Reposted because I just realized some might not know what SPD stands for.
When your home becomes a warzone, it's often thought you must stand and fight to protect what is yours. But what if it wasn't yours, to begin? If you look into the past of our mysterious little town, all clues point to it being the Originals' home. And I'm not just saying that to avoid getting killed by psycho Millennium-year-old vampires.
As someone who spent months stuck under a sire bond to the supposed villain/bad guy. You begin to understand things that weren't always there. And truth be told, they're just as much the victims as we are. Besides, monsters aren't born, they're made. There will always be two sides to a story, you just have to be willing to listen. Who are you to say theirs doesn't matter?
Who knows, it might be the remains of the sire bond talking, but I believe in looking at the underneath. Even if most of my time was spent either running errands, spying on my kid brother's friends, or playing bodyguard. I felt as if I truly connected with the wayward siblings. Every one of them is different yet so similar to people I've known all my life. Looking at them from an outsider's perspective. I can only conclude that they are still human too. Well, somewhere deep, deep, deep down. But you get the idea. We all make mistakes.
Either way, I know I don't want to be in the middle of this. So with the help of our local sheriff's department, I was able to move far, far from home. I spent the past two years studying in the Seattle Police Department Academy, but the city wasn't doing it for me. So right after graduation, I applied at the Forks Sheriff's Department for the position of Sergeant. It's a wonder what a great sense of smell, sight, and compulsion can do for one's outstanding reputation. As a pessimist I don't hold much hope, seeing as I am new.
After meeting with the local chief of the Forks Sheriff Department, I was content with being given two-month probation. It would be a shocker to anyone that a 24-year-old who's only been in the academy for 2 years can have such high recommendations. Coming from old money doesn't help either. And I 100% agree with them. Who in their right mind would ever believe it? At least I had two months to prove myself. I start first thing early Monday. I adore this small woodsy town with plenty of space to run wild. Especially now that I have a hang of my wolfy self, though it still comes with great pain just not as much as before.
I am looking forward to the full moons in Forks. For the first time in forever, I won't have to lock myself in the cellar. The house is gorgeous, it helps that the walls surrounding it are tall too. But just in case, my new home does have a cellar big enough to move around in.
