1David's Point Of View

I sighed, dragging my feet along the boardwalk, this was going to be just another boring night. You would be surprised at how boring spending every night of your life in the same place would be.

"David!" I wheeled around, finding my younger sister not ten feet behind me. Megan was fourteen, and not one of us, I never wanted her to be one of us. When our parents died about four years ago, she was only ten. It was my love for her that made me what I am today, that forced me to become what I am. I stopped walking and she trotted up next to me.

"David, I need money." I rolled my eyes.

"Why does this not shock me, how much?" She smiled a heart warming smile.

"20, that's it." I smirked, watching her for another moment before reaching into my pocket and handing her a 20.

"Thanks David, you rock." That was all she said before she turned and ran off, joining with her friends again.

I scanned the boardwalk, walking along in the shadows, unnoticed. That's when I saw them, a pale brown haired boy with a tan brown haired girl, their hands locked together. I followed them, watching the boy closely. There was something about him I was unsure of, and I wanted a closer look. I watched as the girl skipped off to wait on the end of a line while he walked over to the railing of the boardwalk.

I walked at a steady pace to his side. I paused, taking in his appearance. His brown hair was disheveled, spiked up on his head. His eyes were a honey color, golden. His skin was pale, not average pale, but pale like my own skin. I didn't hear a heart beat coming from him, only the steady sound of his breathing. He wore a like grey long sleeved shirt and a pare of blue jeans. He was good looking and I had to swallow the thoughts that rose into my mind.

"Hello." I knew my company didn't take him by surprise. He turned to face me, his honey eyes meeting mine right away. His eyes narrowed for a second, then his face was slightly shocked but then it smoothed out into a smirk to match my own.

"I have not seen you around here before." I knew just about everyone that lived in this small town, but this was one face I never saw before, and I would have remembered someone so handsome.

"I don't live around here, my residence is in Washington." I smirked, purposely showing my teeth. His choice of words was old fashion and out of date.

"Welcome to Cali, I'm David." I extended my hand in a very human gesture. I wanted to feel how his skin felt, I never came across a creature like this before. I smiled at him as he took my hand. His skin was cold, but warmer then mine, but just as smooth. He was obviously not human.

"I'm Edward." His pronunciation of each word was perfect, his velvety voice was the most attractive voice I have ever heard. It was musical.

"Well Edward, I'm going to skip straight to the chase here, I think we need to have a little chat my new friend." He looked at me and I smiled at him, waiting.

I believe we do, David." His voice made me shudder, but I didn't let him see it. I shrugged, turning my gaze away from his hypnotizing eyes.

"I know your one of us...but..." He cut me off before I could think of how to word what I wanted to say.

"Us?" I looked back into his eyes.

"Yes, us, I have a pack of my own, well, I watch over our pack, Max is the leader. Then there is Dwayne, Marco, Paul, my girlfriend Star, her little brother Lady, and myself." Why was he surprised that there was more then one of us? Did he live alone?

"You don't smell like the rest."

"I could say the same about you Edward." I saw his eyes look to his right and I looked as well. The female he was with before was walking back over, licking an ice cream cone.

"That's my girlfriend Bella, she-." I cut him off, I didn't need an explanation.

"I understand, lets have this conversation at a later date, when she sleeps, you know where the bluff is?" I pointed to the cliff that hung over our cave. I waited to make sure he saw where I was pointing before continuing.

"My cave is directly under the point of the bluff, there is a trail leading down off the road be the hotel." When I said cave, his eyes widened for a moment, but I let it go, I would find out more about him later.

"She's a human, I won't be bringing her." I raised my eye brows, a human?

"A human? Your girlfriend is a human?" I couldn't believe it. I couldn't contain my laughter.

"Oh my dear, dear friend Edward, I look forward to our chat tonight, but first would you mind if I meet this human of yours?" He eyed me and I knew what he was worried about.

"I'm not hungry, I had some Chinese Food before I came here, I can resist." Once again his eyes widened in shock, he was making me more and more curious.

His girlfriend stopped at his side, licking the cone in her hands without looking up. I smiled at her when she met my eyes.

"Bella, this is David." She extended her hand to me and took hers firmly. It didn't take long for her to make the comparison between my skin temperature and Edward's. She backed away slowly, hiding behind Edward. I laughed again.

"Ah Bella, you are a smart one, aren't you. I guess your used to your boyfriend here, on my eyes I won't hurt you, I was just simply curious on how Edward here interacts with a human." My words seemed to be enough to take some of her fear away. She took a step closer to me, but stayed glued to Edward's side. I was about to continue when I heard the familiar sound of dirt bikes heading our way, I just shut up. The bikes were to loud to talk over.

I watched Edward's expression as my pack pulled up on their bikes. He watched each of us closely as if we were some kind of freak show on display. Star came to my side as soon as she was off the back of Dwayne's bike, taking my hand in hers. Lady took his spot by her side and the rest formed a circle around me.

"Who the hell are you?" Marco raised his eye brows and I shot him a glance, warning him to shut up.

"This is Edward, he is one of us." My pack smiled and raised an eye brow.

"He doesn't smell like one of us, what a fake." I rolled my eyes, watching Edward's reactions, but his face was free of all emotions.

"Please excuse them, they are ill-mannered."

"Sorry boss." Marco said sarcastically, I ignored him, moving towards Edward and casually putting my arm around his shoulders.

"The rude one is Marco, that's Dwayne, Paul, Star, and Lady." I pointed to each of them as I said their name, watching as he took in each one of them carefully and with interest. I let him examine each of us before continuing, realizing I forgot to introduce Bella.

"That's his human girlfriend Bella." Edward winced, he was obviously worried about Bella's safety, though I knew there was nothing to fear. My pack laughed and commented.

"The human bangs a vampire?"

"I never heard of something so crazy!" Edward tensed, he didn't like what they were saying.

"Now, now boys, Edward's way of life and ours are obviously different then ours, a little understanding would be nice." My boys got quiet instantly and obediently. I let go of Edward and went to stand back by my pack.

"I invited Edward to come see me in the cave tonight, I believe I have a lot to discuss with him, I shall see you there later Edward." It was best that we leave now, before my boys embarrassed themselves anymore, or something went wrong that would make Edward not come. I was desperate to know more about this mysterious vampire.

We climbed back onto our bikes. I pushed myself as far as I could forward so that Star could fit on the back. She wrapped her arms around my waist. All the bikes revved to life at once and my boys sped off into the darkness ahead, howling loudly as they did so. I paused, looking back over my shoulder and meeting Edward's still curious eyes with my own. I smiled at him and shook my head, he was such an odd creature. I let my eyes flash red for a second, only long enough for him to see, then I turned and followed my pack into the night.
