I do not own Twilight Stephanie Meyers does, I only own Ishbel and her family. (DON'T LIKE THIS STORY; THEN DON'T READ IT)

The next day I woke up surprisingly early. I looked outside and saw that it was another sunny day. Now for Forks this was rare. I changed into a pair of blue jean Capri pants, sneakers, and a black short sleeve shirt that has a picture of a silver guitar on it. I combed my hair and left it down before going downstairs. I saw that my mom was up and decided to make pancakes with a side of black and white pudding (ME: BLACK AND WHITE PUDDING, A TYPE OF IRISH SAUSAGE). I poured myself some orange juice and started eating.

"Hey I'm going into town today, you want to come with me" mom asked.

"Sure, I wanted to check out the bookstore again, seeing as I finished Gone with the Wind" I replied; it was true I did finish it.

"Well Charley, Bella's father, said he would give us a lift sense he was heading to the police station anyway" mom said.

"Why I thought you said it was his day off today" I asked.

"It was supposed to be, but he got called in, he told me that they found a body in the woods" mom said shivering a little.

"A body" I repeated.

"Yes a body, except he said that apparently his men saw something strange about it, and had to get down there" she said.

"Did he say what was strange" I asked.

"Just that the body had NO blood left in his body, and had a couple of bite marks in his neck" she said.

I found myself shivering a little. I shook it off and we finished our meal in silence. The car ride was silent as Bella's father took us to town, seeing as dad took the car to work. We thanked him for the ride before he drove off.

"OK, I have a lot of shopping to do, and I'm going to trust you on your own. We'll meet back here at 12 for lunch, and then we'll met there at 7; and in case you want to go home I just tell me when we meet at lunch and I'll give you some money for a cab" mom said.

"Alright, love you" I said.

"Love you too" she said before walking off.

I decided to head to the dogo. I walked in and saw one of the sensei's teaching a group of teenagers. I was surprised that at how many were my age and older. I decided to just sit and watch until the dogo was free. It was apparently time for matching, because everyone sat in a large square, and they were on their knees. I watched a couple rounds but then the sensei saw me. He smiled before saying "Class we have a guest."

"I'm sorry sensei I came to train a little and didn't realize you had a class" I apologized.

"Its fine, your father told me that if you came to let you join us, so do you feel like matching" he asked.

"Yes, but I don't want to interrupt your class" I said.

"Your not, Mr. McKnight you feel like matching" he asked a boy.

"Yes sensei" the boy replied.

The boy looked about my age, he was skinny/muscular, had black short hair, green eyes, and dark skin. We both got into a stance in the square of students, whom I just noticed were wearing black belts. Sensei tied a small red scarf to the boy's belt.

"Face *we did*, bow *we did*, Hy" sensei said.

He ran at me and was about to punch me but I blocked. I then dodged a kick but that left him open, so I round kicked him in the stomach making him fall.

"One point for round kick."

The boy got up again and we faced off again. After awhile I saw that it was 11:30 and told them I had to leave. I didn't realize how much time had passed; they weren't kidding about the phrase "time flies when you're having fun". I walked back to where we were supposed to meet and I saw my mom with a couple of bags in her hand.

"Ishbel what have you been doing? Why are you all sweaty" mom asked.

"I went to the karate dogo and got a work out" I replied.

"Oh, well lets get some lunch."

"Alright."

We both went to the small cafe and had a nice lunch and I got a bottle of water. After lunch we both went shopping. Before we knew it, it was dark, not real dark or late, it was just dark. We stood outside of a small pizza parlor. I then remembered the whole reason I came here, it was to get a coupled books that I had found on the internet; ones that might help me out with the Edward Cullen mystery. I had a few good ideas on what he was, I just needed to confirm it. Once my mom was done talking to dad on the phone I said "Mom there's a book I need to pick up, it's right around the corner."

"If it's quick I can come with you" mom said.

"No really, I'll be OK. I should be back in 15 minuets" I said.

"Are you sure you'll be alright?"

"Yes I'll be fine."

"If you're sure."

"I am."

I walked to the bookstore and bought a couple of books on vampires, my mom never understood what got me into that kind of stuff. After I got my books I walked out and as I walked I realized that I didn't know where I was.

"Damn it, out of all the places I had to get lost in, it had to be in a dark creepy alleyway" I muttered.

As I was walking I felt like someone, or something, was following me. Then as luck would have it I found myself cornered at wouldn't you know it, a dead end.

"Well, well, what do we have here" a male voice said.
