London, England 1765 July 21st
As a man was walking out the front door of his small cottage a small girl named Isabelle 'Belle' Cullen, grabbed his shirt.
"Papa, where you go?" She asked as the man bent down to her level.
"Out Belle, I'll be back soon don't worry my sweet daughter. Listen to Jane okay." Carlisle Cullen said.
Carlisle's father was a pastor and wanted him to be a pastor to. He sent Carlisle on Vampire and Witch hunts almost every night, even though his granddaughter, Carlisle's daughter, waited restlessly each night for her father to return.
At the age of 26 his father married him to one of the worst ladies in the town, who, not so sadly, died in childbirth with Isabelle. Soon after Carlisle was forced into marrying a woman named Jane, the mayor's daughter. Jane hated Isabelle instantly. Isabelle despised the times she was left alone with her step-mother. She was constantly forced to clean and cook and other household chores that are initially for her step-mother.
"Okay papa, but I want my kiss first." Belle said.
Carlisle chuckled at his daughter and pecked a kiss on to her cheek then her forehead then her nose and finally her other cheek. Isabelle was mature for her age, she never complained once about Jane's behavior. She covered all of her bruises that were inflicted when she failed a task given to her. Carlisle didn't know of his wife's treatment towards his daughter, Isabelle wanted to make sure he never did.
He then headed out the door for another routine Vampire Hunt.
He never returned home after that night.
London, England 1778 September 13th
Little Belle grew up without her father. Living with her grandfather instead. He wanted to marry her off on her 16th birthday, that day was today.
He arranged for her to marry the most abusive man in the town and probably all of England the one known as Sir James.
Sir James was wealthy man; in fact he was the 4th nephew to the King. Sir James had already had four wives, all of who which had died of unknown causes. No one knew why, except of course the other young girls of the town. These girls were forced to work in the castle, some attending to the wives, it was soon discovered whoever he married would have bruises covering her arms, legs and torsos. They all knew, but all were too scared to alert the king.
Belle's Pov
I hate Grandfather. He took my father from me. He forced Papa to go out and fight the creatures of the night. He knew Papa might die! The night Papa left and never came home was 13 years and three days ago. I miss him, I miss my papa. I wish he would retune to me.
And now Grandfather wishes to marry me to Sir James! The worst man in the Kingdom he's had four wives already. And I don't intend to number five!
I plan to run, run until my feet fall off.
After the burning finally stopped I looked up to see a man. I was still slightly groggy from the pain, but I could make out the crimson red eyes in the darkness.
