Chapter 5; Then he saw her.

Author's Note, please read!!!!

Okay, what I have to announce will probably make you either jump for joy or try to kill me. I'm going on hiatus with this fanfic. I'm going to take some time off it, finish it, go back and edit and make sure I'm happy with it before I post again. I'm just not happy with how this started out, and I really need to sort my head out. xD I'm so sorry, but this is the last you'll see of me for a couple of months. D= But when I come back, I promise it'll be better than ever! So, here it is, the promised juicy bit. I'm sorry, again. D=

The sun had risen, finally.

You have no idea how hard it is to not be able to sleep. I spent the whole night going through all my Portuguese novels. You have no idea how frustrating it is, just sitting there, for eternity, knowing that this is all that's ever going to happen. Emmett was wrestling Jasper...yet again. Alice was going through the latest issue of Vogue. That girl takes retail therapy to a whole new level. But, I suppose it's okay considering the money we have. Esme and Carlisle were deep in discussion about a patient. And Rosalie down the hall was checking herself in the mirror, as per usual. I don't understand her...I mean nothing is ever going to change in her...or any of us for that matter. We were beings frozen in time, and nothing was ever going to change that...

Edward

I turned my head towards the voice in my head (just one of the human instincts that I'd managed to retain).

"Yeah?"

You might want to get down here. We're all going to be late. Rosalie is blowing her top off. Your little rant went on for quite awhile... I could practically hear the smile in her voice.

"Whatever. Tell Rosalie to stop checking herself out in the side view mirror."

I was down in a millionth of a second. Rosalie was in her red M3, looking peeved as usual. Emmett was jumping up and down, high on something (the ground was shaking beneath him). Jasper had his head in his hands, trying to control all the emotions that were streaming through the group right now. And Alice was just standing there, smiling; the only sane person that I could trust. We stuck together. We were different.

"Rosalie, I want to take my Jeep today!"

I shook my head. Trust Emmett to complain about something. If anything just to annoy the rest of us.

I shook my head and headed towards the M3. The drive was a quick one, we liked to go fast. We were at school within minutes. As we arrived, all the talk was about the new girl that had arrived.

Isabella Swann. I was sick of the name already. It was on the mind of every male in the school. How she might look, what it would feel like to hold her, run their fingers through her hair...they just can't control themselves can they? I turned to the others.

"Looks like there's a new girl in town. Isabella Swan...or Bella as she likes to be called. Daughter of Chief Swann and Renee. The boys can't stop thinking about her."

"Well I can't blame them, she's really pretty", Emmett replied, earning himself a glare from Rosalie.

And that's when it hit me.

Wave after wave of the forbidden smell crashed onto me. It was the sweetest, juiciest scent that I had caught in 100 years. I turned towards the smell.

And there she was. Hair billowing in the breeze, hazel eyes wide with confusion and a look of sheer terror. She had ivory and almost transparent skin. You could see the beautiful warm blush that was starting to spread over her porcelain cheek.

I couldn't stand it anymore. All I wanted to do was to sink my teeth into that luscious neck. I'd never felt like this before. I knew that this fragile being was going to be my undoing. My hunter's instincts raged inside me, urging me to go for the kill. So I did the only thing I could.

I ran.

I ran over the border, to the edge of the sea. But it didn't matter.

Because her maddeningly beautiful face followed me wherever I went.

AN: Well, that's it I guess. I'll see you on the other side! xD
