1 Day Earlier…….
I was running through the pitch-black forest, the huge wolf right behind me. What was happening? Who was that boy who was somehow also a wolf? Where was I? The last thing that I could remember was being with the Denali Coven. I could remember my last day with them clearly but after that it was like…. Like my memory had a huge hole in it. What had happened?
The wolf was gaining on me. I had to do something. I could smell a beach nearby, so I headed in that direction.
As the smell of the beach grew closer, I could feel the wolf's hot breath on my back. Just as I thought that it would get me, I burst through the trees onto a desolate beach. I dashed towards the shoreline before the wolf could guess at what I was planning and dove into the cold water. Not that I could feel the cold. When I was far out enough I dove down and let the current carry me. We vampires have an advantage when we are underwater. We don't have to breathe.
I'm not sure how long I stayed under the water. All I know is that it took a while for the fear and confusion in me to subside. All I could think about was that wolf right behind me and what would have happened if it had caught me. But after a while other thoughts started to become more prominent. The one which was the biggest was the wolf-boy. No matter what I did, I couldn't forget him. It was as if his image was imprinted onto my mind.
I resurfaced to find that I was in a completely different part of the beach. I couldn't smell any wolves so I made my way out of the water and into the sand. It was still pitch black and I guessed that it was about midnight.
My number one priority was to find somewhere where I could get some clean, dry clothes. I was still wearing what I had been wearing on my last day with the Denali Coven. I had no idea how long ago that had been but I was sure that it wasn't yesterday.
After wandering aimlessly through the woods for a while I caught the smell of life. I moved in that direction and I eventually came to a road. Thanks to a conveniently placed sign I discovered that I was in the town of Forks in Washington.
It took some time, but I eventually found a shopping complex. Breaking into a clothes shop was no problem with my abilities and soon I was in a new pair of jeans and had a clean shirt on. I also managed to find some shoes.
It was amazing how quickly I had gotten used to doing stuff like this. I had only been a vampire for two months. Luckily I had been found by the Denali Coven who had taken me in. They had been amazed by my ability to resist the scent of human blood. I could smell blood and it was appetizing but if I wanted to resist it I could easily make do with animals instead.
While I had been with the Denali Coven Eleazar had discovered my ability. I had the power to change my (and later I discovered other's) appearances. I used my ability to change my eyes golden instead of red. Eleazar warned that my ability was extremely dangerous. He said that it had to do with being able to change the genetic makeup of someone and that I could easily use it to kill someone. I hoped that I would never have to do that.
After that incident I had started living a normal life with the Denali Coven. They had started teaching me how to be a vampire, you know, how to use my abilities and stuff. Then there was the lapse in my memory. The next thing I remembered was running through the forest and finding the cute wolf-boy. The rest you know.
I tried to think of a plan of action but everything always led me to the same conclusion. I had to find the wolf-boy. I knew he wouldn't attack me because he didn't in the woods and I had the feeling that he would provide the answers to all of my questions.
I spent the night looking around town. Just as the sun was making an appearance I caught the smell of vampires. Just a faint smell but it was enough. Seeing as it would be next to impossible to find the wolf-boy I decided that talking to the local vampires would be my next best option.
I followed the smell until it led me to a beautiful house on the outskirts of town. I tentatively knocked on the door and waited for someone to come. I didn't have to wait long.
After about three seconds the door opened and a girl who looked like a model opened it. She had the kind of appearance that made any other girl around her jealous. It was obvious that she was a vampire.
"Alice she's here" the girl called out.
Suddenly a friendly looking, impish girl was standing next to the first one.
"Come inside" she said "we've been waiting for you".
That kind of made me feel weird but I went inside anyway. The girl led me to a couch and invited me to sit down. She was joined by two more vampires. One looked older than the others and seemed to be acting as an almost maternal figure. The other was holding the most beautiful toddler that I've ever seen's hand. The maternal one spoke.
"Hello dear, I'm Esme and this is Bella, Rosalie, Alice and Renesmee. I'm sure that you're very scared and confused so I'm telling you that you don't need to be".
I breathed an audible sigh of relief. "Thank you so much. My name is Katrina and I have no idea how I got here. I was staying with the Denali Coven but that is the last thing I can remember. It's like there was a lapse in my memory. The next thing I remembered after that was being chased by a wolf thing!"
There was a moment of silence after my introduction. The abnormally beautiful vampire opened her mouth to say something but before any sound could escape her lips a scream rang out from the other side of the house.
Before anyone could stop me I was running to the source of the noise. I would recognize that voice anywhere, even when it was screaming. It was the voice of the boy from yesterday. It was the voice of the boy who was also a wolf.
