Hi. I never thought I would be writing fanfiction. I only read it. But I had to do something for Edward. So I'm comin' in!

The Two

Rating: PG

1

From behind the steering wheel of her old car, Nora looked up at the huge, dark old mansion on the hill. It had been two months since Jim and Edward had killed each other up there that night. The town had eventually returned to the way it was before Peg had brought Edward down. In fact it was almost as if he had never existed. They all referred to Jim's untimely death as an "accident" that occurred at the empty mansion on the hill, never mentioning Edward. It was as if they wanted to believe that he had never been among them.

But Nora remembered Edward. His presence about town had been like a brief, misty hallucination. There had been something about him besides his scissor hands and strange appearance that she could not forget. A certain quality, maybe of innocence or purity, that she couldn't quite put her finger on. But he was dead and gone - only a faint memory to her.

Now, as she sat in her car looking up at the house with it's dark, empty windows, all she wanted was to be inside it. To be in the dark quiet that it's emptiness promised her. For a moment she recalled how as a child she had found a massive boulder in a thick grove of trees that she liked to lay on to be alone. The tree branches above her were so low they brushed her body and made her feel cozily hidden. But this old house promised an even greater hiding place. A place that perhaps she could make into her own special place of aloneness. Maybe deep in the dark depths of it she could find peace. And maybe she could find a connection with her memory of Edward there. In the place he had come from and perished in. There was a faint ache in her chest as she thought of him.

End of Chapter 1

Note: I hope you all are not too into Kim cause she's outta here and Nora is in. Do you want her physical description in the story or do you want no description so you can put yourself in the story or think of her anyway you want?
I want to thank all who came before me at FanFiction, especially the Edward fans. You have been a great inspiration. Now do your worst to me with your reviews, it doesn't matter, I still love ya and I can't wait to hear from you.
