ZOMG! Chapter 1! Thank you for the reviews, you know I get psyched if I get one review, so when I came back from school and found seven (btw this was the day I after I posted the prologue of Baby I Will Never Leave You.) Man was I REALLY happy (I actually checked during school) my friends were all staring at me I was literally jumping in my seat… I'm surprised the teacher didn't tell me off.
Finally Edward arrives at Forks. Also I'm keeping this part bold just because I didn't realise you can't see where this ends and when the story begins… I don't live in America which is why I have no idea where the Cullens are living now. I'm making the difference between where they live and Forks a few hours if I was comparing it to Australia… pretty much a drive from Melbourne to Canberra which happens to be… actually I have no idea. But I'm pretty sure it's seven hours-ish. Whoops that's not a few hours. I made up some of the names… but Kuna's an actual place in USA, I checked on the internet just so I didn't have to make it seem weird… Also… does anyone like my title's pun?
Italics – thoughts (the ones Edward can hear) also the visions Alice has. Also good/ angel Edward (all will be explained later.)
Italics – Evil/devil Edward/ Edward's instinct
"Italics" – music lyrics (probably this chapter only but oh well.)
"Blah Blah" – normal talking
Disclaimer: Do you really need to know why I'm not Stephenie Meyer? Also I don't own the lyrics to Help! By the Beatles.
Oh yeah I'm not good at coming up with chapter names… help?
Edwards Point of View (I could've just written POV but oh well)
"Help, I need somebody, Help, not just anybody, Help, you know I need someo-" I groaned, and then shut off my radio. Is it me or does music only seem to get worse? The eighties are bearable. I can only hope the nineties will be better, but at this rate. It'll only get worse. Maybe I should ask Alice, what the music would be like in the future.
I tried to tune my radio to a good station, but I had been travelling for a few hours and everything was static or country. I shivered, not like it was possible but you get the idea, country isn't my style. I should've brought some CD's with me, but this was randomly sprung on me and my family wanted me to survey Forks as soon as possible so we can make the decision of whether or not we should move there next. So I didn't have enough time to get some of my personal favourites. So here I am in my shiny silver Volvo, with nothing but static and country music. I can't even hear the thoughts of anyone, so now I'm in my shiny silver Volvo, with nothing to listen to but static and country music. I hate the country side.
This is going to be really long, if Emmett was here it would be bearable, at least there would be someone to talk to. Although, if Emmett was here the trip could actually take longer, that idiot can't be quiet and he gets sidetracked easily. I wouldn't be surprised if we had to take a lot of side stops and get to Forks hours later than the actual time. If he actually was here I would probably wish that he wasn't, just because he can't keep quiet.
If Emmett was here then Rose would also be here. If Rose was here with Emmett it would be worse, they would be making out in the back seat, which would be worse than just Emmett here. Not to also mention awkward.
Wow that's a nice car, what's it doing in a small town like this? Civilisation? It better be Forks I don't think I can last in that car for an extra second. No offence or anything Volvo, but I really need someone to talk to and something to listen to.
I saw a small petrol station and pulled up. I looked up and in flashing neon lights was the words 'Fill Up at Kuna's Station.' I frowned. Kuna. I wasn't even in the state of Washington. I sighed filled up my fuel just in case, then walked to the counter.
Rawr, who's that hottie?
Mmm delicious.
I wouldn't mind going out with him…
On second thoughts, I preferred it when I couldn't hear such scandalous thoughts.
"Hey there how can I help you?" The lady at the counter asked seductively.
"Just want to fill up my fuel, pay and then leave. I'm on a very tight schedule." I said emphasising the word leave and ignored her advances.
He's hot but he really needs to loosen up, maybe at my house.
I felt disgusted. Do women now really want to lose it that fast? When I was alive it was kept until after marriage. I kept my poker face and asked calmly "How much do I owe you?"
"Sixty-nine dollars." She replied.
I stared at her blankly, took out my wallet and handed her a fifty dollar and a twenty dollar bill.
"Keep the change." I mumbled then walked out.
How could he resist me!? Quite easily.
I opened the door of my shiny silver Volvo stepped in and sped off. I am definitely not stopping here on my way back. I really don't need anyone flirting with me. I wonder how everyone else is.
Back at the Cullen House (Alice)
"Well Alice how is he?" Esme asked me. I sighed this was the tenth time she asked me in the same hour.
"Don't worry Esme, he'll be okay. Edward can control himself better than everyone, except for Carlisle. Although I had a vision that told me we would never go anywhere near Kuna, if we were to go to Forks." I said, something bad must have happened at Kuna if we were to not go anywhere near it.
"Kuna?" Emmett asked.
"Yes. Kuna." I replied
"Weird. Why Kuna? It's a small town in Idaho." Emmett said to himself.
I smiled. I waited for Edward to answer Emmett's thoughts when I realised he wasn't here. It was so weird without Edward. Whenever he was here he would comment on whatever we were thinking. I wish he would hurry back, our house feels so empty when one of us is gone. Then I gasped.
Edward walked out of his shiny silver Volvo. He then locked the doors of his Volvo. All of a sudden, Edward was running to a small house, climbing through the window he sees a crib and a baby girl wrapped up with tuffs of brown hair. He picks up the baby cradling it in his arms, then Edward leans forward piercing her soft skin with his teeth and drinks her blood.
I froze, Edward drinking a human's blood?
"Alice! What's wrong?" Jasper sincerely asked.
"I can't believe it. Edward wouldn't do such a thing. He wouldn't! What could possess him to do such a thing!?" I was in shock. Edward was the second most controlled vampire in our coven right after Carlisle. Why would he drink an innocent human's blood for? Then I felt a wave of calmness, I sighed.
"Alice dear, tell us what happened. What did you see? What did Edward do?" Carlisle asked worried about both me and Edward.
I walked to the couch and sat down. "I saw, Edward reaching Forks. The minute he stepped out of the car he ran to a house and climbed through a window an-" I was interrupted.
"He did what?" Emmett asked in total shock.
"He climbed through a window in to a human house. Do you want me to tell you what happened or not?" I snapped at him.
Emmett took a step back raising his hands protecting his body. I glared and faced the rest of my family.
"As I was saying earlier that was until Emmett interrupted me." I shot Emmett a glance; he took another step back. "Edward climbed into a human home and there was a baby girl in a crib. He took up the baby in his arms then he." I stopped, I was sure everyone else could finish what happened without me telling what happened.
"Edward wouldn't do such a thing. Also a baby! A human baby! I thought I taught him better than this!" Carlisle exclaimed.
"Are you sure Alice?" Esme asked worried about both the
"It was clear, too clear. It was like trying to predict the weather. I think it's because he has almost reached Forks and because it's so close to the event." I said.
"So percentagewise, there's a 99.9% that the child would die." Carlisle gasped.
I shook my head. "No there's a 99.99% chance of the baby dying." I answered.
"The other 0.01% is…" Esme started.
"A total random chance that Edward won't kill the child." I said in a soft voice.
I stared at Jasper. Even he was too worried about what was to happen to care about all the emotions that we were giving out. Jasper looked up at me and I smiled weakly at him, he must have felt my concern for him. He smiled back weakly then faced the ground once again concentrating on his thoughts.
I shook my head, why couldn't I have seen this earlier? When Edward was here? There was nothing we could do. We couldn't catch up to him even if we broke the speed limit ten folds the actual limit. The baby girl was doomed and all we can do is watch it all unfold.
Just Outside the border of Forks (Edward)
I looked out the window and saw a sign 'Welcome to Forks' about time. I saw green everywhere, trees, moss and grass. It's been nearly seventy years since I first came here, and the only thing that has changed is how green it is. You can't tell unless you had vampire sight, but it was definitely a lot greener than seventy years ago.
I parked my car, it was still dark out, but in this weather, it didn't really matter if it was light or dark. The clouds were shielding me from the sun. I opened the door and stepped out. I took a deep breath in. I could taste the trees, dust, moss and the moistness in the air. Mingled in with the air were human scents. It was very sweet although I had controlled myself, it took me a while but I managed to control myself around humans. My whole family could, it was only Jasper that had trouble with it. However he was getting better, I just wish he didn't have such low expectations of himself.
I took in another breath in making sure it was safe. It was this time, that there was something sweeter than all the human scents combined. Everything else blanked out, the only thing I can think about is this new scent.
Using my nose I followed the scent to a small double story house. Next to a tree was a window slightly open and inside there was the most alluring scent. I forgot everything else following my instincts I expertly climbed the tree and opened the gap of the window and slid in.
It was there in the centre of the room, but all I could see was a crib, but my instincts was telling me to walk over to the crib sink my teeth into its neck and drink the blood of whatever was in there. I slowly stepped towards the crib and in there was the prettiest baby I ever saw. With a rounded heart faced shape and tuffs of brown hair. If I had a heart it would definitely be pumping faster than ever.
My instincts were telling me to kill her now and have her blood.
Although a small part of me was telling me not to do it. Look at how innocent she is. You can't kill her.
No kill her! There's a reason that her blood smells so nice it's because you're supposed to drink it!
NO! Don't! Isn't it obvious that the reason she smells so nice is because you're futures are entwined. She's you're soul mate!
No! Don't waste such an opportunity. How often is it that you would meet someone whose blood smells better than the other entire human's out there? DRINK HER BLOOD!
I was following my instinct I picked her up out of the crib and held her in my arms I was about to bite her. It was that exact moment she opened her eyes and showed me her chocolate brown eyes. I stared at her and she smiled at me, her face splitting into a giant smile. I could do nothing but smile back at her and set her back down into the crib. I couldn't believe my eyes, before she was food but now she was my angel. I couldn't kill her, and something pulled me towards her. She was my angel. My angel stared at me with those captivating eyes. I looked at the head of her crib and there were the words Isabella Marie Swan. Isabella, it suited her.
"Isabella." I whispered. She heard me and giggled, I could only stare at her and my face broke into a smile too.
I wonder what she's thinking about. I then stared at her. I tried to concentrate, but still nothing. I couldn't tell what she was thinking not a word. How could I not hear her thoughts, she is like everyone else I hear. Human. Yet a small infant was blocking me. I would have to ask Carlisle about this. Carlisle! Maybe he could answer my questions. I had to leave. I turned my back and was about to exit through the window, but I couldn't. Something held me back, it was Isabella. I couldn't bear to leave her alone. I turned back and walked to Isabella; I leaned in over the crib and whispered.
"Isabella, I have to leave, I'll be back soon. I promise that you will never be alone. I will always protect you. Whenever you're sad, I'll be there to comfort you. Baby, I'll never leave you."
With one last look at Isabella I left through the window, shutting it. Then jumping off the tree I raced to my Volvo. I got into my Volvo then floored my car. I had to get back to Carlisle as soon as possible. If I did, then I could come back to Forks and take of Isabella, my Isabella.
And that my friend was chapter 1. I used shiny silver Volvo a lot right? Well it's the best way to describe his car and you can't describe it any other way. If you did it wouldn't be Edwards shiny silver Volvo. Also did anyone get the joke about the fuel? I know prices back then was a lot cheaper, but I really wanted to add that in but I'm pretty sure Edward could've figured that out sixty nine dollars wasn't the actual price in a second. Also 69 didn't mean what it means now but, I had to add it in oh if you don't know what it means I'll probably say it next chapter. Just an extra note my exams are in two weeks… and this weekend is longer (from the 1st to the 4th which happens to be America's 31st to 3rd (I live in a totally different continent) so I will be spending that time studying! So don't expect any updates soon. I also have camp from the 17th to the 21st (America's 16th to 22nd) so even less updates aren't you guys so lucky?
