Plot: Something tragic happens that shakes the Cullen Household. Nothing is certain anymore, not even what once was the strongest of loves.
Inspired by "Changes" A twilight story on this site by Jeanita. Very loosely inspired and hardly based on it, the idea for this story just popped in my mind when reading her story. But w/o her story, this would never see the light of day most likely.
Setting: Bella is a newborn vampire already. Charlie is gone, died from heart attack. First chapter is kind of fast paced, slows down after though.
Love, Save the Empty
I had started this wonderful new life as a vampire just under a month ago. I couldn't ask for anything else. If it was even possible, Edward and I have gotten closer. For the first time, we had the house to ourselves. Sitting back, we were watching some ridiculous movie.
"You know, I was thinking love, we should take a vacation. Just you and me. We haven't had any real quality time since your transformation."
"What a wonderful idea." I turned in his arms and kissed him. "I'm sorry I've been such a pain about doing anything. It's just, I know Emmett would blow it out of proportion."
"Oh, but don't you know that I could blow you out of proportion and I'm quite positive you won't mind." Edward laughed and the proceeded to pushing me back so he was on top of me. Not waiting for a response, he passionately attacks me with his mouth. With one hand, he pins my arms over my head and while he is still exploring my mouth, his free hand finds its way to my breasts.
My back arches as he squeezes my breast relentlessly. Breaking from the kiss, Edward stares into my eye lovingly. His hand takes a leave of absence and travels south. He pops open my buckle and without further warning I can feel his hand hitting my core.
Before I'm completely lost in the moment, I realize that anyone could walk in at any moment. And the living room isn't the best place for this.
"Ed- Edward. We can't do this here. As much as I'd really like to finish, someone could walk in at any moment." I say with little conviction in my voice. But rolling gravel down the driveway gives me motivation to stop. Regretfully pulling away, I straighten out my clothes and hair.
"We're going on that vacation Bella. Tomorrow!" Edward said frustrated.
"Tomorrow." I offer a chaste kiss as a kind of promise. As we settle back in our respective places, what happens next is pure chaos.
The front and back porch door violently open and everyone pours back in. Esme, who went hunting with Carlisle earlier, was nowhere to be found. Carlisle looked visibly shaken, Jasper was consoling Alice who was in hysterics and Emmett and Rosalie were dumbfounded. Turning to Edward, he was now in some kind of semi catatonic state as well. I'm guessing he read everyone's mind.
"Well damn, who died?" I joked trying to lighten the tension in the room. Barely audible to even vampire ears, Carlisle answered in the most pathetically heartbroken manner.
"Esme."
