Chapter One: My Story
The temptation to run is an easy one to follow, the temptation to stat is what is hard. I feel their eyes all on me as I walk into my new high school, the smaill town never has any new students it appears. To understand why I hate the attention you must first understand my story. It is mot a hapy one but it is one that I have come to live with.
A little over 100 years ago my mother, Renee, remarried. Her husband Phil is not a bad guy just a little young for her, he is also a minor league baseball player so he must travel a lot with his job. I could see how much it tore my mother apart when she had to be separated from him so I told her to leave, I would be fine by myself when ever he had to take the little trips.
One night I decided to talk a walk, I needed to clear my head after I told my mom the news that I believed that she should go on the road with Phil, I would not hold her back any longer. As I started to walk that night. I kept feeling like someone was walking behind me, but as I turned around there would be no one there. I'm just nervous, I thought to myself.
As I continued to walk back to my house I passed by a car parked on the road, that is when I first saw them. Everything about them told me that I needed to run in fear but at the same time. I couldn't bring myself to run. I knew that I would never make it back to my family, they would all miss me terribly. As I passed by the little park on my way home that is when they decided to attack.
"No, she's mine." One of them yelled. Then the pain came. He bit me, I remember thinking over and over in my head. The pain slowly started to spread through my whole body. The two of them kept fighting till they rememberd that I was laying there. "It's too late, her blood is now tainted."
What? What do you mean my blood is tainted? I kept screaming in my head. I could not bring the words to be said in the open.
"We are responsible for her now, at least to tell her the rules, then she can be on her own but if we create her and them just release her out in the open then the Volturi will come after us as well if she messes up." said the same voice again.
"No, I won't stay, this is your responsibility, you are the one who started the fight with me after she had already been bitten." said the other man as he walked away.
"Sorry miss about my friend's rude behavior, as soon as the burning stops I will explain everything to you that you need to know." He said in a soothing voice.
Three days later, or so they tell me, the fire stopped and so did my heart. I couldn't believe it, I should be dead, I had no heartbeat nor did I have a need to breathe air anymore, but it was more painful not than anything not to.
"Welcome to our world, my name is Laurent, and I am one of your creators, before I leave I need to explain to you what you are and the rules that follow through with it." He paused looking deep into my eyes again. "First tell me what your name is."
"Isabella Marie Swan, but everyone calls me Bella."
"It's nice to meet you Bella." Another pause. "Okay I guess that the easiest thing to do is start from the beginning. You are a vampire now Bella, you will notice that you have a different kind of hunger in you. It's the thirst for blood, just follow your instincts and they will tell you exactly how to hunt.
"Finally, there are some rules that you must follow, I know that this is a lot to take in at first but they are easy enough to understand. There is one very important rule that is to keep the secret, we can not let humans know what we are. There are vampires that set the rules called the Volturi, they are located in Italy, and they will be the ones who will come after you if you break any of their rules…." He continued to tell me the rules and then he was gone.
I didn't want to hunt people, I was always so worried that it would be someone that I had known in my previous life so I ran into the woods. I thought that if I just kept away from the temptation that eventually the thirst that I was feeling will just finally kill me. I didn't want this life so I tried to figure out ways that I could kill myself.
I could just walk into the sun, I thought to myself. I remembered reading about vampires and they all say that if they are out in the sun they will burst into flames and die. As I got closer to the sun I began to regret that I was giving up so easily, but I kept going. When I got to the edge of the darkness I just stuck my hand out in the sunlight and watched to see what was going to happen, but my hand did not catch on fire instead it sparkled like there were a million crystals all over my skin. There goes that idea, I laughed to myself.
The thirst was getting worse and I didn't know how much longer I could go. I knew that soon, I would crack and hurt someone, and that is something that I feared. I kept walking towards the north, I knew that there were more forests and in some areas less sunny days. As I walked along one day I came across a herd of deer. My thirst was unmanageable at this point and I could no longer hold on, I attacked the deer without even giving it a second though. This did not taste quite right but it satisfied the thirst and helped me realize that I did not truly have to be a monster.
That was about 100 years ago. Since then I have gotten great strength over my control. I have traveled a bit and worked some, now I am finally ready to settle down and live like a person again and not a monster. That's how I wound up here in Forks, located in Washington was supposed to be the wettest place in the North and had very few sunny days. This would make it where I should not have to worry about hiding inside all the time, I could have interaction with people again, at least for the time being. The easiest way to start is to start in high school.
So now we have some around full circle do you understand why I hate to be the center of attention? No , I guess that I still haven't explained that part very well. I have explained I am a vampire and how I got to this point. The reason that I hate attention is simple I'm just not used to it. When I was human I was a very ordinary girl that no one even looked at twice, now that I am a vampire all the human guys want my attention, and the girls are all so jealous of my beauty. When you become a vampire you get beauty, strength, speed, and smell that draws humans in so for me the attention just reminds me of what I am.
