Chapter One – My New Chaotic Life
Disclaimer – I don't own Twilight or any of it's characters. Wish I did, though :D
I climbed out of the jet black truck's driver seat, pulling the keys out of the ignition. Courtney, my Aunt Elizabeth's daughter, my cousin, jumped out after me, her sandy blonde hair bouncing as she moved.
We strode up to the big white house that belonged to Courtney's mother, my aunt Elizabeth. Its big glass doors glared down at us from the top of the porch. I took in the bright roses and tulips growing in bushes on the sides of the house, as I unlocked the double doors.
Aunt Elizabeth told us she wouldn't be at home when we arrived. I never expected her house to be so bright and cheery. The living room was lined with sky-blue furniture and florescent paintings. I felt at home in the safe and lovely house.
My legs quivered as I staggered up the stairs to my room. The walls and bedspread were a deep blue hue, or the color of the ocean. The ocean was the place that I felt most at peace.
When I was done unpacking and familiarizing my room, I crept to Courtney's purple stained room. Everything was purple; from her ceiling to her floor.
Courtney was in the corner, setting up pictures on her dresser. As I gazed at the pictures, I recognized pictures of us from when we were children growing up together.
On the same dresser, I recognized the picture of the strawberry-blonde-colored wolf she had been taking pictures of. Me. The pictures were of me in my more hideous form, as I thought it, although I couldn't even recognize myself beneath the reddish fur and green pools that were my eyes.
But, I wouldn't think about that now.
"Need any help putting stuff up?" I asked, gazing around Courtney's cluttered room. She never had been a very organized person.
"Sure. Can you help me put up some clothes?" she asked as she nodded toward her empty closet.
"Yeah, looks like you need some help," I said rolling my eyes.
When we were done perfecting Courtney's room, I walked down to the kitchen, and found my school supplies for the next day.
I would be joining Fork's High School. 'Great', I thought sarcastically.
These kids were supposed to know a lot about my condition, considering it had happened to some of them, too. At least I hoped they knew a lot. I needed a lot of my questions answered. They were just raging around in my head, making me more and more curious about them, though I hated the fact I was a monster.
"You know you're not a monster. You're a perfect, normal, beautiful teenager just like everyone else around here," Courtney tried to comfort me. I could see her tears streaming down her pink cheeks. I wanted to cry with her and let my true emotions show, but I had to keep my feelings on a tight rein inside my head.
I wrapped her in a huge embrace; not like the one's you get from a mother trying desperately to comfort her child, but one from an equal who is suffering with you.
"It'll be alright. I know how you feel…scared, unsure, and unprepared," I sobbed into her hair.
"But, I'll be here. I'm not leaving you, ever." I added.
I went to sleep that night re-thinking every moment of the day that was now behind me.
