Chapter one My Daughter

Carlisle POV

"Mr Cullen, Sir. I am very sorry but your wife didn't make it. The baby is fine though, you have a beautiful daughter" The doctor said giving me a sad smile as he let me into the room where my wife lay motionless.

My wife, Anna, gone- t cannot be true.

Her brown hair in loose curls by her sides which was the same colour as her eyes which where long gone behind her closed lids never to open again. I will miss the milky brown eyes boring into mine.

I bent low over her body and kissed her forehead lightly, her skin turning colder and colder when the minutes ticked by. Then a cry, a soft cry from the wooden crib in the corner.

I walked slowly over to my daughter and pulled her into my arms.

She was very beautiful, just like her mother. Her eyes the ones I thought I would never see again, the kind milky brown, her skin a perfect ivory with a pink tinge on her cheeks. I could defiantly tell my resemblance in me and her, she had my face shape, my cheekbones, she was my daughter.

Ann and I had already decided on the names if it was a boy or girl if a boy, Henry Carlisle Cullen or a girl Isabella Anna-Marie Cullen.

Isabella Anna-Marie Cullen - my daughter.

That moment on I promised to her I would protect her from anything she was my number one person in the whole wide world and I would never forget that.

"Daddy!Daddy! Look what I made you!" Isabella shouted skipping in our garden towards me as I sat on the swing at the end of it she looking miniature more beautiful version of my Anna. Isabella stoped in front of my holding out a daisy chain smiling up at me flashing her white baby teeth as her brown locks of hair shown red in light, just like Anna's.

"Bella, Thank you. I love it" I said picking her up putting her on my lap tickling her as she squealed and kicked giggling loudly making me chuckle.

"I love you Daddy" she said putting her head on my chest as I swung her back and forth.

"I love you too Bella. You are my number one girl remember that"

6 years later

"Happy Birthday too you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Isabella! Happy birthday to you!" We all sang as Bella stood on the chair to blow out all her candles on her 10th birthday cake.

Isabella was looking more and more like Anna by the minute, she was maturing, growing – blossoming. I couldn't ask for a more perfect daughter in the world she means every thing to me.

People would ask how I mange to teach Bella lady things like manners, marriage, children but Isabella was never any trouble or discomfort.

I loved her very much.

5 months later

Bella was clinging hard onto me unwilling to let me go as we stood at her grandfathers house or Anna's parents.

"No Daddy! Don't go! You could get killed by those monsters!" she cried tears falling down her cheek rapidly.

"Isabella sweetheart, look at me" I knelt down to her height taking in her upset face, it hurt me seeing her like this but I had to go, it is what my father wishes. I put a finger on her chin lifting it up to make her look at me. "Don't you worry about me. I will be fine and I will see you again" I promised kissing her forehead.

"You Promise?" she mumbled crossing her arms across her chest.

"Cross my heart and hope to die" doing the actions across my heart. She smiled.

"Well OK then" she hugged me goodbye then went to sit with her grandparents in the living room.

Hours later

I was in a alley way the man with gleaming black-red eyes staring into mine. He was the hunter I was his prey. The man chuckled a low menacing chuckle then lunged on my biting me in the neck, smashing me agent the wall. The burning was like he had set me on fire, what had he done to me?

All I could think as the burning pain ran from my neck to the rest of my body was my daughter, my dearest loveliest daughter Isabella Anna-Marie Swan. The daughter I would never see again. Her laugh, her smile, the way she makes everyone feel better around her, her sense of humour, her beautiful face.

It felt like hours had past maybe even weeks when the burning began to fade, my surroundings began to become clear.

I opened my eyes, I was alive. I was still in the alley way where I last remember but the man was no where to be seen.

I stood up clasping my neck when I felt the burning in my throat. I was thirsty. Then I saw it, I wanted it so badly. A woman was walking by casually, her hair our of her neck. I could see her pulse thumping, her blood flowing throw her. Before I knew it was pulling her into the alley way lunging at her sucking every last drop of blood she had in her.

I was a monster.

I had become that I had been hunting for more than 10 years. I was a vampire. What about Bella, I couldn't do what I just did to this innocent woman who lay limp in my hands not moving, nothing left of her. I had to run, what would Isabella think of me? I could image her terrified face when I lunged at her ready to kill her.

I ran out of the city of London and started my journey of a painful eternity as a monster
