AN: This is a weird idea I got of a 21st century misfit obsessed with and researching Vampires. She catches the Volturi's attention. Curious and bored, Aro decides to invite her to Volterra and introduces her to an ancient vampire captive – Edward - one of the few left from whom the current vampire race evolved. Follow her story as she helps him reclaim his life and find his long lost mate reincarnate, Isabella.
Edward and Annabel are main is not strictly Twilight, but our favorite Cullen vamps and human Bella are in it as main characters too.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters.
Annabel is a 29 year old hard-working researcher, writer and single mother. She's always been interested in Vampires and has read much of most publications out there on them. A part of her has held the belief that they are real and living in the world around her. What she had never dreamt of was becoming one of the undead herself.
Anna
"Bye Anna"
"Have a safe trip"
"See you when you come back squirt"
"Bag an Italian hot bod' and bring him home. If not for yourself then for me."
A chorus of family and friend sang as they said their goodbyes leaving Anna's apartment. They had surprised her with a farewell party the day before she had to leave for Volterra, Italy. This was where she hoped to get more information for her research on the existence of Vampires. No one understood her fascination with the mythical, but those she holds close accepted it as one of her quirks.
Anna had never been a typical girl child. She behaved more like a tomboy. Her hair was always cropped short. The last time she was in a dress was when she was eight. Even then, it was only for two hours.
She walked from room to room checking that everything was in its place for the last time. She paused when she reached her son's room and took a seat in the rocking chair tucked in the corner. This was the saddest part of her trip. She couldn't take him with her. This would be the longest separation from her son besides the two weeks she had the flu three years ago. With a heavy sigh she turned off the lights, and went to sleep. She had an early start the next day.
Anna called her parents from the airport before boarding her plane to remind her mother there were written instructions in Nathan's bag should she need to know anything about caring for him. She also promised to call frequently.
"I've raised three children Anna, yourself included. I can take care of Nathan just fine" He mother reassured.
"I know mom, sorry. I'm really trying to not say anything."
"I know dear, just go already. Be safe"
"Thanks mom, say bye to everyone for me." And with that she was gone.
She was met by a striking beautiful woman when her last plane landed in Italy.
"Hello, my name is Heidi. You must be Annabel"
"Yes, Hi. Thank you for meeting me here. I was worried that you wouldn't speak English. Please call me Anna."
Her companion gave a tight lipped smile and led her to the car. There were two gentlemen waiting for them inside. Anna noticed they were all pale skinned, beautiful and well dressed. She was wondering to herself how she'd fit in with the research centre staff if they all turn out to be like the three. Other than the superficial she felt oddly comfortable with them. She excused her varying anxiety and comfort for the excitement of meeting Professor Volturi. She couldn't wait to learn what he knows to supplement her theories and research. She looked out the window to enjoying the scenery in the car ride to Volterra.
