Chapter 2: The News Hits Seattle

Bella Swan-Cullen sits at her desk, looking at the website for the Seattle Times, speechless at what she sees on the homepage.

Seattle Times Taken Over by HPG, owner of the New York Times

The Seattle Times and HPG announce the purchase of the Seattle Times by HPG,

owned by Mitchum Huntzburger and his family. HPG is also the owner of the New York

Times.

HPG is replacing the CEO and the Editor-in-Chief of the Seattle Times with Logan Huntzburger and Lorelei Leigh Gilmore-Hayden-Huntzburger. Mr. Huntzburger is also the Vice President of HPG, also known as Huntzburger Publishing Group. Mrs. Huntzburger is also the heiress to both the Gilmore and the Hayden multi-billion dollar insurance conglomerates, and is Chief Executive of Media and Public Relations with HPG, and contributes several weekly articles and columns for the New York Times and other national publlications.

Mr. and Mrs. Huntzburger will arrive in Seattle next Monday and are planning to add some new elements to the Seattle Times. Most will be centered to the youth of Seattle, and the ever-growing and expanding coffee empire that is in Seattle. One other group of elements will be dealing with the newfound and easily accepted vampire and werewolf element that is in Seattle.

They will be taking applications and writing samples from people interested in applying for any of the positions through next Friday. Please fill out the online application on this site and submit a quality sample of your writing for them to consider.

Bella closes down the website, then reaches for her phone to call Edward, her husband and soulmate through all eternity.

E: Hello, darling.

B: Hello to you too, sweetheart.

E: What do I own this highly welcomed interruption to my day?

B: Have you seen the Seattle Times website? They are being bought out by HPG, and bringing in

new CEO and Editor-in-Chief. They are also going to add some new sections to the paper, bringing in youth sections, a coffee-themed section, and they also want to have a section geared towards vampires and werewolves.

E: That sounds really cool, but none of us are writers. Plus I think we should talk it over with the rest of the family before we decide about it.

B: You're right about that, Edward. We'll talk more about it when you all get home.

E: We shouldn't be too long, Carlyle and Esme' are almost done with patients. Alice and Rosalee are closing up the shop early, and Emmet and Jasper just got through with the last test run of their new RPG.

B: OK. Reneesme' is waking up now, so I should go. Love you.

E: Love you both longer than eternity.

Bella hits the END button on her phone, then puts it down to get their daughter out of the playpen that she naps in. When she gets to the side of the playpen, Reneesme' reaches up to her and says "Up Mama, please." Bella smiles as she picks up Reneesmee' and goes over to the couch to change her diaper and give her some milk. While she's feeding Reneesmee', she thinks again about the article on the Seattle Times website, wondering if it would be a good idea or not.
