This is the sequel to "A Chance Encounter" so if you haven't read that, read it first, otherwise you might be lost with this story! To those of you who have read "A Chance Encounter" and have been waiting for this I am sorry it took me a long time to write it. My family has had two major emergenices come up within the last three months, and then school started, and I didn't have any motivation to play with my imagination. Luckily my stress level has risen to where I need to blow off steam by writing, so I finally found motivation to write this first chapter, but please be warned I am still working on the overall story so it might take a while to update...Anywho, there is also a lot of poetic license as I do not know the full landscape of Washington State or any of the other States that will be included with the story...The characters are owned by Stephenie Meyer, but I am only borrowing them for fun and not profit...So now without further adieu, enjoy "A Changed Existence", p.s. the starting day for the story is a Saturday...

BPOV

I held Green Eye's head on my lap, rocking him back and forth as his body flinched in pain. His eyes were squeezed shut and the rest of his beautiful face was scrunched so tightly that I could barely recognize his features. All I could see of his face was the veins protruding out pumping his blood.

And the smell was unbearable. The bite on his neck was healed, but the blood left stained on his neck and clothing wafted in the air around me. A most pleasurable experience, it was like I was walking on clouds, I wanted to actually taste that scent on my tongue, and I wanted the blood to overflow onto it, not just the scented air. But I knew I couldn't do that to him, my Green Eyes.

I jumped when his legs shot out straight in front of him. They had been crumpled and broken due to James' torture attacks before biting him. But I guess what changed me into a vampire was doing the same to him.

I can't remember much about my changing experience just that I was bitten on the neck and woke up to Victoria and James standing over me. I was worried about Green Eyes; I didn't know if he could hear me, I didn't know if he could feel my icy cold touch on his burning skin, which seems to be getting hotter. The only thing that I knew was I couldn't leave him now; I had to stay in the field with him until it was over.

You can't stay in the field Bella, you have to leave I thought to myself. We couldn't stay here; I didn't know how long Green Eyes' parents would allow him to be gone, especially with the lie of meeting a long lost relative. I know that Charlie would not allow me to be gone for more than two hours past my curfew, so we had to leave as soon as possible before the whole city of Forks descending on the surrounding area.

I gently laid his head back down onto the ground and stood up in one swift motion. I spun around where he laid doing a quick search for James; my vampire eyes showing me every small detail of the field. I could see the tiny particles of grass, pollen, dust, and even feathers from birds floating in the air at the edge of the forest. Mixing with Green Eyes' scent was James' scent of mud and salt; his scent was also all over the field.

Once I felt confident that James was gone I turned my attention to the Volvo. I couldn't leave it here, but I couldn't go driving around with it; the Volvo would soon be a target of interest for the police, it had to be destroyed. I found the battery that James removed and put it back into place. As I was attempting to find the correct battery connections I heard the vibration of Green Eye's cell phone which he left in the car. I opened the driver side door and grabbed the phone – "Carlisle Cell" the flip screen read. I let the phone continue to vibrate in my hand, before I placed it into the cup holder.

I got out of the car and jumped over the top with plenty of room and landed gently next to Green Eyes. I stood over top of him and lifted him up and hurled him over my shoulder. Even though I had the strength of a vampire, the overall height of his body, compared to my 5 foot 4 inch frame, made it difficult for me to maneuver him to the car, especially since he was constantly moving due to the change happening within his body.

I placed him into the passenger seat of the car and jumped over top again to the driver's side. I turned the key to the car and it started and I drove as fast as I could out of the field. I scanned the road ahead for any of Forks' finest, but I thankfully ran across no one. I drove to the cliffs and pulled over. I ran over to Green Eyes and pulled him out of the car again and jumped to place him into the tree above the road.

I jumped back down went to the car and grabbed his cell phone from the cup holder, the flip screen now reading 10 missed calls. Curiously I opened his phone and there were also 10 voice mail messages. I pushed the "call voice mail" button and listened to message after message of Carlisle's frantic calls. "What do you mean you were contacted by a family member? You don't have any blood relatives left Edward. Call me and we can talk about what is going on alright?" "Edward, please call me, Esme and I are worried about you." "Alright young man, this has gone on long enough, we are calling the Seattle Police Department as well as the Forks Police Department and the State Police Department, unless you call me back within the next five minutes." This last threatening message replayed in my head over and over. I clicked to hear the time the message was received and realized that it was now ten minutes after the call.

I put the phone back into the car and pulled out my own phone. I had two missed calls, both from Alice, but I didn't even realize my phone had rung. I opened it and I too had voice mails, so I connected to my voice mail. "Hey Bella, it's Alice Cullen, Edward's sister, and I was wondering if you had heard from him today? Please call me back when you get a chance, thanks!" was the first message, the second was, "Bella, it's Alice again, look I think there is something going on with Edward he hasn't answered any of Carlisle's phone calls, could you give it a try and call him? I know he likes you and would probably answer his phone for you over any of us. Thanks Bella, and please call me as soon as you hear from him!"

I closed my phone and sighed. "I know what is going on with Edward, but I can't tell you Alice, I'm sorry" I said out loud as I put my cell phone next to Green Eyes' phone. I closed the door and began pushing the Volvo toward the cliffs. It wasn't that hard to do, it was like pushing a rolling chair across a hard wood floor. I stood watching the car flip as it plummeted toward the ocean. "Hopefully when – and if – they find the car it will be long enough for them to think our bodies decomposed." I said and I watched the back end sink below the waves.

I turned my attention back to where I put Green Eyes and quickly scanned the area for sounds of any form of search parties. When I heard and saw nothing I jumped back into the tree and pulled him up and over my shoulders. His body was no longer flailing; he was stiff like a board. I took one leap to a tree branch above us and began jumping from limb to limb from tree to tree, trying to get as far away from Forks and Washington that I could.

I needed to stop every few branches to readjust him on my shoulders because his body was refusing to bend into an easy to carry position. But it was also because the closeness of his fresh scent to my nose and mouth was too tempting of an invitation that I needed to regain my control. Eventually when I noticed the light of the forest dimming I knew that I needed to stop, the burning in my throat from carrying his blood soaked shirt so close to me was making my hungry and I couldn't last a night lying next to him without some form of blood within my system.

I began hearing some life of civilization and decided to stop on the outskirts of it so I could keep us hidden, but still find out where we now were. I left Green Eyes in the tree to keep him safe while I hunted and searched for clues to where we were. I silently landed on the forest floor and inhaled; the scent of Mint was very strong on the wind coming from above me, but I found the scent I was looking for the most – the scent of deer. I scanned the darkening forest and with the small amount of light still left for my eyes to use without strain, I saw the buck. I turned on the Animal and prowled moving so quickly yet quietly, the buck didn't flinch until I landed my teeth into his neck. I took a deep pull of its blood and it cooled the burn that had been aching me since the beginning of the day.

With the burn now cooling and a body system happy to be somewhat full I headed toward the noises of children laughing. I stopped at the edge of the forest to a backyard of four children playing flashlight tag. One of the boys close to the field had a fresh scrape on his knee and the Animal took over again. I started inching forward and stepped on a stick on the ground...

I jumped into a tree when the boy shined his light on me. "Whose there?!" he said loudly causing the other children to look at him. "Stop being a Scaredy Cat, William, there's nobody there" said a taller girl who looked to be his sister.

"Yes there is! I saw a very beautiful girl!" he said still pointing his flashlight where I had previously stood.

"Kids come inside now!" said a voice of a man from the house, who I presume must have been the father. All of the kids, except for William, turned at once toward the house.

"William come on, let it go, there was no one there!" said the same girl.

Reluctantly he turned and ran toward the house. I relaxed and realized I had been holding my breath while hiding out in the tree. "Stupid mistake" said the Human to the Animal, "You should have stayed in the trees!" I shook my head causing the Human side to fully take over and to relax the Animal side.

I remained in the tree, but turned away from the house to sniff the air, the scent of Mint hung in the air. I squinted my eyes in order to scan the tree tops and saw him still crumpled in the position I left him in. "You'll be okay for a few more minutes Green Eyes" I whispered in his direction.

I turned my attention back to the house and I could hear the muffled sound of the children talking. "She wasn't very tall, shorter than mommy, and her hair was full of leaves and twigs" said William, "and her skin reflected the light from my flashlight!"

"Yeah right William! You're not good at telling ghost stories!" said the other boys' voice.

"She isn't a ghost she is solid, ghosts are see through!" said William

"You've seen a ghost?!" this voice I recognized as the girl from earlier, "Gees-o-Pete! You believe everything we tell you don't you?!"

"Alright that's enough! To bed all of you!" said the father again.

I held in a chuckle listening to the children debating whether I was a ghost or not after the father had left the room. But then I focused my attention on the father. I could hear him walking down the steps. He took a heavy sigh as he turned on the television.

"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and thank you for joining us for the 11pm news out of Spokane, Washington. We have an Amber Alert on two missing teenagers from the city of Forks. Edward Anthony Masen-Cullen, 17, and Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, also 17, were last seen by their family members on Friday evening and have had no contact with either of them today. It is believed they are traveling together in a 2001 Silver Volvo with the license plates '780 UAL'. Edward is 6'2" with bronze hair and green eyes. Isabella is 5'4" with brown hair and light brown eyes. If you have seen them you are asked to call the Forks Police Department at 555-091-3987 or your local department."

I tuned out of the rest of the news broadcast; I got all the information I needed. Obviously Charlie didn't by my going to Seattle and I already knew Green Eyes' family didn't buy it either. But now I knew we had to get as far away as possible. I started jumping back through the trees to Green Eyes. I placed my hand on the top of his forehead and the burning of his skin sent a shockwave down my body. I curled up next to him and closed my eyes. Although I didn't need to sleep, I needed to settle my mind and come up with a better plan of action to get out of the Washington area.

From the time you were bitten to the time you woke up it took three days, it will probably be the same for him, I thought rubbing my temples. It has only been several hours since; you can't stay in the treetops especially this close to a family for that long! I tried to picture a map of Washington to determine where Spokane is, but I realized I never studied a Washington map. "We'll have to wait for the sun rise, then I will know which way is East," I whispered to Green Eyes giving him a small kiss on his cheek, I closed my eyes and waited for the sun.

So I know this is long especially for a first chapter, but what did you think? Yes? No? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Let me know in a review what you think...Also for those of you readers who do not know an "Amber Alert" is "America's Missing:Broadcast Emergency Response" system, named after a 9 year old girl named Amber who was kidnapped and murdered in 1996...I do know other Countries have started programs similar, but I don't want those who don't know to be confused...Also the license plate was completely made up, so if it is someone's it was not intended! And look at the phone number to the Fork's Police Department if you can figure it out and tell me, you'll get major props!
