“Rumor has it, he’s the handsomest vampire ever lived.” Said Alice with admiration, breaking the astonished look.
“Too many rumors were set around him!” replied Jasper perhaps offended.
“We’ve read so much about him! A lot of rumors, stories, he was a legend! “said Esme “but one thing, we were never sure about! Where he lived, and if he still lives until today!”
“Edward! Is this really his house? He lives here, right?” asked Alice excited.
“He spent most of his life here!” answered Edward.
“Is he here right now?”
“He is!”
and they all smiled with excitement!
“So, Edward! Since when have you been befriending this guy?” asked Emmet.
“I would rather say ‘Acquainted’” replied Edward emphasizing on the latest expression.

“WOW” Jasper said as we entered another hall, which was a gallery!
“This is the Gallery, which ‘he’ kept for centuries” announced Edward, “contains portraits and pictures of people he had met!” he stopped and then finished “All of them were made by him!”
The gallery was huge as it was built up in a way that looked like a maze; it looked like a maze museum with paintings and statues.
“I just can’t believe Edward met him” Said Carlisle smiling, “and I lived here in England and never had the pleasure!”
“Maybe you had…” Edward replied quietly.
Carlisle looked puzzled by this reply, as Edward wasn’t intending to explain.

“This is Derbyshire in 1390” Edward looked and pointed at a picture that was hanging next to the entrance of the maze “it is I guess was painted before this house was built!”
All the other Cullens looked up admiring the talent and taste of the painting
”and that?” asked Alice pointing at the next picture.
“This is Jerusalem more than a 1000 year ago!” replied Edward “Where he lived most of his life!”
”Wow!”

“He was born in Nazareth!” started Edward while touring around the gallery explaining each picture stands for and telling the history of the painter “He lived most of his life in Jerusalem, one day when he was 20, he was found guilty for a crime he never committed” continued he “as there was not justice back there, they wanted to execute him” he paused as he looked at another weird picture that showed no one, nor a view, just few lines “He had to save his life, so he faked his death, and left his family to run away with the English warriors” and then he looked at another painting of a woman “This happened to be his mistress!”
”His family knew he was alive?” asked Carlisle.
”No! if they thought he was still alive, he would have been caught! As he made absolutely certain that no body knew about his escapement and not even his mistress, whom he loved most dearly and was about to marry!”
the painting of his mistress I suspected didn’t look accurate, but it showed a woman who sat in a position of devotion, and her red hair looked like flames.
”when he moved to England,” Edward proceeded “he started a new life, he has changed his name, and let the past behind!” Edward paused as he looked at another picture of another woman, but this one was extremely beautiful, with golden hair and eyes, which looked more like Rosalie “He fell for a woman, as he believed most beautiful creature!”
”That all was before he was transformed?” asked Jasper.
”Yes! And this woman was a vampire!” replied Edward “As you might guess, she also fell for him, and there was a true attachment between both, until she was destroyed by someone, a jealous husband I presume.”
”How typical!” gasped Esme.
”Her husband, or mate, couldn’t kill the lover, instead he killed someone else, a trick I guess!” Edward stood for a minute recollecting his thoughts and then continued “the lover of course looked for revenge, and he lived 10 years learning about vampires and looking for that man who killed his love, until he became 30 and was transformed by a vampire friend!”
”How do you know all these stuff Edward?” Asked Carlisle “did he tell you all of it? Where is he?”
Edward looked at him and then turned to the next picture, which was a portrait of a man, another vampire.
