Allan and I had decided to move once again. Well technically it was Allan who decide and I was just tagging along. We had been together for what seemed like an eternity. I had lost my parents when I was only 7. It wasn't until after they were gone that I realized how much I really loved and missed Charlie and Renee.

I was destined for the orphanage. Something that I had heard my fair share of horror stories about. So when I found out that my parents were killed in a brutal animal attack and had no next of kin whatsoever, I ran until I was sure freedom was mine.

I found this cottage in the middle of the woods. I thought it was abandoned so I readily entered it. That's when I found Allan Broderick. He wasn't looking to hide himself and what I saw frightened me at first. I remember his eyes were a brilliant red, like a solar flare. Cocking his head he beckoned me forward. While he undoubtedly frightened me, there was some unknown allure to it.

When he told me he was a vampire, I was sure he was off his rocker. He showed me proof by bringing my hand to where his heart should have been. Not only was it void of any beating, his hands were frozen. He asked about where I came from, and I told him what had happened and how I couldn't go back. Allan promised he would help me and so he did.

Allan Broderick and I weren't involved until I was 15. He had the appearance of an 18 year old but was alive for over 100 years. When I questioned his past further, he always said that it was none of my concern.

"Isabella, are you even paying attention to what I said so far?" Allan asked impatiently, breaking me out of my nostalgia. I hated when he called me by my whole name. He refused to call me Bella, claiming it didn't suit me.

"Sorry Allan, I guess my mind just took off on its own." I smiled at him. We had stopped so that Allan could hunt. I wasn't too sure where we were, all I knew was it was some big city on the western coast.

"Well pay attention next time. I'm gonna go into this club for a snack. Take this and go get yourself something at this restaurant. Just wait there until I come back for you." Allan ordered. He handed me some money and was about to leave.

"Alright, but Allan, aren't you worried about exposure?" I asked. Allan wasn't too big on the whole vampire secrecy rule. His mind control power made him cocky and he said that it livened things up.

"Ah hell Isabella! There you go again putting a damper on things. Now remember love, it's either them or you. And I'm sure you'd fancy them much better, as would I. I still want you around for the time being darling." He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. His teeth grazed my bottom lip just as he pulled back and he flickered his tongue across it. I had learned to perfect my reactions and not to shiver at times like this when I really wanted to.

It was pathetic really, Allan didn't even have to use his ability on me to keep me in line or where he wanted to. He never bit me or dranked from me, but just knowing that he could kill me was enough to keep me in my place so to speak. I loved him, he was all I had ever known really. Allan had taken me in when I had no one else. So in that respect, I did feel like I owed him some form of allegiance. I thought that Allan loved me as well on some level, but for all I know, everyone loves the same way.

Stepping into the Subway, I order quickly. The cashier seems friendly enough, so as I pay I decide to find out more about where I was.

"Excuse me, but me and my boyfriend are passing through and I just woke up when we got here. Could you tell me what see we're in?" I was thoroughly embarrassed about having to ask.

"Seattle. So are you here to stay?"

"Maybe for a few weeks or so. My boyfriend is kind of flighty." I answer. I should know more about where my life is headed than I do, but Allan never thought it mattered as long as we were together. Taking my sandwhich tray, I sit in the far corner looking at the passing pedestrians.

I can't help but wonder what life would be like if I did go to an orphanage. I probably would have been adopted eventually and grown up oblivious to this world. Perhaps I would have even gotten married, had kids as well. Picking at the lettuce on my plate, I find my appetite has vanished. A chilling hand is placed on my shoulder.

"Ready to go? I've found the perfect place to settle down in Forks. It's only a few miles east of here. You can play house even! Come on now lover, let's go." Allan grabbed my shoulder and roughly pulled me out of my seat. Allan was excited, but I couldn't bring myself to feel likewise. In all honesty, I was tiring of this endless cycle. Tomorrow would be a better day, it would be easier. It had to be.
