i swatted at the annoying sunlight and twisted in my bed. Could it not see I was trying to get some sleep ? Uh, mr. big bright and annoying , eyes closed , means me sleep ! I stormed out of bed to the curtains and ripped them down in a fit of rage.

When the sun hit my body full strength, I screamed and fell backwards. "The sun ... It burns !!!"

"MOM ! Audree's being herself again !" Becca called from the room next door.  

"Steph , are you alright ?" 

"No.. I can't turn off the sun .." I pouted and glared into the intense sunlight. I stopped glaring when there was a beeping outside. I sprang up and walked to my window and sure enough, Frankie was waving like a mad man outside next to her hippie van. I waved back to her, put up one finger and disappeared to the bathroom. 

A few minutes later, I emerged in a pair of jeans and a red t-shirt with my grey hoodie. I wrapped my still wet hair in a messy bun and stuffed on my Chucks. Looking in the replaced ful length mirror, I frowned. Sighing, I put on my indian bracelets, a pair of hoops and applied lip gloss. Checking my eye-liner (which was the only other make-up i was allowed to wear) and grabbing my handbag, I raced through the house to the car outside. 

"Hey Frankie !" I screamed as I jumped on her, pulling her into a tight hug. 

"Hey Steph !! I got a surprise for you !" She said, walking with me hanging on her neck to the passenger side of the vehicle, opening the door and putting me in. 

"What ?! Don't tell me ... Wait, yes tell me...I mean, no I don't want to know if it's something bad...but what if it's good ? OH, TELL ME, TELL ME !" 

She smirked that smirkand took a left. Wait, when did we start driving ? "You'll see." 

I pouted at her and folded my arms, turning to look out the window. It was lightly drizzling outside as the scenery passed by in a ray of green and brown. I sighed and rested my head against the cool glass. It's been an entire month here in this cold-ass town and my parents still haven't let up on me. I mean, come on . I don't want to be here ! It sucks here ! I miss being Audree , I miss being me ! I sighed again. 

"Everytime you sigh, you loose an ounce of blood." I heard Frankie murmur, making me jump. Sometime's it's really hard remembering that's she's there. She can be so silent .... 

"It doesn't matter. I WANT to die. This life is stupid ! I'm ready to trade up." I complained, turning in her direction. 

"It's not soo bad here. I mean, it's cold and it's private. I love it here." She replied, stopping at a red light. 

"Yeah, well, you're creepy." 

She grinned and did a cabbage patch then pumped her fists in the air. "Oh yeah baby ! Creep-tacular !" 

I rolled my eyes and turned to the road, just in time to see a familiar Mercedes pull up beside us. I wound down the window as he did with his. "Hey."

"Good monring, Steph, creature." The suave and deep voice said in an amused tone. He winked at me and full on laughed when Frankie sped off. 

I wonder what's their beef...

"Hey, Frankie ... "

"HERE WE ARE !" She screamed. 

I looked out the window and saw nothing in sight. Only a clearing,which is weird 'cause wasn't there buildings all around jus a few minutes ago ? I heard her door shut and hastily reached for my own. When my sneakers caught pavement, something cold ran down my spine. I shivered and hugged myself. Damn Forks. I looked around but couldn't see Frankie. Then again, she always disappeared. 

"Hey, Frankie !" I called, "Frankie ! Where'd you go ? Frankie !" I put my hood over my head and stuffed my hands in my pockets, carefully walking on the icy road, around the car to peer in to the trees all around us. Maybe she went in there ? "Frankie?"

A figure appeared, silohuetted against the trunk of a tree dead ahead. I squinted my eyes and was just able to make out Frankie's neon pink highlights before she waved me over and disappeared into the shadow of the closely packed trees. How did she get over there so fast ? I jogged across the clearing and made it to the trees. It sure was dark in there. Hanging onto the trunk of a tree and carefully stepping over a huge root, I jumped to the dirt below and looked around. 

 I wanted to call out for Frankie, but something about this place made me stay quiet. I trudged on, over overgrown roots, fallen branches, and sometimes having to climb trees cause the ground was too muddy. Muddy + Audree = NEVER ITCHES !! I was currently on a tree branch, looking all around for any sign of my friend. The deeper I got, the more lost I felt, the colder I felt. 

"Frankie ?! " I shouted. 

It echoed for a while and then the sounds of footsteps below me. I looked down and sure enough, there was Frankie, looking at me like I was crazy. "What are you doing up there?"

"There was mud on the ground !" I pointed to said offender, "But where were you ?"

"I was waiting on you. Figures you would have gotten yourself lost. Steph..."

"Yeah ?"

"You need to come down. You'll get hurt up there." She said, shaking her head at me and putting her hands on her slim hips. 

"But it's muddy ~ !" I whined but hurriedly came down when she gave me her 'I'm-not-joking' look. I was careful to avoid the mud and when I was infront of her, I smiled. She smiled as well and grabbed my hand, pulling me into mud, "FRANKIE !" I screeched. 

"Oops." She giggled, skipping away into the trees. 

"Come back here !" I went to run after her, but they're was a jolt down my spine and through the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of eyes vanish ...
