Chapter 3: Edward?

"Bella," I called once I got outside. I saw her but just barely and I immediately took off after her. I caught up to Bella but was barely keeping up with her as she went faster and faster.

There was sun up ahead and civilization along with it. Even though it was full on raining in Forks, didn't mean it had to be cloudy; just another weird thing about Forks. I slowed a lot so that I was running human speed and stopped at the brush. Bella alternated so gracefully to her inhuman speed to a regular jog it mesmerized me. But now she was out of my reach.

The clouds would cover the sun again soon but I knew I should give Bella time to get things sorted by herself. I hoped she wouldn't be mad at me for long. I sighed as I made my way home slowly, contemplating every possible apology I could say to Bella when she returned.

?? POV

I had always lived in Europe. Sometimes it was London, others Germany, everywhere you could Possibly imagine and I loved it but something was tugging at me. Something deep down that I couldn't name.

I was going to go to the United States. I always was curious to know what the country did in difference to Europe. Europe seemed so sophisticated and simple and everyone talked as if the US was so spectacular. It was my time to go.

I ended up flying to the first destination I thought was as rainy as possible. It was perfect. Forks. It was perfect. There was so much rain that I would be able to go in public any time I felt necessary. I would go to Forks High School, posing as a senior because I really didn't want to go to school that long and plus I was already twenty-one.

I had only been walking for what seemed like thirty minutes, trying to find a place to stay when a scent hit me so hard I was about to pounce. I saw a woman jogging, it looked as if she had been crying and I could tell that she was a vampire almost immediately. Why was her scent so strong though?

"Hey are you all right?" I asked the woman. She slowed down and looked at me shock and anger written all over her face.

"Edward I thought you would give me a little time alone. What you did today crossed the line. Now leave me alone. I don't want to see you until tomorrow if at all," the woman said. I didn't even know her, how could she confuse me for this Edward? Hmm? That name sounds familiar.

"I'm not this Edward of whom you speak miss. My name is Damien," I said extending my hand out for her to shake.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I thought you were my boy friend. My name's Bella," said Bella as a blush painted her cheeks. This was one strange vampire, I thought.

"You said Edward. Might I ask what Edward's last name is?" I asked. I was just curious. This might very well be my long lost brother. I thought he died from the Spanish Influenza but maybe he had suffered the same fate I had tried to keep him away from.

"Oh um Cullen," Bella said and my hopes were immediately died. He wasn't alive, he wasn't ever going to come back. I sighed inwardly as Bella said, "So are you going to be staying here for a while?"

"Yeah, I thought it would be a good idea. I'm trying to find an apartment that I can afford. Right now I haven't been making as much money as I'd like," I said as I thought about how much money I had. About a thousand dollars and no more.

"Oh well I know a vampire family you can stay with. They're really nice and I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you staid with them as long as you started hunting animals instead of humans," said Bella with genuine concern. Did she say animals instead of humans? I had never heard of such an idea. The Volturi had always said humans but now I guess not.

"There's another method instead of drinking off humans? I thought that was the only way," I said clearly amazed making Bella laugh.

"Well of course. Now do you want to meet the Cullen's? asked Bella with a smile. I couldn't help but nod and helplessly follow this beautiful creature to the Cullen's house. When we got there it was huge. I couldn't believe they had so much money.

Edward POV (Where he left off to present)

Bella had been gone so long. She was taking hours. What was taking her so long? I know that she didn't go back to Charlie's because I couldn't smell her intoxicating scent there. She was driving me crazy.

I was pacing my room and I swear if I wanted to I would be making a hole in my floor I was doing it so much. My music couldn't calm my frazzled nerves. I just couldn't wait for Bella to come but I knew to get her forgiveness I would have to wait until she came to me.

I wish I didn't even think about having my revenge. Me and my big ego. I was so stupid. Bella didn't deserve someone like me. She was so beautiful, perfect. I just ruined everything we had but I loved her so much. I was way too selfish to let her go.

I could hear Bella. No I could smell her. She was coming here! At last I would beg her for her forgiveness even if I had to do so on my knees. I ran to the door and opened it quickly to find that Bella was not alone.
