2005

17 year old Bella Swan stepped off the plane with her luggage as gray clouds lingered over the sky threatening to shed a single droplet of rain. That was something she had to get used to--the rainy and gloomy weather of Washington state.

She used to live with her mother, Renee, in Arizona. Until she married Bella's stepdad, Phil. Bella decided to go live with her dad, Charlie Swan, in Forks, Washington.

Bella quietly walked towards her dad as he stood near his police crusier.
