Vampires adventure
My name is Edward Cullen, I am a vampire, 500 years old, blood thirsty vampire, killer, monster, viscous creature from the darker side of this world, this world that is home to billions of fragile humans. The only difference between me and my fellow vampires, is that..I don't want to be this way, I don't want to be a monster, I don't want to kill the innocent. I do not wish to be apart of this, this freak show that only an immortal like myself can see. Mortals of this world or "humans" live such happy fulfilling lives, without a shred of evidence that a separate world like this exists, no knowledge of what surrounds them, and after seeing what I have seen, I am glad they do not.
Yes, I am a very different soul, my life was taken from me, or should I say saved, when I was just a young boy all but 17 years of age, falling to Spanish influenza, my "farther" Carlisle changed me into this creature instead of letting me die, and that was when my whole world shifted, changed and came down on top of me. The world of vampires and demons and creatures and beings I could have never imagined were introduced to me, this world that is all but a fairytale or a horror story in the human life, the notion that anything like this was reality was ridiculous. I mention I am a vampire, creature so strong and powerful, holding the human form but preforming super natural ability, yes, that is me, and all other vampires that exist today, if only we were the most feared being this world has to offer, this is a vampires adventure...
The year is 2050, the date is 05/11, the time is 18.46, a cold night, frost outside, snow brewing in the clouds above me, a cold air that would sting my face as I walked through central park, if I were mortal, fragile and weak, but I do not feel what mortals do, so the natural elements of this world do not affect me, as I walk casually towards my destination. My family are currently away for 2 weeks, visiting friends and loved ones, even my own lovely Isabella is with them, the time apart is never easy, even if it is only 2 weeks out of a life that never ends for us. They are in Brazil, and I am here, new York city, a buzzing metropolis, and I am on my way to visit someone iv known for not very long at all, but someone I can trust, even enough to leave my precious Isabella with, his name is John Mathews, and..he is no vampire..like myself.
John Mathews, a man you would never give a second glance, which Is just how he likes it. He is holding something of mine. He lives in a top floor flat towards the eastern edge of central park, as I make my way into a deserted ally I leap from wall to wall, clinging onto fire escapes and propelling myself to great speed as I rush up to the top of the building. Within 2 seconds I am on top of the building with a view of all central park and beyond, but no time for pretty views, I take a step to my left and glide over to the fire escape door and bust it down with more force than necessary. Wood and metal splintering everywhere, but by the time all the dust has settled I am already in the dim lighted corridor filled with many doors, while I watch straight down one creaks open half an inch, and I have arrived at my destination. I glide over to the door and push it open, step into the dark room and close the door, no body to be seen, no sign of John, no sign of any life at all in this very building alone, I catch a glimpse of my cold white self in the mirror to my right, my hair wavy and curled, my clothes tight and my shoes worn, typical 17 year old gear in this year, even though the mortal world is so "advanced" now. I walk over to the window slowly, traffic looking so small, only little dim lights on the streets below flowing along, horns and voices echoing upwards towards me, busy street life, easy to get lost in, for some..
At this very moment, I feel a change in the room..as I turn my senses pick up something behind me and as I flash around nothing is there to greet me but a wide open door and the view of the hallway again, my senses are strong, but sometimes there just not strong enough.
John Mathews, a very different soul indeed, John is a creature who appears to be human, mortal and weak, no creature or being can even sense he is what he is, which is what makes him so dangerous, so lethal. Lets just say that he is the submarine in the world of demons, he is undetectable, unseen when he wants to be, and punishing when he wants to be, the perfect fighter, a warrior in today's world. His only weakness, is his blood flow. His heart beats, like a mortal humans, his blood runs through his veins, unlike mine, he is a living breathing human, But does not age like a human, he is an immortal like myself, with more strength, speed, power, intelligence than a vampire. He eats human food, he sleeps like a human, but he is no human. He is 2000 years old, he has dodged and played with death his whole life. When he was changed, into my kind, something happened to his genes during the change, something beyond anything I have seen before, even my dear father Carlisle could not come to grips with his ability. If he is wounded, he will bleed, until treatment is given, or death finds him first.
I am staring out into the hallway, confused by my senses, my shoulder is now gripped from behind as my good friend John has yet again beat me with his unbelievable stealth, as my hand reaches for his he is now already in front of me gripping my forearm with both his hands which would now be broken into pieces if he wanted to, we look at each other and burst into laughter as we once again meet in this odd friendly way.
So, how is Mr Cullen today said John
Mr Cullen is just fine I said
Well I think that's about to change my friend
Why is that I said
They have shifted south..
Bella..I said
You can still get there in time my friend said John
Yes but I am out numbered, ill never be able to alert Carlisle and the rest in time
Edward..do not focus on the bad..you must find ways to over come the challenges you face..
Yes but they feel nothing for us John, they wont think twice before..
Before what? Before they end your life? Of course they wont, that is there purpose, to kill your kind said John
How many..I said
Three, maybe more, I don't know, I passed them on my way back here, and all I know is they are headed south, to satisfy there thirst.
No..Bella..I said
Go now..before you lose...never mind...just go..now!
Before I even had time to think I was already out the door, up to the roof and powering myself over rooftops back towards my place, not caring if anyone sees me, just running as fast as a vampire can run, the thought of losing my Bella, my one and only, the love I waited a 100 years for, I could not..lose her. I reach my place and cannot help but think about what he had of mine, yet knowing I had no time for that, no time for second thoughts, fears and worst case scenarios. I pick up cash & my phone, that is all .Time to go, as my mind boils over with rage, anger and hate..ready to defend what is mine in a world so dark and evil.
I take the stairs, bounding downwards towards the bottom, leaving a cloud of dust as I rush down. I get to the ground floor and walk out onto the street, people passing and hurrying home from work, as I begin to dodge my way through human traffic without looking to abnormal, I make my way to the subway, trying to move as fast as possible without making a scene. I reach the platform and jump on the first train heading towards the airport. Normally I would drive but my car is currently scrap metal since Emmett smashed it up real good a few weeks back. I cant help but think back to the days when my Bella was just a fragile human, the days where she had a life to enjoy with nothing to fear, and now she is sucked into this world, but the past is the past, and it is still now and forever my job to protect my love, no matter how bigger monster or soulless creature will attempt to take it away.
The journey on the sub way was short, nowadays you can get anywhere in new York city within a matter of minutes. The airport is huge with lots of late night passengers hurrying along, I make my way over to the sales desk and buy a one way ticket to Brazil.
I make my way through security and passport control and head for my gate, where upon arrival I have nothing left to do but wait impatiently for my flight to board and leave.
6 hours later my flight has landed and I am headed for arrivals and make my way to the taxi rank to take me to Carlisle hotel where I know the rest of them are staying to. During the ride I call Emmett, with the news...
Emmett? I said
Edward? What are you doing here? Said Emmett
There coming..I said
The line went silent and all I heard next was a low pitched growl, and I already new he understood and he would prepare the others, I don't even know how much time we have but all I can do is get there and wait. During the ride I cant help but notice the change in culture and beautiful scenery. Brazil has always been a favourite of mine. I arrive outside the hotel and just outside the hotel lobby I see my family. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Esme & Bella close together.
I knew Jacob was in the area to, him and his wolf pack seem to follow my Bella everywhere she goes, but that's another story, there was danger on the way, a danger even a fierce wolf could not fight off, Jacob and his pack are just a bunch of puppies to what is on the way.
I could see fire in my brothers eyes, and confusion in Bella's. I walked over and took her hands in mine..
What's wrong Edward? Why have you come? Aren't you suppose to be in New York? She said
Yes dear..I am, but your in danger now, they are coming..
They are..for me..? She said, almost trembling
Yes..I said
We must move now jasper said with leadership in his voice, I trusted jaspers instinct and his ability to fight true and strong, he is a perfect fighter, dancing around his enemy like he can see into the future, he is a fine weapon to have on our side, and he shall be very useful in our next confrontation.
We headed for the hotel room, Bella walked in front of me, as I kept close behind. Carlisle & Emmett lead the way and jasper hung back with Alice. Rosalie was just tagging along not really taking anything seriously, but she was not my responsibility in this fight, and I knew Emmett would protect her with his life.
Edward, said Jasper
Yes jasper? I said
how many?
3 or 4 I said
We can hold them off I'm sure Emmett blurted out
Calm my boys Carlisle said from the other side of the room
We shall protect this family like we always have, like we always do he said
Yes..I whispered to myself
We shall not be defeated Jasper said
All I could fear is the loss of my Bella, I have heard story's of new born's who didn't survive there attacks, my Bella could not defend her self against these creatures, they are far to advanced for her, it would be like taking candy off a baby for them, but in this case taking her life. I called Bella over and she came over and sat on my lap, I wrapped my arms around her and pressed my face onto her shoulder, breathing in her scent.
Its going to be ok Edward she said
Yes..I whispered to my self
You must go with Esme and Rosalie right now, get in the car and go! Now! I said
Edward be calm! Jasper snapped
I know what you fear..jasper said more calmly.
Carlisle motioned the girls to leave, and to drive as far away as possible, heading south, away from this hotel.
Alice would stay, she has been taught by jasper many times, how to defend herself, and she has become an impressive fighter, someone I would fear if she where my enemy. I squeezed Bella tight..and then let her go and felt her weight lift of my lap. She pecked my forehead and said I love you, I said I loved her to..and watched her calmly walk out of the door. She really had no idea what hunted her, all she knew was she would not survive there attack.
The girls had left, myself and the others stood up together, knowing the enemy would strike right here, where Bella's scent is strong, they would come for her here, and we would be more than ready, and at that moment there was a knock at the door, and I opened it to find a pale faced, shivering John Mathews.
