Chapter 1:

Choices

I was running as far and as fast as I possibly could not knowing exactly where I was headed. I had been running for days and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I suddenly felt an ache in my throat, I was thirsty. I hadn't been hunting in a month, just running. I was afraid if I stopped I might give in.

I ran away from my coven while we were hunting, they probably quite looking for me a few weeks ago. I had no other choice but to leave them though.

The ache in my throat kept burning. I had to hunt. Right then a herd of elk was passing and I took what I could get. Without a second thought I went with my instincts and went to attack.

Suddenly I felt a gust of wind but it wasn't the breeze it was another vampire or two possibly. This couldn't be happening, not now anyways.

Out of nowhere this incredibly fast vampire jumped on the herd of elk without a second thought like she had done this many times. As I went to turn around and run the stunning vampire stood up and turned to me. She was one of the most beautiful vampires I have ever seen. Her eyes were a amber like color other than crimson like mine which confused me. For a minute it looked like she was looking at someone asking for approval of whether she was allowed to approach me and she just nodded and without a second look she stood a started walking towards me.

Suddenly she was beside me within less than a second " Hi, I'm Bella Cullen and this is my Husband Edward," she said with the most beautiful voice and then without warning I heard another voice behind me which I was guessing was her husbands.

"Hello I'm Edward Cullen and whom am I speaking too?,"was all he said with the most gorgeous crooked smile on his face. At this point I didn't know what to do but stand there and look like the stupid vampire I am.

Finally I managed to think again when Bella asked Edward whether I was ok or not. All Edward did was nod his head and say "give her a minute Bella,".

Without thinking I said "S-Selena," with a little bit of a stutter for the first time in my existence. I had never heard a vampire stutter, actually I didn't think it was possible but apparently I was wrong, so I tried again.

"My name is Selena."

Bella managed to say something before Edward could speak but I didn't catch what she had said. I was still fairly new to the vampire world, 8 years to be exact, so my attention span was bad still.

Within another minute or two I heard another voice, this was a very pleasant voice. It sounded kind of like singing but nicer and oddly I wanted to be friends with this person already.

As I turned around I saw this cute pixie like girl walking my way. She had gold eyes like Edward and she had short black hair that was sticking out in every direction. She was very graceful, like a dancer and she looked to be very stylish in a pleasant way.

"Hello I'm Alice and you must be Selena. It's very nice to meet you.,"she waved and smiled at me.

"Wait how do you know my name?,"was all I could manage to say.

The very graceful girl started to walk closer and then of course another vampire leaped in front of her with a very panicked look on his face. He started to say something and then stopped. It looked like he was unwilling to move but after a second of silence he moved aside.

"There is no need to be afraid Selena. We only want to help.,"Alice said.

I was surrounded by a group of weird vampires. Great like I didn't have enough problems on my hands, but maybe Alice wasn't lying maybe she did want to help me but that was beyond the point....

Without warning Edward started growling at someone but I was pretty sure it wasn't me, but of course no one said anything so what is he growling for? As I looked around observing the group of vampires surrounding me I noticed one in particular.

It was a girl she had blonde hair and golden eyes. She looked like a goddess even through my eyes but she had a very disturbed look on her face like she was unhappy or like she didn't want to be here. From what I could tell she didn't like me already which I have no idea why. It just looked like she was very angry that they ran into me.

The next thing I knew, Edward was on the other side of me growling at the goddess like creature "Rosalie, stop that she means no harm!,".

Were they talking about me? From what I could tell they were talking about me but why? I hadn't said that much.

Then their argument just stopped and a man,a very handsome man, that looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties emerged from the trees with a beautiful and loving looking woman by his side which was obviously his mate.

"Hello dear child. I am Carlisle and I know you are probably a little scared but will you like to come over to our house for a little while and discuss some things?,".

All I could choke out was "Your house?,".

"Yes we contain a permanent residence here because of our life still choice gives us the option to do so" -he paused a second to looked at Edward and Alice like he was asking a question, both, Edward and Alice nodded in unison- "yes, so shall we take this to our house?,".

"Ummm...sure," was all I said and all I could think of. I had no idea what to say to these vampires. They all seem so unique.

"Our house is right through the woods over there" -he gestured his hand over towards the west- "so shall we go then?,".

"yes, lets." was all I could manage to say before all of them were gone.
