Prologue
Hi my name is Bella Swan, I'm seventeen and… I'm a werewolf. Don't believe me right? Well get this my boyfriend, he's a vampire. Pretty crazy right? Now I'm going to tell you a story, but first some background information. I haven't been a werewolf all my life in fact I just recently turned, on my fifteenth birthday. I'm also not an ordinary werewolf I'm sort of special. For one thing I'm part vampire, see my mother's father was a vampire but her mother was a werewolf so my mother is half vampire. Then she married my father who was; you guessed it, a werewolf. Then they had me, a part werewolf part vampire thing. I also have a, I guess you would call it, gift. I can control the four elements, you know earth, water, fire, and air. Now more about the werewolf part of me, unlike normal werewolves (is there such a thing as a normal werewolf?) who can only transform when they're angry, I can transform whenever I want to. Also unlike other werewolves, who are generic animal colors, I am white with burgundy streaks. Enough about me I'm sure you're itching to hear about my boyfriend the vampire. First of all forget all of the stories you've ever heard, most of them aren't true. For instance sleeping in coffins, myth, can only come out at night, myth, can't come near garlic, myth, killed by a stake through the heart, definite myth. Really the only true part is that they drink blood. Although my vampire and his family don't drink human blood, they drink animal blood. Some of them also have gifts. Edward, my boyfriend, can read peoples thoughts (except mine hee hee). Alice, his sister, can see the future, unless it involves a werewolf. Jasper, his brother, can feel people's emotions and manipulate them. The rest of Edward's family doesn't have powers. I should also mention that there are two major families in Forks, Washington. The Quileutes, my family, and the Cullens, Edward's family. There has been a feud between the two families for near two centuries, safe to say vampires and werewolves don't really like each other. Anyway, now onto the story.
I have known Edward for about a hundred years. Oh, did I forget to mention that vampires and werewolves are immortal? Anyway I'm going all the way to the beginning. It's October 26, 2008 and I've known Edward and his secret for about two weeks, he just asked me to his house to meet the rest of his family…
"But what if they don't like me?" I inquired. He just smiled his beautiful smile and said,
"My dearest Bella, how could they not like you?" Reluctantly I agreed to go. On the way there he told me that one person in his family might not like me.
"Who?" I asked, thoroughly bewildered.
"Rosalie." He replied looking at me through the corner of his eye. I couldn't understand it; Rosalie had never even met me, why would she hate me? "Why?" I inquired looking at him curiously.
"She has a bit of a personal grudge with werewolves, a pack of them killed her human family and almost killed her before Carlisle found them and fought them off, and changed Rosalie." He was now looking at the road with a decidedly determined gaze.
"But it's not like I had anything to do with that." I said. By this time we had reached his house.
"Just forget about it and relax, okay?" He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
"Uh huh." I mumbled back, to dazed to speak coherently. I heard his door open and then almost immediately he was at my door opening it for me and helping me out.
"Ready?" he asked.
"No" I replied weakly.
"Relax you'll do fine I promise." He said with a chuckle. We were just entering his house now. Here goes nothing, I thought and I stepped through the doorway as Edward smiled and held the door open. And then it hit me.
