Thank you so much for the positive reviews, it's helping me build my confidence as a writer. Stephanie meyer owns twilight i just own the plot.

I will be trying to post new chapters every few days maybe every week, I have a very complex medical background so sometimes I struggle having the time.

Chapter 1: Introduction

So here I was at the age of 17 sat next to my father Chief Swan on our way back to our family home. I'd been away for the past 6 months with Charlie's brother, my uncle Garrett swan, you see he was highly trained in MMA (mixed martial arts) and was also what's called a mercenary.

I went to live with him so I could learn how too defend myself after a traumatic experience in Port Angeles. I don't want to go into the details but I was almost raped and if it wasn't for the noise that a pedestrian made walking down the street I wouldn't have gotten away, and from that moment on I decided I was never going to feel that vulnerable again. So I begged Charlie to let me go to Garrett so I could be trained and after begging and moaning for weeks he finally said yes.

As we pulled into Forks I sighed, I missed the heat of Arizona where I'd been for the past 6 months. I certainly did not miss the wet or the green, seriously it was like everywhere I looked there was mushy green stuff.

As we were driving through town I groaned as I could see everyone looking at the cruiser, the cover story for why I left town was I had been having difficulties and my parents had decided to send me to live with some distant aunt to sort my head out, obviously that's not true but it's easier to let them believe I was some troubled teenage girl than to explain the truth.

"Good to be home ehh Bella?" Charlie chuckled, knowing just how much I hated to be the centre of attention.

"Yeah, sure dad I just can't wait to see what reasons they've come up with for my absence" I sarcastically replied giving him a small glare.

"Well I've heard a few at the station such as you was pregnant to some one night stand and you travelled to have an abortion or my personal favourite was you had been sent to a foster home because your mother and I couldn't cope with having a stroppy teenage girl at home" Charlie smiled looking amused.

"I am not stroppy, who told you this I'll shoot them myself" I muttered the last part quietly knowing Charlie didn't agree with what I had been learning. He believed it was his job to look after his little girl, and whilst I agreed it was a daddies job to protect his daughter I also wanted to feel safe after the Port Angeles incident and I couldn't expect Charlie to follow me around every day, so I took matters into my own hands and learnt for myself.

Charlie shook his head whilst pulling into the driveway. As I was unbuckling my belt I held a light tap at the window and turned to see my burly brother grinning at me.

"Ben!" I cried jumping out of the cruiser and wrapping my arms around his neck. I was so happy to see him, I'd missed him dearly whilst being away.

"Belly bear" he cried equally as enthusiastic whilst wrapping his arms around my waist and spinning me around.

He set me back on my feet and I stumbled a bit from being so dizzy. Ben grabbed my arm to steady me whilst laughing hysterically.

"You would think with all the training you had you would have mastered balance, apparently not" he shook his head in mock disappointment.

"Oh bite me" I replied shoving him out of the way as I started heading towards the house, Charlie had grabbed my suitcase for me whilst me and Ben reunited.

I walked into the living room of my family home and I had to admit I had missed it a little bit. The coziness of the living room was comforting and smelled of lemons just how I'd remembered it, the light grey sofa was still where it was when I left and my dads ugly overused black armchair was exactly the same as I remembered.

"Bella!" My mum screamed whilst charging at me. She tackled me into a crushing embrace before I even had chance to reply.

"Mum" I gasped unable to breathe, seriously did this woman have some brute strength that I didn't know about.

"Oh sorry sweetie" she grinned sheepishly. "Why don't you take your things upstairs and unpack, Angela has been on the phone for you and asked if I'd let you know she's going to the diner at 8:00 with Eric mike and Jess if you wanted to catch up, she said she missed you"

"Great mum, I'll head up now and unpack my things then I'll head out to meet them" I didn't wait for a reply I just grabbed my bag and started tugging it up the stairs. I really had missed Angela and it would be nice to catch up I however was not looking forward to sitting with mike and his lustful glances or Jessica and her bitchiness.

I walked into my room and looked around it was the same as I left it. My bed was on the far wall with a deep purple duvet and fleece throw. My bedside table had my tattered copy of Romeo and Juliet and my deep purple lampshade set on top. Just opposite my bed there was a desk which housed my old style computer and to the right of there was my dresser.

It was a fairly average sized room and it took me no time at all to unpack. I folded my last pair of gym pants and put them in my dresser before grabbing my back pack and heading downstairs.

"Bye mum dad I'll see you later I'll only be an hour or two" I yelled and was met with bye Bella not to late okay before I headed out.

My deep red truck was still in the drive where I left it and I jumped in and stroked the steering wheel affectionately. This truck was my baby and I loved it, yes it was a little old but that didn't bother me. I turned the key and the engine roared to life, I backed out the drive and started gunning it at 40MPH towards the diner.

I jumped out and started heading inside, I hadn't even made it 5 feet before I heard a deep voice.

"Hey baby what's a man got to do to get me some digits" I ignored the rather husky voice assuming he was talking to someone else.

"Don't be like that baby I just wanted to talk to you" came the same voice only this time he blocked my path with his rather large body.

I stared up into the eyes of the man who had stopped me and appeared bored whilst I was getting ready to engage with this overgrown moron. He had to be 6ft 4 easy with around 280 pounds of meat on him. He had tan skin and brown eyes with short cropped hair.

"Why don't you go and find another girl to harass this ones busy" I replied tensely whilst trying to side step him, he followed my move in sync and chuckled deeply.

"Now why would I do that I quite like your company" the fool laughed whilst reaching out and trying to grab my wrist. Bad move before he even had chance to blink I grabbed his wrist and spun him round with his arm pressed painfully into his back.

"It just so happens I don't like your company so leave me the hell alone or I'll break this arm" I hissed whilst twisting the slightest bit more just to prove I wasn't messing around. The man hissed in pain and before he could say anything else I heard a smooth velvet voice.

"Not that I don't love the sight of a beautiful woman handling herself, I would appreciate it if you'd let me man go" I looked into the emerald eyes of a Greek god. He was indescribable just utter perfection.

"Next time keep your man on a leash" I replied harshly as I stalked past him and headed into the diner.

"Who are you?" Green eyes asked.

"I'm Bella swan" I don't actually know why I told him, something just told me he wouldn't hurt me.

"Nice to meet you Bella I'm Edward" he smirked at me as he winked at me and jumped into his car before speeding away.

I hadn't realised I'd been holding my breathe until I turned around. Green eyes was mega hot and I had a funny feeling I would be seeing a lot more of him and damn it I wanted to see all of him.

Okay so that's the intro I hope you like it. Any reviews or tips would be appreciated.
