Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does. If you want it to keep it PG, you'd better hope it stays that way!
I love the night. I love the way it blurs the edges of shapes. I love the way it sharpens them. I love the way my skin glows. I love the thrill of the hunt. I love my prey. I love the hot blood coursing down my throat.
I have long dark brown hair. I have huge brown-gold eyes. I have cold glowing white skin.
I look fragile. I look vulnerable. I look helpless.
I am telepathic. I am empathic. I am psychopathic.
Call me the Haunt of Twilight. Call me the Queen of Night. Call me the Star of Daylight.
My name is Bella Swan. I'm a vampire.
In my wide travels I rarely come across one of my own kind, and when I do, I usually kill them. Blood-drinkers with flaming red eyes that dim to a dry maroon as they slowly die. Make no mistake, I'm not a tracker. I won't lower myself to those vast depths.
But humans rejoice, for I clear their nightmares and ask no repayment, not even their blood. I feed off the creatures of the wild. I am very old, one of the originals. My memory stretches back over the millennia, thousands upon thousands of years. There is only one thing I have forgotten: my creation. I have never been human, I know that much. I believe that my past is in my future, and that thought gives me reason to carry on.
I am heading now for the Olympic Peninsula, where whispered rumours have told me exist a coven of non-human feeding vampires. I do not know if this is true or a falsehood, but yet I go. The temptation draws me, driving all thoughts of resisting to siren call from my mind. And so I go, running through the wild to the little place that pulls me towards it, towards my fate, my destiny.
In my unbeating stone heart, I know that I will not kill the vampires, if I meet any. And that alone will change me, will melt unmoving ice and freeze it into something else. But I have no choice, I will answer the call, and hope that I can retain myself along my unknown journey.
It is the first time I have deliberately sought out other vampires, not to kill but to acquaint. It's time for a change.
That's the end of the first chapter. The lack of punctuation in the first bit is DELIBERATE! Don't review and complain about that bit. Having said that, if you see any other errors tell me! Any Australian-American discrepancies are NOT errors. I'm proud to be an Aussie! Please review! Thanks for reading!
