Chapter 1.

BPOV

How can one survive without the person they long for? Is it possible to love the one person forever? Does the aching ever cease? If someone can answer these questions then please let me know. It's been over seventy years and I must go on without him, my love, my Edward. Although we were only together for a short time. the love between us was powerful and amazing. My bones ache with the longing to see him again, his beautiful emerald green eyes, bronze hair, his velvety voice and musical laugh.

I first met Edward Anthony Masen in Chicago 1917. I was training to be a nurse and he was going to study medicine at university. Our parents had become friends over a shared love of helping others. The four of them met while attending a charity ball and they then introduced Edward to me. Our parents had obviously been thinking that Edward would be a perfect match for me and I for him ... they were right. We were perfect for each other. We both loved music and art. When I was around him I felt whole, he was my other half, my missing piece in life.

In 1918 he got the Spanish Influenza. The hospital he was staying at was the same one that I was doing my nurse training at. It was hard for me to see him so weak and frail. When we both became friends with Dr. Carlisle Cullen he seemed to start to get better but then one night while I was off duty he died. I got the news the next day. What hurt the most was that I never got to say goodbye.

Without Edward to keep me sane, I basically gave up on life. I left my nurse training, curled up into a ball and sank into a deep depression. I only resurfaced once in a while to do things that were necessary like calling my parents to let them know I was still alive.

One evening I decided to visit my parents, it was dark but my parents didn't live to far away. While I walked I felt like someone was staring at me, boring holes into the back of my head.

Suddenly, there was someone behind with their arms locked around me. They tilted my head and sunk their teeth into my neck. Everything went black but I still remember the pain. The pain burned like fire coursing through my veins, changing me forever. When I woke up I was met by a pair of blood red eyes. Her name was Anabelle. She explained to me what had just happened and she told me that unlike most vampires who change humans she was giving me a choice on my lifestyle. Would I prefer to drink the blood of animals or that of humans? She listed the pros and cons of each. She herself drank human blood but she knew of some that drank animal blood.

I didn't want to be a monster so I chose to feed of animals. For many years I travelled with Anabelle but our different lifestyles eventually caused friction betwwen us so I left. While with Anabelle, I discovered I had two powers, reading minds and to see into the future. I can only see what will happen soon. The furthest I can see is three months.

I travelled as a nomad for years. I had travelled all over the world. I lived in Ireland, England, several places in America, Canada. I had even lived with the Volturi in Italy for a very short time. Aro kept trying to change my feeding preferences. The eeriness of death made me feel uncomfortable there.

Of course I thought of Edward every day and my life back in Chicago. I wondered what had happened to my parents, what had apparently happened to me. So I went back and discovered I was reported missing. They had searched for me but nothing was ever found ... obviously. Shortly after I went missing, both my parents caught the Spanish Influenza and died like Edward.

One day I had a vision of myself joining the travels of a tiny, pixie-like girl with short black hair and a tall, blonde guy. They were called Alice and Jasper. I knew from my vision I would be meeting them soon, within a few weeks. They shared my preference to feeding of animals.
