Authors Note : First off, I want to apoligize if this story comes off to "English". I've never been to America, so am not sure of many American terms and such, but I will try my hardest for the American charactors in the story. I hope you enjoy my offering. The Cullen family are not mine, although I altered some of their family to include my own charactors. Its a mix of Stephenie Meyer's awesome charactors, and my own too.
Feel free review and leave any imput. Thanks :)
Prologue:
1902;
Manchester, England.
Laying on the floor, the body started to feel cold. They were not yet dead, but dying for sure. First their fingers and toes grew colder, the breathing faint. In the distance there was footsteps, edging ever closer.
"Its ok, I promise this won't hurt." Suddenly, an almighty sting flickered through their hands, followed by the fire. The never ending fire. The body screamed, and their eyes shot open. All they could see was blond hair covering their arm. Someone was biting them. The hair moved, and a blurry face came to the person's sight. They recognized the man in front of them, but all they could think about was the flames.
"Rest your eyes, Miss Mills." The man covered her eyes, closing them.
The days seemed blurry, slipping in and out of consciencness. The man visited, and she occasionally noticed him adding something red to the iv tube in her arm. Then a strange smell woke her fully. The smell of something rustic. The girl felt herself hungry, but not for food, she was hungry for something else. The scent. Her eyes shot open, and adjusting to the light, she stood. She was alive, she thought to herself. Surprised seeing she'd been left for dead, she turned to face the man before her.
"Doctor Cullen.." She spoke, her voice sounding different to her head. The man turned, a smile across his face.
"Ah finally, Miss Mills." Doctor Cullen pulled a seat out for her. As Miss Mills tried to speak, he hushed her and handed her a mirror. Bringing it to see herself, the first thing she noticed was her brunette hair was not perfectly placed, not like she'd been laying down for the last 3 days at all. Her eyesight seemed to be perfect, and could even notice each strand of her hair. Her skin looked paler, yet flawless. She looked beautiful, her lips looked softly plumped. The only shock was when she finally noticed her eyes. They were no longer the crystal blue, but a deep, crimson red. Miss Mills gasped.
"What? What's wrong with me?" She said, dropping the mirror and reaching for her face. Her skin felt like marble, cold and lifeless. She then examined her hands, they too was pale. In fact her whole body was, and all she wore was a hospital gown. She looked at Dr Cullen and screamed.
What had he turned her into? A monster, a beautiful monster, but this wasn't normal.
Still the smell aroused her, and soon she realized where it was coming from. Turning back towards the bed, she noticed the blood in the IV. With one effortless jump, she grabbed the bag and ripped through it, drinking the blood from within. Once it was gone, she stood back. She wiped the blood from her mouth, the redness leaving a trace on her hand. She was infact a monster, a blood drinking vampire. And Dr Cullen had created her. Full of anger and angst, she lunged onto the Doctor, and started to attack him. She was strong, alot stronger than him, but he soon managed to stop her, before she did too much damage.
"Please Emilia, I am wanting to help you, not hurt you." She stopped, noticing his eyes were a different colour than hers. While her eyes were a blazing crimson, Dr Cullen's eyes were pure amber, almost gold in fact. She stopped, realizing if she wanted to get used to being this way, she would have to spare him to get advice. "You was almost dead, when I found you Emilia. I managed to find you just in time. The smell of blood from the floor around you, caught my attention. I aim to help people, the Doctor get up isn't just a cover Emilia. Its a job too. In this life and the one I lead around me."
"So now we just go and kill people?"
"No. I don't taste kill humans. I purely save them, that need saving. Ones like you, and my son, Edward."
The girl had noticed the Doctor's son around the town. He'd caught her attention time enough. He was as handsome as Dr Cullen, More so even. "You'll be hungry again soon. You must come hunting with us soon." Emilia looked confused. He'd mentioned not killing humans, yet not explained how exactly they got the blood to survive. Taking her hand, Dr Cullen lead the way from the house and out into the green forested area. They were joined by Edward Cullen, and Emilia noticed the same amber eyes as Dr Cullen. Standing frozen in the spot, she saw them race off, admiring how fast they seemed to appear. Was she going to be that fast now she was one of them? Taking a breath for the second time since she'd been created into her new vampirism lifestyle, her senses went wild. All she could do was smell the blood, the desire shot through her, and off she ran.

1935;
Gatlinberg, Tennessee.
The sun was shining brightly, and the heat from the sun, fell unaffecting the woman as she ran effortlessly through the forest. She'd already devoured a small dear, but was still feeling peckish. Running her tongue over the front of her teeth, licking off any reminding blood, Emilia Cullen (as she was now known) picked up the scent of a large bear. Grinning, she started her chase again. Emilia was now used to "vegetarian" diet that the Cullen's lived on. She'd survived on it since she was first created some 33 years ago, and along with Dr Cullen, and Edward hadn't aged a day. She still looked like the 20year old. Only alot more beautiful than she had been before her "death". Or as she called it, her resurrection.
The bear had crossed a river, and hitching her skirt up, Emilia chased after, leaping over the river in one go.
There was no way this bear was leaving the forest alive, she thought. She followed the trail, till she picked up a different scent. Stopping in her tracks, she sniffed longer. This scent was one of a human, and Emilia had never smelled something so tasty. Her lips moistened, and she continued her chase after the bear. The human would have to wait, she thought. Yet as she followed the bears scent, her senses confused her more, and it seemed the two scents had combined. Hearing a scream, Emilia turned and followed in a eastward direction. The smell for the human became stronger, and she realized she was close. She could hear the bear growling, while the human seemed to be in pain. As she reached the opening in the forest, she saw the bear mauling the young male human before her.
Hissing, she leaped at the bear, biting onto its neck. The bear swung around, trying to force Emilia off, and she flew against a nearby tree, the force pushing it to the ground. The bear ran off, but Emilia didn't follow. Her eyes focused onto the boy lay before her. The scent of the boys blood was overwhelming Emilia, and she rushed to his side. Her vampire senses were urging her to finish off the bears work. yet somehow she stopped herself.
She brushed the curls off the boys face, and his eyes caught hers. Emilia felt weird, and felt human for a second. She'd lived for 33 years with two gorgeous men, yet neither held her attention like the male before her. She placed her hand in his, and felt he was still warm. Picking him up, she carried him in her arms, trying not to breath in his scent. His eyes never left hers, and she rushed through the forest and back to the Cullen's country house.
"Carlisle, Carlisle." She shouted as she crashed through the door, bringing it off its hinges. She dropped the boys body onto the chair, and rushed through the house in search. Finding the doctor, she explained everything that had happened, while showing him to the body.
"Emilia, you need to leave the room. If his scent is as tempting for you as you say, you won't want to be around while I try to fix him." Emilia looked down at the boys face, noticing his dimples. His skin was getting colder, and she knew Carlisle was right.
"Just save him Carlisle, Please?!" She said, rushing from the room, and the house as fast as she could. She didn't stop in till she was over a mile away. Then she took a soft breath. The scent had disappeared..

1955,
Los Angeles.
The songs belted out of the jukebox in the local diner. The diner was half empty that night, and Dave Rugen was finishing up his duties before heading off for home. The dark blanket of night was only just starting to fall over the LA skyline. Dave preferred the night, apart from the cold, it was always so quiet. The only sounds Dave heard was the moans of his victims as he ate from them.
Humming along to "Rock around the Clock", Dave smiled at the girls in the back booth. Everyday like clockwork the girls flocked into the diner that Dave worked in, all trying to win a date with him. He never took any home, too worried his cover would be blown if he did. Wouldn't look very good for him if his "fans" started disappearing, one by one. Even if he was tempted.
Instead Dave kept to forests, near the train station. It was close to his home, and he was able to go after dark. The best time for feeding. Preying on animals. Placing away his mop, he waved his goodbyes to the girls and headed out into the darkness. Saddling up on his motorcycle, his rode as human like as possible, till he was out of sight from the diner. Once he was on the highway, the motorcycle roared like a beast uncaged, and Dave was soon inside the forest. The moment he breathed, hoping to sense some animals to feed off, he stopped his cycle. That night he smelt something different to the usual forests scents, Six new scents. He readied himself for a fight, resting the motorcycle against the tree's. Heading deeper in the forest, he stumbled across two vampires eating a deer.
They turned to face him, their teeth glowing in the moonlight, hissing at him. Standing the brunette girl looked at him, smiling. She wiped the blood off her cheek, and held her hand out to grip Dave's.
"We apologize. We're not here for a fight, Dave. We just stopped for a meal." The girl leant her head backwards towards the half eaten deer. Out of the forests, the other four vampires appeared, standing behind the first girl.
Dave stood fiercely, still awaiting a fight, but he felt his mood change. Feeling calmer in the presence of the others, he didn't even hiss when the older of the vampires stood forward.
"Hello Dave, My names Carlisle. Is there, somewhere we can go and talk?" Carlisle said, holding his hand out to shake Dave's. Dave nodded and lead the way back to his house. Opening the door, he let the Cullen's into the house before him, then checking the coast, followed inside.
Dave stood, back against the door, as the one who had introduced himself as Carlisle spoke.
He introduced himself fully as Dr Carlisle Cullen, alongside him, his wife, Esme Cullen. Dave smiled at the female as she got introduced. Then Carlisle introduced their daughter, Alice Cullen. Dave walked to her, and kissed her hand. He heard a hiss from the male next to her, who was in turn introduced as Jasper Cullen, Alice's husband. Dave sighed that the cute, pixie like vampire was married, but turned his attention back to the brunette female that he'd encountered first.
"My name is Emilia, Emilia Cullen." She spoke. Carlisle shook his head, and sighed along with the other five. Dave found himself attracted to Emilia. Her long brunette hair, flowed effortlessly over her shoulders, and she seemed to measure up to Dave in height. He noticed her amber eyes, flickering with long dark eyelashes.
"And I, am Kellan Cullen. Emilia's husband." The final gent held his hand between Emilia's and Dave's, loosening her grip. Another married vampire, Dave sighed thinking to himself. Emilia's eyes never left Dave's statuesque body. She was fascinated by him. Alice had been right about him being good looking, Emilia thought to herself. She noticed a grin form on Dave's face.
"Thanks" He said, leaning in close to Emilia. Standing back, he took in each of the Cullen's. They seemed like friendly enough people, for vampires at least. Turning his attention back to Carlisle, he enquired what they wanted with him, and listened as they informed him.
