Hi. I decided to write this after I got this really, well I think, really cool idea from a very well known and loved film (I won't tell you as the plot is loosely based on it). I know this chapter is incredibly short, but that's just because it's the intro. The chapters will become MUCH longer so don't fret. I really hope you like it and please review as it's not worth doing if no one seems to be reading. So yeh lets see if we can get a good amount of reviews! I know this chapter sounds like Twilight from Edwards's point of view but I assure its going to be VERY different...

A Never Ending Walk

Chapter One: Brown Haired Beauty

My family and I sat at the table in the cafeteria that we had dubbed as ours since we came to Forks High School a year ago. We talked quietly to one another, our food lying in front of us unappetizing. I laughed as my brother Emmet lifted an apple to his mouth and took a large bite out of it, his face screwing up as he swallowed it. This is the only part of the human charade we pulled that we all despised; eating human food. It tasted absolutely vile and I couldn't disagree with Emmet's look of pure revulsion as he forced himself to take another bite.

"I heard we have a new a girl ," Alice informed us randomly, her small pixie head turning round to search for the said person with strange excitement, I tried to hear her thoughts but she blocked me out by reciting the Bible word by word in Italian. Was she hiding something? Or was she planning to visit the Pope soon?

"Uh huh," Jasper said, playing with her fingers absentmindedly. He was trying to control his thirst, he recently became a 'vegetarian' as my family called ourselves, and he had a harder time staying away from the draining the humans than we did.

I chuckled at the mantra that ran through his mind repetitively.

I mustn't drink human blood, I mustn't drink human blood...what did Carlisle say...humans are people not food, people not food, people not food...

I turned my attention to my other siblings, Emmet and Rosalie, and upon seeing what they were now engaged in I wish I hadn't. Emmet appeared to be sucking Rosa's face off his large hands tangled into her long gold locks, pulling her head towards him. I looked at them in disgust and hissed lowly at them so only they could hear urging them to stop the heavy make out session as some people were looking at them in awe and admiration for what reason I don't know.

I rested my head in my hands and looked around the people around me. They really fascinated me, although I haven't been a vampire my entire life I have been for the last century so the development of my former species interests me. Of course I had developed with them but there were certain things I still didn't understand and some electronical devices' I found pointless. However there are some inventions like the car that I appreciate very much, I can't imagine my life without my silver Volvo, Alice often joked that no woman can win over my heart as the space is taken over by beloved car. I noticed a group of boys sat in the middle of the cafeteria, talking to some girls, their eyes and minds very far from the conversation itself. I looked at them in disgust as I heard their lustful thoughts towards the unknowing girls. Men of the 21st century are complete driven by one thing: there is also only one thing constantly on their mind twenty-four-seven.

It was when I was beginning to sound like a feminist that I saw her. She had rich brown hair that reached mid back, pale skin- the palest human I have ever seen and large brown doe eyes. Her lips were full; her face heart shaped a cute buttoned nose sat perfectly in the middle. She had a slim build and was neither short or tall, about five foot six or seven. She was perfection. She walked beside three girls that I recognized from some of my classes, two of them gushing over her, quizzing her whilst the other one glared at her. They sat down at a table at the other end of the cafeteria, but with my sharp hearing I could hear everything they said perfectly.

"So, how do you like the school?" one I knew from my English Literature class asked her.

"Its nice, small" she answered with a hint of shyness, her voice was angelic and melodic it was a incredibly pleasant sound and from the three syllables she uttered I longed to hear more.

"So, where did you come from again?" a blond called Lauren asked unconcerned, her voice thick with hostility.

"Arizona," she replied, not even a bit of bitterness evident towards Lauren's rude behaviour, in her answer.

"Oh, so why did you move here?"

"Lauren!" Shouted my personal stalker Jessica Stanley, hitting the blond girl's arm reproachfully.

"Family stuff," she replied simply, her face void of any emotion, I wondered what was up here and listened in to her thoughts, my face then dropped abruptly I couldn't hear anything. I tried once more, concentrating hard, but yet I still remained unsuccessful. My brow furrowed in bewilderment and I turned away from the brown haired beauty. What had just happened? I could hear anyone's thoughts, anyone's. No matter where I was, hell if I concentrated hard enough I could hear the thoughts of the President.

I looked once more at her, stumped. What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I? Never had this happened to me, never in my entire hundred years has anyone, human or vampire, been able to purposely shut their thoughts from me without knowing my power. Did she know my power? No, of course not, I was just being ridiculous now. How could she? Maybe I was just having a bad day...no that can't be it; I could still hear Jessica's lustful fantasies.

Oh, if only I could have him for an hour...or two. Oh God look at his body, its magnificent, He must be simply heavenly in bed...Oh can you imagine how wonderful it'd be his body on mine...Edward Cullen. Mrs Edward Cullen Mrs Jessica Edward Cullen...

I shuddered uncontrollably; I really didn't need to know that. The idea that a woman would have those sorts of thoughts shocked me still, I was brought up in the early 1900's where all men were gentlemanly and women innocent and shy. Of course I have seen how women have changed through the many years, but yet I felt uncomfortable when a woman had sexual thoughts running through her mind constantly. I looked at the girls, turning away from them when I caught Jessica's eyes and she smiled broadly at me. Oh no. I turned my attention to whatever my siblings were talking about, still listening to the girls at the other corner, looking at them from the corner of eye.

"Did you see that?" gushed Jessica. "Eye contact for more than ten seconds..."

I rolled my eyes and braced my self for what ever idiotic symbol of importance this held for her. She dug into her multicoloured backpack, after retrieving many books, that I noticed with heightened vampire eye sight adorned many scribbles of Mrs Jessica Edward Cullen, she yanked out a magazine. I recognized it as a British magazine that Alice also followed called Sugar. With this recognition I shuddered once more, whatever was in there wasn't going to be good, well for me anyway. Alice had once made the family read all her fashion magazines; after she had declared that we didn't take her I quote 'passion for fashion' seriously. Of course this only caused Emmet and I to tease her about her use of the annoying line from Bratz.

"Its says here in their Flirting 101 section that it means that there is mutual attraction and that he's defiantly interested." She squealed at the end of this clasping her hands together and looking at me in a way that made me feel uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, Jessica wasn't mean, she wasn't rude nor was she one of those girls who went round, she just lacked substance. Even if I were interested in her, it wouldn't work I was a monster and she was a human. We all know how that story ends.

I turned my attention to Alice who was looking intently at the new girl. A huge grin that was too big and too cheerful even on Alice's always smiling face graced her features. Her golden eyes sparkled brilliantly and it looked as if she might just erupt with excitement. What was up with the damn Pixie? And why on earth did she decide to block her mind off from with one of Katy Perry's songs?

"Alice what are you hiding from me?" I asked her.

She turned around, putting on a face of innocence that I could see through.

"Alice," I growled at her lowly, narrowing my eyes at her in the hope of getting any information out of her.

"Nothing, Edward" she replied sweetly turning away from me.

Right, as if I believed her. I looked towards the girls once more in hope to see what fascinated Alice so much. It couldn't be the new student, sure Forks was a small town and everyone knew everyone but we did get visitors and new comers every once in a while yet I didn't see Alice acting like an energizer bunny on overdrive when they came.

The girls were still discussing the ten second duration that passed between Jessica and me. I rolled my eyes, honestly must Jessica analyze every move and observe every word I utter to anyone and come to the conclusion that we are destined together.

"So you think I should ask him for a coffee?"

"Totally," replied Lauren. "I mean it's so obvious that he's into you,"

She said this whilst trying to catch my eye. I scoffed at this, Jessica was just a airhead compared to the incredibly shallow Lauren. She twirled her fake platinum blond hair, biting her lip in an attempt to...god help me...seduce me? Here she was supporting Jessica into asking me out on a date at the same time as attempting to flirt with me.

As if he's interested in her, hell no, god she's stupid. Doesn't she the looks he gives me? Stupid bimbo. Ridiculous how easily lead this idiot is. She's just going to make a complete loser of herself when he rejects her, and then there I'll be ready for him. No one can say I stole her crush, because hello, he rejected her and chose me...

Lord help me, since when was Lauren on my case also? I didn't want them; I only want the brown haired- what? Where did that come from? Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue it was just a slip of the tongue. I rid my mind of these thoughts and began talking with Emmet in a hope that he'd distract from my thoughts.

"Hey, look at the new girl, pretty cute for a human"

Rosalie glared at him; her golden eyes narrowing dangerously, Emmet picked up on what he said and began babbling sheepishly.

"Of course nothing on you, babe"

"Uh huh, I hope so, or you'll ass will be barbecued and served to Chief Swan"

We all laughed at this apart from Emmet who looked frightened, it's quite hilarious to see him scared of Rosalie, but even funnier when Alice unleashes her Pixie fury onto him when he spills something on her clothes.

"She's quite pretty" Rosalie said after a while.

We all gaped at her, never had Rosalie paid anyone a compliment, and she seemed equally surprised at her comment and swiftly added "for a human."

"What's her name again?" asked Jasper, his hunger had subsided and his dark chocolate eyes had gone back to the golden colour that all vegetarian vampires had.

"Isabella Swan,"

"Swan she's the chief's daughter?" I asked.

They all nodded at me in answer. Oh. So this was the long awaited Chief daughter from a failed marriage. I turned back to her, and now noticed the subtle similarities she had with her father: the brown hair and the pale skin, her eyes also resembled those of our forty five year old chief police officer.

My attention was once more on the girls, how many times I had drifted in and out of their conversation today was beyond ridiculous. However what confused me was the knowledge that I wouldn't have listened intently to their conversation if Bella wasn't there. Why I was so fascinated by her was beyond me, why I wanted to get to know her, why I felt...complete when I set my eyes on her I couldn't explain.

"So you guys really think that I should ask him?" asked the girls around her for what felt like the millionth time.

Please say no. Please say no. Please say no.

"Yeh"

Damn.

"Totally"

"I agree, I mean online Cosmo told me that its sure that he's into me if we keep eye contact- mutual eye contact that he's into you"

"It could just be an indication of myopia" Bella said, lifting her head from the book that she had begun reading for the past seventeen minutes. I chuckled softly at this.

"You're so funny" Lauren trilled her blue eyes that were brown thanks to contacts shooting daggers at Bella.

Jessica surprisingly laughed at this, and sincerely. I had thought that she also was going to react negatively to Bella's comment but didn't.

"So any way's, I think I should do it tomorrow. What do you think I should wear? I have to look super cute. I hope it's sunny, and then I can wear that halter the pink one I got last Sunday went down to Port Angles..."

"Uh huh, totally and with that denim skirt I got you,"

They continued chatting well, Jessica, Lauren and the girl from English Lit talked, Bella however was quiet, and she contributed little to the conversation. After ten minutes she excused herself from the table, my eyes followed her as she passed my table and our eyes met in an intense lock, her bright brown orbs looking to my golden ones. The moment passed too quickly and she dumped her tray in the bin, before exiting and turning down the hall. My eyes remained at the exit, long after her departure, thinking about the way she had looked at me, as if she could see into my soul.

"Eddie!" called Emmet's deep rumbling voice. "Yo! Eddie, lunch's over man lets get to class"

I got up as he told me, making my way to my Algebra class robotically, I had no control of my body it was as if everything was on autopilot I entered the room, taking my usual seat at the back and withdrawing my book. I tried to make notes but every time I put my pen to paper, I would find my self drawing her. The shape of her eyes and her nose, her hair, the way she stared as if she saw right through me, right through all the barriers and walls. The way, I had noticed when she was picking out her lunch, that her left hand was larger then her right. What was her name? Who was she? And why did I even care so bloody much?

I hope you enjoyed that. Did I make Edward sound like a girl? I was TRYING to avoid that so did I? I hope not as he's meant to be super masculine and gorgeous and...Yeh... anyways before my note takes another course; I REALLY hope you liked that. Please review, I can't keep writing if no one seems to show interest in the story. So yeh REVIEW!
