On Her Own

Full Summary: Set 20 years after BD. Tells the story of Chloe Andrews, a 5 years old vampire who decides to venture out on her own after traveling with a coven. Originally this was going to be from her becoming a vampire through her first few years, but I was having problems displaying newborn tendencies. Twilight characters will appear now and then. Chloe's POV.

Chapter 1

On my own

It is never easy leaving people you've known your whole life, or in this case your entire vampire life. That's right, I'm a blood sucking vampire. I had grown up in Indiana, just south of Indianapolis. I was nineteen when I was attacked.

From what I learned, a vampire decided that I would be a tasty snack and attacked me. He managed to drain a good amount of my blood before another vampire decided that he wanted me. The two fought and left me, half-dead in the street, the venom seeping through my veins. The next thing I knew, something picked me up and carried me away.

Three days later, I learned of my new life. I had been saved by a vampire named Matt, who just happened to be passing by. We left town, once I had fed. We traveled around the country and occasionally Canada.

After two years of just the two of us, we joined up with a mated pair, Andrew and Alexandra. We were all good friends, and for three years we traveled, hunted and fought a few battles together. It really helped having people built like Matt and Andrew (A/N. For Matt, picture Emmett, Andrew, Felix but a couple of inches shorter). None of us had powers like some vampires do, but we had strength, and apart from me, experience. Andrew had, almost 1000 years ago, been a member of the Volturi, the vampire world's royal family, as an enforcer. He left to live a more nomadic life. He met Alexandra a few centuries after leaving. They fell in love almost immediately and had been together ever since. Matt and I were not mates. I was grateful for him saving my life, but he was never more than a big brother to me, and he only thought me as a little sister.

I left them somewhere near Montreal, Canada. I never really paid attention to which cities we were in. They headed south while I headed west. We had never gone to Alaska, so I decided that I would head that way. Up until now, it had been the only state that I had not been to. I had gone to Hawaii, when I was human. My rich and least favorite cousin and her fiancé decided they wanted to get married there. If was anywhere else, and my parents weren't paying for it, I would have stayed home.

Thinking about that, brought of the memory of my sister, Caitlyn's wedding, about a week before I became a vampire. I had been her maid of honor. Caitlyn was my only sister, having two older, and one younger brothers.

I headed west through Canada. I went through a town, since it was after dark. I had fed yesterday, so I wasn't hungry. When I traveled with my coven, we rarely went through towns except to eat. The only reason I went through was because it was well after the sun had set. Wanting to clean up a little, I rented a room for the night. Matt had piled up a lot of money over time and had given me about a third of it. I wanted to refuse, but he said it was a gift.

I went up to my room and took a shower. Afterwards, I changed into my spare clothes and went to the places washer and dryer and washed my clothes. I spent the remainder of the evening thinking about what I would do once I reached Alaska. The benefit of being a vampire meant I did not have to sleep, so I got a lot of thinking in.

I checked out of my room the next morning, I was fortunate as it was overcast, so the sun was behind the clouds. I got out of town quickly. Once I was out into the open, I walked at a faster pace. A few men driving by whistled. A man stopped and offered me a ride, and I accepted. "Where to?"

"I'm heading to Alaska."

"Well, so am I," he said. I sat next to him.

"I'll pay you whatever you need," I said.

"Oh, I can think of other ways you can pay me." He put his hand on my legs. I grabbed his wrist and pulled it off. "Now listen her sweetie," he said stopping the car. "I am rather lonely and could use some female company."

"If you know what is good for you, you would not try." He pulled a knife out, and I just laughed. "What's so funny?"

"You really think that will hurt me?" I still had his wrist in my hand, the knife was in his other, so I broke it.

"You, bitch," screaming in pain. He dropped the knife. I was not really hungry, but I thought, what the hell? I bit into his neck and drank him dry. I got out of the car, moved him to the passenger seat, strapped him in and made him look asleep. I got into the driver seat and started driving. I drove until I ran out of gas, his little truck did not have great mpg. Fortunately, I ran out near a lake, so after moving him back over behind the wheel, I pushed the truck into the lake. I would be long gone before they ever found him.

The remainder of the day was cloudy, it did rain at one point, but I just continued. I reached the Alaskan boarder, and went across. Once I was there, I really did not know what or where I wanted to go. I had thought about it all night, but did not really think of anything. The sun finally set, allowing me to travel vampire style. I ran for several hours through the snow covered hills. I had managed to cross near the northern part of the boarder. I continued heading west, thinking about what I might due. I entered a wooded area and decided to slow down. I was being careless. I was not checking where villages or settlements were, I just kept running. I was about to proceed forward when I caught a scent. It was that of a vampire so I crouched down in a defensive position.

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by 3 vampires, two male and one female. One of the male reminded me of Matt a little with the way he was built. I looked at the three of them, all of whom looked ready to attack. That was when I noticed the biggest thing, they had golden eyes.

A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. So Chloe has started on her own, got a ride and killed him and ran into three golden eyed vampires. Could her day get any crazier? Please be nice, this is my first published Twilight fanfic. Constructive criticism is accepted. I have an idea of where this will go, but suggestions will be considered.

Chloe's description: 24 years old (looks 19). 5'8'', Shoulder length light brown hair.
