Edward Cullen is the son of a serial killer - Edward Masen. As a young child, he witnessed things that no boy should ever experience. He was taken in by his aunt and uncle - Esme and Carlisle Cullen - and was raised with them. Now, about twenty or so years later, he lived his life in absolute control away from his family. Every hour was designated for something specific, and tardiness just won't do. No surprises, no shocks, and definitely no change for Edward Cullen in the life that he is supposedly 'living'. But one day, a brown-eyed woman knocks on his door - unexpectedly, something which Edward didn't appreciate since it was disturbing his routine - and asks him of his identity. And suddenly his whole world seems to have shaken to the core. Who was this beautiful lady and what could she possibly want to do with him? When he finally decides to give her a chance to explain herself, will he be able to meet eyes with her when he realizes that she is part of the past he is so desperately trying to run from? Will her whimsical nature connect with that shy one of Edward's and will she be able to make him realize that he is not a monster he thinks he is or has bad blood running in his veins?

I don't think I can emphasize how much I adored this fanfiction. I am a huge fan of angst, as you all know by now, and this story had me hooked from the very first chapter. The entire story is written in Edward's perspective so we, as readers, can see exactly what is going through his head for him to live such a constricted lifestyle. When Bella and Edward meet, it is obvious to both of them that they are polar opposites from each other despite being two roots of the same problem. While Edward deals with his past in a controlled manner, Bella chooses to move on and build something better of her life. This fanfiction will tug at your heart-strings for the things that both of them have gone through, especially Edward. But it's an amazing feeling when we see Bella really smoothing Edward out around his edges and making him realize that he is and will never be even close to what his biological father ever was. The story is fairly short, and you should be able to finish it in a couple of days so please do not hesitate to delve right into it! In fact, stop waiting around and jump at it at this moment - it is a MUST read!

Bad Blood consists of 20 chapters and a total of 57,319 words. The story is rated M for language and sexual activities.
