything needed. The woman, who's name I don't know but should, packed everything in bags for me. I handed her my money and she gave me my change. I thanked her and left.

As I stepped out in to the cool air I looked to see if they were still around. The one who looked at me stood nearer than before. He had two friends with him who seemed deep in conversation. He smiled at me shyly. It was a smile you would give someone you cared about. His feet kept moving forward then back. It looked like awkward dancing. He was deciding whether or not to approach. I blanked him nervously and walked on before he could decide.

I carried the four bags home carefully. I noticed it had started to get dark so I increased the speed I was walking at. I don't like walking around at night especially alone. I looked down and saw there were branches from trees across the pavement. I concentrated on being extra careful not to stand on any. It always made me jump when they snapped.

Halfway home I felt a presence behind. Me being the chicken that I' am, didn't turn around to see who it was. I just tried to quicken my walking pace and prayed it wasn't some crazy murderer.

A large hand suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I screamed nearly dropping the bags as I jumped. I turned and and looked up. Him! The one from just before! I noticed he was shirtless, which was weird. A real six pack at his age? And no shirt at this time of night?

"Shit, why the hell did you creep up on me like that?" I asked the boy.

"Sorry, I was just wondering if you needed help with those bags." he told me guiltily.

Well if he wanted to help me he could of spoken instead of scaring me half to death! I doubt he did want to help. He didn't seem the type to me. He just wanted to scare me so he could laugh about it with his friends at school.

"Do I look like a weak, little old lady?" I asked him. I didn't wait for him to reply, "No, I do not. Next time you want to scare somebody don't pick me. Bye." I quickly told him trying to sound tough.

I increased my speed practically running. I turned my head to see if he was following. Thankfully he was not. I looked at his face and instantly regretted it. He looked as if he had been told it was the end of the world. I began to feel guilty but I stopped myself. If I apologised to him he might try to scare me again. I don't want him thinking he'll get away with it.

I decided to rate him four out of ten. Anyone I rated that low I tried to stay away from and it wasn't usually difficult to do. I continued to walk home at a steady pace. I felt relief as I was almost at my house. I hadn't met any crazy murderers or had another run in with Mr Strange.

When I got home I turned on the lights and carried the shopping in to the kitchen. I found a note on the fridge from my parents. It said:

We will be out tonight so please behave and no parties. If we come home to a trashed house you are grounded forever! Be safe and call the police if anyone suspicious is hanging around outside.
Love mom and dad xxxx

I laughed. I've never been to a party in my life so I wouldn't know how to host one. I haven't got any close friends either. It would be a really wild party with only five people and a tray of juice and biscuits. I've told them before that there is no point lecturing me on typical teenage stuff like staying out late and going to parties. I'm not a typical teen and never will be.

I've only just started high school anyway. I should be a sophomore but I started school a year late and my parents didn't want to cheat me out of a year of school. You would never believe how much I hate them for that sometimes. Yeah, there are some pretty messed up kids who aren't even in high school yet.

However I'm not messed up. Though I'm not normal either. I began to think about what she said about suspicious people. I doubt I'd notice anyone hanging around outside our house. It's not like I look out the windows checking for suspicious people throughout the evening. That's my mom's thing not mine.

I unpacked all the shopping that belonged down stairs and left the rest in one of the bags to take upstairs. I got my purse out and put the change on the counter after I had finished. I'm a good girl and don't pocket it. Maybe that's why I don't have many friends. I'm too good and I don't do anything bad.

I grabbed the change back off of the counter and shoved it in my pocket. I walked up the stairs with the remaining shopping bag feeling guilty and then headed towards my bedroom.

I love my bedroom. It's my own private place and no one but me is allowed to enter. If they did enter with out my permission all hell would break lose. I recently redecorated it. It used to be purple and white. Now its teal, silver and black. They're three of my most favourite colours.

I got to my black bedroom door and I opened it. I flicked on the light and I looked around admiring the room. It wasn't huge and fancy but it was perfect for me. I went to my wardrobe and pulled out some comfy pyjamas.

I changed into the purple top and pants and realised they were getting a bit too small. I'd have to get some new ones soon. I tied my long hair up with a neon green bobble. I hated my long hair and decided I needed to get it cut soon. Maybe when I go shopping for my pyjamas. I looked at my reflection in the full length mirror on my bedroom wall and smiled while taking off my glasses.

I wasn't like most people on the reservation. I had dark brown, wavy hair that always got on my nerves. My eyes light brown and behind purple glasses. My skin was only a little tanned because my mom isn't Quileute. She's from England and met my dad when she was visiting a friend in Forks one summer. Her friend had been trying to persuade her to stay and she gave in when she met my dad.

I felt a bit too warm so I went to the window and opened it. I lived right near the forest and in the day when you could see clearly it was beautiful. At night I found it scary and didn't like to look too long.

My diary and a pen was lying on the floor by the window so I picked it up. I decided to write my entry for today and included that weird boy. What was his name? I also wrote about the rest of my uneventful day too. Seriously, apart from todays entry all of them are practically the same.

I like writing about my day. I don't want to forget anything about my life either. I decided that tomorrow at school I was going to do start doing something different from what I usually do. Maybe a new hobby or maybe I'll find a new place to sit. There is no point living a boring life and if anyone dared read my diary I wouldn't want them to fall asleep.

I thought about all the clubs which weren't many. I'd have to save the hobby thing for when school finally sets up some decent clubs. I usually ate my packed lunch in the library and then stayed there for a bit. It's quiet and away from the students who don't know what a library is and act like wild animals. Maybe I should sit somewhere else for a change. I guess tomorrow I will be eating where most of the most annoying, loud and gossiping students eat.

The cafeteria. I hadn't eaten in one since the incident a few years. I thought back to that awfully embarrassing day.

I looked down at the disgusting slop on my plate. I didn't even know what it was. The smell made me want to vomit. It had been the third time my mom forgot to make my lunch. I vowed to myself silently that I'd get up earlier in the future and make it myself.

I glanced around at the tables filled with other kids shovelling down their dinners. They made the right choice and got to the queue first for the dry looking pizza. I drank my orange juice and decided to skip the food.

It was a beautiful day and I was eager to get outside and find a bench before they're were all taken. I walked to the bins to dispose of the toxic waste I received for dinner. I looked out of the windows on the way getting lost in my thoughts.

All I heard was splat as I walked into a tall, tough looking girl. I remembered that her name was Jenny and wasn't a girl to be messed with. Her shirt was ruined. It was covered in the tray of food she was carrying while texting.

She glared at me when I looked up at her.

"Jenny, I'm so sorry!" I told her mortified, "Lets go to the office and get you a clean shirt."

I came out of that canteen with a painful black eye and her dinner in my hair that afternoon. I apologised everyday but she still kept glaring at me. Jenny was after revenge for the accident and she got it. She tripped me up in front of the whole school.

I got back to my plans for tomorrow. There were some people in my class who I could sit with so I wouldn't be alone. Which is good as people come up to people alone and start questioning them. I was still going to take a packed lunch though. I haven't heard many positive things about the food there. I will save that deadly experiment until I'm comfortable sitting in there.

There was also another reason for sitting in the cafeteria tomorrow. Him. All of a sudden he's looking at me strangely and offering to help me like he knows me. That just isn't right. I needed to know his name and I wanted to know what he was up to. If he even showed up.

I put my diary and pen back on my desk. I didn't have much homework this evening and I was too tired to do any more studying or anything. I got a banana from my school bag and ate it as I got my books out.

I spent an hour or so doing my homework. The homework I had was maths, maths and more maths. I hoped we wouldn't get any more for a while as it was really boring. When I was finally done I yawned and went back down stairs for some food. I left the light on in my bedroom and the one downstairs was on aswell.

I fixed myself a snack of sausage rolls, fruit and milk. I ate it as I read a magazine that was near the microwave. After washing the dishes, I decided it was time for bed. I turned the lights off and went up stairs. I couldn't be bothered brushing my teeth or anything so I went straight to bed.

I set my alarm and turned off the light. I pulled my iPod out from under my pillow and put the earphones in. I decided to listen to it for a bit. I put it on shuffle and skipped a few until I found something with calm pianos and violins, not loud guitars and noisy drums. I closed my eyes and curled up into a ball. I relaxed for a couple of songs.

BANG! I jumped in the air startled. What the hell! I turned the volume down then I looked around my room for the source of the sound. I found it when I noticed the window had flew right open because of the wind. It was cold now and I was shivering as I went to the window to pulled it shut.

I climbed back into bed turned my iPod off and put it on the bedside cabinet. I tried to sleep but I just kept tossing and turning despite being tired.

I was finally drifting off to sleep when I heard wolf howls. Stupid wolves! I made my way back towards the window again. Those wolves really piss me off.

Even though it wouldn't do any good I opened the window and shouted, "Thanks a lot wolves! I was finally falling asleep till you opened your big mouths!"

I closed the window and went to get my diary to write about what had just happened. Then I went to lie back down on my bed. For quite a while now wolves have been howling at night. I would suggest moving to my parents but others who don't even live right next to the woods can hear them. Besides I love my house and I love being able to take long hikes in the forest when the weathers nice. I guess I'll just find something to block my ears with.

I at last began to feel sleepy and yawned. Before I closed my eyes I started to get a weird feeling inside. A feeling that I wasn't sure was a good or bad one. I felt uneasy but expectant. Something was going to change. For once I was going to fill up more than one page in my diary.

A/N: I promise the story gets better. I know this chapter isn't the most exciting. Please review and tell me what you think. It means a lot to me. Chapter 2 will be up by Monday. P.S Let me know if you know any good fan fiction to read as I'm off school till September so I need lots to read! Thanks.
