Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, just the books on my shelf.

This is my first real attempt at writing a FanFic, considering the others I just wrote for school projects. I'm really excited to hear what everybody thinks about it, because I don't even know what I think about it.

Like the summary says, this is just pure Edward POV fluff. I love Edward but I don't fully understand him so I decided to jump inside his head to figure him out. What I'm really working on is my descriptive writing and I hope you enjoy it.

Now, onward to...my preface of Another Beginning.

Preface

Forks, Washington had a total of 239 cloudy days on average in the year; this being tied for the cloudiest city in the entire United States of America to Astoria, Oregon. We already owned land in Forks, so we decided that would be the best place for us to live next. It was the perfect place for a house with seven vampires to live: the perfect lair. Of course, now we would have to attend school.

We hadn't been to school for good few years now. We'd been staying with our friends, the only other coven of vegetarian vampires, sisters Kate, Irina, and Tanya that lived in Denali, Alaska. Mates, Eleazar and Carmen also live with them, but whilst we stayed, they were on an extended trip to their beloved Spain. It felt nice to be free, not having to be in purgatory high school for another four years, then move again. But of course, we couldn't stay too long. Ten, never aging people with similar features such as skin tone and eye color was bound to become too conspicuous. We didn't want our "extended family" to have to move as well, so we decided to pack up and leave, and for that I was grateful. I loved Tanya and her sisters, but more like cousins, cousins that would be better left distant. Tanya could be a little overbearing. I was the first single, male vampire she had been around in a long time, so she definitely showed her interest in me. I refused her attempts to sway me, but in the most gentlemanly way possible. All and all, I was okay with moving again.

Rose, was of course bitching about it, while Emmett tried to sooth her that everything would be okay. Alice was excited at the prospect of meeting new people and making new friends, though we all knew that would be quite impossible. Jasper was worried that he might slip up again.

The last time we attended school, Jasper was in the bathroom trying to calm down from the craziness that was prom at Binghamton High School. He had locked the door, so no one could walk into the room why he waited out his panic attack. He was taking deep breaths to calm down when he noticed another presence in the room. The deep breaths stirred up that monster inside that had been begging for years to come back out. By the time Alice had undid the lock, the deed was done. Emmett and I busted out the window and ran out of that place too fast for any human to notice and hid the body out in the forest, far away from anywhere near Binghamton. We were back at the school before the dance was over, just so we could have been recognized by a couple teachers to make our alibi plausible, just in case. Carlisle quit his job at Binghamton General Hospital the next day, and we left the day after that.

We all felt incredibly sorry for Jasper, though it was somewhat expected. He had been part of the Vampire Wars of the South for such a long time, that he was bound to slip up. I hated to think that about my brother, but it was true. For years, centuries even, he kept his thirst quenched with human blood and then he was expected to take to animal blood and quit his previous diet cold turkey? Human's could barely do that when they changed their own lifestyle, and they had more variety of food. They slipped up every now and then, and felt guilty for awhile, but they got over it soon enough. Drinking human blood is only what is natural to our kind. We probably should be praised for showing such restraint to the delectable aroma, but that's not the case. Others think us to be crazy for what we do, save the human race one animal at a time and one patient at a time. Our family doesn't want to be monsters. We were brought up by Carlisle to believe that.

Nonetheless, Jazz still fretted about how he would handle himself, which started to take it's toll on the rest of the family. Sometimes he would let his emotions get the better of him and they would start projecting off him in waves. If you got within a ten foot radius of him, you would find yourself sucking your thumb or curling into a ball. This caught his attention, and more often than not, he would start laughing. This kept his mind occupied for a while, and we tried to keep it like that for as long as possible. Emmett would challenge him to a wrestling match or Alice would bring him along while shopping to distract him.

All this brought us back to Forks, Washington. We had lived there years ago, right after Carlisle had turned Emmett, before Alice and Jasper had "found" us. The natives on the reserve, the Quileute's, happened to transform into wolves to protect their land and their people. They found us hunting on their land and were immediately ready to attack. Carlisle, being the good-natured man he is, stopped them before they did and told them about our lifestyle. These "protectors" still didn't trust us. They believed we could slip up, which we could. So Carlisle and the leader of the pack, Ephraim Black, wrote up a treaty, stating where the boundary line of the Quileute Reserve was, and that we would not bite another human, as long as they kept our secret. Carlisle made two copies, everybody signing each. The natives kept one, while we held on to the other. I had no doubt in my mind that the mongrels at La Push kept that treaty sacred, and I'm sure Esme had it put in a frame or something ridiculous. It is a reason why we were all still living. I'm sure they would have fought us if Carlisle wasn't there. Five against three would have been risky to test. Not all of us would have survived, of that I was sure.

This didn't bother us though. We would still obey the treaty we signed years ago, and we hoped that they would too. The treaty would be void if they did first, but it wasn't like the wildlife on the reserve was much better than the wildlife in the mountains. On the contrary actually, the mountains had best hunt around, what with all the grizzlies and lions. It also wasn't as if we would ever bite another human. What human in Forks would make us want to change our diet?

I know that was a little boring, but it's the preface, the background stuff. I just thought you guys would want to know what happened before Edward moves to Forks. The actual chapters will have dialogue and whatnot. Please bear with me.

Okay my plan for this story is to update once or twice a week. I don't know for sure right now. It depends on how my schedule is. I have already written the second chapter, but I kind of haven't started the first one. You see, what I was going to do was just make a long one shot of Chapter 2 but Edward told me to write a whole story. I definitely don't want to get on his bad side so I complied. So I had to fix it up so it would fit into some kind of story. I already know the basics of what I'm going to for the next few chapters, but after that, it's a mystery to me.

Rant Over

So, did you like it or did you think it sucks and that I should give up? I'm really excited to hear what you guys think. Suggestions are welcome, Review Please. I might sing you an awesome song by the Killers or Muse (which might not be a good thing). =]

If you made it this far, Chapter 1 is simply Starting Out, Yet Again.
