Heartbreaker
Sorry about this first chapter, it's just laying down the foundations, it should get interesting next chapter, hopefully…
Chapter 1
BPOV
Nice. I stare at my reflection and can't help the triumphant grin that is spread across my face. I'm beautiful and that makes me feel so powerful, I wish I could go back to my past and...
My dark hair waves down to my lower back, longer than when I was human and now sported highlights of lighter browns, black and auburn so that it's difficult to say what colour my hair actually is. I've also grown a few inches from the transformation, this growth is matched by the development of curves I didn't use to have. But what strike me the most are my eyes. I have the same gold as all 'vegetarians' but they had flecks of my natural eye colour around the pupil, the mixture of light gold and dark brown is truly unique.
My beauty is the greatest payback in the world, it's my form of continuity.
"Bella get your ass down here!" Alice's voice rings out from the kitchen below. I growl back in response, I don't know why she yells when I can hear her whispering. Crazy pixie. I race off down stairs to sit at the dining table for a 'family' meeting with my 2 'sisters'. Rosalie and Alice are already seated, impatiently tapping their feet. Both of them are my best friends, they were the ones to save me when I was turned 50 years ago huddled in a ball screaming in pain. Alice saw us becoming sisters and the best of friends from the start all though Rosalie took a bit of warming up. It didn't help that she hated me for being more beautiful than her, but eventually we really became a family.
I know I could have used my power on her to assist the process, but if we were to really become family, our bond had to be natural. My power has to do with the bonds people have with each other. In terms of humans, I just uncontrollably draw them in, like honey does bees, which can be a real pain if you know what I mean. For vampires however, I can change entire relationships. It's really draining to use though, so mainly I just slightly manipulate them.
I sit down gracefully into a chair at our round table, which is only used on such occasions, and smile.
"So we're here to discuss our next step yes?" I ask innocently.
"Yes, Bella" Rosalie says, nearly menacingly. "We have to move again, because you couldn't help but flirt with the mayor, the freaking mayor Bella. Talk about non low profile. Geez, we get that you can't help their attraction to you but you're practically a succubus, minus the sex part."
She did not just call me a succubus! But then again, I can't help but acknowledge some of it as truth. So I just sigh and mumble a quick apology. I truly was sorry, I know I am a bit overly flirty, but how else am I to prove I'm not the ugly pathetic girl that people used to kick around anymore. Being meek and mild cost me my 1st chance at life, why would I risk my 2nd?
Alice and Rosalie looked at me with pitying looks on their faces, before each grabbed one of my hands.
"Don't worry Bella. You know we'd do anything for you, our baby sister." Alice says before pinching my cheeks, which I respond to with a growl. "Well? It's your turn to pick, where are we going?"
Hmmm, I forgot it was my turn to pick, YAY! A million different possibilities flash through my head and the rapid succession look to be giving Alice a headache as each possible future flashes in her mind. So she squeezed my hand tighter and shrieked "For fucks sake Bella, slow down or make up you mind!". I chose the latter. London would be chic and busy, Sydney would be relaxing and fun, but then again, maybe we should head to a small town for a change. I went over to the computer and checked for the town with the highest number of overcast days a year in the continental US and came up with Forks, Washington. Decision made.
"You are so weird Bella, Forks, could you have chosen a more obscure town?" Rosalie muttered rolling her eyes. Looking at the map she added, "Well, at least its close enough to Seattle and is near a slightly larger town called… Port Angeles for shopping.".
Now for our preparations. We took an entire day to buy ourselves a new home, register ourselves in a new school and get our selves illegal new identities. We kept our first names and chose our favourite last name: Cullen, which we have used twice before over the last 50 years. It then took another day to handle the logistics of physically moving and packing our things. All in all, by Friday we couldn't have been happier to be driving to the airport to fly to Seattle.
Stepping out of our car, with tinted glass windows, we strode by quickly, ignoring the awed murmurings and collective gasps, to check in. An hour later we were all sitting in first class, all three of us thrumming with excitement. I then saw Alice freeze momentarily and her eyes glazed over. She was having a vision.
What'd you think? This is sort of an experimental story cuz im having abit of writers block for my other story. Please review and tell me if you think it's worth continuing.
Thanks, Mir
