Chapter 1

While soft winds brushing my face slowly, I can feel the end of the summer by the smell in the air. And now there I'm walking in those streets where my childhood passed a very long time ago, without knowing where i am heading or what i will be doing.

Maybe he is still there, at the same house where i left him 50 years ago. But well, that was a little chance, he would never stay at one place more than five years. Anyway somehow i was hoping to find him there. Remembering those green eyes and his velvet voice... I can still feel the thrill. Memories of my human life are not clear of course but as hardly as i can remember, i was feeling a bit scared and eager at the same time, when i first saw him, well don't forget the shyness. But how could i know that first sight would change my life for forever. My name is Isabella Marie Swan and yes, this is my story.

I was borned in London at the end of 19th century, as an only daughter of my small and lonely family. Those were really hard times, full of unrest, soldiers everywhere and possibility of war discussed at any doorstep. I was living with my father, since my mom died five years ago.

Maybe times were harder for people like us yet there were still high society parties held in the famous ballrooms of the city. Days were passing usual for me, very monotonous. I was taking care of the children of a rich family in the day time. But city was getting more colourfull by the time darkness fall down. Artist, poets and young people were fulfilling the every corner and my best friend Alice who was daughter of the family i worked with, was always eager to join these entertainments and as a matter of fact i was dragged by her into those parties.

That summer started as usual also, but differently from the previous ones, we had visitors this time. Young men were coming to talk my father about my possible marriage choices which i wasn't very pleased about. When it comes to Charlie, he only considered how i would last a comfortable and safe life if i get marry one of those guys, especially the rich ones. But if you ask me i was looking for a bit adventure at the age of seventeen, not a husband.

Just turned to 17 that summer and since 15 i knew, i had some kind of influence over men, knew i was taking attention when i walk into a place and feel all the looks over me. Women with jealousy and men staring longing. But to tell the truth in those times i wasn't aware of the benefits about using this advantage.

It was end of the August when I first saw him. Alic and i all dressed up in our best formal wears going out. I forgot to mention that Alice was always generous and giving me her clothes. Her family was one the most famous families of the town. And I was lucky having them close to me. They had always treated me like i was from the family. And that night we had gone to a stupid theme party again wearing a strapless vine colour dress, feeling a little bit uneasy knowing i was taking attention inside it. The party was boring as usual, very important people talking important subjects. What could I ask more? But they always say, careful what you wish for. And sometimes you have to be careful indeed.

All of a sudden, still don't know why, i felt the need to turn my head to see around while listening pointless Alice talking, and there i saw him in a second, talking to some noble men in a very confident manner while being watched by curious and admiring gazes of ladies all corners of the ball. I needed to know who he is, what he is doing here. Sure, I hadn't seen him before, I couldn't help to ask Alice:

"Do you know who the guy there is with reddish-brown hair and green eyes, speaking right now with Mr. Black?" still keeping to stare at him, completely ignoring annoying looks of Alice's friends.

She answered with a giggle in a quiet gossip tone."Ohh, he is a newcomer here honey, they say he is from aristocracy but i don't know i think he is too hot to be a cold aristocrat."

She kept laughing and i was getting nervous to know more about him. And I managed to grab her from arm and begged for more answers.

"Name, Alice!"

"Oh his name is Edward Cullen, son of the Cullens you know that famous medician family they travel from city to city for a few generations."

As my curiosity goes beyond edges and by the time Alice mentioned his name, he turned his head on the direction of our side and then fixed his green eyes on me. When i met with his gaze, I couldn't keep stare any longer and let my hair fell over my face trying to hide my blush unsuccessfully. And I knew, I had screwed. Could he hear us in that crowded noisy room? Anyway I knew I had to hide my red cheeks before getting more embarrassed. Of course I had some experiences with boys before, but nothing serious. As far as I could remember i could never take the relationships into next steps, but i am definitely sure that, I had never felt this kind of thrill for anyone at first sight till that evening...

After this embarrassing stare, I rushed in cautious manners to the balcony in order to get some air and escape from Alice giggles. Then a few minutes later, a deep voice came behind me:

"Do I know you?"

I turned my body slowly towards the direction of voice, and then our eyes met again with a little difference this time we were indeed really close. Feeling his gaze over me:

"I don't know actually, it depends the time" I said at once in a whisper tone, that was all i could say.

While i was struggling with my thoughts about what i just said, to my surprise he was half-smiling to me now and heard my murmur speech. I had the chance to examine him more. He was tall and paler than most of the people I saw, His eyes when you look closer were darker, without knowing that those eyes were thirsting for my blood, well at least not yet, I was totally lost in them. His hairs were in his ears and partly on his eyebrows were waving with wind. Then with a childish smirk on his face, he made it clear:

"Well, i have the time like you can't imagine, but how about you? Will you have enough time to get to know me?"

Totally being astonished i was trying to put his words in order, to be able to make a sense. Did he really care about to see me again? That was so fast. I was beautiful maybe but still a babysitter and couldn't compete with those kind of rich noble girls. He was too much for me. Then without I could have a chance to say a word he brushed my hair with his cold fingers that made me shudder when I felt the touch.

"You are going to get cold here, it will rain." He said in a comforting manner.

My whole body was stuck right there at that moment with his touch, feeling shiver and that electricity passing through my whole body. I felt in his eyes he felt the same. Had he no idea what he was doing to me? I still don't know how I managed to speak there but at that second i had made my mind and probably my fate had diverged into a totally different path for good:

"I really would like to know you better, Mr. Cullen."

Then he smiled to my reply and took one step towards me with eyes staring now brighter:

"Do you know that, I have seen so many things in my life, so many faces... but nothing like you before?"

Dazzled by those words i was totally unable to move, feeling his breath closer now, I felt like I was ready to anything that will come from this mysterious angel. But all in a sudden we were interrupted by Alice's unpleasant voice, at least at that time I found it irritating and even wanted to kill Alice for interrupting.

"Bella! I looked for you everywhere? What are you doing here? C'mon, we need to go the car is waiting..." After skimming the scene between me and Edward she took a few steps back and made her excuse "ups. Oh, sorry if I interrupted." Feeling embarrassed by Edward's accusing looks, she was about to apologize almost. But yes, she is Alice, she never give up.

Taking my hand, she smiled to Edward a while waiting for his reaction. His face was now hard to read and stiffening his body, he gestured a smile to Alice. Then turned to me and said:

"So your name is Bella... I'm sure we'll meet again Bella. he finished turning to Alice.

"Take care of her."

All she could do was a weird nod and I, still feeling numb, let Alice take the control. She hold my hand and in a manner of speaking dragged me to exit. On the way back home, her non-stop voice and questions were just a meaningless melody at my ears. As a response I was nodding my head in every 5 minutes. But indeed my head was too busy dealing with Edward Cullen and the way he looked behind me when I was leaving. I couldn't notice that those eyes were looking darker at that time full of lust which still I can't figure out, if it was blood or some other kind.

He never told me.
