It was just like any other day, except for this time it was raining. The water was hitting the glass dome hard, making patting noses that seemed to calm Edward. As he stared up at the ceiling, clinging onto one of the tall tree branches, he couldn't help but wish to be able to play in the rain right now. Before he would cringe and run inside his den to get out of the water that fell from the dark clouds above. But now that it's been a month since he smelled fresh air or felt the clean water hit his skin; he missed it more than ever.

Lost in thought, Edward felt a warm, sorrow filled emotion as he thought about when he use to play with his siblings. How they would run around and slip in the mud. The cheerful face of his mother as she watched her delightful children enjoy Mother Nature brought a smile to his stone hard face. His little sister Alice had been afraid of the loud thunder, retreating into the safety of her mother's arms whenever a loud crack would rumble the earth.

Edward laughed quietly to himself at remembering the angry face of his father when Emmett and he would purposely collide with each other to make the thunder sound to scare his poor little baby girl. He could never forget the punishment of having the duty of cleaning the whole den for a whole year. Emmett got off better since he was younger than Edward, still, Emmett helped him every once and a while.

His eyes began to water, he loved his family very much and he hoped his father and brother were searching for him. He closed his eyes, hoping to take his mind off his family.

He was running through his forest, trying to reach something.

He was running his fastest.

He was almost there.


Suddenly Edward was tackled to the ground, a beautiful laugh followed after as he tried to regain his footing. He looked to his side to see the female he had been dreaming about attached to his waist. He couldn't help but let out a blissful laugh as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I win," she whispered.


But before he could respond she began to fade away.

He just let it past.

The sound of a ringing bell told Edward Jackie was calling him back to his den. He hopped down from the trees and with his fast vampire speed, appeared in front of Jackie, causing her to jump as she closed the door.

He sat on the bed, looking apologetic for scaring her.

Even though she knew he couldn't understand her, she stilled talked to him. "You scared me," She quaked, moving over to him. "You're going to have to stay here for a while. You have a new roommate." She started stroking his hair. "She's a beauty, I'm sure you will get along quiet well." She said happily. Edward started playing with Jackie's bracelet and started a low purr. He loved it when someone played with his hair. His mother use to do it to make sure he would go to bed in the morning.

A few moments later, the intercom near the door buzzed and Dr. Austin Marks voice began to crackle. "He can come out now; the other vampire is in the habitat. Hopefully they will get along, maybe even mate," he said to Jackie.

She smiled brightly, walking over towards the den's entrance. "I know their children will be so cute!" She hit the code and the door opened.

They were immediately greeted with a screech and a fierce growl. Edward new that screech was from a female vampire that was in range. He has heard Rosalie screech all the time whenever she didn't get her way.

Going into a low crouch, Edward springs into the habitat running to where the sound was coming from. He soon finds himself by the doors that led to the lab. There, he saw the female throwing boulders and trees as hard as she can against the metal bolt. "LET ME OUT YOU WORTLESS HUMANS!"she screamed, her actions turned frantic as not a single dent had be made. To them, her screams of panic only sounded like a vicious growl, to Edward it was a reminder of how he felt when he was first dropped off here.

When Edward saw the female reach for another tree, he let out a calm chirp, catching her attention. She then turned around and spotted Edward. He gasped; it was the same girl from his dreams! Everything about her was the same. The only difference was her eyes. Not the soft liquid gold like his, but dark cold black.

She was thirsty and angry.

Her clothing consists of a simple blue dress that was very loose and it only went to her knees. Much like his but fit more for a female.

They stared at each other for what seems like forever, gazing into each other's eyes. Not a single one of them moved.

She's my mate! My mate! I found her! Edward shouted in his mind. He had the most accelerating feeling wash over his body, and he felt like he was on cloud nine.

He suddenly felt very shy, something he has never been known to feel. His father always told him that when he had first met his mother, it took him a whole hour to build up the courage to confront her. But once the first words had been said, he was sold, and his father's heart belonged to his mothers.

But before he could find the right words to greet his future mate, the beautiful female had took off, running into the man made forest.

"Hey wait!" Edward yelled after her, right on her trail. He found her in one of the trees behind the little stream. She had climbed to the top and was banging on the glass the rain was still slapping against. His heart stopped at the thought of his mate being so high in the tree, a normal reaction of protectiveness he will start to experience now that he has chosen his new companion. "Please come down, I won't hurt you."

The female stopped her tapping, looking down at him with tear-full eyes. "Why am I here? Who are you?" She sniffed, slowly climbing down from the tree. Once she made it to the bottom, Edward had a sudden erg to hug her. But he knew that if he made an advance towards the scared female, she would surely run again. He could see the sorrow in her eyes, making him feel her emotions as well. He wanted to wrap his arms around her, shield her from the world and make it all better. He also wanted to kill anyone who had hurt her, rip their heart out and stuff it down their throats. Make them feel the pain his mate was feeling. "Hello? Are you in there?" He looked back at the female and smile. He was also happy to actually talk to someone.

"Uh, yes...um...hi." He said quickly, feeling a blush coming on. "My name is Edward Cullen from Washington and you're in a place called the habitat." He watched as the female leaned closer towards him, her eyes holding confusion as she tries to understand the new word.

"Please, tell me. What is the habitat? I have never heard of this place before. Are we still in America?" She asked, her eyebrows knitted together as she cocks her head to the side. "Oh and I'm Isabella Swan from Arizona, but please call me Bella."

Bella, that's perfect! He had always wanted to name the female in his dreams, but could never find the right name to give the dark haired beauty.

"Well Bella, I have no idea where we are. The only thing I know is that we, right now, are in the habitat. How do I know that? Well that sign right there says habitat." He pointed to the sign right above the lab's door. She looked towards it and sighed, obviously having no idea of what it said. But she would ask him later how he could understand human writing.

"How long have you been here?" She questioned, picking off a reddish brown leaf that had attached itself to a strand of her hair. He watched her twirl it around than let it fall to the ground.

"Well consider the leaves have already turned red and have fallen from the trees. And I was taken thee last week of summer. I would say about five weeks." Just then lightning flashed and thunder cracked. Bella whimpered and got a little closer to Edward. Witch made Edward very happy, he wanted to be closer to her.

He watched her squeak when the thunder cracked again, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright? Would you like to do back to my den? It's much quieter there." He held out his hand for her, not sure if it was a good idea or not. Usually when a male invited a female to his den it was to get to know each other, than mate. But he didn't want to make her uncomfortable, but she seemed really scared of the storm.

Bella looked at his hand for a second before she slowly placed her hand in his. This was the first time a male had ever asked her to his den and had no idea how to react.

Am I supposed to say yes? Does he want to mate with me? What am I going to do? She questions herself, wondering if she was really ready to mate. She had just turned her final age, 26 to be exact. And that was pretty young. She had just been taken away from her family by stupid humans! She came to a decision. She was going to wait till she got out of this place, before she fully mates. She was pretty sure that this male in front of her could be a very worthy male if she were to settle down.

She had notice the way he was looking at her, the same way a male would only look at their mate. She would know because that's how Charlie would look at Renee. Her mother and father had met in their middle stage of their aging. Around 18 or something, and had mated early. Bella popped up when they were only 22.

To humans it was equivalent to a teen pregnancy, and was very unusual. But they had raised her very well and taught her to never rush mating. And that was she was going to do.

Jumping back into reality, Bella found herself nodding. Slipping her hand through his as another rack of thunder rumbled through the sky.
