Chapter 1
I awoke laying on a hard, cold surface, frightened and unaware of the darkness
that surrounded me. Something had changed, but what? I couldn't recall just a glimpse of
before. Nothing came into my memory. In fact, I had no memory at all, just darkness. All
that I know was that I could see again. I could pick out the most miniscule details. I
reached out to grab an unsuspecting insect off of a leaf, but dropped it faster than I had
picked it up. My movement shocked me. It had been so fast, so liquid. Not a movement
that any human could ever achieve.
Slowly as I could, I got up from my laying position on the cobblestone road, and
proceeded on my way through the narrow street. There was a certain itching in my throat
that had been present from since I woke up. I assumed that I was in need of hydration. I
continued down the street looking for water, any type of liquid.
I soon came upon an inn that was closed for the night. Lucky for me, they had
neglected the nightly cleanup rounds. Cups of ale were left on the tables in the yard.
"Yes…." I gasped before quickly rushing to the nearest table.
I placed a cup to my lips, eager for my parched throat to be soothed. I stopped
immediately. I was being drawn, as if by a string to an image in my mind. The first time I
saw his face, it was fate. In the image, he was smiling at me. We were so complete. And
yet, I hadn't a clue as to who he was.
"Jasper." I breathed.
I continued to watch and concluded that we were in a hotel bar. My thirst abruptly
cut the vision short and I downed the cup of ale.
"Ack!"
The ale didn't have a chance to slide down my rough throat, before I coughed it
up.
As the silence was broken, a light in the upstairs of the inn flashed on. I slithered
into the shadows as the owner of the inn stumbled out, half drunk. As he searched under
the tables, I began to think about why the ale didn't help at all. Truthfully, it tasted awful.
I left that place as quickly as I could and started running down the street and into
the woods.
The wind rushed past me, and I came to the conclusion that I was now something
else completely. I was flying through the trees at an alarming rate, looking for a stream
that would quench my thirst. I soon found a brook with rocky shores. Before thinking, I
flung myself into the shallow water and began to drink.
"Argh!"
The water came up the same as the ale.
Such confusion muddled my brain. I began to think that this 'new me' was a curse. What
had I done to deserve such a fate? Who was this boy in my mind? Why didn't I have a
single memory?
I was in such a state of confusion that I barely noticed the new vision that I was
having.
There were five of them, in an old white house. I instantly knew their names.
"Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Emmett, Rosalie…." I murmured.
I began to think about what these images meant and what they could mean. Was
this what I wanted, was it my future? I saw his face again and didn't care. I would find
this hotel and I would meet him there and we would begin our trek towards the,
"Cullens."
So this is my first Twilight story! Woot! Tell me what you think please. The next story will be up very soon, probably within the next two days.
