Chapter 3
The first time I fell in love was almost a month ago. I was walking in the street and I met Bryan. He was pale white and ice cold, he had black eyes and he was stunning. He had scruffy black hair which he occasionally flipped out of his eyes. He was tall and thin. He always wore the same clothes, black jeans, vans, a black leather jacket and a black t-shirt beneath. He was every emo-girls dream guy. One look at him and I wanted to be with him. He was older then I was, but he had me at 'hello'. I was naïve and clueless to the dangers to come from my sudden obsession with him. I knew he was an out-cast in society, but so was I. I had no father. I didn't know who he was. He was one of my mother's 'clients' and my mother doesn't like to keep names. I never saw my mother that often. I spent most of my time with my grandmother in my early years, but when she died I went to live with my mother. I spent my entire time in my room, hearing through the walls of my innocent sanctuary, my mother and her nightly visitor's. I didn't have much of an up-bringing, I wasn't aware of life's perks, because I never had any. Bryan made me feel good, he spoke to me in a calm tone, unlike other adults. He made me believe that he was honest and caring as I cried my eyes to out to him when my mother hit me, but he wasn't. He had told me that I'm not alone, but I was.
I thought I could never fall in love again, never trust anybody, never believe that someone cared, but that was before I saw Seth Clearwater. He was the opposite of Bryan. Seth's tanned skin had a breath-taking glow to it. His hair was the most amazing shade of dark brown. His eyes were the eyes of someone who cared, someone who would actually listen, not just pretend to. He was taller than me, had more muscle, more attractive.
His eyes widened slightly and then brightened as soon as I met his eyes. I would have blushed if I could. I suddenly felt more ashamed of what I had done to the house. Not ashamed that I had made a dent in the Cullen's wall but because Seth had seen what a monster I could be. Seth took one heavenly step closer to me, then another until he was almost standing directly in front of me.
"Hi," he said in the most angelic voice I have ever heard. His voice was running through my mind. Hearing his voice instantly made me feel better. I was still gazing into his eyes, forgetting to reply. What am I going to say "Hi I'm Lisa; I've just fallen in love with you"?
"Hi," I decided on. He broke into a dazzling smile, and chuckled slightly. I did the same; we were completely oblivious to the vampire's and werewolves around, gawking at us. Each of them had their jaws dropped.
"Hey Jacob, we got a new pool table out back, wanna check it out?" I heard Emmet say, breaking the amazing silence, but I didn't care.
"Yeah, let's all go and check it out," I heard Jacob's voice reply. I heard everybody leave the room, Seth and I were alone. Just being with him felt amazing, better than anything I ever thought I had with Bryan.
"Seth," he introduced himself, out-stretching his hand shyly.
"Lisa," I shook his hand. I couldn't feel any heat or coldness from his hand; I wanted to feel the warmth Carlisle had told me about that flowed from the werewolves.
"I've never shook a vampire's hand before," he said shyly, still holding my hand, I never wanted him to let it go.
"Well there's a first time for everything," I chuckled. "Sorry about my, well out-burst, but Emmet I've learned is a pain in the ass," I muttered.
"It's ok, it happens to the best of us," he chuckled. I loved his laugh.
"You want to sit down?" I asked, indicating to the couch. My legs were killing me.
"Sure," he said. He was still holding my hand, and he headed over to the couch, still keeping his eyes on mine. We sat down on the couch really close to each other, even though the couch was massive. There was a silence but it wasn't awkward. "Who turned you?" he asked through gritted teeth, he was suddenly angry. God is he cute when he's frustrated or what?
"A friend, his name was Bryan," I told Seth, I felt like I could tell him anything.
"Was?" he questioned, with a gleam of hope in his eyes.
"Well, he's still around, but he's dead to me," I growled. He put a reassuring hand on my back, it fitted there perfectly. I rested my head in the crook of his neck. He put his arm over my shoulder, hugging me close. I never wanted to move. Feeling his breath hit my head, his chest rising up and down in a steady pace. I felt the slight shudder he released when I he held me close; I knew I was freezing but I over-looked it.
Being a vampire I completely lose my sense of time. Seth and I had been sitting in each-others silent company for three hours, Seth had been stroking my hair, as if he had been doing it for years, without even realising it. The silence was disturbed by Sam entering the room.
"Come on Romeo we need to eat," he declared. I felt Seth sigh, I began to get off of him, but he had already picked me up over his shoulder, I started to laugh.
"Put me down," I yelled between laughs. He put me down, with a smile on his face, and looked me in the eyes. He lent towards me and kissed me quickly on the lips, not for long but I wished it could last forever. It was quick yet amazing, even though I couldn't physically feel it, I still felt as if I was walking on clouds. With that he left with Sam. I watched him leave the room and heard him leave the house. There was a sudden sound of cloths being ripped to shreds and the familiar sound of heavy paws slamming against the ground faded away. I sighed happily yet confused at what I had just experienced and walked out of the room, only to be greeted by the beaming faces of the Cullen's.
"Ok, what just happened?" I asked the confusion in my voice obvious.
"Seth imprinted on you!" squealed Alice excitedly. Carlisle had told me about werewolves 'imprinting' on a person. He said and I quote, 'that one person or their true love, so to speak, they have to be with that person for the rest of their life or they wouldn't be able to go on, it would be both physically and mentally impossible'. Had Seth really imprinted on me? I felt myself break into a smile.
"Really? I mean are you sure?" I asked the Cullen's. It was Edward that spoke next.
"You should have heard the kid's thoughts. God I felt like killing myself, I can only take so much sappy-love quotes," Edward scoffed. I attempted to give him a glare but I was too happy and I just ended up laughing slightly. My laughter suddenly stopped when reality washed over me. I'm a vampire, which means I'm immortal, but Seth isn't. Seth will one day die and I won't. Oh my god! I started to rub my eyes. Why are they so freaking itchy!
"Are you ok?" asked Esme with concern.
"No, my eyes are .ITCHY! Christ!" I screamed, it felt like my eyes were burning.
"That is probably because you haven't fed yet," explained Jasper.
"Ok then, what do I do?" I asked slightly defeated.
"Edward, will you bring her out hunting?" Carlisle asked Edward. There was a silence while he considered this.
"Ok," stated Edward "Let's go," and he headed towards the door. I looked at Esme with concern and she nodded at me encouragingly, so I followed Edward out of the house. Edward walked into the forest and I was at his heals. I wasn't really sure what we were actually hunting.
"The first thing you need to know about my family and I, is that we don't drink human blood, ever. We only drink the blood of animals, drinking human blood is amazing but it is wrong," he explained. There was a sudden smell of animal; the animal was defiantly a deer of some sort. I gave Edward a questioning look and he only nodded.
I didn't need any more convincing, I took off into the woods at an impossibly fast speed, following my sharp sense of smell. I smelt the deer to my right, I swerved right and I could see the deer. It wasn't a young deer, it was close to death whether I caught it or not. I silently ran up behind the grazing deer and scooped it up. That was easy, I silently laughed to myself. I wasn't expecting the deer to kick me in the stomach, I dropped my prey in surprise and the deer took off running in the opposite direction. Damn it! I followed the deer again, but this time I had to run faster as the deer wasn't standing still. It was easy to catch up with the once escaping animal. But actually getting a grasp on the terrified animal was the more difficult part.
I decided to lunge at the animal. I slammed into it, while it was running, instantly killing it but still forcing myself into the ground with it. I picked the dead body of the animal and ran back to where I had left Edward. I dumped the animal at his feet. He looked impressed.
"Impressive, I didn't expect you to catch it on your first time out," admitted Edward.
"You need to have more faith in your students," I joked doing a Chinese bow to him. I saw a smirk appear at the side of his mouth. I straight away knew what he was thinking, I could smell it too.
"Let's see just how good the student is compared to the master," Edward sneered and then took off into the forest.
"Hey, no head start!" I yelled with a laugh because I was right behind him, trying to over-take him, but Edward is very fast. I finally got to a stage where I was running along-side Edward, frequently ducking under branches and jumping over logs and shrubbery. I could still smell the scent of blood, coming nearer and nearer. Almost there! I'm going to win! I was in front of Edward when we arrived at a clearing at the same time. There was a big horse-chestnut mare standing in the clearing, its reins were tied up to a tree. This horse was a pet, not prey. I looked at Edward and he nodded and we raced home, I ignored the fact that the horse had no rider, because a horse like that isn't cheap and I couldn't smell human scent, anywhere.
Feeding was an entirely different experience to what I expected it to be. I got to drain the animal dry and it was amazing. Feeling the warm blood run down my throat instantly energised me. I felt alert and ready to take on the cruel world. I had been three days since I had seen Seth for the first time, and I missed him every day more and more. I had fed twice in the last three days. Alice thought I was ready to go shopping with her, something I was and wasn't looking forward to. I was never much of a shopper, not that I ever really got a chance to go. Whenever my grandmother would bring me shopping it would be for food, rarely clothes. I was almost scared to go shopping with Alice, because let's just say her sense of style doesn't really match my own.
I had never been in a shopping centre before, let alone one the size as the shopping centre in Forks. The place had hundreds of stores, maybe not hundreds but close enough to that number.
"Whoa," was all I could manage when Alice dragged me into the three storey shopping complex.
"Yeah, it has that effect on people. It is new and has all the best stores!" Alice squealed she seemed more excited than I should have been. I am a fourteen year old girl who has never been in a shopping mall, but I wasn't used to going to these kind of places, it was never really my scene, but Esme had insisted that I go with Alice, so I kind of had to come along. "Oh, I know you'll love this store!" Alice declared, dragging me into a small store with the name 'Fallen Angels' written in fancy writing above the door. I took a look in and she was right, this is my kind of store. Ok maybe shopping with Alice won't be such a crime. We spent hours in the store, trying on various out-fits; Alice even got me into a dress, which was a first for me. It was a 'simple black day dress' as Alice had described it as, she had told me that with my combat boots and a pair of dark purple tights I'd have Seth falling to his knees.
Alice and I were walking back to her car, a yellow convertibly SUV, with a load of bags. I had only ever had the cloths on my back and now I had an entire wardrobe full. I pushed our bags into the boot of Alice's car-Alice was already in her seat-when a voice coming from behind me startled me.
"Hey," I heard Seth say from behind me, I spun around to meet his loving gaze.
"Hey," I smiled at him. I never expected him to be here, but I was ecstatic that he was.
"Will you take a walk with me?" he asked hopefully. Inside I was screaming like a teenage girl who had just met Justin Bieber, uhg, I feel like such a girl. Play it cool Lisa.
"Sure, just let me tell Alice-," I stopped talking as I saw the rear of Alice's SUV speed out of the parking-lot. "Never mind," I laughed. I walked with Seth out the other side of the parking lot, where there was a lot of forestry. Occasionally I felt his hand brush slightly off my own and I wanted nothing more than to take it, but something told me not to, that it wasn't the right time. We were deep into the forest, when I realised that we had been walking for almost an hour. We stopped in the middle of a clearing, there were trees surrounding it and it was shaded, but still bright. The place was beautiful. Neither of us was going to break the silence anytime soon. It was painful; I wanted to nothing more than kiss him.
"So-" I started to say, but was greatly cut off by Seth's lips crashing into mine. Thank God! I wrapped my arms around his neck as I deepened the kiss. His hands were gripping tightly to my waist, forbidding me from moving-not that I wanted to. We were there for a while, casually making out in the middle of the forest when we were stopped by a snarling sound coming from the trees. Seth pushed me protectively behind him, but I stayed close to his-afraid he would get hurt. I saw a dark grey wolf emerge from the forest. It was as big as Seth-when in his wolf form- but it looked stronger.
"Paul," Seth growled at the grey wolf.
