Chapter 1

'Flashback'

(Bella's POV)

Flashback:

I woke up to my window glowing white. I walked up to it and peeked out of the curtain, hoping not to see the sun. I groaned lightly seeing a thick layer of snow atop of my truck and an even thicker layer on the front lawn. Rain I could handle, snow was a step lower. I turned around to look at Edward, not noticing that he had not even been there. I looked around my room, but he was nowhere in sight. I ran out of my room and down the stairs, expecting him to catch me as I tripped on the last step, but he didn't catch me and I ended up falling on my face, instead.

I was curious of why he wasn't there; it was Saturday, after all. I made the conclusion that he must have gone home and was going to be back in a matter of minutes. I felt reassured at this and walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast while I waited. I poured myself some cereal and milk, and started scooping it into my mouth.

After I had finished my cereal I was beginning to get worried. I had spent about an hour slowly eating my cereal, but Edward still wasn't there. I quickly decided to head over to the Cullen's mansion to see for myself what was going on.

I went up to my room and pulled on some jeans and my brown sweater. I skipped every other step on the staircase – thankfully not falling – grabbed my jacket, and headed out the door to my truck. I tried to get as much snow off the roof of my truck as possible, though when I was done a good amount was still piled onto it. I gave up on getting the snow off and checked my tires to see if the chains were still in place. I'd never taken them off from the last time it had snowed, just in case. I got into my truck and turned on the heater, and drove off to the Cullen's house.

I got out of my truck quickly and walked to the front door. I knocked, but there was no answer. I knocked harder until my knocking just became banging. Soon the door creaked open after I banged really hard on it and I stepped quietly inside. Nothing was there. It was completely bare. The piano, the coaches and armchairs, the T.V., they were all gone.

Panicked, I ran up to the stairs to check the other rooms. I peeked into Carlisle's office and Alice and Jasper's room, but they were both bare. I ran up to Edward's door and paused in front of it, hoping when I opened it he would just be sitting on his couch with his arms held open, waiting for me, telling me surprise and laughing when I told him how worried I was.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and opened the door. I peeked out from under my eyelashes, and then opened my eyes wide. It was empty, also. I took a step in and tripped on my other foot, but I didn't get up. I just continued to lay there while tears welled in my eyes and fell onto my cheeks. I gripped the carpet with both my hands and squeezed it tight, and then something above me caught my eye. There was a red lace ribbon pinned against the wall, and hanging on it was a deep red rose and a dark red envelope. I slowly got up and reached for it, but when I did, strangely, the wind picked up and the ribbon flew out the window, still carrying the rose and the letter.

I ran out of Edward's room and down the stairs, tripping occasionally, but catching myself before I fell down. When I finally made it out of the mansion I looked around for any sign of red. I finally saw the end of the ribbon go into the woods. I strictly remember Edward telling me never to go into the woods alone, but the letter couldn't have gone in that far, could it? I decided quickly that I would go in a little to look for it and if I couldn't find it then I would turn back and drive home.

I went a little ways into the forest and again saw a glimpse of red. I started to run deeper into the woods than I had anticipated to, but I needed to get that letter and read whatever Edward had to say about leaving. I finally saw the rose a few yards away, tangled onto a tree, and ran a few feet towards it before I was knocked backwards to the ground. I saw a glimpse of a pale figure over me, a feeling of pressure on my neck, and then the figure run off deeper into the woods. Before I was able to scream in pain, I heard a voice yell to another person.

"Quick, take her back to the house! I'll go after the other." The person said. Sadly, it wasn't Edward's voice, it was a female's. I felt someone lift me up and start running. My last thought before I passed out was me wishing I had the letter and rose clutched in my hand while Edward told me everything was going to be okay.

When I woke back up I couldn't remember a thing.

I slowly got out of the bed that was under me. I had no idea where or who I was. I went over to the mirror and gasped. Had I always looked like this? I touched the mirror and looked at the beautiful girl on the other side. She had long, thick brown hair that went to her waist and had gentle wave, but she also had blood red eyes and full red lips. I lightly touched my skin and let go quickly. It was so pale and frighteningly cold.

Suddenly I heard a shriek in my ear and I clutched both of my ears. I looked up and saw a bird chirping ever so lightly outside my window. So why was it so loud in my ears then? My mind started to fill up with questions. All of them unanswered. I would've explored the room a bit more, but I suddenly heard murmuring and footsteps outside my door. I quickly ran over to my bed and laid down in it.

"Are you sure she's awake, Peter?" A female's voice asked.

"I heard footsteps," A male's voice answered back. Silently the door opened and a pale, good-looking male with neat brown hair poked his head in. "She's awake." He said as he turned his head around to address however many people were behind him.

Four people walked into the room and stood silently by the bed, with curious eyes. They were all good-looking and as frighteningly pale as I was when I had looked into the mirror just a few moments ago. I finally decided to break the silence. This was a perfect time to get some answers.

"Who are you, people? Where am I? What's going on?" I hadn't meant to ask all of my questions at once, but I didn't rightfully care right now. I just wanted answers.

The only female in the group smiled. She had long, waist-length, black hair that waved gently at the bottom. "Well, I guess we do owe you an explanation. My name is Christiana and this is my coven of vampires. You're inside our home. Are you Isabella Swan? We saw a missing report for someone that looks just like you and it said that was your name."

"I-I don't know." I said feeling awfully confused. That name sounded so familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it so many times before. The male with neatly cut brown hair quickly walked over to me and examined my head.

"She seems to have lost her memory after she was bitten. It could've possibly been the pain that did it." He said to Christiana as he pointed a flashlight into my right, blood red eye.

"This is Simon." Christiana said gesturing to Simon as he walked back to stand next to her. "He's been through medical school four times, not including when he did it in his human life. He's also my husband." She added as Simon pecked her on the cheek.

"This is Peter," She gestured to a boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old with messy blonde hair. "And this is Henry." She gestured to the last male who had silky looking black hair, and was looking at me with more curiosity than the others by far. Finally my brain started functioning correctly again and something dawned on me.

"Wait, 'coven of vampires'? You mean I'm a vampire!" I asked, though I felt I should've been more shocked than I was. I hadn't a clue as of why I wasn't as shocked as I knew any real human would be. Christiana seemed to think the exact same thing as I was.

"You're not as freaked out as the rest of us were when we found out." She pointed out. Probably thinking I knew everything you needed to know about vampires when I was human, when I couldn't even remember my own name. Thankfully, Simon pointed out to Christiana the same thing I was thinking.

"Honey, she could've known all about us before she was bitten, but I don't think she remembers." He said to her, putting his hand on the small of her back.

"Hmm... well, okay, then." Christiana said, eyeing me carefully. It was obvious that she didn't trust many people when she first met them, and I was obviously one of those people. I would just have to earn her trust in a matter of years.

"She needs to hunt." Simon said confidently. "We all need to since we weren't able to get many animals before we found her."

"That's true." Christiana said turning her eyes over to her husband and then to the other boys. "Henry, Peter. You take Isabella with you. Simon and I will go together." Peter nodded happily and Henry nodded slowly, curiosity still burning in his eyes.

After Christiana left with Simon, Peter grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hallway, then down a flight of stairs. When we got to the front of the house Henry was waiting for us. "So, Isabella, can you remember anything about being human?" Peter asked as we walked slowly into some woods that were next to the house.

I shook my head. "No, but you can call me Bella."
