BPOV

The announcer over the intercom came on and told us our plane would be landing soon in Seattle. It hadn't exactly been my choice to come here, but, since Charlie was the only other family I had, I had no other choice than to go live with him since I was still only seventeen. I chuckled. If they only knew how much I could take care of myself. My mother Renee…Oh god, Renee…had died last month along with my step father Phil in a plane crash coming back home to Phoenix…shortly after the funeral, the law had contacted me saying that my father wanted to take me in, and that I dint have a choice since I was under aged and my mother had selected him like my guardian if she ever died before I became an adult…but, the thing is, she only wrote that because she dint know the real truth about Charlie…He was abusive, and in more than one way.

He had physically and verbally abused me during my last visit, which was 2 months ago.

That was also the day my life changed.

No one knew what I had become…well, just one. Alice. Alice Cullen. The day before I was going to head back to Phoenix, Charlie had came in my room and was about to rape me, but because I had been wide awake from my nightmare, I had been able to escape him and the house with my suitcase just in time. I had hit him squarely in the jaw and kicked him in the stomach giving me time to grab my luggage and run out of the house, and into the raining night.

Flashback

I had escaped by going threw the woods. I got lost, but something had guided me out of there…and next thing I knew, I was in the middle of a street about to get hit by a car, but it stopped just in time. The driver quickly got out and rushed over to where I was standing, traumatized. She was ridiculously pale, she had…black eyes? And short spiked black hair with pixie features…overall, she was the closest thing to perfection. She had a panicked expression on her face and was inspecting me…but, at the same time, she seemed to be restraining herself, because her jaw was locked and she seemed as rigid as a rock. Also, I had noticed that she…wasn't breathing?

"Oh my god! I'm so, so sorry! Are you allwright?!" She asked me franticly.

"Ya. Don't worry, I'm fine…" I reassured her. She seemed to clam down a bit. She carefully studied me with her black eyes for a moment before her gaze met my eyes.

"What's the matter? I saw you running out of the forest like you were scared of something?" She asked me, concern lacing her tone. I couldn't tell her. I didn't even know her…and I felt like I was in danger standing so close to her.

"I was…heading for the police station to get a ride to the airport but then I took a shortcut through the woods and got lost. I guess I went deep, because I saw a bear and ran the opposite direction, ending up here." I lied. I've never had been a good liar. She held my gaze and I could tell she wasn't convinced. She taught for moment, and then surprised me.

"Do you need a ride? I could take you to the airport if you'd like…?" She asked me politely, but she seemed unsure at the same time.

I could use a ride. I dint exactly feel like walking 40 miles. I nodded my head and she smiled and signaled me to get in the car. I walked over to the passenger side of the car and got in. I closed my door and put on my seatbelt. From the corner of my eye, I could see her gripping the steering wheel with a bit too much force. For a moment, I taught it would break. She started to drive south towards Seattle with unbelievable speed. I dint noticed I was holding my seat with dear life until she laughed and looked where my hands were.

"I'm Alice by the way. Alice Cullen." She said looking straight at the road. She sounded like she was distracting herself.

"I'm Bella. Bella Sawn." I replied and smiled at her. She smiled sideways at me than restarted concentrating on the road.

"Look, I know it's not any of my business, but what's the real reason you were running?" She asked me. I sighed. I guess it didn't matter who knew, since I was never coming back.

"I was running from my father. He's the chief of police of Forks." I said glancing sideways at her only to see her looking at me with a confused expression. I sighed again and went on.

"He's…abusive. In more than one way. He's been abusing me since I arrived here." I said in a sad and defeated tone. I let my head drop and eyes close waiting for her reply. She was quiet for a minute.

"How could someone do that to there daughter?!" She said obviously angry. Although she seemed sweet and bubbly, she could definitely be a scary little pixie. "God, if I ever get my hands on that cocksucker ill…" then she suddenly stopped and her face went blank.

Her eyes glassed over and her face was emotionless. I figured she was thinking of something so I looked back out my window. I saw lights coming ahead towards us, but Alice didn't change lanes…what was she doing? I looked back at her, and she still had that same blank expression. I was getting scared. The car was only seconds of colliding with us. I started to panic, so I grabbed the wheel and turned it to the max. The car deviated off the road and into the forest. The car was wobbling, and next thing I knew, we rammed into a tree. Everything went dark.

I woke up several minutes later and felt excruciating pain throughout my body.

And a deep gash was running down my forehead. I instinctively reached for my forehead and felt something hard and sharp…a piece of glass. I felt the tears coming down my cheeks from the pain. I looked down and I saw a giant metal piece was puncturing my rib cage and blood was pouring out. I knew I dint have much time left before the darkness would envelope me permanently. I turned my head slightly to check on Alice, but she wasn't there. Confused, I looked around and found nothing. Where was she? What had happened to her? I could feel my blood draining quickly. I knew I had only a couple more minutes to live…

I closed my eyes, waiting for death. Suddenly, I heard some metal being ripped apart, and felt myself pulled out of the car. I groggily opened my eyes to see what was happening. Alice was above me and was laying me down on some soft and wet grass. She was perfectly fine…which was weird since the driver's side of the car had received the most damage. I didn't have time to think about it, because Alice was leaning over my neck and her mouth was pressed against my neck…what the hell was she doing?

"I'm sorry…please forgive me." She whispered against my neck. I didn't have time to figure her words when all of a sudden; I felt something sharp cut through my neck.

I was relieved until I felt excruciating spreading from where I had been cut. It felt like I was being charred alive…I barely heard Alice sobbing beside me and apologizing. The fire kept raging inside me to the point where my entire body was being burned. Suddenly, I couldn't hear Alice anymore. She had left me…

I had woken up 3 days later, with an uncontrollable burn in my throat. An innocent doe was walking by me, and she smelled quite good, and promised to quench the burn in my throat. Next thing I knew I had launched myself at it and my teeth were slicing through her neck.

Her blood had only quenched the burn slightly, but I was too shocked by what I had just done. And in that instant, I understood what I had become…

End of Flashback

Since that day, I had learned to control my thirst for blood by hunting animals once very week. Human blood definitely seemed more potent, by I didn't want to be a monster and kill innocent humans. I wanted to be better than that…

I wanted and will be better than I was.

Since I was a vampire.
