Chapter One: Not Who I Used To Be

Life had been a hassle. More specifically, the last five years have been a hassle.

My name is Bella and yes, just Bella. I've been a vampire for almost five years now. I'm not sure who changed me or who I was before. The only reason I know my name is Bella is because whoever changed me left me a note. This note had burned a whole in my leg for the last five years. Every day, I take it out about a hundred times. Reading and re-reading the simple lines.

Bella. We're even.

It has haunted me in so many ways. More way than I would like to admit. Whoever changed me, must have known me, my family, and quite possibly, even my friends.

I woke up in the middle of a meadow in some town named Forks. It was late September. Once I woke up from the three days of excruciating pain, I knew what I was. And it wasn't just a theory; I knew. I had no idea how I knew, but I knew I was a vampire. I'm sure if I really would have wanted to know who I was before I became what I am today, I could have just stayed and done some digging. Unfortunantely I was so scared and confused, I ran. I ended up in LA. Come to find out, I still knew how to do pretty much everything. I even could sing along to songs I had known. But I still couldn't remember who I was. I never drank human blood. I depended solely on animals from the start. I didn't know why exactly, but I felt this tug, or opinion on the matter. There was never a question to what I would "drink". I bet it's not every day you meet a vampire with morals. I also realized quickly that I was... different. First, blood lust was never an issue for me, and second, I still looked, well, human. I can blush, and tan, and even my eye color has stayed the same. Well, kind of. When I'm thirsty, my eyes become a very dark brown, like chocolate, but when I'm not, it's more of pecan brown, lighter. After a few months, I met Kaya (pronounced: Ki-ya). She was a vegetarian vampire, just like me. She explained that she had been a vampire for almost two-hundred years. She was born in India, changed at twenty-one, and had moved here fifty years ago. She was beautiful; tall with long, dark brown, wavy hair. She then went on to tell me of her coven. There were two others, Braden and Lilly. Braden is Kaya's husband. She met him about a hundred years ago in England. They fell in love, got married and moved to the States fifty years later. Thirty years ago, they found Lilly and saved her from a horrid death. I have still yet to know what exactly happened. It's kept quiet. Kaya introduced me to her family and they took me in. I even took their last name, Tate. Five months later, I was working a local restaurant. One night, I was cleaning up and listening to my iPod. A man came up to me and asked how long I had been singing. I still remember that day perfectly.

FLASHBACK

"Excuse me? Miss?" A man tapped me on the shoulder.

I took the headphones out of my ears and turned to him.

"How long have you been singing?" He asked me.

"What?"

"How long have you been singing?"

"I…I don't sing. Only for fun." I stuttered, totally confused as to what was going on.

He chuckled, "With a voice like that you should be paid!"

"You're kidding right?" I asked flatly.

"Not at all! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Alex Conner. I am the VP of Columbia Records." He smiled and held out his hand.

I shook it slowly, trying to process what was going on. He looked at me as if he was waiting for me to speak.

"Oh…um…I'm Bella. Bella Tate."

"Well, Bella Tat., the music industry is in need of new sound and I think you might just be it."

"Me? I can't. I've never…" I trailed off, shaking my head.

"Here's my card. If you're interested, give me a call. We can record a demo. See what happens." He smiled and handed me a card.

He turned to leave but stopped, "Bella Tate. Now that's a name I can see in lights."

I blushed and looked down.

END of FLASHBACK

I contemplated what I should do for a few days after that.

"You should so do it! That would awesome. Think of all the shopping we would need to do!" Lilly gushed.

Lilly reminded me so much of someone. But of course, every time I tried to figure out who that someone was, my mind came up blank.

"Ya know I do play the drums," Braden announced.

"And I play the guitar," Kaya added. "Plus, if you became famous, you could persuade people into caring about their carbon foot print more."

Ah Kaya. My lovely little tree hugger.

"Okay, let's take a vote," I had declared.

They all yelled 'yes'.

I called Mr. Conner and set a date to come record a song.

Since I was super new at this he just had me pick my favorite song for the demo.

"The main purpose for this is to convince Mr. Barnett that you're fresh and new." Alex explained.

Mr. Barnett was the President of Columbia Records.

I ended up performing my favorite song at the time, 'Giving Up' by Ingrid Michaelson.

Once I finished singing everyone was clapping and hooting.

I remember blushing at the newfound attention.

After that, my career sky-rocketed. My songs have topped the charts many times in the last three years. Kaya and Braden were put into my band and I found out I was good at writing songs. All of my songs were about the loss of love and how great it is to be in love. I know there had to be a reason for my inspiration but as usual, I didn't know. Over the last few years, I have had many break downs. But my family is always there to comfort me and insist that most human memories fade. I had remembered hearing that before but the feelings I had when I wrote were so strong that I knew it couldn't have just been some childish crush. Knowing that, killed me even more and made me pull out the note over and over again.

"Bella!" I heard Lilly yell.

"What? Huh?" I asked, snapping out of my trance.

"Your show starts in an hour and you are still not dressed! What have you been doing in here?"

I sheepishly looked down and motioned to the paper.

"Writing more songs?"

"Yes. They just flow. I wish I knew who they are about." I said sadly.

Lilly embraced me and spoke into my ear, "Someday you'll figure it out."

"Right," I said sarcastically.

She smiled, "Well you still have a show so get changed!"

"Yes, ma'am," I saluted.

I changed into my black leggings, lavender baby doll dress, and Uggs.

Tonight marked the start of my first tour. A band called Forever Young was opening up for me. They were newer but had one hit, Chasing Cars. I was surprised I knew that truthfully. I rarely notice any other music than my own.

I took a deep breath and walked from my dressing room.

So this first chapter is pretty much an introduction. Edward will be in the next chapter. Can anyone guess how?

Please review and let me know if I should even continue!

Thanks so much,

Sarah
