Disclaimer: Still don't own the twilight saga... I never will…
I own Mark and some mysterious person you will see in the future of this story :D
Haha... The brands you see here are not mine… so... Just read and review! Please? :D
Mark's POV"Mark, how did you become a vampire?" Carlisle asked out of the blue.
"Well, It's a long story..."
"Don't worry, I have the time."
I hesitated to speak. I mean, I only knew him for an hour! But he and his family could only be the only people I could trust. When he came, I felt something. Compassion. Something I haven't felt in a long time.
"I was born in Volterra, hence the name. We moved here in the States a few months after I was born. My mother was a doctor and my father was a surgeon. We were a well off family. I was always an honor student, I never disappointed my parents. I was also a jock. I played Basketball, Swimming, Baseball and my specialty, Track and field. Until then, I thought my life was perfect, but my life took a turn for the worst. My parents died in a car accident. It was so hard for me at that time. I was only 12 then. My only legal guardian was my mother's sister, Aunt Graciela. I had to move in with her, and then she turned my life into a living hell. She treated me like a slave, and I had to work at stores to get my allowance. My parent's money would be mine when I'll be 18, but she wouldn't allow it. She wanted to steal my parent's money. So one day, I was offered a scholarship in a boarding school out of country. She never allowed it, saying it was a waste of time, and that I was too stupid that eventually I would get kicked out. I couldn't put up with her anymore, so I packed my bags and lived in a dorm my father's friend owned. He was like my uncle. He and his wife treated me like a son. I lived there until now. I was doing my usual routine, delivering things for people. I was finished early so I thought I'd jog around town for a while. I was jogging until I got lost near the woods. I was frantic. I panicked, until I saw someone. I was scared, so I Tried to run as far as my legs could carry me. When I thought that I'd lost him, I stopped. Then I was knocked behind my head with something, probably a brick. I was unconscious. I woke up and saw a man there. I thought that I was dead. He looked like a supermodel, an angel even! But he had blood-red eyes. I was too terrified to fight back. Then he bit my neck. I was under excruciating pain. Then he stopped. He sniffed in the air, like a dog. He was muttering something. Something about other vampires. Something about him being discovered by the Volturi. So he fled the scene and left me, dying. Then you came along. "
"So, that's your story?" Carlisle asked. "I guess you're one of us now then. All of us didn't have a choice. We're stuck like this forever."
"What do you mean forever?" I asked.
"We're stuck in our bodies forever." Esme answered meekly.
"We'll never grow old?" I was surprised. I'm stuck in this body. I stared at my arm, it used to be full of bruises, but they weren't visible anymore. But the memories were still there. My aunt physically abused me almost every time I came home from my part-time job.
"You good for nothing brat! You should have died with your parents!"
"A scholarship? You'll just waste four years with those snobby brats! Besides, you'll just probably flunk out of there. You're not useful anywhere. Maybe that's why your parents left you."
.
"We're frozen in this state. We can't change who we are. It's hard to believe, but it's true." Jasper said.
I stared at the rearview mirror, my eyes were blood red. I remembered the vampire who wanted to kill me. I shuddered.
"My eyes! Did you put contacts or something?"
"Umm, no. Don't worry, it will fade eventually." Jasper said.
"Why are your eyes golden?"
"Well, the animal blood dilutes the redness." Carlisle said.
"That's disgusting!" I winced.
"Call it what you want, but you can either starve to death or drink blood." Jasper shrugged.
"Ugh." This is going to be hard.
"Well, its early morning, we're nearly in our new home." Carlisle tried to lighten the mood. Then a feeling of calmness surrounded us. I couldn't fight it, so I relaxed, not knowing what was happening.
A few hours later, Carlisle pulled in in front of a giant mansion. The others were there before us.
"Oh. My. Fricking. God. We're going to live in this mansion?" Rosalie was staring at the house.
I looked at it. It was HUGE! It was like living in Hollywood. It was a townhouse, four stories high. A huge garage was adjoining it.
"Well, let's not stand here outside, shall we?" Edward said, chuckling at Bella's expression.
I followed the others inside my new home. I smiled to myself. Finally, somewhere I can finally be myself.
Bella's POVOh my god…Our new house was enormous!
I stared at it as I leaped out of Alice's Porsche.
"If you think this is huge, you haven't seen the house we lived in during the 40's" He whispered in my ear. Suddenly, he lifted me and carried me into the house, bridal-style.
"Is this necessary Edward?"
"You are only my wife, after all."
"You are so messed-up Edward. But that's why I love you." I kissed him on his lips. He kissed me back. At least we had no more restraints.
"Aww, the lovebirds are making out in the porch. How romantic." Emmett said, sarcastic.
"Shut up Emmett! Don't make me kick your butt again!" I screamed at him.
"Sheesh. Chill Bella!" He rolled his eyes.
Rosalie hit him with her clutch bag. "At least Edward has a sense of romance in him, you big lug." She made her way up the stairs into her room.
"Rose, Come on!" He was following her up the stairs.
The perfect example of a lover's quarrel.
Edward set me on the ground, kissing my forehead softly.
Edward turned to Mark, sitting on the couch.
"Hello Mark, I'm Edward. " Edward introduced himself.
He answered back with a weak smile.
"Don't worry, you can trust us, we won't hurt you."
He looked at Edward. It was like a movie scene. Edward was the big brother who gave some kind of advice to his little bro.
"Thanks, Edward. " His smile was a bit brighter this time.
"Come on Bella, let's go to our rooms." He grabbed my waist and we made our way up the stairs.
" Oh and Mark?" He turned back to him.
"Yeah?"
"Change your shirt. It literally has your blood, sweat and tears on it."
We made our way up the stairs and into Edward's room.
His room had red wall-to-wall carpeting. A shelf full of old records and music cds covered one wall. Beneath it was another shelf; it was full of books, ranging from classics to textbooks he used. In the middle was the bed we had in our former bedroom.
He jumped on the bed, and then kicked off his shoes. He sat up, then patted the space next to him, signaling me to sit next to him. I sat down, and rested my head on his shoulder. He ran his fingers through my hair, then kissed my head.
"Nice room. Fully furnished." I noted.
" I know. The movers did a good job with this."
"What happened to your hundred year's worth of journals?"
"It's here." He stood up and pulled a box under the bed. "See?"
" I wonder, what in the world did you do with those journals? "
" Reviewers, notes, my deepest, innermost thoughts that no one except me should ever know…"
"Why did you stop writing in journals?"
"Well, you might think it's cheesy and totally corny."
"I know that. I won't laugh, I promise."
"It's because, well, those journals were a product of my loneliness. I mean, Carlisle had Esme, Emmett had Rose, Jasper had Alice, and I had no one. I kept on writing what I felt, always about loneliness, that I was cursed for eternity. It felt like I was empty. But all that changed when I met you Bella. You were the reason why I felt whole again."
He held my hand in his, kissing my hand softly.
"Edward, that was so cheesy, and that's what I love about you." I smiled.
"I love you Bella."
"So do I."
"You love Bella too?" He teased.
"Shut up Edward, you know what I mean."
He leaned in to kiss me, but a voice interrupted us.
"Hey you two! Get down here! Carlisle's calling for us!"
Obviously Alice.
"Let's go down before Alice drags us down there." Edward said with a smile.
"Oh no! Anything but that!" I pretended to look shocked.
"You always were a lousy actress. Come on!" He grabbed my hand and we hurried down the stairs.
When we got to the living room, we plopped on the new leather loveseat in front of the T.V.
"Alright, it seems that everyone's here. " Carlisle said.
"What's up dad? " Edward asked.
"Well, since Mark's with us, we have to get our story straight before you register for school."
"We already thought of something, but we had to make sure you approved of it." Esme added.
" Let's hear it dad!" Emmett said.
"Okay, Emmett, Bella and Nessie, you'll be the Swans. Emmett you're the eldest of them all."
"Nice! Bella's my little sis now!" Emmett was grinning.
"Right. If you ever boss her around, I'll kick your sorry little ass out of here, understand?" Edward told him.
"Of course! "
"And if you boss Nessie around, I'll be the one to kick your ass, Emmett!" I said to him.
"I sure hope you do Bella. That big oaf needs to be taught a lesson." Rose said with a smile.
"Sure Rose." I smiled.
"Thanks a lot Rose!" Emmett groaned.
"No problem, Emmie." Rose replied. I snorted.
"As I was saying, Edward, Alice, Mark, you'll be Cullens." Carlisle continued.
"Yay!" Alice said, jumping up-and-down.
"Stop it Alice, it might cause an earthquake." Edward teased her.
"Shut up Edward!" She threw a pillow at him.
"Too slow." He caught the pillow before it hit his face. He smiled.
"Okay, moving on. Rosalie and Jasper are still the Hale twins. Is it okay with everyone?"
Carlisle asked.
"Sure!"
"Great!"
"No problem!"
"Okay, well, you're free to go explore the place." Carlisle said." Except the backyard! There's a construction site at the back."
I neared Renesmee.
"Hey, Nessie. You hungry?"
"Yup!"
"Come on! Your dad and I'll cook something for you. Wait for a few minutes, 'kay?"
" 'kay mom!"
I went in the kitchen, and prepared the ingredients.
"So, what are we cooking tonight?" Edward asked.
"Fish Fillet in Soy sauce."
"Must be delicious. Come on let's get moving!"
In a few minutes, the meal was done.
"Yummy!" Renesmee was finished in 5 minutes.
"Compliments to the chef!" She laughed.
"And the chefs thank you back." Edward replied. We all laughed.
"Come on Nessie, Get some sleep." I said to her
"Aww…"
"Get moving!"
"Fine." She pouted.
After she went to her room, I went to mine. It was just as big as Edward's. A Queen sized bed in the corner, A Shelf for my books and other stuff, a couch and a table. Then, Obviously Alice's idea, a huge walk-in closet was found in the left part of the room.
I went inside the closet, hoping to find a simple nightgown. The closet was bigger than the one in our cottage!
"Are you lost, love?" Edward's voice surprised me.
"Not yet, no."
"How about letting me find something for you again?"
"Be my guest. It would take me a week just to find a simple nightgown."
He simply laughed then smelled the plastic dress bags slowly. He stopped on one and pulled it from the rack. He zipped it open and pulled the dress out of the bag.
" A blue satin nightgown."
"Not bad, Edward."
"Well, Mrs. Cullen, your room or mine?"
"Edward, you're such a pervert."
"What? I thought we would have a movie marathon tonight?
You said you wanted to have one right? Em, Rose, Jazz, Alice, Carlisle and Esme are also watching, remember?"
"Oh." I smiled sheepishly at him. "I forgot. Sorry."
"Bella, You are so…"
"Stupid?"
"Cute when you get embarrassed like that. It's sad that you can't blush anymore. That would have been better." He smiled.
"Edward, I would have liked to see you with green eyes too. I wonder how you would have looked like?"
"I would have looked like a normal human being, duh?"
"A handsome, sexy one at that." I said with a laugh.
"Alright, my room then." He smiled that crooked smile I loved.
"Fine, but let me change first!"
"I'll be waiting for you there."
"Of course you will, or else I'll track Jacob down and ask if he would be willing to take me back again."
"Of course you would." He laughed.
He left the room and closed the door behind him. I sighed then changed quickly.
I went inside his room.
"Edward you in there?"
"Bella!"
"What's up with you? It's like you haven't seen me in a decade!"
"Oh, nothing. I just missed you is all."
"Edward, I'm in the next room beside you. You could have knocked it down in a single punch."
"I know. So?"
"So what?"
"Nothing."
"Edward, you are so strange sometimes."
"I know."
"Anyway, where are the others?"
"They're coming, it's just, the themes for the movies are vampires…"
"So?"
"You're not scared?"
"Why would I be? It's just full of made-up crap about vampires."
"Oh, I thought you'd just be freaked out or something about the sight of blood."
"I can see it, but I can't smell it, so it's no problem Edward."
"Oh, that's a relief." He smiled.
"You acted strange just because of that? That's so you Edward."
The other's entered the room, each wearing pajamas, but making it look like some new fashion trend that's about to sweep the country.
"Hey Bells, Edward" Emmett greeted.
"Bella!" Alice said with joy. She sat next to me on Edward's bed.
"Alright, everyone in!" Carlisle said.
"Let's start already!" Rose said impatiently.
We watched Vampire movies, some gory, some funny.
From Interview with a vampire to Queen of the damned, we watched until the break of dawn.
"Okay people! I'll have to make breakfast for Renesmee, so out of my room please!"
Edward said.
Reluctantly, everyone went out of the room, except me and Edward of course.
"I loved Interview with a vampire, Brad Pitt was so hot!"
"Ouch, Bella. You mean I'm not hot? Besides, the lost boys totally rocked!"
"Edward, you're being silly, you're not hot, you're handsome, sexy, cool and cold. Jacob's the flaming hot one." I retorted.
"Ugh, Bella. I didn't mean that literally." He rolled his eyes.
"I know that, silly boy!" I kissed him on his neck and dashed down the stairs.
"Bella, come back here!" He shouted in his room." I'm not finished with you yet!"
I dashed into the kitchen but something grabbed me from behind.
"Too slow Bella." He smiled, his arm wrapped around my neck.
"Fine, you win this round, Mr. prettyboy." I surrendered.
"But please let me go, I have to make breakfast!"
He released me then grabbed my wrist and made a dash for the kitchen.
"I'll make a tuna omelet today." Edward decided.
"Fine, we'll make one."
"No, I'll make one. Relax for now, I have a surprise for you later."
"Fine Edward."
I went back to my room and changed. After that I stomped down the stairs, into the living room.
I sat on the couch in the living room, staring blankly on the TV.
"Hey mom! What's up?" Nessie asked.
"Dad's making breakfast today."
"About time! You deserve a break mom!"
"But-"
"No buts mom! You deserve a break today!"
"Fine…" I said stubbornly.
Are they conspiring against me or what?
"Nessie! Breakfast's ready!" Edward was yelling in the dining room.
"Mom, just relax today please? Dad has a surprise for you later."
"Okay, fi- wait a minute. How did you know about that?"
"Umm... Dad's calling! Bye mom!" She smiled then ran to the dining room before I could say another word.
Edward came inside the room a few minutes later and sat beside me. His beige sweater emphasized the muscles on his chest.
"So, Bella. Ready for your surprise?" A sly grin spread across his face.
"You're freaking me out Edward. So what is it?"
"That's why it's a surprise!"
"Ugh…"
"Fine, come here." He pulled me into the garage. His hands covered my eyes, making it hard to see.
"Wha-?"
"Behold, your new car!"
I stared at it. It was my old truck! Not exactly my old truck, but it was the same make as my old truck. I took a closer look and saw that it was newly painted, newly furnished, newly EVERYTHING!
"So, you like it?"
"I love it! How did you find one like this?"
"Oh, somewhere…."
"Thank you Edward!"
"That's not the best part. We're going somewhere special today. "
"The mall?"
"No! " He rolled his eyes. "Somewhere better. Which car do you want me to use?"
"My Chevy!"
"Okay, whatever you want." He smiled.
We got in the car and Edward sped away from the garage.
"Edward, where are we going?"
"Somewhere. You'll love it! I promise."
He pulled over on a clearing in the entrance of the forest.
"You don't mind if we ran, do you?"
"By all means, be my guest." I laughed.
"Ladies first, mademoiselle." He smiled.
We ran until Edward grabbed my wrist and locked me in his arms.
"Bella, do you want to go sightseeing in Canada or do you want to see my surprise?"
He teased.
"Surprise please." I smiled.
"Come on Bella!"
He pulled me gently and walked into a façade of flowers and trees. The trees were shaped like an arc, like a doorway into a special place.
I looked around; it looked like our meadow in Forks.
"So Bella, you like it?"
I was speechless. My memories of the meadow in Forks would always hold a special place in my heart.
"I'll take that as a yes."
I sat down on the luscious green grass, still looking around in disbelief.
Edward laid down, staring at the clouds. A smile etched on his beautiful smooth face.
"Edward, I don't know how to thank you." I laid next to him, my hand on his chest.
"Bella, you just being here, that's the best gift you can give me."
We stared at the clouds in the sky. I never wanted to let him go, not now, not ever.
His velvet voice humming my lullaby in my ear made it one of the best memories I'll ever have, but every time I was with Edward was a perfect memory for me.
Hey! End of second chapter! I wanted to make it longer, but that would mean no more suspense right? Anyway, I'm starting the third chapter, since there is absolutely NOTHING to do during summer……..
Please review, if it sucks, I won't add anymore chapters to the story…
Haha...Just kidding.
But really… Tell me if I made typo's again…or if it's a boring story or whatever..
Review people! Thank you! :D
