Preface- Edward's Point of View
I've tried everything I could think of except for provoking the Volturi. When I met her the rain, wind, and clouds disappeared. My life was like a clear storm.
Chapter 1- Bella's Point of View
Today is my 23rd birthday in vampire years. Most would still consider me a newborn but here's the catch, I'm two-thirds human, one-third vampire. This means that I am immortal, have hunted, and my eyes are unlike a regular human's. My eyes will change to different shades of a honey amber color depending on my mood. One more thing, I have a power. My power is very useful and strong, especially during fights. My power is a shield and a mind reader. Typical vampires only have one power, and me having two, can be potentially dangerous. Especially if the Volturi ever found out. I would know that at once Aro would want me.
I have lived in Washington since I was born. My parents, Renee and Charlie, have been divorced since I was six and from then on, I lived with Charlie. Renee currently lives in Jacksonville with her husband Phil who plays minor league baseball. Charlie was a police officer who kept being relocated to different stations around Washington. The longest we've stayed in one place was two years. We kept moving to different places and towns which also meant several different schools. For a while we lived on the eastern side of Washington, around the Spokane area. From Spokane it was Walla Walla, Walla Walla to Olympia, Olympia to Tacoma, Tacoma to Bothell, Bothell to Snoqualmie, and Snoqualmie to little town of Forks where I've lived for two years before I was changed.
To me, all of my past is gone now. Exactly 23 years from today there was a newborn "army" happening in Seattle. I just so happened to be in Seattle at that time… with Charlie. It was dark and late out on a cold Friday night. Charlie had the day off so we decided to go see some city lights and maybe catch a movie. Not many people were out this time of night, except us. Neither Charlie nor I heard the footsteps behind us. I couldn't hear Charlie breathing anymore. As I turned around I heard a voice whisper in my ear saying "don't say a word." I felt a sharp pain in my neck and blacked out thinking I was dead. I eventually woke up and found that everything was clearer, more vivid and my hearing was more accurate. With a dry, fiery feeling in the back of my throat, I had a desire of humans. Frightened by this desire, I ran into the woods and fulfilled it with animals. I stayed there, deep in the forests of Seattle, alone and scared of what I had become. It was only then that I figured it out. Though I knew what I was, I knew I still had human qualities. For example, after the first taste of blood and flesh, for 7 days I had no more desire. I also never had a desire for human food either. Though I could eat and drink it I never felt like it and nothing happened. I never shed a single pound because of my lack of eating. Two weeks later, I walked down the streets trying to be unnoticed when a newspaper was lying on the ground. "CHARLIE SWAN POLICE OFFICER OF FORKS WAS FOUND DEAD IN THE MIDST OF SEATTLE." Charlie's funeral was one week later. I sneaked inside the church watching as people shed tears as my father's body was being lowered into the earth where he will forever remain.
Now, I live in Charlie's old house in Forks. No one in town really knew me so I can go out being unrecognized as a familiar person. As I drive down to Forks High School in my navy blue Ferrari, many people stare. Especially guys. Being a mind reader doesn't help one bit. Watching as the human mind produce vivid images of men taking advantages of my good looks and innocence is not a pretty picture.
I'm a new student this year, playing a role for a 17 year old girl who moved from Bellevue in the middle of the year. I'm hoping that I can blend in with the human race. I am everything human except for that I've tasted blood, slightly pale, my skin is a few degrees cooler than the average human, I don't age or sleep, cannot get pregnant, and my eyes change. As I pull into the parking lot, there are two other nicer cars. A red BMW and a silver Volvo.
Edward's Point of View
(Before School) Alice: Come on Edward! You have to get ready for school! Your clothes are lying on the chair in your room and your books are downstairs on the piano. I sighed as I grabbed my things and headed for the Volvo. "Oh come on Edward. Just because you hate your life doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone else" Alice said teasingly but somewhat seriously. I knew she was right for how could she not be? As long as I'm here I guess I should make the best of my stay.
Bella's Point of View
I got out of my car and walked to the main office. Everyone stared; some even whistled which made me walk faster. If I walked of ran at my full speed, I knew that some people would think something was up.
When I got to the office there was an older woman at the desk with a name tag that said "Mrs. Cope." I walked over to the desk and Mrs. Cope looked up. "Hi I'm Bella Swan." She was looking through file folders and stacks of paper. "Here you go dear. This is your schedule and locker combination. Maps are posted around the school if needed." With a smile I said thank you, told her to call me Bella, and walked out the door.
Since Charlie died I've been going into the 11th grade for 3 years. I told everyone that Charlie was my mom's brother so they wouldn't think that I was his actual daughter. Police still think I'm missing since I burned all of my pictures.
I was out of the office when I smelled vampire. There were five of them, all standing together. The wind blew and I knew that my scent was strong. I turned away hoping that none of them would notice me. The boy with the bronze colored hair turned around almost instantly. I could tell that I was his singer. I read it in his mind. He started to face me and his eyes met with mine.
Edward's Point of View
The smell, it hit me like a bullet. It was the new girl, Bella Swan. Her blood drew me to her but I knew I had to stay away. I had to fight with all my strength not to go to her. She was just looking at me, staring into my eyes. Instantly I knew she was my singer for her blood sang to me. But then, I smelled vampire.
Author's Note: I think that almost every chapter that I have had in mind except for this one has a song that just seemed to flow with this story. I will let you know later on which songs I thought would be perfect for each chapter. If you have any suggestions please let me know! I'm expecting to release chapter 2 soon!
