Chapter 1

Title: Lost Love

Preview: This happens when Edward leaves Bella and he hasn't come back for a year. This is my first story so tell me if it's good or not. Thanks!

Bella's POV:

I walked through the woods where he had taken me for a "walk" a year ago. I forced myself to forget the incident. If he forgot about me, shouldn't I forget him? I tried not to, but it never works. Charlie was out with Billy. As I walked deeper and deeper, memories from my happier era flashed through my mind. I hear my lullaby in my ear. For some reason, I had this odd feeling, a feeling like I was going leave. But at the same time, it felt nice, like I was going to see someone I haven't seen in a long time. Then, all of a sudden I saw a flash of red.

Victoria.

She came up to me, her blood red eyes glaring at me.

"Hello Bella." her dangerous, high pitched voice snarled at me. I was frozen, I couldn't move at all. She leaned towards me showed off her gleaming teeth.

"Where's your sweet little Edward?" his name ripped through me like a someone stabbed me in the chest.

"H-he's not here right now." I stammered. Victoria's eyes were amused, she smiled a mocking smile.

"You know how I was going to kill you? Well I decided not to. Instead, I'll make you wish for death yourself." She said. I stared at her not understanding what she meant. All I heard was my heart pounding in my ear. Victoria leaned in towards my throat. I realized what she mean at once. I tried to run away, but her nails gripped my arms, cutting them. Her teeth sunk into my skin, and then she let go of my skin. I didn't feel anything at first. But then, it felt like there was a fire inside of me. The pain brought back my memory of when James had bitten me.

The whole time I felt like killing myself. I wanted to die. If I opened my eyes, Victoria was standing over me, sneering. After what felt like years, the flame eased up and began to retreat. However, my heart raced. It was fluttering like a humming bird's wings. The fire was in my heart and throat now.

"Enjoying yourself Bella?" Victoria's voice whispered in my ear. The heat was building up, I couldn't stand it anymore. I vaguely remembered Alice telling me how painful the change was. I now understood what he meant. And, then all of a sudden, my heart stopped. The fire was still in my throat, but it was gone everywhere else. I couldn't hear my heart either. At this point, it should've been pounding. I looked up, and all I saw were trees. When I got up on my feet, I didn't find anyone. Not even Victoria. Where had she gone? All I saw was emptiness. How was I going to survive?

Edward's POV:

I gazed out into empty space. It has been exactly a year since I left Bella. I wasn't sure how I was going to survive for any amount of time. Already it took all my willpower just to last for a few minutes. I stayed at my family's house for a while. Nobody thought about her. The whole time I was there, I only spoke when someone asked me something. Then, i didn't think anything about it. But now, I felt horrible. I was taking out my misery out on my family. Wherever I looked all I saw was Bella. There was only one option, to go and and check on her. But I couldn't. I couldn't make myself go there, I won't be able to leave her again. I wouldn't be able to keep her safe.

Bella's POV:

I realized the constant burn in my throat was my thirst. But I obviously couldn't hunt humans like the cruel vampire who changed me. I would follow the ways of my was-going-to-be family. So, I bent down into a crouch i dimly remembered from my past life from when I first met Edward's family. The memory tore me a little. Then, all of a sudden, i was flying. While I ran, I caught a whiff of an unappealing, but wet, warm smell of an animal. It was an Elk. I jumped up and my teeth found the animal's neck and I sunk my teeth into it. The warm liquid ran down my throat, appealing my thirst. Once the animal ran dry, I kicked it out of the way.

"Ugh, I can't believe I'm still thirsty" I muttered to myself. I was surprised to hear my voice. It was amazing. It was like I was singing. I grinned to myself, which felt odd to me because I didn't do it in a such a long time. I sounded, and moved like a vampire.

~A few months later~

Bella's POV:

I stalked out of my apartment, and climbed into my car. I threw my bag on the passenger seat ad closed my eyes. When I closed them, I saw Forks High School with the Cullens. But it was different now. It was only Bella the vampire going to that school. Well, actually, Amanda Greene. I started the engine of my Audi, and backed out of my driveway. When I reached the school, it looked the same. I was sure that the teachers I had more than a year ago were still here. I parked my car and climbed out. When i gracefully, without tripping, entered the building, everybody stared at me. A rush of warm, mouth-watering smells filled my nose. I saw Mrs. Cope eyeing with a confused expression. Shoot! What if she knows its me? Crossing my fingers I entered the small hot room.

"Hello. Welcome to Forks High School. Tell me your name and I'll give you your schedule." Mrs. Cope told me smiling. The look in her eyes still stayed confused.

"Hi. I am B-" Oops, a slip. "Amanda Greene."

"Hello dear, here is your schedule." I smiled a dazzling smile as she handed the sheet of paper to me. I saw my reflection in her glasses, My eyes were a amber color. I didn't hunt in a while and I came to school with a half empty stomach.

I looked at my schedule.

1st period: AP Calculus

2nd period: AP Biology

3rd period: Spanish

4th period: Lunch

5th period: AP English

"Thank you Mrs. Cope." I smiled again.
