Chapter 1

"Bella, time to wake up. The plane is about to land," Charlie Swan gently woke his daughter.

She was 17-years-old and had grown up in Italy with her mother. She had moved to Phoenix Arizona from Italy the year before. The beginning of her senior year of high school had been marked by the tragic death of her mother Renee. Now she was moving again. This time to Forks Washington to live with her father and her elder brother and sister, Jasper Whitlock and Rosalie Hale.

She had never met Jasper and Rosalie. They were 20 and 19, respectively. She knew they were picking them up from the airport.

As Bella and Charlie entered the terminal she heard a deep voice call out.

"Dad!" Jasper Called. Despite growing up in Washington he had never completely lost his Texan accent.

"Hey Jasper, meet your sister Bella."

"Hey Bella, it's nice to finally meet you."

"It's nice to finally meet you as well Jasper," Bella replied.

"Where's Rosalie?" Charlie asked.

"Babysitting the Weber twins," Jasper replied. "You'll get to meet her later Bella."

Jasper followed Bella and Charlie to baggage claim and helped carry Bella's luggage out to the car.

"I hope you like it here Bella," Jasper said. "We're really glad you're here and hope you'll like our friends."

"Do you have many friends?" Bella asked.

"Not very many," Jasper replied. "There's my girlfriend Alice, her twin brother Edward, and their older brother and Rosalie's boyfriend Emmett."

"Just three friends?"

"Yes ma'am, just the three of them. Not many people like us. Mostly the other people in town stay away from us."

"Oh, why do they stay away from you guys?"

"Well the guys in our age group see me and Emmett as threats because of our builds. The girls see Rosalie as a threat because of her looks. And everyone is afraid of Alice and Edward; Alice has a pixie like build but she is extremely hyper and she's very intuitive about the future and is rarely wrong. Edward is rather tall with bronze hair and green eyes and very intuitive about what people are thinking."

As Jasper finished telling Bella about Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Edward they pulled into the driveway. Shortly after they arrived home Rosalie pulled in.

Jasper helped Bella carry her things up to her new bedroom. Luckily the house was big enough that all of them could have their own bedroom. Her bedroom furnishings were fairly simple. She had a bed, a dresser, and a computer desk with a laptop sitting on top it. Her bed had a purple bed spread on it. She started to unpack and get settled in.

"Hey," Rosalie spoke up from the door way. "Welcome to Forks."

"Thanks," Bella replied while putting her few dresses in her closet.

"You're welcome, so how do you like Forks so far?"

"It's very green."

"Ha ha ha, ya it is very green," Rosalie replied. "You seem kinda quiet. I think you would get along well with my boyfriends younger brother Edward."

Edward

"Hey Edward," Alice called as she entered the living room. "Jasper's baby sister has finally come to live with Chief Swan."

"Really? What's her name?"

"Isabella, Bella for short."
