The rain pelted against the windows of my Audi tt , when I was human I didn't care much for speed or flashy cars , but know that's all I cared for, now my only reason for living was to run, run away run away from what , my past...
I don't remember my past or who changed me, I wouldn't even know who I was if it wasn't for the missing persons posters that had been plastered round the city Isabella swan age 18 fiancé to Edward Masan daughter to mayor, That was 75 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday, I was forever at frozen at 18 never changing moving forward in time.
I drove in a daze staring at the steering wheel never swerving from the straight line I drove in , then something caught my vision a flash of light that would clearly not be visible to human eye's , as soon as I looked up it was gone just a stupid human fooling around in the forest I thought to myself, there would soon be stories all over the news some poor unfortunate sole got lost in the woods and never found his way out , there are allot more dangerous things in there then bears and mountain lions things you've only dreamed of in you worse nightmares , and it was for that reason that I didn't want to be like that monster that now stalked his pray.
I was shunned by the other vampires because I was different , I didn't stick to their preferred diet, no I stuck to my own means of survival getting my meals of the unsuspecting animals of the forest instead of the race I used to belong to, I was once told that I wasn't the only one that there was another coven like me , a hole coven , I'd never have the courage to knock on their door and say they were the people I had been looking for , for 65 years no I couldn't do that no I just couldn't do that...
I was on my way to Idaho , it was time to change I had been in the same city for nearly 5 years and people where starting to get suspicious of my never ageing face so I had faked my death for what seemed the hundredth time and moved on I had learned not to get to attached to the people I came to meet they either died or I moved on like I was doing now , I looked at the fading sun a sigh playing at the back of my throat the sun never ceased to amaze me with its immense beauty but then the darkness crept over causing my mood to darken even as a vampire I didn't like the dark , I don't know why it may have something to do with my past something that I'm missing but I just can't seem to shake the feeling that something dangerous lurked there . I shock my head shaking of the feeling that was souring my mood.
I looked at the road sings as I passed letting a sigh escape my lips, 200 miles to Idaho I felt like I'd been travelling for years when in reality it had only been a few hours even with my car speeding well over the speed limit time just never seemed to get away from me I sat for hours on end just wishing I had died a long time ago like I was meant to , maybe the days always seemed to drag because I was always wallowing in self pity , I wouldn't like to admit it but I did wallow I just didn't like others to see me suffering I hated it when I was constantly asked if I was ok and harassed to tell them what was wrong I always pushed their questions off telling them it was nothing putting on a false smile , the only time I smiled was when I had to and they were always false there was nothing that could bring me joy make my eyes light up as a wide grin brakes out across my face , I used to practice smiling I'd look into a mirror flashing a small smile trying to make them seem more genuine then they really were, there was just no reason to smile to laugh to be happy what was there to be happy about I was alone and a monster I winched every time I bit into the skin of animals as they uselessly struggled against my death grip that's what I call it when I held something , they always seemed to die to the name seemed to fit I had never been comfortable with who I was what I was what I did on several occasions I had wanted to die so badly that I remember putting a k knife to my unpenatrble skin an gasping in shock as the knife shattered as it met my skin , that was when I was a new born and I didn't fully understand the fullness of my power now that was different I understood my highly tuned hearing my sensitive noise and my amazing eye sight that lets me see all the different colours that are trapped within one colour which I was sure humans were oblivious to and my many other powers that I understood a lot less but I treasured a lot more I wouldn't have survived without them.
Bright flashing lights caught my attention and I realised that I was finally here my new home, for now at least my new start, my new school I thought sighing at the last part, repeating school over and over again listening to the teachers waffle on about things you know a million times over can get a bit boring, to be honest I don't know what makes me go to school I've had this feeling that it has some sort of connection with my human life that I just can't remember.
I drove through Idaho looking for the turn off into the forest that led to my house, it was beautiful the sun shone through the slight gaps at the top of the trees the rain dripping of the green leaves falling with a slight splash as it hit the ground.
I drove up my newly gravelled path up to the big black house surrounded by trees , i owned houses all over the country even a few in England and one in france, i never sold my houses knowing that once agin i would be in need of them this was my fith time in this house that was very well my favirote it was black on the outside but light and airy on the inside there were three rooms downstairs a large living room a huge kitchen that i had absolutely no need for and my faviorate room in the house other than the libary , the music room, i often think to myself wheter i bring the lonliness on my self living in such a huge house on my own, there was 3 floors my bedroom was on the very top along with the attic , the floor bellow was three guest rooms , my study , and another huge two bedrooms coverted into a libary stocked with all my faviourate books old and new.
I walked through my house running my house over the dust coverd white sheets that coverd the furniture sliding my hand to the edge of the sheet i pulled it off, tucking the dusty sheet under my arm i walked round the house stripping the sheets of the furniture. Walking through to the kitchen i dumped the sheets into the washer, well i guess it is of some use. I walked up stairs stripping the sheets from there and dumping them into the hamper after i was finished i went into the libary and picked up northanger abby of the shelve a jane Austin classic, i walked up the stairs lay down on my large bed and reread it for the what seemed like the hundredth time.
It was severn am by the time i got my head out off my book i put the book down on my bed sighing as i slid off my bed and went to get ready for school, i went to my closset realising as i opened the door that i had left my belonging in my car, i ran down the stairs at lightning speed running to get my clothes i got to my car as the wind shifted a sent i forever dreded wafted up my nose, i froze trying to recognize the sent, when i couldn't i ran back indide geting the little belongeings i had taken in the house with me and sped back outside slamming the car door behind me i sped of not knowing were i was going, then i saw them three vampires all with equally red eyes i stared into there eyes a memory at the back off my head trying to resurface, there was two males and a female with fiery red hair swaying in the breeze , they noticed me a small smirk appeareing on the face of the male with long greasy blonde hair pulled back into a tight pony tail as if he smelled something sweet, i preesed my foot down harder on the accelerator speeding put of their view.
I was miles away before i slowed my speed to afraid that if i slowed down they would be right behind me , not knowing who did this to me has made me bsuffer in the long run , constenly shying away from my own fleeing from any confrontation i was terrified of who i was and others like me.
I had no idea where i was going but i felt myself being drawn to a small town called forks that was sign posted so oftern , it was one of the very few places in the united states of America where i didn't actuly have a house, great i would have to stop at the housing office and get to know someone and seeing as this seems to be quite a small town she will no dout start asking unnecessary questions.
As i drove through the town i noticed that the place was unearthly green and wet very very wet, well atleast i can come out during the day here the sun is covered by a near constent cover of clouds, i drove past the housing office and had to do a double take, i got out off the car and walked into the office, the room was small and white there was a dark wood floor and an oak colouerd desk with a perky looking women sat at it smileing up at me she was wearin a light pink top and a black pencil skirt
''hello miss-'' she asked
''swan bella swan''
A confused look crossed her features then she was suddenly bemig agin as she said ''swan? Are you related to chief swan?''
A frown crossed my stone features as i asked ''who's he''
''what oh Charlie swan he is the chief of police here in forks''when i just gave her blank look she just said '' no well ok then-what can i do for you miss swan''
''i'd like to buy a house please'' i said putting one of my false smiles on.
''what were you looking at'' she asked in a polite voice
''something big enclosed by trees and not many neighbours if possible''
''so like the cullens'' she whispered to herself not meaning for me to hear i wonder who the cullens are.
She pulled a thin book out of her desk and opened it to the third page and showed me a beautiful house surrounded by trees and a pond slightly to the edge of the thick forest, the house its self was wonderfull, it has three storys like the one in idaho except this one was white it was exactly laid out like my other house except it already had a big ;libary and didn't need remodelling well that wont waste my much unneeded time i thought to myself.
''so sweetie what do you think of it''
''its perfect how much'' i said as reached into my bag and got out my cheque book, she told me how much it was , i wrote the check handing it over which she gladly excepted, she smiled as she welcomed me and said see you soon which i had no doubt i would , it was a small town and i was guaranteed to run into her now and again.
I walked out towards my car stareing at the now black clouds great i thought to myself a storm i followed the directions mrs newton (i later found out her name) gave me , i followed the road out of town like she instructed me and stoped when i came to two forks in the road one was the long drive that lad up to my house , the other must be my new neighbours who i guess are called the cullens from what Mrs. Newton whispered earlier. I drove to the second one i came to as advised by Mrs. Newton, it would take a human atleast five miniutes to get up the long driveway that led up to my house but only took me two with the speed i was going.
I slamed my car door shut ,this time making sure that i had all of my belongings with me as i walked towards the house. I turned the handle kicking the door open lightly with my foot not wanting to put it right through the door, just as she promised the house fully stocked with furniture/musical instalments/books/computers and all the necessities any human would need i put the few box's and three suitecases on the floor by the door and walked into an open roon with a piano, saxophone, classical instruments all of which i could play, i sat down at the piano running my fingers along the black and white key's, i'd not played in months i hadn't been in the mood to play but know i felt this suddern erge to run my fingers along the key's and play, i swong round fully faceing the piano and started to play, music sweeping from under my magical fingers (i laughed one of the volteri had once called them that and not just for my musical talents)wow i thought to myself i laughed i actuly laughed i hadn't done that in 75 years or when i did it was afake one but this, this one was genuine this place is messing with my mood...
