Chapter 1
Epov
I was staring out the window, looking at the forest, surrounding my house over and over again. The same boring, green trees. Guardians, storytellers of the little city Forks.
But after two years, there was nothing left for me to discover here. There was not so much to learn about this little village. To be completely honest, it was pretty boring.
Yet, it was the perfect place for us to stay. Forks was known as a place where the sun almost never shine. So, in this little town, we could live almost as normal people.
As vampires, we didn't have an easy life. Trying to live like normal citizens, controlling our thirst, keeping a low profile. I'm telling you, living a cursed life wasn't what I wished for.
But lately, I felt so strange, like there was something missing in my life. And I had a little suspicion what the hole in my chest meant.
I was surrounded with happiness, joy and above all things love. Carlisle and Esme, Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. All of them were still head over heels, even after so many years. Three perfect couples living under the same roof as me.
But I was after 108 years still single. I searched everywhere around the world, looking for a girl that could take my breath away, create butterflies in my stomach, let everything else in de world disappear when she was with me. Someone who was worth living for.
But no one could capture my silent, frozen heart. Nobody gave me the feeling of "I'll do anything for you".
They were all the same. Little dolls that only thought about their appearances and that the world was theirs. And one girl was more determent to seduce me than the other. Some girls just don't understand the word 'no'. It took me years to convince Tanya that I wasn't interested in her. Her methods, they still gave me the creeps.
"Edward! Oh, Edward!" I heard outside my door.
Alice, my little baby sister, came bounding thought my door. Like usually there was a big smile painted on her petite face. Alice was truly the most enthusiastic person I ever met. It was almost impossible that such a little pixie could contain so much energy. Sometimes I wondered how Jasper could manage living with her.
"You are over thinking again. If you weren't a vampire, you would definitely have wrinkles. "
"Luckily, I am a vampire. About what was I thinking this time?"
"How should I know! You're the one who can read minds." She was always such a smartass.
"For what purpose do I own this pleasure, your highness?"
"The guys, Rosalie and I are going to hunt tonight. Emmett has a big appetite for grizzly and he doesn't want to wait anymore. I was just wondering if you would join us."
I signed. I wasn't really in the mood for a hunting trip. I went hunting just a couple of days ago. But I knew that Alice wanted me to come and she would eventually find an excuse to get me out of the house. She was even capable of messing around with my music collection. So what was the point in arguing?
"Come on. It's going to be so much fun." Alive said. But her mind gave me another message.
"You know I will find a way. You can't escape me, brother."
I laughed at her playful treat. Especially with those pleading eyes of hers, it was hilarious. Nobody could resist her when she looked at you like a beating puppy.
"Stop looking at me like that. Like you don't already know my answer."
She squealed in delight, made a little happy dance and yelled: "I told you he would go, Jasper! Don't you ever doubt me again! "
Downstairs a chuckle was heard.
She gave me a hug and left my room. 'Oh, this going to be so much fun.'
...
We were running though the woods, somewhere around the Canadian border. Emmett and Rosalie had already separated from us as Emm had discovered the scent of a bear. When that guy was hungry, you better stayed out of his way.
Alice and Jasper were running ahead of me, hands intertwined. It made me a bit uncomfortable, seeing them so in love. But I wasn't jealous, far from it. I was happy for them. They made the perfect couple and I was content that Alice had found Jasper.
But I kept my distance, not wanting to disturb their little bubble of love.
Instead of following them to the north, I went west. I wasn't really hungry but maybe an elk would do me good. I ran thought the forest, passing green colored trees, blue streams, leafs falling down slowly by the fresh fall wind.
I loved running. It gave me a sort feeling of freedom. A way to lose all the energy that I had to hold back. During the day, we had to act like normal people and contain our vampire speed and strength. So we needed a sort of relief otherwise we would combust.
It also kept my mind off of things. It was the easiest way for me to block the voices inside my head. Because every now and then, it really was a pain in the ass. I could hear every thought of every person around me. And sometimes there were thoughts that weren't meant for me to hear. It really was embarrassing at times. But I learned to live with it.
Suddenly I heard a strange noise not so far from me. I slowed down my pass and concentrated on the noise. It sounded like crying, a person crying. But I didn't smell a human for miles. It didn't make any sense. Carefully I made my way to the source of the sound.
A few miles away, I found my person.
It was a girl, all curled up against a tree. She sobbed terribly, crying her heart out. I couldn't see her face as it was hidden under her arms. The only thing that I could detect was that she had long, brown hair and that her clothes were a total mess. She was completely covered in mud and her trousers and shirt were ripped.
Alice would call it a disaster.
I started to approach her, very slowly. I didn't want to startle her. She looked so delicate, so beaten up. Like she had been though something terrible.
Carefully I stretched my hand out and whispered: "Excuse miss, can I…"
That was all I could manage to say. Suddenly her whole body stiffened, her head fell back and she started screaming uncontrollably.
So, this was my first chapter. I hope you liked it.
Please review. It would help me so much.
