THE VAMPIRE THAT TIME FORGOT- Chapter One

The vampire sighed as he watched the sun rising. He knew that time was growing short, that he would have to move again. Soon. He surveyed the land that he had called home for the last two hundred years. He would miss it. The vampire turned away and walked back into the house from where he stood on the balcony. He began to pack up his possessions using his vampire speed before shrinking them with his magic. He stopped when he reached the single portrait in the room.

In the portrait were a group of men and women posing for the artist. Twelve men and women stood tall, serious, whilst another seven sat on the ground by their feet. His eyes were drawn to the three figures in the middle. He saw himself, standing tall and grimed face. Hadrian Black. Well technically he was Harry Potter when the portrait was made. The figures on either side of him brought a small smile to his face. Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron grew up finally during the last years of the war. Hermione, well Hermione was killed in action several hours before he finally killed Voldemort.

Even after more than two millennia he still remembered seeing her broken body lying on the battlefield. Hadrian had flown into a rage that he had never even attempted to stop. He had slaughtered death eaters by the dozen that day until he finally cast the killing curse at the vile man who started it all. Unlike many of his kind, Hadrian remembered his human life. He had been turned when he was just twenty one years old. Four years later and the war was over.

Looking back at the portrait, he smiled fondly as he remembered them. The Weasley twins. Remus. McGonagall. Luna. Neville. Seamus. Dean. Tonks. Andromeda. Kingsley. Molly. Arthur. Bill. Charlie. Moody. And finally, Snape. Out of everyone, Snape was the one that Hadrian missed the most. They had put aside their animosity during his last year at Hogwarts and had developed a healthy respect each other. It was Snape who he went to when he was bitten. And it was Snape who helped him move on after the war.

Hadrian sighed before shaking his head to clear it of memories. Quickly he took the Portrait down and shrunk it before adding it to his other possessions. Hadrian knew he was different from a typical vampire. He kept his magic after he was turned. In fact, it grew stronger until he never needed to use a wand anymore. That was the only thing that kept him sane.

Once everything was packed he shut the house up, made sure the wards around his home to keep everyone away was still strong and apparated away.

Alice suddenly dropped the vase she was holding as a vision took over. Jasper was immediately at her side,

"Alice. What did you see?" the other members of the family appeared in the room. Alice looked over at her mate,

"A visitor." She whispered. "He will be here soon"

"Do you recognize him?" Jasper asked. She shook her head.

"Is he coming here for Renesmee?" Bella asked worriedly as she clutched Renesmee tightly in her arms.

"I don't know" Alice replied helplessly. "All I know is that he will be here soon." Edward watched the vision in her mind, trying to find any details that could help but found none.

"Then there is nothing we can do until he arrives" Carlisle spoke up, the voice of reason as always.

They were all tense. Ever since they found out that the Volturi were after them, all of them had been on edge. They had managed to accumulate several witnesses to stand with them against the charges that Renesmee was an immortal child. The wolves, they knew would fight with them since Jacob had imprinted on her.

It wasn't until five days later that Alice's vision came to pass.

Hadrian sighed as he exited the estate agency. He had managed to find the perfect place a few miles away from the small town called folks.

'Who names a town after a piece of Cutlery anyway?' he thought in slight amusement. He stepped into his car, a black Bugatti Veyron. He knew it was one of the fastest if not the fastest cars in the world. Not caring for the speed limit, Hadrian took off at over 100 miles per hour down the road. After fifteen minutes he drove up to what was more a mansion than house. It was a white brick four storey's high mansion complete with pillars yet had plenty of windows. He smirked, knowing that the price he had spent on it was nothing compared to the vast fortunes he had saved up over the centuries. Truthfully, he was the richest man alive, well dead. He pulled his car into the garage, noticing that his two other cars and motorbike had also already been delivered.

Hadrian opened the front door and stepped into the massive hallway. It was elegant and simple by design yet practically screamed wealth at the same time. He took his time, wandering around. He counted that he had twelve bedrooms; all ensuite. A foyer, a cloak room, a ballroom, a gallery, a kitchen, three living rooms, two sitting rooms, two dining rooms, a library, a private study/library, a downstairs bathroom, a games room, a gym and a cinema room complete with all the newest electronics. That did not include the indoor swimming pool, pantry and wine cellar and basement.

Entering the grounds, Hadrian noticed that he had an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, two acre of garden as well as five miles worth of woods. Nodding his head in satisfaction, Hadrian began the long task of warding his property.

Twelve hours later and his property was warded so tightly that nothing without his permission could enter. He knew that anyone attempting to enter would die a very painful death if they persisted. Hadrian was not a push over. He didn't deliberately go out and kill innocent people; however he didn't have any qualms about killing if and when necessary.

"He has arrived" Alice informed her family as she flittered into the room where they all were. Their guests had decided to go hunting a couple of counties away, leaving them all alone.

"Shall we go and visit him?" Esme asked. Emmett and Jasper looked excited to do so. Bella and Edward looked worried whilst Rosalie looked like she couldn't be bothered either way.

"Not yet. We'll go tomorrow. Let him have time to settle in." Carlisle informed everyone.

"Why? If he's an enemy, he's not exactly going to live long" Jacob said snidely from where he sat next to Renesmee.

"Jake!" Bella admonished him.

"We don't know that for sure yet Jacob" Carlisle refuted, "I don't want to make another enemy if it turns out he is not here for us" the majority of them conceded that point.

"Are we all going to go?"

"No, only Edward, Jasper, Emmett, Alice and myself." Carlisle told him.

Hadrian decided that he had better go into town and buy food, just to keep up appearances of being normal. He rolled his eyes as he got into his favorite car. Although he did not mind humans, being alone for the last five centuries tended to make him a bit wary of them. He was a loner, had been ever since the last of his friends died. He distrusted everyone who had not proved that he should do otherwise yet was perfectly polite to everyone. Once again Hadrian ignored the street laws and speed all the way to the supermarket.

"Are you sure this is where he will be?" Emmett asked Alice,

"Yes! For the last time Emmett this is where we will find him" Alice told him aspirated.

"If Alice says he will be here, he will be" Carlisle told him, shutting them all up in the process. They wandered inside and began to study random food to avoid being out of place. Five minutes later they heard a purr of a car outside. They all looked at the doors a few seconds later as to give the person time to get out of their car and walk in. When the glass doors slid open, it took a lot of effort for them to not drop their mouths. Their eyes widened as they took in the mysterious stranger.

Hadrian was 6'4 inches tall and was broad shouldered. His dark raven hair, he had grown to his shoulders as to make it manageable. Surprisingly in worked and fell in soft wavy locks. His piercing dark eyes darted everywhere, taking in everything at once. He had a commanding presence which screamed danger and power. All in all, Hadrian looked like the perfect pureblood lord of old.

"That's him?" Emmett stared in shock. Alice nodded. Hadrian's eyes instantly turned on them.

"He knows what we are" Edward breathed quietly.

"You can read him?" Carlisle asked. Edward shock his head,

"No however it does not take a genius to figure out that he can hear us" Edward replied, somewhat shocked.

"Jasper, can you feel him?"

"No" Jasper replied.

Hadrian inwardly smirked, he now knew that not only was one of the resident vampires a mind reader but another one was also an empath. He thanked Snape privately for teaching him occlumency. He decided that he would wait until they made the first move; therefore he turned away from them, retrieved a trolley and began to shop. The Cullen family continued to shadow him as he went about picking up whatever food took his fancy. Eventually he finished and checked out before heading back outside to his car. He heard a choked gasp behind him from one of the vampires and had to smirk. After putting the bags away in the boot he spun round to face them,

"I will be willing to meet you and yours in one hour in the clearing eight miles from here by the boulders. Is that acceptable to you?" Hadrian's voice was quiet and emotionless. Carlisle nodded cautiously,

"We will be there" Hadrian gave him a sharp nod before getting into his car and speeding away. As soon as he was gone Emmett opened his mouth,

"That was a Bugatti Veyron!" he choked out. Though the others didn't know as much about cars they knew that was a big thing.

"It costs over $2 million" he added. Even Carlisle looked shocked at the amount. Whilst they were very well off, even they didn't spend that much on a single car.

"We should let the rest of them know what's happening" Edward commented. The rest of them nodded and together they took off back home.

"So he's a vampire who can block both Edward and Jasper?" Bella summarized the conversation.

"That's the basis, yes" Carlisle agreed.

"He's dangerous" Jasper added. They all looked at him. "I know just by looking at him that he is a soldier"

"That's just great" Jacob grumbled.

"Carlisle, we need to get going" Esme informed her husband. A quick glance at the clock showed she was correct.

"Just remember, do not attack unless he does first. Understood?" he warned his family. There were a couple of grumbles at that but nevertheless they agreed. Together they left.
