Okay so this is my first fanfiction, so I ask that you not completely tear me down, constructive criticism is of course welcome though.
Summary: This story is mostly a flashback to pre-twilight times, however there are some between eclipse and breaking dawn moments.... it's mostly Edward recalling the time when he left Carlisle and Esme, before telling the story to Bella.
Disclaimer: I (as much as I would like to) do not in any way, shape, or form, own twilight or any of it's wonderful characters, I simply take what the amazing Stephenie Meyer writes and warp it/throw in random stuff.
Chapter one: How it Started
"Edward, I seriously think it may be time for you to discuss your past with Bella, you know, in detail." Alice had been nagging me for the past four hours and quite frankly I was at my wit's end. As if it wasn't bad enough that Bella had gone to Seattle for the weekend with Esme, dealing with Alice just annoyed me even more.
"Yes, Alice I understand I'm just not sure that —" She cut me off before I could rebut.
"No! Shut up! You will tell her the second she gets back from Seattle! I've had it with you telling me that she doesn't really need to know every little detail about it, or that it's not important! It is important! Okay?! So if you don't tell her I will, and it will not be pretty. That much I can promise you, because you and I both know that I'm a little fuzzy on some, well a lot, of the details and I will fill in those fuzzy gaps with anything that could fit. Besides if you don't tell her I feel like it'll seriously damage your relationship should she ever find out on her own." I was completely shocked when Alice finished her rant. I had never seen her so furious about something, honestly it was a little frightening.
I knew she was right I just didn't know how to tell my fiancée about what had happened. What if Bella decided it was too much for her to handle and she decided that she wasn't sure she wanted us to get married anymore? She was already on the fence with this wedding Alice was planning. I suppose I was afraid of telling Bella the whole truth, no one actually knew the whole truth not even Carlisle. "I'll tell her tomorrow, I promise."
"Good." Alice looked slightly taken aback, her previous bravado gone, as if she hadn't expected me to ever give in. "Well then I'll go now." Alice stood up and walked out of my room, leaving me to recall my wretched past and figure out the best way to explain all of it to Bella when she returned, tomorrow...
..............................flashback..................................
"Esme, Carlisle, I'm going out for a bit." I was tired of just sitting indoors.
"Sure Edward, just be safe." Esme really was like a mother, she often reminded me of mine.
"I will." I replied with a small smile.
Once I was out I felt like I could breathe again, not that I had to. However lately I had felt slightly restless simply sitting through classes and at the house. I just wanted to find something more interesting to do with my time. I wandered aimlessly around the streets. I ended up at the local park. I sat on the ground to just listen to the echoes of the night, and then I lay back on the ground and closed my eyes. When constantly surrounded by people one forgets how quiet the night can be. However, it wasn't quiet for long I heard someone approaching the edge of the park, still a ways off but near enough for me to hear.
'Damned humans always sticking their noses where they don't belong!'
It was a female, she was one of my kind, but she was different from us. I sat up and moved to a near by bench. She heard me move and looked directly at me, her eyes a bright crimson.
Okay so the flashback may be a little OOC as far as Edward is concerned but just please bear in mind that this is way before he meets Bella.
