Reborn

Chapter 1

My phone shines that the time is 11:00pm. I wait outside in the misty rain of Forks, Washington. Most people would be shivering and covering up, but you get use to it when you're born and raised here. I sigh and place my phone back in my pocket, waiting for her to come out. I could've gone home and just kept to myself, but for some reason I want to stay. i want to see her. The sliding doors to the sporting good store open and she emerges like a supermodel. her chestnut brown hair gets tossed by the wind and she turns to look at me with her dark brown eyes that just pull you in. Bella Cullen. To think a girl like her lives in a crappy town like this. I stand up straight as she makes her way over towards me and my car.

"Nate? What are you still doing here? Didn't you get off early?"She said with shock. I scoff and look down at the ground. "Um…yeah I did, but I had no plans and the rain started coming down, so I thought I'd offer you a ride home, Bella." She sighs and looks around as if someone else should be here for her. "Well, my truck is getting fixed…" I hold my breath for her answer. She looks into my eyes and smirks. "Sure. Ok, why not?" She answers. "Really?" I say in disbelief. She nods and i practically stumble over myself to open my car door for her. She giggles and it sounds like music to me. As I close the door behind her, I walk over to my side, mumbling to myself. "It's ok…you're just taking her home. Nothing big will happen…I think."

As I maneuver my way through the first road towards Bella's house, it was dead silent. Besides the radio of course. This isn't what I pictured, but then again, I'm probably the one making things awkward. "Is it warm enough for you?" I asked to spark some sort of conversation. She replies "Yeah, it's perfect." I was little put off by the response since it still felt a little chilly to me, but I left it be for her. When I neared the end of the road, Bella began to direct me to her house. I had only ever heard about the Cullen's home, but getting to see it in person now was something out of a magazine. As I turned the corner and saw the 3 floored, cabin style, mostly windowed house before us, I had to close my mouth from shock. A house like this exists in Forks? I pulled into the driveway and placed it in park, but Bella already had her seatbelt and door open before I did. "Well, thanks for the ride Nate. It was really sweet of you to wait." She smiled and I felt like I could melt. "Yeah…" My voice cracked. "No worries. Anytime." And with that, she was out of the car and heading u to the front door. I waited till she was finally inside to make sure she was safe, but as the door closed behind her, I shook my head, turned up the heat and pulled out of the Cullen's world never to return again.

The rain on my way home seemed to be coming down harder than before which made seeing through my windshield not easy. I hadn't made it out of the woods just yet, when suddenly I noticed someone standing in the middle of the road. Before I knew it, I had spun my car out into the trees and managed to hit one on my passenger side. My head was killing me, but I was lucky to even be alive. I opened my eyes to see my windshield broken and my passenger side door dented in. I sighed and rubbed my neck as I undid my seatbelt and opened my door to get out and see the damage.

As the rain fell, it felt cooling on my sore neck even as my head begin to throb. I walked over to the other side of my car and could tell there was no way of getting it out. "Oh great…" I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone, but stopped. I heard footsteps around me. I turned behind me, but just darkness further into the woods. Sure, this was Forks so it could've just been a deer, but I felt uneasy. Maybe it was the figure I saw on the road. I turned back to my car as the footsteps made noise again. My hand was still in my pocket gripping onto my phone. The steps sounded like they were getting closer, so I turned quickly flashing my phone to see what it was. Before I could get a good look, I was pushed to the ground with something or someone on top of me. My phone fell to my side and out of reach. Finally, this dark figure spoke. In a raspy voice it said, "Relax…it'll make this easier." That's when I blacked out from the excruciating pain I felt in my neck.
