The American Nightmare

Chapter 1: New Girl in Town

It was a cold, winter day in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The year was 1678, and a young man named John Proctor was nearing his twentieth birthday. Now, John wasn't just any young man. John Proctor was the most popular man in his entire village, and every girl within a several mile radius was in love with him. Despite his hordes of admirers, John Proctor remained an aloof, mysterious, and rather isolated figure in the village. He was devilishly handsome, somewhat taller than the norm and had defined 8 pack abs. Even in the cold of winter, his shirt was left open because of his intense vanity. The women all went wild when John would walk in, he was dastardly, charming and seemed to never stop flirting.
However, that all changed the day a mysterious stranger came to Roxbury. Y/N Lexenbury was a beautiful and innocent woman. And John was the devilishly tall and handsome bad boy. When Y/N first stepped off the boat to Roxbury, her eyes made contact with a strangely glowing character. He smiles at her and she blushes. A ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and the stranger's skin seemingly sparkled. Moving faster than light he disappeared.
Throughout the small town, rumors abounded.
"I heard she was exiled from England," says Cheryl Blossom with a judgemental stare.
"I bet she's a whore." Bella whispers back.
"She's beautiful," Edward mumbles, promptly earning a slap from Bella.
"EDWARD, Look at her ripped skirts and dirty hair. How dare you call her beautiful!"
"She's probably poor!" Cheryl rolls her eyes.
As Y/N walks through the crowded square she beams at Edward earning a death glare from Bella and Cheryl. As she stops to set her bags down for a moment, Alice Cullen strolls up to her confidently.
"You must be new here, what's your name?" She seems friendly, but her eyes seem cold and her skin shimmers strangely, almost like the mysterious stranger from before.

"My name's... Y/N" she says softly.
"I would avoid Edward if I were you, Y/N, Bella's become very... possessive."
"Edward?" she asks.
"The man you smiled at coming into town. Just a little warning for you, Bella will quite literally kill you if you do that again."
"Which one is Bella?"
"The short mousey looking girl that twitches."
"And the red haired girl? She seemed nice."
"That's Cheryl Blossom. Her family is the richest in town, I wouldn't mess with her either. You know how money goes to a person's head."
"I wouldn't, actually. I am very poor and destitute. I am just a little girl alone in this world."
"I meant with other people, try to keep up."
"Oh... I'm.. sor." Y/N says, looking downward.
"Alice," a manly voice interrupts from behind. Y/N turns around to face the tall speaker with long brown hair.
"Jacob," Alice replies with a scowl.
"Be nice to her, she's new here and doesn't understand," He grins.
"She has to learn somehow. We do things differently around here."
"What's... going on here...?" Y/N replies
"Nothing at all," replies Jacob with a smile. "What do you say I show you around town, loca?"
