{ 01 } NEWMOON/ECLIPSE

The drive into Forks was pretty calm nothing more than mild traffic. As soon as I drove into town I saw how a small fog covered the town making it look like some sort-of secret.

Rain started pouring slowly ; making me lose sight of the cars in front of me. I parked on the curb searching for the sheriffs station on my phone.
"Ok here we go."

I turned my signals and started driving. Raising the volume up on the radio. I pressed hard on the accelerator trying to get there sooner.

My phone slipped off its stand; I reached down to pick it up only to look up and see a huge wolf creature on the road. My car started skidding on the street stopping harshly as I pressed on the brakes. "JESUS FUCkk," I yelled gasping for air. I ran my fingers through my hair as I looked out.

A guy came out of his car slowly approaching me realizing it was him who I almost crashed into. I felt a pain on my cheek looking at the mirror only to see the seatbelt had burned my face a little. Suddenly tears were forming in my eyes.

"No no stop Aria Jesus get a hold of yourself for fucks sake." I said as the guy started walking up to my window.

"Hey there are you ok?" the man asked.

"Y-yes I'm so sorry I swear I saw something it must've been the rain blocking my view. I really am sorry," I said with a shaky voice.
"It's okay really just watch out for the rain alright be careful," the man said. I gave him a quick nod and rolled my window up. I slammed my head against the steering wheel as I was relieved he didn't call the cops.

I let out a deep breath and went on my way to the station. What a great start.... I parked in-front of the station pulling down the mirror to fix my hair. I fixed the collar of my shirt trying to look a bit presentable.

I walked up to the desk looking straight at the old lady in front of me. 

"Good afternoon, Do you know where I can find Sheriff Swan?" I asked.

"Straight that way first office on your left,"the desk lady said pointing to my right. I gave her a small smile and made my way. I grasped the ends of my shirt as I walked into the office. "Sheriff Swan?"

"Ah yes Arabella right?"

"Yup," I said.

"Please sit down," he said pointing to the seat. I took a seat on the chair most comfortable as I moved my zipper up and down.

"Is everything alright?" he said pointing to my cheek. I had totally forgotten about it as I started to feel the sting from the cut.

"Oh yeah this its just a small scratch," I said nervously.

"So how are you liking the weather here in Forks so far?" he asked. Finally looking up,"Uhh....well the weather looks.....interesting," I responded. "That's good well before you get settled I just wanted to let you know that a boy named Jacob will stop by your house, same age as you I believe maybe a year younger but he'll show you around for a bit if you don't mind,"Charlie said.

"Oh yeah thats fine," I said while getting up.

Charlie got up as well walking towards the door. "Also Charlie is fine if you don't mind," he said. I smiled and nodded.
"I actually have a daughter your age maybe you can be friends; Are you planning on completing your junior year at forks high?"Charlie asked.

"Oh well maybe; I'm still processing everything and yeah perhaps I could be friends with your daughter," I said smiling. " No worries don't feel like your being rushed Bella will actually be coming up here in just a few weeks; she's out and about with her boyfriend," he added. I smiled and started walking towards the door.

"One more thing."

"Yes?"

"You look just like her," he said.

I looked up and smiled. "Thank you."
