Chapter One: New Lives

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I awoke yet again to the annoying and persistent blaring of my alarm clock. Without even bothering to open my eyes, I hit the snooze button and rolled over to enjoy a few more minutes of sleep. I was in the middle of a very strange dream when the beeping started; it involved a baby with deep green eyes and brown hair. In the dream, the baby was crying and no matter what I did I couldn't calm it down. It wasn't the first time I had dreamt of this baby, but it seemed as though lately the dream was a recurring movie in my own personal theater.

After a few minutes of pondering over the dream and searching for the motivation to start my day, I pulled myself out of bed, mostly to avoid hearing my alarm clock again. Shoving all thoughts of the strange baby out of my mind I trudged into the bathroom and started my morning ritual. In the shower I let the hot water wake me up as I used my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner. Once I was clean and dry I threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and made my way downstairs for breakfast.

Instead of finding my father as I expected, I found a note on the kitchen table telling me that he had already left for work. My dad is Charlie Swan, the Chief of Police in my small home town of Forks, Washington. Charlie raised me by himself because my mom died when I was born. Charlie doesn't like to talk about my mom, Renee, but I have a picture of her in my room. Charlie always answers any questions about my mother that I have, but he gets so sad when he recalls even happy memories that I try not to bring her up.

While I gulped down a bowl of cereal I re-read my dad's note and scowled when I got to the bottom. Charlie reminded me of the fact that we were having dinner with his best friend Billy Black and his son Jacob that night. Billy is like a second father to me, and I adore him, but there is something about his son, Jacob, that doesn't sit right with me. Jacob and I get along well enough, but whenever I am around him I can hear warning bells go off in my head, and I don't understand why. Jacob is two years younger than me, so why I would see him as a threat had me a little baffled.

After finishing my breakfast I grabbed my backpack and walked out to my rusted old truck. Charlie bought my truck from Billy Black and I loved it immediately, even if it is loud and ancient. I pulled into the school parking lot a few minutes later and was quickly greeted by my two best friends. Alice, Rosalie, and I have been best friends since our first meeting in Kindergarten.

"Hi Bella," Alice said excitedly as she bounced up and down. It always amazed me how much energy Alice had so early in the morning.

"Hey Alice, Rose," I answered.

"Morning, Bella," Rose said with a yawn and an eye roll in Alice's direction.

"Guess what?" Alice asked as she continued to bounce.

"What?" I asked hesitantly, praying there wasn't sale somewhere she was planning on taking me to.

"I heard that the three new kids are starting tomorrow," Alice answered as we made our way in to the high school. Forks was a small town, so gossip was easily spread and the talk of the town this week was that a new family had moved in. The family consisted of a husband, a wife, and their three sons. According to Charlie, the husband was a doctor and he would be working at the hospital. I figured I would probably get to know the doctor fairly quickly as I am a frequent visitor of the hospital, thanks to my clumsiness.

"I am guessing that's not all you found out," Rosalie said.

"I found out their names and what grades they are in as well," Alice admitted.

"So spill," I urged.

"Okay. Emmett and Edward are twins, and they are in our grade," Alice said excitedly, "Jasper is a year older than us."

"I hope they're hot," Rosalie blurted out and I laughed.

"Oh, me too," Alice agreed.

"You guys are insane," I said as we took out seats in home room, "You know that right?"

"That's why you love us," Alice said, and I honestly couldn't disagree. The rest of the day went by quickly with no major incidents. Other than the persistent Mike Newton asking me out yet again, my day was pretty good. Before I knew it I was back in my truck making my way home.

Charlie was waiting for me when I got there, and I had to suppress a groan when he told me we were leaving for the Black's in half an hour. I didn't bother changing, but I did throw my hair into a pony tail, which had more to do with the fact that my hair was bugging me and not because I wanted to spruce up. Just as we pulled up to their house, I saw Jacob waiting at the window. He came running out of the house when he spotted us.

"Hi Bella," he said eagerly as he picked me up in a tight hug.

"Hey Jake," I replied as I tried to pry his arms off me.

"Hi Jake," My dad said, causing Jake to finally let go of me.

"Hi Charlie," Jake replied politely, "My dad is inside waiting for you." Charlie nodded a thank you in his direction and walked inside to greet his best friend, leaving me alone with Jacob.

"Do you want to go for a walk before we eat?" Jacob asked.

"Sure," I replied. The idea wasn't all that appealing, but I didn't want to be rude, either. Jacob grabbed my hand, which made me uncomfortable, and started to walk down the street.

"How are you?" Jake asked, pulling me closer.

"Fine," I replied as I tried and failed to politely and discreetly pull my hand away. We only walked a short distance before we turned around and began to head back towards Jacob's house.

"How is school?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"Boring," Jake answered, "How is it for you?"

"Boring too, but we have three new kids starting tomorrow, so that's bound to cause some excitement," I replied.

"The doctor's kids?" Jacob asked and I nodded.

"Three boys," I elaborated, "Emmett, Edward, and Jasper," and I was startled to notice fury in Jake's eyes when I looked up at him.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Fine. Just fine," Jake replied as we finally made it back to the house and he dropped my hand. Jacob walked right inside without a backward glance at me. Jake ignored me the rest of the night, so I made conversation with Charlie and Billy. After dinner Charlie and I said our goodbyes, and began the short ride back to our house.

I spent the rest of the evening doing homework and briefly wondered what could have prompted Jake's sudden mood change. I came to the conclusion that I really didn't care what was up with Jacob, and if wanted to continue ignoring me then that was fine. I went downstairs and said goodnight to Charlie before brushing my teeth and flopping down on my bed. I drifted off to sleep wondering what would happen tomorrow when the three new boys showed up at our school.

I awoke sometime in the middle of the night after dreaming yet again of a baby I could not calm.

Tossing and turning had be become my new nightly routine. We moved to Forks, Washington three days ago, and I had yet to get a good night's sleep. If it wasn't the constant rain tapping on my window it was the unusual dreams. For the past three nights I had dreamt of a distraught baby with green eyes and brown hair. These dreams left me more frustrated than anything else, because I felt like I needed to protect that baby, but I couldn't.

Neither the rain nor the dreams were the reason for my tossing and turning tonight. Tonight I was kept awake by the thoughts of the school I would be attending in the morning. I was really dreading being the new kid in a small town high school. At least I had my two brothers, Emmett and Jasper, to keep me company in the upcoming hell. They were just as thrilled I was about the move to Washington our parents forced upon us.

The three of us were in a state of disbelief when our parents informed us we were moving from our home in California to Washington. In all honesty we shouldn't have been all that surprised, because it wasn't the first time our parents had decided to move us to a new state. Whenever we moved some place new our parents were content for the first couple of weeks, and then they became restless again. It was almost as if they were searching for something they could never quite find.

We arrived in Forks on Saturday and spent all of Sunday unpacking and adjusting. My brothers and I were not forced to go to school today because our parents decided to give us one more day to settle. Carlisle, my dad, went into the hospital to meet his new colleagues while my mom, Esme, put the finishing touches on our house. I spent the day exploring the woods that surrounded our house. It was rather uneventful, although I did come upon a very interesting meadow. The meadow was beautiful, but it was the sense of déjà vu I experienced when I saw it that was interesting. I felt as though I had been there many times before, but that was impossible.

Once I arrived home from my little outing the rest of my day was spent getting ready for school. Emmett and I would be starting our junior year, while Jasper would be starting as a senior. The three of us knew we were going to be subjected to stares and gossip, because in small towns new people are very rare and treated like an exhibit at the local zoo. It was with these thoughts that I finally fell into a restless sleep. I again dreamt of the baby, but this time I managed to sleep through the night and awake to the sound of my alarm. I smacked my alarm off and quickly got ready for the day.

I made my way down stairs to where my mom was cooking breakfast; Jasper was already sitting at the table eating, and Emmett arrived a few minutes after I did. The three of us shoveled food into our mouths as our mom watched on.

"Are you boys excited for today?" Mom asked.

"No," we all replied at the same time with mouths full of food.

"Lighten up, I am sure it will be fun," Mom said, trying to get our spirits up.

"Mom, school is never fun," Emmett said.

"Especially when you're the new kid," I added, and Emmett and Jasper nodded in agreement.

"Do think we can stay in this place for the whole school year?" Jasper asked.

"I really hope so," she answered before leaving the room. My brothers and I exchanged a confused look before bringing our now empty dishes to the sink. We grabbed our bags and walked to the garage where my car was waiting. We had decided to take my Volvo because Emmett's jeep was so big and Jasper only had a motorcycle.

I drove as slowly as I possibly could, hoping to delay the inevitable, but despite my best efforts we arrived at school only a few minutes later. I took the key out of the ignition and we sat in silence trying to work up the courage to get out of the car.

"This is going to suck, isn't it?" Emmett asked as we watched the other students walk into the building.

"Probably," I answered as I reached for my bag.

We took a few more deep breaths before opening the doors and making our way into our new school.
