Chapter 1:

I walked back to my '67 Mustang GT500 from the sports store. I had purchased new Lacrosse gear. When I reached my car, I put them in the passenger seat and looked at my watch. It was around nine o' clock in the evening.

I turned on the ignition and the car roared to life. I smiled at the sound. I looked behind me, pulled out and headed home.

I parked the car in the garage and came into the house. I see my mother, Renee sitting on the couch watching TV. When she sees me, she turns it off.

"Hey Bella. Come here, I want to talk to you." she said

"Hi mom. Let me just put this stuff away." I said, holding up my gear. I ran up to my room, set them on my bed and rushed downstairs.

I took a seat next to her. She looked nervous.

"Um, I don't know how to say this so I guess I'll just say it."

I nodded for her to continue.

"Charlie hasn't seen you in a while and he told me that he would like to see you more."

I nodded, "Okay."

"So, I was thinking if you wanted to live with him in Forks for a while?" she asked

I was a bit stunned. I thought she would just send me there for a vacation or something. Not that I had anything against Charlie, I was just surprised.

I nodded, "Okay."

My mother looked confused, "That's it? Just like that? I spent all day planning on how to convince you."

I chuckled, "Sorry to disappoint you."

Renee shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I was just taken aback."

I nodded, "That makes two of us."

Renee scrunched her eyebrows, "You mean you don't want to go?"

I shook my head, "That's not what I'm saying. Like you, I was taken aback. I'll miss you."

Renee put her hand to her heart and hugged me, "I'll miss you too, sweetheart."

"I get to take my car though, right?"

She smiled and slapped my leg playfully, "That's all you ever think about, is your car."

I laughed.

"You should call Cris. He wants to tell you something." She said

"Okay."

I got up and grabbed the phone and dialed his number. After the third ring, he picked up.

"Hey Bella." Cris said

"Hey Cris, you wanted to tell me something?" I said

"Yeah, did Renee already tell you?"

I was shocked, "You mean you know?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Well…maybe." he muttered

"Cris!"

"She told me not to tell you!"

"Cris!" I whined

"I'm sorry, what was I supposed to do?"

"Never mind. What did you want to tell me?"

There was another pause, "I don't know if you'll be thrilled about this now."

My patience was getting thin, "What is it?"

"I'm moving to Forks too!" he said excitedly

"Are you serious?" I asked

"I can't see your expression. Are you happy or angry?"

"I'm happy of course!" I said

"Well good. I have a couple relatives there that I can live with."

"I didn't know that."

"Yep. So, whenever you're ready."

"I'm supposed to be moving within the week."

"Sounds great. I'll catch you later. Bye Bella."

"Bye Cris."

We were packing the rest of our stuff in my Mustang and Cris wanted to be the first to drive. I didn't want to run the risk of my car getting damaged so I decided to drive to Washington.

"Absolutely not, Cris!" I said plugging in my ipod in the car.

"Why not?" he whined

"Because you'll wreck it."

He clasped his hands together, "I promise to be really careful."

I sighed, "If you get one tiny little scratch-"

He shook his head, "I won't! Promise!"

I handed him the keys and got in after I said goodbye to my mom.

We drove for about six hours before I took over.

"You know what I'm worried about?"

I glanced at him, "What?"

"Will we be bored to death considering it is a small town?"

"If need be, we could drive to another town." I said

"I guess. Are you going to try out for the lacrosse team?" he asked

I chuckled, "Of course."

"Well, I'm sure you'll make the team. I've seen the way you play."

I smiled at him, "Thank you. What about you? Are you going to try out for the soccer team?"

"Yeah. It would've been nice if you joined the soccer team."

"I can't do Lacrosse and soccer." I said

He nodded, "I know. I hope there are a lot of women in Washington for you and I."

I chuckled, "I'm sure there are."

Hours later I pulled into a hotel. "Why are we going into a hotel? We can just keep switching who drives."

"No, Cris. I can't sleep when I know you're driving." I said getting out of the car.

He groaned.

After about four days of driving, we reached Washington. I admit I was speeding a little. That was how we got here so fast.

I dropped Cris off at his home and went to Charlie.

Charlie was really happy to see me. We spent the day unpacking and talking, catching up.

The next day, I spent the night unpacking some more. I met up with Cris that night and we were walking around the town, getting to know the place. We decided to head into the woods at 9:00 and it was now 11:00.

Cris and I were talking about what classes we wanted to take when I heard what sounded like a twig snapping. I turned around quickly, "Cris, did you hear that?" I whispered

He turned to the source of the noise, "It was probably loose leaves falling."

I gave him a 'Are you kidding me?' expression. We heard a growl and I looked at Cris. I leaned over to him so that he could hear me when I whispered, "Run."

We both took off running in the same direction, side by side. We heard loud rustling and thumping behind us. That's when I knew whatever it was, was chasing us. It was closing in on us fast and I knew we were not going to make it.

I saw Cris fall and I stopped. An animal had his jaw locked onto Cris's left leg.

"Bella, help!" Cris yelled

I quickly looked around for a weapon. I saw a very thick piece of wood a few feet away. I ran over to it and grabbed it. I ran back to Cris and started beating the animal on the head with the stick. All the while Cris was screaming.

I kept beating the animal and eventually, it turned its attention to me. The animal let go of Cris's leg. Cris staggered out of the way. The animal growled and lunged at me, taking a huge bite on my shoulder blade.

I screamed from the pain. Cris grabbed the stick that I dropped and started beating the animal. I realized what the animal was then. It was a wolf! I punched and kicked the wolf that had a death grip on me and Cris kept beating it. Finally, the wolf let go and took off.

I lied down, trying to catch my breath. Cris limped to me and fell down beside me, "Bella, we have to get out of here before the wolf returns. They travel in packs."

I nodded and he helped me up. We leaned on each other for support. It seemed like forever until we reached to my car. "So far, I'm not liking Forks." he said

"Our friendship was really tested tonight. You passed in my book." I said

I drove Cris and I to the hospital. We staggered in and we were waiting for our turn in our seats.

"We will probably have to get rabies shots." I said

"Like we haven't been through enough?" Cris said looking at me.

"I heard that rabies shots really hurt." I said

"…Bella…please shut up." Cris said

Cris was called first but I didn't have to wait too long. When it was my turn, I was waiting in one of the cubicles. When the doctor walked in, I was shocked. He was medium build, had blond hair, pale skin, beautiful golden eyes and he was tall.

"Hello, Isabella. I'm Dr. Cullen" His voice was like silk.

"Hi." I said clutching my shoulder

"Well Bella, it says here you were attacked?" he said, looking at his clipboard

"Yeah, it was a wolf." I said

I heard very loud screaming and knew it was Cris. I can only guess that he must be having his rabies shots. I cringed.

"Where was this? Was it in La Push?" Dr. Cullen said

I gave him a confused look, "No, why? Is there a lot of wolf attacks in La Push?" I asked

He shook his head, "No. Just wondering."

"It was in the woods."

I proceeded to tell him what happened.

"There will be scarring on your shoulder." He said examining it.

After a lot of questions, it was time for my shots. My heart rate accelerated. I really didn't want those. When the nurse told me that they go into the deltoid, I just about fell over. My shoulder was already killing me. It was to go into my shoulders and hips…all five of them. Shit.

"This will help you feel better." The nurse said, rubbing alcohol on my left shoulder.

"It isn't working." I said, my heart rate picking up.

"Just relax." she said massaging my uninjured shoulder.

As the needle was coming towards me, I couldn't help but lean away from it. She looked at me and I gave her a sheepish smile. I looked away so I couldn't see it coming. I fought the scream trying to erupt out of me. I did my best not to pull away or squirm.

I let out a whimper as she pulled the needle out. One down.

I walked out of the room and saw Cris waiting for me with a crutch on his side. When I reached him, I asked, "Does it hurt?"

He smiled, "They hooked me up with painkillers."

I chuckled, "Me too. I don't think I should be driving under this condition. My head feels weird, this is strong stuff. Let's just call to get a ride."

Cris called his uncle to pick him up and I called Charlie. After much questioning and scolding, he hung up to pick me up.

Charlie got a ride from a friend that dropped him off so he could drive us home so that I didn't have to leave my car.

The whole way home, Charlie kept asking if I was okay. When we got home, I took a shower and got ready for bed, not at all surprised that I had nightmares of that wolf.

I woke up around noon feeling very sore; I couldn't move. I took more painkillers, hoping it would kick in soon.

I called Cris to see how he was doing. He was feeling crappy too so I decided to come over.

Charlie dropped me off warning me not to go into the woods again. "Believe me, you do not have to tell me that." I said, getting out of the car.

I knocked and Cris answered. We sat in his room talking about what happened.

"That was by far the most scariest and weirdest thing I've ever been through." He said, sitting on his bed

I nodded, "I know what you mean. First off, it didn't really look like a wolf considering it stood on hind legs but that was the best way to describe it. Secondly, why did it just bite us? Wouldn't it kill us?"

Cris scoffed, "Maybe that's because we kicked it's ass!"

I looked at him skeptically.

"Alright, I have no idea."

Cris and I jumped at the sound of a tapping on his window. Cris hopped over and raised the blinds. We both saw two faces and Cris jumped back in surprise, toppling to the floor.

It was a young boy and a young teenager. I walked over and I opened the window. They slid inside, while I helped Cris up.

"Who are you guys?" Cris asked

I looked at Cris, "You mean you don't know?"

Cris cocked his head, "How would I know them? We just moved here?"

The teenage boy had fair skin with a slight tan, short blond cropped hair, muscle built, and brown eyes. The younger boy had fair skin, brown eyes as well and his black hair was short.

"I'm Angelus and this is Dante." He said gesturing to himself and the little one.

"I'm Isabella, or Bella. I go by either one and this is Christopher." I said

"Pleased to meet you." Angelus said shaking our hands.

"Not to be rude or anything, but why did you just crawl through my window?" Cris asked

"We are here to help you. I know you two got bit by a wolf. That wasn't just any wolf. It was a werewolf." Angelus said and Dante nodded his head in agreement.
