One of the key events that creates the epic nature of the Edward/Bella love story is the moment that Bella’s scent first hits Edward, and Edward somehow resists.

But what if Edward’s self control had kicked in just a moment too late? What if his proximity to Bella once his conscience reawakened was just too much, and he couldn’t restrain himself. What if he bit her, and Bella had a new life forced on her, before she had any desire to live for an eternity?

Before she had experienced Forks High School, made friends, and re-connected with Jacob. Before she knew what Edward was. And most importantly, before they fell in love.

What would Twilight look like then?

This is the story of the seemingly insignificant moment that changed everything…

There's only one person on this earth that Edward Cullen hates, and that's his boss...Bella Swan. She's cold. She's ruthless and incapable of human emotion, and to Edward's greatest frustration, the hottest woman walking the face of the planet.  Will a proposition made change the course of their lives forever, or will all terms and conditions apply?

Lemons and language

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb... literally. Everybody has what is known as a 'spirit animal'. Everybody knows what your spirit animal is - it's perfectly normal in this world. Edward and Bella meet, and are thrown into an odd sort of romance.

Out-takes and alternate POVs from Fox Fire.

To whom it may concern:

As I understand it, the blossoming of conscience intellect is such that at any given time, a scenario can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. As you may—or may not—be aware, Bella had a story to tell.

She told it.

It is at this point that the aforementioned scenario comes into play. In the spring term of 2008, I met Bella swan for the first time. In 2012, three years after her change, a horrific incident occurred. This event was so traumatic, so life-altering, that it broke my sweet angel.

Had it not been for the unparalleled cognitive prowess of our kind I might not have been able to save her. When she awoke, the reality of our past together had been altered so that she forgot the events of the most bloody vampire war ever recorded in the annals of Volterra.

Now, three centuries later, I think I am ready to explain what really happened. Please be aware: this is not the story Bella told. It is fraught with violence, sex, torture, death but most of all—it explains in excruciating detail the story of how my angel pulled me back from the bowels of hell and the brink of insanity.

Here it is.

One handful.

Our story.

—Edward Anthony Cullen

After fighting for fifty-five years, Edward returned to the one place he could call home. Jaded and angry, he festered in his own damnation, hating Carlisle for his forgiveness and mercy. One day – in August of 2008 – Edward met a soul that was, quite possibly, more broken than he was. In that second, Edward resolved to save this human…no matter the cost. Fighting his bloodlust, struggling to regain his humanity and attempting control a new gift, Edward attempted to forge a new relationship with a human who had awakened the humanity which had lain dormant within him.

But not all is well in Forks. A new war is brewing in the vampire world. Unexpectedly, just as his relationship with Bella came to fruition, Edward was thrown back into the world of violence, corruption and greed in the worst way possible.  With the help of one lone human, The Cullen alliance must face and defeat the most powerful force that the vampire world had ever seen. Now, amongst the war and death that is ravishing the world around him, Edward and Bella must make a choice.

Salvation or Damnation?

*This story will, eventually, earn the rating that I have assigned to it. For the first 100,000 or so words the rating will hover between PG-13 and R. However, before you get too far into my fanfiction, please read all the warnings to decide if this story is for you.*

- Violence (blood and gore)

- Torture (both mental and physical)

- Self-Harm

- Abuse (both mental and physical)

- Rape

- Angst

- Language

- Lemons (Het)

- Character Death

- OOC Characterization

*I realize that this list is pretty extensive. Most of the material listed here is integral to the plot I have created so on the chapters rated HARD NC-17 I will post warnings where the areas of graphic material occur and them put a summary at the bottom of the story featuring what happened within so that readers do not feel obligated to read some of the more…graphic…material*

Set after their breakup in New Moon. Assumes Edward and Bella haven't seen each other since:

"I had succeeded in staying away from her for five miserable, grueling years, but my resolve was broken now. Just one glance and in an instant I knew it was her. There was no going back, my fortitude was utterly shattered."

As a little girl, Bella was visited by a strange and beautiful man who promised someday to find her again and take her away.  Now a young mother to her own little girl, the memory has been shuffled to that part of her brain to which all childhood fantasies and imaginary friends are fated.  The arrival of a new family outside of town sends Bella's unstable life reeling again, and brings back to the surface old desires, old hopes, old fears, and old promises.

Vampward, I think Bella's a bit OOC and she has a child, so if you don't like babies, you should skip this story.  Twilight AU.  R for now, may eventually veer NC-17.
