Edward Cullen. He has been a vampire for 106 years. He turned when he was seventeen years old. His “family” settled down in the little town known as Forks, in Washington USA. The Cullens were well known in Forks. Every parent told their kids to stay away. None of the citizens knew there were such things as Vampires and Werewolves in Forks or anywhere else. Bella Swan returned back to her hometown to discover the Cullens. But she wasn’t the only one. You moved into town the same time she did.
