Chapter 5: Home

I ran as fast as I could…I was back home in mere minutes. I quickly ran up through the window, ignoring the door leading in through the building, and opened all my drawers.

I grabbed everything from my designer clothes to my personal pictures of my mother. I then proceeded to put it all in my large suitcase.

I wonder why I was in such a hurry to get out; maybe I was trying to beat the sun coming up from the mountains.

Whatever it was, I decided to take the stairs down from my apartment building, since the employees began filing in.

Once I was out of sight, I quickly ran to my Koenigsegg CCX, and stuffed everything into the trunk.

Hopping into the driver's seat, I turned on the engine and absentmindedly listened to it roar to life,

Remembering my current mission, I quickly turned on the radio to the classical music station.

I was happy that they were playing one of my favorite songs, by Debussy, and sped out of the parking lot.

Going in one direction, I finally spotted a familiar sign.

Continuing to follow the familiar path, I came upon my hometown.

Finally.

I spotted the little welcoming center of the small rainy town and quickly got out of my car.

Hopefully I don't look too conspicuous…

I gracefully glided up the steps and was greeted by a plump little woman.

I watched as she stared at me, looking shocked; so I looked down to examine my outfit.

I was wearing a designer white long sleeve blouse, Faded Glory skinny jeans, Knee-high Gucci boots, (that raised my up about 3 inches) and an expensive gold-colored purse.

Wonderful. Wrong outfit to wear. Stupid, stupid Bella! Why can't I do anything right…

"She looks so much like the Cullens…" I heard the lady whisper under her breath,

"Hmm?" I asked. Who are the Cullens?

"Umm…nothing. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Mrs. Sally Newton, welcome to Forks. What can I do for you Miss?" She asked, shaking her head.

"This is my hometown. I'm Bella, Bella Swan."

"Oh! Chief Swan's daughter. He talks about you so much!" She replied, smiling.

Good. That was the right thing to say.

"So, what can I help you with?" She repeated.

"Uh…I would like to buy a house. Please." I responded.

"Ok. Price range?"

"The most expensive ones you've got."

CPOV

Okay…I see Newton is messing with the law again. Of course. What else is new?

Wait…I know the Cullens are in town…but this scent is different. More floral…freesia.

That's Bella! She's here! She at least could have called.

But where? Hmm…she's at the beginning of town.

The Welcoming Center? Why didn't she just go over to my house?

I have to go get her…

BPOV

"I think I like that one." I said, pointing to a big, white mansion.

"How much?" I added.

"There's no need." I heard a deep voice state. I immediately stiffened.

Great.

EPOV

"Alice?" I asked. I had been watching her squirm under my stare for the past five minutes,

"Okay Alice, You led me to her on purpose. I have waited for an explanation long enough. Tell me. NOW."

I was impatiently taping my foot, waiting for her to explain.

"Well…"

"ALICE!"

"Fine, I saw more in my vision, I did see her in the forest, so I wasn't lying to you about that, but I also saw her here. In Forks. Going to the High School, but that's it, I don't know where, I don't know why, and I certainly don't know who she is, I swear that's it. Oh, and she's by herself. I think." She responded, and then preceded to take a large gulp of air.

"That's it? No more?" I asked. She has finally come clean. Hopefully she told me everything.

"Yes."

What is theat smell? It smells so familiar...so floral...freesia.

BPOV

"Hey, Bells. Why are you trying to buy a house? You're not even 18 yet!" Charlie yelled joyously.

Why did he always have to come and rain on my parade?

I was planning on pretending I was eighteen.

"Cha-Dad! Nice to see you again! I guess there is no need to look at these." I answered, and then ran over to hug my Dad.

"Mrs. Newton?"

"Yes, Bella?" She answered, with a smug smile plastered on her face,

"Where is the High School, again?" I asked. My thoughts were briefly altered.

"Oh, it's hard to miss. I'll have Mike show you on Monday." She answered.

So that was were all her smugness was coming from.

I shot my Dad a look that stated, "Help me!" and he understood.

"Oh no, it's okay, Mrs. Newton, I'll give her directions. Thanks anyway!" Charlie almost yelled.

I mouthed the words 'Thank You' and turned back to Mrs. Newton.

"Good Bye, Mrs. Newton!"

"You'll see Mike at school tomorrow!" She added.

Wonderful. My favorite person. Can this day get any worse?

As I stepped into my car, I felt Charlie breathing down my neck.

On impulse, I turned around and gave him a hug.

"Long time no see." He laughed into my hair.

"I missed you Dad. I decided to come home. Boise sucks." I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile.

I'm so happy...I'm home.

He just laughed.

"There is another coven of vampires here, the Cullens. They're nice. The father, Carlisle Cullen, works at the local hospital. Him and his wife, Esme Cullen, have five adopted children. They never get into trouble and keep to themselves. You'll see them at school. They have a car like yours and wear the same type of clothing. You won't miss 'em." He explained to me.

"Ya. Sure," I answered, He didn't know of my phobia of other vampires.

I then looked at him, and saw a worried expression on his face.

Oh no. There's bad news up ahead.

"And, one more thing. Your mother's in town." He sighed.

Yep. I knew it. My day official got worse.
