Fanfictions & Ramblings
The Spark of Life: 1. Arrival
A/N: This is just an intro into the story. Not much is reviled at the moment, but next chapter I will be including more details about my OC. I am basing this mainly off of the movies since it will take too much time reading all the books again just to get everything perfect, but at the same time I do want to ad in a few details from them. For now enjoy the story!

Oh and please read and review! ^^

Chapter One - Arrival


40 thousand feet in the air sat a tired teenage boy. His blonde, almost platinum, hair a mess, sticking out in all directions disturbed by a set of blue headphones. Green eye's rimmed in black from lack of sleep looked out the window as he watched the clouds pass by. The old lady, smelling of lilac soap and wet dog, that sat next him jolted awake suddenly when a voice raised over the intercom.

"To all passengers, we will be touching down in Port Angeles shortly. We ask that all passen..."

The boy placed his hand on the shoulder of the lady to comfort her as she looked around herself in a panic. She turned to him, her face expressing her confusion and panic. He gave her a smile and rubbed her shoulder a little and she appeared to calm down and expressed her apologies. He simply waved her off and returned to peering out of the plane at the rapidly approaching ground.

Stepping off of the plane, he walked over to collect his luggage, a large suitcase filled with everything he holds dear to him that wasn't already in the backpack he carried around with him. This was his fourth flight in a row and he was exhausted. Being unable to fall asleep in the air for more than half an hour at a time meant he could barely walk straight at the moment. He was dreading the hour long car drive he still had left with a complete stranger.

Charlie. His aunt's cousin that offered to take care of him even though it meant him being dragged over seas. Sure he understood that his Aunt couldn't really take care of him for long. She was a 25 year old woman who held two jobs that she struggled to keep to pay rent for her small apartment building in the center of Sydney, Australia. With all her time taken up by work she couldn't really look after him. So one night during one of her monthly calls to her cousin Charlie Swan the man offered to take care of him for her. At first she was hesitant, but after another two weeks she couldn't deny that she was unable to truly take care of him. So with that it was all arranged to have him shipped off to the states without a say in the matter. Not that he would have disagreed. It had been months since he had said anything monumental, or much at all, besides those necessary to get by.

His Aunt had mentioned to him, on their way to Sydney's main airport, that Charlie was the Chief of Police and would be leaving to get him right after work, so he would still be in his uniform. The problem with this is that as he slowly walked towards the pickup area there were many police officers in uniform patrolling the airport. At one point he saw one sitting down alone on a bench, so he walked up to him about to ask him if he was the Charlie he was meant to meet up with, only for the officer to give him a strange look before glancing behind him. The officer unhooked his gun and stood up, not taking it out, but drawing attention to it none the less. Having never seen a gun before he freaked out and backed up as the officer walked past him and over to a shifty looking woman who was attempting to take some tourist's luggage. Taking a deep breath to calm his frantically beating heart down he didn't notice the person behind him until it was too late. A hand came down onto his shoulder making him jump and turn around in a rush. Standing there was a middle aged man in a police uniform. The man took a step back from him and held his hands up as a sign of peace.

"Sorry about that. I was just wondering if you were Samuel Swan?" His curly dark brown hair almost black in shade and his door handle mustache sparked a memory in his mind. This man looked exactly how his Aunt described Charlie making him let out a recently rare small laugh.

"Charlie Swan?" The mans reaction was instant. He stopped looking so awkward, let his hands down and relaxed a bit. A small smile appearing on his face.

"It's nice to finally meet you. It was Samuel right? I'll help you with that" Charlie held out his hand to take the luggage from him. Nodding in reply Samuel gratefully handed over the large suitcase. "I don't suppose you want to grab a bite to eat before we go?" It was a simple question, but even so it made Sam feel sick. He shook his head holding his hand to his mouth. Samuel didn't know if Charlie somehow understood or just didn't want to break the fragile bond they were forming, but he asked no more questions as they headed to his car, which Samuel was grateful for.

During the hour long ride to Forks, Charlie tried to talk to Samuel, but it was too hard for him to focus. The passing scenery started to blur together and Charlies words became a haze. Having only a few hours sleep all up in the past two days filled with never ending variations in altitude had taken it's toll on the boy. The already fuzzy world turned black as sleep once again claimed him. When Charlie noticed he just sighed and continued on driving in silence, grateful for the small relief in pressure he was feeling. Unfortunately when they arrived at the Swan residence Charlie faced the dilemma of waking a boy he didn't know. At first he called out to him, but when that didn't work after a few goes he hesitantly reached over and shook Sam's shoulder. Slowly the boy begun to mumble about '5 more minuets' or some other such nonsense. Laughing Charlie tries once more and succeeds in making the boy open up his eyes and look around.

"Um... just letting you know we've arrived." He felt so awkward waking the boy up knowing that he probably needed it a lot judging by the look of him, but it couldn't be avoided. Walking around to the trunk he grabbed Samuel's luggage and brought them to the front door. Grabbing his keys he unlocked it and left the door open while he walked back to his car. During this time Samuel had slowly woken up enough to realize he needed to get out of the car and so he tried to lift himself up. Failing and falling to the ground Charlie realized that Samuel couldn't make it alone, so he picked him up and supported him while they slowly made it into the house and up the stairs to a blank room that held a double bed and two bedside tables. Not taking in much more of the room Samuel, with help from Charlie made it to the bed where he unceremoniously dumped himself, succumbing to sleep once more.
