A/N: Hey guys, yes another story. This is going to a fast-paced story I think and so far I have an outline of about 13 chapters so here's chapter one, and let's see where it takes us!

Chapter One:

BPOV

I put the pails down for a minute to wipe my sweaty hands on the side of my dirty dress. My hands ached from carrying the pails this far and I dreaded carrying them back to the village full of water.

At least I only have to fill the well, and that's only once a week.

I heaved the pails back up and continued my trek to the creek to collect the water. I watched my feet as I stepped over the branches on the ground and continued walking with my head down towards the creek.

I really should make a path so I don't trip over any of these branches.

I was so deep in thought of figuring out when I could clear the branches to form a path that I didn't notice that there was a half naked male figure standing waist deep in the creek.

"Oh!" I gasped.

That is a nice back.

At the sound of my voice, I watched as he turned around, grabbing a dagger from the rock next to him and glared at me. I took a few steps back, surprised. The pails dropped from my hands and rolled towards the creek.

I made no move to reach for them, still remembering the fact that he was holding a dagger in his hands.

"Who are you?" he asked.

I looked up at him but then averted my eyes as they drifted down to his naked chest. I looked away as I felt my cheeks heat up with embarrassment.

"I-I'm Isabella but everyone calls me Bella" I said, loud enough so he could hear me.

I felt self-conscience as here was a probably fully naked man standing in front of me, albeit standing waist-deep in water, and I was all by myself. I remember my father telling me to always take a friend with me when I go to the creek but today Alice was busy and couldn't come and the well was out of water so I figured what harm could it do?

Obviously the one day Alice doesn't come with me a naked man decides to bathe in the river.

"What are you doing here Bella?" he asked.

I looked down at the pails that were laying on the ground just near the water's edge.

"Getting water for the well in the village"

Stupid, stupid! He could be a rogue for all I know and I just told him that there was a village near by? For all I know he could very well be Black Heart, the 'ruthless killer' as the rest of village named him. I've heard all the rumours about him.

"Well by all means, don't let me stop you" he gestured with his hands towards the pails.

Internally berating my stupidity, I slowly walked forwards and leaned down, filling the pails one by one, with fresh, cold water. As I was doing this, I glanced over at the man out of the corner of my eye. He was putting his head under the water then coming back up and scrubbing at his face.

He has a nicely shaped face.

Once I had filled the pails, I stood back up and saw he was watching me closely.

"Are you going to stay there staring at me all day?" I asked.

"Well, I was just wondering if you would mind if I just walked out of the water and got dressed or if it would make you uncomfortable" he mused.

I felt my face heat up again.

I had never seen a man naked before but I have heard rumours from other women in the village. I have a vague picture of what a man looks like down there but have never seen one for real.

"Sorry, I'll just be going then" I turned around to give him his privacy and started walking back to the village.

"Wait!" he called out.

I stopped with my back turned just in case he was out of the water and naked.

"Would you stay and talk to me for a while please?" he asked.

I could hear the rustling of clothing so I stayed with my back turned away from him as he got dressed.

"I really should be getting back to the village" I said.

I could sense his presence behind me but I still stayed with my back turned to him.

"Please?" he reached out and touched my shoulder, causing me to jump and lose some of the water from the pails.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" he said.

"Will you please turn around?"

I slowly turned around, my stomach in a jumble of twists and turns.

Why is he making me feel like this?

My palms were sweaty so I placed the pails on the ground and discreetly wiped my hands on my dress.

"Why should I stay? For all I know you could be Black Heart" I said.

His face tightened.

"Would you be afraid if I said I was?" he asked, softly.

I gasped, thanking God the pails were already on the ground so I wouldn't drop them, and stumbled back a few steps.

He made no move to step towards me.

"Y-your Black Heart?"

My heart was racing and my palms were getting sweaty again. I gripped the sides of my dress.

He nodded his head while still looking at me.

Forgetting about the pails, I turned.

"I-I have to go"

Thoughts of what the people in the village had said of this killer ran through my mind.

And here I was all by myself in the forest with him. If I scream, the village will be too far away for them to hear me.

"No, wait!" I had walked a few steps when I felt his hand reach upon my shoulder.

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked, fearfully.

I felt the weight of his hand leave my shoulder and I turned around to look into the eyes of Black Heart. His eyes were the colour green, like the grass that we stood upon. He didn't look like a killer right now.

"Why would you think I would kill you?" he looked disgusted at the very idea and I was now left feeling confused.

I remembered the gossip of the men about Black Heart. He was ruthless and killed whoever got in his way. Even defenceless children. Anger stole my body, making me want to hit out at the man in front of me.

"Because you kill whoever you want, even women and children. Why would you not kill me?" I said a slight hint of anger on my tongue.

My throat closed up and my stomach tightened in fear as I saw the look of anger and rage on his face.

He took a step towards me.

"I've never killed a women or a child in my entire life!" he roared.

I stepped back, startled.

"Bu-but, everyone in the village-"

"Everyone in the village lied! Who told you I killed women and children?" he stepped towards me but upon looking at the fear etched on my face, stopped advancing towards me.

He took a few steps back, took a deep breath and I watched as his shoulders sagged, as if in defeat.

"I swear I have never killed a women or a child in my life" he looked up at me, an earnest look on his face.

I looked at him suspiciously.

"Why would everyone say that you killed women and children then?"

He let out a bitter laugh.

"Most people will believe anything that someone says, even if it's not the truth"

I stared at him for a few moments.

Black Heart was the most wanted person in the Forks Kingdom. There were Wanted posters with his name all over the place.

And here he is right in front of me.

"I swear on my life that I have never killed a women or child" he said, putting his hand over his heart.

He looked like he was telling the truth. Years of my father being a man of keeping the peace in the village has led me to be able to tell when people lie.

And right now I believe Black Heart.
