Chapter 1: Last Day

Nessie's POV

"Nessie wake up!"

I groaned. "Go away," I muttered into my pillow. All I wanted to do was sleep. Why couldn't my annoying younger brother understand that?

"Nope. Can't do that. You're my ride to school and I for one don't want to be late for my last day of right before Christmas break,"

"Can't you just leave me alone Nick?"

"Not until you get out of bed. What were you doing up so late last night anyway?"

Good God I guess sleeping in and missing school, thus starting Christmas break a day early, was entirely out of the question now. "I was reading all the reviews people were leaving on my story that's what I was doing,"

"Oh you mean the one about the vampires?"

"Yes," I said through gritted teeth. "That's literally the only story I have ever published online. What else could it be?"

"Jesus aren't you a little moody today,"

"Well that tends to happen when one is rudely awoken by annoying little brothers! Now can you please leave so that I can get ready for school?"

Once Nick left I closed the door and turned on my laptop. Twilight originally started as a creative writing assignment back in October. I'd written five chapters and submitted them to my English teacher for grading. She'd loved what I had written so much that she encouraged me to finish the story. I'd fallen in love with my characters also and knew that Edward's and Bella's story was far from over.

So I spent the next several weeks finishing the story that I called 'Twilight' and decided to publish the story online for people to read for free. I created my own website and posted the story on there. I was a bit nervous at first but once I started receiving positive feedback I felt more at ease. People started asking me if I planned on writing a sequel. In response to the question I posted on website that a sequel titled 'New Moon' was currently in the works.

It wasn't just the story itself that I posted on the website. But I wrote biographies about all of the characters in my stories. Bella, Edward, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Jacob, Charlie, and even characters that I wouldn't introduce until the next story such as the entire wolf pack, every member of the Volturi, and every member of the Volturi guard.

The website's popularity exploded much to my surprise. I received mostly positive feedback which encouraged me to keep writing. I shut off my laptop after a few minutes of reading what others had to say. I could be here all day but I really did need to get to school.

"About time," my brother said when I came downstairs to eat.

I bit my tongue before I could snap at him again. I poured myself a bowl of cereal and a grabbed the orange juice. Since mom and dad left early to go work their respective shifts at the hospital it was just Nick and I. If you looked at us you'd never guess we were brother and sister. He had brown hair, green eyes, and his skin had a permanent tan. Meanwhile I had bronze curly hair, brown eyes, and an unusually pale complexion that no doctor could ever figure out the cause of. The truth is that we weren't related by blood. Both of us had been adopted at the exact same time. I was five years old at the time and I can't really remember my family before then. My brother was younger than me by a year so his memory was even worse than mine.

So even though none of us were biologically related to one another we were still a family and that was all that really mattered. Even Nick annoyed the hell out of me sometimes I still loved him. "Holy shit we're running late!" he suddenly yelled. I looked at my watch and saw that we were running ten minutes later than usual. Now I felt slightly bad for spending several minutes on my laptop.

"Don't worry we'll get there in time,"

"I won't even complain about your maniac driving today,"

"Oh shut up Nick my driving is not that bad?"

"Not that bad? You go like twice the legal speed limit!"

"So I like driving fast. What's the big deal?"

He rolled his eyes at me. Okay so maybe I liked driving fast. I didn't see a problem with that. Twice the legal limit was a bit of an over exaggeration though. But thanks to my so-called 'maniac driving' we got to school just in time.

The day at school went by fast. It was fun because none of the teachers felt like teaching anything on the last day of school. So they'd just tell us what work we needed to complete over the break and then after that we'd watch a movie and eat a lot of good snacks. I would talk to my friends whenever I got the chance. I was about to walk out of the door of my sixth period English class when my teacher Mrs. Anderson said "Nessie can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure," I was very confused. Had I done something wrong? "What's wrong?"

"Why did you take down your website? I was going to read more chapters of your story at lunch time but your website wasn't there anymore. Why'd you take it down?"

I was extremely confused. "I didn't take it down. I don't understand what you're talking about,"

"What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about? You took your website down. It's quite a shame because I was really enjoying Twilight,"

"It must be a computer glitch. Because I can assure you that I didn't take it down,"

"Well I hope that it's up and running again soon. Anyway have a good break Nessie,"

"You to Mrs. Anderson,"

Huh. That was weird. Because of my conversation with Mrs. Nelson I was running a few minutes later. My brother was already waiting for me when I got to my car. I didn't give my website another thought until I got home. I turned on my laptop and punched in the web address.

website not found.

Huh? That was weird. I typed it in again and the same thing happened. My website was gone. But why? I shook my head. I could redo the website and re-upload the story. I looked through my documents and couldn't find Twilight or the rough draft for New Moon anywhere. It wasn't on my hard drive or my flash drive. I'd saved both on both my hard drive and my flash drive and now they were gone. There was something else missing also. My photos that I had saved on my computer. I had pictures of me with my parents and brother and they were now gone.

Holy shit. Somebody had hacked into my laptop. But who would want to hack into my computer? Why would they remove my website and wipe the drafts for my stories off of my laptop. It didn't make any sense. Why would they want my pictures also? Was someone tracing my laptop right at this very moment?
