Claimer: I do own Elizabeth/Izzy Anne Mason

Chapter one- Edwards little surprise

ElizPOV

I hated school. I hated people. But most of all I hated life.

Life had taken everything from me. My home. My mom. Me. Well obviously not really me in person, but my heart, my soul. I was alive, but not really here.

It's been two weeks since my mom died and my dad was making me go to school. He wanted me to become the successor of his company, even though I was a girl. My dad owned a big company on the south side of Europe. We were currently living in Venice, Italy.

I had to go to a prestigious school. My dad made me get into all the highest clubs and all the finest parties. When all I really wanted, was to go to a normal school, and have normal friends. All in all, I just wanted a normal life.

Life. It took everything away from me, but all I ask for is a normal one. It just takes, never gives.

I was walking to my first period when Shawn, my stalker, stopped me. He was cute in every way, long messy blond hair and the prettiest of brown eyes. But his one down side over ruled all his good sides. He was so annoying. I mean he followed me everywhere. To school –he lived next door-, from school, to all my classes, from all my classes, to the cafeteria, from the cafeteria, can you say annoying. Most girls would like the attention, but I didn't.

Even though I didn't like the attention I still got it everywhere. I guess it didn't help when I was one of the most "hottest" girls in school. All the boys in school had a list of the top ten hottest girls in school.

Stacy Luis- brown wavy hair, blue eyes, long legs, and red full lips. Also, Sluttish.

Candy Stevens- short black hair, brown eyes and a body to die for. Also, Sluttish.

Me- reddish/brown hair that went to my shoulders, beautiful green eyes, my lips weren't too full but they were, long legs, a body to die for, and the smarts. Also, shy.

The other ten were basically like the first two. I personally didn't think I was that pretty. I mean yeah sure I had pretty eyes but mile high legs? Puhleese! I could barley reach the cookies in the cabinet in the kitchen. But I knew I looked a lot like my mom, and she was beautiful. Same green eyes, same reddish/brown hair, and the same clumsiness.

I was about to walk threw my first period class when Shawn stopped me.

"Elizabeth? Did you hear me?" I had forgotten that he was there.

"No, sorry." I said. I really didn't want to know what he said.

"I asked if you wanted to go to the Spring Fling with me this Saturday." I was right. I didn't want to know.

"Sorry. I cant. I got to go to a cotillion that my dad is throwing for me and some other girls." It wasn't a lie. I had to go to one because it showed that I was becoming a women or something like that. I never really paid attention.

"Well maybe next time. Ok?" He just wouldn't give up.

"Yeah, sure." I gave him my best fake smile and walked away.

School was school the rest of the day. I didn't listen to what any of the teachers were saying because it was mainly review for the finals and I already knew everything that I needed to know. I had to try and fail to avoid all the other guys asking me to the Spring Fling at lunch and during passing, sometimes even during class.

When I got home I went to my room and turn on the radio. My room was sound proof so I could have it on as high as I want. Then my favorite song came on. Rooftops by Lost prophets.

When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun

Will we make our mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?

Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
This is all we've got now everybody scream your heart out

All the love I've met
I've had no regrets
If it all ends now
I'm sad

Will we make our mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?

Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
This is all we've got now everybody scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops, waiting till the bomb drops
This is all we got now, scream until your heart stops
Never gonna regret, watching every sunset
Listen to your heart beat, on another weekend

Scream your heart out
Scream your heart out
Scream your heart out
Scream your heart out

Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
This is all we've got now everybody scream your…

When the song was over I heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I asked turning off my radio.

"You father." Great.

I walked over to the door and unlocked it. My dad came in and sat on the other side of the room.

"You know that your mom died of a mysterious disease, don't you?" he asked out of now where.

"Yeah." I was completely suspicious of him right now. I mean I never really liked my dad, mainly because he never was really there for my mom and me.

"Well I had a doctor see if you had the same disease as her. Well you do." With that he walked out of my room. I was too stunned to even cry. I just sat there staring off into space.

Two months passed since that day. My dad acted like I didn't even exist. He never really did to begin with, but at least he would give me a nod every once in awhile. Now I got nothing.

Today was different though. I was in my room listening to Just dance by Lady Gaga when a maid told me that my dad wanted to see me in his study. So here I sit waiting for my dad to come into the study to talk to me.

Finally he came threw the big wooden door. But I wasn't expecting the very pretty woman that came in behind him. She wasn't as pretty as my mom but she was pretty nonetheless. She had big brown eyes that matched her long brown hair. Her figure was of an American model, sporty if you will. She stood right next to my dad with her hand on his right shoulder.

"Elizabeth, I would like you to meet Lissa. Your step mother." I just shrugged. I had my suspicions that he had a new wife, there was lots of rumors. "She is pregnant with a little boy. So I have no more use for you." Ok. I didn't really like my dad, but that hurt. "You are not to leave this house unless I give permission. The press would have a field day if they thought that my daughter was unwanted."

"Obviously I am unwanted, dad." I surprised myself by being calm.

"Well they don't need to know that now do they?" He was looking at some papers that I assumed didn't have anything on them.

"Well than, I'm off to bed." I walked off and didn't look back.

With the disease I had I knew I wouldn't last two years. That meant that I would most likely die at the age of eight-teen. I was almost seventeen, only two more months. So I wouldn't have to wait that long until I was free.

When I got to my room I didn't even cry. What my dad had said did hurt. But it didn't hurt enough to make me cry. I haven't cried since the day my mom died which was over two months ago.

Thinking about my mom's death made me want to see her room. I always went in there whenever something bad happened. It made me fell safe. After mom had gotten sick I hadn't gone in there. It reminded me of her so much. It had her smell, her touch, and her sight, just everything that I remembered, but wanted to forget.

I was lying on her bed when I saw one of my favorite books on her dresser. Dracula.

Flashback

My mom had been reading me a book about vampires. I know, usually little girls liked unicorns and princesses. I wasn't like that. I loved vampires and werewolves. One of my favorite books when I was five was Dracula. One of my favorite movies when I was ten was Van Helsing. I even loved the book.

"Mom? Do vampires exist?" I looked up at her and she stopped reading.

"Yes. They do. You even have vampire in you. I am half vampire." She had said it with a smile on her face. Not one of mockery, but just a smile.

End flashback

At that time I was five so of course I believed her. But as I got older I realized that she was just telling me what I wanted to hear.

I walked over to the book and started t flip threw the pages. While I was flipping a piece of paper fell out of the book. It had my name on it in my mother's handwriting. I opened it and it said…

My dear Elizabeth,

By the time you get this I must already be dead. I am truly sorry to leave you there all alone. I hope you will for give me.

What was she saying? Of course I would forgive her. She didn't do it on purpose.

Elizabeth. I have something important to tell you. And you must believe me. Do you remember the time that I was reading you Dracula and you asked if Vampires were real? Well I wasn't exactly lying.

Huh? I have no idea where she was going with this.

I am half Vampire. And you are quarter vampire. The vampire blood in you will start eating at you human blood sooner then mine. I don't know when you will die exactly, but I think it will be when you are about eight-teen. I want you to find Edward Anthony Mason. He is you great uncle. My uncle. He is a vampire. If you turn into a vampire on your eighteenth birthday you will be able to survive. I found that out to late. But I hope this helps you to live longer.

With love, you mother, Catherine Anne Mason-Smith

Well crap. I already have enough on my plate, and now I have to eat this too?
