The Human and The Vampire

Chapter 1-Forks

Bella's POV

It's September, 2004 Thursday, 9pm. My name is Isabella Swan, but I prefer Bella. I'm seventeen years old and moving to Forks by myself because I am having problems at home in Florida with my mom and step-dad Phil. My real dad Charlie, I don't see him much cos he lives in Atlanta with his new wife Rosie who has a two-year-old daughter named Lucy. So I have a new mom and a new dad who are married to my biological parents, and a half-sister. At least I will be able to see my best friend named Jacob Black. He's been my best friend since I was eight years old, we used to do everything together. It was only last week that I broke up with my boyfriend Jared who is Jacob's cousin. He visited me in Florida just to break my heart. We'd only been going out for three months. Anyways, I'm over it. I'm starting high school in Forks to graduate.

I just finished packing my big red suitcase. This had to be the eighth time I'd used it for holidays, school trips and camping. I walked downstairs with the suitcase, grabbed my coat and put it on and I kissed my mom on the cheek and hugged Phil. "Be safe Bells." Mom said as she walked out of the door with me. I got into my red truck with my suitcase in the back of the truck and I drove off.

I turned the radio on, but I couldn't get a very good signal. So I tried one of my CDs instead. Track number 18: Hurricane by 30 Seconds To Mars. I did the CD myself, it has 78 tracks on it altogether. I named the CD "Bella's Tracks". I realised that the trip from Florida to Forks was gonna last six whole hours which meant I would've arrived in Forks at 3 am Friday morning. My house number is 677. Phil and I moved everything into the house three days ago. In my house, I had a white sofa, a black TV, my old stereo, a computer desk for my laptop including a desk chair, a table, fridge, etc for the kitchen. My bedroom was a dark pink colour with a double bed with creme duvet covers and purple curtains. I also had another stereo and a desk, and desk chair for my laptop. Hurricane had finished and track 19: Whenever Wherever by Shakira had started playing.

It was three hours later, midnight. I decided to stop at a burger bar for something to eat as I hadn't eaten in four hours. I had saved up $200, enough money for food, drink, and rent to pay for my house. There was food and drink in the fridge at my house. My mom bought me some groceries for me yesterday and came back from Forks at 9pm. I grabbed $35 out of my purse, took my car key out of the egnition and got out of my truck and shut the door. I walked into Burger King and sat at a table. There were five kids sat at a table from behind me. I walked to the counter of Burger King and ordered a cheese burger, fries and a Pepsi. It cost me $24 in total. I sat in the far end of the corner, away from the five kids and ate my burger and fries.

A while later, I got into my truck and started the engine up. I drove out of the car park of Burger King and started my journey to Forks. Then I saw something strange. It was a boy dressed in black, chasing a deer. The boy caught the deer and killed it. I gasped and realised the boy was looking at me so I concentrated on my driving and drove a little faster.

Another three hours had passed and I'd finally made it to Forks. I got out of my truck and took my suitcase from out of the back of my truck. I walked to the front door of my house. I unlocked the door and walked in, shutting the door and locking it behind me. I turned the light on and took my suitcase up the stairs. I went into my bedroom and started unpacking all of my clothes. I put all of them away apart from a pair of black bottoms and a white tank top which were my pyjamas. I put my suitcase up in the loft and got dressed into my pyjamas, leaving my bra on under my white tank and my white trainer socks. I tied my long, curly brown hair up in a ponytail. I went into my bedroom, shut the bedroom door and got into my bed and fell asleep a few seconds later.
