Author's note: Everything belongs to Mrs. Meyer

This chapter will make sense at the bottom

Edward's POV

4 years ago I left the girl who I though was the love of my life. My whole family left after my brother Jasper tried to drain Bella on her 18th birthday. We all moved to Alaska, but I couldn't stay there and see the sadness on the faces or hear their thoughts of how they wondered if Bella is alright, had she moved on and other thoughts. Being a mind reader had its up and downs. I left my family and traveled the world; I went to England, Scotland and Ireland where I visited with the Irish coven. I went to a lot of different places trying to find something what I didn't know till I got to Brazil and found her. I decided that I wanted to be alone without everybody thoughts running through my mind. So I figured I go to Isle Esme, the island that Carlisle bought for Esme for one of there many anniversaries. I was passing by a group of trees when I heard her thoughts

"Why does he have golden eyes?"

There was also a pull towards her that I felt. I knew I had to see what she looked like so I called

"My name is Edward, I won't hurt you, please come out"
It took her a few minutes to come out, with a lot of should I hurt him, will he hurt me running through her head. When she finally emerged from the trees, I was speechless. She was a tall Puerto Rican beauty; she had long silky black hair, and red eyes and the pull just got stronger

"What is your name?"
"Sammy"
"Who were you turned by?"
"Garratt"

"Where is he now?"
"He left a couple of years ago. We were together for 10 years before we realized that we would never be anything but friends"

"Are you mated?"
"No. Can I ask you something now?"
"Yes please"
"Why do you have gold eyes and not red eyes?"
"Because I don't drink the blood of humans"
"Well then what do you drink?"
"Animals"
"Why?"
"Because that is what my family and I decided that we didn't want to drink the blood of humans"
"Are your family here with you?"
"No something happened and I couldn't be with my family anymore because it hurt too much"
"Where are you going?"
"Isle Esme, the island that my father bought for my mother for an anniversary"
'Did your whole family get turned?"
"No Carlisle is the one who turned me. Carlisle and his wife Esme are the parents figure in our coven. So would you like to join me?"

"Yes Edward I would"

That all happened a year ago. We went to the island and talked and learned about each other. Sammy was a voodoo priestess when she was human and her special power is conversing with spirits, which is something I never come across before. I was able to help turn her onto drinking animals and she took to it very well after a couple months. We are mated because she also felt the pull and that's why she followed me to Isle Esme. I told her about my past, about Bella and about my family. She had been bugging me to take her to meet my family and I wasn't sure if that was a good ideal but she said it was.

"What are you thinking about Edward?"

Sammy walked over to my place at the window where I was sitting and sat in my lap, giving me a kiss.

"Nothing dear just the past 4 years and meeting you"
"What has you so concern about?"
"Oh just wondering if Bella is alright and if she has been able to move on. Plus I am also missing my family"
"Well why don't we go and see them and find out about Bella"

That was the great thing about Sammy she didn't get jealous over Bella she just wanted to help me to get over her. I would forever love her but as a friend or sister.

"You right we should go; when do you want to go"
"How about Christmas? I think it would be nice to see them then."

"Alright my dear Christmas it is"

We had a couple of months left to ourselves before we went to see my family.

Author's note: O.k. I know no Bella and Jasper they will be back next chapter but this is a set up to what is going to come in a couple of chapters. Sammy is based on a really good friend of mine. She loves Edward and so I put her in, she knows who she is, hope you like it.
