Beyond the Years
Chapter 1:
I have been a happily married vampire for only a short period of ten years, but have not yet regretted my decision to leave humanity behind. After all, I am married to the most breathtaking creature on the planet, universe, whatever could be fathomed. A creature by the name of Edward Cullen. My darling Edward is more than I could ever have asked for, and brightens each day with his bright face and loving concrete embrace. He is more than a god to me and though I may be selfish for thinking so, he is mine forever...
"Rose, Jasper, are you coming? Everyone else is already at the field!" I shouted to my Cullen siblings as Edward pulled me along, anticipating our run to the family field, part of the 400 acres of Wyoming that we now owned. Rosalie was busy fixing her outfit for her dearest Emmett and Jasper meditating in front of a rabbit as they called to us in unison, reading each other's future words.
"We'll be right there, go right ahead lovers!"
Edward let out an excited sigh, and pulled me towards the door.
"For old time's sake?" He questioned playfully, throwing me up onto his shoulders. I could feel the excitement coursing through his solid form as he prepared to run with me like he did when I was human.
I leaned forward and whispered into his frigid ear," Ready Captain?" I clutched his statuesque form tightly, even though it was unnecessary for me to be concerned about my safety.
He shuddered with excitement and muttered, "Ready for takeoff," For it was indeed like we were being shot out of a cannon. Edward was the fastest runner of all the Cullens, matched closely by Emmett. I of course had inherited my distaste for running in vampire form anyway. I left it to Edward to let me treasure the moment of running. Besides, I could hang onto him for 500 years and I wouldn't be wasting time.
I breathed the air rushing by like it was gold and precious, smiling at the fresh scent of the Earth around me. More smells surrounded me, gasoline and smoke and something perfectly detectable and delicious. I yelled at Edward to stop, and launched myself off of his shoulders and bolted for the scent. The scent of Human Blood.
"Bella!" Edward had picked up on it too, and was now bolting after me in a panic.
"Bella! Wait. Stop!" I was tuning him out, because I smelled the most glorious smell in the world. It was growing stronger and stronger and finally, I was able to find it's source. And decipher the exact smell. There were two blends of fragrance. The first, was a mixture of pine and rosemary hints, with the typical blood smell. The other, was a sweet maple and oregano…It was overpowering and consuming, and I let myself be absorbed by the delicacy. I didn't realize in my excitement, that I had come upon a car accident, explaining why the smell was so pungent; it was all over the road. As soon as I took in the messy scene, I was awakened from my trance and from my smelling spree, and I felt guilty and troubled. I peeked into the mangled car, and saw two small bodies, reeking with scent. There were adult figures too, and probably another in the 18-wheeler a couple feet away. I backed away slowly and I turned away to find Edward behind me.
"Come here." He ordered me quietly.
"Bella, we have to leave here. This isn't good for you."
"Edward, there are two children here. They are dying." I spoke in a monotone, but he knew that I was pleading with him. I was begging with my eyes. He shook his head solemnly and started to pull me away.
"Bella. We can't kill children, that is downright wrong."
He had taken my message the wrong way. "Edward, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, I want to save them. I want them to be like us. "
Shock and horror came over Edward's face. It was like I had told him that I was secretly in love with a werewolf, and that I had wished I had never changed.
"Bella, no."
I greeted his response with another look of pathetic want and goodness in my eyes.
"Bella, no." He repeated himself with a definite air of authority.
"It's not right. You know exactly how I felt about changing you, and they are only children! It is not right!" Edward was fuming at me, and yet, I had to choose from a selection of stupid things to say.
"You don't love them, so why would you care?"
Edward's face went blank. In a cold, distant voice, he replied, "You don't have to love someone to care about them, Bella; and in case you haven't noticed, you aren't the only person on the planet. " He turned around without meeting my eyes and strode away purposefully. I expected him to run and leave me shocked, make his message fast and painless for me, but instead he kept walking slowly and silently.
I called to him desperately, "Edward!" There was no response from him. "Edward! Please!" I tried a different approach, knowing that my time to save the children was running out. "What do I do then?" This time, Edward turned around and met my eyes.
"Honestly, Isabella, I don't care what you do." And then he ran.
From the moment that he disappeared into the wooded area, I struggled with myself about what to do.
