This chapter will be shorter than it originally was because I lost the first version when my computer. I hadn't saved it (though you would already known that if you have read my blog).

I looked down at my sleeping younger sister, smiling. I know I shouldn't be smiling because my "parents" just died like, a month ago, but I can't help it. Where we're moving to, she's going to love it! See, my parents, or sperm and ovary donors, as I like to call them, died in a fire while I was at the icecream shop with Ava. I guess I'm a little sad, though. My parents just weren't children people. They were more of the, "be-rich-and-donate-money-to-great-causes" type of people.

My parents were rich. When I say rich, I mean, they were loaded! But that's not important. What is important is mine and Ava's current situation. Due to the fact that I'm still a minor, I have to be sent to live an adult that knew my family. It was that or Ava and I were going to be seperated and put into the foster system. I wasn't going to let that happen. So, the children's service people contacted Sam Uley, a person who knew my parents well. One of the places they donated money to was a reservation up in Washington called La Push, which is where I'm heading right now.

My guardian is currently a Native American man who was more of father to than my ''sperm donor,'' and he is only twenty-four. We're pretty close despite the fact that we rarely ever saw each other. If he was able to,we would talk on the phone sometimes, but we mostly e-mailed. I'm glad we're living with him and his fiancee, Emily, and not my *shiver* Grandma Matilda. I would have shot myself and sent Ava to live in Timbucktu with some foreign person.

Seeing as how I'm scared to death of flying in a plane, I got my old butler to drive us across country from Knoxville, Tennessee to La Push, Washington. Right now we almost there. We were driving through Forks. I was literally bouncing in my seat! Then, we came into view of the reservation! I hadn't been here in three years, but it still looked the same! I could tell Richard, our butler, was digusted. "Ugh, Emmy darling, I'm so sorry. You have to live here." I looked around, not seeing anything wrong with it. We had just approached a large house which I knew as Sam and Emily's house. "What's wrong with it?" I asked as he shut off the SUV. "It's clearly for poor people!" he said. I smacked him in the head and looked down at my nnow awake little sister.

She was looking around curiously. "What do you think of your new home?" I asked her. "Fun! Fun!" She was only a little over one and a half, so she didn't know very many words. Richard already had all of our bags in the driveway and he was twirling his keys, obviously ready to get rid of us. When I ot out of the Suburban, Ava on my hip, he hopped in, yelled, "Bye!" then sped off. I feel so loved. Not. Apparently, Sam and his friends who he oddly referred to as "the pack" heard the commotion outside and they came out of the house. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm kind of short for a seventeen year old. I've been stuck at the same height since I was twelve, which is 5'5. These guys are insanely tall, the shortest was easily 6'5, a foot taller than me. There were eight people standing in a row, and I could pick out Sam with ease. He hadn't changed a bit!

"Sam!" I exclaimed, walking over to him. He gave me a light hug and looked at Ava. "She's even cuter in person than in the pictures you sent me!" he said, poking her cheek which resulted in a giggle from her. "Thanks," I said, looking down ather fondly. "Who are these giants?" I asked, indicating the men in front of me. They automatically started listing off their names, going down the row. "Jared." "Embry." "Jacob." "Quil." "Brady." "Collin." "Seth." When it got to Seth, he looked at my little sister like he was a previously blind man seeing the sun for the first time. Quil laughed. "And another one bites the dust!" he said. I looked at him funny. "He enjoys randomly quoting songs," Sam explained. This made sense. "There are usually two more people," he said, "but Paul and Leah are... at work right now." I wondered when I would meet this Paul guy, and WHY IN THE HECK WAS SETH STILL LOOKING AT AVA!
