Notes: This story is what it might have been like had Edward been the human and Bella the vampire. I know this has probably been done to death but hopefully mine is different. We'll see some old friends and bring some that were in the shadows into the light. Some main characters may fade to honorable mentions. This is not Twilight with Edward and Bella flipping roles with seamless perfection. This is raw and new. If you don't think that you can deal with that, please stop reading here.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight characters. They belong to Stephenie Meyer. I use them for fun. No infringement is meant.
Summery: Seventeen-year-old Edward Masen's life is flipped upside down when his father dies of cancer. Now, he is forced to move from his Arizona home to the rainy little town of Forks, Washington where his estranged, unconventional mother resides. He was prepared for a boring, miserable existence in the small town but that all changes when he meets Isabella Cullen, his unnaturally beautiful lab partner and her strange family. Curiosity gives way to overwhelming attraction. Attraction turns to a strong, supernatural love that drags Edward into a dangerous and potentially deadly world where myths and legends are all too real.
Preface:
I'd never really given much thought into how I would die, though I'd had reason enough these past months. Even if I had, it definitely would not be like this. Though, I suppose I had a little more warning than most people got. I had been flirting with death for the past three months, after all. And I mean that quite literally.
Don't get me wrong, I could never regret any of the time that I had spent with her. She was the reason that I existed and it was in her stead that I stood here now. I would forfeit my life to see her and her family safe.
Across from me, the huntress growls, lowering herself into a predatory crouch. Her black eyes blaze with the power of her thirst. Her lithe muscles bunch, gathering for the spring.
