Bella had arrived home from school as police officers were leaving her house. All evening, Bella's mother was tense and stiff. Every movement seemed to cause panic for the woman. Bella was worried until her mother decided to drop the bomb.

"You are moving to Forks with your father," Renee said over diner. "You are leaving tonight."

Bella's jaw dropped at the sudden statement. Bella's mother had been quiet all night and now she was being sent off to Forks to live with her father. Forks is where Bella was born. Her mother had died giving birth to her and she was adopted by Charlie and Renee Swan who couldn't have children of their own.

"What; why is this happening?" Bella asked, her mind reeling from this news. She loved her father and she loved Forks but why was her mother suddenly shipping her off to live with her father.

It didn't seem fair to Bella. She wouldn't have the chance to say goodbye to her friends, or her teachers. Her mother had been a wreck since random killings started over a month ago. They started out as a monthly thing and became more frequent in occurrence. Someone would go missing or turn up drained of their blood.

The people of Arizona were freaking out and pointing fingers to anyone and everyone. If someone began acting weird for some reason, fingers would be pointed at them.

Around the times the killings started, Bella's mother began setting crazy rules for Bella; like the other parents did. But it was still annoying to not have any freedom just because someone was randomly people in the woods nearby. It would be as sporadic as once a week to a few times a week.

No one could make sense of the mysterious anomaly. They could not figure out what creature was doing this. The attacks were vicious and animal like but held a human like feel that baffled and terrified. Bella felt chills down her spine as she read about the attacks, they were scary but something about them left her feeling odd.

"Mom? Can't I wait until tomorrow?" Bella asked. "I need to say bye to Jackie and Beth."

But no matter what, Bella could not convince her mother to allow her goodbyes, so once they were done eating, Bella was on an airplane to Forks. Bella frowned as she put her head against the window. She didn't understand her mother's urgency to get Bella out of Forks. Did it have something to do with the police officer who was at their house earlier.

As the plane landed in Port Angeles, she felt her ears popping at the pressure.

Charlie drove them home and left Bella to settle on her own. It was after midnight and Bella sunk into bed and fell into a deep sleep. She was starting school in the morning. Charlie had given her the option of waiting until Wednesday but she was too angry to stay at home and look at him. She just wanted to get out of the house and ignore him.

Bella woke up and got ready for school. She closed her bedroom window and frowned. Whenever she fell asleep, she would wake up to find her window was wide open.

As Bella started her first day of school, nothing significant happened. There were five other new kids and they were mysterious. Pale, gold eyed and oddly familiar in an unknown way. Bella tried not to stare at them as they picked at but never at their food.

Bella ate her food and made small talk with her new classmates. Things seemed normal. In biology class, Bella sat next to Edward; he stared at her like she confused and complexed him in several ways. He spoke to her casually but it was like he was frustrated by something about her.

"How do you like Forks?" he asked.

"It's wet," she'd respond. "And cold."

That night, Bella was in the kitchen having a bedtime snack when she heard Charlie's cell phone go off. He answered and after a few seconds, was out of bed and rushing out the door.

"Bella, I need to go into the station, I'll see you tomorrow," Charlie took off out the door and straight to his car. Bella stared after him confused. This mustn't be normal because he looked completely freaked out.

When Bella arrived to school the next day; she was almost old news because a dead body had been found in the woods drained of blood. Bella's jaw dropped. This had to be a joke! This is why she'd been sent out of Arizona and now it was happening again.

The Cullens' seemed to have a strange posture that day. It seemed like they were trying to blend but not draw attention. Bella dismissed it and went on about her day.

After school, Charlie announced that they were going to La Push. He needed to speak to Billy about something important.

Jacob and Bella went out back and talked about the good old days when they used to make mud puddles and dare each other to shove ants up each others noses.

"Hey, it isn't my fault you did it and they bit you!" Jacob defended.

"The bites swelled and I couldn't breath out of my nose for a week!" Bella laughed, remember how much it burned.

"Did you hear about that murder?" Jacob asked.

"Sure, everyone is talking about it. I heard it was an animal attack," Bella whispered.

"There are people on the reservation who think the Cullens' did it," Jacob laughed.

Bella stared at him confused for a second. The Cullens! Sure they were a weird family but Bella doubted they were capable of murder.

Jacob launched into a bunch of legends that sent chills down Bella's spine. They gave her a creepy, odd feeling like she should be scared of the boy in front of her. That was crazy because they'd known each other since she was a baby. He wouldn't hurt her.

Bella went home and showered for bed. As she curled into bed, she dismissed her thoughts about vampires, werewolves and other mythical creatures.

When she woke up she could feel cold air around her. She took a breath of cold air and shivered.

Was her window open?

Bella yawned and stretched, her hand hitting cold, hard and wet ground.

Bella's heart rate accelerated and her breath hitched in her throat as she opened her eyes.

Bella lay outside in the middle of the woods by a campsite. A camp fire blazed off to her side and the stars dotted the sky beautifully as smoke from the fire danced in the night air.

Bella sat up and felt her hand hit a puddle of something wet. She looked around and felt bile rise and her stomach clench.

She was surrounded by dead bodies. There were three of them and they had bite makes over them. Bella hoped the might be alive but they were too grey and limp to be alive.

Bella looked down at herself and noticed her clothes, unlike those around her, weren't blood stained and tattered. She had no bite makes. She picked up a mirror from the ground and looked at herself in the mirror. She had blood running down her chin and in her teeth.

Bella clutched her stomach and violently threw up. She stared horrified at the amount of blood that had come out of her mouth. Blood that didn't belong to her. Blood she had killed for.
