1. My Arrival
My name is Jasmine Rivera-Cullen and I am 17 years old. I live in
the small town of Forks, Washington, and I live with my foster parents, the
Cullens. My enterance into the world of the Cullens is slightly complicated.
I was born in 1958, in Spain. I lived with my two alcholic parents,
Maria and Jose. Both Maria and Jose had met at a bar, and I was born
unexpectedly. I was told by everyone that I was very beautiful, as Maria was
one of the most gorgeous women in town. Long black hair, sapphire-blue
eyes, and pale skin were her main features and soon became mine as well.
Soon, Maria and Jose got into a fight and got divorced. By that time I
was 15 years old and was beginning to realize I had no place in the world, as
I was not wanted. Jose was the one who (slightly) cared about me and it was
decided that I was going to live with him, as Maria had no intention of
having me living with her.
When I turned 16, Jose died of cancer. I tried to contact Maria, but
many people told me she had fled the country with some unknown French
man.
All I could do to survive was either get married or become a servant
girl. I chose the servant girl option, since that was best for me at this point.
I advertised around town and got a job at the Ross family's estate,
caring for their children. That was a mistake, because soon I realized that the
Ross family was very, very cruel. They only seemed to care about
themselves, not giving their servants enough to eat.
[Still] At 16, I decided that my only last choice was to kill myself. I
gathered enough money from the Rosses to quit, and decided to live on my
own. On the night I turned 17, I made my decision: I was going to suicide
tonight.
On the way to my destinaton (an enormous cliff), I fainted in the
middle of the road. A car ran over me, and I was left to die.
Thankfully, Dr. Cullen was around, and took me to the hospital. He
then turned me into a vampire.
The change from human to vampire was so intense I could only
scream and cry of the pain. I felt as if someone had released fire into my
body, making it burn continously.
In fact, the pain was so searing, I can't even describe it.
When I woke up two days later, I was a whole new person. Carlisle
explained to me what had happened (I didn't remember anything ever since I
fainted) and he told me all I needed to know about being a "vegetarian"
vampire.
Much to my surprise, I was still the same person, just way paler, and
with bright topaz-golden eyes. I was also immortal, and I was going to be 17
forever (unless someone killed me). I even had a special power: I could
sense what people wanted. I had always wanted to please people in my
mortal life, and I got what I wanted in my new one.
After Carlisle decided I was normal enough to leave the
hospital, he drove me to the big home he and his family lived in.
I met Edward, Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Esme.
Rosalie and I soon became best friends, with Alice as my close
second. Life with the Cullens was fascinating and I began to feel loved.
