~ Chapter 1 ~

Chicago, 1928

Edward walked down the dark alley, his shadow melting into the darkness of his soul. The sound of a rat in the dumpster was suddenly overshadowed by the sound of footsteps. Edward stopped and listened to the unguarded thoughts of his stalker.

He read sex, blood, murder, and more sex. Although the thoughts were sick enough to make any normal person gag, it had little effect on him. Edward turned around slowly, seduction in his every move. His stalker moved up to him and just as he was about to put his hands on him, Edward seized his head and gorged into the neck. Within seconds the fighting stopped in the human. A few more seconds and the body began to go limp. When Edward finally let the man go, he fell into a heap on the ground. Dead.

Edward licked at the blood at the corner of his lips as his newly red eyes fell onto a silent figure.

"What have you done Edward?" Carlisle asked, horror filled with what he had witnessed.

"Just me moving on, Carlisle." The young vampire slurred as the fresh blood gave him a power boost he had never felt before. Is this how a drug addict feel?

"Why?" the sadness filled Carlisle and his mental barrier grew thin, letting Edward read every emotion. All the guilt, all the love, all the memories Carlisle had of him. Unfortunately, the memories were tainted by his new found love with Esme.

"You know why." Edward hissed at his father. "Ten years. We shared ten years of intimacy. You were my everything. Ten years together but as soon as the harlot enters, I'm history."

"Don't call her that." The elder vampire hissed at his firstborn.

Edward showed his own teeth at his sire. "You not only abandoned me, but you won't even acknowledge what we had. For ten years, we shared everything. Now you won't even look at me. I've become your dirty secret. She doesn't even know what we shared."

"She's still healing from her life as a human. She doesn't need…"

"No!" Edward yelled. "You are just a scared, coward whose afraid of consequences. And I happen to be a consequence of your past."

"That's not it, Edward. Please. You have to believe me." Carlisle begged. He saw his whole life falling apart before his eyes.

Edward shock his head as his red eyes glowed in the dark. "I will never forgive you, Carlisle."

All the elder vampire could do was take one step forward before his beloved child was gone. He couldn't scent or feel him anywhere. Carlisle felt his heart die as he knew he had lost his Edward. The harsh truth was that he couldn't even cry over it.
