A/N: Hello Folks!, welcome to my first fanfic, if you don't like werid, otherworldy things, then you shouldn't read this. It deals with different universes, not space or astronomy but, weird fairy things. It's not dark, more humorous, I think. I got the name from an Edgar Allen Poe poem, called Ulalume, I don't know why I chose it, I just thought it was pretty. So enjoy!.
Preface:
Just as everything was right again, it was snatched away from me. Like a gust of wind taking my sun hat and flying across the ocean with it. I knew he loved me, I was certain. But, how come I couldn't escape the stinking feeling in my stomach that told he was never coming back?. And now, in his place is a darker figure, a darker figure come to take even more from me, from him, my beloved. But, surely, dying in the place of someone I loved, amounted to much more than my own life. Knowing that he was safe, amounted for much more than my own life.
Knowing that he loved me, amounted for much more than my own life.
I watched as the figure comes closer, chanting my name.
Twirling a shiny object between his fingers.
I feel the pain before I know what's happening.
Goodbye, my love.

Chapter One:
Bella Swan, Tuesday 8:00 am, Hallway.
"Emmett, I swear to god." I yelled to the bathroom door. On the other side was my idiot brother who had been currently in there for fifteen minutes. School was in ten minutes and I wasn't even dressed. I sighed and opened my mouth to yell again, when the doorknob turned and my brother's big head popped out. He looked alot like me, except more masculine and muscular, he had extremely curly brown hair and a smirk was always plastered to his round baby face.
"Im out, chill." I rolled my eyes and side stepped him into the bathroom, slamming the door.
I let out a gust of air and rubbed my eyes infront of the mirror, I quickly brushed my teeth, my hair and washed my face. After patting down my face with a dry towel, I looked at the girl in the mirror. She had long, dark brown hair and a pale heart-shaped face, with dull brown eyes, ringed with dark, purple bags under each from lack of sleep. Definitely not attractive. I sighed again, pulled my hair into a ponytail and stuck my red, rectangular necklace under my t-shirt.

Bella Swan, 8:15 am, Floor.
"Ouch, mother fucker!" I rubbed my throbbing behind with my hand. I should definitely pay more attention as to where I walk, especially coming down the stairs. I picked myself up off the floor and hopped into the kitchen. I hated our kitchen, it was a sickly yellow colour, with a mismatched dining room table in the middle, Emmett, was now sitting at that table, smirking and eating his Cheerios, I glared at him, long and hard.
"Hurry up and eat, or I'm not driving you to school." Ugh, are you kidding?. My car had been in the shop for a week now because of a stupid, unworking engine. Renee and Charlie made him drive me to school every morning, Emmett was less than happy to help.
Renee and Charlie were our adoptive parents. Apparently we had showed up on their doorstep, and they just had to take us in (cue eye roll). They lived in the little town of Forks, Washington. Where everybody knew everybody, like a big fucking episode of Cheers.
Renee and Charlie weren't that bad. Giving us a nice home, cars and and giving us more than enough allowance, trying to make up for the fact that they were never around. With Charlie's job (I'm still not sure what he does) and Renee's clubs and stupid trips to Vegas, they never had time for had been gone for two days now and we weren't expecting them until next week. So for now it was just me and Emmett.
Normally, Emmett and I got along, but today he was just trying to get under my skin and make us late.
"Fuck you." I seethed, glaring at him, whilst pouring milk into my bowl of cereal.
"Ouch, right in the feel bads, Bella." Emmett said, rubbing his heart. The sad thing was, he was rubbing the wrong side of his chest.
"Wrong side." I sneered.
Emmett quickly changed sides, "Ouch, right in the feel bads, Bella."

Bella Swan, 8:45 am, Spanish Class.
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.
Detention.
I was a little late.
"Bella, you were twenty five minutes late."
Okay, that was lie, I was kind of late.
I gave my spanish teacher a sheepish grin, and shrugged my shoulders.
"Oops?"
I heard a few snickers behind me, I turned around and quickly glared at them.
Then too-sweetly smiled at my short, sporty and tanned spanish teacher, Mrs. Hapala.
"Sit down Swan, detention after school." I glared at her.
I made my way to my seat, and slammed my head on the wood of my desk.

Bella Swan, 12:01 pm, Lunch.
Ah, lunch.
Where the Preps sit with the Preps, and glare at you.
Where the Jocks sit with the Jocks, and glare at you.
Where the Nerds sit with the Nerds, and glare at you.
I jumped in the cafeteria line, and jumped back out feeling victorious with a lemonade bottle.
The cafeteria was such a boring place, full of white. White walls, white tables, white trays. It looked like a fucking hospital. I scanned the white tables for a friendly face.
Sitting, as always, in the same spot, was Jacob, my bestfriend.
Jake and I were unbelievably close.
Closer than Bert and Ernie, Closer than P.B and J.
I had met him in the first grade, in the sandbox. He was eating sand and didn't realize that in his handful of sand was a worm, and he was going to eat it. Horrified, I tackled him.
"Hey!" He whined. "That hurt."
"I had to, you could've died." I informed him wide eyed. He stared back at me in shock.
"Whoa, You're like Superman, no wait, Superman's a man, and you're a girl, girls are gross."
I glared, and agrued that boys were much more gross.
After that, we were inseperable.
He was tan skinned, with a mop of silky black hair down to his shoulders, he had perfect teeth and perfect hazel eyes. Jake was unbelievably cute, hot even. But he was my bestfriend, all he ever would be. Kissing him would be like kissing Emmett, double ew.
I smiled and walked over to the table. I sat down, unscrewed the cap off my lemonade and took one big swig. Jake raised his eyebrow, unimpressed and reached his hand out towards me, grabbed the bottle, and chugged the whole thing.
I glared at him.
"You know if you keep glaring, your face will stay like that."
"You know, if you don't shut up, you won't have a face."
Jake feigned hurt and gave me a toothy smile. He twirled the bottle between his fingers, getting a look of determination on his face that both disturbed me and frightened me.
"He shoots, he scores!" Jake exclaimed, shooting the bottle into the nearest trash bin.
I rolled my eyes at his antics, reached over the table and flicked him in the head.
"Ouch." He muttered.
"Hey!, did you see the new students yet?" Jake asked.
I shook my head 'no'. I hadn't even known we were getting new students.
"When did we get them?" I asked him.
"Last week, but you wouldn't know.. you were 'sick' ." Jacob laughed making air quotes around 'sick'. I glared at him. I wasn't actually sick, I just needed a break from school...
"They're strange, really weird." Jake said, amused. "One was in my english class this morning."
"How many are there?" I asked Jake, scanning the cafeteria to see if I could find an unfamiliar face. Which wasn't hard, Forks High only had four or five hundred students.
"Three, moved here from Alaska or some shit." Alaska?! Wow. "Two are brother and sister, the other one, well, I'm not quite sure where he ties in, he's just...there."
I laughed.
"I feel bad for them, everyone is all over them, it's like the coming of Jesus."
Ha, Welcome to Forks.

Bella Swan, 2:15 pm, Biology Class.
Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Le- OW!.
Word of advice: Look where you are walking, not your feet.
I rubbed the spot where my head had connected with the wall, at least the wall was right beisde the door to biology.
I entered, fashionably late. I had the sudden urge to strike a pose, I refrained, not wanting to be sent to the nurse's office.
"Ah, Miss Swan, How nice of you to join us." I repressed a shudder. I loathed Mr. Banner. He was absolutley disgusting, his shirts never fit, his five o' clock shadow always making an appearance. For a thrity eight year old man, he was ridiculously short and fat. And his hairline... I mean, lack of hairline, always bothered me. On a couple occasions I had caught him sticking his pen in his ear and checking the ear wax on the end. Ew.
I glared.
He glared back.
"You have a new lab partner."
I spun around and looked at my lab table, sure enough a disarray of unusual bronze hair was was staring at me. Attached to the head of hair was the most amazing face I had ever seen. Bright green eyes stared at me, a perfect angular nose stared at me, perfect full lips stared at me. Hell, even his perfect ears stared at me. He was outrageously pale, like he had never seen the sun.
I lifted my hand to my mouth to see if any drool had slipped out, luckily there was none. I closed it and silently walked to my lab table. Unfortunatly, I tripped on the way, landing on my face.
We meet again, Mr. Floor.
In a huff I picked myself up and continued my walk of shame. I could just picture all the kids in my class morph into little, red devils pointing their pointer stick thingys at me. It was like I was walking to my own personal hell.
Poor ol' Bella Swan.
I slowly sat myself into my seat and pulled out my books, trying in vain to not look at the handsome, Mr. Darcy, incarnate.
Mr. Banner started his dull lecture about some stupid shit, so I took out my notebook and started absentmindly doodling. Swirl, Star, Pretty Happy face, What the fuck?!
My notebook was suddenly snatched away from me. I glared and looked in the direction it went to.
Fitzwilliam Darcy, no, that doesn't fit ... Adonis over there, had stolen it, and was now writing in it.
I glared at the side of his head, could this guy get anymore perfect?. His jawline was angular and prominent. Lick it...Come on Bella, just one little lick...No! My eyes snapped out of their sex fest and remembered the task at hand: glaring at Adonis.
He met my glare, and smiled crookedly.
Sorry folks, Bella Swan has just died.
He had absolutley perfect teeth, straight and pure white, he looked delicious, I wanted to eat him. Bad Bella!, Don't eat the new kid!.
He passed the notebook back to me, and I quickly grabbed it, glaring at him.
I was eager to look at what he wrote, Stop Bella. No!, He even writes sexy!. I said stop!, this is ridiculous. Unnng, Fine.
I tried not focus on his extremely sexy handwriting and focused back on what he wrote.
Hi, Im Edward Cullen.
I wrote back.
Bella Swan.
I know, how are you Bella?
'I know'? Eh, what?. Did I read that correctly?, I read it over, Yep, it was correct all right. I chose to ignore that comment.
Bored... yourself?
Happy to be here. It was an extremely long flight.
Ouch, Alaska is far.
He laughed out loud, the most beautiful laugh my small little ears had ever heard, for no reason. I was contemplating on bringing him to the nurse.
"Mr. Cullen, are you okay?"
Edward nodded, and looked back to the paper.
What? What did I say?
Nothing. Would you be offended, no forget I said that, would you be frightened if I told you I traveled here, because of you?.
Excuse me? I never even knew of your existence until now. My face paled and I choked out a nervous laugh.
"Swan, Office, now."
I glared at the paper.
I ripped the paper out of my notebook, crumpled it up and stalked my way to the office.

Bella Swan, 10:01 pm, Bed.
I stared at the ceiling, fingering my necklace.
It was a beautiful necklace, a plain dark red, almost like a blood colour, rectanglular pendant. I wasn't not quite sure where I had gotten it, I liked to belive it was my mother's, or my family before this one. I had had it since forever, never taking it off to shower, swim or anything, besides Jake, this necklace was my bestfriend. The only thing left before Renee and Charlie (Ew.)
I gazed down at the necklace, it had suddenly turned green, a dark emerald green, out of nowhere. This is one fucked up mood ring, what does green stand for?. I shook my head, I never knew it did that.. and thought of all things green. Grass, swamps, Edward's eyes...
Edward.
That hot hunk of fictional story book characters, he didn't even look like he was from Earth.
He was hauntingly beautiful.
Would you be frightened if I told you I traveled here, because of you?
I pondered his question, no, I wasn't frightened, a little weirded out, but not frightened..

A/N: So?, what did you think?, It is the first chapter though, I don't usually judge a story by its first chapter... they are always boring, introducing you to the story. If its confusing then feel free to ask me!. I don't know if I want to say anything more.. So, review!
