Sunset
Chapter 1: Chemistry
It was a quiet Friday evening in the month of February. Nevaeh was fixing dinner for herself and her pregnant sister, Mallory. Lauren was busy cheerleading at the Forks High School wrestling match.
"Is Lauren going to be home for dinner?" Nevaeh asked while chopping up the onions. Nevaeh, the middle sister, is eighteen years old and in her first year of college. She has curly, long black hair with a pink streak on the left side, near her bangs. She is five foot five with piercing green eyes. Even though the sun rarely shines in Forks, her skin was tan from the many family vacations to Hawaii.
"No, she said she was going to be out late... again... like usual.." Mallory, the oldest sister, replied. Mallory is twenty one years old and a senior at Forks University in Washington. Her long, dark brown hair has natural highlights. She has hazel eyes that many people adore. She is somewhat tall at five foot eight and seems to always be tan.
"Mal, she's having a hard time right now. You know it's only been a couple of months since the accident." Mr. and Mrs. Cruise died five months ago in a car accident. Mallory has been taking care of her two younger sisters while attending college. They both live with her and her husband of seven months, Mike Newton.
"We're all having a hard time right now, but we have to get through it together and we can't do that if she's never here. Mom and dad would want us to spend more time together."
"Everybody has their own way of dealing with these kinds of things and if spending time with her friends is what helps her get through, we should just leave her alone."
"Yeah, but that girl better shape up or....." Mallory stopped mid-sentence and grabbed a hold of her stomach. "I think my water just broke!" she exclaimed.
"What?" Nevaeh turned around to face her sister and realized that she was right.
"Oh shit! Shit! What do I do?" She said nearly hyperventilating.
"Well, don't just stand there! Get me the hell out of here!"
Nevaeh ran to her purse to grab her keys. She helped support her older sister as they rushed to the car. Nevaeh was about to put the key into the ignition when she suddenly paused.
"What the hell are you waiting for? Drive!" Mallory shouted at her sister.
"I should call Mike... or Lauren! I can't do this by myself!"
"Screw them! We have to get to the hospital now!"
With that being said, Nevaeh pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, over at the high school, Lauren, the youngest of the three sisters, was dialing Nevaeh's cell number for the fourth time. Once again, nobody answered. She tried Mallory's. She didn't answer either.
"Where could they be?" Lauren asked herself.
"Lauren, how 'bout you ride with me to the party?" one of the cheerleaders suggested.
"Actually guys, I think I'm going to head home." Her friends gave her a confused look knowing that she never missed out on a party. Lauren was the rebel of the Cruise family. With long blonde hair and light skin, she was easily one of the most appealing girls in school. Her flirtatious attitude and alluring blue eyes got her a lot of attention from the boys. "I'm pretty tired from the match anyways." she explained.
"See ya Monday!" she called after her friends as she made her way to her car.
When she got in, she noticed five people walking in a group that were unrecognizable. They were all oddly pale and incredibly gorgeous. While walking gracefully to a silver Volvo, one of them shot her a glare. With his bronze hair and flawless body, he was impossibly stunning, to the point of being almost god-like. His topaz eyes gave her a chilling sensation up and down her spine.
"What an ass…" she grumbled to herself, not knowing that he would soon change her life forever.
At the hospital, Nevaeh and Mallory were just arriving. After helping Mallory out of the car, they sprinted (Mallory waddled) to the entrance of the hospital.
"We need a doctor!" Nevaeh yelled.
The nurses all just stood there, shocked from the disturbance.
"Come on people! The baby's not going to come out on its own! She needs help!"
One red-haired nurse left the room and came back not a minute later with a wheel chair. She then ushered Mallory into it and wheeled her down the hall.
"I'm going to try and get a hold of Mike!" Nevaeh shouted after her. She pulled her cell phone out of her bag and saw that she had four missed calls from Lauren. 'Jeez! I almost forgot about her...' Nevaeh thought. She decided to try calling Mike first. She dialed Mike's cell phone number and hit send. "Hey, you've reached Mike, I'm not here right now, you know what to do. Here comes the beep….Beep! Ha-ha, just kidding…I got you there didn't I? " BEEP!
Nevaeh shook her head, rolling her eyes at her brother-in-law's immaturity. After leaving a very long message explaining the situation, she dialed her younger sister's number.
Lauren arrived at the house fifteen minutes later, noticing that all the lights were still on. She nearly slipped on the icy steps as she made her way to the front door.
"Hello!" she called while opening the door. "Mal, Vaeh? Anyone home?"
Just as she walked into the kitchen, her phone went off.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover.
I'm a child, I'm a mother.
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint.
I do not feel ash…..
Seeing that it was Nevaeh calling, she answered the phone. " Hey Vaeh! Where are you guys? I've been calling you all night…"
"Where am I? I'll tell you where I am. I'm at the freaking hospital because freaking Mallory is freaking having her baby and I have no freaking clue what I'm doing! You have to get down here… I think I'm having a heart attack! Lauren, I'm having a heart attack!" Nevaeh interrupted.
"Nevaeh, just calm down. I'll be there as soon as possible, okay? Have you gotten a hold of Mike?"
"I've been trying to call him, but he's not answering. I think he's on the plane or something because it goes straight to voicemail." Mike, Mallory's husband, was on a business trip in New York. He was supposed to be back in two weeks, thinking that the baby wouldn't come for at least another three weeks.
"Ok, I'll be there soon. Just relax! Bye, love ya!"
"Love you too."
Lauren hung up her phone and dashed back out to her car.
Nevaeh was sprinting down the halls, trying to find the room her sister was in. As she turned the corner, she collided into a man that caused her to fall backwards. Her head hit the ground hard when she fell.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there…." a man said as he reached down to help Nevaeh up. His honey-golden eyes looked down at her with concern. "Are you all right?" he asked as Nevaeh took his ice-cold hand. He gave her a dazzling smile that made her heart skip a beat.
"Ye-yeah, sorry. I-I wasn't watching where I-I was going." she stuttered while standing up.
"Are you sure you're all right? It looked like you hit your head pretty hard."
"Yeah, I'm totally fine. I just have a minor headache.. I really have to go though, my sister's in labor."
He took a card out of his pocket and scribbled something on the back. "Ok, well here's my card just in case that 'minor headache' doesn't go away." he said handing it over to Nevaeh.
He gave her a wink and walked off in the opposite direction. Nevaeh sat there stunned by his beauty. He had blonde hair that was styled directly back, like he was always running his fingers through it and honey-gold eyes that stood out from his pale skin. Nevaeh turned the card over and saw a number scribbled on the back. Still in shock, she scrambled off to go find her sister.
"Push!" the nurse screamed at Mallory.
"She's losing too much blood! Somebody page Dr. Cullen!" the head nurse commanded.
The cry of a baby was heard as Mallory pushed one last time.
"It's a girl!" the first nurse exclaimed, but Mallory barely heard as she drifted out of consciousness.
The door flew open and Dr. Carlisle Cullen walked in.
"Everybody out!" he said.
"But doctor..."
"I said out. I've got it from here. I'll call if I need help."
After the nurses took the baby and left, Carlisle went over to examine Mallory's condition. He saw that there was no way to save her because she already lost too much blood.
Carlisle didn't know what to do. If he changed her, she would have to live this horrible never-ending life just like him. But if he didn't, she would die leaving a baby without a mother. Carlisle didn't have much time to decide. The monitor told him that her heart was failing. She might hate him for it afterwards, but he decided to bite her.
The door flew open once again and a frantic Nevaeh rushed in saying, "Did I miss it? I'm so sorry, I couldn't get a hold of anyone and then...." She stopped abruptly as she realized what was taking place in front of her. Dr. Cullen took her sister's left arm and sank his teeth into her wrist.
