Bella stared at herself in the mirror. The bandage Charlie used to patch her up showed clearly against her alabaster skin. She was never the type to be vain about her looks, but the unsightly band-aid would clearly attract unwanted attention. She didn’t think she was ugly or pretty, just average. However, most guys that saw her thought differently. Maybe it was the way her long, brown hair hung gracefully down her back in soft curls or maybe it was the beautiful brown eyes that were soft and doe-like against her pale skin that attracted guys to her like a magnet. Whatever it was, Bella never realized just how beautiful she really was. She was too busy living in her own little secure world to pay much attention to the outside. Most people usually saw her as a loner who walked around listening to her Ipod as if the world around her didn’t exist. She had no problem blending in with the crowd when she wanted to become invisible. She doubt she could do that now after running into a tree.
She sighed and moved away from the mirror to unpack her belongings. Luckily she had managed to get a private room at the college. She knew she couldn’t stand a roommate invading her personal space. She liked her alone time. She could hear the students in the hallway moving in. She reached over and turned up her stereo to block the noise. She was not in a good mood. After two hours of unpacking, hanging her clothes in the closet, putting new sheets on the mattress and filling the bookshelves with her favorite books, she realized she’d forgotten one thing. Food. Her stomach growled as she looked into the empty micro fridge. Why hadn’t she brought anything to snack on? It was already night since Charlie had drove her up late in the evening. The cafeteria was probably closed by now. She remembered Charlie had stuffed a map of the college in her book bag, she was grateful for his thoughtfulness. Maybe she could find a campus store nearby. She opened her bag, pulled it out and looked quickly for any building on the map that had the food symbol over it. Meanwhile, her stomach began to growl ferociously. She found one small building at the far corner of the campus. She sighed, why did it have to be such a long walk from her dorm? Knowing her, she was bound to get lost walking around at night, but her stomach persisted and she was forced to leave. She took the map with her.
The campus was well lit and a few kids still hung around outside as she started her journey. At least no one would recognize her now since it was a little harder to see her. Plus, she wore a jacket with the hood pulled over her head. The farther she walked away, the spookier the campus became. There were fewer lights and the trees began to get thicker. She kept glancing at the map to see if she was going in the right direction. The path she was on kept getting thinner and the forest kept getting bigger. In the back of her mind, she had a feeling she was going in the wrong direction, but the little store was suppose to be at the furthest end of the campus so perhaps she was going in the right direction after all. She had no idea. She made a couple of turns and kept walking until she reached a lake. She looked at the map frowning. She didn’t remember seeing a lake…
Suddenly the howl of a wolf interrupted her thoughts. Her body froze. Nobody said anything about wolves being so close to the college. She turned around to go back and froze again. Behind her was a pitch black void, how could she have traveled so far without realizing how truly dark it was. Somehow, she’d gotten lost after all.
“You shouldn’t be out here alone at night,” a masculine voice appeared out of nowhere causing her to nearly jump out of her skin.
She whirled around and saw a tall figure standing in front of the lake. Bella immediately wished she hadn’t forgotten her mace in her hurry to find food. She swallowed loudly and wondered if she should break off into a run back into the dark forest or ask the stranger for help.
“Don’t worry, I’m not a psycho or a stalker,” she swore she saw him look quickly up in the trees when he said that. “I come out here sometimes to think.” The figure began to walk to her.
Bella backed away. The closer he got the bigger he got. She didn’t know if she was talking to a monster or a man. The moon came out from behind the clouds as he moved towards her showing her that he was indeed a man, a very muscular man walking towards her. She noticed his footsteps didn’t make a sound.
“I was looking for a store. I got hungry and wanted a snack,” Bella’s voice cracked slightly from nervousness.
He let out a short sarcastic laugh, “you’re not the only one looking for a snack.”
Bella frowned. “Excuse me?”
“Sorry,” he said and stood right in front of her.
Bella gulped. The man had to be 6’7, he towered over her 5,4 frame like a giant. He had long straight black hair, high cheek bones, a protruding brow, almost cave man like. She could tell even in the moonlight that his skin was a dark tan color. His teeth glistened pure white as he grinned down at her. He looked Indian which sort of put her at ease. Didn’t Native Americans like nature? It made sense for him to be roaming around in the forest at night. He’d probably grown up here.
“I know you!” His voice was full of surprise and recognition.
Bella began to fidget with the zipper of her jacket. “You do?”
“My friends have a nickname for you. They call you , One Who Walks With Trees.”
Bella stiffened at the insult. “I’ll find the damn store on my own,” she muttered and began to walk away.
“Wait a minute! It was just a joke!” He caught up with her and began to walk beside her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you would be so sensitive. I think it’s cute.”
“Who are you?” Bella asked not stopping.
“My name is Jacob Black and you are?”
“Isabella Swan, I prefer Bella,” she said simply. “I don’t see how you could have recognized me in the dark with my hood over my head.”
“Let’s just say I have keen senses,” Jacob grinned. “You are in the opposite direction of the store you’re looking for. I could take you there if you like?”
Bella looked down at the map she was holding. “I thought I could find it.”
“May I?” Jacob asked stopping and holding his hand out for the map.
She gave it to him and watched him look over it. He grinned again. She was beginning to like his smile. It seemed to be so pure and innocent on a man that was the size of a mountain. She knew she would be very afraid of him judging by his size alone, he could easily kidnap her and do horrible things to her. For some reason, she didn’t sense he would hurt her.
“You were reading it upside down,” he told her shaking his head. “No wonder you’re lost. If you had kept walking you would found yourself deep in the forest. The place we’re at isn’t even on the map.”
Bella sighed. “Of course,” she mumbled. So, she had walked herself clearly off the map. Her stomach growled loudly between them. She blushed deeply and was grateful he couldn’t see it.
Jacob laughed. “Let’s hurry up and get you some food.”
They walked side by side on the narrow path. Bella noticed he seemed distracted. He kept glancing up at the trees.
“What are you looking at?” She finally asked when she couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Bats,” he said. “Nasty, blood sucking creatures,” he said in disgust.
A sharp sound of wood cracking echoed through the forest. Suddenly a very thick branch fell down and hit Jacob in the head. He cringed as it slid to the ground.
“Are you okay?!” Bella asked in alarm.
Jacob rubbed the top of his head. “I’m fine,” he said dryly.
“Are you sure? That was a pretty big branch. Maybe I should check to see if you have a lump or bleeding,” Bella reached up as if to pull his head down, but her hands didn’t quite make it past his chest.
It was Jacob’s turn to blush now. He backed away. “I’m fine, really. It will take a lot more than a tree branch to bring me down, unlike people who walk into them and get knocked out completely.”
Bella frowned. “You know, I hope you get a concussion,” she muttered. His teasing was really beginning to get to her. She could hear his low chuckle.
The wind was beginning to pick up. A strong breeze blew past them blowing Bella’s hood off her head. Her hair flowed into the wind like currents. Jacob stared at her transfixed at her beauty. Her pale skin practically glowed in the moonlight and her hair whipped around her face wildly. His heart began to beat a little faster when she turned those beautiful brown eyes towards him. He supposed he could finally understand “its” fascination with her. Right now, she looked like one of “them” in the dark.
“Looks like it’s about to storm,” Bella told him.
“I know a place closer to campus than the store you were searching for. Didn’t you bother to look for the student union? It has all sorts of restaurants and it’s opened late at night.”
“No,” Bella murmured feeling stupid. “I didn’t know where it was. I was just looking for food and saw the store.”
Jacob smiled. “I guess your stomach was doing all the thinking for you.”
She glanced up at him and smiled, grateful he didn’t make a joke at her stupidity. She decided to change the subject and ask him where he was from. He told her he had lived in Forks his entire life and knew the place well. He was 21 like herself and a junior in college. He stayed with his father to help him out since he was in a wheelchair. His family was from the Quileute Native American tribe and his forefathers had lived on this land for what seemed like forever. He had several friends who he thought of as brothers that went to the college, but none of them lived on campus. Then he asked her about her life. Bella gave him a short summary of where she had come from, how she had moved here to help her father also. She told him she was an only child. He asked her if she ever got lonely in which she happily told him no. Must be hard he told her, not having a big brother to look after her. She had asked him what he meant by that. He told her, he had watched her run into a tree and now get lost in a forest, seemed like she needed someone to watch over her. I’m not always like that, she had told him, although she knew it was a lie. She complained it was her first day and that she was just nervous. He gave her a skeptical look.
By the time they made it back to the main campus, it had begun to sprinkle. Jacob walked her to the student union. She glanced back when she realized he wasn’t coming in.
“I have to go,” he told her, “but I’m sure we’ll meet again, Bella.”
Bella could see him clearly in the lights of the building now as he spoke. She hadn’t noticed he was so good-looking. His long black hair swung loosely over his shoulders and down his back. She noticed the way those dark brown eyes curved downward at the corners when he smiled and the prominent high cheekbones that gave his face an exotic, sexy look. He wore a brown shirt that did nothing to hide the muscular arms and shoulders. She watched as each muscle ripped smoothly under his flawless bronze skin with every move he made. He stared down at her expectedly waiting for her to respond. Bella blushed as she finally got a hold of herself. She quickly wiped her mouth hoping she wasn’t drooling in front of him.
“Thank you for your help. I don’t know how I would have gotten back without you,” Bella shivered at the thought of spending the night in the forest.
“Don’t worry about it, just be careful,” he told her. His voice sounded like the gently roll of thunder outside. She hadn’t noticed how attractively his words rolled together with his accent. He winked at her playfully and left.
Bella watched him walk away. Was she developing a crush on Jacob Black?
She turned to see what type of food she wanted and chose the first fast food restaurant she saw, Mcdonalds. After scoffing down a double cheeseburger, large fries and drinking a large chocolate milkshake, she felt full of enough to leave. Still carrying the map with her, which she had looked over again while eating, she pushed open the door and was nearly knocked down by strong gust of wind. It was raining heavily outside. She wondered if she could make a run for her dorm without getting too wet. Using the map as an umbrella, she made a run for it hoping she was running in the right direction towards her dormitory. She couldn’t see for the blinding rain which was now blowing sideways in the wind. A large gust blew the map from her wet fingers leaving her exposed to the stormy weather. She grabbed her hood and forced it over her head, but the heavy rain soaked right through it. She found herself in the middle of the campus , blind against the rain and struggling against the wind. She had no idea where her dorm was. This day had turned out from bad to horrible.
Something wide suddenly went over her head blocking her from the rain. She looked up to see someone holding a huge raincoat over her. Whoever it was stood close behind her, leaning over her to provide the shelter she needed from the storm. Grateful, she looked up into strange golden eyes…
