When Mia Grey moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect the ghost of her past to haunt her. Let alone come in the shape of Edward Cullen, the man that resembles the late Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory.

No matter how hard she tried, Mia had been unable to move past the fear of getting caught just because of her mistake.
She's certain casting a spell set the Dark Lord's radar and at any second, he could send his loyal subjects in her direction. Telling her mother would be the wisest thing to do, but it's been a few days and nothing has happened. Everything is normal, well, as normal as it can get considering her world became much more complicated when learning her friend is a vampire. The only good thing about this is that Jessica doesn't remember what happened and chose to believe she was attacked by a wild animal.
Things like these rarely happen in a small town like Forks that it led to the police department getting involved. With the chief leading the mission, the hunt for the supposed wild animal began. If only they knew this attack was linked to the creatures of the night then maybe, they wouldn't be too willing to head into the forest with those useless weapons.
For the past few days, she's been ignoring Edward and it's not because he knows her secret or is afraid of what he is. It's the fact that he was going to leave town without saying goodbye. She kept her shock on the low and chose to help his secret remain inconspicuous, and yet, he was still willing to part ways within the blink of an eye.
She has tried to brush her anger aside, but it's frustrating seeing him not aware of what he did, which means he's not apologizing. The littlest of things count and him not knowing the reason behind her change in attitude is more than enough to fully vex her.
Everything has just been hectic and filled with lies. She can't even tell Bella what really happened since that would only endanger her and with a possible war approaching, she can't afford to involve an innocent person in the mess that's her life. It's moments like these when she regrets her choices and wishes to have a time turner. Maybe then, she'd make the decision of staying at home instead of attending the terrible party. That way, she wouldn't be dealing with the consequences of her actions.
It's not like Mia regrets helping Edward. If anything, she's more than grateful for having used her ability for the greater good. She can't imagine all the gossip Jessica would spread and how many more rumors would make the Cullens an even greater group of outcasts. Edward might not mention anything about it, but she can tell the exclusion affects him more than he lets on.
As the bell rings, Mia tries ignoring her pounding headache and rubs her temples. It helps that the corridor is dim from the pouring rain and rundown lighting, allowing her to get some type of alleviation. The bell rings once again, making her wince as she now cradles the back of her head in hopes of soothing her migraine.
Maybe it's the stress of her secret being out, but ever since Halloween, her headaches have remained with no intentions of leaving. Not even painkillers are helping, which leaves her with no other option than just hope they disappear soon.
