Chapter one: Creatures in the night
My name is Lucifer (Also known as Luci) Cullen. Yes, those Cullens. I am Dr. Cullen's biological daughter. When I was sixteen I came to my father and asked to be turned. My father refused. He said that turning me would be more painful to him than watching me die of old age. My mother was more understanding. I pleaded to her and in the end she was the one to grant my wish. My father was horrified, and my parents argued for years and I feared they would separate. Finally my father forgave my mother and I.
Now I live in Forks, Washington with them and my foster siblings. Jasper and I are as close as siblings can get. Although my relationship with my brother Edward is strained, my relationship with Rosalie is the most distant.
When Edward told me of Bella, I told him I didn't approve. I was scared. Now here I sit, next to the man of my dreams, and I see why Edward risks his life to be with her. Even then, though, he wasn't risking near as much as I was. I was betraying my family, but I couldn't stay away. I love him.
"Are you okay?" He asked, his arm over my shoulder and his black eyes deep with concern. I smiled as well as I could, fear still rotting at my stomach.
"Yeah." I said, leaning against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. I felt safe in his embrace, despite the temptation ebbing at the back of my throat. I fought off the thirst as I nuzzled against his neck, well aware of the deep throbbing of his jugular vein under my cheek. "Why do you trust me so much?" I asked, opening my deep honey eyes and staring at his neck, smelling his sweet smell.
"I don't know. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it." He said, kissing my forehead. The moon shined down upon us sitting deep in the forest opening.
We were waiting for the inevitable. I could smell them coming. Them from the north, and them from the west. The final showdown. It was here that we would face either our end, or our beginning. It was up to us to stop this foolishness, and hopefully come up with a way for them to see our love, and let us be.
"Luci." I heard him before he was in sight. His voice was a whisper. My father stepped out into the light of the moon, followed by my mother, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmet, and finally Bella. Everyone's eyes fell upon me and the man at my side, who grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Bella stepped forward, the first to move, and her eyes widened as she gazed upon my love and her voice came out, almost inaudible.
"Jacob…"
