I don't know if this is any good, but after reading fanfiction for so long I wanted to try my own story. So here we are.
Plot: Edward made a mistake. Now he is on the run. One the run from the volturi and on the run from his former brother. Can he continue or will his former life catch up to him?
Prologue
Its night time when Edward dared to go out ones more. His lonely figure was hardly recognizable in the light of the streetlamps. The last two years have taken a toll on him. His designer clothes traded with old clothes with rips all over them. His hair obscured with a cab. And his former confident stature is replaced by hunched shoulders and a shifty, nervous walk. All this to escape the volturi and the ever growing presence of his former brother.
The vampire couldn't stay in a place more then a few days, if the place was big enough then perhaps a few weeks. It's too dangerous to stay in one place to long. He stayed in L.A. longer then he intended. Edward had hoped that the resident crime scene would mask his stay in the city. He couldn't use his credit card because they were observed and most of his contacts were known by his broth… no former brother. And if he wanted to stay ahead he had to be unpredictable.
But it became increasingly difficult.
Two years were a long time. Two years since he slipped and killed in his school a girl. Two years since Alice had a vision of the volturi coming. Two years since he left his family, so they could have a fighting chance. And two years since his former brother betrayed their family and him in joining the volturi.
It was a normal day in Forks-High school. The heaven was like often clouded and nothing forewarned Edward about the impending doom that would befall him and his family. It was a day like every other until after lunch when he sat in Biology. As he sat in his seat and smelt the most incredible smell, he couldn't help it: before he knew what was happening, he sprang and ripped into the girl's throat. It was divine nectar and like a dying man he drank her dry in a heartbeat. Only after became the vampire aware of his surroundings. The screams and the thoughts of the witnesses came together in one terrible symphony. And Edward couldn't stand it. Before he realised it he had killed half of the class and the rest were following shortly after. As he stood there with his former copper coloured hair covered in blood and his clothes ripped with the struggles of his now dead class comrades Edward realised what he had done. He exposed their secret. He has brought his family in danger. Not only from the humans but more importantly from the volturi.
They were already keeping an eye on his family. His family has grown too powerful. A coven with so many powerful individuals was both tempting and a thorn in the side of the Italians. Carlisle had warned them that they had to be more careful especially after he and Alice had joined us. And now had Edward in one short moment, in 5 minutes jeopardized their whole family.
The blood covered youth looked now more than ever as young as his body-age suggested, if not younger. And he did the only think he could think of: he ran. He ran home. The only safe place he could think of. Carlisle would know what to do, Carlisle would make everything right.
Shortly after arriving home he began pacing not seeing the bloody footprints he left behindon the floor. Not long after his family members came. But their arrival brings no relief. Alice had informed the others of what happened and they had discussed the situation on the way here. They wanted him gone. Edward protested but all his arguments were shot down. Alice had a vision and the only way to protect the most family members would be if I were to stay away and not to make contact with any of the family members. The mind reader tried all he could think of, but they all shielded against him with songs or reciting poems, so that he could not get the content of the vision and their thoughts about it.
So in the end he was after a heartfelt goodbye sitting in his Volvo and driving as fast as he could away from the only family he knew. Shortly he had had to dispose of the car, too traceable.
Carlisle had given him a speech that he was proud of him no matter what and that he shouldn't feel guilty about what to come. The volturi had their eyes on them for decades it was only a matter of time when they would find an opportunity. He had exchanged hugs with the rest of the family. The goodbye to him and Alice were most difficult. Edward had known them the shortest but he had formed a tight bond with both of them. Alice had confided that there will be a time when Edward should stop running and accept his fate and it didn't matter how bleak the future looked he will find happiness. The mind reader couldn't understand why he should run because her vision. But he did what all wanted from him and had driven out of forks.
Not long after he learned of the betrayal of his former brother. The volturi had come to Forks. It hadn't come to a fight. But it was the next worst outcome. His family was alive but the bonds they shared with him were severed and they were not allowed to speak to him or make contact with him ever again. Not that they would, now that they had no shared bond, no feelings for him.
But the biggest shock was my former brother. He joined the volturi. The clan which threatened them and forced Edward away from his family. And not only that, now his sole mission was to catch Edward and bring him back to the volturi. The mind reader didn't know what would happen to him if his brother would catch up, but he wouldn't wait to find out.
Time flew by and now Edward was a little over two years on the road. Everyday was a fight to stay ahead, to keep his head down and to survive.
At first the vampire tried to stay on his animal diet. But in a forests aren't many hideouts for a vampire and not much different scents to mask his own. He was found very fast. And in a forest in Montana was also the first time he saw a member of his former family again. But as he read the mind of his brother he learned that he was not here for a reunion but here to bring him to Italy to the volturi. Only luck and quick thinking let him to his escape from his brother and the volturi guards.
After that he tried to stay in bigger cities where the scents of the humans mask his own. In the cities he could find easy shelter and he is only one of many. He could stay under the radar.
