Chapter 1. Surprise
I was so excited I thought I might squeal, but somehow I resisted the urge to do so. It wasn't even my birth day yet I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
"Ugh!" My daughter groaned. "Can't you at least tell me what theme it is?"
Jacob, who was sitting right next to her, opened his mouth to answer but I cut him off with a hiss. Rolling my eyes I turned to face her.
"Where's the fun in that?" I smirked.
She scowled at the floor and ground her teeth together menacingly.
I smiled. My daughter Renesme had been desperately trying to find out what her party would be like ever since Jacob let it slip that we were throwing a surprise birthday celebration for her. Today she officially turns 16 years old-even though she will forever resemble a 21 year old(a/n every woman's dream). Believe it or not it was actually I who suggested me throw a party for Renesme. I just thought that fifteen years after the brush with death at the hands of the volturri, we deserved a little celebration.
I chose to taunt her further. "I can't wait for you to see what Alice has done with the decorations. I wonder if she found enough glitter." Renesme moaned in annoyance.
"Don't stress Nessie the party is in like 15 minutes, and then the confusion will be over. " Jacob said.
An arm linked its way around mine and a voice like a clear, low bell whispered in my ear. "Stop torturing her, love."
I sighed and intertwined my fingers with his. I looked into Edward's topaz eyes, which now matched my own, and just melted inside.
I am Bella Cullen and I am an immortal vampire, and that's not even that strange part. My best friend is Jacob and he is a werewolf. My daughter is a sort of vampire that drinks blood but doesn't smell like a vampire and has a heartbeat… odd.
Now I know what you're thinking- "Ah they'll drink my blood, run for it!"-but chillax, because we are what we like to call vegevampires, which means that we drink animal blood, not human's.
I am in the center of every fairy tale nightmare and this is the story of how things got truly strange in my life.

My watch beeped. "5 minutes till party time" I exclaimed. Edward stood up. "I'll go check to make sure everything is just right, you coming Jacob?"
Jacob clanked down at Renesme. "Nah, I think I'll stay here with Bells and Nes-"
I growled.
"Fine, fine." Jacob jumped up and walked backwards out the door, his arms held up in surrender. "See you soon" Edward murmured to me and blew a kiss as he exited.
Renesme harrumphed and slouched further into the couch. Grumpily, she flicked a speck of dust off her plush, 1 of kind skinny jeans that went perfectly with her sequined, DIVA, V-neck. Ugh. As soon as she turned a year old she took Alice and Rosalie's fashion sense to heart like a religion. And now her sparkling showstopper outfit seriously clashed with my faded jeans and plaid T-shirt that just screamed 'don't look at me'.
I got bored with cultivating fashion ethic I strolled over to the book shelf to grab Wuthering Heights. I felt a displacement in the air but ignored it because I was flipping through the pages of my book; remembering every single sentence from it in a flash.
"Haven't you already read that story like a million times?" An unknown voice like water trickling over glass asked.
My body locked down and I dropped the book. "E-E-Ed-Edward?!" I stammered out in panic.
The voice laughed.
"He is too far away to hear us. And it's about time too; I thought they would never leave- well hello, who are you?"
He had just noticed Renesme hiding behind the couch she was previously sitting on, absolute terror reflecting through her eyes.
That look snapped me out of my stupor. I raced to her side and starred down the man and growled very clearly. "You lay one hand on her and you'll find you're missing an arm!"
That seemed to amuse him.
Now that I was facing him I could see exactly who we were up against. Dare I say, he was a knock out. He dressed in a regal, pressed, black tux, with a blood red tie matching his scarlet eyes. He had a beautiful face that looked like it was chiseled out of pure marble. He flashed a calm smile as if we were best friends having a casual meeting.
There was a girl behind him. She was hunched over, hugging herself; her long black hair dyed dark blue with one white streak covering her face.
The man called my attention again by speaking.
"Do not worry Bella," how in the world did he know my name? "we are not here for the child we are here for you."
"What do you want with me?" I asked, feign nonchalance.
"You have great powers, powers of which I am in need of. So you will be coming with me."
I laughed in surprise. "Oh, as if, I am not going anywhere with you!"
"Oh well" he sighed. "Looks like we will have to do this the hard way." He gave a meaningful look to his companion, and she nodded. She reached into a bag strapped around her hip that I hadn't noticed before, pulling out a match. She lit it and looked to me and mouthed 'I'm so sorry'. She dropped the match and the cottage-my cottage- my home lit on fire.
Renesme couldn't hold it anymore; she ripped out a screeching scream that must have reached all the way to the rest of the family.
Annoyance shown on his face and he glanced nervously in the direction of the house where 7 vampires and probably like 6 werewolves are rushing from.
He advanced on me. I clutched Renesme's hand and sprinted to the other side of the room; I just need to buy enough time for Edward and the others to-
The door swung open with most of the wall, revealing 8 gigantic wolves, Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Esme, Carlisle, and "Edward!"
Too late I realized my mistake. An iron grasp wrenched me from my beloved daughter and a fiery pain seared up my arm to the very core of my mind, burning everything in the process. This was by far worse than the feeling of venom in my veins.
"Just give up and let go." A voice like water trailing down a window whispered in my ear. The sound was so beautiful and the pain was so mindboggling that I wanted nothing more than to obey.
"BELLA" Someone shouted but it seemed so far away and getting farther still.
I couldn't take it anymore, despite it going against my vampire being I was just so tired, tired of life, tired of this pain, tired of EVERYTHING! I let go. I closed my eyes and let myself drown in this suffering, waiting for an end.
Another hand took mine and it felt as if I turned to dust floating in the wind.
My mind went blank and black.

I was lying on a silk bed. My body felt like it had been nuked, frozen, and then nuked again. My brain didn't feel much better. It was fuzzy and strangely empty. I tried to think; the last thing I remembered…I groped through my head looking for anything but finding only pain, so much pain that I instinctively shied away from it.
My eyes flipped open; if I couldn't look back then I might as well look around.
I slipped out of the bed. I was dressed in silver silk pajamas; how I got in them I have no clue. I walked over to a door on my right and opened it to find a walk in closet with a full length mirror. What I saw confused me.
I was pale as a sheet, has rosy red lips, and my eyes were so gold they were butterscotch. I had perfect brown hair which looked neat and in place even though I felt like I had slept for hours. And in my hair, running from the tip of my scalp down the side of my face was a pure white streak. I stroked it in curiosity and grimaced when a remembrance of the pain went through my mind.
"Ahem"
Pivoting, I sunk to a crouch. But there was no danger; Leaning casually on the silver walls stood a man that made my jaw drop. He was drop dead gorgeous! His face looked like it was made out of marble and his ruby red eyes went straight to my soul.
"Are you ok, my dear? I was awfully worried about you." He said. A voice like rain drops sliding down glass.
A/n- so first chapter of first fan fiction…how do you think I did? I had this idea bouncing around for a while and I finally put it out there. Let it be known I am always looking for constructive criticisms so don't be afraid to throw flaming cookies! But remember I am new at this so try to be kind. If you have any specially made vampire characters private message me and I will probably include them in the story, but they have to have a strong mental/physical power. Also if anyone has a better idea for the title of this story put it at the end of the review. I will probably update every other week but if my writing juices are really flowing and I get at least 5 reviews I will upload the next chapter next week, if over 15 reviews I will upload the chapter on Wednesday! And remember… REVIEW!
