Chapter 1: Introductions
The pain was like nothing I had ever felt before. I broke my arm and leg when I was 10. Compared to this that would be like lying on the softest bed in the whole entire world.
I tripped, and fell over on some glass when I was to this that would fell like a walk in the park on a sunny day.
Throughout the pain I heard voices, explaining what was happening to me. They told me I was turning into a vampire. Before now I didn't even know that they existed. I thought they were just part of stories made up by mischievous older siblings to scare their brothers and sisters.
"Well, now you know we're not."
How did this voice know what I was thinking?
"Because some vampires have extra powers. I can read minds."
Will I have any extra powers?
"I don't know."
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the pain stopped.
I lay flat on the table, closed my eyes, and then opened them again.
I found my limbs and got up from the soft bed I had been lying on. I looked around and found my eyesight to be even better than it was. I could see the air particles.
I smiled and looked around some more. I finally set my eyes on a god like creature standing next to the bed I had been laying on. He put his hands up, palms facing me; as if he were scared I would hurt him.
"It's ok. I won't hurt you."
I recognized his voice as the voice of the mind reader who had been speaking to me. His voice was like a choir of angels.
And I won't hurt you.
He put his hands down and smiled. I smiled back. Slowly and cautiously, he walked towards me.
"Hi, my name is Edward Cullen."
He held out his hand for me to shake.
"Hi, my name is Elaina… urm."
"Cullen," he said, "You're a Cullen now."
"Oh. Ok. My name is Elaina Cullen."
We both smiled. This was the first time I had felt the burning sensation in my throat.
I stopped smiling and so did he.
"You must be hungry right now."
"Is that what the burning is?"
"Yes. Let's go hunting. Afterwards you can meet the rest of the family."
"This is Carlisle and Esme."
"Hi." I said.
"Hello," They said, "You are very welcome in this family and we are happy to have you."
And then Edward took me by the arm and dragged me out of the room as I waved goodbye to my new family.
"Come on, let's go." he said.
…….
Edward had taken me to a place far away from the tiny house and we had climbed up a tree. 'This is where I come to think', he had said.
"You have a small family."
"My sister Rosalie is out hunting. She'll be back in a few hours. Then you can meet her."
"What year is it?" I asked.
"1935."
"Oh. I thought it would be ages into the future. That transformation thing seemed like it took forever."
"I know. So can I ask you some questions now?"
"Ok."
"How old are you?" He asked.
"17. And apparently I will be 17 forever."
And that was when we heard screaming in the distance.
