A New Beginning
Prologue
EPOV
It was September 13th. It had been exactly 1 year since the incident. Almost a year since he left Forks… since he left her. Her chocolate-colored eyes, her long brown hair, her soft pink lips had been haunting his thoughts mercilessly.
After Jasper attacked her, Edward and the rest of the Cullens left Forks and moved to Buffalo. That's what they did; they moved from one cloudy, rainy city to another. That wasn't a depressing way to live or anything. But they couldn't go walking down the street in sunlight. You see, the Cullens were vampires. They looked like disco balls in the sun, which is something that humans would definitely notice.
Almost immediately after leaving Forks, Edward had regretted it. He had unwittingly left his heart - cold and still as it was - in Forks. Now, he was going to get it back. He was determined to make everything right. He was going to get the love of his life... no ... the love of his existence back … his Bella.
Edward drove his silver Volvo down the streets of Forks. He decided to stop by his house before going to Bella. He drove down the familiar roads in this small town (much too quickly. Vampire reflexes and all that). He had forgotten just how green Forks was.
He was so completely lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice that something was… different… as he drove up the long driveway to the Cullen house. As he got closer and closer, he heard voices in his head. Almost as if there were dozens of people at the house.
"Why would anyone be at the house? No one knew it was here," thought Edward. "Had someone found it while we were gone? A group of adventurous kids? A hideout for addicts?"
As he pulled into the clearing, he couldn't believe his eyes. (His superhuman eyes that could see every detail and had never been fooled before.)
Everything had changed…
