Chapter Two has arrived. Reviews are appreciated. I'm sad! I don't have many reviews. D: I have hits, but no reviews! If you even just glance at this page, review and you can tell me some random compliment. Like, "Nice socks," even though you can't see my socks. I know I'm being hypocritical, but review if you read (I don't do that sometimes cause I'm not in the mood)!

Disclaimer: Lisa likes Edward Cullen. So does -FacelessxAuthor- sadly, they cannot own him. Sad, sad.

Chapter Two - Frantic

Elizabeth, 1919, Chicago

It felt good to be in control once again.

Even though Carlisle had taught us to only feast on animal blood, we would still struggle with our bloodlust. I could tell that my poor Edward was having his own inner battle each day as we sat in Carlisle's home, sad and in denial.

I had only asked Carlisle to change Edward, my sweet seventeen-year-old son who still had pleanty of life ahead of him. When Carlisle changed me, I found it as a shock. Becoming a vampire was not what I had asked for. I had lived a very long and happy life with my husband (Edward, Sr. who had unfortunately passed days before I caught the flu) and my son (Edward, Jr.) But, what's done is done and you cannot go back after being changed.

"Mother?" Edward asked me, his voice soft. I could hear the pain in his voice. The healthy and weak beating of human heart beats passed through the nearly empty street in front of Carlisle's home. He had left to go to the hospital once again, so nothing would seem suspicious. "Why do you not wish to be still . . . alive? If we could label it that."

I looked at him in slight surprise. "Was I speaking out loud?"

"I . . . don't think so." Edward replied slowly. "It was as if I heard your voice inside my mind."

I cocked my head to the side as I stared at my son curiously. "Inside your head?"

He nodded, looking frightened. "Yes,"

"Perhaps we should consult Carlisle about this when he returns," I said.

"That seems appropiate." Edward said, looking relieved that I wasn't fussing over him. "When will he return from work?"

I looked at the ticking clock that hung on the wall. "He should be home in minutes," Inside, I was frantic. What had happened to him? Was there something wrong with his mental health that the vampire venom had caused.

"I feel okay, Mother. Please don't become frantic over me." Edward begged softly.

"I'm sorry, dear." I told him quickly. "I cannot help it." I gave him a wry smile. "You're my son. Fussing and becoming frantic comes naturally."

He chuckled. Edward's voice sounded so . . . odd and different after the change. It sounded like velvet, and when he chuckled, it sounded like bells or music. I missed the rougher and deeper sound of his voice from when he was human.

Edward sighed and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry," I murmured.

"Edward? Elizabeth?" Carlisle's voice was louder than it would have been to a human, especially since he was speaking at a normal tone. "Are you okay?"

He came into the bedroom that Edward had claimed as his own. Even if we didn't sleep, he still liked his privacy. I was sitting in one of the plush chairs and he sat on the bed. "Hello, Carlisle?" Edward murmured softly. "How was your day?"

Carlisle smiled. "It was rather . . . boring, actually." Carlisle said, chuckling. "It seems as if this epidemic has slowed down. I believe we will have to leave soon."

"Yes, well, that should be fine." I said. "But, we do have something to tell you."

"Oh?" Carlisle leaned against the door way.

"I read my mother's mind." Edward blurted quickly.

"You . . . read her . . . mind?" Carlisle's voice was full of shock. "Really?"

Edward nodded quickly. "Yes, it was very odd. It was as if her voice was in my mind."

"Intresting . . . it seems as if you have a gift. I have learned from some old friends of mine that when you are changed, the change brings out certain aspects of that certain person." He said, while mulling things over in his mind.

"That is quite . . . odd. When Edward was human, he some how had a way of knowing roughly what people were thinking." I said, smiling gently at Edward.

"So, now I have a gift? I can read minds?" Edward asked, cocking his head to the side.

Carlisle smiled at him. "Yes, I believe you can."

Slow chapter, short chapter...Erm...did you enjoy it? I hope you all did! I know it's slow! Now, tell me, who's POV next?

A) Carlisle

B) Elizabeth

C) Edward

D) Bella

The next chapter is a major fast forward, which is going to be 2005. Tell me whatcha think, please! Also, I know how Edward seems more vulnerable and calmer, but that's because he just got out of his New Born phase and he's just adjusting.

Review, because Lisa knows where you live.
