A.N. Sorry it's so short. This is my first story so I had a difficult time getting started. Please let me know what you think.
Dawn began to break as I sat alone in the dazzling forest clearing. Alone. My heart broke at that thought. I was and always would be. Alone. You see, for the first 18 years of my life I was just a normal girl. Well, not exactly normal, I've always been a bit, shall we say, eccentric. But the day of my 18th birthday everything changed. I changed. My life changed. The world changed.
That night was the first time I met them. The Elders, I mean. I was alone in my room when they just…appeared. I knew I should have been scared. I should have screamed for help, but I didn't. Somehow I just knew they were supposed to be there. They explained about all the unknown evils in the world. The demons, the monsters. There were also those who fought against these evils, most of whom were good witches. But I wasn't like them, not exactly anyway. Good witches were born with their powers. I would be given my powers. I had been chosen to fight for the good of mankind.
I missed my family, my friends, and my chance to find love. But none of that was possible. Anyone close to me would be in constant danger. I would be distracted from my duty by protecting them from the danger I had put them in. And worst of all I would have to watch them grow old and die, as I never would. I just couldn't do that.
My mind returned to the scene in front of me. The clearing still seemed peaceful enough but I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach and I knew it was coming. Sure enough a demon appeared before me. Even though I knew he was evil I still dreaded this part. I had always been a peaceful person. But there was just no way to talk things out when dealing with demons. Oh well. I stood up to face him when suddenly I was being shoved out of the way. I looked up to see the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.
Ok, well not exactly a man. I couldn't tell what he was. An angel, maybe. Ok, stop now. Focus. I stood up to face the demon just as he threw a fireball my way. It bounced right off me, as I knew it would. I was virtually indestructable. But the ricochet hit the angel in his arm. It was badly scorched. Ok, maybe not an angel. That wouldn't have hurt an angel. I turned to the demon and quickly used my powers to blow him up. I turned back to the stunning vision before me.
"Are you alright?" I asked approaching him cautiously. Even though I knew he wasn't human, I still didn't want to scare him away.
"I'm fine. Sorry for getting in the way. I thought you could use some help," he answered. His voice was like velvet and it made my heart begin to race. He looked up at me with a crooked smile and I was dazed. I don't know how long I stared at him before he continued. "I'm Edward. It's nice to meet you," he said as he extended his hand to me.
A.N. I will update frequently. Well, if anyone actually wants to read it!
