Chapter 1

Ashley POV

This nomad stuff is getting annoying. Why can't I find one vampire that is like me? I don't like being alone. All I have is my dog, Sasha, with me. I love her so much. I would never dream of hurting her. She is my life and I would die for her. I would kill anyone who dared hurt her. She is all I have left from my human life.

Oh I'm Ashley by the way. Ashley Marie Heart. I have medium layered golden blonde hair, almond shaped green eyes, they are sometimes blue, and about 5'3- 5'4. I'm a vampire obviously cause I just ranted about there not being any other vampires like me haha. I do not drink human blood though. I would never be able to kill a human even if I was desperately thirsty. Which means I drink animal blood. But never domesticated animals like Sasha. Only the animals like bears, deer and mountain lions. My favorite are bears. I like to mess with them haha. The irritated ones that put up a fight are the best. I know you're not supposed to play with your food but I can help it.

Sasha ,my dog, is a five year old German Shepard 's gorgeous. (Pic of her on my profile. This is my real dog) I got her when I was still human and she was just a puppy. I got her from an animal shelter in Las Vegas. That's where I'm from originally, well four and a half years ago.

I got changed after my eighteenth birthday. I was in a car accident, well my dad was. M y dad was driving, my mom was in the passenger seat and my fifteen year old sister and ten year old brother were in the back seat with me. The drunk driver hit us on the passenger side. My mom wasn't wearing a seat belt and neither was my brother and they died on impact. My sister died because the guys truck hit her the hardest and she also died on impact. My dad died by a pole from the guy's roof that slide off because of the sudden stop.

I miss them so much and would give anything to have them back here with me. Living for eternity isn't as great when you are all alone. It gets lonely and depressing. I thank god everyday that I still have Sasha with me. I know I would never be able to stay with any of my aunts or uncles. I don't think I would be able to handle watching them grow old and die around me while I just sit here never aging and never changing for all eternity and end up for worse than I am.

Sasha has been my rock. I would not be the vampire I am today. I live life with what I have. I make everyday an adventure and live to make Sasha the happiest dog she can be. I know she will be gone one day. If I'm lucky I will have at least ten more years with her. I never take her for grated and make sure she lives a good and happy life while she still can.

I do wonder sometimes about animals becoming vampires. I wonder if it is even possible. Then logic takes over and I start to think if Sasha does become a vampire, do I really want a blood-thirsty dog running around killing innocent people. Unless I could possibly teach her to be a good vampire dog. I would have to ask someone about this one day. I know it will have to be someone that I can trust and will tell me the truth on if it is possible. I don't want to end Sasha's life sooner than it has to be.

I was the only one in my family to survive that car accident four and half years ago and it was only because a vampire saved me. I was pulled out of the car by two hard, cold arms and I felt the wind going through my hair and making the blood on my face cold. As he ran I looked back at the horrible car accident that I was being taken away from, from my family. I said goodbye to them.

I fell unconscious and when I awoke I felt searing pain throughout my entire body. It felt like I was on fire. A fire I couldn't put out because it was inside my body. I screamed in pain for what felt like weeks. After those weeks of agonizing pain it started to fade away. Once it was completely gone I slowly opened my eyes. I found two blood red eyes staring down at me.

Begin Flashback

The pain was unbelievable but it was dieing down. I started to open my eyes and was met by two blood red eyes looking down on me. They looked at me with concern. I jumped up and looked at the person who was staring at me. He was pale and seemed to be about 5'8. He was built quite well but not too much. He had short blonde hair and looked to be about 35.

"Hi...uh...my name is Josh. Um...how are you?" Josh stuttered.

"Good I guess. I mean it felt like my insides were on fire for what felt like weeks but good. Thanks. Um I'm Ashley." I replied kind of annoyed.

He stood there and stared at me for what seemed like hours but was actually only seconds before I had to know what was up.

"So, are you going to tell me what I'm doing here?" I asked.

I looked around and noticed I was in a dusty wooden room that looked like it hadn't been used in months. There was a full sized bed with thin cotton sheets on it that had rips through it. There was also random stuff scattered all over the floor. I would have to say this house needed a good cleaning and a woman's touch.

" Oh yeah, um...well you see um.. I'm a vampire and well I saw you bleeding and um almost dieing after you and your family got into a car accident. You well um..were the only one who was still half alive when I showed up." He rambled though stuttering quite a few times and you could tell he was nervous. "So um.. the only way to save you was to um... well change you. You know well a um.. vampire like me."

"So let me get this straight you saved me from a horrible car accident and changed me into a vampire?" I clarified.

"Yeah well um... it was the only way to save you and um.... I couldn't let you die." He said while looking at the ground.

"Well thank you, but I have a question for you." I said. I needed to know why he was so nervous and I thought maybe if I knew why he couldn't let me die I may find out why he was nervous.

"Yeah um.... what do you want to know?" Josh asked with hope in his eyes and a smile spreading across is face.

"Why did you save me? Why couldn't you let me die?" I asked curiously.

Josh looked down at his feet. He looked like he was debating on if he should tell me the truth or not. After a few long minutes he looked up at me and finally answered and I knew by the look in his eyes that he decided he was going to tell me the truth.

"I well um... think you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire existence. I feel a pull to you. I think that I love you and I was hoping that you would feel the same for me. I hoped," He paused and took a deep breath. "I hoped maybe you would be my mate and live with me for the rest of our existence." He was looking at me with hope, love and lust in his eyes but gave a shy smile.

I was a little weirded out because I didn't even know this man and he was confessing his love for me. I knew at that moment that I needed to learn the way of the vampire then get out of here and find out what happened to Sasha since everyone in my family had died.

"Wow. Well um....I will have to get to know you before I make any plans. If that would be alright. I would also like to start to learn the way of vampire life since it is my life now." I asked him nervously and unsure of what is reaction would be.

"Oh of course, of course. What would you like to know?"He asked slightly relieved I didn't totally turn him down but you could see the sadness in his eyes at the same time because I didn't confess my love for him.

Josh told me everything about vampires. He told me that we sparkle in the sunlight, we never sleep, we have super strength, advanced hearing and seeing, and we can run at unbelievable speeds. He also told me that we are the most gorgeous creatures on earth, at this he looked me up and down with lust. He told me we are graceful and attract out prey, being humans, easily. He went on about finding our soul mates and being with them for all eternity.

He also brought up a conversation about the Volturi. The Volturi are a group of powerful vampires. He said they are the royals of the vampire world and make sure that humans do not find out about our kind. He talked for hours about the Volturi.

Then I felt my throat was dry and scratchy and Josh said it was because I was thirsty. So he took me hunting. I watched him suck the blood out of a man that looked to be in his late 30's, early 40's. After witnessing the monstrosity I ran into the forest and smelled a herd of deer. I ran towards it and let my instincts take over and pounced on a large buck and sucked it's blood clean from his body. It tasted so good and warm sliding down my throat. I pounced on another one and got my fill.

I looked around looking for Josh and noticed he wasn't anywhere near me. I couldn't hear or smell him. So decided now was a good time as any to leave I heard all the stories and I knew what I could and couldn't do.

So I left Josh, mainly because he freaked me out and I didn't feel comfortable being around him. I ran and never turned back. I hid beneath the tree cover so that my skin didn't sparkle in the sunlight, so people wouldn't discover what I was and think I was some kind of freak, and waited there there until it was dark.

I ran to my home and discovered Sasha was still there, waiting for me inside the house to my relief. This made things a lot easier. I went inside my old house and it seemed to be untouched since we left to dinner that night four days ago. I ran to my room, with Sasha on my heels, and grabbed her pink leash. I also grabbed any money I could find, the dog food, a bowl for water, photographs of friends and family, my shampoo and condition, my make up, as many clothes as my suitcase would carry and anything else I would need or want.

I gave Sasha some food and water because her bowls were bone dry and was probably starving. After she gobbled up all the food and drank the water until there was none left she followed me to the computer and I went on craigslist and looked for a cheap car.

After some looking I found the perfect car that would be good for now and hopefully would be good on gas. It was a 1985 Firebird 300 V-8 automatic and it was gray. It was tinted enough so I could drive around in it during the day. It was only $700 and right in my price range.(Pic on my profile. I actually found this car on craigslist for that price. haha) I wrote down the number and waited until about 8am to call for it.

They lady said she still had it and I told her I would love to come and pick it up around 4. That way the sun would be behind the mountains. I also told her I would be paying for it in cash. She said it was find and I waited until it was dark enough outside and headed over to the lady's house using the directions she gave me. I left Sasha at home and ran in the shadows to get to her house as quickly as possible.

I got to the lady's house, paid for the car and drove it back to my house. When I got home I loaded up my suitcases and dog food in the car. I looked over the house making sure I had anything I would need. Once I did I said goodbye to my home and put Sasha in the front passenger seat. I climbed into the driver's side and started the car. I drove off and took one last glance through the rear view mirror and if I could cry I would have tears running down my face.

End Flashback

Sasha and I traveled the world together for four and a half years. I stayed the same and Sasha grew to become a large dog. She still acts like the puppy she used to be and keeps me happy when I would be sad and depressed if I was on my own. Being around me since she was a puppy, meeting other vampires didn't bother her like other animals seemed to act around me and other vampires that were nearby.

We met a lot of vampires but they all drank the blood of humans and I would not be able to stay with anyone like that so we would always move on and look for more vampires.

I drove into a small town. The sign on the way in said this small, quiet town was Forks, Washington. So I was in the U.S. again. The last time I checked I was in Canada. I pulled into a hotel so that Sasha could get her nights rest on a comfortable bed instead of in the car. I walked straight into the office and asked for a single room with one full size bed. When I paid for the room Sasha and I made our way to the room.

I let Sasha into the room then headed back to the car to get my suitcases out. I gracefully walked into the room and started to unload the suitcases searching for my books. I finally found the book I was looking for and lied down on the bed. I got myself comfortable with Sasha laying comfortably at my side already snoring.

I laughed and started reading Wuthering Heights. My mom had tried to get me to read this book when she was still alive and I always had the excuse of already reading something else at the time. When she was gone I found it in her room and took it with me knowing it was her favorite book.

The first time I read it I wanted to read it over and over again. I have read at least 50 times and it gets better after reading it each time. After reading for hours I looked out the window and noticed it was just after dawn. The sun wasn't out which meant I would be able to walk around outside during the daylight hours.

I carefully got up from the bed, making sure I didn't wake Sasha, and went to the bathroom. I took a long comforting shower. I rubbed my scalp with my vanilla shampoo and conditioner and washed my body with my vanilla body wash. When I finally got out I wrapped a towel around me and brushed my hair and teeth. I blow dried my hair and it ended up looking poofy and wild looked. So I combed through it and straighted it. It fell almost mid back. I combed my bangs to one side and put a booby pin to old my bangs out of my eyes. (A pic of similar hairstyle on profile)

I went to my suitcase and took out my purple and white guitar t-shirt, white skinny jeans, purple, white and gray fox hat and purple flats. (pics of all items except the pants on profile) I also took out a white thong and bra set. After putting on my clothes I walked over to the mirror and situated my hat on my head. I looked at myself in the mirror and was satisfied.

I looked over at Sasha to see she was awake and waiting for me to take her outside. I grabbed her leash and she excitedly ran to the door. I threw on my gray Blondie zip-up hoodie. Then I clipped on Sasha's leash and walked out the door putting my room key, wallet and phone in my pocket. We walked to the grassy area so Sasha could do her business and I started top think maybe there weren't any vampires like me.

I was losing hope and I figured I would never find vampires that drank animal blood like me. Then I smelled it. Vampires. More than two like I was used to. It smelled like 7 maybe 8. How could 8 vampires live together in one place without problems? I thought. Their scent covered almost every inch of this small town.

I followed the scent of a vampire and came to a white mansion surrounded by trees. I saw figures pacing around inside the house with confused looks on their faces. I walked up to the door with Sasha close to my leg. I wasn't sure what they would think of Sasha and didn't want to cause to many problems.

I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. The door swung open and there stood a small pixie like female vampire with black hair spiked in every direction. She had gold colored eyes like mine not like the red eyes I was used to. She was wearing a red tank top that looped around her neck. It rounded down the front of her chest and showed a little cleavage. It hugged her small body and showed her curves. She had on tight low rise blue jeans that slightly flared at the bottom. She wore red, two and half inch heels to pull the look together.(Pic on my profile)

"Hi I'm Alice! What's your name?" Alice exclaimed excitedly with a smile on her face and knowing and wonder in her eyes.

Just to let you know I wasn't trying to make any kind of cliffy. It seemed like a really good place to stop chapter 1.

Kay well theres chapter one I hope you like it. I'm looking for constructive criticism cause this my first fanfic. Well actually I've never even written a story before. Let me know what you think REVIEW!! And I'll try to get chapter 2 out soon. That is if you like it and want me to continue.

Oh and to let you know next chapter is in Edward POV. Letting you know ahead of time so you don't get mad at me cause it doesn't continue on with Ashley's POV. I hate FanFics that do that but I thought it would be fun to see why they were pacing and what they thought about with Ashley and Sasha coming into town.
