And here is the first chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 1

I packed the last t-shirt in my suitcase. Closed it. Let it rest on my bed for a moment while I had a look around in my room. My room was empty by now. All the packed boxes were put in my pick up truck. I had packed all my clothes in two suitcases.

All the posters were ripped off from my wall, including the pictures. I had thrown them all away. The only picture I brought with me was one of my family. Michael, mom and dad were the only people I wanted to remember. Just them, no one else. Not the pack who lied about what really happened when Nathan died. Not the chief who had banished me from my own home.

Nor the town who voted for my exile. I didn't even want to remember my ex, Blake.

I let out a deep shaky breath. This would be the last time I was standing in my own room. I gave one last look out of my window. I was really going to miss the view. The forest was so beautiful. It always made me calm just by looking at it.

"You ready?" I heard my mom softly ask when she entered my room. I turned around. Looked at her. She looked tired, hurt, sad. Her and dad have been trying to change the Chief's mind these past few days, but with no luck.

Yesterday he even threatened to banish them too if they continued bothering him about the subject. At least they tried. Michael had been in a few fights with Blake ever since. Michael is his beta, but from what I have heard from Kevin (the only pack member I still am in touch with) is that the fights always almost ended up in a fight about the alpha position. Michael always knew to prevent it from happening, but I know that one day he won't be able to stop himself and challenge Blake to an alpha fight.

"I am." I muttered after a short while. Looked around in my room for one more time. Grabbed my suitcases and then walked out of it. Never looked back to the bedroom that I have been able to call my bedroom since the day I was born.

Mom followed me downstairs where Michael, dad and Kevin were waiting for me.

"Everything is ready for you." Dad said softly when he handed me the keys. Michael took over one of my suitcases for me while I grabbed my handbag from the coat rack.

We all walked outside. I lifted my suitcase in to the back of my pick up truck. Michael followed with my other suitcase. Then I turned around. Faced my family and one friend. It was time to say goodbye. Hopefully not for good. I was still going to stay in touch with them, but it was unknown when we would see each other again.

Dad walked up to me. Wrapped me in to a hug.

"Say hi to your gran for me, okay?" I nodded. He made it sound like I was just going to be away for a short time. That I was going to visit my grandma for the holidays, but that was not the case. I was going to live with her. For as long as needed.

"Just take care. Call us when you get there." Mom muttered when dad stepped back and it was her turn to pull me in to a hug. I held her tight. My mom was always there for me and I was really going to miss her.

When we let go Michael stepped forward.

"Don't do anything stupid." I muttered to him when we hugged each other. Referring to the fights he had with Blake. Michael held me close.

"I wasn't planning on doing so.' He reassured me, but somehow, something in my gut told me that something was about to happen here. While I was away. I didn't want to think about it though.

"Call me when you have arrived at grandma's?" he said when we let go. I nodded. That is when Kevin walked up towards me.

"Keep an eye out on Michael, please?" I asked him quietly. Kevin nodded. "I will Luna. Don't worry too much about him. If something happens I'll be there to help him out." That is when I hugged him.

"Thank you." I whispered and let him go. Reluctantly. Letting Kevin meant I had to get in my Pick up Truck. Drive away from Langundo Reservation for good.

"Take care of yourself." Kevin whispered to me when he stepped back. Joined my family. I gave my family one last look, got in to my pick up truck, started it's engine and than drove away.

The closer I got to the border the harder it got to drive for me. I tried not to cry, not to let the tears fall, but I couldn't help myself. They just fell down.

A strange feeling went through my body. The connection I had once felt with this pack, was slowly lost. The cord between us disappeared. As I crossed the border the connection disappeared completely. I heard a few howls. They felt it too. I knew it. I on the other hand felt alone. Scared. Uncomfortable.

If a vampire attacked me right now I would be dead. No one would come to help me. I wanted to park my car, to have a few moments of rest, but that would not be a wise choice.

I had to continue, for my own safety. So I did. I drove for two hours. After two hours of driving I stopped at a gas station for some gas, food and to get something to drink.

That is when I went on the road again. I didn't want to stay in one place for too long. Not now I was alone.

Two more hours to go before I arrived at my grandma's place.

After a four hours drive I finally arrived at my grandma's place in Forks.

I parked my car in her driveway and look up at the small two stories house. I have been here in the past, but not much. Mom somehow was always reluctant to bring us to Forks. To let us stay with grandma.

Michael and I had never met our grandpa. He sadly had passed shortly before Michael was born. We are however very grateful for grandma. The few times we did visit her we always did fun stuff.

Gran took us to the beach in La Push, took us to the cinema, let us have pillow fights. I smiled at the memories. They were happy, fun memories. Memories of when our lives were still normal.

Who knew that years later we would be in this mess?

That is when I saw grandma standing in the front door. She must have heard the car. Started to wonder where I was when I wouldn't ring the doorbell. I smiled softly at her when I shut off the engine and got out of the car.

"Oh Luna." She muttered when she walked towards me. She wrapped her arms around me and I hugged her tightly.

"Come on. Let's get you inside. We will grab your stuff later." She said after a few moments. All I could do was nod. Follow her inside. The house gave me a warm welcome feeling. The wooden walls, the pictures on the walls.. The plants she had everywhere.

The atmosphere. The energy. It felt so warm. It felt like coming home.
