Chapter 1-Introduction

Bella POV

I looked at my ever-present bodyguard Santiago and sighed. Ever since the last assassination attempt 2 days ago, Santiago wouldn't let me out of his sight. But then again, he had a good reason to. The last assassins sent by the Organization had managed to leave a mark on me, both physically and emotionally. Not only had they scraped a dagger along my back leaving a scar, but they had also killed my love, Stephan Salvatore.

Your probably confused so let me explain what is going on. My name is Isabella Sophia Casterwill (17), but I prefer Bella. I am an orphan. My family can trace its roots all the way back to the founding of Rome, which is where I am from-Italy that is. I am the last Casterwill left. Not only are my family nobles, almost royalty really, but we are also an old Seeker family. Seekers are people with really strong will who can control immortal spirits called Titans. Titans are contained inside Amulets until activated by their Seeker. My family once had a really powerful Amulet containing the Titan Kahlahn, who had the power to seduce people. This Amulet was lost around 200 A.D. But I have recovered it.

When I was 3 years, my parents took our Butler Luciano, his son Santiago, who was 5 years my senior, and me to our beach house. While there, there was a house fire and my parents were unable to get out leaving me as an orphan. The government sent a man named Aro Volturi to take care of me. Aro was wonderful, a little stuffy, but would make sure all my needs were taken care of. He had tutors hired to make sure I had all the etiquette and skills of an Italian noble such as dancing, manners, diplomacy, foreign language (Spanish, Italian, French, English, and German). Until I met Eclipse, they were my only family: Luciano like my caring uncle, Santiago like my teasing brother, and Aro like the stuffy and gruff great-uncle.

You may be wondering what-or who- Eclipse is. You see each Seeker is part of a team. My team consists of Zhalia Moon (24), Dante Vale (25), Lok Lambert (17), and Sophia(17) Celeste and we are called Eclipse. Stephan used to be part of Eclipse, but I don't wish to talk of him. It causes too much pain. I can feel the hole in my heart still. Sophia says someone will mend it soon, but it doesn't seem possible.

Lok Lambert and I went to the same school, Venice Preparatory Academy. Lok had fallen asleep during class so I agreed to tutor him. At his dorm, I found out that his father was a Seeker, and told him to take it to the famous Huntik Agent Dante Vale. Just as I told him, Organization Suits attacked us and Lok and I got separated. I managed to beat up the Suits and Dante Vale had saved Lok. Dante agreed to teach Lok and I the ways of a Seeker over the summer. That is how I met Lok and Dante.

While on our first mission, we met Zhalia Moon who is actually an ex-Suit. She had been sent to spy on us but she and Dante fell in love. Zhalia has faithful ever since.

3 missions later, we met Sophia Celeste, or Sophie, as she liked to be called. She too was a Seeker who was traveling alone. She joined our team and soon fell in love with Lok.

Right about now, I started feeling like a 5th wheel. Then I met Stephan Salvatore. The Salvatores were also an old Seeker family and an Italian noble family. I actually met Stephan at a social party and he had heard about Eclipse. He asked to join and we accepted. We fell in love.

It wasn't hard to fall in love with him. He was kind sweet, caring, he liked me for me, not my money or body. He was charming with dazzling, almost-black eyes that made me go weak in the knees and forget what I was thinking. His hair was never in order, and was an almost black color. I had loved to run my arms through them. His jaws were sharp. His cheekbones were high and defined. His lips were soft, pink, and so kissable with dimples when he smiled.

Eclipse and I were one of the best teams in the Huntik Foundation. We also battled the Professor, the leader of the Organization. We defeated him with the combined powers of Salvatore and Casterwill. The Organization was falling apart after his death. The last remaining agents went on an assassination mission to kill Stephan and me. They killed him. They killed my reason to live.

I had almost gone mad, but my friends helped keep me sane. I decided to move somewhere else to get away from everything. So I did. I am now in the process of moving into my new home in the little, dreary town of Forks, Washington.

To think I found a family and love and lost love in just one summer.


This is my first fanfic. I will do my best to add a chapter every day!
