Chapter 1

I was walking in an alley to get to my car when all of the sudden I was knocked out.

I woke up and I was in sheer pain. It was like some one had lit me on fire! I wanted to scream put me out or something but I kept quiet. Then I heard voices coming into the room.

"NO Edward! You shouldn't have tried to kill her in the first place! I had a vision of her! She is important to us! And you went and tried to kill her!" A female voice said.

"Alice, you don't think I know that?!" a male voice retorted. "I couldn't help myself! Her blood just smelt so good! It reminded me of her blood. I should have never started feeding on humans again."

I was so confused at this moment. What did feeding off of humans mean? The pain had lessened an immense amount but my heart was beating hard against my ribcage. It felt as if it would burst any second. Then it….stopped. All pain was gone so I opened my eyes. Everything looked so spectacular and new. It was like opening my eyes to a new world. Had I needed glasses all my life and not realize it? I looked around. I saw two beautiful figures standing towards the back wall of the room. One with spiky black hair and topaz eyes. The other with bronze tousled hair and coal black eyes. He looked very grim and ashamed almost. I opened my mouth to speak,

"Who are you?" I flinched as I heard my voice. It was beautiful…like wind chimes or bells. I picked up my hand and twisted it this and that way. It was the palest skin I'd ever seen. My eyes widened with fear and confusion. What had they done to me?

"Well…I'm Alice Cullen and this is Edward" She seemed very careful with her words. "You probably won't believe me but….you are a vampire. My brother" She glanced at Edward. "Attacked you a few days ago….I'm so sorry." She looked down.

"I'm a…..what? A vampire?!" I was so astonished I was lost for words. "Take me home! Take me home now!" I yelled.

"You can't" Edward said sternly. "You can never go home. No one would recognize you and….you might attack some one."

At that I glared at him with the fiercest face I could make.

"Like you did?" I said coldly his eyes were filled with sorrow. "So what now? You mean to say I have nothing? That I am a monster that kills people?! This is grand! Just wonderful!" I said sarcastically hanging my head in my hands.

"So…I never caught you name." Alice said breaking the silence.

"It's Hannah Powers" I sighed.

"Well Hannah, are you opposed to staying with us for a while?" She said thoughtfully. "So you don't kill anyone?" She added. I lifted up my head to look at her.

"Yeah ok…" Did I just agree to living with people I didn't even know? "

Well then for now…your Hannah Cullen. Welcome to the family." She said then looking at me as if she remembered something. "Oh I forgot!" She said running impossibly fast out of the room and back in under half a second handing me a mirror. "Take a look" She said as I took the mirror. When I looked at the mirror I gasped at my reflection….
