Let's all give a big round of applause to my new Beta…sisterofsix!!!!! She is completely awesome…no matter how bad my work is…-'
ON WITH THE FICTION!
Disclaimer-I do not own Twilight, I wish I didn't have to admit that every time…any whose, I do, however, own two characters!!!!! Oh wait no…THREE!
When we got there I handed him a hundred dollar bill and told him to keep whatever was left of the money. He gave me a huge smile and thanked me then pulled away. Obviously, by the speed he drove away, he wasn't going to wait for me to change my mind.
I walked into the unfamiliar building and found the real estate lady. It was actually pretty easy, I just looked for the most colorfully dressed woman with a toothpaste add smile on her face. Easy as picking black from white to tell you the truth.
"Can you help me? I'm looking for a single bedroom house that is a little out of town?" I was weird when I got specific, but that was the best I had come up with in the time I had considered where to live. I mean I didn't want people stopping in on me every five minutes and I also still wanted to actually live near the school.
"Sure." She gave me a cheesy smile though she seemed uncomfortable. I would have been too if someone had randomly popped in and decided to ask you to find something specific to buy…well I guess that's how I would put it.
She led me to a book labeled 'Small houses'. She opened to a section that said one bedroom then flipped a few pages. I saw quite a few that I would have liked but she didn't bother to show me.
"Ah, this one looks about right for you." She said pointing to an old Victorian style house with forest surrounding it.
"That's perfect! How much is it?" I had a feeling that my dad's savings weren't infinite but they could probably go to about 200,000…it was his life savings after all. I felt a little guilty all of a sudden.
"It's $98,000." I handed her the credit card and she slid it through the card reader. I signed for it, easily forging my dad's signature. "Here are the directions." She handed me a small map that cheesy smile still plastered to her face.
"Thank you. Oh I almost forgot do I have any neighbors?" I wanted to know if I would need to be cautious about my hunting…if I did any near home.
"Uh…let me check." She quickly walked to the small computer in the back of the room. She typed in a few keys and then said. "It seems that the closest neighbors will be the Cullens they have six kids about your age." That was one problem with small towns like these; everyone knows everything about everyone else.
Once outside of the small building I unfolded the map. There was a road highlighted in bright pink, who would have thought, high lighter that lead to a small house next to a larger section that I guessed to be the Cullen's house. I didn't get much land with the house but I would live with what I got.
I still remembered were most things were in Forks so I decided that I should go to the car dealership and buy a car seeing as there was no way that I was going to walk all the way from my new house to the High school. Though I could probably make it there in time, with my new speed. Then again I could always ask the Cullens for a ride. Of course there was no real chance of that seeing as it would be awkward enough going to school as a vampire.
The walk to Tom and Eddy's car dealership was cool and refreshing, and really short, much shorter than I remembered. The dealership was empty when I got there and it was filled with old cars that were normally already used.
I set my eyes on a silver used ford escort that would have been new in the early 1990's. No, I'm not car obsessed; I just know my old cars. When you grow up in a town where there are only really old cars and used cars you learn which ones are better.
"Can I help you miss?" One of the car salesmen asked from a few inches behind me. How had I not heard him? I could hear the people talking in the building but I hadn't heard him…what the heck?
I turned around startled and nearly fell over the car tires piled behind me. I caught myself and looked back at the salesman my face turning tomato red with embarrassment. He smiled warmly at me as if nothing had happened.
I must note something strange here. When ever my dad had talked about vampires he had always said they were graceful, which I obviously was not, and he had said they didn't have any blood in them, well other than the blood they drank, but I had just blushed.
"Uh…yes, how much is this car?"
"Well let me check that for you, I'll be right back." He smiled again and walked unwillingly to the large man sitting under a tarp in front of a desk, he was eating a Twinkie lazily while watching T.V. I heard him ask about the car though he was much farther away than my normal hearing range.
The young salesman returned smiling from ear to ear. It seemed like the big man had told him that world peace had finally come and he was going to rule the new world. Which, since I hadn't seen any big news on the subject, I doubted…intensely so.
"It's $560." He said happily as if it were the best thing in the world to say. Still making it look like world peace was evidently happening.
"Thank you, um…is there any paper work for the car?"
"Not if you don't want there to be, not today." I shoved six hundreds in his hand and told him thank you again. "Are you sure there isn't anything else I can get you?" He asked his voice filled with implications.
"No thanks, well actually do you know where the nearest furniture store would be?"
"The nearest one is in Port Angeles, I think."
"Oh, well thanks again." I said climbing into the small car. I was quickly driving down the high way only seconds later the map taped to the dashboard next to me. I followed it with my eyes, comparing it to the road in front of me.
I didn't have any trouble finding the first couple of turnoffs but soon I had the map in my hands, I slowed the car and started to double check which way I was going, I had never been very good with directions. It took me a while but eventually I found it. The driveway to my house was rough and filled with ferns.
When I actually got into the house I was delighted to see that the last residences of the house had not taken their furniture. In the living room was a comfy beat-up sofa, two armchairs and a large T.V. to the right was a small wooden staircase. In the kitchen there was an empty fridge, an oven, a few wooden cabinets, and a long line of hard topped counters only interrupted by a sink, a small wooden table, and chairs. Up the stairs was a small bathroom, a bed room with a computer in it, and a very small office. All the rooms upstairs had all the items needed in those rooms too.
The house looked like it had been moved out of quickly and recently…that should have been a bad sign shouldn't it? I couldn't understand what could have caused them to move out so quickly though, it seemed nice enough to me. Though I was happy that they had, it had saved me the trouble of having to buy furniture at least.
Sorry, I know that was probably short, or was it? Anyway, I hope you liked it. I have a lot typed that just needs to be edited so I should have more really soon!
BYE!
