Chapter 1

Cries. I could hear terrorized cries everywhere I turned.

Someone passed me running trying uselessly to escape flames that by now had envelopped his whole body.

I reached out with my hand wanting to help him somehow, despite knowing I could do nothing; he continued running not even noticing my presence. The desperate voice of a woman who called his son, the smell of burnt flesh.

Everything felt so real it was impossible for me not to feel overwhelmed by the same sensations that had hit me in the past; colours were too vivid, the sounds too real to be a fantasy.

The smell of death was recognisable from miles, I could feel it following me, I could see its shadow behind the trees and the bushes.

It observed me, laughed at me. Its laugh as clear as the sound of a thousand bells in my mind. Its glare perfored my skin making me shiver. I shook strongly my head trying to shoo the feeling of its finger that pulled me towards it and its evil aura.

There was nothing I could possibily do to escape its grip. Despite this I kept struggling, not accepting the idea of it ending the same way over and over again.

A noise woke me from my trance. I breathed deeply trying to relax my muscles, tense from anxiousness and fear. When I could finally get away from the feeling of powerlessness and terror I rested my head on the trunk of the tree I was curently sat on sighing deeply.

I had tried to do it again and nothing had changed, as usual.

Everything repeated unchanged leaving me with the sensation I could do nothing to change the past that tormented me every single day of my life.

I turned my head in the direction of the noise and I saw it was an elk looking for food. It was not a surpise it wasn't afraid of me. I had understood a long time behind animals didn't percieve my presence as threatening. I lived peacefully with all the creatures of the places where I passed my time. Strange thing, given my nature.

I looked at it curious and got off the branch where I had got comfortable some hour pior. Once on the ground I approached it, it stopped eating for an instant to observe me. Once it ascertained my harmlessness went back sinking its muzzle in the grass.

I got slowly near it caressing its back with my hand and scratching behind its ear getting pleased verses as a response. I smiled still shaken by my previous mental experience in my memories.

Suddently another noise captured my attention. I turned my head narrowing my eyes and forrowing my brows. The elk pricked up its ears standing still. I patted its back whispering -You go that way, I'll cover you.- pointing in a direction.

It seemed to understand me as it ran away. I walked slowly in the wood hiding from time to time behind a tree looking around. Then I thought observing from a height might have helped me, so I climbed a tree untill I reached an enough high point from which I could check if there were any kind of danger in the immediate vicinity. I crouched down looking around with sospect. It might have been someone who had decited to take a walk in the wood or some other animal looking for food. I leaned on my hands and bent forward to look better ahead of me untill, isolating myself from the noises of the trees, I heard some chattering. Curious I got near jumping from tree to tree. Once I was near enough a wonderfull smell hit me. I took a deep breath trying to make it soak my lungs and to fix it in my mind.

It felt like being drunk, my body light and foreign to the outside world.

I swallowed but not exhaled afraid it would escape my senses to never come back.

I stayed completely still on that branch trying to mantain that awesome sensation. When I could hear no more voices I opened my eyes and knew exactly what I had to do.

Trying not to lose the trail I ran to the tree where I had left all my belongings and in a flash I was running. I reached a car. It was silver, followed by a bigger one. From such a distance I should have heard the heartbeat of the passengers, but I heard none, I could only hear a girl's voice. More and more curious I decited to follow them to the end of their trip.

I had decited to leave, anyway. And maybe This would turn out to be an interesting adventure.

The trip lasted a couple of days and there were no stops, something that aroused my suspicions of them not being a normal family, at least not a human family.

The trail never died down, so I kept on jumping from tree to tree and running at a sicurity distance. Some time later it was clear to me which was their destination. Washington. Or more specifically Forks, a town hidden in a thick wood.

I could comprehend their choice, for a vampire it was preferable not to attract too much attention and to live far from the big cities. From a tree top I scrutinized the landscape; not bad to be a town not known by most people. Most of the houses were concentrated in a small group in what I ipotised to be the centre of the townn; the others were disperded in the wood, at great distance from eachother. Not far I could see a beach next to a cliff. Even from such a distance I could smell a not so pleasant scent which forced me to turn up my nose. I would go there soon, but currently I was too interested in fining out the source of the heavenly smell that convinced me to follow those cars all the way there.

I crouched down again and stared ahead. They had stopped in the middle of the wood, in front of a high white building, whose most of the external walls were made of glass.

Really a nice house.

They began getting off the cars and taking their luggages out of the boot. The first one I saw was a man in his thirty, blond hair, well built; he was looking around with a smile on his face. His beauty was extraordinary, his eyes honey gold. A woman reached him and wrapped her arm around his waist. She too was beautiful, her long dark hair fell on her back and a bright smile that shone on her lips. Then I analised one by one the other components of the family. There were two girls and three guys. They seem to be the same age, but their phisical aspect was really different. The girls couldn't be more different from eachother. One tall with long blond hair, the other shorter with dark short hair. The guys were as much different. Two of them seemed to be more slender but still well built, one was blond and the other with darker hair; the third had the physique of a football player, tall and muscled, with large shoulders and dark black hair.

All of their eyes had the same shade of gold, confirming my initial idea of them being a coven of vampires. The colour was probably due to a special diet, bsed on animal blood, I had seen it already in other parts of the world.

I wandered which one of them had such a nice smell thinking that I would find out just studying them, possibly without being noticed.

The dark haired girl was looking around studying the surroundings; suddently her eyes unfocused and her body went stiff. It lasted just a few seconds, then she was back to smiling, but not before throwing a glance in my direction. Afraid of being discovered I tried to get back into hiding, but still near enough to watch them. I saw her looking through the leaves before turning and walking towards the blond boy taking his arm and pulling him into the building followed by the rest of the family. I gave a sigh of relief for not being noticed. I stayed there for some time, waiting them to settle down in the new house, then I got near again trying to find out who actracted me so much without even knowing. I advanced without making any noise, I walked through the garden and around the building studying the disposition of the rooms through the glass. A blow of wind dragged a wave of that wonderful smell that would have gotten me on the ground senseless if I still could be. Led by that trail I looked into a window on the first floor and I found my treasure.

The thinnest guy with dark hair was the bearer of the most alluring scent I had ever smelled. I decited there and then I would study him and maybe, at some point I could introduce. He turned around abruptly and, freightened I ran in the woods, this time to be as far as possible from that house so that they could not find me.

It was now evening, so I decited to explore the surroundings.

At this time there would be less people around and I wouldn't be noticed, at least I hoped so.

I wandered through the streets, entering in every alley. I arrived to the beach I had seen earlier that day from the tree top. Once there I breathed deeply letting myself being flooded with the smell of the sand and the sound of the crashing waves.

I was really enjoying those sensation when someone approached me -Hi.. Who are you?- I turned around and smiled to the boy who looked at me with a raised eyebrow and his arms crossed on his chest. His skin was dark, with dark eyes and long black hair. -My name is Athena.- he titled his head to the side and continued to look curious -You're from around here? I don't think I've ever seen you..- I shook my head -No, I actually arrived today. I noticed this place and thought I'd see it closely. I hope it's not a problem...- i forrowed my brows. In that place the unpleasant smell was stronger and I had to fight the urge to turn up my nose. -I get it.. This place is La Push. I live here. I'm Jacob, by the way.- I looked at him impressed -Wow, it is really a nice place...- he got near and extended his hand for me to shake. I stared at it, biting my lip, unsure if I should have shaken it or not. Then I extended my own and shook it. I took it back quickly and said -Nice to meet you.- he looked at me -I don't know where you come from, but here is quite cold at night, you should wear something warmer if you don'twant to catch a cold.- I answered with a smile -Maybe you're right. Thanks.- then I turned around and I started to walk back into the wood. -It was realy nice meeting you, Jacob. - he then cried -Me too... Maybe I could show you around here one of this days!- he sank his hand in the pockets of his jeans looking down. I nodded -We'll see, Bye!- I shook my hand and started to walk further into the woods to come back in town.

I shook my head with a smile thinking back to the meeting I just had, then I crouched on the tree from which I had observed the newcomers, ready to face my first night in the new environment.
