I ask one thing of you. That you review. Haha. Catchy little rhyme eh?
It had been a week since Edward left. I couldn't function at all. I couldn't eat, drink, or sleep peacefully at all. I was sitting Indian-style in the middle of my room on the floor, staring off into space. I felt so numb and empty. My heart was gone, I knew that for sure. I couldn't feel it in my chest anymore, I couldn't hear it beating anymore. This was how my week was spent, sitting in the middle of my room. I began to think of Edward, I could see him so clearly in my mind. That favorite crooked smile of mine playing on his lips as his topaz eyes burned so deeply into mine. He was dazzling me even when he wasn't here. I pushed that thought out of my mind as soon as I realized it was there. I got up abruptly tears stinging my eyes as I ran out the door. I got in my truck and began driving, I didn't know where I was going but that didn't matter. My subconscious was taking me to a place that I tried to stay away from at all costs. I parked my truck on the side of the road and began walking into the woods, ignoring the path that lay to the right of me. I didn't even realize where I was going. Some part of my mind pushed me towards the direction of the place that I didn't even know I could find. I didn't know how long I walked but all of a sudden it was there, and it surprised me. It was the meadow. It was our meadow. I sank to my knees and began to sob violently. I had not allowed myself to all week. Maybe it was because I didn't grasp it all, it didn't actually sink in until now. And now that it did, the crippling blow of the whole thing shattered my chest. I couldn't breathe right. Then I began screaming at the empty woods around me.
"You promised me Edward Cullen! You promised me that you would never leave me! What am I supposed to do now? Huh! Did you ever think what would happen to me after you left? Or were you just thinking of yourself you selfish son of a...! God! Why can't I say it? Why can't I hate you? I want to hate you! So why can't I?" My voice grew hoarse and my throat started to burn. "Because I still love you more than life itself." I whispered as new tears began to fall. So I sat there. Crippled and heart broken. I didn't even notice the sun beginning to fall. The next thing that I noticed brought me back to the present. Snap. I heard it again. Snap. The funny thing about it was I knew I was going to die and I wasn't scared at all. I welcomed it with open arms. "Please hurry up and kill me, I don't have all day." I said into the woods. I felt and overwhelming sense of calmness. Then I didn't hear the noise anymore. "What? Are you waiting for me to run away? Good luck with that. As soon as I get up I'm just going to fall back down. I won't get two feet without tripping over something so I might as well just sit here and wait for you to kill me." I waited but I still didn't hear the noise. "You better still be out there. I'm not waiting for death that's just going to run away scared." I heard a low growl and I smiled. Then I saw a dark blur coming straight towards me. I blacked out.

I awoke on a bed, disoriented and a little frightened. Where am I? How did I get here? I didn't even remember who I was. I heard a light knock on the door. "Yes?" I answered. I noticed that my voice was very fluid and melodic, almost like I was signing.
An average sized teenager walked through my door. She was gorgeous. She had black hair that flowed down her back and she moved gracefully to my side. She had the most beautiful honey eyes and long eye lashes. She had very pale skin and a small, yet curvy figure. "I'm Elizabeth. How are you feeling?" She said with a concerned look in her eyes.
"Uh..I'm fine I think. Where am I?" I asked still disoriented.
"You are in Washington. Do you know what your name is?" She asked me still concerned.
"Umm...no, I don't." I fumbled sheepishly.
"That's alright. We'll find out." She soothed. "But I do have to tell you something." She said hesitantly. "You were attacked in the woods by a vampire and now you have become one." She cringed waiting for me to scream or freak-out.
All I could do was smile like a maniac. "Really?" I asked her still beaming. Why was I acting like this? I'm a monster! A vampire! But all I feel is a sense of relief and happiness.
"Yes." She said just as befuddled as I was. "Well your taking this much better than I expected. May I ask why?"
"I don't know." I explained still beaming. "I just feel really happy right now."
"Hmm." She said. "Well come on. You can meet the rest of my family." She said holding out her hand. I took it and she led me down stairs. We walked into the living room and I saw three teenage boys and one girl. "This is Marie, Daniel, Jack and Alex." Marie smiled tentatively at me. She had beautiful dirty blonde hair that stopped in the middle of her back. She was slightly taller than Elizabeth. Daniel wore a huge smile on his face. He had brown shaggy hair and he was slightly muscular. Alex was the tallest. He had black hair that was gelled and he smiled politely at me. Jack was the most muscular and he looked the oldest. He had dirty blonde hair as well as Marie. "Danny, did you find out anything?"
"Yes," he said looking at her then he looked at me. "Your name is Isabella Swan. You live in Forks, Washington with your dad, Charlie. You're mother is married to a baseball player named Phil and she lives in Arizona. Does any of this sound familiar to you?" I shook my head with a grimace on my face. "That's all right." He comforted. "It'll come back to you, Isabella." He gave me a wistful smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Please call me Bella."

"Bella! School!" Marie called. It had been 11 years since I was transformed. Despite being a vampire, I was very much like a human. I still cried, blushed, and tripped.
"Coming!" I yelled back racing down the stairs. Then I hit something hard.
"Where do you think your going?" A seductive voice asked me.
"Danny." I growled in warning. He growled back playfully, then he pushed me against the wall with both hands on the wall by my head. His face was inches from mine and his eyes burned with a passion. Not again! I groaned inwardly. You've got to be kidding me. He began leaning in towards me and I turned away. "Danny." I whispered pained. "I can't." I turned back to his face and my eyes bore into his.
"Ughh!" He groaned, backing away. "Bella, why not?"
"You know why." I said as my eyes tore into his.
"Bella, you don't even know who you're waiting for!" He said frustrated.
Danny wanted to be close to me but every time he tried I got a feeling deep inside me that told me he was not the one, that there was someone else. So I waited for that someone and I pushed Danny away. "It doesn't feel right!" I protested. "You're just not the one for me. And I will wait for eternity if that's how long it takes me to find him." With that I stormed out of the house. I jumped into my red Audi and headed to school. When it came time for me to buy a car, something told me that this would be a good one for me. My family and I had no classes together. We did that so we could be less noticeable. I pulled into my usual parking space and got out of my car. As I began walking, I noticed a silver Volvo in the parking lot. There was a pain in my chest that ripped through me relentlessly. I stopped walking before I would fall over. I leaned against a tree and fought back the tears that threatened my eyes now. What is happening to me? I gasped for air out of habit and I finally composed myself. I continued walking to my first class. All morning I was preoccupied with what happened. When finally it was lunch time. I took my normal seat and waited for my family to come to the table. I felt a pair of eyes burning holes into my back and I shifted uncomfortably. Danny was the first to arrive, he draped his arm around me but I shrugged it off giving him a warning look he backed off and we lapsed into silence. When the rest of the came Marie began going on about her least favorite teacher and about the new students. I zoned out and stared out of the window. The bell finally rang and I gathered my things and went to Biology. It was a small class so we each had our own table with plenty to spare. I chose the one in the far back. One of the new students was in my class. I looked up at him and felt a strong sense of deja vu. He looked miserable the poor soul
"Class this our new student," Mr. Hercaby began. "Edward Cullen." At that moment my heart shattered into millions of pieces and I felt the most strong sense of longing. Edward nodded his head and took his seat at a lone table. Mr. Hercaby began walking towards the back of his class where his desk sat.
"Mr. Hercaby may I go to the nurse, I am not feeling well." I said my voice barely more than a whisper.
"Of course. Do you need someone to help you there?" He asked almost concerned. Almost.
"No." I whimpered and immediately rose but tripped. Luckily I caught myself but not without every eye of the class falling on me. Every eye. I blushed and ran a little more quickly than a human would have out of there. When I was sure noone was around, I ran vampire speed to my car. I sat there and I cried uncontrollably. After I had composed myself, I went to 7th period. It was already in progress so I forged a note from the nurse explaining where I had been. I turned to go to my seat and there he was, right behind my normal seat. I tried to ignore the longing feeling in my chest and the tingling in my hands as I sat down. He did not notice me so I was thankful. I couldn't stop thinking about him until I noticed everyone began to leave class. I moved toward the door quickly but my luck had avoided me. I tripped on the desk and went flying through the door, unable to catch myself. I felt cold arms wrap around my waist. An electric current went through my body and I had a flash back.
Excerpt from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
"Ladies first partner?" Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I could only stare at him like an idiot.
"Or I could start, if you wish." The smile faded; he was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent.
"No," I said flushing. "I'll go ahead."
I was showing off just a little. I'd already done this lab, and I knew what I was looking for. It should be easy. I sapped the first slide into place under the microscope and adjusted it quickly to the 40x objective. I studied the slide briefly.
My assessment was confident. "Prophase."
"Do you mind if I look?" he asked as I began to remove the slide. His hand caught mine, to stop me, as he asked. His fingers were ice-cold, like he'd been holding them in a snowdrift before class. But that wasn't why I jerked my hand away so quickly. When he touched me, it sung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us.
"Are you okay?" I heard his melodic voice in my ear as his cool breath tickled my neck. He sat me upright then turned me to look at him. His angelic face turned to pure shock, his miserable manner disappeared into thin air and he couldn't speak. "Bella..." he breathed.
