Unlike Any Other
Okay, well I was trying to think of the next chapter of Retaliation since I already have the first chapter of the sequel (I'll explain in Retaliation) but I just couldn't get the transition the way I wanted it. I was in Study Hall and extremely bored so all of a sudden, I started to think of another story idea. I finished the first chapter before the end of the period and am working in the next one. These chapters aren't really chapters, more like intros to the Edward and Bella in this story since they are OOC. Let me know what you think of them.
Edward: Vampire EPOVI looked around my new apartment, buried in packing boxes. It was only the most recent of the hundreds of places Carlisle had sent me in the hopes of getting me to either meet someone or mature enough to stop using human girls for play toys and "showing off" as he called using my abilities. He wanted me to try to blend in and act like one of these predictable creatures. I knew that was never going to happen, so I enjoyed each new place to its extent and did whatever I wanted. To me, this was the life and I wasn't going to ever stop living it. The only restriction I had was the one I put on myself of not drinking human blood. I knew that crossing that final line would destroy Carlisle and, though Carlisle would forgive me, I respected Carlisle too much to disappoint him like that.
I was knocked out of my reverie by my brother Emmett, coming in the door to say goodbye. "I can't believe I'm stuck in a town that's not even on the map!" I exclaimed, "What am I supposed to do here?"
"I know this place seems small and all that, but who knows? You might just find something or someone worth your time." I could tell that Emmett doubted his own words.
"Let's here you say that and actually believe it." I challenged.
Emmett just laughed at my sarcasm and took my shoulders in his hands. "Okay, I'll admit that it would be a stretch. Seriously, though, try to behave; we miss you at home."
" I'll try" I said with grudging sincerity as a wave of melancholy swept through me. I was starting to miss everyone too.
It took an hour to unpack everything I had brought and to set it up, even at vampire speed. This included my wide screen, surround sound, pool table, game systems, and collection of every video game ever made that took up the entire wall of one side of the apartment. While not overly challenging, video games were one of the few human invention that could keep me interested for any length of time. Even still, I had also brought a high-tech computer that allowed me to make the games harder and somewhat challenging for me.
When I was done and there was nothing else to do, I went out to explore the land around the place I would be living in. I planned on exploring all night then running home to drive to my first day of school here the next day.
Right now, all I knew about this place was that it was called Forks, miles of forests surrounded it, and there was an Indian reservation on the coast near here that I couldn't trespass. I was bothered by the last part, but I would deal with that tomorrow. Right now, I wanted to find out what the land around here was like. I had spotted mountains on the drive here. If I was lucky, there might be some mountain lions nearby.
Either way, I had to find out what type of game lived around here. I also had to find something to kill and feed on because man was I hungry!
I smiled and actually meant it as he walked out the door. If I was honest with myself, hunting was one of the few things that actually brought me a little bit of happiness in my life. A life that, if I was honest with myself, was filled with denial and a desperate search for distractions to keep me from going crazy with loneliness.
