Edward's sister.

Chapter 1

The rain was just beginning to fall. I was silently staring out of the window. Bella is out hunting with Alice and Rosalie. Every time she leaves me I always get depressed but it's also the only time I can think about my more private thoughts. A surge of happiness flowed through me slowly. At times like this, Jasper is always my favourite brother. An arm slowly wound around my waist. The angelic face suddenly appeared in front of my face. A smile lit up on it.

"Miss me?" Bella asked

"You know it" I replied

The smile on her face turned hesitant suddenly.

"Bella what's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Well, when I was hunting I was thinking about families. Please can you tell me more about your human family," She looked frightened.

"Well, I lived in east Chicago near a forest and…" I hesitated; this was a thought that was my most private thought. It was the secret I was most ashamed of.

"Go one" urged Bella

"I was an only child. I'm sorry but I don't remember any more" I finished. Swiftly, I got up leaving Bella wide eyed and shocked. I needed time to myself time to think.

November 18th 1916

"Edward." My mother signalled me to come to her.

"Yes mother?" I asked. Her and father were solemnly sitting at our old run down table.

"Son, look around at our house" my father spoke gravely. Obediently, I looked around. Rotting wood made up our house frame. It looked like it was almost about to crush. Paint was peeling off of the walls.

"It's alright" I replied. I didn't want to make father angry for speaking bad about our house.

"Edward you can tell the truth. I know that our house isn't of a respectable manner and because of our lack of money we have to-". Suddenly mother burst into tears.

"Mother, what is wrong?" I asked alarmed.

"Because of our lack of money we have to abandon Elizabeth." finished father

I suddenly turned rigid. I couldn't abandon Elizabeth. My only sister. My best friend.

November 21st 1916

"Edward where are you taking me to?" asked my 12 year old sister Elizabeth. Her bronze coloured hair rustled while she skipped along side of me.

"To somewhere special." I barely managed to reply. Today was the day.

"Are we there yet?" she asked happily.

"Soon" I replied "Elizabeth why don't we walk in silence until we get there" and I shut my eyes and thought of the days I spent with her.

Finally we reached the spot.

"Elizabeth we're here"

"This is far in the forest" she stated.

"Wait here, I'll be back" but I never will. Quickly I turned around and shut my eyes as tears started spilling over.
