"But mom! I don't want to move to Washington! I love it here in Los Angeles!" I complain to my mother.

"It's not up for discussion Siobhan. Now help me pack." she said scolding.

"It's not fair. Why do I have to leave behind my entire life and all my friends?"

"Stop acting like a damned brat! You know very damn well I don't want to move. We have to. Besides you used to love going to Forks when you were young! Remember that Isabella girl and her uncle Charlie? Not to mention that boy you seemed ever so fascinated in. What was his name again? Jacob! That was his name."

"Mom that was different I knew I would be coming back here then. Besides it's my senior year when school starts back up and all my friends will be graduating from The School of Arts. We were supposed to graduate together and go to the same college and end up working for the same corporation."

"Well life doesn't always turn out the way you want it. Now, the discussion is over young lady. Go pack the rest of your things."

I watch as the Los Angeles city rushes by from my side of the car. I remember the sad look on my friends faces as I hugged them goodbye. Rachel still thought I was joking right up until we started driving away. It was then she burst into tears and tore my heart to pieces.

I currently have my red hair up in a bun. My hair isn't naturally red. I dye it every now and again when the colour starts to fade. I always hated my natural colour. I have been told my eyes are unnaturally pretty. They've been compared to emeralds before.

I fell asleep about half way there and was awoken by a sharp stop. Wiping the sleep out of my eyes I looked around and noticed a house. The house looked like it had seen many, many years. The colour of the roof was faded a lot but from what I could tell it was probably red once upon a time. Most of the shutters had fell, probably, a long time ago, only one was barely hanging from one hinge and it looked to be a faded blue colour.

"Here we are Siobhan. This is where I grew up and my mother grew up and her mother before her. Back in the day this was the largest house in the area." I heard my mother say.

We both got out and began unpacking. I heard the sound of footsteps on gravel but continued to grab a few things.

"Michelle... is that you?" I heard a woman say.

"Oh my gosh Anna it s been so long." I heard my mother laughing.

With my clothes in hand I turned to see who my mother was talking to.

She was an older lady about my mother's age. Her greying hair was put up into a very neat bun and not a single hair was out of place. It seemed a bit odd to me. She seemed almost too neat.

"Siobhan this is Anna. We grew up together here." my mother said gushing.

"I don t care mom." I said trying to not show the fact I cared next to nothing.

"Well, if you both need anything... just give me a call okay?" she said as she began to walk away.

"We sure will Anna. We should get together for lunch and catch up sometime."

"That sounds lovely Michelle."

After she was out of hearing range my mother turned sharply in my direction.

"You just can't be nice for one minute can you?" she said angrily.

"Well... I just got torn away from all my friends, to a place where the sun shines maybe once a year. How do you think I feel right now? I know you didn't want to move mom, but we get here and already you have more friends than I do. I feel like an outcast!"

"Siobhan Maria Mason don't you dare start this with me! Now go unpack your things and be ready for dinner. I will be calling that school and enrolling you later today, and you will not, I repeat not embarrass me like that again young lady. Am I understood?"

"Yes ma'am." I said sighing as I carried my stuff to the front door.

Mother and I didn't talk much the rest of the night other than her directing to the room I would be staying in. I got a room on the second floor that she said once belonged to her sister. The very little I knew of her sister was that she had always been emotionally unstable. She attempted suicide in the bathroom downstairs and was taken to a hospital where she actually did manage to commit suicide by apparently swan diving out of a three story window and cracking her skull open when she hit the concrete below. So to be honest it felt weird being in her room.

I felt very confused so I decided to draw a bit. I pulled out my sketchbook I got for my last birthday. It was almost full now so I would need to see if I can find one like it here. Although I doubt this town has anything. I didn't think as I drew. I just let it come to me, which is how I normally draw when I feel confused. I tend to get a lot of really weird pictures when I do this however. After drawing for an hour or so I heard my mother call for dinner. I stopped to look at what I had drawn so far. It didn't make much sense yet, but it looked like a very cliff with a straight drop into the wild water below. I set it down and headed downstairs for dinner.

Dinner was simple and over quickly. I went to bed that night after taking a shower. We didn't speak. I woke up the next morning and found her on the phone. I listened for a bit and just as she had promised she was speaking to the school about enrolling me for the upcoming year. I remembered her telling me about Isabella and now that I am actually thinking about it I really do want to see her. From what I heard she moved in with her Uncle Charlie. So as soon as she was finished I went to ask about them.

"Hey mom?"

"Yeah Siobhan?"

"First, I just want to apologize about yesterday. I know I was in the wrong and I shouldn't have of embarrassed you like that. It's just me and my friends we thought we had beat it all you know. We finally got boys to stop hitting on us, the jealous girls leave us alone, and we were supposed to graduate like that. Now that I'm gone though, I fear they're going to be targeted again by the jealous girls and the boys and it just upset me."

She let out a sigh and paused for a moment.

"I understand Siobhan. I know you and your friends were doing good it's just I lost the job that was paying me so well that we could live there so I have to find work here and luckily I had enough saved up to get the electricity and everything working before we got here. I know moving can be especially hard for teenagers. I want you to be happy. You know this right?"

"Yeah I know mom, and I normally am. So I was thinking about Isabella earlier and I was wondering how well do you know Charlie?"

"Are you kidding? He and I grew up together, went to the same school and everything. You want to see his daughter again?"

"Yeah you know get together catch up."

"Well let me go call him. I'll talk to you in a bit."

I went back upstairs to leave my mother to it. I decided I would draw a bit more. I pulled out my sketchbook and repeating what I did the previous night I stopped thinking and just drew. After a good thirty minutes of drawing non-stop something caught my eye about one of the floor boards. I set my sketchbook down and got down on the floor next to the off looking floor board. It had a small hole in it, barely large enough for a finger to get a hold on. It would be unnoticeable if I hadn't of been sitting in the angle I was. Curiosity drove me and I lifted the floor board. It instantly revealed three things. The first was a pendant with a moonstone which was encased in what looked like gold. I gently lifted it out of the secret hidey-hole. The second was a black book. The cover had only one thing on it: The numbers 12/18/12, which oddly enough was my birthday.

'Why would there be a book with my birthday on it in the floor boards?' I thought to myself.

Underneath the book was a piece of paper with very elegant looking handwriting. The first thing I saw was the name Luna N. Mason, which was the name of my aunt who had killed herself. I set the note down next to the book and necklace. I looked around trying to see if there was anything else I could find. When I didn't find anything I put the piece of wood back and gathered up the items and sat back down on my bed.

I decided I would check out the necklace first. Upon closer examination I was almost positive the moonstone was encased in gold. It wasn't until the light hit a direct angle that I noticed a set of initials and a date on it. The initials were S.M.M. with the date 7/29/12 which was today. Seeing no harm in it I put the necklace on to see if it fit. I was startled to find it fit perfectly, almost as if it were made for me. I was getting really wierded out. I grabbed the book next and noticed it had a very strange lock on it. It was crimson red with a sharp tip. Without even thinking I rubbed my finger against it and I immediately felt a sharp pain. I pulled my hand back and saw the point drew blood. I also noticed that a drop of blood literally traveled down the spike and into a small hole, and suddenly the book clicked open.

'That's a very strange locking mechanism.' I thought.

I flipped through the book and noticed a bunch of spells. Conjure fire, split the earth, and summon the wind, stuff like that. Then it got real confusing. The chapter was called Creating Your Own Spells. It was a very detailed chapter that I would probably have to read a few times over to really understand it. Toward the end of the book I saw the book began to get into folklore. It spun a story of this group of people under the name of Quileute and how they were in all practical purposes werewolves. It also spoke of a family under the name of Cullen, and how they were vampires pretty much. I was laughing at how absolutely absurd the last part of the book was.

"Vampires and werewolves!" I scoffed.

I set the book down and picked up the note. It took me a moment but my eyes adjusted to the cursive. It read:

"Dear Siobhan, when you find this I need you to know something. First of all you re going to have to be strong and keep an open mind. The fate of the world is literally in your hands. Now before you completely disregard everything I say let me ask you something. Have you ever really just wanted something? Like really, really wanted something, but you couldn't get it and then you have it. Or have you ever wished something upon someone and it came true?"

At this point my mouth looked like it had disconnected. It was true in my life I seem to be able to make things happen if I really, really want it to. One time this chick called me a bitch and me being the type of person that doesn't say mean things I just wished she would fall and break something. Then, five seconds later she trips and cracks her skull open. Another time I really wanted these shoes, which I couldn't afford at the time and I wished I could have them so hard. Literally the next day I get a package with the name of the department store on it and when I open it, it was the shoes. Intrigued, I decided to keep reading.

"Well Siobhan it is completely natural for you. The abilities run through the generations waiting for the one, the one who is to save us all. Siobhan, I believe it's you... Probably by now you have labeled me off as some insane lady that just happens to know a little bit about you. Siobhan I do have to warn you however. Beware the Volturi. They will kill you if they get the chance."

'That name... I feel like I know it from somewhere... but where?' I thought to myself, wondering.

"The book tells you of the two major forces in the area Jacob Black's shape shifter pack and the Cullen clan. If I were you I would try and get both of them on your side. There is a gift that flows through you Siobhan and you have known it all along. You just thought it was something else. Now, before I finish I have one piece of advice for you be careful who you trust here. With love: Luna Maria Mason."

I set the letter down and looked at the book again. Shape shifters? Vampires? Doomsday prophecies? I swear my life seems like one of those B rated movies.

I heard someone coming up the stairs so I quickly hid the note from my aunt and the book under my pillows and pretended to be drawing on my sketchbook. My mother walked in a few moments later.

"Hey Siobhan. I just got off the phone with Charlie and he said he'd be delighted to have us down today." she said.

"Cool. When are we going?" I asked trying not to act suspicious.

"Now if that's alright."

"Yeah just let me change."

After she had left I went looking through my bags and I found what I was looking for quickly. It's basically a case that has a combination lock that I use to keep stuff away from other people. I pull it out, open it, and quickly deposit both the note and the book before hiding it in my drawers under all my shirts.

I went into the bathroom and brushed out my messy hair until it looked neat. I then walked downstairs and put my shoes on.

"Where'd you get the necklace from?" My mother, appearing out of nowhere, asked.

"It was a good bye gift from one of my friends back in Los Angeles."

"Oh, that's nice. Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The drive was insanely short and before I knew it we were there. Literally I lived like the next block down from where they live. We pulled up to the house and I found it looked exactly like I remembered it, except for a little old in a few areas. Before our doors were even open I saw Charlie coming out the door. My mother and I were quickly swept up in greetings and I got You've grown so much since I saw you last."

"Well come on then you two. Don't be shy. Come on in!" He said motioning for the door.

We all went in and sat down in the living room. Charlie, once again, commented on how much I had grown.

"I just can't believe that ol' itty bitty Siobhan has grown so much! How tall are you now?" he asked.

"I am 6 foot 1 from my last check." I said blushing from having my height repeatedly pointed out.

"Charlie who's here?" I heard a voice ask followed by footsteps ever so calmly advancing toward us.

"Some good friends of ours Bells."

As she finally got to the bottom of the steps I saw her. She too had definitely grown up. Isabella was drop dead gorgeous. Her flowing brown hair was a bit shorter than mine, but a lot wavier. Her piercing brown eyes could easily light up a room. Her face had a certain quirkiness to it that I know just drives the boys crazy.

"Bella do you remember Siobhan and Michelle?" I heard Charlie ask her.

"Not really." she said in a quiet voice.

"You used to play with them and Jacob all the time growing up."

"Oh yeah. I remember now!" she said her face lighting up.

"Siobhan, why don't you and Bella go and talk and let Charlie and I catch up?" my mother asked.

"Alright." I said standing up.

Bella and I walked up to her room. She had a fairly nice sized room.

"Yeah you can sit wherever you like." she said.

I pulled out the chair for the computer and sat there while she sat on her bed.

So what do you want me to call you?

I d rather not be called Isabella if you don t mind so Bella is fine, and your just Siobhan right?

Yeah that s fine.

"So are you just visiting or are you here to stay?" she asked.

"I am here to stay unfortunately. My mom lost the job she had in L.A. and we had to move out her to find work." I said solemnly.

"Yeah my mom and her new love interest travel all the time, because he's a minor league baseball player and unlike her I don't like to travel so I decided it would be for me to come here."

"What is the school like here?" I asked.

"I don't know this is my first year here. I'll be starting up school this upcoming semester."

"Cool! So will I. At least I won't have to be the only new person." I said laughing slightly.

"Yeah that's never any fun."

I shifted a bit in my seat, trying to get comfortable.

"Have you seen Jacob yet?"

"Yeah he stopped by yesterday, dropping off the truck my dad asked him to fix up. Speaking of which, do you have a ride to school?"

"I'm not sure actually."

"Well Charlie gave me a truck and if you re interested we could drive to school together. Your old house isn't far from here at all. It wouldn't be a problem."

"Yeah that sounds awesome!"

"Now it's not a necessarily new truck by any means. From my understanding though, Jacob fixed it up and it should work fine. It s very noisy by the way."

"Eh, that's not a problem. Nothing I can't get used to."

"So what do you do now in you spare time now days?"

"Well it depends on the situation. Back when we lived in L.A. I rarely had spare time, but when I did I normally drew. Now I'm probably going to be drawing a lot more often. What do you normally do?"

"Whatever I can to occupy time, and if there is nothing for me to do I just go to sleep for a bit."

"Okay so I have a question that's kind of personal and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"What is it?"

I leaned forward a little bit, smiling mischievously.

"How many people have you dated?"

I noticed she blushed a little bit.

"Like I said you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"Well it's just I wasn't expecting that question so soon. I would say about 1 or 2 real relationships. None of them lasted very long though."

"Damn you make me seem like a slut. Back in L.A I've dated a little over 15 people."

"Really?!"

"Yeah I'm not a slut don't get me wrong it's just a lot of people back there really liked me. None of them lasted any time really. I think the longest relationship I had was about 9 months. Once again I'm not a slut I just apparently have really low standards. I haven't dated anyone since early last year, however. I decided to put it off until I was in college."

"I could never give myself away to that many people as easily as you do. No offense but I have really high standards."

"It's understandable."

"Siobhan! It's time to go!" I heard my mother call from downstairs.

"Well I'll see you later Bella." I said as I got up.

"See yah Siobhan." Bella said as we walked down stairs together.

Mother was already outside apparently.

"Siobhan." I heard Charlie call. "Tell your mother that you two are always welcome here."

"Will do Charlie." I said smiling as I opened the door.

That's when I ran right into what felt like a brick wall and landed hard on my ass.

"Ow!" I said looking up at what I collided with.

I instantly recognized the tan copper skin and long black hair.

"Jacob!" I said startled.

"Need a hand?" he said his voice rich and deep.

I grabbed the hand he held out and he helped me up.

I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I said blushing madly.

"It's fine Siobhan. It's amazing to see how you've grown up so much. I remember you were the shortest of the three of us. Now look at you!" he said flashing me a cheesy smile.

I giggled a bit at that.

"Hey Bella Long time no see." Jake said smiling a bit at her.

"I was just about to say the same thing Jake."

"So Siobhan you here visiting or..."

"Come on Siobhan! It's time to go!"

I"'m sorry Jake I got to go." I said as I walked toward the car. I'll see you later you guys.

"Bye Siobhan!" They said in unison.

As soon as I shut the door my mother started the car and we were off.

"Did you have fun?" She asked.

"Yeah I did. It was really fun catching up with them. You know."

"That's good maybe we can do this again before school starts next week."

"I hope so."

Sorry for the re upload of this chapter I messed up in a part that aggravated the hell out of me. :p
