Chapter Two
Bella pov
February 2006
I'd often looked back on that day and wished I could go back and leave the house just 5 minutes earlier and got on that bus. I'd met Edward after college as arranged and he was the perfect gentleman. He drove us to McDonalds and bought me something to eat. We chatted for what seemed like forever 'getting to know each other' as he called it, before driving me home.
Over the next week he picked me up every morning and dropped me off every afternoon. On the Saturday my dad came barging into my room and had grabbed me by the hair. I'm sure he had much worse planned, perhaps a 'few smacks' as he called them, more like smacked me about until he felt I'd had enough, but at that moment there was a knock on the door.
It was Edward, he'd heard me scream and he pushed passed me into the flat. After introducing himself to my dad as my boyfriend, he'd sat with me in his car and let me cry for an hour. My dad never touched me again, though he was still as nasty as ever.
But after a few weeks Edward started to change. He would forget to pick me up or put me down verbally. Just in small ways but looking back now it wasn't so small.
It was 2 months after we started dating that he asked me to move in with him and his family. It was just after a flaming row with my dad so I said yes. Surprisingly, my dad never questioned it. I had thought that it would end in another fight with me having to fight legally to move out.
I moved in a week later. It only took a little under three hours to box up my meagre belongings and get to the Cullen's house. Straight away I should have realised something was off, but I put it down to the fact my upbringing and 'family' was anything but normal and it just wasn't what I was used to. I was shown to my own room. I mean I know edward and I weren't having sex yet but I had assumed that we would at least be sharing now, considering we were moving in together, guess I was wrong. It wasn't a terrible thing or a deal breaker and at 16 I suppose some would say it's too soon, but to be honest Edward barely even kissed me let alone tried a quick grope.
Rosalie was her usual bitch self, huffing every time she saw me. I think the only reason she didn't openly berate me was because of Emmett who had quickly become a big brother of sorts.
Esme and Carlisle, though kind, seemed only interested in Edwards happiness and pandering to the golden boys every whim. Alice on the other hand just seemed constantly smug and I'm sure I saw her giving me a few evil looks when she thought I couldn't see.
Almost a week after I moved in is when I learned the painful truth.
The Cullen were vampires.
Flashback April 2002
Edward had been gone all weekend again. Every weekend him and Emmett would go camping just the two of them.
I'd noticed other strange things as well. Firstly, everyone but Edward would leave the house at meal times but even then he would just sit and watch. I never saw any of them eat.
Secondly, I don't think they slept much, if at all. They weren't aware of it but I had heard them all many times through the night, and the certainly weren't sleeping.
And finally, they never really went out when it was sunny.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock at the door.
"Bella love, can I come in?" Edward called. So he was back then.
"Yes come in" I Was glad, I had a few questions I wanted answered.
"hey, I missed you."
"i missed you too Edward, but I think we should talk"
Edwards face changed and it scared me slightly.
"What is it love? Are you not happy here? Do I not give you everything you could possibly need?
Ok where the hell had that come from
"Edward, what are you talking about? I just got a feeling something was going on, and I want to know what"
I jumped off the bed as I watched Edwards eyes darken to almost black.
"Everyone's gone out for the evening to allow us some privacy, and you decide to be ungrateful."
"Edward, what the fuck? Stop it, your being a jerk!" I was seriously scared now, Edward looked ready to kill.
"Do not EVER speak to me like that!" He snarled.
"Fuck you. I'm outta here, unless you have an explanation for your behaviour?"
At that exact moment my world started to spin as Edward smacked me across the face and I flew back a good five feet and hit the wall with a thud.
"Stupid little girl, you will learn your place"
"Edward? What's happening in here?" Alice said as she appeared in the doorway.
"Bellas just being her usual clumsy self. Aren't you love?"
"ugh... I...he...what are...huh?" I was astounded. Had Edward just hit me? How the hell was he so strong? What the FUCK was going on?
"Carlisle can you come, Bella's hurt. Well it's a good job we had to come back then isn't it. Perhaps you should get acquainted with modern medicine Edward if Bella's going to be falling down all over the place," Alice said sincerely, although her face showed an almost gleeful expression.
Carlisle came and checked me over. Apparently, I was just a little bruised but nothing more serious.
I didn't care about any of that, I cared about what the hell these 'people' were because the strength needed to do what Edward did was not something that normal people were capable of.
"So guys, now I'm all fixed up, do you want to let me in on the secret?"
"Theres nothing tell Bella" Edward said calmly. I was starting to wonder if this guy had bipolar.
"Edward, son, maybe we should tell her. It would be much easier all round?" Esme said quietly.
"oh yeah, great idea, let's tell her our secret and she can bring the end down on us all!" Rosalie spat.
"Oh for god sake just tell me. If you're worried I'll spill my guts, I promise you now I won't," I yelled. I Was getting pissed now.
"Isabella, calm down and I will explain." Edward said pinching the top of his nose.
"ok Edward I'm listening."
"Edward don't, she doesn't need to know. You're going to get us all killed," Rosalie shouted.
"ROSE! That is enough" Esme chastised. Rosalie threw her hands up in air and stomped out of the room with a huff.
"Bella we are... myself and my family I mean... we're vampires."
My mind was spinning and it took me a second to realise the hysterical laughter was coming from me, but one look at their faces stopped me cold.
"your not joking are you?"
"No Bella, he's not." Carlisle said with a sigh.
With that my world went black.
A/N: Right now I know I've posted 2 chapters in less than 24 hours but I just wanted to warn you it probably won't be the norm. The 3rd chapter is half written but I seem to have hit a brick wall as things are about to get serious and because it's based loosely on a true story I want to do it justice so won't be posted until tomorrow (Thursday) evening.
I had a review earlier this morning regarding details and how more details will make it more intense so I have decided I will go into more detail on certain incidents but will add a warning both in the a/n and in the story it's self right before the not nice bit. If you don't want to read it you can skip it and feel free to pm me for a kind of short summary of that part
