I Don't own Twilight

Chapter 4: Beautiful Stranger

I stood there mesmerized by the guy drinking my deer until my throat started to burn and I realized he stole my meal.

He hadn't noticed me yet because he was busy drinking, so I snuck up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

He whirled around with an angry expression on his face that quickly softened when he saw me.

"You stole my meal." I said as I pointed to the deer.

"I'm terribly sorry I didn't know it belonged to anyone." He answered in a velvet voice.

He walked closer to me and I realized how truly handsome he really was. He had a strange bronze color to his untidy hair that I had never seen before. His facial features were all perfectly strait and his skin had no imperfections. I moved from his face from the rest of his body and noticed that his clothes hugged his muscles perfectly. The thing that surprised me the most were his eyes, they were a dark gold color.

I was confused because he had been drinking the deer so I had assumed he was the same thing I was. But if he was the same then why were his eyes gold and mine red.

I looked up at his face again and noticed he was smirking. Dang he knew I had been staring at him.

"Why are your eyes a different color than mine?" I blurted out without thinking.

"Excuse me?" he asked in a confused voice.

"How come your eyes are gold and mine are red?" I clarified. I didn't know why but somehow I knew he had the answers to my questions.

"Probably because you hunt humans and I hunt animals." He responded.

"I don't hunt people!" I said. Didn't he just hear me tell him that he stole my deer, why would I be drinking a deer if I hunted people?

"You don't?" He asked confused again.

"No, why would I be hunting a deer if I hunted people?" I asked in a sharper tone than I meant to.

"Good point." He answered. "I guess you are probably still a newborn and your eyes haven't changed yet."

"A newborn what" I asked confused.

"You don't know what you are?" He asked in shock.

"No, all I know is that some strange man with red eyes was in my house, he attacked me, and then I was in a lot of pain." I said all this in a hurry but I know he heard me because he looked horrified. "Then I woke up in a hospital and I was this." I said and gestured to my body.

When he heard that I woke up in a hospital he looked even more horrified then before.

"How many people did you attack in the hospital?" He asked even though it looked as if he was scared of my answer. Just before I answered I swear I heard him mumble something about a Volturi whatever that is.

"None, I hunt animals remember." I answered in frustration because he was getting answers to his questions and I wasn't.

"You were able to leave a hospital full of people without attacking any of them?" He asked in shock.

"Yes"

"How"

"If I answer this question will answer some of mine?" I asked because I need answers.

"Of course" He said seeming to realize I was getting agitated.

"I held my breath and jumped out the bathroom window." I said "Now what am I?"

"You just held your breath and left?" He asked in amazement.

"Hey, you said you would answer my questions if I answered yours, now answer it!" I said angrily.

"You're a vampire" He said looking me right in the eye waiting for my reaction.

"WHAT!" I screeched. "That's not possible vampires don't exist"

"I am afraid they do and I am afraid that you're one now." He said with sadness in his voice.

I didn't know what to do or what to say, I felt like I should be crying right now but no tears would come.

I sat on down on the ground and tried to let everything soak in, I was a vampire.

"What's your name?" The strange guy asked quietly. I hadn't noticed but he was now sitting right next to me looking pained and worried.

"Bella" I replied automatically.

"Bella what" He asked. I thought about it and realized I didn't know, I didn't know anything about myself. Did I have family or friends? I couldn't remember.

"I don't know" I said quietly. "I don't remember, I remember being bit and then waking up in a hospital in Arizona but that's it."

"What made you come here?" He asked.

"I don't know the name Forks kept popping up in my head and I figured that maybe it was important so I came here." I replied.

"Oh" He said.

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I realized I didn't know his name.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Edward Cullen" He replied.

"You are a vampire too aren't you?" I asked.

"Yes I am" He said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"I have so many questions and I was wondering" I paused not knowing if I should take up anymore of his time.

"Yes" he urged me to continue.

"Will you answer them?" I asked shyly.

"Yes of course, but can I ask you something first?"

"Sure" I replied

"Do you have anywhere to go?" He asked. "Any place to live?"

"No" I replied sadly when I realized I didn't.

"I figured" He replied "Why don't you come home with me."

"I don't know" I said a little unsure, I mean I just met him should I really go home with him? But then again I didn't have any other options.

"Come on, my family will love you." He said "And we'll answer any questions you have."

I thought about it for a minute I didn't have anywhere else to go, and even though I had just met him I felt like I could trust Edward, so I took a shaky breath and said:

"Ok"

As soon as I said this a crooked smiled appeared on his face that almost took my breath away. Edward stood up and offered me his hands to pull me up, I took them and I felt a spark of something when I touched him.

I could tell he felt it too form the expression on his face. He looked amazed but also frustrated. I understood why he was amazed but I would have to ask him about the frustrated part later.

"This way" he said, pointing in the direction of what I assumed was his house.

"Wait" I said suddenly remembering the fire in my throat, he was a good distraction. "Can I hunt some more first; I mean you did steal my deer."

"Of course" he said laughing as he remembered. His laughter was musical and it sent a shiver though me.

He waited as I hunted some more deer. As I hunted I thought about everything that had just happened and what was about happen.

I had met Edward Cullen, I found out I was a vampire, and now I going to meet Edward Cullen's family.
