Last time on All's Fair In Love and War:

"We're here!" Alice said in a singsong voice.

"And exactly where is here?" I responded.

"LOOK!" Alice shouted.

I was shocked at what was before my eyes.

Chapter 4: Unexpected

I was shocked at what was before my eyes. It was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. But what was she doing here? Our abilities…our senses…we could hurt her! But wait…why can't I hear her thoughts?! This has never happened to me before…today's been a weird day.

Just then, reality came crashing back into my mind. Alice. Of course! She always…eh…grr…meh. She is SUCH a meddler!!! Can't she just mind her own little business?! Always trying to match me up with my "soul mate". I'm positive I don't have one. I've almost been around for two centuries, and no one. Zip…zero…squat. Not one perfect girl for me. Not one…and look at everyone else! SO affectionate towards each other…it makes me sick. No, not sick. It makes me feel LONELY, Stop, Edward, stop thinking like that. Stop feeling alone. You are alone, and you've faced that, for almost 200 years, you probably always will be, for all you know.

But, for now, enjoy Alice's company and being in the presence of the beautiful creature before me. Wait. Is she actually hunting ANIMALS?! I thought it was only US! Ha! Someone else that's as sensible as us Cullens. I wish I could find out what's going on in her mind…

BPOV

I bet there are more animals southward…wait. What is that smell? I looked up, and stared into the eyes of one of the most handsome vampires I have ever seen. This alarmed me, because I was afraid of other vampires. I inwardly screamed, and met his confused expression. Why is he staring at me like that? But…there's a girl next to him. And why are they out here…in Boise? Who's dumb enough, other than myself, to come to this forever sunny torture chamber? I know I'm not stupid, people used to say I was far from it, but I think I've finally come to a conclusion why I live in a sunny city, keeping me bound indoors. I don't want to face other vampires. Get a hold of yourself, Bella, not all vampires are bad. Look a yourself, you're trying not to be a monster. It's not like you wished to become an eternal monster. If that blonde man hadn't bitten you, you probably would've had a nice, happy life. Had children…a family…a home. A place where people don't judge you, you're treated humanly. But, I guess I can't be treated humanly…I'm not human, after all. I'm a monster, and I always will be. No matter what I do. Born to kill…born to be the world's best predator.

Why do I keep torturing myself like this?! Maybe should go live with vampires…they may like my special power. You never know. I could live in Denali…or Volterra!!! They may welcome me with open arms, or shun me, treating me like the monster I am, that of which I always will be.

*FLASHBACK*

"Hello, my sweet." "Who…WHO ARE YOU?!" I yelled.

"Me? I'm your worst nightmare. What you will soon become." A mysterious voice whispered,

"Why? Who are you? What do you want from me?!" I murmured.

"I am James, your changer. I'm going to curse you for all eternity."

"What do you mean?!" I whispered, barely loud enough to hear.

"You'll soon find out…," He replied, and then he was standing before me.

He took my face into his hands, moved my hair to the side, and tilted my head, He then knelt his head down, and bit in.

*END FLASBACK*

"James." I muttered.

I then let out a bloodcurdling scream.

EPOV

"James."

"AAH!" I heard. Ouch. THAT was loud. Did she just scream? Why? What was that for? What was she screaming at…us?

As if she was trying to prove my thoughts wrong, she looked up from the ground that she had been staring at for some time, and stared straight into my eyes.

I have no idea how long we stayed like that, just staring into each other's eyes, but it seemed like forever. It seemed like we had stayed like that for a very long time…not days, not hours, not minutes, and certainly not seconds.

It seemed as if we had a strange connection to each other, and neither of us broke away from our stares,

Until it hit me. Why did she scream?

My thoughts were broken, my heart, whatever was left of the still thing, felt shattered, Was she so afraid of us…her own kind? She doesn't even know us.

She then broke away from our stare, looked around, and then noticed Alice.

She spent about a split second staring at Alice and then turned around. And did what I was begging, pleading for her not to do.

She ran.

"WAIT!" I yelled. I then ran after her, trying to track her by her dominant smell. But she was gone.

"Did you find her?" Alice questioned, appearing next to me.

"Nope. Dang, she's good," I sighed. I plopped down and laid my head against a nearby maple tree, and once again thought about this beautiful vampire. She was unusually beautiful. Unique…why am I thinking of her? This is so strange…

And then I realized. Alice. This was Alice's doing. Most definitely.

"Alice? Did you lead me here on purpose? To meet her?"

"Well…" She began.

Whatever the case, she was definitely not expecting us.
