Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything from Twilight!

A – Abactor: The first time the redheaded vampire ran into the mind-reading vampire in the woods, the first words out of her mouth were sarcastic to show her distaste over his eating habits. "I never thought I'd run into a vampire who fed from animals before. I bet you love farms; it's like an all you can eat buffet for you. Were you an abactor during your human life?"

B – Basic: When the bronze-haired vampire ran into a nomad he'd never seen before, he couldn't help but follow her. It was almost as if his basic vampire instincts had taken over the rational part of his mind. He was compelled to follow the one with hair like flames and eyes to match. She was calling out to him without even realizing it. For the first time in his never-ending life, Edward decided to give in to monster inside of him and follow his basic instincts.

C – Cornered: Victoria had to admit that Edward Cullen could be intimidating when he wanted to be. He happened to be extremely intimidating when he had her cornered against a brick wall in one of the many dark alleys of Seattle. If she had a heartbeat, it would be thumping loudly in her chest no doubt.

"What do you want?" she demanded, processing their position and the many different ways she could escape him if she needed to.

Edward let his black, hungry eyes roam over her form. "To talk. I figured I'd have to hunt you down for that to happen; you seem to run whenever I get close and I wasn't going to let it happen again."

D – Death: In death there is truth. Edward had never understood the saying until he met the redheaded vampire woman who went by the name of Victoria. He had never met anyone like her before, which is one of the reasons he found her so fascinating to begin with. She had this way of stating the truth and making you listen to it whether you wanted to or not. She was blunt and independent and Edward was attracted to that, even if he did not understand it.

E – Emblazed: Victoria had never been one to soak in her emotions. The truth of the matter was she hated human feelings and did whatever she could to avoid dealing with them. It was Edward Cullen who changed everything. Wherever she turned, he was there, trying to charm her. The redheaded vampire did everything she could to resist him, but there was just something about him that emblazed everything inside of her, and he knew it.

"I hate you!" she hissed, narrowing her eyes at the bronze-haired male. "Is that not enough of a hint?"

Edward shot her a lopsided smile. "Hate is a passionate emotion. I'd rather you hate me than feel nothing, because it means there's chance it'll grow into something more and hopefully something positive. There's a fine line between love and hate, or haven't you heard?"

F – Friends: Edward had been hunting in the woods when he stumbled upon the only vampire he knew with flame-red hair. She was sitting by a small stream just staring at the water, as if it somehow held the answers to all the inquiries of life. Not wanting to bother her, but not yet ready to leave, the mind-reader found himself sitting down next to her.

"When I was with James, I thought that I knew who I was and where I belonged." Her voice was a mere whisper, but considering they had superhuman hearing, it didn't really matter. "As the years passed, I began to feel lost. Of course James didn't understand why I felt that way and it angered him when I couldn't answer when he asked me why." Victoria turned to him, a small smile tugging up the edges of her lips. "Then I met you, and everything changed. For the first time in my long and endless life, I had met someone who came to mean something to me." Her expression turned confused. "What do you think that means?"

Edward ran his fingers in his hair before speaking. "Well, in my limited experience, I think it means that we're friends."

Victoria frowned slightly as she thought it over. "I've never had a friend before; it could be a nice change of pace."

G – Gun: If the mind-reading vampire had been human, he would have probably had a heart attack when he saw Victoria. His fiancée had claimed boredom was making her insane, and because he loved her, Edward had agreed to do anything she wanted. In hindsight, that probably wasn't the best idea he ever had.

"You know, I can see why humans enjoy this so much," she stated before pulling the trigger of the handgun she'd swiped from the police station. "It's kind of a rush, sort of reminds me of our own bloodlust. If someone pointed this gun at your heart and fired, if you were human, you'd die. Gun owners hold people's lives in their hands when they choose to shoot someone. Not so much for me, though, since I know you're bulletproof."

"I think that's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me," he teased before he heard a loud pop! and then the slight pressure over his heart as the bullet smashed against his diamond hard skin and hit the ground. "I'm glad that I could do something to help entertain you, though I do wish it didn't involve a gun. I cannot stand such barbaric weapons. It's funny if you think about it; we kill because we have to, and humans kill for the fun of it, butwe're the monsters?"

H – Hymn: Edward had just gotten home from school and went looking for Victoria. Victoria refused to attend school even now that she was a part of the Cullen family. He found her upstairs in their room and she was looking out the window while humming a tune he had heard a few times. It was an old hymn his mother used to sing to him when he was a child.

"I used to sing this to my younger sister whenever she was having a nightmare or a bad day," she reminisced wistfully upon hearing him enter, though she did not turn. "The last time I ever had the chance to sing it to her was the night James came and tore her throat out. I thought for sure he was going to do the same to me, but no, instead he made me this. The worst part was, the entire three days I was changing, he would sing that song and describe how he tortured her and all of my other family members."

That conversation bothered Edward for days, and he knew he needed to do something to make Victoria happy. It took less than two days for him to complete the music box covered with pictures he'd drawn of her sister, and opened it would sing the same song the redhead often hummed. Every night from that point on, the couple would share a dance in the privacy of their room to the song as it came from the box.

AN: So this is the first part to my ABC guide of Edward and Victoria which was requested. It will be three parts and as soon as my beta reader edits the other two I promise to put them up. I want to thank all my readers for being so patient with my health issues and how it takes me longer to update. The good news is my aunt may be a match to give me half of her liver so I am hoping it happens and soon then I can get back to doing what I love without feeling worn out afterwards. Anyways, as always I would love to hear what you think of this.

Please R&R like always!
