Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. This is a revision of Chapter 1; I hope you like it Please Read and Review. Anything you see that is in normal format, but is underlined It is an inner thought. The only character I own at the moment is Matthew. His name used to be Michael, but I changed it.

Chapter 1

My name is Isabella Marie Cullen. I was born the daughter of Kaylie Marie Swan-Cullen and Carlisle Cullen. I was born May 29, 1681. My grandfather Cullen hunted vampires as did my father. My mother died in childbirth, so my father stayed home with me as much as he could anyway. Not only did my father hunt vampires, but he was a doctor as well. My grandfather Cullen gave my father the duty of hunting one night when I was 17. My father left to do so, but he never returned home. I did not understand why my father never returned home so I went to my grandfather and asked him.

(A.N. Bella,Grandfather Cullen.)

"Grandfather, were is my daddy, and why has he not come home to me?"

"He left because he does not love you anymore sweetheart."

Later that night I went for a walk. As I was walking I was attacked by something. It bit me. I then felt a burning sensation in my body and the last thing I could think of before I passed out was (what did I do to make my daddy hate me and leave me?) When I woke up I don't know how many days later. I found a strange man standing next to me. He had beautiful golden eyes.

(A.N. Bella, Matthew.)

"Good evening child" the man said.

"Good evening kind sir" I replied in a sing song voice that wasn't mine.

"Do you know your name child?" The man asked me.

"Yes, my name is Isabella Cullen. What is your name Kind Sir?" I replied and asked.

Cullen? It can't be … hmm… I'll ask her if she is related to Carlisle." Matthew thought to him self.

"Child, are you by any chance related to Carlisle Cullen." He asked me.

I nodded my head yes. "He is my father."

"Well then to answer your earlier question my name is Matthew Johnson."

"Matthew, am I now a vampire?"

"Unfortunately yes, I was going to cross the ocean to night and go to the new world. You are more than welcome to join me this night child or may I call you Bella."

"I would love to go with you this night and yes you may call me Bella. I kind of like it better than Isabella anyway. How do you know my father?" I asked him hesitating when I said father.

"I met your father the night I tried to save him from this fate. I am afraid I arrived too late to save the both of you from having to live through this hell. I would like you to know that I am forever terribly sorry that I did not get there in time to save the both of you."

"At least you tried to save us both from this fate and for that I thank you, but we had better get going before the sun rises."

As we started to go across the ocean to new world we caught wind of more vampires so we decided to stay in England and save as many people as we could from the fate we two had suffered. We did not leave until about 1918 that was when the rumors started about a doctor fighting the Spanish Influenza. That was when I told Matthew that I wanted to leave. So we left and headed to America on a ship. When we got there we went to a place called Alaska. We have lived here for many years because there are plenty of animals and not a lot of people in which to tempt us. We would occasionally run across a few of the local's, but that is about it.
