Chapter 1
My name is Isabella Cullen, and I am 18 years old, although in all technicality I am really 24. I am in love with the most amazing man in the world, and am currently living with him and his (our) family in Forks Washington, possibly the rainiest place on the face of the earth. Life is wonderful.
Oh, and did I mention that we are a coven of vegetarian vampires? Because that is kind of important.
"Hello love." The always familiar voice spoke softly, almost inaudible even with the super sensitive hearing that accompanied being a vampire. A smile flitted on my face, lifting the corners of the lips to fit into a position well used.
"Hello yourself." I turned and his arms encircled my waist, never cold now that I was as equal to ice as he was. Golden eyes twinkled down at me, mirroring the crooked smile playing over his lips. For moment we stood, simply basking in each other, enjoying the moment of peace before, inevitably, Alice would barge in and crack the atmosphere of serenity.
"Bellllaaaa!" speak of the devil.
For a moment longer I stood, staring at Edward, giving him my best pleading pout to get me out of the inevitable shopping trip that was surely coming. He chuckled softly, a velvet sound that had once made me simply melt. I groaned and rolled my eyes, a shade of deep chocolate brown so different from those typical of vampires following our lifestyle. For a reason unknown to all, my eyes had never altered after the change.
I guess I'm just a magnet for oddities.
Reluctantly I released myself from his grasp, turning to face the tiny woman standing behind me, hand on her hips, her face twisted into an angelic pout beneath the crop of black hair.
She really did look like a pixie.
"Bella, I have a surprise for you!" She smiled a mischievous smile, her full lips turned upwards in a flash. "Close your eyes." She said, more like demanded.
I sighed dramatically but complied with her request, allowing her to lead me across the marble floors of the home we shared, both of us matched stride for graceful stride. My clumsiness was one of the things
that had disappeared after the change, much to everyone's relief. As Edward so often told me, if was nice not to have the rest of the family run from the vicinity each time I fell and scraped myself, or got a paper cut.
Very nice.
Outside the sun shone warmly overhead, sending shards of light glimmering off both Alice and I. The sun was rare in this town, heck it was rare in the whole peninsula. I expected for her to stop once we were outside, but she continued on, changing direction for the garage, that much was obvious even without the aid of sight. I frowned then, lines creasing the pale, smooth skin that made up my complexion. It was only a few shades lighter than it had been when I was human, and hadnt changed enough to raise questions from those who didnt know about the change.
Finally she stopped walking, the familiar smells of oil and gasoline invading as we stood in the oversized room, filled with cars of all sorts. I guess that comes with living in a house full of rich vampires, many of who rather enjoy their cars.
"Ok, Open!" Alice's musical voice echoed through the garage, filled with excitement and laughter. I took a moment before obeying, almost dreading what I already figured would come next. Alice had been trying to convince me to let her buy me a car since the change, now that my truck no longer satiated the speed of my driving. I had already guessed what I would see, and for her sake I would act surprised.
What I did see made my jaw literally drop in shock.
"Tada!"
In the midst of all the Cullen cars sat a sleek black Mercedes convertible, shining in all its glory. A soft top was set up, tinted windows rolled down to reveal an interior of soft, supple black suede. A six CD player shone in the center of all the other controls. Controls for climate, controls for air conditioning, controls for a bloody GPS computer system. Not a speck of dirt marked the glistening exterior of the car or the spotless interior.
To put it simply; extravagant, elegant, luxurious.
To put it even simpler; bloody expensive.
"Earth to Bella!" The voice shattered my thoughts, invading into the peace that had accompanied shock.
And still I stood there, gawking at the car, all though simply calling it a car seemed an understatement.
And then the air started to pop, crackling with static electricity. The lights flickered overhead, the soft playing radio in the background lapsing in and out of life. Faint bursts of electricity burst and popped and the tips of my long, pale fingers. Alice was laughing hysterically. Glaring I turned to face her, staring angrily in silence until her hair puffed out and began flying rebelliously, static overtaking the strands.
That stopped her laughter. Serves her right.
That's my power, call it a gift, call it an ability, call it a nuisance. Call it whatever. In states of extreme emotion I affected everything electrical that was nearby, and if I concentrated hard enough I could control static electricity. I couldn't control when this happened, but I could control it to an extent. Nobody quite understood how this tied in with who I was as a human, it just kind of happened.
"ALICE!!" I finally managed to find my voice long enough to yell. Within moments Edward was by my side, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me towards him as he chuckled. I pushed him off of me, feigning anger. "You knew!" I accused him.
Edward looked hurt, pulling off what was perhaps the most beautiful pout in the history of, well, ever. "And what makes you say that?" For a moment I paused, but the grin that kept flitting on and off of his face told me I was right. For the second time that day I groaned and rolled my eyes at him, only succeeding in earning yet another chuckle to pass the lips curved perfectly to fit his face.
"Sooo... Want to take it for a test drive?" He finally allowed the grin onto his face, laughing as he did so.
I pondered for a moment, still wearing my fake-anger mask before my face split into a grin larger than his.
"I'm driving."
