Chapter 2: News Reports
Elizabeth walked into her apartment, who she shared with her best friend, Bryanna. They have been living together for almost a year now. They had moved to Port Angelus, Washington, from Kilkenny, and Waterville Minnesota after they graduated.
Elizabeth was eighteen and going to be nineteen on May first. January was ending and so was term. Elizabeth had long brown wavy hair, blues, and always wore jeans and a tank top. For school, she wore shirts over the tank top.
Bryanna was nineteen going to be twenty on September ninth. She has long blond hair, blue eyes, and loved wearing hates.
The thing that Bryanna and Elizabeth shared most was their interest in Fiction, though the two had completely different personalities. Bryanna got along with everyone and fit in with most crowds, not that she liked being in crowds. Elizabeth was more shy, but everyone loved her because she loved making others happy. Not to mention her horrible guilty conscience if someone is not happy.
Elizabeth set the groceries on the counter, as Bryanna walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Liz, I didn't know you were going shopping." Bryanna said.
"We needed a few things and it was my turn to buy." Elizabeth said as she began to walk into the living room to start on homework.
Bryanna started to put the groceries away, "Okay."
They had the system like this, so the person who didn't go shopping knew what was bought.
Elizabeth turned on the stereo, after she took out all her books. She always played music in background no matter what she was doing.
"Turn on the news instead." Bryanna called from the kitchen. "Lexie said something about accidents she wanted us to check out."
Lexie was a big girl who frightened most people. She only got along with Bryanna and Elizabeth or anyone else that those two are hanging out at the time with. Some people consider her to be a body guard. She has long black hair that was always in a pony tail. She also had piecing hazel green eyes that could see through anyone. Once seeing them, she knows everyone thing about them. The girls found it weird, but didn't dwell on it.
"K'." Elizabeth said, turning off the stereo and the TV on.
"How'd that test go?" Bryanna asked.
"It wasn't a test." Elizabeth said, "Just another one of Mrs. Lutos crazy-random-makes-some-kind-of-art-in-a-certain-material-day."
"Seriously?" Bryanna said coming into the living room, "Why make you study all that stuff, just to do a drawing or whatever?"
"You know why." Elizabeth said, "There are certain things you need to know to be able to make the art piece."
Elizabeth then went on explaining what needs to be learned from each certain piece. But Bryanna wasn't listening, for she has already heard this before. Her attention was on the screen.
"Liz! Quiet and turn up the TV." Bryanna ordered.
Confused, Elizabeth did as she was told.
Jenna Watts's new reporter was speaking:
That's right five car accidents located around Seattle. The first one happened when a semi hit the side of 1950s Volkswagen, last Friday. The wagon had an old couple, who were driving to the hospital to meet there new grandson. Last night was the fifth accident. A car holding four teenagers, almost hit a truck, slide off the highway 3,. The crash killed everyone in the car and the car bellow. That car had a mother with two of her children inside.
"Not again." Elizabeth said, "Last month there were three car accidents."
"Something's going on." Bryanna said.
"But what?" Elizabeth asked.
"No idea." Bryanna said.
"So do you think going to Forks next weekend is a good idea?" Elizabeth asked.
"Doesn't look like it." Bryanna sighed.
"No fair." Elizabeth huffed, "We've been waiting for this opportunity sense we moved here."
"I know, but the risk…" Bryanna hesitated, wanting to go there as much as Elizabeth.
"Your right." Elizabeth sighed, going back to her homework.
