Alrighty! I'm trying to update faster but it's been hard putting all the words down into a story when it's all in my head. I'm trying not to post too frequently because I'm scared I'm going to change my mind later. But so far, the beginning chapters are set.

1999 – Fireside Elementary School
Bella was an average 9-year-old who was shy and timid around her classmates. She kept to herself and rarely spoke outloud. Her closest and only friend was Angelica Raven. Angelica was the opposite from Bella. While Bella had brown hair and brown eyes, Angelica had golden blonde hair with green eyes. She was always friendly to others and never let others bully others. She was well liked and well mannered. She was never bratty towards anyone and was kind to many. The two of them were thick as thieves and spent their summers together always searching for a new adventure. Angelica was always jealous of the beautiful redhead who visits every year and had presents from all over the world. However, because of the tight friendship between Bella and Angelica, there were presents for her as well.
Angelica was an only child in an divorced family but didn't let that determine her path. She was open minded to others and was finding joy every single day, not letting a day go to waste.
It was a tragedy when she went missing.
Summer of 1999 on July 25 was a terrible day for the Raven and Dywer family.
Bella was hospitalized while Angelica was taken. Bella tried to tell authorities that it was a man who had silver blonde hair with black eyes. He looked like a snake and his voice was like magic. He lured Angelica across the playground and when Bella tried to intervene, his eyes turned red. She was thrown back from his reach and when she looked back, Angelica was gone.
Of course no one believed the words of a 9 year old who was deemed by the doctors that she had a mild concussion when she fell.
She cried that entire year and had tried to get anyone to listen.
Bella was sent to therapy after therapy to help her and her fear spiked when she thought she saw the same man 6 months later.
The therapist was unsure of what to do to the poor 10 year-old who suffered a tragic loss. Her mom was afraid of what this meant and if it was starting, but was unsure if it was a human or a supernatural.
It wasn't until March of 2000 that the town finally believed Bella's words.
But it was too late.

MISSING PEOPLE
Bella Dywer- Age 10. Taken from the local downtown coffee shop while her mother was meeting with local therapist Andy Garcia about her PTSD. Related to the case of Angelica Raven from 9 months past (more on page 8). Police has no comment.
Any information, contact xxx-xxx-xxxx.
She was taken by the same man. Report after report from the townspeople compiled together to corresponds to Bella's testimony 9 months past and no one took her seriously when she said she saw that same man 3 months ago.
Renee Dwyer immediately divorced her husband that she loved when Bella turned 5, and reclaimed her last name and to give her daughter to be safe growing up without the last name "Swan". Meeting Victoria, as nice as she was to Bella, opened up the Swan's resident's eyes of the beginning and thus the parents of Bella divorced and Charlie moved away to an unknown town named Forks where he made a name to himself. He kept quiet of his daughter and rarely spoke of her, those at his work place assumed the worst and never questioned it.
Renee did what she can as a single mother who desperately wanted her family together and whole, but also wanting a safe environment for her only daughter. It was difficult financially and she had to work long shifts while she relied on the Raven family to take care of Bella. It was unfortunate circumstances that Renee had to embrace if she was to support the two of them.
The day when Angelica was taken, Renee didn't know what to do. Victoria was gone on research for Bella, which is going to be beneficial later on, Charlie is on assignment about a cartel in Washington and was not allowed outside communications for another 10 months. Renee cried and looked over her shoulder for 5 months until she felt that it was safe for Bella. She never knew if it was the supernatural connection or if it was just a regular human kidnapping. However, since 5 months passed and nothing occurred, she thought she was safe.
Oh if she only kept being vigilant.
When a small time of 2 weeks past, Bella was taken.
Renee fell into a stump. She dug up the emergency phone to Italy and reached out. Unfortunately, no one picked up. The Dyerian family in Italy were preoccupied with a furry situation and was unable to answer the phone from their descendant. After no answer from Victoria, Renee assume she died or was occupied with the research. Renee didn't know what to do at this point. She was just a human from a long line of descendants in Italy with no true power to her name. She couldn't commandeer the task force because Charlie was gone and so was his identity during this time to protect his loved ones. She was truly and helplessly useless and lost her faith.
Every day for four years, she lost hope and lost the passion to find her daughter, believing she is dead. It wasn't until Victoria called back when Renee felt a small spark of hope.
Soon after, Italy called back.
Fast Forward 5 years
Unknown POV
It's been a bittersweet day when the return of one was found. During the abduction, the FBI was called and they were stumped because it was too perfect. The getaway, the lack of evidence, even though there were so many witnesses, none can remember where he took off. After 5 years of searching, they were ready to give up, until Bella magically came back. Without Angelica.
It wasn't until a week later when they found Angelica. The severed, bloodless head of a 15-year old girl was found in the middle of Bella's classroom on top of Bella's desk.

LONG –LOST CHILDREN FOUND
The return of two friends, but in unhappy circumstances.
Angelica Raven (deceased- age 15) was abducted back in July 1999 and was not found until last evening. Isabella Dywer (now-age 15) was also abducted by the same perpetrator in March of 2000. There are no other girls who were taken at this time. The miraculous return of Bella Dwyer last week was the highlight of the Dwyer resident, but raised more question on where she was and how she managed to escape. We were unable to contact the Dwyer resident, but a family friend of the Dwyer said that –"They are very happy and relieved that Bella is home, and hopes for the safe return of Angelica. Bella is unable to remember the horrific memories of her kidnapping and shaky on her details of her escape. The family asks for patience and privacy while the family reunites after 5 long years apart." We did not have to wait long for the return of Angelica, but viewer's discretion advised. It was not safe or humane. (More on page 18)…
The village of Fireside Arizona was not as friendly as it used to be. Most are suspicious of others that they've known for their entire lives because of the horrid and terrible ordeal the village went through in the last 5 years. There was a strict curfew and those fortunate and able to move did so immediately. There was no more farmer's market with friendly faces and joyous noise, just people trying to live their lives without any more murders of a 15 year old.
But it was only just the beginning for one girl.
Alrightyyy! So instead of a story, this is more background information of that '5' years of before Bella got to Forks. I'll update with the other chapter once i finish up some tweaking and will release it tomorrow hopefully!
