A/N: Hey! This is very exciting, it's my first ever story posted!
Summary: Vampire Bella has a pretty good life in London. That is, until a certain vampire family turn her life upside down, taking her all over the world in search of something very special to them.
This is a drabble fic, which means some chapter are very, very short! Also, I plan on updating this every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Ok, on with it!
Chapter 1
Bella:
People push and shove myself and others as the tube arrives in the station. London is busy all year round, but Christmas tends to bring out the worst in people. I could easily push myself onto this tube; however, I'm not in a rush.
The tube soon leaves the station so I make my way closer to the edge of the platform. The next tube arrives only minutes later but the human's around me still look disgruntled.
I get on the tube and make my way closer to the handrails. Most human's sway and rock with the tube so it would look too suspicious if I stood still without holding onto anything.
Grabbing the handrail, I glance around at the packed in humans. Most of them are laden with shopping bags which only serve to take up more room on the already cramped tube.
As we start moving I sense someone staring at me. I turn to see who it is and as I'm looking, I see a man quickly look away and stare too intently at a book. I check out the brown haired man, though most of his face is hidden by the book.
I grin a little smugly as I avert my gaze.
Two stops later, I get off the tube. I walk quickly in a weak attempt to avoid the rushing humans. A short walk from the tube station and I'm at the book shop where I work. I've had many different jobs over the years, but this has been one of my favourites recently.
I say hello to the other employee and begin restocking the shelves. It's fairly busy today, as it always is in the lead up to Christmas, so I end up spending most of my shift on the till. The day flies by and I soon find myself back at the tube station, waiting for the next train to arrive.
The bookstore I work out is in the shopping district of London, down one of the side streets off Oxford Street. Even during the weekdays at other times of the year, it's pretty busy.
When the train arrives, I push against other humans and cram myself onto the train. It's busy, just like it always is, but as we get closer to Putney, where my flat is, the tube gets quieter and quieter. I quickly hop off the tube and change to a different line, the District line, and actually manage to get a seat on this train.
Once again, I feel someone staring at me.
When I look up, I see the same guy from before. Staring intently at the same book.
I chuckle quietly and go back to looking out of the window. The final part of my journey is above ground, so I watch as houses and blocks of flats pass by the window. Finally my stop arrives, so I hop off the train and make my way down the steps to get out of the tube station.
I tap my Oyster card on the barrier and walk through, walking out into the cold night air.
As I make my way to my flat, I get the distinct feeling that someone is following me. After changing my route a few times and looping back on myself, I'm certain there's someone following me.
I take a few more turns and end up near an alleyway with a dead end, which I walk down. Clearly, the person following me doesn't know it's a dead end as they follow right behind me.
Turning around, I glare at the man who's on the other end of the alleyway. I debate with myself what to do. Should I just scare him? How can I be certain he won't do the same to another woman, one who isn't able to defend themselves in the way that I can?
Just before I lunge, I notice the golden eyes and pale skin. I let out a string of curses before I attack, not watching my speed, and pin him up against the wall. His eyes widen a little at my surprise attack, but he doesn't look worried. If anything, he looks amused.
Wrong move.
"What the fuck do you want?"
