At first I had major writer's block, then it was summer break, then when I came back from vacation my internet connection was ruined by the weather, then there were many blackouts because of said weather, then my computer just completely burned out on me and on top of all that, I was starting my senior year in high school. *sigh* Okay, just had to get that out of the way.
Now with my graduation next week-no more work!-and a new hp computer as a gift and no more writer's block…=D
Well, Here it is. My fresh start :D
Disclaimer: I decided to start off on a clean slate and say this simply.
I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. STEPHENIE MEYER DOES. DAMN HER.
My Baby, Forever
Chapter 1: Is that you?
Edward POV
" Alice! Are you ready?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to calm myself down. It was 7:50 in the morning and I had to pick up Bella for school. I would have left already if it weren't for the fact that my sister told me to wait for her too or she would get Rosalie to dissemble my Ashton Martin. I shuddered, thinking about it. I checked the headboard again.
7:52. At this rate, we were going to be late, even with my 'crazy driving' as Bella puts it. If I left now, I could definitely pick up Bella and have enough time to get us to school. Alice is fast enough to run…
" Don't you dare, Edward!" Alice warned, interrupting my thoughts. Annoying little pixie; her future-seeing talent may be a gift to her, but it's a curse to the rest of us. I sighed and leaned back, trying to relax myself.
If I were human, I would have probably fallen asleep already. If only. I wished with my entire being that I could sleep. Not just to escape this life but so I could dream. Of course, there was only one person I would dream about.
Bella's image reflected in my mind. Bella. My Bella.
I smiled at the image. It was the closest thing I would ever have to being able to dream. But if I had the real Bella in my reality, that was enough for me. I opened my eyes suddenly, and sat up looking around. I felt someone's presence nearby.
A vampire.
I opened the door and leaned out, looking around the garage. I didn't sense danger but I didn't recognize the scent neither. After taking one more look around, I decided to give up. I closed the door again and leaned back. Sooner or later, the person would be caught. With seven vampires around, it would be hard not to.
" Alice! We're late already!" I yelled up at her. I didn't need to-I knew she would hear me if I spoke normally like in a conversation-but I was beyond frustrated now. Not only were we late, but Bella also was as well.
" Well, it's not my fault that Emmett decided to ruin the only pair of shoes that matched this outfit!" Alice yelled back. I rolled my eyes. I was being held up by a pair of shoes. Perfect. I heard a slight rustle and the sound of someone slapping another's head.
" OW!" I heard Emmett yell. " I said I was sorry!" I rolled my eyes. I had warned him last week that Alice wouldn't have been happy to see her shoes as a chew toy for a dog. I couldn't believe that I was one being punished for it now.
" Alice! Wear a new outfit or go barefoot! I don't care. I'm giving you one minute to get in the car or I'm leaving without you!" I warned her. A sudden movement in my backseat caught my attention. With vampire speed, I turned back and came face-to-face with a pair of red eyes.
" What the-" I started but then I suddenly felt sick at that moment. I didn't recognize who the person was or what he was up to, but it didn't matter. I started to sway and I leaned forward.
Everything started to get blurry, which worried me a little. Vampires had excellent vision. Was it even possible for us to use glasses? My head started to pound harder and I could feel my consciousness slipping. For a brief second, I wondered if I was finally getting my wish for sleep. It made me smile, but then I remembered Bella and panicked.
' This isn't normal. What about Bella? What was happening to me?' I tried to yell for help, but nothing would come out of my mouth. The pain was too intense. It could even rival the pain I felt when I first changed into a vampire.
Where was Alice? Why wasn't she here? Didn't she see this coming?
I didn't know if it was my imagination or not, but everything started to get bigger; warped into something strange and scary. Scary even for me.
" Edward!" I heard Alice scream as she saw her vision. I tried to turn towards her, but I suddenly couldn't see out the windows anymore.
" Bella…" I managed to say softly before the darkness devoured me.
Bella POV
7:56a.m
I sighed as I looked at the clock. I tapped my foot impatiently, eyeing the phone.
" Where's Edward?" I asked myself quietly. I looked back at the clock. 7:57.
I started to worry. Edward was never late. I was surprised when I woke up alone in bed. Of course, Edward wouldn't just leave without an explanation. I looked around and found a note on my bed. I picked it up now and read,
Bella,
I'm sorry that you had to wake up alone, love. I had to leave with Emmett and Jasper to go hunting. I'll be back to pick you up for school. I also need my heart back; I've left it with you.
Yours always,
Edward
I sighed, reading the note again, smiling. My smile disappeared when I saw the clock again. 8:00. I was now late. I walked towards the phone but quickened when it started to ring. In my haste, I tripped over my own feet and landed on the ground.
" Ow!" I mumbled as I stood up again and reached the phone. " Hello?" I asked into the phone.
" Oh, Bella! Thank god you're there-" Alice started but I interrupted her.
" Alice, are you all right? Did something happen?" I asked concerned. She sounded out-of-breath; it was strange since she a vampire and didn't need to breathe in the first place.
" Bella, it's Edward-" I interrupted her again.
" What?! What's wrong with Edward?" I asked, fully worried now. I knew that Edward was strong enough to protect himself if something did happen to him, but it didn't stop me from worrying.
" Bella, can you please stop interrupting me? And calm down, I can hear your heartbeat all the way from the phone.' Alice said. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before Alice spoke again. " I can't tell you over the phone, but I need you to come over right away. I 'll explain when you get here."
" What about Edward?" I asked.
" Um, Edward is…unavailable to come to the phone right now. Just get here as soon as you can without hurting yourself." Alice added. I agreed and hung up. I put my bag away-I guess I wasn't going to school today.
I ran out as fast as I could without tripping over something. Being me, I still managed to slip on the ice and land on my bottom.
" Ow…" I got up, shaking off the ice that was on me and got into my trunk. For the first time, I agreed with Edward about how slow my trunk was. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of being right about it though.
I drove to the Cullen's house, worrying about Edward all the way there. I knew it was silly for me to worry. Alice didn't tell me that anything was wrong with Edward, but I still felt that something bad happened.
I got there and parked my car in their garage. The door was opened. I turned off the engine and got out, making a run towards the house.
I got to the first step of the stairs but caught my foot and started to fall. Before my face made contact with the floor, a pair of cold arms caught me. I turned around just in time to see Alice pull me up for a hug.
" Bella! You're here!" Alice said, relieved.
" What happened that I had to come all the way here for?" I asked. " Did something happen to Edward?"
" Well, yes." She said, but noticed me starting to hyperventilate and quickly added, "But he's not hurt or anything." I sighed in relief.
" Then what happened?" I demanded. Alice let go of me and led me upstairs.
" Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but we have an idea." Alice told me as we walked towards Edward's room. Surprisingly, I thought I heard a baby crying in there. I must be imagining things. Why would the Cullen's have a baby around?
" Alice, what's going on? Just tell me." I was getting impatient and I could tell she was stalling.
" Okay, well, I'll just show you. Don't pass out or anything, okay?" Alice warned. I nodded and she sighed, opening Edward's door.
Carlisle was there and Esme as well. Everything was the same, nothing strange about it. What caught my attention and made me freeze was the pair of bright green eyes staring back at me. Those same eyes belonged on the face of the baby sitting on Edward's bed. My eyes widened as comprehension struck me.
" Edward?"
*******
=D
Yes, this is the same first chapter. I wanted to start the story over because I wanted a new fresh start. I read this chapter over and decided that nothing was wrong with it. 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it.' So the first few chapters will be the same. I just tweaked the spelling and grammar problems. But I hope you just read and get reacquainted with the story. It's probably been a year since you read it so it might feel as if it's all brand new. And if it's not to much to ask, Please review. They help with my mentality. Many thanks!
*Also, I have the first 8-yes, I said 8-chapters already typed. I'm starting on the 9th. But I will update when I update. I'm pretty unpredictable-just like my life.
