AN: Hey everybody. I've been waiting a while to start posting this story, and I think I have enough chapters written that there won't be too long of a wait between updates. I read Breaking Dawn. My thoughts… not one of Stephenie's best works. And I was soooo looking forward to it. :( Oh well. Here's the first chapter of One Minute of Heaven.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea.
Chapter 1: A Living Hell
17 years of hell. That was the only way my life could be described. I was nothing but a mistake. I was unwanted by my own kind.
Before I confuse you all thoroughly, I should probably tell you what and who I am. My name is Isabella Marie Swan. I am ½ demon, ¼ werewolf, and ¼ human.
My mother's name was Renee. She was 100 demon. My father's name was Charlie. He obviously gave me the werewolf and human genes.
Anyways… demons isolate themselves from everyone and live in secluded area's that nobody will ever find. My mother rebelled against the older demons and ran away from the settlement where she lived. By the time they were able to find her about a year later, my mother was with Charlie. The sight that everyone saw?
A man that was obviously a werewolf, my mother who had run astray, and me in my mother's arms.
The demon who was supposed to be my mother's mate, Phil, was furious. He killed my father and he would have killed me too if my mother had not pleaded for my life. In exchange, she had to be his mate and do whatever he told her to.
When I was only a year old, I was taken away from my mother by the demon elders who controlled the settlement. They placed me in a new family that was destined to eventually run the place. Their names were Brad and Kelsey. They had a son that was slightly older than me and wasn't a 'mutt', as they had come to call me. They had high expectations for Vince.
When he turned 5, his personality changed drastically. He was cruel and would always find mean and cruel things to do when his parents weren't around. As we grew older, his parents learned of this abuse but did nothing to stop it.
When I turned 16, I was taken from this cruel family and was placed in an isolated room. I was now more of a curiosity. They wondered what side of me would prevail; werewolf or demon.
They constantly egged me on. All that they cared about was which side of me was the strongest. I was horribly abused until I finally snapped in the summer of 2004. I was 16 going on 17 and I had finally had enough. I exploded into my demon form.
Now, you are probably wondering what a demon looks like. In demon form, my eyes would turn a strange purple color. There isn't much of a difference between the appearance of a human and a demon, but you change physically. You become much stronger and faster; as strong and fast as a vampire. Your skin also lightens a few shades.
There were other slight changes that aren't worth mentioning. Now that they knew that my demon side was dominant, they left me alone. I now knew what I had to do; I had to escape this living hell.
My chance came shortly after my birthday that September. The other demons were wondering what to do with me now that I was almost an adult. When I heard that they were considering pairing me with another demon, I knew I had to leave.
Now, in the short time between the day my demon form showed up and my birthday, I had discovered that I could also morph into a werewolf. Since I was isolated from all of the others at the settlement, nobody knew. I just had to visit my mother first, and it would have to be tonight.
