I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. IM JUST ONE AMONG THE MILLIONS WHO WISH I DO. XD
Chapter one
"Bella, it's time! Get yourself down here!" Renee called out to me.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming down now." I replied while half-pulling, half-dragging the heavy luggage down the wooden stairs.
After much jerking and battling, I finally admit defeat and called out to Renee softly, "Renee, do you mind giving me a hand, this thing is too heavy."
Before I could even blink, she was already in front of me, she took the luggage and threw it over her shoulder as if it was weightless. Well, at least to her, it weights nothing close to heavy. She gave me the I-told-you-so look and I rolled my eyes.
"Renee, we are not having this discussion now." I said firmly before she could even open her mouth to speak.
"Fine" she shrugged, cringing a little at my tone.
We walked wordlessly to the door and she loaded the luggage into her BMW. She turned to me and I shook my head and signalled for her to wait for a while. She sighed but went into the car while I stood there alone.
I stared at the gorgeous yet rustic cottage which I have stayed for three years. It was a rare estate property, seeing every house nowadays are so modern. Staring at the vines and trees surrounding the home that I am now leaving, a reluctant tear slide down my cheek. Shaking my head, I forced a smile at the cottage, ignoring the sad atmosphere around it.
As soon as I stepped into the car, Renee started it up without speaking. I reached forward for the radio station and calming music rushed into the small space we were in.
I turned to Renee, "Why must we go now?"
She did not reply me, instead, she focused her eyes on the road, even though the chances of us crashing is impossible.
"Renee?"
My mother sighed, "Because you need somewhere else, your time is up. And it is impossible to be in a place which reminds me of...him"
What?
"But – but how does the house remind you of him? Or rather, is it Paris? You said I could choose!" I was indignant, I had love Paris, why hasn't she?
Renee took a hand off the steering wheel and a wave of sadness came onto her face, the hurt and pain was so great that I regretted raising the topic almost immediately. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
My mother cut me off before I could finish, her voice was filled with regret and brokenness, "It is alright, it is not your fault, I was wrong. I shouldn't have – I shouldn't have left him. It is just, the house is similar to the one we used to stay in, it was rustic, countrified and peaceful. There was no trace of city, no trace of society, just the two of us. Don't you feel the same when we stayed there?"
I nodded.
We are now leaving Paris and head off to Forks, Washington. It is a small town, with a really microscopic population and is rainy. It was perfect for us, but I decide whether I like it or not. Not until I have seen it.
After alighting the plane after ten hours, I was yawning, tired from the ride. Renee made me wait for her while she went to fetch her car, which arrived later than us. We got onto the car and I put on my iPod and listened to classical music. Since it will be long before we reach our destination, I closed my eyes to take a nap.
Three hours later, Renee woke me up gently and I sat up, still groggy from sleep. I look out to the greenery around us and was greeted by the sign which reads, "Welcome to Forks, Washington"
As we pulled up in front of a mansion painted a shade of light blue, I could not help but notice how it stand out among the green trees around us. I looked pointedly at Renee and she admitted that she did spent a lot on the mansion so that we could be secluded from the others and would not stand out too much. I rolled my eyes, she definitely did a great job, but somehow I did really don't like it. The house is still grand, but at least it look alright. Renee told me that she is taking the whole first floor and the level upstairs is all mine, I grinned and thanked her.
Upstairs, I found a bathroom, a bedroom, a music room, and a library. Typical of Renee to try to make everything so extravagant.
She was in the living room, flipping through a magazine. She looked up at me and raised an eyebrow.
"So, do you like it?"
I shook my head and she laughed.
"Let me guess, you love it?"
Grinning, I gave her a cheeky reply, "What do you think?"
Renee laughed and shook her head, "And to think that you would grow up after so many years..."
Ignoring her comment, I told her that I am taking a walk in the forest around and she nodded. I followed the trail and took in the smell of the nature. Closing my eyes, I shifted and when I opened my eyes, the intense burning in my throat took me by surprise. I had really held back for too long. I closed my eyes again, only this time is to follow my senses. The scent of a mountain lion caught my attention and I was in front of the lion in a flash. Its eyes narrowed in fear at the sight of me before getting my message, it growled its consent and I smiled. Gently, I made a cut by its neck and it purred as I slowly drank the blood from its body.
After making sure that I have drunk enough, I stopped. My self-control has become much better over the year and I need little blood to survive. Using my healing powers, I healed the wound of the lion and it took off after acknowledging my gratitude. I wiped the blood from my lips and took in my surrounding before climbing up the tallest tree in the area quickly. The view was majestic, I was marvelling the view when the wave of nostalgia caught up with me. Closing my eyes, I began to sing:
I
see your face in my mind as I drive away Music starts playing And we know it's
never simple Never wanted this And
we know it's never simple It's 2 AM And we know it's never
simple Sorry, sorry
'Cause none of us
thought
It was gonna end that way
People are people
And
sometimes we change our minds
But it's killing me to see you
go
After all this time
Like the end
of a sad movie
It's the kind of ending
You don't really wanna
see
'Cause it's tragedy
And it'll only bring you down
Now I
don't know what to be
Without you around
Never easy
Never a clean break
No one here to
save me
You're the only thing I know
Like the back of my
hand
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe
without you
But I have to
Never wanna
see you hurt
Every little bump in the road
I tried to
swerve
But people are people
And sometimes it doesn't work
out
Nothing we say
Is gonna save us from the fallout
Never easy
Never a clean break
No
one here to save me
You're the only thing I know
Like the back
of my hand
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to
breathe without you
But I have to
Feeling like
I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy
Easy for
me
It's 2 AM
Feeling like I just lost a friend
Hope you know
this ain't easy
Easy for me
Never easy
Never a clean break
No one here to save
me, oh
I can't breathe without you
But I have to breathe
without you
But I have to
Breathe without you
But I have
to
Sorry, sorry
Sorry, sorry
Sorry
As I finished my song, I slowly wiped away the tears from my face. Jumping from the tree, I landed without a single sound onto the hard ground and switched back to my human mode. I am not a human, but a vampire. But my powers are beyond ordinary and it helped me a lot. Just then, I heard a rustle behind me and I spun around.
It was a vampire. The most beautiful vampire I had ever seen, among the many I had seen. He had He had strong features. Perfectly sculpted cheekbones and a strong jaw. His nose was in perfect proportion to his face and was perfectly straight. His hair was an odd shade of reddish brown. A colour that I supposed could only be described as bronze. But it was his eyes that caught my attention. It was topaz. He is a vegetarian.
But before I could even address him, he actually took off, at human speed. I was puzzled, why had he ran off? Then realization dawned upon me. I was in my human form, and he thought I had to get away from me. I shook my head and laughed, he looked around seventeen, at least I should be able to get to see him.
Soon.
To my previous readers: Sorry but I changed the chapter! I think I am going to change the whole story. As in my style of writing, of course, so thanks! Do review!
