It was 1918. I was human, 17, and dieing of the Spanish influenza. My doctor, Carisle Cullen, looked me in the eyes as my beathing became the weakest of weak and i could literally see my life flash
before my eyes like a bullet, yet i strangley remember seeing every detail as if it were all in slow motion. going, going, going, until it was gone. Leaving me with a pain so great i could scream.
And i did scream. Loud and non-ceasing for what felt like years, but in reality had only been 3 days in my un knowing transformation from weak human to indestructible vampire. Just remembering the pain.
to suffer for days made me cringe, yet in some ways i was glad i could remember that, in fact, it had all been real. That even now, 110 years later i can walk this Earth with the same type of body i did in
1918, only stronger. Currently living in the wettest place in the continetal U.S , Forks Washington.
Ch. 1 Bellas Point of View .
In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington, a small town named Forks exist under a near-constant cover of clouds and rain. It was this gloomy, omnipresent shade and town that i met my sun.
A boy named Edward Cullen. When i met him at first i was sure that he was someone i wouldnt let go. Couldnt let go. He looked at me as if i had been a personal demon or something, then he covered his
nose as if i had such a foul scent he couldnt even sit right in his chair. I watched behind my curtain of brown waved as he gripped the edge of our table so tight pieces of wood actually came off and he,
amazingly , didnt have them within seconds, like nothing at all had happened. Because no one noticed thing about Edward Cullen like i did. I wanted to ask him a million questions that day, and a million
would have been asked had i not been so freaked out by his demeanor towards me. I wondered for the days when he was absent from my life, all though 'my life' meant me seeing him at school, where
and when he would be bad for me. Then i remember he most likley left becauseof me. That thought put a lump in my throat so big i thought i would choke. So i decided to gather all my possible courage for
the rest of my life ... and go to his house! When i turned down that dirt road all i had expected was a small house just like everyone elses in Forks ... boy oh boy did i get the least of what i expected.
Edwards place was... Beautiful! The house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories tall, rectangular and very well porportioned.
The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or just a perfect restoration. It definatley had a certain charm about it though. * Knock knock knock * I had barley finished knocking when
who i was assuming to be Edwards sister, Alice, had opened the door. I looked at her beauty and felt my face crumple in what must have been defeat. I had gotten my bestclothes and Alice beat me by a
Long shot. Alice must have seen my expression change because in an instant she asked me what was wrong, but i just shook my head and told her that i was looking for Edward, i needed to talk with him
and that i was worried about him i boldly admited and felt my face turn hot and probably beet red. Then i came up with an excuse that i had planned on useing in case i made a complete ass of myself,
kinda like i just did. I reached into my bag and grabbed out four stacks of failry thick homework projects Edward had missed. ALice took the homework and smiled at me, i blinked at her dazziling smile but
as soon as i opened my eyes she wasnt there. I was utterly confused. Then almost as if i was in a trance i walked into the Cullens home, never invited, never asked to come in... but the feeling of
acceptance was undeniable. they love me i thought to myself. i saw Alice looking far away, gazing into some un known place that i would say is better for me to stay away from, A moment or two later
Alices eyes cleared and and she looked at me as if i were a stanger... i felt my cheeks go red and betray my embarrassment. I decided it was time to go and turned around, then not even a fraction of a
second later a freezing cold hand gripped my arm so tight i thought circulation had been cut off instantly. I Yelped and jerked my arm but it didnt come free, then Alice let go as if i had burned her and
openly appoligized for that, Then she shook her head almost to herself, i laughed at that and cursed myself for being so... normal. I grimaced and Alice told me to stay and meet everyone because i was
family now. My nerves went threw the roof and i was on high alert... then almost as fast as my emotions went up some feeling swept over me and i couldnt feel much except... butterflies. The first Cullen i
met was what seemed to be a human bear, Emmett Cullen, big as a bear and tall as a skyscraper and had a face like a baby, yet some how manly. perfect. The next one i met was a medium height with
hair the color of honey, he had a texian kind of accent and i assumed he was with Alice the way his gold eyes watched her. He, too, was perfect. The next was a small, motherly looking type of woman with
eyes so gold they almost like they were actually solid gold, the way she carried herself made me instantly aware of my bad posture and lack of manners. i straightened myself and thought she must be
Cullen. Perfect. Right after came a girl so gorgous i thought she resembled beauty herself. She was tall and lean with long legs and hair so blonde it was almost white, She had
piercing eyes of black and she sneered at me before she sashayed off, never even bothering to make a gesture of welcome. perfect. i thought, and last but not least was the founder of such wonderful
kids, Doctor Carisle Cullen. The palest of them all but the most calming and poised. He smiled warmly welcomed me to the family. I said my thanks and turned to my pixie like friend, Alice, and smiled. She
looked at the family and said, " Well you know humans, Carlisle, She must get to see the rest of the house to feed her suspion." Now, not only was i utterly complexed as to why Alice had referred to me
as a humanwhen she could have simply said Bella, i mean, after all, she was human to. Wasnt she? Thats when it hit me. The coldness, the paleness, the ever changing eyes, the impossible perfection.
Everything had hit me hard and literally made me stagger back as if i had just been gut-punched. The Cullens were definatley not human... but the question now is what were they if not human? I panicked
at the thought of beeing what ever it is this family was and i ran out. Like literally ran. Alice was faster though. She didnt touch me, but her glare is what stopped me. if looks could kill suddenly ran
through my panicked mind and i moved to the right just as Alice did a second before, then i dripped to the left and again Alice was there. I sighed and finally tried to push through her and when i did i, for a
second, thought i had been clumsy and fell onto the cold stone on their drive way, but i look and relized that cold stone was... ALICE ?" Alice! LET ME THROUGH," i screamed and she piveted to the left
then i jumped forward and ran to my old truck, speeding away. The Cullens we SO NOT humans and as soon as i found out what they were i would talk to them about it. I knew i couldnt expose them and i
knew because whatever they were... Edward was.
Two days later i heard Edward was back from where ever he went.
It was a normal day at school, first period was starting to drag and get boring when someone, an office aid i assumed, came into the room and asked for a girl named Bella Swan. I stood up and she told
me that my father had called and ask i return home due to ' personal ' issues. I felt my forhead crease with confusion because i knew that it was absolutley absurd for Charlie to actually take me out of
school. Very, very unlikley. Something was wrong, and i knew it. As i walked outside i didnt see my dads cruiser anywhere and i searched the parking lot, confused. Thats when i laid my eyes on him.
' what is HE doing here! ' i thought to myself. Edward Cullen, the vampire, was here. Outside. Waiting? I felt my eyes grow big, my heart fasten its pace, and my pulse pound like someone has their bass
on high. I controlled my expression instantly. Then, in a very akward manner, walked over to himself. It took the whole walk over to him just to calm down my pulse and heart. But im glad i did.
"Bella," Edward said... right now i hated the way my name sounded on his lips, " will you pleasure me in a walk... ? " He asked. I looked at him, looked back, and then my mind went on panick mode.
' oh god ! hes gunna fucking KILL ME ! oh ... OOH. Bella you dumbass run! RUUN ! NO! dont run, remember Alice! Bella just face it, die already. Die ' I remember Alice and then i heard Edward
laugh, then he let out a ferious snarl. I bolted it. I ran to the forest as fast as my clumsy legs would take me. Then i relized running to a forest when a vampire was possibly thirsty and ready to eat was
just about the dumbest thing i would ever do. i ran faster and the faster i ran the steadier i got. I ended up running so fast and long that i collapsed. Fainted if you must. The last thing i saw was Edward
jumping down from the canopy of trees, and my last thoughts were ' he's going to kill me. ' before my heart gave out in fear and exauhstion.
I dreamt in a blissful, dark, pain and worry free place. Edward and i were forever together. Humanly though, and thats what made me happy. Then the dream turn and i was cold, white, and had gold eyes.
I opened my eyes and saw Edward. I Cried out his name and hugged him as hard as my body would allown it. he pushed my off, hurting me physically a little, but more emotionally. Tears betrayed my
brave face and i cried into his arms while he held me and reassured me it was okay. I felt safe, but at the same time i knew there was more to the little pushing act Edward did then he wanted to let on...
A/N : okay.. so this wasnt the best but it's my first so ... Review and let me know what i can do ! Thanks to my readers who read this, Lol.
