"It all started that fateful day my love decided to leave me. By fateful, I simply mean it started a chain of terrible events that forever ruined the sanctity and security of my very simple life.
I remember the night I turned seventeen as if it happened yesterday. I was going to be married to Anna Royce, the most beautiful, wonderful, talented person alive. I remember the warmth of her smile, how it never failed to make my chest fuzzy and turn my bones to jelly. Her sparkling emerald eyes matched mine, and in the sunlight, they almost looked golden. He hands were as soft as slik, and she always wore gowns that enhanced her eyes.
The day I turned seventeen, I married Anna. No longer was she to be titled Anna Royce, but Anna Mason. Yes, I loved the sound of that. The very sound of that sent chills of love, lust, and wonder down my spine. "
I smiled wistfully. Yes, I miss Anna, more than one can imagine. I haven't told a soul about this. No, not even Carlisle, the man I love like a father. Here I am, almost ninety years later, still in love with a woman who not only left me for some other man, but has died, also.
I, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, am a vampire who lives with a family of other vampires whom all have mates. I stay at home every year on Saint Valentine's Day, playing my piano, the only thing that may ever truly understand me. The only thing that has changed about me since that day is the color of my eyes; amber to auburn, to black, then to amber again. My hair, my characteristics, and the heartache I feel everyday remains the same.
I, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, will attempt to tell others my story through emotions expressed through words, if others will listen.
Will you?
