about EDWARD CULLEN

Edward was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 20th, 1901. He had green eyes like his mother. In 1918, when he was 17 years old, he conctracted the Spanish influenza. His father had already died and it was his mother's last wish that Carlise do everything he could to save Edward. Despite Carlisle's aversion the wish, he turned Edward into a vampire in wishes of a companion. Edward moved around with Carlisle and since that time, Edward has passed as Carlisle's adopted son or as the younger brother of his wife, Esme.Once Esme joined the family, Edward went into a bout of rebellion and split paths with Calisle. Edward used his gift of mind-reading to single out evil people and drink their blood. A couple years later, he decided that it was no longer working out and he returned to Esme and Carlisle and they welcomed him back with open arms.Then, in around 1936, Edward and his family moved to Forks, where they encountered the Quileutes. A treaty was then arranged stating that the Quileute wolves would not reveal the Cullens' secret so long as they didn't bite any humans and that they stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places. in 2003, the Cullens moved back to Forks where Edward was once again pretending to be Carlisle and Esme's adopted son.Two years later, when Bella moved to Forks, Edward became intrigued, as he could not read her thoughts and her blood 'sang' to him. When Bella was nearly attacked by human muggers in Port Angeles, Edward came to her rescue and they were together from that point on. Edward took Bella to see his family play baseball and three other vampires, James, Victoria, and Laurent chanced upon them setting in motion the attacks that put Bella in danger. James was a tracker and he followed Bella all the way to Pheonix. James bit Bella and Edward was forced to drink her blood to stop the venom from spreading through her system.After that, Edward went back to Forks with Bella and he stayed with her until her 18th birthday, where after an accident, he decided that it would be best to leave Bella for her own safety. After spending months failing at tracking the other two vampires, Laurent and Victoria, from the baseball game, he heard that Bella jumped off a cliff and died, so he went to Italy to provoke the Volturri, an ancient and powerful vampire family. Bella and his 'sister' Alice went to save him from exposing the vampire secret, which would've lead him to his goal which was for the Volturri to kill him. They were provided with two choices that Edward was greatly displeased with- kill Bella or turn her into a vampire.The return to Forks meant that they were supposed to return to a normal routine, but Bella wanted to be changed by Edward and Edward agreed to change Bella as long as she would marry him, but a coven of freshly-made vampires were set loose upon Seattle and Bella's life was once again in danger. She and Edward went up the mountains to camp out and wait for the fight to end. The real fight was actually where they were camped, as Victoria- James's mate- came to avenge him. Once Edward had destroyed Victoria, Bella and Edward went back to his family, where the Volturri met up with them again and Edward and Calisle assured them that Bella would be changed soon.Once the day's shock wore off, Bella agreed to marry Edward and to do it poperly. Bella said she'd rather not have Jacob at the wedding, but Edward sent him an invitation anyway.
