Isabella Hale

I looked in the mirror as I pulled my blond hair back from my face. I smiled at my reflection. Gorgeous. That's why me and Royce are perfect.

I'm Isabella Hale, the youngest child of two to Lillian and Robert Hale. I am 17 years old and have an older brother. Thomas is 25 and lives with me, mother and father. He works at my fiancées bank with Father and is doing well. He is highly respected. But that's probably because his younger sister is marrying the owner.

I slip on my heels and walk downstairs. My parents take my beauty for advantage and have made me into society's most shallow and vain girl. But I haven't always been like this. I used to be the little innocent girl that would never get in trouble.

I met Mother at the front door and we walked to the weekly market.

The biggest gossip in Rochester is the new family. Apparently there was a new doctor in town and his wife and her brother. They were also to be more beautiful than me. Whatever.

As we walk down the street and Mother talks about Father's new promotion, three people walk the opposite direction of us.

The person at the front was the new doctor. He had pale skin and beautiful golden eyes. He had blond hair and his features were perfect. Holding his arm was a beautiful woman with caramel hair to her shoulders. She had pale skin and the same beautiful golden eyes.

Then behind them was a God. He had dishevelled Bronze coloured hair with the most gorgeous face. He had the same pale skin and Golden eyes but were hard to see as he was staring at the floor. They were beautiful. Even more so than me. My mother noticed my distraction and froze at their undeniably beauty. She held her head in the air and grabbed my arm pulling me forward. She was going to show me off. She did this often. But how am I to compare to them.

"Hello." My mother says grabbing their attention. I stand behind her feeling slightly self conscious. So this is what the girls from school feel like when I walk by. "I am Lillian Hale and I just wanted to welcome you to Rochester." She says. I bet she was hoping to get gossip before anyone else does.

"Thank you. I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife Esme. This is her brother Edward Masen." He says pointing to the man who was still looking at the floor. "Who is this behind you?" He asks politely. I take a deep breath and walk to my mother's side. Their eyes widen and they stare. I was used to this reaction.

"I am Isabella Hale." I say confidently. At my name Edward's head lifts up and our eyes meet. The connection was intense. Nothing like me and Royce has. It was different.

He smiles slightly whilst my mother excuses us. "It was nice to meet you." I say. They nod and bid goodbye as we walk in the opposite direction. I turn around and find Edward Masen still staring at me. And for the first time, a light blush covers my cheeks.

Edward Masen

I am grateful that Carlisle saved my life. But I have nothing to live for. I wish I had a person to go to like Carlisle did with Esme. But it will never happen.

We had moved to Rochester now that Esme's newborn period was over. The thoughts were the same. Yet different. They were comparing us to Isabella Hale. She was apparently the most perfect girl in Rochester and was engaged to the prestigious Royce King.

She was to be the shallowest girl yet she used to be selfless and caring as a young girl. Apparently the wedding was to be the biggest in history and everyone was invited.

Carlisle and Esme were walking in front of me with their arms linked and were quietly talking. I was just walking behind them with my head down, hoping to block out the unwanted thoughts.

They're beautiful. Maybe more than Bella. Of course not. Maybe I should show them what beauty is. A woman's thoughts broke through my carefully structured shield. Carlisle and Esme stop and listen politely. They really were good people.

"Hello." The woman says to us. "I am Lillian Hale and I just wanted to welcome you to Rochester."

Carlisle and Esme introduced us whilst I read the thoughts of the girl behind her.

I bet she's hoping to get gossip before anyone else does. Her inner voice was so musical. I could've mistaken it for a vampire's.

"Who is this behind you?" Carlisle asks feeling curious. Esme was too.

Maybe she's just shy. We have just met after all. She really was caring and loving to everyone. Even those she hasn't met. After all her gift was great love.

"I'm Isabella Hale." The girl's musical voice says again, though out loud this time. Carlisle and Esme's thoughts were full of shock. So this was the girl who was the most perfect girl in Rochester.

This girl outshines some of the vampires I've met. Carlisle's thoughts were comparing the girl with previous vampire's he has met.

Wow. I couldn't even imagine her as a vampire. Her beauty is more than a vampire as a human. Esme's thoughts were full of admiration towards the young human. With that I look up.

There stood a Goddess. With perfect golden blond hair pulled back in a bun. Her skin was creamy and she had a perfect figure. Her face looked like an Angel's and did beat a vampires beauty. She could beat anyone. But her eyes. They were so deep and expressive that I could look into them all day. They were a beautiful cobalt blue and they held my captivated stare.

She stares back and her thoughts run through my head.

The connection was intense. Nothing like me and Royce has. It was different. I smile slightly. Then I stop.

I've mated. When vampires meet their mates they know instantly.

My mate is Isabella Hale and she is engaged. To Royce King. She and her Mother walk away and they carry on to the Market. I stare at the retreating figures and then she turns around. Her eyes connect with mine once again and I smile. She turns around and I swear I could have seen a blush cover those beautiful cheeks of hers.

Carlisle and Esme's concerned thoughts fill me. I forgot I was just stood here watching her. I turn around and smile. They smile back, wondering what has lifted my mood. They knew then. They look at me and then to Isabella and then back to me. I nod looking down to the floor. They were happy. Happy that I have mated. But then they realise. She will be getting married. To someone other than me. The man who loves her more than his own life.
