"Bye," I called to my twin Emmett. He was going hunting with father. I wanted to tag along but mother said it wasn't lady like. We where seventeen, so Emmett still had to take dad with him. Emmett was born first, so he thought I had to respect him. I didn't agree. We lived in Dallas, Texas, but Emmett had more of an accent than I did.
"Bye, Bella," He said walking off with a gun in his hand.
I waited two hours for Emmett to come back. Until father walked up and sat on the porch steps, crying into his hands. I never see father cry so I knew something was wrong. "Father, what's wrong?" I asked, "Where's Emmett?"
"He was attacked, by a grizzly. I didn't get there in time. He's gone," His voice cracked. My twin was gone. I couldn't stand it. I got up and ran into the woods.
Present
"Marissa, come on" I called to my daughter. Yes, daughter. The day Emmett died I ran. I ran until I met James. We thought we where soul mates. We did it a few times and as you can see he got me pregnant. The baby was strong. James couldn't bare it anymore. That was when he told me what he was. A vampire. During the delivery I was dying so he changed me. Marissa is half human half vampire. I ran away after James stated abusing me. It was only Marissa and I.
"Coming," she said. Her bronze curls flowing in the wind. We had just finished hunting. No. Not humans. We hunt animals. I loved the grizzlies the best. They had the richest blood, plus I felt like I was avenging my brother's death when I ate them.
Marissa was 79 years old, but only looked like she was sixteen. We had to enroll her and me in high school. We bought a house in Forks, Washington, and will be going to school at Forks high school.
The house is beautiful. It has two stories and was hidden in the woods. Marissa and I had made a great decision when we bought the house. Marissa was in her room sleeping and I was wondering around when a thought hit me.
Flashback
"Emmett, Ill be right back," I whispered. Em and I where supposed to be asleep, but my throat was dry so I had to get some water. I wondered around downstairs when I fell. A sharp pain shot through my leg and I let out a large cry. Emmett sprinted down the stairs and to my aid. He picked up the books I had tripped over.
"It hurts," I whined.
"I know, I know. It will be okay." He said setting me in the car as we drove off to the hospital.
End of flashback
I held back a laugh. I swore never to wonder alone at night again.
