Chapter 1 - The Change
My name is Bella Swan, and I'm a vampire. I used to be happy. I used to have the best family I could ask for. My angels, and my love. It seemed like the perfect fairytale. I had my prince charming, and we were happy.
That fairytale soon came to an end. They left me. All of them. Not one word from any of them, none except him, my prince. Turns out my prince didn't love me like I thought. How could he though? I was nothing, I'm still nothing. The only difference now, I have no pulse.
Let me explain to you how my pathetic human life ended.
I was in such pain. It had been one year to the day that he left. Life was useless without him. I moved through the courses of life. Ate when I was hungry,
spoke when spoken to, and slept when i was tired. Other than that, my life consisted of constant pain, constant heartache. I tried avoiding anything that might remind me of him, it was hard but I tried.
I had been dreading this day, I knew it would be harder than most. So realizing there was no way to avoid the torture, I decided to go to our meadow. I had visited it once or twice in the past year, and felt nothing. I guess I was secretly hoping, because of the day, that there might be something...anything. Good or bad, I had made my decision.
As usual I trudged clumsily through the forest, falling on my face a couple times. Nerves took me as I thought of what I would find. What was I thinking? All this trip would accomplish would be hours of endless tears. I considered turning back when I saw it, the entrance to the clearing. I sighed and moved forward. When I finally passed through the last of the trees, I looked up only to be dissappointed. No magic exsisted here anymore. It would never be the same without...E- No! I couldn't think the name. I started to hyperventilate. I never should have come back to this place. It was really over, they were never coming back... he was never coming back.
I fell to the ground, overwhelmed by my emotions, and started to cry. I cried for what felt like hours. I let the pain engulf me. Why couldn't I just crawl into a hole and die? What was the use in going on? Three faces suddenly flashed through my mind, Charlie...Renee'...Jacob. They needed me. I would not abandon them as easily as I had been. No one deserved that, so I would endure. I would stay with them until there came a time when I wasn't needed anymore. I tried to pull myself together and stood up. I would go home fix Charlie's dinner, and keep living my charade.
As I started to walk away, I heard something in the trees. My heart jumped. "Jacob?" I called out. He had a tendancy to follow me when I went out alone. The pack had been on edge ever since Victoria escaped them. "Jacob, stop playing around, I know it's you. Now come out!" Nothing. Maybe it was nothing, after all I had just been in hysterics. My mind must be playing tricks on me. Or maybe... No! My thoughts would not wander there. I turned to leave again, there was another rustle. "Okay Jacob, enough is enough. If you don't come out in 5 seconds, I swear I'll punch you so hard Billy will feel it!" As I said this, I heard the most beautiful and terrifying laugh directly behind me.
I swirled around only to be stopped by two ice cold hands. My stomach dropped. No..It couldn't be. I must be dreaming, please let me be dreaming! Horrified I stared back into the deepest set of crimson eyes. The eyes of a monster, the eyes of Victoria.
She laughed again. My heart could not have been beating any faster. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Edward's pathetic human has gone and put herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not that I'm complaining." I cringed at hearing his name. She noticed my reaction. "Cringing at his name?" Confusion and realization hit in no less than a second. "Oh I see.." A smile suddenly spreading across that angelic deamon's face. "He's gone isn't he?" She waited for my answer, still smirking. I stood silent. I didn't need to speak, her answer was written all over my face. "Yes, well it is understandable." She spoke as if reasoning with me. "Why would a vampire ever really love a human? Your species is puny and weak. You were nothing more than a pet, I imagine. Of course he became bored with you." Her words cut deeper than imaginable. The smile never faded, and she let out a soft chuckle at my expense.
Could it be possible for my heart to break more than it already had? I sat in agony, replaying her words in my mind. She was right, how could a perfect creature ever love a clumsy human?
Suddenly from somewhere I heard a voice. It was filled with rage and loathing. I was suprised to find that it was my voice. How I had the ability to speak I don't know. "Do what you came to do Victoria." My voice laced with contempt. Her laughter stopped. She was suddenly very serious. "Don't try to be brave Bella. I will not make this quick for you." Before I could register her words, her cold lips were on my neck. Her teeth into my skin, liquid fire pouring out of them. No physical pain I had ever felt compared to this. Everything was in flames. Not even Victoria's cool hands could soothe my now scalding skin. I screamed out, calling for someone to help me, anyone. Victoria pulled back to enjoy the scene she had created. Her eyes were filled with vindication.
My eyes started to dim, as I watched her. This was it, the end. Should I be happy? All the pain of the past year would soon be at an end. Did I really want this? To be away from a world that had E..him in it. The battle in my mind was soon over. He chose to be without me, so what did it matter if I was gone. I was going to let the blackness take me, but not before I said my last goodbye. He could leave me, but he couldn't stop my love. "I love you Edward." It was all I could muster, I could barely hear my own voice as I said the words. My time was slipping fast. Before I fell to darkness, I heard a muffled growl, and what sounded a fight erupting around me. Whoever had come to help, they were too late, they couldn't save me. And then there was nothing.
Hope you like the first chapter! I'm working on the second now. I'll try to get it out in a couple of days.
