I am Isabella Cullen. I go by Bella though. I used to be Isabella Swan, when i was a human, but i changed it to Cullen. I joined the Cullens 75 years ago. I've been a vampire for 100 years. I lived with the Denali clan for a while, but went on my own after a few years. I am 18 forever. I live in Forks, Washington with my family. Our story is that we're all adopted. Emmett, and i were biologically related, we were 3 when our parents died, so we dont have many memories of them. Rosalie and Jasper are twins. They were 12 when their parents "died" and were adopted. And then there's Alice and Jacob. Alice goes by Cullen, like Emmett and I, because she doesnt have her human memories. And Jacob, goes by his former name. Black. He was adopted last year.

Alice and Jasper are dating. They've been together since they met. Rosalie and Emmett are together. They've been together since Rosalie saved him.

Carlisle and Esme had hoped that Jacob and I would be together, but that hasnt-and wont- happen. Oh, by the way, Carlisle and Esme are my adoptive parents.

Jacob and I are best friends. I love him, but not how Carlisle wants. Our family does not survive on human blood. We found that you can survive on animal blood, and keep a perminant residence somewhere. We have been living in Forks for 2 years now.

Oh, and one more thing. Some vampires have special abilities. I have one. I have a sheild that stops most vampire abilities from affecting me, and i have some kind of abnormal self control. Alice is a psychic. She can see your future, only when you've made the decision. And Jasper, can control you're emotions.


I drove the family to school. I absolutely loath school. I've finished high school i dont even remember how many times. I lost count. I have also been through college a few times. Atleast i have atleast one family member in each class. Except one. Biology. In biology i am the only person who sits alone. I sit the the very back of the classroom.

When we got to school, we had a few minutes, so everyone stood by my mustang. I had a red mustang. (A/N lolz i dnt know much about cars...so...yahh...)

I was used to people staring at me by now. But today was different. There was a new boy. He had tousled bronze hair, and he had very few imperfections. I would say, he's almost perfect. He was very interesting to look at. He had wonderful emerald green eyes. They were beautiful.

Maybe i could talk to him. I mean, its not like his blood would appeal to me. I have my self control. I started to walk -at human pace- torwards him.

"Where are you going, Bella?" Emmett asked me.

"To talk to this boy. He's...different. I can tell. There's something about him..." I kept walking. Emmett dropped it, but they were watching me. I was five feet away from him, when the wind blew and his scent came at me. It was like....i dont even know how to describe it. It was the most mouthwatering thing i had ever smelled. I crouched, ready to spring. There werent many people here, maybe 5. I could take them.

"Bella NO!" Alice yelled. I didnt look away from this boy. Something crashed into my side, throwing me away from the amazing scent. I hit a tree, which broke in half. I saw Emmett in front of me.

"Thanks Em" i smiled at him.

"Sure, sure" We had all been around Jacob too much.

"I think you should go home" Jacob said, as he walked up to us. I shook my head.

"It just took me by surprise. I can handle it."

"No, you cant. You've never had problems with humans. Now, you're five feet away and you get ready to attack."

"Jacob. I can handle it! I have to get to know this guy. Have to. I can feel that theres something different about him." I tried to convince them. After a while, they finally cracked and let me stay.

During lunch, i was sitting with my family, as usual when he came up.

"Uh, Hi. Im ...Edward" He seemed dazed by our looks. His heartbeat was beating way to fast. I forced a smile. It was still pretty bad, but i was expecting it, and that made the smell a little bit better.

"Im Bella" I greeted him. Then i pointed everyone out to him. "Thats Jacob. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie"

"Oh. Nice to meet you all. Can i sit down?" I looked at Alice frantically.

"Will i hurt him?" I asked low enough he wouldnt notice.

"No" she whispered back, sure. He didnt even know anybody was talking. He just stood there, his hand on the back of the chair on the left side of me.

"Go ahead"

He sat down and we talked for a bit. When lunch was over i found out that he had Biology next too.

He had to sit beside me, which somehow didnt bother him at all. It should. He should be terrified. Being in this closed classroom with him was very difficult. The little monster inside of me was trying to convince me that it was okay to kill him. That it wouldnt hurt anyone but him. But i resisted the urge. I knew i couldnt hurt him.

When school was over, Jacob went hunting with me. I knew nobody was going to approve of this. Well, except for Carlisle and Esme. And maybe Jacob.

I crouched ready to attack my prey. The lion was crossing the feild. I pounced on the lion. He fought back, which only made it more fun. His scratches did nothing against my tough skin. I snapped his neck and brought my mouth to its jugular. I felt the blood sliding down my throat. I hungrily drank the lion dry, then looked for another.

I drank three more, and figured i was full enough not to hurt him.

I didnt go home. I went to his house. I didnt plan on it, i didnt even know where he lived. But somehow, i ended up at his house, looking into his window -which was on the first floor- at him, sleeping peacefully in his bed.

The window was open. Easy enough. I climbed in and stood at the edge of his bed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. I was about to run, but he just flopped back down on the bed and fell back asleep. I watched him sleep until i heard his parents getting up. I snuck back out the window and ran home. I changed clothes, and ignored my family despite their off stares.

I drove our family to school, and met Edward at his car.

"Hey" I was right. It was easier to be around him, when i had just hunted.

"Hey. You look....different" He said. I felt my eyes widen.

"W-What?" I studdered. I didnt know it was possible for vampires to studder.

"Your eyes.....they're different. Yesterday they were...black..."

"Contacts" I lied easily. He seemed to buy it.

"Oh." He paused. "Well, how are you today?"

"Good, and you?"

"Bored already" I laughed.

"Me too."

That day went by quickly too. During lunch i heard a few guys talking about how much they hated Edward. Oddly i wanted to go and hurt them for saying that. Why would i want to do such a thing? I mean, he's only a human.

I went hunting again, after school. And then went home to talk to my family about this.

"Bella. I think its dangerous" Esme said.

"Esme its not dangerous. I cant hurt him. I feel like i would die if i hurt him." i told her. And it was the truth. Alice spoke up next.

"She's made up her mind. She wont hurt him. I saw...." she paused, deliberating whether or not to tell. She saw the look in my eyes, and told us. "I saw him as one of us"

"What?!" I was surprised.

"You....marry him. You love a human." She explained to me.

"No! I cant love him! He's just a human!"

"Well. You do" she told me.

What do you think? Is it any good, or should i delete it? I hope you like it! Review!

&Lots of Love
