Chapter 1
Edward POV
"Edward was the love of my life. It was much too soon to say goodbye. I would never have even thought about my life without him. He was so gentle, intelligent, kind, loving and the best husband. But apparently they needed him up there, more than down here. He had so much potential. He was on his way to having his own pharmacy. He was ready to do great things. He was 24 years old. He had so much to offer, and personally I think the world wasn't ready for him to leave it. Edward, if you're listening I want to read you a poem that's always made me think of you by Samuel Taylor Colerige.
Where true Love burns Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
that takes its meaning from the nobler part,
and but translates the language of the heart.
Edward, I'll never forget you. I love you. I'll see you someday." Said Bella, my beautiful and strong wife.
She shouldn't have had to say goodbye. It was my own fault. I was still living, if that's what you want to call it. I guess I should start at the very beginning, the day my life changed forever, literally.
On December 13th I was driving back to Forks from Port Angeles, I was doing some Christmas shopping. On the way home I slid off the edge of the road and my car rolled down into the lake below. I was barely alive, about to lose my life. A man named Carlisle, who happened to watch me fall down, got out of his car and saved my life. I know all this sounds strange, but it gets worse. Carlisle is a vampire. I would understand if you didn't believe me. If I were you, I would think this sounded insane, but it still gets worse. When I said that Carlisle saved my life, he actually turned me into a vampire also. I can vaguely remember him leaning in saying he was going to make me live, then I felt this burning sensation EVERYWHERE! It was the worst pain I've ever been through in my entire life. When I could see again, a man and a woman were standing over me and I now know them as Carlisle and his wife Esme who is also a vampire. I'm living with them at the moment. I was told to fake my death to protect Bella, which was very important to me. They also told me I would be too destructible around her and I was far stronger, faster and uncontrollable. My eyes are crimson red, I have pale skin, drink blood and have freezing cold skin, but I was curious to see my funeral, as much as it may hurt.
I thought it would be easier than this, but it wasn't. Carlisle was waiting nearby in the car. I couldn't take my Bella's tears so I ran at lightning speed to Carlisle.
"Edward, I'm sorry. But this is for the best. I know it's hard, but you get used to this lifestyle." Carlisle said sympathetically.
"I know, Carlisle. But thank you for what Esme and yourself have done for me. You've been very kind. I'll leave as soon as you wish."
"No, Edward. You are our family. We need to stay together, its almost like were human when you feel family. It'll help you adjust better. Also, I have to introduce you to someone. You see, there are a couple other members of this family. They left when I brought you back. We thought it'd be easier for you." He explained.
"Carlisle, that means a lot, but I don't want to cause any problems in your family. Are they back yet?" I asked.
"They should be back at dusk. There are 4 of them. Rosalie, Alice, Emmett and Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett are mates and Jasper and Alice are mates. Rosalie might be a bit moody about you so watch out, she has the golden hair."
"Okay, thank you Carlisle. I'll watch out for her."
The rest of the vampires were on their way and I was beyond anxious. I didn't know what they would think of me. I just hoped they were half as kind as Carlisle that would be good for me.
"They're here, dear," Esme told me. She was a very sweet woman, she reminded me of my mother, which also helped me feel more at home in this gigantic mansion full of vampires.
"Thank you Esme."
I walked out to meet them and found Carlisle was already out there with the others. The first one I saw had a huge grin on her face when she saw me. She had short pixy-like hair and looked very cheerful for a vampire. I instantly knew I'd like her. Beside her was a man, with a dead serious look on his face, it looked like he was studying me which creped me out a little. He had honey coloured hair and I assumed he was Ms. Happy's mate because he had a very protective position in front of her. Next, was the blonde that I guessed was Rosalie. Carlisle was right, she didn't look too fond of me or even pleased at all that I was here and I couldn't understand what I had done to her already. Then I noticed a man who had an arm around her. He was huge, but looked very friendly with a big goofy grin on his face. He seemed pretty cool actually.
"Hi Edward! I'm Alice! And this is my mate Jasper." The pixy haired one said as her mate Jasper nodded at me in acknowledgement.
"Hi Alice, Jasper. Nice to meet you." I said back, with much less enthusiasm.
"Hey man, I'm Emmett and this is my girl, Rosalie." The big one said flashing a smile. Rosalie didn't nod or smile at me, just glared at me, which made me quite uncomfortable.
"Nice to meet you both." I replied with a smile directed right at Rosalie, which made her glare even fiercer.
"We're going hunting, Carlisle. Edward, would you like to come with us?" asked Alice.
"Sure, I am a little thirsty." I answered.
As we ran away to hunt our unworthy prey, I thought about Bella. I daydreamed what would've been if I hadn't become a vampire. I worried about Bella's life. I hoped for tomorrow to bring a little normalcy back into my life. Bella's life too.
