JUNE 6th, 2009 UPDATE:
This is for everyone's information who is beginning to read this story: I am warning you now, you will NOT be seeing the other Cullen's (AKA: Edward, Carlisle, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie) in this story for a while. They will be in the story eventually just not anytime soon. If this upsets you, I'm sorry but this is how things are going to be. There IS a reason why the story is under the "FAMILY/ANGST" category and not the "Romance/Angst" category.
ALSO I'm splitting this story into two parts. Part One is what the Summery says: Bella and Jasper's life during the Vampire Wars. Part Two will focus on their life with the Cullen's. I hope this clears things up for people (as I've been asked to "hurry up and get things moving along already" and "get to Edward already")
So I hope this clears things up for you all and I hope that even though this may not be what you want, I hope you will still give my story a chance. Thank you.
- Rip.

Prologue
APOV
-Mississippi circa 1920-
I slowly opened my eyes after enduring what seemed like ages of complete and total hell. Everything seemed like it was in an icy clear focus. I found myself lying on the ground somewhere. Unsure of where I was I jumped up faster than I could have thought humanly possible. As I took in my surrounding I found myself alone in the forest.
Without really thinking about it I raised my hand to scratch the back of my neck but when I caught sight of my arm I was completely confused. I did a double take. I had always been tan, not dark tan but still tan. As I looked at my skin now though it was a deathly pale color.
From where I was I jumped up and ran. I ran until I found a small lake, standing by the edge. I looked into the lake and squeaked out a small gasp when I caught sight of my reflection. Before me was a gorgeous, pixie-like girl standing around 4'10 with short, spiky jet-black hair. But what stunned me the most was the shocking blood red eyes that stared back at me through the reflection and the white as snow paled skin.
And that was when I knew I wasn't human any longer.
After that I left my small watering hole to try and find someone who could explain what had happened to me. I ran at a very fast speed—faster than what I could have ever ran before. But suddenly I froze my movements as the outside world started to get fuzzy.
At first all I saw was a dark forest but then I saw myself—or well my new self—with two stunning other creatures. But things were different, instead of my blood red eyes I now had gold eyes while both of the creatures by me had the blood red eyes I had now. There was both a male and a female with me. The male was beautiful, he had honey blond colored hair and was tall and muscular, towering way above me. The female was also very beautiful. She had dark brown hair that flowed down to middle of her back and the perfect figure. The three of us were running in the woods and laughing. It seemed like the perfect picture.
Then the picture faded away and I saw myself, the female and the male meeting with five more lovely creatures. The thing they had in common were their beautiful honeysuckle colored eyes. There were three males and two females. They all looked surprised to see us and there was a bronze haired man who was scowling at me for some strange reason before he turned to the female that I had been with in the previous picture and started to stare at her intently and then in frustration.
Then that scene faded away and I was seeing the eight of us running through the woods. I saw myself attack a deer in the woods and sink my teeth into the flesh. I saw the gorgeous blond headed male from my first picture doing the same near me. I watched as I totally drained the deer of blood before I tore the remains to pieces and disposed of them. The blond headed man did the same. He looked up at me and gave me a dazzling smile. Only something was different—he too now had golden eyes.
And just as quickly as the picture had came it was gone. I know knew three things—I was a vampire. Two, I wouldn't drink from humans but I would drink animal blood instead like in the picture. And three, I would find those vampires from the pictures.
Okay, so there is the prologue! What do you think, should I continue or not? It's up to you, please review! NO FLAMES!
