So, this seemed like an interesting idea, and i'm going to give it a shot. I like it, so I'll probably keep writing it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or anything to do with it. I own the concept of this story, but not the charaters.
I was finally settled into my room of our new home in Alaska, and getting used to school when Esme told, or rather, thought it was time to moved again. I groaned, looking at her. Of course, she and Carlisle had some good reasoning.
"I'm sorry Edward. It's for the best. Carlisle thinks the people at the hospital are catching on that he really isn't as old he says he is. Plus, there's just to many of us for the area. People are getting suspicious. You should know this better then anyone, dear." I nodded in defeat. She was right. Several people had been raising questions about who we really were. When things like this happened, we just disappeared. It was easier that way.
One thing I hadn't quite gotten used to yet, was the constant swooning of teenage girls. Yes, physically I'm 17, but really I'm nearing the 90-100 range. But they don't know that. They see me as the only available Cullen, and are attracted to me. It's horrible, my mind is plagued with their fantasy's and girly crap. It makes me sick sometimes that they would rape me with their eyes.
True enough, there were too many 'vegetarian' vampires in the area. Tanya's coven was here first, so we were moving. I didn't mind, Tanya was among my swooning fans.
We were packed up and moving in record time, thanks to our inhuman speed and strength. We had to drive, because we had our suitcases and furniture. We were on our way to Forks, Washington. It was always rainy, so our skin wouldn't sparkle and give us away. Alice, Jasper and I were in his car, going nearly 200mph. It was a tendency of vampires to drive quickly. Alice suddenly let out a gasp.
A little girl, brown hair and chocolate eyes, was sitting in a golden meadow, her knees tucked to her chest. She was visibly crying, her shoulders shuttering from the cold. Her dress was ripped, and had dry blood on it. She sniffed, wiping her eyes, unaware of a vampire silently approaching her from behind.
A snap of a twig revealed his presence. She was to her feet, and turned around in a clumsy speed, almost loosing her balance. She looked almost five. Her brown eyes widened, looking at the ravenous vampire. She stepped back, sniffling. He stepped forward, in a single long stride, and she whimpered, turning to run.
He grabbed her from behind, sinking to her level.
I didn't need to see the rest of her vision to know what he was going to do. I was out the door of the moving vehicle in half a second, and to the meadow in 2 seconds. Sure enough, there was the vampire in Alice's vision, along with the crying child. The wind blew, and I froze.
The human girls sent through my mind into a void, where the monster took over. I hadn't a clue what my body was doing on it's own, and I didn't recover for several seconds. Seconds, that could ended the child's life.
The vampire was dead, already burning to a crisp. I had torn him apart, then set fire to the limbs and parts. Now, the child was pinned securely beneath my body, my left hand holding her head to the side, revealing her neck, and my other hand holding her shoulder in a bone crushing hold. I could feel her shaking, visibly crying. But the worst part, my teeth were at her neck. and if I moved them, she would be dead, and her blood would be washing through my throat.
"Edward, calm down, don't hurt her. She's a child." I could hear Carlisle's voice, it was what stopped me from killing her. The monster in my head screamed for me to do it, to tear her throat out and drink the luscious blood that was pulsating through her veins.
I listened for her thoughts, to hear her fear and persuade myself to let the innocent creature go. But there was silence. My first thoughts were that she wasn't thinking, but it was impossible, her thoughts would be never ending, especial since she was a child. But there was nothing. I listened harder, irritated. A growl escaped my throat, my jaw tightening. She whimpered.
A blanket of calmness surrounded me. It did nothing to tame the monster, who wanted the blood of this child. I stopped breathing, cutting off her scent. I could feel my entire families presence, watching me, and tensing for the moment I would slip, and take the life of this girl.
"Edward, just let her go, please." Esme's voice pleaded. Her voice reminded me of our lifestyle, and I had never tasted blood in 70 years. The monster was reluctant, but I pulled away from her throat. I was suddenly ripped away from her, leaving her shaking on the ground.
Emmett had his arms around my waist, and was holding on tight. I snarled, struggling to get free and get back to the child. The monster was controlling me again. Emmett slammed me to the ground, pinning me down.
"Just calm down, Edward." Rose's voice commanded. I took a deep breath, which was obviously the wrong decision. Her scent filled my nose again, and I fought harder then ever to get Emmett off me. His thoughts, however, were what stopped me.
I've never seen him like this, I won't be able to hold out against this much longer...
I stopped struggling immediately, and laid there beneath Emmett's weight. I inhaled the scent again, and to my surprise, the monster seemed to ignore it, seeing as he wouldn't be getting a chance for the blood any time soon. I relaxed my muscles, showing Emmett I wasn't going to be a problem anymore. He still didn't let off.
"Will you tell me your name?" Esme's sweet voice asked. I closed my eyes and listened for her voice, to see what's going on.
She's terrified. Edward's going to get it when we get to our new house. How could he do this to a child!
"B-Bella." A soft voice replied. If my body was alive, my heart would have fluttered and my stomach would have twisted. Her voice was sweet, and friendly, even if it was twisted with fear and pain. I remembered now that I broke a bone in her shoulder.
I can't believe this, I could've stopped Edward, or at least I could've tried! I saw the vision when he decided to help, but I couldn't recover quick enough! What good are these talents if I can't help anyone? Alice's thoughts entered my mind.
"Alice." I said hoarsely. "It isn't your fault, don't blame yourself." My throat burned with the desire for blood. I took another deep breath, her scent making my head spin. Alice was saying something, but apparently not to me, cause I could hardly hear her.
"Bella, may I look at your shoulder? I'm a doctor." Carlisle said in a kind voice. I wanted so badly to see her. I twisted my head around, to see if I could at least get a glance at her, but I was facing the opposite way.
"Emmett, I think you can let off him." Esme said, coming over. "There are enough of us to stop him should her attempt to harm her again." Emmett looked at her for a minute, then got up. I got to my feet, and looked over at the child first thing. She was seat, and Carlisle was examining parts of her shoulder.
"I need to hunt." I said, turning the opposite way, and leaving instantly.

I returned home later that night, after drinking so much animal blood I'd should be set for life. But I was only taking precautions. Apparently that child lived in Forks, and should I ever run into her again, I don't want to kill her.
As I approached the house, her scent filled my nose. I brushed it off as my families clothes were covered in the sweet fragrance. However, that changed when I stepped through the door to see her sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket, my blanket. She had a box with a straw in her one hand, her other arm in a swing. I froze when she looked at me.
"I'm really sorry, you know." She said. I'm sure my face showed extreme confusion. Why was she apologizing to me? I was the one her broke her shoulder bone, and scared the hell out of her I'm sure.
"W-why?" I asked. I ever so slowly moved to the couch and had a seat next to her.
The monster raged, but my own curiosity pummeled it to the corner, telling it to shut up. She made my mind twist up, and ask question after question. I didn't understand this girl, at all. Her blood allured me, her scent allured me, and I threatened her very life, broke her shoulder, and she was apologizing to me?
"Well, I'm using your blanket, but I didn't ask. My mom told me I should always ask before taking someone's stuff." I just stared at her. She was sorry she was using my blanket without asking. My mind shouted at me, confused on why this innocent creature did not fear me, a deadly and murderous vampire.
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Well, cause you really aren't as scary as you think." Again, I just stared at her.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked, wanting to know if Carlisle had given her some kind of drug to make her think like she was.
"They went out looking for you. Mrs. Esme wanted to stay, but Mrs. Alice shushed her out the door, telling her you were important at the moment, and I'd fall asleep in a matter of seconds. I pretended to be sleepy, and they all left. Then I looked around the house. I found this in the refrigerator, Mr. Carlisle brought them home from the hospital."
"Did one of them give you my blanket?" I asked. "It's okay if you use it, I was just wondering."
"No, I found it in a box by the door. It's very cold in here, but you wouldn't know."
"How would you know I wouldn't know?"
