CHAPTER 7! :D

Hello, my name is Alexandria but you can call me Lexie. I was born on November 21, 1902 in Chicago Illinois. I was turned into a vampire while searching for a dear friend of mine. Edward Anthony Masen. I sighed as I remembered back to the summer of 1918

*flashback*

The afternoon was warm and crisp. The sun appeared to be setting. It would be dark in about an hour. There was a nice breeze flowing that kept me cool. I was on my way to the hospital doing my usual weekly routine. Edward and I have been best friends since he saved me from a bully at the park when we were 4. Ever since then he has been like a big brother. Scarring off any guy who wanted to court me. Sigh. I took it really hard when I found out he was stricken with Spanish influenza. It was devastating, heartbreaking, and horrible. His parent's had already passed from it three days ago. I went to visit him once a week, every week since I found out he was sick. In the beginning he was able to talk to me softly. Then, after a while I doubted he even noticed I was there. He was getting sicker day by day. Only going in and out of awareness. I walked in his room only to find a different patient in Edward's cot. I thought for sure I had the wrong room until I saw his nurse.

"Um, excuse me miss?" I asked, hesitating in the doorway.

She looked tired and annoyed. "Yes?" Oh, and she was rude

"I was just wondering . . . Was a Mr. Edward Anthony Masen Junior moved to a different room?" I looked hopeful

My heart sank as she replied, "Pardon, who?"

Oh, she can't be serious!

"Edward. Edward Masen. This used to be his room." Panic was rising in my voice. What if- no. That's not possible. He promised me.

She looked at me apologetically.

"I'm sorry miss. But this illness has stricken many. It's hard to keep track of all names, and faces. It's a mad house! A lot of people take people's rooms. Most likely he's"-She looked at my face and sighed. "I'm sorry." With that she went back to the patient in the cot and I walked out numbly. What was she saying? Eddie couldn't be gone! He promised me he wouldn't leave me. But wait a moment, what about the blonde doctor! The one who nursed Mrs. Masen. What was his name…..! Yes, that was his name. He must know the reason behind the fact that Edward isn't in his room. I walked around the hospital for 30 minutes looking for him and asking other doctors about him or Edward. They all didn't know where either of them was. I walked out of the hospital heartbroken. The sky was darkening and the air was getting colder. I came to a conclusion; find , Find Edward. I was going to search for them. This very night! I'm 16. Going to be 17 this November. I'm quite old enough to go on an adventure myself! Edward would have laughed at me. He always made sure I didn't get into mischief. Oh Eddie, When will you ever break at least one rule? I quickly went home, snuck past my parent's, left a note, and got ready for a weeks' worth of searching. I grabbed some food and I slipped out the servant's back door so I wasn't noticed. Well, that was easier than I thought. I smiled triumphal as I walked down the dark street, heading out of town.

Two days later

It's been two days and still no sign of the doctor or my brother. (Not real brother of course. But their thought of as siblings) I wonder what Adelaide thinks…They were pretty close, her and Edward. We were all a team in everything. Adelaide, me, Edward, Jonathan, Emmaline, and peter. Peter was Courting Emmaline. They were a cute couple. A lot of outsiders thought Adelaide and Edward were in love. But the truth was they were just friends. Although it was obvious Adelaide was head over heels for Edward. But he was just too focused on joining the military. But no one was as close as me and Edward were. A startling noise in the dark of the alley pulled me out of my reverie. I walked over to it. It was a man. He looked like he was searching for someone. But he was looking straight at me. I walked over to him.

"Hello? Sir, do you happen to know who a or Edward Masen Is? You see, they've gone missing and I really want to find them."

He didn't say anything…just get closer. The moonlight shone upon his face. His features were hansom. He was pale and had a dark, almost blackish, shade eyes.

"Hello there, I was looking for someone too" he said with a smile. He then came closer and closer. I started backing away slowly. He was creeping me out.

"Really? Anyone I can help you find?" I could hear the fear in my voice.

"Nope, I just found her." I tried to run but he was very fast. Before I knew it he had his teeth to my neck. I let out a loud, painful scream. Blackness over took me

*End of flashback*

That was the night I was turned into this cursed body. After I woke up in an abandoned basement I figured out what I was. I still continued my search….hunting humans along the way. I knew somehow Edward Masen was still alive, and I planned on finding him. And after 80 so years, I did.. I then pressed hard on the doorbell to the big white mansion.

Isabella POV

"Vampires," Edward breathed. His emerald eyes scanned over the rest of the Cullen's in amazement then rested on me. "You're human, right?"

"Yes," I agreed. He seemed fairly calm for the most part until he thought of something. Edward leaped to his feet and bounded across the room, putting as much distance between him and the immortals as possible.

"You drink blood!" he screamed, panting. I almost smiled. So, this was the reaction Vampire Edward was waiting for. Emmett chuckled then remained silent after Rosalie thumped him upside the head.

"Shut up," she growled. Edward's breath came out in wheezing breathes and for a moment I thought he was going to pass out. He glanced at me and froze.

"Why aren't you scared?" he whispered. His voice was just as musical as it was before.

"Because if they wanted your blood you would've already been dead by now. The Cullen's-" That's when the doorbell rang. The clean sound echoed throughout the mansion, ringing in my ears so loudly I had to place my hands over them. Everyone walked to the door at a human pace and Carlisle, being the leader, opened it.
