Chapter One: I'm Feeling Kinda Strange
BPOV
I could feel my father's presence as I laid here burning. The flames were whipping through every part of my body and time stood still. It seemed like I had been burning for days, months, maybe even years, time meant nothing compared to the pain. As sudden as the pain started, it stopped. With the last thud of my heart, the pain was gone and I would never be the same.
Five years ago, my father was on a fishing trip on the La Push Indian reservation with his best friend Billy Black when he was attacked. He and Billy were bringing in their days catch as a woman with red hair and crimson eyes sauntered toward them. She attacked Charlie and at the same moment her teeth pierced his skin, Billy's body exploded leaving a giant wolf in its place (A/N: I know Billy was never a wolf in the book but go with me here this is my version though it pales in comparison to the original). The wolf attacked the woman and took her down. Three days later Charlie awoke from his fiery hell and Billy explained everything that had happened and what he had become.
Charlie had been attacked by a vampire named Victoria there was another with her named James and the Quileute tribes' protectors had been hunting them. The Quileutes were descendant of wolves, the only natural enemy of vampires and had been protecting the area for centuries. James was a "vegetarian" vampire and only drank the blood of animals so he had been permitted to stay in the area, but Victoria was a whole other story. When she bit Charlie her venom had turned him in to a vampire. Billy introduced him to James and they all decided to work together to keep future "carnivorous" vampires far away from the area of La Push and Forks, Washington. James taught Charlie how to live on animal blood and interact with humans. Charlie had unparalleled self-control and mastered it in under a week. Just in time for him to come home and tell me and my mother, Renee what had happened.
My mother was terrified and immediately ran from him taking me with her. He was devastated, but still loved both of us and kept in touch. I finally convinced my mother that it was safe for me to visit. Every summer I would live with Charlie in Alaska and always came home in one piece. After four years, my mother finally got the courage to come with me and see the monster she had run away from years ago. She and I decided that we would surprise him with her visit. When he saw her he was overcome with happiness. He lost control of his vampire strength for one second while he was hugging her and broke three of her ribs with one squeeze. She ran again and never looked back.
My mother eventually found someone new and got remarried. They were moving to Florida and I knew that if I went with them, I would never see my father again. I decided to move in with my dad at least until Renee and Phil got settled in Florida. Charlie was moving to Forks to spend time with Billy and James and I was meeting him there. I was 17, starting at a new school during my junior year and, oh yeah, living with my vampire father. What could go wrong?
I arrived in Forks and was greeted enthusiastically by my father. However, he didn't dare touch me after what happened with my mother. We rode home from the airport and he informed me that he had two surprises for me at home. The first was my very own truck! Sure it was ancient and not much to look at, but I loved it. The second was that he was going to introduce me to his friend James who was the vampire that taught him how to not kill humans. As we walked up to the door my father turned to me and gave me a very serious look.
"Isabella," uh oh, he only called me that when he meant business, "I want you to be careful around James, I've never told you this before because I didn't want to scare you, but you have abnormally appetizing blood and I don't know exactly how James will react to it."
What? Why does my blood have to smell so good can't I be normal in any aspect of my life?
"I've warned James, but just watch him."
"Ok dad, I'll be careful. Promise"
With that we entered the house. I turned the corner and standing in my father kitchen was a beautiful, pale man with golden eyes who I knew instantly was James. In one moment everything changed. A gust of wind blew by me as the door closed, I saw James' nostrils flare and his expression changed from curiosity to ferocity. James growled and lunged toward me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Charlie flying at him, but before he made contact James sank his teeth into my shoulder. That was the last thing I remember before the darkness washed over me and the fire consumed me.
