A/N – Okay, so this is my first fanfiction on here, I have written ones before but none on Twilight, It's been a while so bear with me if the writing isn't that good.

This story takes place in between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Bella had chosen who she wanted, she decided on Edward but goes back on her decision and chooses Jacob. Edward has vanished from Forks, along with the rest of the Cullen's and now there's a new family moving to La Push but it seems this family has a secret. I'll be writing this story in the perspective of Bella mostly though some will be in Jacob's POV and some in Edwards.

Prologue

Unknown POV

It was a dark night, I remember it because this was the night my life changed forever. I had somehow ended up in Chicago and the nightlife was lively, clubs were filled with all these people having a good time, I should have joined in but I wasn't in a celebrating mood, what I wanted to do was find out why he had brought me here...

We had ended up in a bar, it wasn't too full but there was enough people to give me a headache, I told him I'd be right back, I headed out for some much needed air. This street was deserted and the ground was damp, just my luck that I'd end up in a place where it rained!

"Hey you!..." shouted an unfamiliar voice, obviously I would talk to unfamiliar people but something about this voice wasn't...right. I turned to see a dark figure looming in the shadow of the alley next to this stupid bar. "Well? Are you going to answer me?" he snapped. I opened my mouth to reply but the door of the bar flew open and out stepped the only familiar person here, Edward. He looked at me, I thought he'd have a look of concern on his face but what I saw frightened me. "Get inside, I'll handle this", he never tore his eyes away from this mysterious person. I hesitantly headed inside as Edward began mumbling under his breath to stranger. I couldn't be sure but as I walked into the bar I could have sworn I heard Edward say "leave him alone, this one is mine!", there was something about the way he said the word mine. I slowly sat myself at a table and waited, after about ten minutes Edward walked in. He looked at me strangely...Like he was hungry and I was a big slab of meat waiting on a plate.

Edward POV

I couldn't believe this. Why was my life or whatever this miserable existence was just so unlucky for me? What had I done to deserve this?

As I headed back into the bar there was only one thought on my mind but it was drowned out by the other thoughts of every person in this room, all but one person's mind was open to me. And that person was who I'd brought here. The young boy sitting at the table waiting for me. I sat at the table and downed another shot of...I don't know what it was but it was good. More thoughts pounded in my skull and caused a stir in my brain. They all ran through me as tried to find something interesting, an interesting enough thought that would distract me from the pain I was feeling when she, the love of my life, chose him. I was in need of a distraction so I wouldn't look at this poor innocent boy sitting next to me, he couldn't be much older than eighteen. I listened in on the thoughts running through my brain as they played out as if on speakers hooked up to microphones everyone was wearing.

I wonder if he'll take me home, He's cute.

I think I'm getting lucky tonight...YEAH!

Maybe I should head out now, I've got work early in the morning, come on, get yourself off this stool and leave!...Maybe just one more drink.

When this shift is over, I'm quitting this job, I can't stand to watch all these people make fools of themselves every night anymore...

I wonder what that boy is doing with that creepy looking guy in the corner, he looks scared and the other guy looks scary.

That last thought snapped me out of my trance as I glanced to the boy next to me, the look in his eyes reminded me a look she once had...Bella, my Bella, except...she wasn't mine anymore, she made her choice, she was with Jacob now, the wolf, that stupid mutt had ruined everything I had. "Run..." just slipped from my mouth, he looked up at me and asked "what?", I knew he was scared and it was me scaring him, but something about it gave me a thrill, the hunter in me was taking over "Run! Leave now and don't look back...just RUN!" I screamed at him. Everyone in the bar looked over as the boy next to me scrambled to his feet, in a second he was gone, the door to the bar closing slowly after him.

What's his problem, that poor kid, hope he'll be okay.

That thought was all I need, all the hunter in me needed, I stood and swiftly headed for the door. Walking out into the night I was hit by the smell of sewage, rain and alcohol. I could hear him, his panting as he ran and that's when the darker side of me took over, I began to run, I decided at human speed because It would make it more fun, it would taunt him more. As I headed down the street I passed a small store with a TV in the window, the news was on as I passed. I stopped and looked in the window. On the news, the woman behind the desk was discussing all the missing persons and that's when the face flashed across the screen, the young boy with me, the one I'd taken, the one I was hunting. Taken back to reality, I began a quicker pace, I was going to catch him but when I did, the one thing I thought was...what will I do when I catch him?

"I need a ticket please...I don't care, anywhere, just anywhere away from here...hurry!" His voice echoed in a panic. I rounded the corner and saw him, at the bus station, he was attempting to escape. And now it was time to wait.

As he headed out of the station, I moved closer, keeping to the shadows, he was getting closer and closer, clutching the newly bought ticket in his hand, he came into full view and I grabbed him, throwing him to the ground.

Young Boy's POV

I was met by cold hands from nowhere, I gasped as they grabbed hold of my arm, clutching it and holding it tightly, so tightly that I knew there'd be bruises but before I could think anything else I was thrown across the alley, crashing to the cold, damp ground.

"Did you think I would actually let you go?" He taunted, I stared up at him, my whole body hurt as he advanced on me. "Why..." my voice croaked. He stopped in his tracks and stared at me, his face unreadable. "why?" his voice was soft but had a hint of bitterness. I stared before opening my mouth to say "why are you doing this? One minute you said you'd help me and the next you're...trying to kill me?" I was scared. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would burst through my chest. He walked closer and got down on his knees beside me. "I'm doing this because...It's what I do, what I am! You just happened to remind me of someone, you're mind fascinates me." He stated as if he was going to explain more. I looked at him. "But why does my mind fascinate you, who do I remind you of?" as soon as the last few words slipped from my mouth he cringed. "Enough questions...just know that I wouldn't have done this if you'd met me two weeks ago...please know that".

I was confused. Why would he say that?

"It's time to go now...come on"

He seized me by the wrist and dragged me from the ground, dragging me further into the alley, I looked back at the soggy, torn ticket lying on the ground, knowing that my only chance of escaping was gone. Something hit the back of my head and I was lost in darkness.

Edward POV

The small apartment I was staying at wasn't much, but it would do. I wasn't planning on staying after this...I couldn't believe it, After so long I was going to do something I'd fought against doing for at least 80 years. I opened the door to the bedroom, switching on the light as I entered and there was my pray, tied to the broken bed frame I'd rested against the wall, he was still unconscious so I glanced around the room, I'd drawn the curtains but It had to be at least 5am by now, the sun would be burning through soon, I could already see the light of day forcing the night into submission.

I walked over to him as he stirred, opening his eyes. He looked around the room "wha...what? where am I?" he asked, still groggily. I didn't feel like answering constant questions, I was hungry. "That doesn't matter" I walked over, holding up a small pocket knife. His eyes quickly found it as It was raised by his head, he began to tremble. "Please don't...let me go, just let me go!", Something in the way he said it made me vulnerable for a moment, I was soon snapped out of that and continued to grab hold of his shirt by the shoulder, I dug the knife into it and dragged it down across his chest, ripping the shirt open to reveal his skin, the vein in his neck was visible as I drew in closer. "I'll try and make this quick, you really don't deserve to suffer and I'm sorry for what I'm about to do" I whispered in his ear. He was still trembling as my mouth found his neck, my teeth piercing the skin, he cried out as the blood flowed into my mouth, it was wonderful, I hadn't had human blood In so long and this was...this was indescribable.

He blacked out after that. I don't remember how long I fed on him but I had taken a break before I continued, he was gone, I think, dead.

I had to stop this, I was going to stop, I had to. In that moment I had made my decision, the next thing I knew, I was running, running to where I knew sanctuary would be, where my family would be. But the one thing I didn't know was if that kid would be found.
