Edward's Story

I lay on the bed motionless and burning. I knew the Spanish Influenza would get the best of me. I thought about my father, Edward Masen Senior, who was partially me. He had died when the first wave of the Spanish Influenza. But I wasn't going to give up.

I knew this is my last hour.

I heard a faint, strong voice. "Save him, now!"

"I'll try my best." An unfamiliar voice replied.

There was a long pause and then very faint footstep approaching me and then fire. I was thrashing helplessly. There was a ripping sound, a freezing hand on my body. The fire was endlessly frightening. Then there was nothing but black.

Fight it! I chanted in my head. My entire wasn't on fire anymore. But my throat, the burning desire for something to eat.

I opened my eyes and the blonde man introduced himself.

"I'm Carlisle Cullen."

I nodded and he looked in horror at my red eyes.

I was a vampire. I killed so many people, I was a murder. A helpless murder.

I couldn't help myself so I ran back to Carlisle, the man who transformed me to save my life. I was surprised he wasn't alone. Beside him a bronze hair woman stood her eyes a perfect gold.

"Ah Edward, my boy." Carlisle greeted.

"Hello Edward, Carlisle has told me about you." The woman said and smiled at me.

"Oh you're a vampire?" I asked as I read the woman's mind. She nodded and smiled at me.

"Carlisle, I'm having trouble not killing anyone." I explained.

The woman nodded and thought her name.

"How did you do it Esme?" I asked.

She shrugged and smiled at me.

"Be my adoptive son." Carlisle offered.

I nodded and smiled and embraced them both.

"We found this beautiful woman, like how dashing you are." Carlisle said. It was many years after I had been a vampire.

There was a blonde red-eyed girl with hopeful eyes.

"So are you going to mate or not?" Carlisle asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry but I think it would better if we were just brother and sister." I said and nodded.

"I'm going to appreciate your wish… To the bronze guy." The blonde girl said and smiled.

"It's Edward, thank you Rosalie." I said and smiled.

Now I am deeply in love with Bella Swan, my one and only love.
