I shot up in bed gasping and blinking hard trying to clear the image I had just dreamt from my terrified eyes when I saw it. It was an image that made me gasp and snap my eyes shut. I was too afraid to open them again just in case it was real. He had snuck in at tonight before without me knowing. But he wasn't here. WAS HE! I swallowed hard and slowly opened my eyes. Nothing. I sighed with relief. It was just my mind playing nasty tricks on me after the bad dream. He was not here! I don't know why I had to say the same thing over and over again to try to convince myself. There was no solid evidence he was here anyway, so why was I getting so worked up about it? I sighed and checked my alarm clock 2:20 A.M. Brilliant. I couldn't go back to sleep for fear of seeing them again so I sluggishly got out of bed. I must have been in a very deep sleep as I was very stiff and my body didn't seem to want to work. I stretched, wincing slightly at the stiffness, walked over to the ancient desk and flipped on the computer.

As the machine whirred into life I impatiently drummed my finger on the keyboard. I didn't know what I was going to do on the computer or why I was so impatient about doing it but I sat there listening to the rhythmic beat of my impatient fingers. The main screen the popped up on my screen and I grabbed the mouse, 'what to do? Oh I know' I quickly opened up my email and began to write a short email to Charlie,

Hi dad,

How are you? I hope that you're surviving without my cooking. Remember to stay off the red meat! The weather here is rainy. Just like Forks. My first day of school was great!' I left out the being sent home and meeting up with a Cullen thing, 'the lessons are really interesting and are practically the same as American lessons. I really am missing you. Hope I'll see you soon.

As I finished the email and sent it I checked the clock at the bottom of my computer's screen. It was 3:00 A.m.? It took me 40 minutes to write that… it must just be because I was still half asleep.

I began flitting through webpage upon webpage trying to find something slightly entertaining when I came across one article that stopped me in my internet surfing tracks, '5 hikers mysteriously vanished in supposed animal attack' I don't know what made me stop and read it but something in the back of my mind was pulled towards the article as I read,

'5 hikers that mysteriously vanished 2 weeks ago have been found with multiple bites most likely caused by animal attacks before or after death.' My mouth fell open at this 'multiple bite most likely caused by animals' i slowly began to read on,

'All Hikers were found in the same area carelessly duped in a clearing by animal or human no one knows. They had suffered many lacerations to the neck and wrists which caused massive blood loss resulting in their death. The family of these unfortunate sightseers are deeply shaken by this and any information on their deaths will be greatly appreciated' I just sat there gawping open mouthed at the screen. 'Multiple lacerations' 'massive blood loss' my mouth had gone bone dry and strength of the grip I was putting on my mouse was bone smashing.

I nearly hit the ceiling as I hard a sharp, annoying beeping coming from my alarm clock. It was 6:30. I had been silently staring at my computer screen for 3 and half hours. I slowly rose and walked over to my bed side table shutting off my alarm clock. I stood up straight and noticed my hands were shaking violently. I tried to control them but with no prevail. What if there were vampires in the area. My experiences with vampire had proven that I had 'tasty blood'. I shook my head to try and calm myself I had other, more important things to worry about now like school. With that thought I grabbed my wash bag and towel and headed to the bathroom.

Once washed, dressed, fed and ready to go I snatched up my keys kissed mum goodbye and headed for my car. I hurriedly unlocked my Truck door and slid inside thankfully it wasn't raining to day as I checked my time table and saw I had P.E. first with Miss Round. I shoved my keys into the little slot near the steering wheel and started the engine. T took several twists and loving encouragement (me hitting the steering wheel continuously) before it started. As I reversed out of the driveway I heard a familiar tune came on the radio. It was DEBUSY. I quickly snapped of the radio I had had enough with anything to do with them. The really bad thing was it was all coming at once. The name, the car, the Robert, the dream…

When I arrived at school I locked my car and turned to be met with a small black haired girl smiling up at me, "hi my name is Emily, Emily Brown I was supposed to meet you yesterday but you went home so I couldn't. Welcome to St Hopes" she beamed up at me,

"HI I'm Bella Swan its nice to meat you to" I smiled. As I said this Emily's smile seamed to intensified,

"Wow your American. Cool. So what you got first?" her bubbly-ness painfully reminded me of a certain other small black haired girl the whole... no cavern in my chest seamed, if possible, to extend so much that it was even painful to breathe,

"Err, P.E I thi-"

"Oh that's what I've got we can go together." And with that she linked my arm and whisked me off to the P.E. rooms.

As we walked she chatted on about school and the teachers and I nodded when necessary and so on. When we got to the play pitches there was a group of people playing rounder while a teacher whistled loudly and bawled instructions at them. I looked over my shoulder back at the group of teens in the schools white and blue uniform playing rounders on the back pitch of the schools gym when I saw something streak around the bases at a speed that Olympians would have been proud of. When he got to the last base the ball not even near him he slowed down and I finally got a clear look at his face. It was him. Edward. The cavernous hole in my chest seamed to explode when I saw him. The pain was almost unbearable but I ignored it. He lazily glanced over his shoulder to another girl, who with another ground breakingly painful chest throb I noticed it was Alice, and he then looked me straight in the eye,

"What you looking a Bella? Oh Edward he's hot isn't he? Bella?" I barley even noticed Emily's voice. The only thing I could even barley notice was Edward beautiful face staring aimlessly back at me. Before he could even respond I turned and ran as fast as my legs would allow in the other direction.

I knew running would not mean anything if he wanted to try and catch me up but it was all I could do. He can't be here. He just can't be. I was still dreaming and would wake up any minute. I quickly looked back over my shoulder to try to see if he was really there not thinking about the consequences when you're as clumsy as I am. Sure enough I tripped over my feet and everything went black…
