Chapter 1: The First Step To A New Life

Edward swooped me into his arms. My hands dug into his shirt. I clutched his body as if my life depended on it. I locked my eyes with his. They were that astonishing shade of topaz I loved, along with that crooked smile I longed for. I let my lips slip. His mouth melted into mine. I tangled my hands into his beautiful auburn hair. It was softer than anything. I pulled back, taking a second to breathe. I gazed into his paper white skin, as if I could see right through it. I was interrupted with his sweet velvet voice. I didn't mind at all. To listen to his voice was like listening to an angel. If not better.

"Welcome home, my angel," he mumbled between kisses. He walked me into his monstrous mansion, which was now to be my home. I had a family. I was to be loved for eternity. I was Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.

"I love you," I parted my face from his, staring boldly into his eyes. I was only hoping to get myself lost in them. I wanted us to never leave each other's side. I needed him so badly. He carried me up to his room, I suppose. I could only tell because my back had hit something soft. We continued to kiss each other for I don't know how long. It could never end for all I care. I stopped to realize I was still in my wedding dress. My hair was still up and curled. My face was done by Rosalie. I must admit she did a very good job.

"You know we must get ready for the after party. Charlie, Renee, and Phil will be here shortly along with all of your other guests." I let out a groan in complaint. Tonight would be the night I would say goodbye to everyone that has cared for me, been there for me, and loved me, to be with Edward. As much as I loved Edward, it would be very hard to say farewell to my family and friends. I loved them all so much. After a few more kisses, a few playful tackles, and alot of french designers, Edward wrestled me into a cute royal blue dress. It was long and flowing. It had gems embedded into the top, and last but not least, it was Edward's favorite color. After I was all dressed and ready, I looked myself top to bottom in the mirror.

"Do you like it?" Edward questioned me. I took a minute to ponder, remembering the moments Alice had, against my will, shopping for yet another dress.

"It's okay," I stammered. I realized Edward was letting his frigid vampire hands slide down my back. I shivered with delight. His hands made their way down from my shoulders, and down my sides.

"You are absolutely gorgeous. You are so absurd to think you are just "okay"." He started kissing me.

"You two better break it up. We have to get a move on!" Alice called from the doorway, her nosy little head peaking on on us. But again, she looked absolutely breathtaking. She was wearing a short limeish-green dress that when up to her knees. It hugged her body perfectly, and commented her pale skin greatly. It was so hard not to be self-conscious in this particular house. Edward just growled, obviously wanting our privacy. Alice stuck her tongue out and darted at vampire speed downstairs. Guests had probably arrived because I heard "ooo's" and "aww's" as she went down the stairs. Like I said, self-conscious.

Edward pulled me out of bed and suprisingly, let me stand on my own. Maybe carrying me would be just a little too much for my parents to handle all in one day. Edward gave me one last hug, tears brimming in my eyes, before I said goodbye to my friends and family forever. I stared at my already packed suitcase on the ground. "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow I leave," was all I thought on my way down the stairs.

"Are you sure you are ready for this?" Edward asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," was truthfully, not very much. I pranced down the stairs, my knees shaking, people applauding, cheering, whistling, but it didn't matter. They had no idea what was to come.
