AN: Another late update which I'm terribly sorry for, however I have just been told today that I was successful in an interview and I now have my first FULL TIME JOB at 18! YES! :D Also, another amazing thing, I have a man in my life now, someone who buys me flowers all the time, treats me like an absolute princess! Soooooo, I promise to try and update every Tuesday from now, I just have to find the time to write chapter's... Which I will find! Back to the story now...

Chapter 5

Waking up smelling the scent of rain confused me? Where was I? Oh yeah! I finally got to meet my dad. I felt a smile grace my face as I was wondering what my day would bring.

Whilst getting in the shower and getting ready for the day, I carried on having a deep conversation in my mind on what I would be doing with myself now, now that I was finally here. A sudden thought popped into my head. I was supposed to be learning a lesson today? What could it possibly be? The only lessons I've ever had to learn are lessons in school, and well, lessons that my mum wanted me to learn from when I ALWAYS did something that she didn't like.

As I was walking downstairs, I noticed how silent it was. Was I home alone? Where was Charlie? It wasn't until I heard a loud rumbling sound coming from outside that it made sense that Charlie was probably out there working on something. My curiosity got the best of me and I opened the front door to see a big red chevvy truck parked on the drive. Was this Charlie's other car? And why was the native boy sitting in the drivers seat staring at me?

I'd finally had enough of not knowing what was going on and why Charlie was acting so strange.

"Dad!" He must be around here some where, he wouldn't just leave me the morning after I arrived right?

"Bella, morning sweetie, sorry if you couldn't find me, I was just out the back getting some wood ready for the fire" Odd, I didn't hear any wood chopping or anything at all going on out the back. The native boy decided it was time for him to get out the truck but not before casting me the strangest look. Was that lust? Ew. That is not attractive.

"Oh Bella, I'd like you to meet Jacob. Jacob and his dad live on the reservation and his dad happens to be my best friend." Strange. Why was dad introducing me to his kid?

"Err, nice. Well hey Jacob, its nice to meet you." I felt so uncomfortable. The kid was staring at me, what else was I supposed to think?

"Hey Bella, don't worry. The pleasure is all mine. Oh and please call me Jake. Just thought I'd let you know Charlie that she's ready for you and she's had all the work done that was needed to make sure that she was safe and durable." Who were they talking about, and the pleasure certainly wasn't his. I'd been here for not even a full day and already guys are taking notice of me. It was a strange feeling to be noticed by a male. However with the Jake currently giving me the eye, it wasn't a nice feeling at all. It actually made me feel pretty disgusted. That sounds harsh, but it's the only way that I could possibly word it in my current situation.

"Thank you Jacob. Now isn't there some where you should be? School perhaps." Thank God for Charlie! I swear he literally saves the day every time! Oh and the look on Jake's face! HA! He looked like someone stole his puppy. Well maybe he should learn some respect. He's what 15 maybe 16 years old?

"Um, yeah. Well I guess I should be going. Er, see you later Bella."

"Bye." It sounded nasty but what else could I say to him? He started walking down the road, into the woods and all that could be heard was a huge ripping sound. It's pretty obvious something wasn't right in this town but it wasn't like it was my place to question anything. I'd only just got here.

"Oh Bells, I know what when you go to school that you would need a way to get there and back everyday, so I uh, kinda took the situation into my own hands and bought you the truck." He looked so nervous when he was telling me this and the blush that rose from his cheeks made it clear that he was worried about I would think. The blush, now I knew where it came from. All along I wondered why I would blush so hard and suddenly when my mother never did. But now I finally discovered why.

I couldn't help my own blush forming when it made sense what Charlie had just said to me. WAIT. I have my own car? Shocked wasn't the word for how I was feeling right at this moment. My mother never let me have anything like this, I mean she paid for me to go for my license which I was so grateful for but other then that, it was all she allowed me to have.

"Dad, are you serious? This is mine? Thank you so much!" Jumping into his arms again for the second time since I've been here, my heart felt like it was going to burst! I had never felt so much love in all my 17 years and it was overwhelming. When he released me it was only then that I realised I was crying but not for a sad reason, it was a good one.

It was an hour or so later whilst I was unpacking the last of my things when there was a knock on my bedroom door. I opened to door and Charlie was the other side of it carrying a large wooden rectangular box.

The box was so beautiful and unique, a slight swirl pattern lingered on each edge of the box and they all met in the middle. Place on the middle of the box on the outside and on the lid of the box was a tree. The tree itself was breathtaking, the curls of the roots at the bottom of it all intertwined up the sides of the tree in a circular motion whilst connecting and intertwining altogether once the roots met each other at the top of the tree. The detail on the box was one of the most difficult things to describe. It was so original. What was this box? Why did Charlie have it in his hands?

Charlie led me outside of the house after assuring me that I had nothing to worry about and the box was a component in our lesson today. We got to the end of the yard before I was led into the woods. I never realised before now how beautiful nature really was. In Phoenix it was always too hot causing the nature to die out very quickly. Even with the slight bit of nature it did have, it was nothing compared to this. Birds were singing in the trees, the tree's themselves were swaying and moving as if they were interacting with each other and whispering to one another. This was something I had honestly never experienced before, all the greenery that Forks held was unbelievable. In the corner of the wooded area that we were currently in sat a tiny tree that was quite clearly dying.

A second late, something inside me erupted. The feeling of need, needing to give everything that I could to help this one little tree get itself better was an emotion that I couldn't run away from. My mood wavered from being sad to anger every few seconds and it my chest felt heavily constricted. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't understand what was happening to me? All this over a tree? Why was I feeling like this? Was I having a heart attack? All my thoughts subsided when I could hear Charlie calling my name. I tried to reply, but I physically couldn't. This was the one moment that I had never been more scared for my life.

The pain didn't last long as blackness took over my vision and then finally everything went black and I felt like I was floating.

AN: Ok, so a bit more happened in this chapter, however this is only the beginning. I decided to go about a different way of Bella realising she was different and developing her powers rather than going the obvious BANG! This is the list of all your powers and this is who you are.

Ok, so the next chapter is when Charlie will reveal a prophecy and will confront Bella about why she is different and a lot of secrets will be revealed. How will she take it? The chapter after that is our Bella's first meeting with the Cullen's. Will it go smoothly? Until next time..
