Pride and Prejudice: Twilight Style
Must I sadly admit I do not own Edward Cullen? Alas if I did, you can bet your ass I would not be leaving my room for anything short of food and water...
A/N: The idea of writing a Twilight themed version of Pride and Prejudice has obviously been done already, a few times as I have seen, yet I cannot help but put out my own version of it. I really loved the concept of Edward as a Mr. Darcy-esque character, so I decided to continue with the story, and i do hope you all like it :)
Btw: This version is based off the newest remake of the Austen novel so if you are completely oblivious to the storyline I highly recommend reading the book or simply watching the movie : anywhoooo enjoy darlings
"Oh my dear Mr. Swan, have you heard the news? Fork Park has a new resident!"
"You must tell me more, my love." Mr. Swan replied, seeming not the least bit interested at the sudden news that pleased his wife so. The quixotic Renee Swan continued to swarm around her aging husband, buzzing with the latest gossip of the new tenant.
"According to Mrs. Smith down the street, he is by no means just another new neighbor; for heavens sake he now owns the biggest estate in Forks! Why don't you inquire to this mysterious new man, Mr, Swan?"
"Simply due to the fact that you already wish to tell me, and my encouraging would only seem to get in the-"
"He is a young bachelor by the name of Mr. Hale, and I hear he brings his family fortunes with him! Mr. Swan do you pretend to be dull to what this news bring!? He must marry one of our girls!" A high pitch shriek erupted from behind the closed doors of Mr. Swans personal library. He raised an eyebrow at the noise and turned to his wife. Mrs. Swan gave the door a dirty look as her two youngest girls erupted from it, giddy and squealing still.
"Oh what a beautiful man this Mr. Hale must be!" Jessica rejoiced, seemingly unaware that their eavesdropping wasn't secretive in the least. Lauren beamed at her and they both laughed once more.
"With the riches he brings forth, I doubt you would care if he were dying and soulless." Isabella Swan walked into the room as her sister Alice followed, smiling at Bella's comment. Out of all the Swan children, it was no doubt that the eldest, Alice, was the beauty. With glossy black hair caressing her milky shoulders in what appeared to be endless waves, she was a little taller than the second oldest Bella. The comparison wasn't even of the two beautiful sisters, although it came quite often. Bella was the spirit of the Swan family, and she was in no way unappealing to the eye. Her simple brown hair, when not pinned up in the fashionable up-do, was wavy and thick, and her large chocolate brown eyes always seemed to light up when she spoke. Jessica was only two years younger than Bella, but her childish ways seemed more even to the youngest sister Lauren, who was only sixteen.
"Well Mr. Swan, you must make yourself know to this Mr. Hale, how else are we to meet him?" Mrs. Swan inquired to her husband, who simply smiled at her.
"My dear Mrs. Swan, you must give your husband more credit, for I have already met the young man." Another pair of shrieks filled the room. Bella smiled charmingly at Alice, who shook her head at her younger sister with a smile playing on her lips.
"Is he handsome!?"
"Is he endearing?!"
"Will he be at the ball father?" Mr. Swan smiled at his family and nodded once. This time it was not just Lauren and Jessica who squealed, their mother joined them as the room buzzed. Bella grabbed Alice's hand and led her into the hallway.
"What do you think of this news sister?" Alice blushed slightly and bit her lip.
"I think it would be wise to keep the rest of our family at home where they cannot force themselves upon this poor Mr. Hale." They both laughed as the questions kept pouring from their younger sisters toward their father.

The ball was being held in the public hall in the middle of town, so dressing up for the occasion was not obligatory. Bella helped Alice pin her lovely hair down into a loose bun with a few stray curls framing her delicate face. Bella admired her lovely sister as she flew about the room in her cream colored dress, a simple pink ribbon hugged her waist. Bella smiled as Alice stood in front of her, tying the ribbon.
"You are the envy of the town Alice, and if I was not wise to the negative consequence of jealousy I would pity myself for being related to such a beauty." Alice laughed and sat next to Bella, who wore a light brown dress that was elegant yet casual. Her hair was also pinned in a fashionable bun, her bangs lightly covering her heart shaped face.
"You are a true charmer, but you are not the judge of beauty dear sister." They both smiled and walked out of the room, arms linked. Lauren and Jessica were racing around the front room, re-tying this and re-pinning that. Their words were frantic and their faces held so much pure energy. Bella couldn't help but laugh at the scene, and her mother was not far behind. Mr. Swan tried to calm his wife who called loudly out the door for their carriage.
"Be calm my loves, only your fortunes hang in the balance of this meeting!"
"No pressure then, right mama?" Alice giggled as the carriage stopped outside. They all climbed in and the chatter arose. Mr. Swan was the last to enter the carriage, and he merely gave his home a sad little goodbye as he entered the carriage that was filled with frenzied excitement.
