Dear Journal,
When you live in a housefull of vampires it's sometimes hard to get away when they never sleep but I did. I made up this absurd story of Charlie missing me alot and agreed to sleepover at his house. I was so desperate to get out I agreed to make him his favorite meal of Grandma Swans stroganoff and help him with laundry.
Making the dinner was the worst of it I will admit. Looking at the raw ingredients going into this meal made me almost sick to my stomach but I grinned and beared it. I was very careful though when we sat down to eat. Periodically I would take food and hide it in my napkin that lay across my lap, Charlie was oblivious to that fact and seemed very happy to have me there.
This whole charde was so I could go out this evening and try to pick up some clues of my own on this hunter. My daughter may be in danger along with the rest of us and I know Edward would never allow me to do this by myself. Maybe I'd be good at tracking but I seriously doubt it. The hard part would be not going near the gigantic, whte house to pick up the scent. I was sure someone would smell or sense me outside but I will try regardless.
All of Charlies 3 helpings of food made him extremely exhausted and earlier than I thought. I told him good night and then threw some of his clothes in the washer.
"It's now or never", I said softly to myself.
I ducked out of the house quietly and quickly without making even the smallest amount of noise. I ran quickly throught the dense Forks forest until I was a mile or so from our house. I started panicking and thinking of excuses for me to be here but came up blank. If someone were to see me then I'd simply tell the truth. They'd never look down on me for it and I know it. I made my move and ran closer and closer to the house and hid myself behind a tall oak tree.
All of a sudden I heard a loud rustling coming from a nearby bush and a deep ferocious growl. I stood silent, still and frozen when suddenly a tall dark figure made it's way towards me slowly. I gasped and I know he saw the panic in my eyes and fear in my trembling lips. Now I wish someone would come and save me but no one was here but me and the intruder.
