Long lost sister
Chapter 1: Runaway
Bella pov:
It's been two weeks since the letter came. But I still remember it like yesterday.
Flashback
Mother and me were knitting in the old parlor. Father was working in the barn. We both heard the clattering footsteps from the horses before they entered our estate. Mother had went outside to meet the strangers. For there carriage and horses made it clear that they were wealthy men. I was secretly gazing out the window. I knew it was inappropriate to look at something that was not my concern, but I really couldn't help it I had always been curious and always thirsting for knowledge. My father had thrown lots of tantrums about how my curiosity was unheard for for a proper lady. My mother always said calmly that this was the reason I didn't have many suitors.
Mother and the strangers were talking outside. I only noticed now that they were wearing confederate army uniforms. Mother started screaming and ran inside she yelled "Isabella fetch father in the barn, now! I didn't stop to ask what was wrong because when I looked at my mother's face all I could see was pure agony and grief . I had gotten father and now we were all sitting In the parlor. I was wondering why the soldiers were here. Maybe they came to bring the news that Jasper was finally coming home.
Jasper was my brother and my best friend. He always stood up to father when he found another suitor for me. He helped me when I was stuck doing some chore for mother and whenever I needed him he was there. But then he went to the army. He had been gone for 6 months. I was broken out of my musings when mother started crying. I listened more closely and then I knew Jasper was gone!
End flashback
Since Jasper was declared missing, father was free to do anything around the house. He had chosen 5 suitors that I had to choose from. All five of them were equally horrid. He Yelled at least five times a day at me and mother. And the worst part was that I couldn't even lift my heart out to Jasper. I just couldn't take it anymore so I decided to run away there was no way that I was going to marry those men never. I wandered into the woods. It was there that I saw him. He was beautiful with blood red eyes. There was something about him, that told me I should run. But I didn't he came closer aiming towards my neck and then there was the burn. It was excruciating agony beyond words. I screamed and screamed till I noticed that it only made me weaker. I don't know how long I laid there burning but at some point my heart started to speed the burn was numbing but my racing heart didn't slow. With one last frantic beat it stopped. I woke up facing the man that had bitten me and he explained what I had become. He asked me if I was thirsty but I really wasn't. Later I learned that it was part of my gift. I had gone away from the vampire that changed me and went in search of animals. He had told me that there was an alternative to killing humans, and I wanted to avoid that at all costs.
Now I think I should explain my gift. I could control elements. Witch is very dangerous for other vampires. Especially the fire although it didn't harm me It could harm others. That is why I stayed away from other covens. I still ached for my brother every day . It had been two hundred years since I was changed. I was going to go to another remote location somewhere where the sun barley came out. A place that I could live in for a period of time before I had to move on again. I was changed when I was seventeen so I had enrolled in the high school there. The place I had chosen was forks, Washington
