Bella's POV

Recently I had just inherited a mansion from my dead grandmother who I had never met. The news came to me rather fast. Being a poor student I was very fortunate but when I saw it I had to admit I had second thoughts.

''It's located in a remote area in the mountains. Only hunters and young people in search of ghost would ever come here, but all the people before said that it's like a haunted mansion.''

I looked back at my lawyer Mr. Brown who came with me. He didn't look at all reliable. He pushed his glasses back up his nose and crosses his arms, grinning at the place.

''How scary.'' I wasn't afraid of the 'ghosts' they said might be inside but how it's still standing was the real question.

''I agree.'' I looked over at the little plumb man that was known as Henry. My lawyer's assistant. He had been quiet ever since we had gotten in the car.

''Rumours' say that people have seen blood stains and someone wandering around in there.'' Mr. Brown said shrugging as if it were nothing. ''So should we go back and sign a few papers?'' He asked now looking nervous.

I looked at the mansion and it really didn't look too bad. The left side was completely broken down though. The roof needed to be repaired and it was completely covered in plant. I wondered if there was any water running through there?

We were standing in front of the gate and as I pushed on it and it wouldn't budge. I gave it a swift kick and down it went, er well almost half of the gate.

''Sorry.'' I said putting one arm behind my head. ''The gate wasn't opening so I just kicked it, a habit I suppose.''

I walked over the gate and up the grass pathway. ''I wonder if I can live here.''

''You want to live here!?'' Mr. Brown asked in complete shock from behind.

''Well I already left my uncles place so I'm going to stay here tonight.''

They both were looking at me as if I had gone completely mad. I gave a small laugh.

''I don't think that there are any ghosts living here.'' I walked up to the giant double door. I opened it slowly and inside it was just as I predicted, old and stuffy. It looked grand but so old; I guess I can't really live here.

'Ahhh!'' I looked over at my lawyer who was now on the ground hold his leg. Who knew he had such a girly scream. ''Something just grabbed my leg!'' He yelled again.

''It's just stuck in the floor.'' I said kneeing down and helping him up along with Henry. But it really did look haunted. Complete with spider webs and everything.

I looked down at my hand and I saw blood!? What was blood doing on my hand?

''Ah!'' Henry yelled hiding his face in his hands.

A swarm of bat's came down from the ceiling and came down like a spiral. Hovering all over us. My arms were flying out in front of my face to get them off of me.

Out of nowhere a guest of wined appeared dust flew all around the room I covered my eyes until it was silent well except for the screaming of my so called professional help.

I opened my eyes to be met by a pair of dark green eyes and dark reddish brown hair. A boy? What was he doing here? He looked more like a god than ever. He was standing on the grand staircase in the center of the room.

''Who are you? There is no trespassing here!''My lawyer yelled stepping back towards the door.

''Trespassing?'' He repeated slow with a smirk, his face was hidden but his eyes were mocking. I looked at Mr. Brown who was backing towards the door.

''What the-'' He moved so fast I could barely see him. He was suddenly behind my lawyer and before I knew it a spray of blood splattered on the floor.

''Ah!'' He grabbed his neck his eyes in shock.

He moved again in front of the giant windows that were below the stair case and in the moon light I could see his figure better. He was standing there licking the blood off of his fingers. A vampire.

A chill came through the air. I looked back and Henry was running for the door along with Mr. Brown. So the rumours were true. I started to run but my feet weren't going as fast as I wanted them too.

Before I knew it I felt a pair of arms around me. One wrapped around over top of my right arm and his other hand grabbing my left wrist. I could feel his nose skim the back of my neck and his teeth graze my skin. My breath was heavy and so was his. He was going to bit me.

But I wasn't going to let him! I used my hand to grab his arm and with all my might and knelt down and threw him over my shoulder.

''Edward!'' Someone yelled. I was a man with hair as golden as the sun appeared behind him. His grace was unbelievable.

''Don't move so much your no better than a human you know.'' He said crossing his arms at him. Scolding him like a father and son.

''I underestimated her.'' The boy said..wait. Edward was his name?

''How dare you Isabella Swan.'' How did he know my name!? He grimaced at me.

I got up and whipped the dust off of my skirt and pulled out a cloth that I had tucked away. His head was bleeding from the side so I went to the whip it. I took a quick look back to the door to see that my professional help had made a getaway.

''No more to the right.'' He said pouting. ''And you even ripped my shirt.''

''Sorry.'' I muttered.

''Wait why do I have to treat your wound anyway!'' I said throwing the cloth at him.

''You're the one who threw me around!'' He said defensively.

''Well your joke did frighten her.'' The blonde said taking my side.

''I was just teasing you because you looked so scared.'' Edward stood up and walked into another room.

''Come.'' The blond man said. ''We'll explain everything to you.''

He walked out of the room and I followed him into what looked like a living room, or once was. It was old fashioned couches and a fireplace that looked like it hadn't been lit in years. The wood looked old and worn but there was something beautiful about it. It was like stepping back in time.

''I'm Edwards servant, Carlisle. I am also a vampire.''

''Why are you two here?'' I asked taking a seat across from Edward. He sat there arms crossed, a blank look on his face as he stared at me.

''We were friends with Maria your late grandmother, she let us stay here. But we know that you are now the owner of the mansion Bella.''

What the heck is going on! Vampires aren't suppose to exist outside of movies and Halloween parties!? I watched as Carlisle stood between us explaining everything to me, though I was distracted more by his beauty.

''It's nice to meet you.'' Carlisle said. Well that's a little hard to believe.

''I'm sorry to tell you this.'' I said looked down at my hands. I can't go along with this stupid story.

''I don't want it.'' I said matter of factly.

''What?'' They both looked at me confused.

''I'm thinking of demolishing the house and selling the land. Please leave.'' They were both in shock. Damn I guess I had to explain but why should I? I mean this is my mansion.

Edward looked at me with a glare and Carlisle shuffled back and forward between us with his eyes. Like he was ready for a fight to break out.

''I want to become a lawyer and college is going to be expensive.'' I looked back at Edward he looked uninterested.

''Besides I can't live with Vampires.'' I watched as his eyes widened for a minute and then he went back to just glaring.

''I see.'' He leaned back into the couch resting his head on his hand. ''Is that all you wanted to say?''

I felt that familiar chill again and then my body was stiff. I couldn't move, even getting air into my lungs was beginning to be difficult. I wanted to clutch my throat but I couldn't move.

''Your selfish attitude is annoying but I do admire your strength.'' I looked back into his eyes which had turned completely black, a dark smirk on his lips.

''Relax.'' He said stand up. ''It's not going to hurt or anything.''

''It's not far to bewitch her.'' I heard Carlisle say.

''Like I care.''

My head was dizzy and I started to sway slightly. He was in front of me and his face was so close to mine. I wanted to look away but those dark eyes were sucking me in. His sent intoxicating.

His hand was on my cheek and then he traced it down to my neck and to the buttons on my blouse. He undid the first couple and my body was more then willing to go along with the ride. NO! My mind was screaming at me! I couldn't move I couldn't stop him. He undid a few more.

''NO!'' I yelled and slapped his hand away.

''Phew.'' I head Carlisle whisper.

For a second there I felt like I didn't have a care in the world. How terrible.

''You jerk how dare you!'' I yelled back at him. I looked down to see my bra exposed to him. I could feel the blush on my face. I quickly buttoned my shirt back up missing a few holes I'm sure. I got up and ran behind the couch holding my chest.

''You resisted my charm.'' He said stocking towards me.

''What?'' Charm?'' Is that what he did? His eyes had returned to their normal green as he came towards me giving me a sexy smile. Wait..can a smile be sexy?

''What an interesting person to be around.'' He was directly in front of me now too close for my liking or my minds anyway. I moved my head away and he gripped my chin with his hand so that I was staring right into his eyes.

''Wanna be my bride?'' Huh!?
