Chapter 1: Setting the scene

Although I am young in others eyes, I have the looks of a 18 year old. In actual fact, I am no longer 18. I am Isabella Cullen and I am married to Edward Cullen. Edward has brothers called Jasper Hale and Emmett Cullen. He has two sisters called Rosalie Hale and Alice Cullen. They have parents who are called Esme and Carlisle Cullen. We are not an ordinary family; we are vampires. We don't drink human blood. We think of ourselves as vegetarian vampires as we only drink animal blood.
