Waylon Forge had always been a kind, hard-working man. Being best friends with chief of police, Charlie Swan, and a resident of Forks his entire life had proven that.
The dock was quiet, the only sounds being the splash of water against the old boats and the faint music from Waylon’s walkman. The man was sitting in his old boat, drinking as he scraped the paint off. He turned to look at his dog on the dock, but he’s nowhere to be seen.
“Jerry?” He takes his headphones off, “Come on, Jerry, you old mutt.”
As he stands up, he sees a leg sticking out of the bush by the side of the water. He pulls, only to find it is disconnected. He falls backwards, rocking the boat as he looks in horror at what is left of his dog.
He quickly stands to untie the boat and pushes off the dock, floating a little away from the rickety wood. His breath is short as he looks around at the trees on the bank when suddenly his boat sways harshly. Behind him, crouched on the tip of his boat is a man. A very very pale man with blond hair, deep red eyes and a deadly smirk.
“How- how did you do that?” Waylon’s eyes are wide, his heart racing in fear of this predator perched on his boat like a cat.
“Always the same inane questions.” His voice is strong, smooth like silk, with a dangerous undertone, “‘What do you want?’”
Waylon turns, trying to get back to the dock, away from the strange man when a beautiful pale woman with flaming red hair flashes onto the other end of his boat as she pulls it closer to the dock where a man with deep olive skin and black hair is standing. All three of these new people are barefoot, in threadbare clothes.
“‘Why are you doing this?’” she taunts.
Their voices were like sirens, luring the human in even when he knew he should leave.
“James, let's not play with our food.”
The dark-haired man leaned forward, watching the group. The dock was soon filled with screams as James and the woman descended upon him.
Waylon Forge was dead before his cries even finished echoing across the night.

“So, you’re telling me that Jake’s story is true?”
Bella was sitting on the edge of her bed, hugging her pillow while she looked at her brother, “The Cullen’s are vampires? The Quileute are wolves?”
Alex sighed and messed with his hair, “Yeah. I know it sounds crazy, but, Bell’s, it’s true. I saw the proof with my own eyes. They sparkle! They sparkle like diamonds in the sun!”
Bella looked incredulous before it slowly morphed into an expression of understanding, “That’s how they got to us so fast. During the accident.” Alex nods as Bella stands up, “But it still makes no sense! How is this possible? The supernatural don’t exist. Werewolves don't exist, vampires don’t exist!”
She’s at her computer now, pushing Allex off of her chair to sit and cursing how slow it is. Her google search quickly turns up even more proof of what they had known and she turns to Alex, “We’re so dead, Alex. They’re real vampires! How come they are at school? They could kill someone! Are they crazy?”
Alex stood behind her, glaring as he rubbed his side from where he hit the ground, “Yeah. It’s insane”
“Wait wait back up, what did you mean by sparkle? They burn, don't they?”
Alex shrugged, “I don’t know, Jasper didn’t seem to know the reason they sparkled either. He just brought me up the mountain and then stood there like a disco ball.”
Bella was staring into the distance behind her brother, “Wow.”
Alex grunted in agreement as he threw himself on top of Bella’s purple bed, “I think I'm just gonna sleep here tonight, Isabella, it’s been a crazy few days.”
She came to lay on the other side of the bed, “Have you talked to Jasper since?”
“Not outside of class, no. I mean, it's crazy, but it's also kind of cool, right? Like, what else could be real that we think is myth? When he showed me, I don’t think it really kicked in with what he was saying, but I don’t think they’d hurt us.”
“It doesn’t seem like they’ve killed anyone, right? No mysterious murders around here.”
Alexander quickly sat up with wide eyes, “The animal attack! Didn’t dad say there was an attack and they couldn’t find what did it? What if it’s vampires?”
Bella sat up too, “It’s possible, but do you think it's the Cullen’s?”
“I don’t know.”
With that, Alex turned off the lamp and got under the blanket, saying goodnight to his sister as she did the same.

The next day was a rare type for Forks. It was sunny. When lunch came around, Bella and I found ourselves outside at a picnic table with Jessica. Half the people were wearing shorts, which was crazy, it’s still so cold!
“They’re not here.” I look up from my food to see Jessica on the grass looking up at Bella, “Whenever the weather is nice, the Cullen’s disappear. Dr. and Mrs. Cullen takes them out camping to enjoy the weather or something.”
Bella and I look at each other, even more proof. She nods but before she can say something, an excited Angela comes running up to the three of us.
“I’m going to prom with Eric!” She squeals.
I smile, “Congratulations! I know you were wanting to.”
Her smile is contagious enough that even Bella has a small one as Angela turns to her, “I just asked him, I took control!”
She hugs Bella before looking at the both of us again, “Are you sure you two have to go out of town?”
“It's a, uh-”
“-a family thing, we have to go visit our mom.”
Angela sits beside me as Jessica stands, brushing herself off, “Oh my god, we need to hit Port Angeles before the good dresses get cleaned out!” she looks hopefully at Bella and I, “Will you guys please come?”
“Yeah!” Angela chimes in, “We need your opinions!”
“Sure,” I shrug, “I’ve got nothing else to do.” I bump into my sister's shoulder, “Plus, we haven't been able to see Port Angeles yet, right?”
She looks uncomfortable at the prospect of spending an afternoon shopping but finally nods, “Yeah, that sounds… fun.”
Jessica and Angela squeal before turning to each other to talk about what dresses they hope to find. It will be a good night.
