Disclaimer:I do not own the Twilight characters. I own Nanny,Clare,Mary, Anne and Edward's Grandfather

Chapter 1

It was June1st, 1918 the quiet clip-clop of horse's hooves was strangely comforting to someone like me who had always heard it, but to someone else, it was just plain annoying. I would know. I am Edward Anthony Masen, I am 17 years old and I have a knack for knowing what other people think

I was walking home to my father's house. It was as big any other house on the street, meaning that it had 6 rooms, all of normal sizing. On the outside it was a beautifully rich brick house with one large window looking out the front onto the large yard that was in front of it.

We had inherited this house from my wealthy Grandfather when he died 10 years ago.

It was then that I felt a light drizzle coming down and I hurried to get inside. I did not want to get wet just before I was to see Caroline. Caroline was the girl that Mother and Father wanted me to marry. I loved her. Caroline was the prettiest girl in town and she was mine. Every boy in the town would line up for her in a second. (A/N Who does this remind you of?) Though she would never tell just anyone, she was a very ambitious girl with high aspirations and big dreams. Just the kind of girl that was perfect for me. She was also handy around the house and I could tell that she would be a good Mother to our children and I, a good Father.

When I arrived home the housekeeper, Nanny as we called her was there to greet me as always. Next were my little sisters who always came from whatever they were doing to give me a biggest hug they could give. Because I had just come from the store I had stored in my pockets little trinkets for them. Clare a little paper doll and dresses, Mary a new ball for her croquet set (she was just learning and lost one of the balls to our dog) and then of course, Anne, the oldest and by far the prettiest of them all. For her I got a small pot of rouge for she was about to turn 13 years old and needed to look her best on outing with the family.

It was only then did I notice that Mother and Father weren't here. I asked Nanny. A grave look came onto her face and she called be to the other room. She told me that Father had the Spanish Influenza that many of the other people had. She said that the doctors told her that there is little hope for him to survive this and that it has already taken a great toll on his system. That's when I broke down. I don't know how long I was there, normally if any of us cried Nanny was there to hold us and then to make us hush. But she wasn't. I tried to pull myself together when a strange feeling came on. I didn't feel bad but I didn't feel... normal. I walked into the Great Room and asked Nanny for a cup of tea, and then the feeling was gone.

A/N Hey people I hope you like this fan fiction. It's my first and I realy want to do a good job so please review and if you have any ideas please tell me
