Hey, guys! Thanks for continuing to read! Sorry it took me so long to update...I've been uber busy.

Edward's POV:
I was still trying to absorb the idea of my vampirism, despite the fact that I could feel the burn and had gone feeding with Carlisle twice now. The concept was so foreign to my mind, brought up in the idea that vampires didn't exist, and anyone who claimed otherwise was to be put in a mental institution, that even the action of feeding wasn't enough to entirely convince me.
There were a few things I missed intensely, however–my family, although I wouldn't have been able to see my parents again, even if I was still human, and most importantly, sleep. There were far too many hours in the day to spend all of them awake, and far too little to do in the small house where the doctor lived. I was incredibly lonely, without any chance for human interaction, except for with Carlisle, who was at work most of the day.
But time passed, slowly, and soon I realized that I had grown slowly accustomed to the life I had been living. It had been a few months, and I still thirsted more intensely than ever, still spent my time wishing I could go outside into the city and use my newfound power, however much Carlisle insisted that I was far too dangerous still. The voices persisted, and I continued to hone them–learning to tune into voices nearby, trying to pick out the voices of people I had once known from those of the other city inhabitants.
I was still lonely, but conditions improved, and eventually, the first year of my vampirism passed.
The End of the Chapter! Sorry it was short, but I can't write too much now. Soon we'll get into more characters and action! I know that the first 4 chapters have been excruciatingly dull, but they will improve, I promise! R&R, please!
