Its not Edward-he's not even born yet….
I memorized the vampire's features instantaneously. He seemed to be about 30, pale skin, golden eyes and blonde hair. My intuition kicked in and I realised this man would never intentionally harm someone. He looked up and seemed to realise that he was going to die. Two 'werewolves' against one vampire. There was no way out from his point of view.
"Billy what are you doing? He's not evil!"
"Isabella-the best way to learn is by doing. KILL HIM!"
"No! I'm not a weapon!"
"Tear his head off or I will!"
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I didn't kill this stranger, Billy would and he would do it painfully. I did the only thing I could. Quick as a darting cobra I punched Billy in the side of the head, rendering him unconscious.
The vampire scrambled up from the ground and I reached out my hand to help him up. He gasped at it iciness. Just to confuse the matter further, the sun decided to come out of hiding. He began to sparkle whilst I glowed my customary shade of lilac. He stared unabashedly.
"Hello, miss umm….?"
"Swan"
"Miss Swan. Thank you for rescuing me but may I ask, what are you?"
I doubted that the stranger would harm me but I decided against revealing more of my nature.
"That is unimportant. I would suggest that you get out of the vicinity before that dog wakes up. He will undoubtedly be irritated to say the least. May I just ask your name before I retire?
"How rude of me. Carlisle Cullen at your services."
"Goodbye Mr. Cullen. I have to leave now, you are not the only one who has reason to dislike it" I motioned to the snoring Billy. "Please don't follow me"
"I will not disrespect the wishes of a lady, if you are leaving travel north. There are many places to think about ones problems."
I just gaped at him. How could he know? He laughed at my face and replied in a silky voice:
"Miss Swan, it is incapable for anybody to not notice your troubled expression. Goodbye"
We briefly shook hands before running in separate directions. Him to the south, myself to the north. I ran as fast as I could for twelve long days, only stopping to snatch a piece of fruit or a drink of water. I was glad of my inability to get tired. Even Billy had to sleep sometimes. Soon I stopped running.
I found myself in a little meadow that was absolutely beautiful. The flowers were perfect and the moon shone down and strangely enough made my skin glow. I was surprised at that as I had thought that it only glowed in sunlight. I guess you learn something new everyday.
I sat in the centre of the meadow just thinking. First I thought about Carlisle. My intuition was telling me I would see him again. I decided to overcome that obstacle when I reached it. Then I thought about my current situation:
I was damn near immortal.
I want to protect the innocent.
I dislike all evil beings.
I can fight.
Suddenly it hit me like a ton of elephants (I probably wouldn't notice bricks). I should use my abilities to help people. I can help the humans by protecting them from the malevolent undead. I think my soul has gone, I lost it when I died. It may be some cancellation to being a monstrosity.
As I thought about it I realised I am uniquely placed to do this. I have the knowledge, the skills and the strength to fight the truly evil. Even if I get killed, it will be one less monstrosity in the world.
Also, my intuition will ensure no innocents will lose their souls.
Bella Swan-hunter of malevolence, protector of the innocent.
