Bella's POV

Green plants, trees covered in moss, I have to admit I'll miss Forks.

The place where I was born, where I met my best friend Jacob and friends like Mike and Angela, and of course where I met my first-and only- love, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.

I stared out the window in Edward's silver Volvo.

I remembered every single detail in my former human life, from my near death experience with Tyler's truck to Edward's proposal until Edward finally turned me into a vampire.

I stared into the empty road in front of us with the same blank stare Edward used to give me, or at least I tried to stare like him with my (finally!) golden eyes.

My train of thought was suddenly interrupted when Edward's pale hand touched mine. I held his hand tightly.

After I became a vampire, I was surprisingly stronger than him. I was even stronger than Emmett. I even beat him in an arm wrestling match, but I think he held a grudge against me after that day. He would always mutter when Edward and I would kid around in the house. But I don't think he actually takes it personally, but it sure did take a huge blow in his ego.

Well, my strength was fun while it lasted.

I laughed softly, surprised by my own voice. I still can't get over me being a vampire. But, it all happened so fast.

Now, Charlie thinks I finished college at Dartmouth.

Actually it is true. Edward and I graduated a few years ago while the others finished earlier. I had to go to college, I felt guilty because of Edward. Besides, he already bought a house!

Now Jacob, well, he's in his fourth year in college, and wants to follow Nessie with us.
I find it funny, no, Hilarious!

Just a few years ago, Edward hated "those filthy mutts" while Jake called them- well, us- "reeking bloodsuckers". Now a vampire – technically a half vampire- and a werewolf are going to end up together. I don't find it surprising, actually, the only thing that surprised me was who Jake imprinted on, not me, but Nessie, my daughter.

After all that happened, well, my life just seems to get crazier by the second.
What's crazier is that Nessie's only 10 years old, but she looks like a 15 year old!
Well, nothing in my life was ever simple. Good thing she stops there. I could never imagine her to be older than me.

" Coz, we belong together now yeah!" Nessie was singing along to her ipod, a gift she received from Carlisle and Esme.

"Well, she grew up fast." Edward muttered. Then he smiled.

I just stared at him, not breathing. Wow, even if I'm a vampire I still get dazzled by him.
His eyebrows suddenly furrowed when he glimpsed at me.

"What? Do I look that bad?"

I laughed at what he said. How could he even think that? He was like Adonis, only he was walking and talking, but not alive.

He laughed, just like he read my mind.

"Edward, don't say that!" I punched his arm.

"Ouch Bella. That hurts." He said, his tone was obviously mocking me. I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up, Edward! You're such a sissy. What kind of a man are you?"

"A lucky man, because I have a beautiful wife like you."
Stupid shiny Volvo owner.

I punched him again, this time a bit harder.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?"

"That was for that cheesy and totally untrue pickup line."

"The cheesy part I get, but the untrue part? I wasn't lying about anything!"

" Oh yeah? Am I beautiful? Not like Rosalie. I may be a bit pretty, but beautiful?"

"Bella, how could you ever doubt yourself?" He put his free hand on my cheek, slowly tracing my face with his hand. "You're beautiful in my eyes. You'll always be prettier than anyone else."

Wow. He literally took my breath away.

I just stared, dumbstruck at him.

He laughed and then his focus went back to the road.

"Mom?"

It's kind of weird; Nessie looks a bit younger, but more or less, the same age as us.

"Yes Nessie?" I answered.

" Can you take care of my ipod for a while? I think I'll take a nap."

"Of course!"

" Thanks mom! You're the best!"

" No problem."

She took her bag and put it at the back. Then she laid down then fell asleep.

I was curious, so I plugged it into the speaker.
I tinkered with the controls and Edward looked at me, confused.
I pressed play then music was blasting from the speakers. I adjusted the volume and listened to the song. "No air" was the first song to play.

If I should die before I wake,
its cause you took my breath away.I couldn't help myself. I sang along with Jordin Sparks.

Edward sniggered. "How about a different song?"

Before I could say anything, he pressed next.

Love Story was playing.

We were both young when I first saw you.
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts.
I'm standing there on the balcony in summer air.

I was singing along. I noticed traffic was building up.
Edward muttered something. "I hate driving slow."

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around,
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I said, Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said.

I was surprised when Edward was singing along.

Marry me Juliet; you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad. Go pick out a white dress.
It's a love story, baby just say yes.

Then when I fully understood the lyrics, it seemed to describe my life.
As if it was describing our love story. I looked at Edward. He was staring at the car in front of us. Then he turned to me.

"I already found my Juliet." He laid his lips upon my forehead then slid his long, slender fingers into my hand.

Then I heard Katy Perry's voice.

Comparisons are easily done once you've had a taste of perfection.
Like an apple hanging from a tree, I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed.
You said move on where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know.Then, I felt numb all over my body. I couldn't feel anything.
My hand suddenly went limp when I heard the chorus.
Edward looked at me, concerned.

"Bella? What's wrong? Bella? "

My lips were trembling. I couldn't answer. My memories were crystal clear.

The trees surrounding us, Edward's face blank, expressionless.

"You don't…. want me?"
" No."I know Edward was just lying then, but, after what he said, I felt like my heart was torn apart and ripped into tiny pieces. I acted like a zombie then. No feelings, no emotion.
I shook my head and I tried to compose my face, trying to look calm. Edward would never do it again, I was sure of that.

"Bella? Are you alright?" His perfect eyebrows furrowed.

"Of course! Nothing wrong." I smiled at him.

"Bella, I swear. I wish I could read your mind. Are you sure you're okay?" His golden eyes were smoldering. It was filled with compassion and concern.

Then Thunder was playing. Edward sang along, he sang as if it was his own composition.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer;
do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder.His velvety voice was beautiful. I listened to it, like a baby would to a lullaby.

I wanted to listen to it forever, but I was disappointed when it stopped.
I realized that the roads were nearly clear, except for some of the other Cullen cars.

"Next stop, Ridgefield heights." He said.

Of course, we couldn't stay in the same town forever, or else our secret would be exposed, so we had to move to a new town. A small, cloudy town. Somewhere that our secret would never be exposed, or at least hard to be discovered.

Time passed, before we knew it, it was the middle of the night.

Of course, we didn't need any headlights to see the road in front of us, but technically I'm just human, besides, I'm worried for Renesmee's sake. I looked at her. She didn't look like Renesmee Cullen, the tough girl who matured in such an early age, but she looked like Nessie, our daughter, so youthful, so innocent. I couldn't bear the thought of anyone harming her. I shuddered at the thought. But before anyone can lay a finger on her, well, that person or creature must be a hell of a lot tougher than a coven full of aggravated vampires.

Welcome to the black parade suddenly played on the stereo.

We'll carry on
we'll carry on!
I jumped when I felt my cellphone vibrating in my jeans.
I quickly pulled it out and flipped it open with a twist of my hand and
I turned off the ipod.

"Hello?"

"Bella? This is Carlisle."

"Oh. Hey Carlisle! What's the matter?"

"Bella? I have to speak to Edward. "

"Tell Carlisle I'm driving. Put it on speaker if you have to."
I followed Edward's instructions.

"Edward." Carlisle said in a stern manner.
"Edward, pull over. After that, wait for us then follow our car."

"Okay." His eyes looked like it was trying to solve a difficult math equation.

Carlisle hung up the phone. Edward did as he was instructed. He pulled over on the side of the road, near the trees. He laid his head on the steering wheel, looking as if he was sleepy. But I could see something more; his eyes looked like he was worried. As if someone was torturing him. Before I could ask, Edward pressed his foot unto the pedal and followed the rest of the cars, Rose's m3, Alice's yellow Porsche, Emmett's monster truck, and most importantly, Carlisle's Mercedes. Edward followed after the other cars.

I just sat there, not knowing what to expect. But something was eating me at the back of my head. I know what that look means. The last time I saw that on his face was when – I shuddered at the thought- Victoria was after me...

So, that could mean only one thing.

"Edward, a vampire's on the loose, isn't there?"

He looked at me, and grimaced. He nodded.
"But we don't know what its true intentions are."
" Is it dangerous? I mean for others?" I shot a meaningful glance towards Renesmee, innocent looking, like a sleeping angel. Her bronze curls covering her face.

"Calm down love, we won't let anything happen to our daughter. I won't. Let's see if this monster can take down a coven full of vampires." He smirked. A smug smile across his face.

I couldn't help but smile too. I mean, nothing could stop us. Now that I was a vampire there would be nothing to be afraid of. No more weak spot. Renesmee was our only treasure now.

Suddenly, Edward stopped the car.
All the cars pulled over. We quickly got out of the Volvo. Renesmee was groggy, so I had to support her.

"Yawn. What's the matter?" She asked.

We saw the rest of the Cullens in a circle ahead. It seems Carlisle was in the middle of the gathering. I caught up with Edward.
Carlisle was saying something.

"It's too late."

"Too late for what?" Edward asked.

"For him. He's already… a vampire."

"What?"

"The venom spread faster than I thought."

I looked at the newborn vampire. He was muscular, not as bulky as Emmett, maybe like Jasper .He looks like a 15 year old, same age as Nessie. His build is that of an athlete.

I was curious. I asked Carlisle a question.
"Carlisle, does he have a special ability?"

"We don't know for sure. "

He turned to speak to the young boy. His eyes widened, like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Please! Don't hurt me! "He had an exotic accent. Probably Italian.

He was begging for mercy. But nobody would actually hurt him.

"Calm down. We won't hurt you. We have no intention on harming you. We only want to ask you a few questions." Carlisle's voice was soothing. It seemed to work.

" What's your name?"

" It's Mark. My real name is Marcus Anderson, you know? Like St. Marcus, the one who got rid of those vampires? "

"I see." Carlisle laughed. "In fact, I am well acquainted with Marcus."

Mark had a skeptical look on his face.

"Chill dude. You'll get used to the craziness around here." Emmett said.

We all laughed.

" Carlisle, what do you think will happen?" Alice asked.

"I think the Volturi would capture the vampire who nearly killed him. But, I think they would also kill him, to make sure he wouldn't be a rampaging newborn that would kill people on a whim and expose our existence." Carlisle answered.

"I hate to say it, but he's right you know." Edward said to Mark.

"What did I do? I don't want to be killed!" His bright red eyes shone as he spoke.

"It's not what you did, but what you could do." Carlisle explained.

"What should we do?" I asked Carlisle.

" There are two options. The first would be to leave him here. But he would get killed if we did that."

Alice was staring blankly into the trees. She was having a vision.

"What's up with that freaky girl?" Mark asked.

Jasper scowled at him. He was growling.
Emmett stopped him with his firm grasp on Jasper's wrists.
"Relax Jasper. He didn't mean it." Carlisle said.

Jasper's stance relaxed.
Alice shook her head. Her spiky hair was going everywhere.
"Carlisle, second option?"

"What did you see Alice?" Carlisle asked.

"Trust me, it's... Ugh." Edward said. His nose wrinkled in disgust.

"Okay, second option. We adopt him."

"Not a bad idea Carlisle. We haven't registered for classes yet, so I guess its fine." Rose said.

"So it's okay with everyone? Mark?" Carlisle asked.

"If' its okay with you all." He murmured.

"It's settled then! Welcome to our family." Carlisle extended his arms toward Mark.

"Let me introduce you. I'm Carlisle. This is my wife pixie-like girl is Alice. The blond one is Jasper. The bulky one is Emmett. The one with the long wavy hair's Rosalie. The brunette is Isabella; the one with the bronze hair is Edward, and the one with the chocolate brown eyes is Renesmee."

Renesmee smiled at him. Mark responded with a sheepish smile.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but my daughter's taken." Edward said nonchalantly.

He was suddenly frowning. Nessie giggled.

"I'm not surprised many people have a crush on you. Your mother had twenty admirers at the least." A sly grin spread across Edward's face.

I, for one, was shocked. Stupid Edward. He did that on purpose, knowing that it ticked me off.

Apparently, he was right.

"What? Were you scared that Mike would sweep me off my feet and not you?"
I challenged him.

A snarl escaped from his mouth.
"I love it when you're angry." He smiled, acting like Emmett.

" Emmett said.

Edward came near me. "We are going to have a long discussion tonight." He whispered in my ear. He grabbed me by my waist and kissed me roughly.

"Eww… Mom, Dad. Get a room!" Renesmee said.

We just laughed.

"Let's get going! We're not camping out here are we?" Emmett said with a laugh.

"Mark, you can stay in our car. I'm sorry, but you can't be near Nessie. Edward might do something……bad…" Carlisle said.

"Carlisle…" Edward shot a mean look at him.

"And I'll be the one restraining him from leaving his Volvo, his wife, his daughter, his patience and possibly his sanity." I said.

"That's why I wanted her to be my little sister. She's frigging hilarious!" Emmett said. A huge grin spread across his face.

"" I gave him a high five.

"Let's get going! We're going to get there in a few hours! Let's go!" Ahhh... Nessie... Impatient as ever.

"Wait. We have to make sure Mark is calmed down. Jasper, can you stay in our car? Just in case Mark catches a scent of a human." Carlisle asked.

"Carlisle!" Alice reacted. "I don't want to be alone in my car."

"But Alice, It's for the best."
"Fine. But Bella stays in my car."

I felt my jaw drop. I should have seen that one coming…

"Alice, you have GOT to be kidding me." Edward said,

"No way! I won't go until Bella comes with me"

"Bella…" He was looking at me.

"Come on Bella! After all I did to look for evidence so that you wouldn't die in the clutches of the Volt-"

Stupid guilt.

"Alright I'll go, just spare us with your guilt speeches." I said to Alice.

"Yay!"

I gave Edward a save-me-from-Alice look.

"Don't worry Bella. I'll keep a close eye on Alice."
He gave me a kiss on my forehead. Then Alice grabbed the sleeve of my tee, nearly tearing it up.

"Slow down Alice!"

I opened the door of the Porsche and sat down on the leather seat.

"Alice, why do you like kidnapping me so much?"

" Aww… I'm scared of being alone here."

"Alice, you have nothing to be afraid of, any animal would be scared of you."

"Why?"

"You'd probably talk them to their death, or annoy them to their death."

"You're bad Bella…"

As Alice was driving, we were talking and giggling about the stupidest stuff.

Meanwhile…"Mark, how did you become a vampire?" Carlisle asked Mark.

"Well… "

Okay………. End of first chapter(obviously!)
