Dare You To Move

Chapter 1

Edward shoved his hands into his pockets as he stalked down the street in the darkness. He had done this for so many nights, just wandering aimlessly. He had nothing better to do with his time. His life, happiness had practically been ripped from him. His nonexistent heart, torn to shreds inside himself. He sighed, and watched the ground as he continued walking. He relived that night over and over again, so many times. And each time, it killed him a little more.

It had began like any normal night he had with her. He would wait until her father went to sleep and then climb up through her window. By that time, she would be in her bed, her chest moving up and down with every small breath she took. She looked beautiful. Every night before laying next to her, he would watch her. Just for a moment. He would stand above her and think, 'How lucky am I?' He was a monster in his own eyes, but to her he was something else. He was her angel, her saviour. She loved him and he loved her. Or so, that was what he thought. There was another boy, a werewolf. He loved the beautiful being almost as much as Edward did. But, she had chosen him. He proposed and 2 weeks before their wedding she left. She took her belongings and ran. Ran into the arms of the dog. Jacob Black became her life; Edward got pushed out. After she left, he went to find her. But, of course, he couldn't cross the boundary. He never saw her again.

Once, he got a letter. It explained how she had mistaken her friendship with Jacob and it turned out to be something more. She loved Jacob more than she loved Edward. This tore him to pieces. He left the family for a while. He couldn't stand being in Forks without her. Never before had he experienced this kind of pain. Not even when she was an inch from death. He was lost without her. He had nothing left to live for. However, there was one small strand of hope left in him. He returned to his family in Forks and for years, he waited. Waited for his love to return or at least come and explain what he had done wrong. She never came. He heard through her father, Charlie, that she had a child. A baby girl, Alice Black. His heart continued to shred itself. After the news of her child, he gave up. Then came the numbness. No longer did he feel the pain. When he thought of her, he only felt numb. As if she never existed. His family moved him, knowing Forks was not helping him. They moved him to a small town in Iowa. It was still rainy, but it kept them hidden. While there, he grew distant from his family. His family let him go, knowing that his depression would only get worse if they tried to help.

The truth was, was he couldn't bare to see them. They reminded him of his time with her. Her birthday party, the graduation. Practically everything they did had one of the Cullen's included. Mainly Alice. She was the first he quit talking to. He could see in her eye how much he was hurting her, but he didn't care. The numbness had consumed him into almost another plane of conciousness. He was just there, not able to speak, feel. He went out to feed only when necessary.

Unable to stand the whispers and stares of his own family, he left them too. He ran, just like she did. He had nothing to live for, no purpose.

Bella Swan had left him 3 years ago today, his heart with her. And ever since then he was left to wander alone.

He turned the corner before he even sensed her nearby. She was hurrying along at a fast pace, almost as if trying to outrun someone. Or something. No human, nor vampire was nearby except him. He cocked his head to the side, curious. He reached into her mind, only catching fragments of her thoughts. 'I'm a monster.' Solely that thought stuck to him. 'Why would he ever want me when I'm this.' He understood her feelings. It was the same thoughts that ran through his mind when Bella first told him her feelings. 'No wonder he left.' That was the last bit he caught before a wall went up around her mind. For a moment, he thought she sensed him, but she didn't indicate that she did. She kept walking at her quick pace. Once she got to the end of the street, she turned into an alley. Edward followed curiously after her. This woman intrigued him. He didn't know what it was about her that he was drawn too.

Edward got the the corner quickly and turned into the same alley. He was surprised when he didn't see her. He could smell her, so he knew she was still there, but he had no visual on her. He turned in a circle, attempting to follow the smell when a pair of small hands pushed him from behind. He slammed into the wall and ducked out of the way before her bony fingers could wrap around his neck. He backed away from the angry vampire.

"Wait a second, would you?" He called out as she lunged for him again. He held out his hand and pushed on her chest, sending her flying backwards.

"What do you want?" She snarled, her hair a tangled mass on her head. She stood crouched, as if ready to pounce on unsuspecting prey.

"I don't want anything." He stated calmly, talking slowly. "I was just walking when I saw you. You didn't look to happy, so I thought I'd see if there was anything I could do." He slowly lowered his hands and straightened up. The woman, however, stayed crouched.

"Is that really why you followed me?" She kept her distance, but allowed her face to soften. Her head cocked to the side, her eyes bright with curiousity. Almost as curious as he was about her. Edward nodded. He took a small step forward and held out a pale hand, that glittered in the moonlight.

"I'm Edward Cullen." She stared at the hand for a moment before relaxing and placing her delicate hand in mine.

"Isolde Atkins." He nodded. The name meaning 'beautiful' fit her perfectly.

"Isolde." He muttered, the name rolling off his tongue. He smiled. "You have a beautiful name." His smile grew when her lips twitched; she was trying hard not to smile. Edward let go of her hand.

"Thank you." She sounded meek and her voice low enough that no human could have heard it, even if they were centimeters away. He smiled and gave a small nod. She jumped, as if being awakened from a deep slumber. "I've got to go!" She exclaimed, checking the time on her watch.

"Are you sure there isn't anything I can do to help?" He asked, concerned. He didn't want her to go so soon. He liked the feeling he got with her. He hadn't had this feeling since Bella and he didn't want to lose it.

She looked up, surprised that he still wanted to help, not knowing what the problem was.

"Oh, no. It's okay. I've got to go, now. So, I guess I'll see you around, Edward." She smiled. "That is, if one of us doesn't disappear." She smiled, dry humor apparent on her face. He frowned. She waved at him one last time and hurried down the alley, turning back onto the sidewalk. Edward stood there, thinking about their brief conversation. There was something about her that he was drawn to. She almost resembled Bella in his eyes, but something set her apart. He couldn't figure out what it was.

'Oh well. It's not like I'm ever going to see her again.' He placed his hands back in his pockets and exited the alley. He walked all the way back to the motel, not knowing that life sometimes throws surprises out there. Even to monsters.
