Swan hybrids.

Meeting my mate.

Pic of Taylor, as I imagine him...

Taylor's pov. (yay)

I have been wandering this earth for a really really long time, since about 1623 there and about, and sometimes I just wish that someone would be strong enough to take me out. The Volturi was to afraid to, even with the twins in their clutches. They were even to afraid of me to use their powers on me. I'm not that bad, I just take care of what I love.
I had been fighting in the English civil war in the first round  (1642–46) (The war ended with the Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651.) I was 19 when I joined (Not freely) and got away as I was changed in 1645, at 22 years old.
------->>>>
I traveled into the woods and lived there for Years and years until I dared to come out. Sadly I shouldn't have done that, I didn't know of my powers so I had to go with my captures. And dragged into another war... The south.... Not fun I should tell you, but I quickly learned a few things about myself and how to use it. I was there for 4 years, and managed to clean everything up, I even discovered that my sire was there and had been waiting for me to come out of hiding, even forced me to live of of humans... Yuck.... I quickly went back to feeding on animals. Somehow human blood smelled awful to me. It smelt rotten and unclean.

Its just sad to know that the south I cleared started up again and just ended when I went back there 2 years ago. I (sole little old me) handled it all alone. No one dared to cross me. Some even jumped into the fire by themselves now that's hardcore.... But I let many people go, since they would be able to handle themselves and had pure hearts. But a lot had to go....
Now I just hope it stays gone down there..... To many people die because of those wars...

Life has been hard...
But it has been harder for me these last almost 19 years, I believe has gone. I have felt like I needed to go somewhere for a while now, but have shaken it off for a long time now. It got a lot worse about 1½ years ago, just about.
I got this huge pain in my chest and it lasted for about 7 months give or take. I was never good with time. But as of late I have felt an even greater need to go somewhere, so I have been following this pull inside me these last 4 months, it started before then, but I had some trouble I knew I needed to take care of first, I had ran across a red headed bit*h and knew I need to end her. She was gifted so it took a while before I got her down. Stupid cow..... I had to plan to do something else and then in the last second something else to be able to get her. Damn. But I got her and she was so stupid as to thank me just before her head burned. She was weird.
Anyway, I was following this pull, till I could feel I was quite close to a huge house.
I could hear several heartbeats and one that sounded so beautiful that I fell to my knees. I felt like it was calling me home. I had never felt like this before and I almost started to cry. This must be where my mate was. But I didn't understand, was my mate a human?? No their heartbeats were to fast. What on earth were they???

Bella's pov.

Today as I woke up, I knew today was the day.
Today I would meet my mate.

My heart fluttered at the thought. I can't believe this is it.
I jumped out of bed, it was just about 5am and jumped happily into the shower. Washing and shaving everywhere. I wanted to smell good and be clean when I met him.
I fumbled around after some clothes and took some blue and black jeans on with a red tunic and a white vest on. Braided my long hair and went down to get something to eat. 
Dad was sitting at the dining room table writing away, looked up at me as I came in and did a double take.

"Wow Bells. Why so pretty today?" He grinned at me...

"Well you see daddy dearest, you daughter had this knowing feeling when she woke up, to be told that today she would meet her mate, so she got ready for when he wants to show up. She also knows that your dear Cara will be here in two months and 4 days, just the time is missing" I grinned back, to see him trying not to jump up and down in joy. I knew he wanted to meet her soon and hold her and take care of her, but in a twist of fate, I would meet my man first...

To hours later the kids came down, ate and then started to play in the living room. I loved to watch them play. And I sat there for a few hours when I felt that he was here. Just a little way out in the woods. I jumped up, winked to my dad and grabbed my coat, even though I didn't get cold anymore I still like to huddle up in warmth.

I walked half way to him and sensed that he was a bit scared of what I was, since he knew I wasn't human... So I sat down in the snow, and slowly started talking in a soothing voice.

"Hi Taylor. I know you don't know me and is even more frightened that I know your name, but please don't be afraid of me... I'm Isabella BTW, but I go by Bella. I live here with my father. There is a lot to our story but we would be happy to explain it all if you want to know." I said. I heard him walking slowly towards me, sniffing the air. I knew that he liked my smell and was still confused as to what I am. But I wanted him to ask me. I wanted to hear his voice...

"Hello Beautiful" And what beautiful voice it was. I turned towards him and looked him in the eyes. He gasped and fell to his knees. At first I was afraid but then I thought that if he could feel your soul, and he would be able to see the purity of mine. He must be shocked or something.

"Hi" I whispered out in a rasp. God he's gorgeous.

He slowly moved towards me, still on his knees, and whispered. "It can't be, such a purity can't be meant for me" I was glad that I had gotten all the enchanced abilities or I wouldn't have heard him. 
I took his hand in mine and kissed it.

"I'm glad you came, I've been waiting for you" I said as soothing as I could. The poor dear was afraid I would disappear...

"You were expecting me?" He said shocked.

"Yes, I've been waiting a while my mate, and I know you want to know about me, so lets sit comfortably and I will tell you everything" I smiled at him. Gosh he was cute.
He sat down and leaned up against a tree, and being fast he took me onto his lap before I could blink. I grinned at him and pecked his cheek, before beginning on our tale of our weird life.

It took me hours, but I managed to get it all out to him, and he was expressing himself trough out the whole thing. When I talked about the Cullen's he was livid that someone could treat others like that. He knew some vampires loved the fact that they could play with humans but he simply couldn't understand the allure to do so. He knew how it felt to be used and didn't want anyone else to feel that...
But when I told him of my relationship with my father, he looked wistful and I knew that he wished he had a dad to cling to when he felt like the kid he once was. And I also knew that as soon as dad caught on to that, he would be next to him, and be there for him, like he truly was his father. It would be just what he needed. Yes my mate was a tough son of a bitch and could kill anyone, but he still had a heart, and had lost his human life to soon and in a horrific way.
When I told him of my children and my ability to get more on my own, he practically glowed and his smile was huge. I snuggled into him at the news that he was happy about that.

5 hours after meeting my mate I took his hand and we walked home.

I heard giggling and a hard but loving laugh of my family and Taylor froze for a second. I opened the door and saw dad stand up.
He came over and stood in front of my mate and looked him in the eyes. I felt him shudder and squeezed his hand.

"Hello son. Welcome to the family. We've been waiting for you" He said as he went to hug him. Taylor froze again for a second and then broke down. Dad looked shocked but with understanding in his eyes and sat down on the floor with my mate.
I kissed his head and smiled to my dad, then proceeded to go over to the kids. While hoping that they would get to talk a bit.

Wheeww what a day. I thought as I flopped down on the couch. The kids playing on the floor, laughing. Life couldn't be better. I though with a sweet sigh.....
