Well tonight was disappointing and so is this ball. I felt like I've wasted an hour of my sempiternal life watching passionless, colorless, audacious people standing around talking and indulging in alcohol.
If my venom didn't burn off the alcohol so easily, I'd be on my 11th drink, oh wait, I can't drink it I'm dead! That's just great, I'm beginning to get a bit vexed more than I am bored, might as well just take my food and leave..

A blonde haired man with green eyes has been staring at me since I've arrived, well if he's as thirsty as I am he'll follow me when I go outside for air. Perfect way to get my food and get out of this dreary gathering called a "ball".
As I make my way outside making sure I sway from side to side, slowly luring my prey into a trap. I turn around and as just as I expected, he was following me. Just as I'm almost out of the door I collide with someone. I was knocked on the floor. Really at this moment! I was almost out of the door, so close!

My apologies miss, let me help you up, the man says reaching his hand out to me trying to fix his mistake. I swatted him away , and turned around to see if my quarry had escaped , and to my misfortune he walked away! I stood up and growled in exasperation looking into his eyes.
I stopped when I noticed he was not human but he didn't really seem like me. He looked about 6'2 , he had collar length blonde hair, a well medium toned frame with bright yellow eyes. They were inhumanly bright and his skin was too pale for him to be among the living.

Who are you? I said after fully examining him, he was beautiful, I almost felt bad for swatting at him.

My name is Carlisle , he says with a small smile on his face. He seems more genuine than I thought he'd be, I guess I was too rude.

I'm Grace and I apologize for the hostility, you've just interrupted me hunting that's all , I say nicely

He chuckles and says , How long has it been since you were changed ?

Wow okay, I've been a vampire since 1820, I'm a nomad, its really hard for me to stay in one place, who knew an eternal life could feel so lonely. I say looking at him saddened by the reminder that I'm alone.

Well I have a wife and son and who says it would be so bad if another person joined the family, he says genuinely

I smiled at the thought of having a family again, but he cuts me out of my thoughts when he says

There's one condition though, we don't prey on humans , we prey on animals which is why my eyes are yellow, not red.

I frowned, the thought of giving up human blood was disappointing, maybe one day it won't be. I agree to stay with Carlisle and let him adopt me , but I only lived with him and his family for 3 months. I was still feeding off of humans and I knew I needed to gain self control before I fully committed myself to this coven so I left...

Grace is there anything we can say to make you stay, Esme says while holding Carlisle's hand

I'm afraid not , I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Being with a loving family again has truly been an experience. Thank you Carlisle for inviting me into this family I am eternally grateful.

It's been my pleasure Grace, and remember no matter where you are you'll always be apart of this family.

I telepathically tell Edward , Soon I'll be here to stay permanently, he smiles and waves to me.
