The Beginning of the End Part 2

1881

Edward had a huge smile on his face as he watched Elizabeth danced with her father. He turned slightly around to see the time on the clock. It was almost midnight. He decided to go to his study for a quick drink before he and Elizabeth would announced their engagement to the rest of the party. As soon as he got there; he noticed a red envelope on his desk. His name was on it; it was in Elizabeth's handwriting. So he opened the envelope and took the letter out to read. He started reading then his face turned into horror. He quickly dropped the letter and ran out of his study very quickly. He came back to the party but noticed that Elizabeth was gone.

Edward went quickly over to Fredrick; Elizabeth's father, to see if he seen Elizabeth. Fredrick told him what he already knew. Edward told some of the men to search the manor for Elizabeth while Frederick and Edward would go search for her in the gardens outside. Both men searched all over the Gracey Premises but no luck. Edward came back in front of the Garden's entrance waiting for Fredrick's return. A few minutes later; Fredrick appeared from the garden. He had a horrible look on his face; he was carrying a body; a young woman in a golden dress. The same dress Elizabeth was wearing.

"No please no" said Edward as he came closer and took a closer look. Edward dropped to his knees. Tears coming down his face.

Frederick fell to his knees and held on to his newly departed daughter. The next day they buried Elizabeth next to her mother. The next few weeks at the Gracey Manor was terrible; Master Gracey had completely lost his mind…Then one day one of the servants found Mr. Gracey's body hanging in the attic, with a note saying that he couldn't live without his beloved Elizabeth. Because of both lovers' deaths; it caused the whole manor to be curse. The newly departed dead couldn't find the light and now were stuck in Limbo until the curse was broken.

Meanwhile….

Elizabeth woke up in somebody's bed. In somebody's house. And it wasn't Gracey Manor.

"Good your awake." said the gorgeous man with golden eyes.

"Who are you?" questioned Elizabeth.

"My name is Carlisle Cullen and you must Elizabeth Henshaw." he said pulling a chair next to the bed.

"How did you know who I am, Mr. Cullen?" questioned Elizabeth as she noticed that she felt different then before, her sight was quite better then before; so has her hearing.

"I seen you in town with Edward several times." he said.

"What's happening to me?" she asked as she tried to fight the burn in her throat.

"You must be thirsty let me take you somewhere safe to hunt." he said getting up from the chair.

"Hunt? What have I become?" she questioned.

Carlisle looked down at her with sadness in his golden eyes.

"You become what I am, Elizabeth, you're a vampire."

Elizabeth was horribly shocked...

Several months had passed on since Elizabeth's awakening, and she and Carlisle became good friends. Elizabeth told him everything about her life, about her beloved Edward. And he told her about his life in England and how he was turned.

It was now time for them to move. Time to start a new life for a couple of years. Carlisle took Elizabeth to Gracey Manor one more time the night before so she can say her goodbyes.

"Oh my beloved Edward; I will miss you so much. I hope you live the rest of your life with somebody who desires you; who can bare you children." she looked down in misery. Carlisle put his hand on her shoulder.

"Goodbye Father; I hope you enjoy the rest of your life without Me." she said quietly as she and Carlisle jumped off the walls and both vampires disappeared into the dark night.
