This chapter is introducing Edward. It is in his POV. It is just easier to do it this way with my later chapters I have written. It just makes sense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forks, Washington. This is my new home. I had already unpacked everything and set up my room the way I wanted it. That is what happens when you don't sleep. I had nothing else to do. I organized my millions of CDs and was out of things to do. I decided to go downstairs to see what the rest of the family was up to.
As soon as I stepped out of my room it all hit me. I knew exactly what every couple in this house was doing. I could hear and see everything. I could hear every scream and moan from the girls in my family. And I could see what every guy in my house was seeing. I hate hate hate being able to read minds. I let out a growl and ran outside. I needed to get away. I couldn't do that. I couldn't hear or see that.
I didn't know where I was running. I just ran. I stopped when I heard nothing, well at least I couldn't hear my family. I just sat under a tree. Resting even though I wasn't tired. I know that if I were human I'd be tired. I had no idea where I was.
I was thinking of a million things when I smelt her. There was a burning deep in my throat. Then I heard her. She was thinking about vampires. She was human. How did she know about vampires and was still alive. "With vampires existing I have none of that."
That was when I saw him, a tracker. He was watching her, stalking her. She knew someone was watching her. Sooner than I thought the vampire jumped at her. He was on top of her. She knew it was a vampire and she wasn't afraid. She was planning on fighting.
She got out of his hold and punched him in the throat. To his surprise and mine it hurt. This girl had a lot of power, like a superhuman. I watched her get out from under him, he then leaped at her but she moved. That was when a new vampire came from behind and grabbed her. I wanted to help her but reading her mind I knew she could handle herself. And she'd probably kill me if I did help. Well probably not but I knew she'd be okay doing this on her own.
While one vampire had a hold of her the other one was planning on knocking her out and then they'd feed off her. This made me mad. I didn't know why I cared so much but I did. He got closer, close enough for her to kick him twice, elbow the other vampire, and get out of her hold. This girl had some super strength.
All 3 of them stood there. She knew they were waiting for her to attack them, which they were. She was smart. The vampires knew she wasn't backing down and they knew they wouldn't win. So they backed down. The girl was very surprised. I listened to her. She had been fighting vampires for 5 years. This amazed me.
I took a breath out of habit and her scent hit me again. The burning in my throat returned. It took everything in me not to attack her. I knew I couldn't do it. Risk hurting not only myself but also my family. I held my breath once more and composed myself. She started walking after she calmed herself down. It didn't even phase her that she just fought 2 vampires.
I debated if I should follow her. Her scent was a challenge for me. I didn't feed off humans and usually I can handle the scents of humans but not her. But something in me wouldn't let me let this girl go. So I needed to follow her.
I read everything she thought. She replayed her night. She was remembering a fight she had with a guy. A guy she had feelings for. That made me jealous and I didn't know why. She had a feeling that I was following her but she didn't act.
I watched her as she climbed a tree to get into her room. This girl fascinated me. I climbed the tree and waited for her to fall asleep, which didn't take long. I held my breath again and went into her room. I searched for something to me who she was. I saw a note from her dad she didn't read.
Bella.
I hope you had a good night. I just want to protect you. I want you to skip class tomorrow so we can plan our attack on the new vampires. They took another life today. I'm sorry.
Love,
Dad
So there were more that fought vampires. And her name is Bella, beautiful. I watched her sleep a little longer but decided to go home. Hopefully everyone was done now.
I needed to think about my discovering of today. I needed to let my family know about this.

I don't have a preview for the next chapter because I don't really have that written next. Opps. I've been working on a later chapter when Edward and Bella meet. And yes Edward can read her mind. I always wondered what that would be like. Oh well review!!
