It’s a secret that has been kept securely for millions of years: the existence of vampires.

Bella finds herself torn between keeping the secret from her ever-wondering father, and coming clean on who she really is. Charlie’s not stupid; he is the Chief of Police after all. But how will she tell him, if given the chance? Will she be able to protect him from the Volturi if he does find out?

Bella has also been noticing slight differences in her shield, what could that mean? Does she have a new power that is just now forming? If so, what is it, and could it help protect for family, and her father?

What if Bella hadn't moved her junior year with her father.  Instead she moved with her mother to Florida.  Upon visting her father before leaving for college she encounters two members of the Cullen Family.  Alice's vision tells her that Bella would change their lives forever. 

Edward's first encounter with Bella is 30,000 feet in the air on the way to Darthmouth.  With no means of escape will he be able to resist the temptation of her blood?  Or will he bring the whole plane down for a taste?

  ~Edward's POV: Chapter 2

I closed my eyes to listen to the tones of voices around me. I heard at least one hundred passengers. It would be a massacre. Could I really justify destroying all the lives of everyone on this plane just to taste her blood?

[AU. E/B.]  What if Bella had been a vampire ages ago? What if Edward had met Bella as a vampire? What would happen when they finally found each other after being lonely for so long? Who would gravitate to who? Who would chase and be chased?

Preview of Prologue:

They say, it is dangerous to walk by yourself at night. It is absolutely true. But there was a time when I was young and I was foolish, and I disregarded what my mother had always told me and I walked out of our quaint townhouse to the park a block away to get out of the house.

I should have been all right – we lived in a good area and my father was a respectable constable – except then I did not know what I do now. There are things in the night that are unnatural and impossible to wrap the mind around and I just happened to attract one of them.

Bella Swan was planning her latest heist in the art world. A sixty million dollar Picasso hung on the wall of one of the richest men in the world... he is the only person standing between her and a vast fortune.

Along with her team of artisans, Bella has six weeks to finalise details of the operation, and familiarise herself with the movements of the infamous Edward Masen.

Nominated story at The Indie Awards 

A long and tiresome journey and a wrongly booked ticket later, Bella Swan finds herself sitting next to renowned actor Edward Cullen and learns that whether flying coach or first class, karma gets her way.

Exerpt:

“Well… that’s embarrassing.” I looked up in the direction of the male voice that was responsible for the comment and nearly died. Nearly. Instead, I shrieked and flung my glass of champagne right in the lap of the owner. I was clearly hallucinating, because the man sitting next to me could not possibly be… I closed my eyes and opened them again. But he was still there a slightly uncomfortable look on his beautiful face as he retrieved my glass from his lap and inspected the damage to his trousers.

“This is a new reaction,” he mumbled all the while I gaped at him and glanced at the magazine checking whether he had jumped out of it. But Edward Cullen was still gazing at me from the page, his eyes hypnotising and in addition the exact - slightly displeased - replica (with perhaps a bit more facial hair, and clothes) was undeniably sitting in the chair next to me.

“I’m so sorry!” I finally managed to croak out when I remembered how to speak. Before I could thoroughly think it through I grabbed a napkin from my backpack and dove to dab his pants. He was not the only one who jumped up as my hand came into contact with his crotch.

“I got it,” he said louder than I had heard him speak so far. For a moment he cast me an exasperated look and I almost felt the need to ensure him I was not trying to feel him up. He held up his hand as a stop sign and snatched the napkin from my hand, still hovering over him. I wasn’t sure whether he was mad or embarrassed. I was too busy trying to sink through my chair in shame.

As usual, Bella is late for work and as she crosses the street -without looking-, a cycling music teacher, better know as Edward Cullen, must do all he can to avoid her. But the collision that follows will change their lives for good. All human and AU.

Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly.  As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?

To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.

Show and Don't Tell.

"In a moment’s time, I’d be his, entirely. The one thing I’d wanted more than anything itself. The pain, the pleasure- it was worth it knowing I’d be able to claim to be his…at long last.

"The silence in the room was deafening. The intimacy of this moment made the world hold its breath in anticipation. Time ceased to exist; the only fathomable concepts were Edward and me."

For all of us who read Breaking Dawn, closed the back cover and said; "Yeah...not what I expected..."
