Chapter 2 – Destruction of a Husband

It had been close to nine months since Annabel had arrived in Forks, and it was so cold and depressing she really wished she was at home with Edward.

"Anna dear…"

"Yes Aunt Mille."

"You have a visitor." Aunt Millie announced.

Annabel seemed stunned she was confused then she thought about Edward, and her heart soared.

"Hello Anna…" He greeted with a happy smirk.

Edward looked different from when she left he was pale, and look thinner than before. His emotions undetectable, and the passion and love she once saw in her husband eyes was now gone. She knew Edward wasn't himself, and something was wrong.

"Edward I missed you so much." She wept hugging him, as her body pressed against his it was ice cold.

"I missed you too." He replied with minimal emotion. "Can we go for a walk or something?"

"Yes of course." Annabel smiled. "Aunt Millie I'll be back later."

Edward and a very pregnant Annabel took a walk through the forest and Edward proceeded to tell Annabel the whole truth.

"Anna I have so much to tell you." He began.

"Yes of course I'm all ears." She smiled attentively.

"My mother and father passed away."

"I'm so sorry Edward." She tried to comfort.

"And I became very ill before they died." He stumbled with his words. "I nearly died, and then Carlisle…"

"Carlisle did what Edward?" She asked confused.

"You're going to think I'm crazy."

"Edward just tell me please."

"Carlisle is a Vampire… and he turned me into one." Edward hollered angry with what he had become. "I'm a monster, I hear people's thoughts, and I will be forced to live forever."

"Edward you are not a monster." Annabel tried to comfort.

"Annabel I am." He began lunging towards her. "You don't realize how hard it is for me to control myself."

"Control yourself from what?" Annabel inquired still unafraid, but rather confused.

"From killing you…" He clenched his fists and sobbed angrily. "Anna I've only been like this for six months, but your blood is the sweetest thing I've smelt in my life, and I'm afraid I will hurt you."

"Edward I've known you since we were children, and I know you would never hurt me regardless of some urge."

"Annabel I'm scared that I might." He added fighting back his emotions. "And in turn hurt the baby as well."

"Edward trust me, you couldn't even if you tried."

After Edward told Annabel what had happened to him and she was terrified on the inside. She had never been more scared in her entire life. Not because Edward could kill her instantly, but because he would go on forever with nothing but a future.

Edward walked Annabel back to her Aunt Millie's and then dashed back to the house Carlisle had purchased that wasn't to far from Forks.

Edward walked in and he seemed confused about a few things. For one Annabel wasn't scared of him regardless of what he told her, and second he couldn't hear her thoughts. He could hear everyone's thoughts, but when he was with Annabel all he heard was the sounds of the forest.

"Carlisle I just saw Annabel, and I'm a bit confused on something."

"What is it?" He replied.

"Well since you turned me I could hear everyone's thoughts, but when I was with Annabel… I heard nothing."

"I'm not sure why that is, but it probably just has to do with your feelings about her." Carlisle explained. "Anyway how is Annabel and the baby?"

"She's even more beautiful than I remember, and the baby should be coming any day now." Edward smiled with joy and pride. "Carlisle will you deliver the baby?"

"Of course."

"Well will you come check on her when I visit her tomorrow?"

"Yes Edward." He sighed with a smile.

Annabel awoke the next morning feeling achy, and her back began to cramp up. The pain was almost agonizing. She went down to the kitchen to make some breakfast, and then there was a knock at the door. It was Edward and Carlisle and as they entered through the doorway Annabel's water broke.

"I guess we came just in time." Carlisle smiled noticing the fluid on the floor.

"She is having the baby now?" Edward asked shocked.

Annabel began going into labor, and a few hours had gone by now it was time to push and she felt so weak.

"Push Anna…" Carlisle instructed.

"Come on darling just bite down and push." Edward tried to encourage.

"I can't…" She screamed.

"Come on Anna just two more big ones and it will be all over." Carlisle added.

Annabel let out one huge push and her baby girl was out. The last thing she heard was crying and then she blacked out.

"Anna…" Edward began panicking. "Anna?"

Carlisle checked her pulse and it was very weak he turned to look at Edward and he asked Edward a very important question.

"Edward she's fading quickly." Carlisle began. "It's not too late to change her."

"I don't want her to have this curse." He sighed.

"Edward if I don't she will die."

"Carlisle leave me with my wife."

Carlisle left the room with Annabel and Edward's newborn daughter. Edward gazed upon his wife's stiff body. He began to contemplate a life without her and as much as he wanted her to live a normal life he wanted to be with her forever.

His mind was made up he was going to attempt to turn her. He sunk his teeth into her warm flesh and once her blood caressed his lips he couldn't control himself, from the overwhelming blood lust. Before it was too late he managed to pull himself off her.

She lay cold almost dead, Edward knew he probably sucked the venom out when her continued to drink. He looked at his wife and bite her once more hoping it would bring her back, but all hope seemed lost. Carlisle walked in with the baby and saw the blood and Annabel's limp body.

"Edward… you didn't." He replied shocked.

Edward overwhelmed with emotions wept angrily from his actions. The love of his life was dead he wished he could go back and stop himself. Edward walked to his daughter, and looked at Carlisle and instructed him on what to do with Emilee.

"Find my daughter a good home." He wept. "I can't risk hurting her as well."

"I will" Carlisle complied.

Annabel was moved to the morgue, Carlisle had found a home for Emilee. All seemed well but Edward was overwhelmed with grief and he disappeared. The next day when Carlisle returned her body was gone. He suspected Edward wanted to say his goodbyes so he didn't seem to worry.

When in fact Annabel was not dead at all Edward had succeeded in turning his wife. However when Annabel awoke she was frantic. She had two set of bite marks both on her left wrist. She had no clue where her daughter was it seemed as if Edward had disappeared as well as Carlisle. Anna was all alone now, and she began to search for her daughter, and then when she found Emilee she would begin the search for her beloved Edward.
