Chapter 1 My Story

I am Sam, short for Samantha Cullen. What the hell you ask? Well let me fill you in on my story.

I was changed at the age of fourteen. I was abandoned in the forest outside of Port Townsend, Washington. Found in the Olympic Peninsula, it was rainy. I guess I should have been thankful for that weather pattern but I had always liked the dry, sunny places better. I longed for a family, companions of any sort would do, but I wanted the sense of belonging that a family gives you.

I wondered on my own, drinking when I only absolutely needed to. I hate the thought of taking any innocents life so at the moment I am devising a plan to change this. I couldn't stay in this small town, people were becoming suspicious. Research proved helpful, and I found that I wanted to live in a small town called Forks.

It had an unusual name and I liked unusual things. I was always noted for being random and different when I was a human, you see. I never was one to get my hopes up for things I wanted because usually I couldn't ever get them. One I wanted a family, and I knew there were other vampires in the world, but where the hell are they? And why would anyone in their right minds invite a strange person into their home to try to get to know them? So see I couldn't have the one thing I longed for most because I could never, would never fit in with humans and vampires aren't commonly seen.

When I made it to the little town I noted that I was hungry. Searching through the woods for a hunter or some other unlucky wanderer I caught a scent. It wasn't human but it was attractive nonetheless. Quietly I followed this new unfamiliar smell. I came upon a clearing and low and behold the most perfect person, well man, I had ever seen was standing not fifty yards from me.

He was well defined, I could see from his stance which was surprisingly in a crouch. His back was turned to me and the wind was blowing to me so he had no hope of smelling me just yet. He smelled amazing, though. He was not a human I could not hear a heartbeat and he was pale and obviously he looked like a predator.

Coming out of my little think session I noticed he was no more in front of me and I looked around noting that even if I have only been aware of his presence for a little under three minutes, I missed his smell. When I faced behind me I came to see two gold eyes not a foot away from me.

"And you are?" he prompted.

"Call me Sam." I liked the rough sound of his voice, low and edgy.

"Why are you here Sam?"

"Well like you I came here to feed but caught your scent and followed it." What the hell? I didn't want him to know that. I was just pouring out the answers I wanted kept secret. What if I told him my past which was my darkest secret? What would he think then?

"Oh, but you don't feed off of animals? Were you hoping to find some lone hunter?" his eyes blazed with such intensity, I felt as though I was lost and couldn't find the lie I had wanted to use to cover the truth.

"Yes, I know no other way to survive. We are what fate has chosen to make us and how could you know that I don't feed off of animals?"

"I know because your eyes are red and mine are gold. We can feed off animals and make our existence the best. By the way Sam my name is Matt, short for Mathew." With that he turned on his heel and left. He left me with a new piece of information with which I would ponder over for a while.

I decided to try out his way of living. I came in here a predator of humans and now I would become a part of the natural food chain.

Looking for the biggest animal I could find, I mentally checked Matt out. He is fine! Longish brown hair, sharp facial features, toned body, and hot sexy voice. Just the kind of person I was looking for. Someone to hold me when I was unsure, someone to tell me things would turn out. That's when I knew I needed Matt.

(Matt's pov)

I could sense someone or something near but I couldn't tell who or what it was. I knew it wasn't any of my family, they all had a distinct smell that I would never forget, it couldn't be human because I always have found that particular scent to enticing, but then what did that leave me with?

A snap sounded from behind me and suddenly my instincts went into overdrive. Something my father, Edward Cullen, had said crept upon me. Don't let your prey know you know that they were close enough to be in danger. In other words don't let her know I knew she was there. Slowly I turned my head to see a gorgeous woman with a glazed over expression in the foliage behind me. At super speed I stalked behind her.

She turned and suddenly I asked, "And you are?"

"Call me Sam." She was confident I could tell.

"Why are you here Sam?" I suddenly noticed her black eyes. They had a ring of red around them, she was a vampire, and right now she wasn't exactly well fed.

"Well like you I came here to feed but caught your scent and followed it." She was uncomfortable. I guess even when I didn't command my power to be used it worked anyways. I made people say the truth. No one could lie to me.

"Oh, but you don't feed off of animals? Were you hoping to find some lone hunter?" I said with sarcasm dripping from the words. Somehow I knew she only wanted to feed and be done with it, but something compelled me to taunt her.

"Yes, I know no other way to survive. We are what fate has chosen to make us and how could you know that I don't feed off of animals?" she was confused. She was cute when she was confused. SNAP OUT OF IT!!! I couldn't let myself become like that.

"I know because your eyes are red and mine are gold. We can feed off animals and make our existence the best. By the way Sam my name is Matt, short for Mathew." I then turned and walked through the forest.

Home. The only place I could truly be myself without worrying that anyone would find out my true identity. When I walked in I was greeted by my mother, Isabella Cullen, formerly Isabella Swan.

"How are you? Did you feed, because your eyes are still dark?"

I brushed off her questions with a brief, "later mom." And went up the stairs to my room. They had been to this town before I was born and this had formerly been my father's room. I was closest to my uncle Jasper because he didn't pry but he did understand and he was always trying to help me. Emmett was the one I went to when I needed a pick me up or just when I wanted to have a good time. Rosalie taught me everything I know about cars. Alice just wanted to shop and seeing as I was a boy I really didn't follow that trip. Carlisle mostly kept to himself but I never held that against him because that was the way I was. Mom and dad stayed together all of the time like if they weren't then somehow they would be separated. Esme was so nice, she stayed out of my business for the most part but she was so helpful.

Back to thinking about Samantha, no Sam. She was beautiful no doubt about that but I could also sense she had a deep mind and a dark past. I wanted to figure her out. I would.
