Chapter 1. ( ⚠️ TW MENTIONS OF DEATH ⚠️ )

(My name is Eleonora Niles but my friends call me Nora, I'm sixteen and I am a...Vampire)

It wasn't always like this cold, gloomy, sad...what am I kidding I live in forks it was always like this. Someone was always sad enough to ruin someone's else's day it's just how it worked, especially after my Waylon died.

It wasn't the same without him, he always made me feel safe, secure, now that he's gone, I've got no one. Waylon Forge, one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, to be murdered by who knows what. Well, I knew but the rest of the town didn't need to know.

It had been six weeks since he passed, mostly of me crying, the rest planning this funeral I was told I had to speak at.
*FLASHBACK*

"Okay we're leaving now come on Will" My mother said as she grabbed more suitcases and put them in the trunk of their car " I'm coming Mary slow down" my dad rushed to the front door stopping and turned around eyeing me and looking over at Waylon "Have fun with this stubborn one" He said with a smirk, looking back down to me.

"Goodbye you brat" He said in a harsh tone, quickly grabbing the suitcases he was wheeling out and threw them in the trunk of the car.

*POOF* And they were gone. Like that, out my life as if I was nothing but a figment of their imagination.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a horn beeping, it was time for the funeral. I was wearing a black dress that came down to my knees, it also had lace shoulders, for shoes I wore heels that covered my ankles with a buckle, my hands covered with lace gloves and my hair was tied up by a black bow. I grabbed my black purse and my script and walked outside.

I haven't seen anyone since Waylon died, I stayed locked up in my room, ignoring phone calls, people and life all together.

I closed the front door behind me seeing Charlie Swan in a black suit with his hair slicked back, he was standing near an orange truck which was Bella's. Speaking of Bella, she was sitting in the passenger seat looking at her phone.

Charlie turned around looking at me, he had tears in his eyes. "Eleonora" he said, I walked up to him and pulled him into a hug, at first he was surprised but afterwards he wrapped his arms around me as well.

I missed being hugged, it made me feel like i wasn't alone. Charlie pulled away placing his hands on my shoulders, i could see he was fighting back tears.

"It's gonna be okay Charlie" I said with a soft tone. "I should be the one comforting you not the other way around" He said chuckling, he lead me to the truck, when I got in I saw Bella in the passenger's seat still looking at her phone wearing a black long sleeve top and black tight jeans, "Hey Bella" I said, she turned facing me in the back seat, with a dead look on her face, 'I wonder what she's angry about?' I questioned but shook the thought out of my head when Charlie started driving.

It was silent the whole car trip and it was really awkward between the three of us which was weird because we were all so close, but I guess it was because of Waylon people liked me.

*FLASHBACK*

I was sitting in the lounge room flicking through television channels when Waylon walked in

"Hey Cupcake whatcha doin?" Cupcake was the nickname he gave me because cupcakes were my favourite food, "Finding something to do cause I'm bored" I replied, he walked over and took the remote out of my hand turning the TV off. He placed the remote on the coffee table taking both my hands in his, lifting me up from the couch." What are you doing?" I questioned, he smiled not saying anything while walking outside dragging me behind him.

It had started raining and he was taking me outside?

He started dancing in the rain' I was watching and laughing, he walked up to me and grabbed my hands and pulled me out from under the verandah, I started dancing with him, having the best time in ages. He made me so happy, he wanted me when no one else did, he was my everything!

*FLASHBACK OVER*

We finally arrived at the funeral spot, I wasn't really sure if I was ready to say goodbye but Waylon would have wanted me to be happy.

I got out of the car, there were so many people, and when I say that I mean the whole town. He knew everyone in Forks so I thought it was only right to invite them all. As I started walking people parted making a path for me. Everyone was either crying, sobbing or hiding their tears.

I continued walking down the path noticing the people I knew. My friends from school, Jessica, Angela, Erick, Mike then there were also the Cullens. Carlisle, Esmee, Edward, Rosalie, Emmet, Alice and Jasper.

I was close with the Cullens so as I walked past them they all smiled and I returned it. I looked over and saw Charlie and Bella. I smiled sadly, Charlie smiled back. He was crying, but Bella gave me a death stare 'What the hell is her problem'.

I finally got to the front of the crowd and took a deep breath, standing behind the pedestal, I felt tears starting to fall down my cheeks and I look down at my speech I had brought with me. I started talking into the microphone attached to the pedestal. "Thank you all for coming today" choking on my tears, I looked over and saw the Cullens giving me comforting smiles.

"Three weeks and four days ago I lost my best friend" I continued. More tears came the more I spoke "His name was Waylon Forge" I heard sobs from the crowd and continued trying to be strong " I could ask anyone in this town about Waylon because he knew everyone" I chuckled lightly.

"He used to tell me he was friends with everyone because of his charms and looks" the crowd chuckled slightly "But we all knew it was because he had a big and welcoming heart" "When I was eleven my biological parents left me with nothing" My crying started getting heavier "But Waylon took me in as his own when nobody else would, he always showed me that no matter who you are or what you are there will always be someone with welcoming arms, just waiting for you to accept them, for me it was Waylon" I couldn't help it, I stepped back putting my hand over my mouth collapsing, when Charlie ran over to me and hugged me, I could tell he was crying too.

He picked me up wrapping my arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist, him carrying me off the stage. Someone took over starting their own speech.

Charlie started walking over to the Cullens. He knew that I was close with them, so when he walked over to them, Edward stood forward and opened his arms, Charlie carefully gave me to Edward. I instantly knew it was Edward. So I wrapped my hands around his neck while my legs went around his waist, because Edward was taller then Charlie I looked really small clinging on to the cold vampire.

I hid my face into the crease of Edwards neck and started calming down, I knew it was Jasper controlling my emotions and I mentally thanked him for it.

If your wondering yes...I am a vampire, and yes the Cullens turned me, well Edward did. That's why I was closer to Edward then the rest of the Cullens.

He turned me after I tried to commit, Waylon died and I didn't know what to do, I thought it would be better than to live. That is till Edward changed me, the first few days I didn't talk to him, he kept me alive even though I didn't want to be. He also didn't give me a choice and now I have to live with the fact that I'll never see Waylon again. In my head I was talking to him at night, telling him what I was, in my head he supported me and we where happy. Until I woke up.

Technically I was sixteen but my mental state was seventeen, so I was legally able to do many things, I was abandoned by my parents at the age eleven and lived with Waylon and I continue to live my life without my body growing older. Weird right?.

Also...My gift is...I don't sparkle in sunlight...
