I woke up and remembered all the events from last night and looked down at my finger. I smiled. I was engaged to Edward Mason. I looked over at the clock and it was 10:00am. I jumped up. I had plans with Edward at 11:00am. I ran around getting ready and was ready just in time. The doorbell rang and I ran down stairs to let him in.
"Hello, Bella." Edward said with a big smile on his face. "Hello." I said excited to see him. We hugged and left to spend our day together. We went to the lake behind his house, we spend a lot of our time here, it's a beautiful place. "So how are you feeling?" Edward asked me. "Amazing." Was the only thing I could say.
He chuckled. "So your happy? You didn't feel pressured to say yes because everyone was watching?" He asked. I could tell he was scared I'd say I didn't want to marry him. "Of course not, I love you with all my heart; I'm so excited to be your wife." I said. I smiled so did he… "Wife." I said. "I like the sound of that." Edward agreed.
"And you don't think were too young?" He asked. "No, I don't… My parents were married at sixteen and had me at seventeen." I told him in assurance. We smiled and he kissed me. We laid by the lake but a while me in his arms. "So, when do you want to get married?" I asked excitedly. "As soon as possible." Edward said. "How about… 2 weeks?" I said and looked up at him. He smiled. "Perfect." He answered.
We planned the wedding down to every last detail and then Edward got sick with the Spanish Influenza. He was in the hospital for weeks. All our plans were cancelled. I never left his side. He was getting sicker and sicker. I wasn't allowed to visit around the second week of him being sick. Then it happened. Edward got weaker and weaker by the day. Edward passed, his Mother Elizabeth passing a few days before.
I was a zombie after that. My family didn't know what to do. I just sat by the lake all the time by myself, all day… walking home from the lake once, it was late at night around 10:00pm. A guy walked out in front of me. "Hello miss." He said. I looked down and tried to pass him. "You answer when someone speaks to you!" He spoke in a louder, sterner voice.
"I… I'm sorry" I said still looking down. He took my face in his hands. "Look at me then you talk to me!" He yelled. I flinched and tried to run away. His hands were ice cold, and he had red eyes. Then before I knew what was happening he bit me…
Burning… My veins were burning. For days I laid wherever I was in excruciating pain. It felt as if I was being burnt alive. I woke up three days later. I woke in the woods, and I could hear, smell and see everything a million times better. Like all my senses were heightened. "Miss." I heard from behind me.
I turned around and growled. Scaring myself by what I had down. He put his hands up in the air. "I'm Lucas, you can call me Luke, I found you on the side of the road… do you know what happened?" He asked. I thought back to that night. "I was… walking home and this guy attacked me… He bit me?" I said more like a question. My voice sounded different, smooth and bell like. He shook his head. "I'm so sorry this happened to you." He said.
"What's your name?" He asked. "Oh, sorry… I'm Isabella." I told him. "Isabella, you're a vampire… you can't go home, you're family have to believe you died." He said. I was confused. Vampires couldn't exist could they? "I know it's hard to believe." He said. "You can live with me. I don't feed on humans, I feed on animals… It's difficult to adjust but it's better than hurting people." He told me and motioned for me to follow him.
We got to his house and he explained everything else in great detail. He also told me his 'power'. Lucas could control peoples' senses such as sight, smell, hearing and even motion. Lucas has been alone since he was changed in 1902. He was/is nineteen. "I think we're going to be good friends Isabella." He said and smiled. His eyes were gold and his hair was a light brown. He was about 5'8 and skinny. He reminded me of Edward. He was wearing a white t-shirt, grey jeans and black boots. "Call me Bella." I said and smiled.
