Riley Swan has no idea what was coming for her in this new town with her sister, she just knew that Bella has made a promise to protect her, and then they ended up surrounded by the supernatural...

Bella Swan hated a few things, like crowds, unnecessary confrontation, attention being on her...but most of all she hated the idea of ageing, she didn't like the choice of dying, or having to leave anybody else behind as she passed away.
She didn't like the idea of leaving Riley, her parents and now...Edward.
But, every year on the dot Riley arrived in her room with her favourite breakfast and a birthday present, and Bella never argued as she knew how much Riley valued birthdays.
"Happy birthday!" Riley announced herself as she walked in with Bella's favourite breakfast, one of her best meals she could make. "Here's your breakfast in bed, and I admit that I had needed Edward to drop off the ingredients...but, here you are"
Bella took it with a sheepish grin before she took the utensils and almost moaned at the taste, she had taught her sister how to cook amazingly.
"The gifts are as big as usual...but here you go" Riley handed over a medium size box and a smaller box, and Bella took them with a thankful grin before she unwrapped them.
One was a photo album of most of the photos Riley and taken of them together, or with friends and family, and towards the end their was even a section with pages of photos of her with Edward.
Riley blushed when her sister sent her a look, "you guys are so photogenic, I couldn't help myself half of the time..."
Bella just nodded as she closed the book after a brief observation, before she opened the smaller box with a wary look.
"It's a charmed bracelet, where I can keep giving you charms for it." Riley explained shortly, before rambling on. "I bought the one with the cactus that says 'always' on it, and Edward bought the apple one...even though I don't know what it means, he seemed to think it had a deep meaning towards it...I'm blabbering, oh sorry..."
Bella just let out a small laugh before she wrapped it around her wrist gently and nodded, "perfect"
Riley let out a big grin before she jumped over to the food to give her sister a hug, that Bella immediately returned for a few minutes before she pulled away with a slight gasp.
"We need to get ready, or we'll be late" Bella explained herself quickly, and Riley almost laughed as she realised she was still in her cupcake pyjamas.
"Athena would not forgive us" Riley countered, and the sisters nodded together before they set off in their own ways, Riley returning to her room so she could get dressed for the day, while Bella gingerly got out of bed with a groan and checked over her head in the mirror, hoping not to see a grey hair on her.
Riley decided on an oversized hoodie tucked into a pair of light jeans, knowing that it was a more folder day of the year in Forks.
After getting dressed for the day, Riley ran downstairs quickly and grabbed her bag that Bella had prepared her lunch in the night before.
Riley ran outside and over to hug Edward, as she seemed to be in a great mood this day. Edward returned the hug with a small chuckle before he placed her down on the floor gently and met her eyes as if they were sharing a secret. "Did she get the bracelet"
Riley grinned cheekily, her dimples showing slightly. "Yes, and she loved it!"
Edward returned the smile with another before he noticed the girls shivering, "you can get in the car, I have the heating on for you already"
