Chapter 1: Prologue
AN: This story is a reworking of my other story waking up. I just didn't like how some of the plot and concept went. So I am throwing some stuff out and adding some other stuff. I hope it is to your guys' liking.
Disclaimer: Sadly Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight. I just get to meddle in that world every once in a while.
I love being a vampire.
I really do especially on days like this. On days when I get to run full force, feel the wind in my long blond hair, and use all of my senses. I love being able to stalk my prey and catch them by surprise. I love the thrill of the hunt. It is one of the few things that I think that I have gained by being forced into this life.
The forest is quiet today. Too many animals know that we are hunting, not that it matters we can track the most cunning of prey to their deepest hiding places. I guess you could say it is a gift.
As I listen to the things around me I can hear my sister Leeann stalking a mountain lion. She is still so young in years. She was far too young to be changed only 16. She loves playing with her food. As I sit there I can hear the great cat as it thinks it is stalking my sister its heart beat is as calm and steady as a beating drum. I almost feel sorry for the animal. It thinks it is going to win today.
Leeann and I had been on our own for quite sometime. After the wars we never let anyone get to close. We were always on alert.
Just then the winds shifted and a new scent wafted past my nose. All of my senses were alerted. It is fast, another vampire undoubtedly, and it is headed right for Leeann.
I take off in her direction. She isn't very far. I will get there right as the other vampire does. When I get there I see Leeann crouched and ready to attack. The mountain lion she has been stalking dead and drained lying at the other vampire's feet. Apparently I have underestimated her speed. She was much faster than I thought.
The Vampire is beautiful, but dirty and in need of a good bath. Another thing I noticed is that clearly she is still a newborn. I can tell by the orangey color of her eyes, but at least she is following our diet that is a plus right, but what is a newborn doing alone in these woods? Who would have created her and just left her alone? Maybe she could use our help. The poor thing doesn't look like she had anybody.
I lay my hand on Leeann's shoulder to reassure her there need not be any fight if this lovely lady isn't hostile.
"Now, now dear sister...No need to be cross…There is plenty of game for all of us." I chide. Then I look at the other vampire. She has eased out of her defensive crouch and is smoothing her long mahogany hair back out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry…" she apologizes. "I didn't realize that your sister was stalking the same mountain lion as me. I am fairly new to all of this and I am not in total control of my senses when I hunt."
"No harm no foul," Leeann said acting quite amused. It had been a while since we had run upon any newborn vampires. She smiles at that and seems to relax a little more.
"See no harm done," I add and smile warmly at her. "My name is Lynn and this is my sister Leeann." I look the young vampire over again. She is wearing tattered bloodstained clothes. I doubt she has changed them since she changed. She really did look a mess.
"We are staying in a little cottage about fifteen miles north of here. You are welcome to come back with us and get cleaned up and stay a while if you wish."
"Thank you, but I wouldn't want to impose," she said shyly. I bet she would have blushed were she still human.
"Oh no I insist...…oh my sorry I didn't even get your name."
"Bella," she said as we started to walk toward my cottage. "…my name is Bella."
Sooooo....The Newborn's name is Bella. Hmmmmm.....so how was she turned??? Where is Edward??? Why is she all alone??? so what you think read and review.....I'll give you a big Cyber Kiss...lol
