So here it is!!! Hope you enjoy!!! Read and review!!!

Chapter 1: a new beginning with love

The girl was small, smaller than me by at least a foot. Her fair golden hair tumbled down her back as she leaned back on her hands. Her head lolled back exposing her smooth creamy throat to me.

I licked my lips silently. She was beautiful, more beautiful than anything I had ever seen in my life…or what my friend called…our eternity.

My steps were silent around the small meadow that was filled with pretty wildflowers and tall grass.

The sun was shining brilliantly. I looked over at the girl again. There seemed to be a sparkle around her and I smiled.

She would be delicious.

I circled the field once more in the safety of the trees and readied myself for the attack. I would have to time this just right…I knew I could over power her easily.

I took a small breath of eagerness and…pounced!

A scream…and then…

"Okay, okay…you win." I huffed from my spot on my stomach.

Gwen shook her head sadly letting her curls bounce around her shoulders she was sitting on my back, pinning me down. "Mike, darling. You never learn, you need to practice with Emmett or something. I was trained in battle. Remember?"

I propped my head up on my hand. "Yeah, well, I should be able to beat you once! That's all I'm asking for."

I looked up at the heavens in mock beseechment feeling satisfied as Gwen giggled and moved to sit next to me. I sat up and we sat cross legged from each other.

"I should! I'm a fierce beast." I bared my teeth and growled from deep in my chest the way that I had gotten used to in the past few months.

Gwen ruined the façade and pecked me on the nose and I pouted making her laugh out loud. "That's it! I'm gone!" I threw up my hands in frustration and started to stalk off.

"No! No Mike! I was just kidding! Please come sit with me!" she pleaded, but she was laughing so hard that I really couldn't take her seriously.

At the forest I changed my mind and I turned back, ran at her and picked her up bridal; style, catching her by surprise and twirling her around in circles. Gwen wrapped her arms around my neck and screamed in delight.

God, I loved this girl! I didn't even think it was possible to love someone with their whole being like I loved Gwen. My mind body and soul centered around her like the planets centered around the sun. She was my sun, my air, everything I needed to survive. Though technically I didn't need those things now that I was a vampire.

Or a bloodsucker as the wolves had put it. And by wolves I mean the werewolves. Ask me if I was surprised when I found out about werewolves as well as vampires. That was a rhetorical question by the way.

Well, the Bella/Edward/Jacob situation got a whole lot more complicated but that was about it. When Carlisle went to talk to the wolves after my change he fibbed a little so that it was more like the vampire that attacked me, Jane I found out later, bit me instead of Gwen.

I didn't get the big deal if we told the truth, I mean; I would be dead if Gwen hadn't bitten me. But I was informed, rudely; by Rosalie that if Carlisle hadn't lied we would have had to fight the wolves because biting a human was a no-no, no matter what.

Idiotic thinking if you ask me.

I looked at Gwen who was still laughing with her eyes closed while hugging my neck. I stopped spinning and looked down at my angel whose creamy pale skin was sparkling in the sun.

I loved her. It terrified me to think that I could have been taken away from her without really knowing the gravity of the situation at all. Now that I knew what really could have happened I never left Gwen's side and she never left mine.

I was happy as a vampire. I could protect the girl that I loved like I couldn't before when I was human. I could hold her, kiss her, and feel her more than I ever could too. But it wasn't only physical. Since my change we had connected on an even deeper level than any human coupe could.

Sharing our lives and ideas and memories were so much more….more…I couldn't even describe it, but it was wonderful.

Gwen opened her golden eyes and looked into my light red ones. I almost had a golden color like the rest of Cullens but it would take a couple more weeks. I didn't mind I thought I looked kind of cool.

"Hey," she giggled smiling up at me.

I grinned. "Hey Gorgeous."

I sat cross legged on the ground and settled her in my lap. I could have held her all day in that position but it was more instinct to want to act natural, you know, blend into my surroundings.

I cradled her to my body and rested my chin on top of her head. It was amazing how different she felt to me now.

Before it was like she was a beautiful statue that moved. Hard and cold, that was pretty much the first tip off, but no one ever said I was the sharpest tool in the shed.

But now it was completely different. Her skin was warm and soft to me. And not only that but when I touched her my nerve endings went crazy and it was kind of hard controlling those instincts.

Usually I gave in.

Hey, I was a guy. I had trouble controlling those feelings when I was human.

Gwen sighed into my chest, but it was a happy sigh. "I think we should go back to the house soon. I promised Alice she could do my hair."

I rolled my eyes and kissed the top of her head. "She treats you like a Barbie doll."

Gwen shifted so she could look up at me. "Every one keeps saying that but when I asked them what a Barbie doll is they just laugh and walk away." She pouted cutely.

Sometimes I forgot that Gwen hadn't really been a normal girl in my generation and had lived a lot longer than me. Not only that but she had also been living in a castle that was stuck in the 1800s for the past two hundred years.

Smiling I tucked her head back under my chin and explained to her what a Barbie doll was. I'm sure she had gotten an inkling but the idea in her head needed some fine tuning. Especially when she asked me if a Barbie doll was an actual person.

Anyway she got the idea. I liked showing her new things. Like I said before I'm not smart when it comes to most things but the things she didn't know about I usually was an expert in.

Take for example comic books. I had spent three whole days and nights with her explaining all I knew about the justice league. She loved it! Her favorite character was Batman surprisingly.

When I asked her about it she told me that it was because he wasn't born with powers or they weren't given to him by someone else but he made his own power by just using his skills and he still remained human.

See! These are the things I'm talking about! I learn so much when I'm with her.

My thinking has never been that deep. I just liked Batman because of his really cool utility belt.

But it made me look at things differently and not only because of my increased vision which was awesome, but less superficial than before.

Gwen talked about things in a way that was…inspiring to me.

Everything she said sounded beautiful or intelligent that really showed the wisdom she held.

"We should get some life sized Barbie's for Rosalie and Alice. Then they might leave me alone."

I laughed out loud. "I think maybe that could work. We'll look online tomorrow."

And sometimes she could show me that she really was stuck as a seventeen year old for the rest of eternity. I didn't mind. She made my life interesting and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the universe.

"Lets go home." I said and stood up setting her on her feet.

Gwen smiled and started to walk away. I smiled and pulled her back to me kissing her deeply and running my hands through her hair loving the feeling of its soft texture between my fingers.

After a few minutes I pulled away. I loved that I didn't have to breathe anymore.

"I love you Gwen." It wasn't nearly as powerful as what I felt for her but it would have to do until someone invented the right words to describe my feelings for this girl.

"I love you as well Mike. With all my heart." she smiled up at me.

I kissed her deeply once again and then turned back to the forest around us.

"Okay, now lets go home." I grinned at her.

She giggled. "Last one home is a smelly werewolf!"

Gwen took off. I watched her for a moment and felt pure joy at just being near her and then started running as fast as I could.

I loved her with everything I had but I was not going to forfeit the race.
