I've had this idea in my head for a couple of days now. I wasn't going to start writing because I have so many stories that I'm working on already. But, as usual, I could not help it. At least I've just started Spring Break so I'll be able to work on quite a bit of my stories at once. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this new story of mine.

Chapter 1: Dead
Edward's POV
The cell phone crumbled in my hand. This just couldn't be happening. No, it could not be. There was no way that Bella was dead. It was all that murderous's thing's fault. I had warned Bella that that thing she considered a baby would end up killing her. But did she listen?! Of course not! She just had to be so stubborn! Now look what it costed! Her life.
We had been planning to force Bella into an abortion. All of us, except Rosalie and Esme, had been on board with that plan. That thing should never have existed in the first place. It was an aberration. An abomination. It had no right to exist. It went against nature. It was killing Bella from the inside out and now it finally succeeded.
Bella had ran away a few days ago while we were all hunting. We had never expected that Bella would do that. Or that she would be physically capable of doing something like that while so heavily pregnant with that monster.
It was the Denalis that had found her. The monster had just ripped and torn it's way out of Bella. When Tanya found the monster Bella was already dead. It was too late. She had just called me to inform me of that.
The monster had already disappeared by the time that Bella was found. Nobody could find that murder. Wherever it was it had just vanished into thin air.
But I vowed to find it. I vowed to find that thing and it kill it with my own hands. Even if it took me 100 years I was going to find that thing and dispose of it the way that it had disposed of Bella.
I left my family that day. I set out on my mission to find that creature. One way or another, I was going to avenge my wife's death. Even though she would probably hate me for this. I didn't care. She wasn't here anyway so why should her feelings matter.
As I was walking through the forest a few days after I left I heard something. I had to stop and listen harder in order to find out exactly what the sound was. Then I heard it again. It was the sound of a baby crying. The cry sounded weak and tired for some reason.
For the first time since learning of Bella's death I felt an emotion other then anger. It was sadness. Some human had just left a defenseless baby in the middle of the forest.
I followed the sound of the crying which led me to some bushes a little ways away. I quickly found the baby and pulled the baby out of the bushes. It was a small, warm, and weak little thing. It was a baby girl.
Her face was bright red from crying. Clearly she had been left to the element far too long. I felt an overwhelming urge to protect the baby girl.
I rocked her, just hoping that it would soothe the crying infant. She felt oddly warm as if she had an infection. Which might actually be the case.
It was then that I decided that I was going to take care of her.
This small, innocent little baby girl needed someone to love her and take care of her. I didn't understand what it was about her that brought out this strong, protective side of me. Maybe it was the chocolate brown eyes that reminded me of Bella. Maybe it was the innocence and helplessness that seemed to radiate from her that made me feel this way.
All I knew was that in the few moments since I had managed to fall in love with her. In a father-daughter way of course.
I could take care of her while I searched for the murderous thing that killed my wife. Yes, I could do that. I would not give up my plans for revenge against that so-called 'baby' that I had created. I was going to hunt that thing down to the ends of the Earth until I found IT and killed it.
But I could take care of the baby that I was currently holding. This baby was an innocent and deserving of love. The one that had killed Bella was not.
I had found new purpose in my life. To love and care for this baby girl as my own and to hunt down and kill the one that had killed Bella.
