Sorry about the gap in updates, I'm writing this from my school and homework [ugh!. But that's still no excuse enjoy, here's were I introduce the main female character in the story, and I tie Jacob Black in as well.

A sixteen-year-old teenager with golden-brown hair and blue eyes opened the door to an old house. A light-blue sweater with white edges was over a white t-shirt, her blue jeans went down to her ankles where a pair of white high-heels raised her up a half-an-inch from her five-foot-seven height. She sighed; her eyes raised to the sky overhead, a cloudy-blue as always. It was almost the end of summer, the time of year she loved.

Then she turned back to the house and called, "dad, I'm home."

A dark-haired man almost fell out of a nearby couch when she called, she could help but laugh. This was her father; actually he was old enough to be her grandfather, Charlie Swan, chief of Forks, Washington police.

"Ashley," he called as he hugged her tightly. Ashley knew how hard he was taking it, his retirement was coming up and he still was not over his first daughter, with his first wife, Isabella, or as most people called her Bella, Swan.

Eighteen years ago, a few days after her marriage with Edward Cullen she and Charlie got into a huge fight. Bella had never been seen or heard from again. Ashley had never seen Bella, or the fight, but from what she heard; words went flying, things got broken and she left the house with Edward right behind her.

Ashley had only seen photos of Bella, Edward and Charlie's first wife Renee but her own mother, Victoria Dallas died a few days after Ashley was born, a victim in a horrible string of murders, Ashley had never met her either.

Just then the phone rang and Ashley's father went to get it. Ashley put down her shopping bags and went to make dinner, her father was a horrible cook, but at least Bella had left her the only other room in the house, and a great father.

However since Bella and Edward her father had been a bit protective and always dragged her over to the La Push ranch. When I five the trips started every single summer.

"You're kidding me," her father said into the phone, Ashley just had to listen in. "Well Jacob, call me when you get more info I haven't seen them in quite a while." Ashley sensed things were about to go from bad to worse so she started getting fish, and salad ingredients out of the fridge and freeze and ran the fish under warm water.

"No Jacob," her father said again. "I told your father the same thing I'm telling you, monsters only exist in stories. Now, keep tabs on them and tell me if she's with them."

Ashley knew that she meant Bella, and Bella meant tears and fights. But Ashley couldn't resist wishing to meet Bella and the rest of the Cullens. "Jacob of course you can come over but as long as you behave."

Ashley finished with the salad quickly and got the fish from out of the warm water as her father set down the phone with a goodbye. Charlie then turned to Ashley saying, "Jacob is coming over."

Ashley fought down the urge to complain and went back to preparing the fish and setting the salad and dishes on the table. Just then the phone rang and Charlie didn't pick it up only to say, "It's probably Jacob again, I'm not going to deal with him right now."

Then the message came on and a dark and menacing voice came on the speaker. "This is Vincent Angle Cullen; I know you're there Charlie Swan. You said some pretty horrible things to my mother, Isabella. I can't wait to meet you and Ashley soon."

Charlie got up but right as he picked up the phone the message stopped and the automatic voice came on. Charlie replayed the message, but this time turned up the volume up and under the voice of Vincent, Ashley could hear a second voice, but not very well.

Just then Jacob Black came through the door, wearing the same kind of dark suit with a white shirt, and had his hair shortened and spiked. By his face he must had heard the message, after a brief hello he strode over the answering machine and turned up the volume by two notches.

Ashley put the fish in the oven and turned back to the two men. Jacob came by fast.

Ashley this time could hear the voice more clearly, the second voice was almost as dark as Vincent's and said, "Vince put the phone down, put it down or I get Carlisle!"

Jacob turned the volume down and turned the machine off stating, "Bella's here too." Ashley looked at him and said, "Are you sure?"

Jacob nodded, "wherever Edward is Bella isn't that far away." Ashley remembered the voice as Jacob continued, "That was Edward Cullen, your brother-in-law, I bet he hasn't changed a day."

Jacob looked at Charlie. "I've been able to find out more information about Edward over the years. His real name was Edward Anthony Masen, born to Edward and Elizabeth Masen. I couldn't locate his parent but he was born in Chicago, Illinois. When he was adopted by Carlisle Cullen he then went to various places like Wisconsin, Rochester, New York, Tennessee, Houston, and Biloxi, Mississippi before going to Anchorage, Alaska, and then stopping at our little town of Forks."

Charlie picked up the file and went through it, Jacob looked around. Ashley was wondering about Jacob's son, Drake. Drake was almost Jacob's mirror image, with the same color of hair, eyes and skin but the both dressed differently.

Jacob turned to Charlie, "Charlie, we all know what school they'll be attending, Forks High."

Ashley tried to image meeting the kid who had left the dark message on her answering machine, but something told her that something was wrong about this. Something that told her that a battle was about to begin.
