I walked out of the airport taking in the cloudy sky and soft rain that fell, misting around my body, making me damp. It was so green around here, grass covered the ground, moss covered the trees, even the flowers that sprung from the ground were a well blended green. I took a deep breath. This was my home for now. Putting my thumb out in front of me I gestured for a cab, cars zoomed by me, red ones, blue ones, crappy ones, fancy ones but eventually a yellow cab came to a stop in front of my me. "Forks" I told the driver unsure of where I was going after that. I watched the scenery slowly trough the window. if sceneryis what you wanted to call it. Just more green, green, green. green grass, green moss, green trees. green. and not to mention a bleak gray sky.

I thought of Alec and how distressed he must be right now, I knew only to well how his full lip would pout, how his eyebrows would pull together, making a permanent knitt in his forehead. I inwardly sighed, I missed him terribly but not enough to turn back. not nearly enough.

"Ma'am" the cab driver mumbled pulling me out of my thoughts of Alec. "were here" another mumble. I reached into my bag and pulled out a wad of cash counting out the exact amount and stepping out onto the unfamiliar road. I sighed disgusted. When I had said 'Forks' I didn't mean quite so literally. The cab driver had dropped me off at the entrance to Forks. A wide slab of wood painted white with faded yellow letters reading "Welcome to forks" it looked like I'd be walking the rest of the way. I suppose the easiest way to find where my farther lived was to go to local police station and ask where Charlie Swan lived.

I walked the rest of the way, though the rain was only a light mist, by the tine I reached the police station I was soaked to the bone, and frozen solid, but I trudged forward through the glass doors. The police station was small, quaint. The walls a dull blue, with a white ceiling. The carpet was an off yellow, the room was poorly lit and it took a few long moments for my eyes to adjust. Three desks surrounded the room, they were deep brown like the wood was rotting, but no one seemed to care. It smelt like smoke and peppermint, not at all the perfect smell of my once perfect home in volterra... but I stopped that thought before it could overwhelm me. I instead focused on the three men sitting at each one of desks. None of them had noticed my entrance, very attentive I thought sarcastically. I stepped forward to the desk in the center which held a gold plate labeling him as chief.

"excuse me sir" I asked in my most innocent voice. The cheif looked up obvisously starteled by my presence. "hmph" he said in a embarrassed tone "i didn't see you there" he mumbled looking up at me from his desk. And than I saw it. I saw it in his eyes. My eyes. His eyes...Our eyes. The same bright blue that I saw everytime i looked in the mirror. This was it than i thought. I didn't have to look nearly as far as I thought would, he stood in front of me now, starring down at me in amazement. "may- wha- w-who... are you?" he stammered slightly in awe. I gulped back my fears and took in a deep breathe. "My names Alice" I ducked my eyes avoiding his gaze, though it wasn't nessescary because he seemed the be awkwardly avoiding my gaze as well. " I think... I'm... your daughter?" it was a question. I wasnt sure if he knew of me, if he knew he had had a daughter but I mentally crossed my fingers. Hoping Renee had prepared him for this. His eyes lit slightly and I knew, knew for certain that he knew me. Like a stranger you knew you were suppose to love. " ... I-Wha- My dau- Alice" it slipped from his lips with total understanding. I could see it in his eyes, he was indecisive, what did he do now? " ... thought you were dead" it was a whisper. "No, Ive been living on my own" I lied expertly. "But I was wondering if I could... come stay with you...?" I made my eyes big and wide, the innocent face I used so many times on Alec shining through. Pleading with my eyes for him to say yes. "uhm... yes?" he didn't sound so sure, but i wouldn't give him time to change his mind. I hugged him tight around the waist "thanks cheif" I mumbled into his chest. He patted my back awkwardly " call me... dad?" again so unsure. But i wouldn't take that dad step quite yet. Charlie would be a happy medium that was neither to personal or to business like. Perfect.

I pulled away from the embrace looking him up and down for the first time. He was a good foot taller than me, he was a little thick but nothing unhealthy, his hair was short but in a disarray, he had a thick mustache, but it looked good on him. It belonged there. I really did see a remarkable amount of myself in him. The way his brow line puckered, the way his nose curled up on the end. He really was my farther.

Charlie drove me back to his home in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, like it might have been with anybody else. It was like we had a silent understanding, don't say too much, don't ask too many questions and everything would fine. When we pulled up to Charlies house I took a slow intake of breath, this was going to take some getting used too. I would no longer be living in a castle, instead for my time here in forks it seemed I would be living in an off white two story house. With a large window at the front that looked down on the front yard. not that there was much to to look at. just green. it seemed Charlie lived on the outter edge of forks because foreast lined his house from behind and on the right. yet again, more green. "Well", Charlie murmured butting in on my thoughts "this is home" "hm", I replied shortly. He took a deep breath and got out of thecar with me slowly in tow. He lead me up the cement path to the door which he opened, motioning for me to go first.

The inside of the house was much like the outside, all the walls were white, from what I could tell I was in a hallway that lead straight to the staircase which was dull brown and clearly never correctly taken care off. On one side of the hallway was a small kitchen with only the bare essentials, a fridge, a stove, a microwave, and circular table with one seat. On the other side of the hallway was a living room, with a strikingly large flat screen that did not belong. Too flashy it screamed. A small couch and recliner sat in front of the television, but that was all. I would have to do some interior decorating while I was here I decided. "Theres a spair room up there for you" he stated stiffly shifting his wait from one foot to another "First door on the right", I walked the stairs which squealed in protest at my weight until I found my self in the same layout downstairs. I stood in a hallway, at the head the bathroom door stood open and i thought of taking a hot shower but shook the thought from my head and instead continued my tour. To my left a door swung slightly a jar but i could see the king sized bed and black bedding and instandtly I knew this was Charlies room. I walked a little ways forward to the door on the right which was closed because it clearly hadn't been used in a while. The door creaked when i opened it. This room had the giant window that overlooked the "yard" I thought sourly. So much for privacy. The room was small and yet again white with a twin sized bed against the wall. I would fix this place up I thought to myself. But first more important things, I had to sign myself up for my new highshool. I had always wanted to go to highschool, but Alec insisted I stay around the castle, stay around with him, and I obliged just like I normally did to make him happy. But not this time. This time I was making myself happy. I felt a wide smile grace my lips as I pulled my cell phone out and accessed the operator. They forward me to the school. I was starting tomorrow.

I need reviews guys/: it makes me sad i only have one, but people have this on story alert. Help me out (: thanks!
