Let life be as beautiful as summer flowers

And death as beautiful as autumn leaves

- Rabindranath Tagore

Many people view death differently. Some people are for it or against it. I don't have a preference. I just view life as life. Live life to the fullest as some people say.

I never gave much thought on how I would die. Especially being given a second chance at life. Well, I don't think I'm actually dead per say.

More like in a coma in a different world. I just happen to be in the Twilight universe while in a coma. How this works, I don't know.

From the moment I was born into this world I was aware of what was happening.

Driving on a rainy night is what got me here in the first place. Crashing my car into a tree in the middle of a rain storm winded me up in a coma. I could't regret that though. I had gained another family as an after affect. A family who loved me.

There are fanfictions where people die and become reborn as Bella or Bella's sister. I was reborn as neither. I wasn't Bella and I wasn't Bella's sister. And I was fine with that.

I couldn't regret my decision on coming here. Risking my life for someone who wasn't real in my other world. But dying in a place where people loved me seemed like a pretty good way to go.

I look upon death as an old friend. Especially in how my life changed in the course of 17 years. Death was just another adventure to go on. For that I would embrace death.

I looked into the eyes of a hungry predator. A hungry animal who wanted my flesh and blood. I looked at him as he smiled at me as if I was an old friend. I took a breath as he took a step towards me. To end my life for good.

Night seems to block everything out. It's hard to drive in the dark with headlights on. Even harder while driving through a storm. That's how I'm currently seeing things. Dark and wet.

It probably isn't the wisest decision to drive through a storm but me being stubborn decided to do it anyway. Now I am seriously regretting my decision. Everything around me is bleak.

The rain pouring heavily and fast makes it hard to function and to see anything. The only light that helped was the lightning. But even those only lasted about 10 seconds tops.

"Crap. This is bad."

I was safely at a friends house when the storm hit. I needed to get home so I decided to try and make the 30 minute drive. It was basically a straight shot so I didn't think it would be all that bad. Even insisting that I would be fine and saying no to the many offers of spending the night. Bad decision.

"Ok. Everything's going to be alright. You only have less than 10 minutes until your home safe. You can do this." Yes talking to myself when I'm nervous helps.

The winding roads seem longer than usual. I feel like I'll never make it home at this point. I just make it around a curve and spot the familiar oak tree that me and my sister climbed a lot when we were kids. Seeing that oak tree brought joy into my heart. I was going to make it home. My house was just around another curve behind that oak tree. I couldn't help but to smile at this point.

But that joy and smile immediately went away when I noticed a pick-up truck going way too fast around the corner. I tried to stop my ford taurus and get out of the way of the truck but to no avail. I was helpless when it crashed into the drivers side of my car and pined me against that huge oak tree.

Glass shattered everywhere and rained down on my face, body, and the rest of my car. I was helpless when my head jerked forward and hit the steering wheel with so much force that my vision got hazy.

I could feel something wet and sticky coming down from my head. It took me a couple seconds to realize that it was blood. I tried to move my arms to wipe the blood off of my face but I couldn't move them. It felt like they were weighed down by a 50 Ib weight. I couldn't even lift my head when I heard knocking on my drivers side window. I couldn't even talk to tell the person who was shouting to be quiet. I felt like everything was drowned out by water.

This oak tree used to be where me and my sister played. It was a place of safety. I always felt home at this tree. It's where I had my first kiss, read all my books. I loved this tree. Yet at this moment, I hated it. I couldn't help but to curse at it, because I knew I would die soon because I was pinned against it and this stupid pick-up truck.

The last thought that I could comprehend before I let darkness take over me was "that damned

I was awoken by a light. It took everything to open my eyes but I managed to force them open. I was groggy at first. Not aware of where I was. Where was my room, or my house? Then everything came back to me.

Being hit by that truck and pinned against that stupid oak tree. I was in a car crash. I immediately looked around me and saw nothing but white. Everything was white. There wasn't anything around me, no furniture nothing. Just white. Did this mean I was dead?

"Am I dead?" I couldn't help but to let that question leave my lips. I started to panic a little. I was only 18 and I had died.

"Not quite." I jumped to hear another voice. I looked around to see myself still alone. Was I just imagining it?

"Who said that?"

"I did." I turned around to see this ray of golden light in front of me. It had the shape of a person but there where no features. It was just golden light.

"Who are you? And what did you mean by not quite?" I'm losing my mind. I'm talking to a ray of light.

"I have many names. But that's not important." And the ray of light is talking back. I've officially lost it. "Your not exactly dead. Here let me show you."

I'm blinded by the light before everything clears. I look around to find myself in a hospital. I see a girl hooked up to many wires asleep. She looks bruised and beat up. The left side of her face is bruised and swollen. Theres a cut that starts at the right temple and goes the right ear. She looks so bad that it takes me a second to realize who's on the bed.

I can't help but gasp at the sight. "That's me?"

"It is." I turn to see that the light has a shape now. She looks to be in her 30's.

"Who are you?"

She smiles at me kindly. "I guess you can call me your guardian angel." I turn back to the girl that's asleep.

"I look like I'm sleeping."

"Yes, but your more like in a coma."

"How long have I been like that?"

"Three days." I hear a door open and see a women enter. She looks as if she's cried nonstop.

"Mom." I turn to the angel. "She can't see or hear me can she?"

She smiles sadly. "No sorry."

"Why am I here?"

"That's for you to decide."

Ok. Now I'm confused. "What?"

"We are going to send you somewhere for you to heal while you are in a coma. It's for you to decide if you want to come back to the real world or stay there. You will encounter great challenges but you need to endour it. Good luck."

"Wait, what the hell..."

I'm immediately encompassed by that same light again and plunged into darkness.

Darkness seemed like the only thing that was available. Feeling alone and lost. That all ended when a bright light stung my eyes. I gasped and woke up with a start. Ugh, now my head hurts. My head was hurting so badly that I didn't even notice the changes in my room. It was only that I noticed it when I saw myself in a mirror.

In that instant my heart stopped. I quickly got out of bed and made my way to a floor length mirror. Oh my god, I looked like I was my four year old self. I'm a munchkin. I'm a freakin munchkin. Oh no. This is not good. I soon remember about that angel lady. She said "We are going to send you to a place to help you heal."

So she wasn't lying. So I'm in a coma in the real world and I'm in another universe or something. The only thing is that I don't know how long I'll be here though. Great, not only will I have to be here for who knows how long but I'll have to go through puberty again.

That last thought brought dread into me. Well, this is just great. Hormones here we come.

I decide to look around me for the first time. It's a bedroom that a little girl would have. The walls are purple. My favorite color. A small smile graced my lips but soon left it when I started to think about my current situation. I wonder where exactly I am at. That question was answered as a thought went through my head. Twilight.

My eyes couldn't help to widen and a scream escaped my lips before I could stop it. I instantly heard running up the stairs and knew someone was coming. I ran back to the bed and was able to get the covers back over me by the time my door flew open.

"Sophie!" I looked up with a start and noticed a man in his mid to late 30's. "Are you ok?" I noticed that he had blue eyes, so he couldn't be a vampire. Was I actually hallucinating or was I really in the Twilight universe.

"Was it another nightmare?" So I suffer from nightmares, wonderful.

"I'm ok." I needed to reassure him and myself included.

He let out a sigh of relief. "You had me and your mother worried." He smiled and came over and sat on my bed. So this man is my father.

He kissed me on the head and tucked me back in. "Get some sleep. We'll see you in the morning." I couldn't help but to smile a little. At that very moment I felt safe.

"Goodnight."

The years passed by quickly. When I woke up I was indeed four years old. I now found myself to be at the age of six. I found myself to have a very high IQ in this universe. I guess having graduated high school in my other world helped me. Joan and Scott, who are my parents, were very proud.

I couldn't help but to ponder on my situation from time to time. Of course no one knew about me being from another universe. I had to keep that a secret from everyone. Overtime I kept asking myself was I actually in Twilight. I never saw or heard anything that led me to believe that I was in fact in Twilight.

There was no Bella or any of the Cullen's. There are fanfictions of people being reborn in Twilight and end up being Bella's sister. Well of course I didn't end up with that outcome. I was surprisingly ok with that though.

"Come on Sophie." I'm interrupted from my thoughts as I hear the voice of Scott travel up to my room. I quickly ran out of my room and head down the stairs. Hey I might be smart for my age but I still have the energy of a six year old.

"Ready sunshine?" I couldn't help but to smile at my parents. I might call them Joan and Scott in my head, but I still refer them as my parents. They have taken care of me for six years, two of those years I was aware of.

"Ready." I lept at Scott and he caught me while twirling us around. We both found ourselves laughing. Mom soon walked over to us and couldn't help but to smile.

"You two ready?" Mom and dad decided that we would go out to eat dinner tonight. I was excited because I wouldn't have to eat canned soup again. Joan wasn't the best cook. We usually settled for canned food or frozen dinner's from the grocery store.

"Mhm." They put me in a winter jacket and made sure I was bundled up before we left. We currently live in a small town in Maine. Snow was everywhere at the moment and I couldn't help but to love it here.

We headed to the car. Scott went to the driver's side while Joan put me in my car seat. Man I can't wait until I don't have to be in one of these anymore. I'm always trying to convince them to get rid of it but to no avail.

Dinner went by quickly. I got pasta which was good. I would always look up to see Joan and Scott either looking at each other lovingly or looking at me. We soon went back to the car and headed home. Over these past two years I have felt nothing but love from these two. I was incredibly grateful for that.

They might not be my real parents but they were my parents right now. I couldn't ask for anything else. I was happy and I didn't want that to change anytime soon. But that all would change in an instant.

Lights immediately blinded all three of us. Mom and dad started screaming my name before the car hit us. It hit us with such force that the car started turning over again and again. The glass on the car started to shatter and rained down on all three of us. The car finally stopped rolling and landed on the roof of the car. I was dazed for the time being but soon gained awareness.

"Mom? Dad?" No answer. Not even a groan. That instantly made me worried.

I looked around and noticed there was blood. I even had blood coming down from my face. I felt pain in my abdomen and saw a shard of glass in it. I took it out and noticed blood was coming out. I couldn't help but to panic. I wound up in another universe because of a stupid car crash only to die in another car crash? Does that angel lady hate me or something? I tried to unbuckle myself from my car seat but to no use. Great, I kept telling them that I didn't need one and now I'm stuck in it.

Blood started rushing to my head. I was getting light headed and groggy. I was hoping and praying that someone would come soon. That's when I heard crashing. Huh?

"Jasper stop!" Jasper? I immediately saw three pairs of feet coming onto the road. One was quickly coming at the car I was in but was stopped by another.

"Jasper calm down!"

"Emmett, we need to get him back to the house. I didn't realize that something like this would happen. I wish Alice was here to warn us." Wait. Jasper, Emmett, and Alice? Was I really in Twilight? I couldn't help but to gasp at this revelation. Everything seemed to stop as soon as that sound left my lips.

"Wait, do you hear that?" They heard me. Well of course they heard you, they might be vampires. The pain in my stomach was increasing fast. I looked down and saw the blood was starting to spread even more. I knew immediately that I needed to get out of this car fast.

"Help." My voice couldn't help but to come out as a whisper. I was injured and groggy. I couldn't really think straight. The other pair of feet came towards me immediately and stopped by my side. I saw a face of a young woman with golden hair. Oh my, she was gorgeous. Her golden eyes immediately widened. Wait golden? So that thought was right all along. I had a feeling that these were three of the Cullen's, but I still needed proof.

"Emmett! Call Carlisle. There's a little girl in here alive!" I think she probably thought I wasn't paying attention because she ripped the car door off of it's hinges and quickly got me out of that car. Well, I guess that is all the proof that I needed. I don't know how long my head was resting on Rosalie's lap before I started to drift away.

The last thought that came to mind before I succumbed to darkness yet again was, "Holy crap. I really am in the Twilight universe."

Feeling of numbness and pain was currently consuming my body. I felt powerless and alone.

Beep...Beep...Beep...

Ugh, why is there beeping?

Beep...

Will it ever shut up? I try to open my eyes and open my mouth to tell the noise to shut up. But I found my body to be still. I couldn't move or nudge. BEEP...

That stupid beeping continued and after what felt like forever, I was slowly able to feel movement on my fingertips. I could move fingers and slowly felt movement travel up my body. I was soon able to open my eyes to see white. Again with a white room? Will this every stop?

I have to close my eyes because of the brightness. When my eyes finally adjusted, I noticed that I'm in a hospital. Everything came back to me all at once. The car accident, being in the Twilight universe, and getting into another car accident that led me to Rosalie. Wait, Rosalie Hale? My eyes started to widen when I remembered her, Emmett, and Jasper at the car crash site. Rosalie, where is she?

I look around to see nobody in the room. Well, guess they left as soon as they brought me here. Just when I figure out I am indeed in the Twilight universe, they leave me. Am I ever going to find out what I'm doing here?

I try to sit up just as the door swings open. Startled, I look up to see none other than Rosalie Hale. She still looks as beautiful as ever. The books and movies didn't do her justice. So she didn't leave me after all. All I could do was stare at here, was this even real?

She looks at me and seems to be surprised to see me awake. "Oh my god. Your awake?" Even her voice sounded like bells. She immediately rushes to my side and starts to examine me. She gently starts to tilt my head side to side. Hey, I'm not a lab rat. Still, the gesture of her being worried eased my pain a little. She looks worried about me. Why would she be worried though?

After sometime of her looking me over, I finally found my voice. "Where am I? Where are my parents?" Well I knew I was in a hospital obviously but I needed to know where Joan and Scott were at. I needed to make sure that they were ok and safe. Her eyes instantly looked saddened. Oh no, that can't be a good sign.

"You were in a car accident honey. You are in a hospital in Maine at the moment. I'll go get my father." Before I can ask anything else she is gone in a flash. Why didn't she answer my question? Where were they? I'm interrupted from my thoughts when the sound of a door opening hits my ears.

I look up to see none other than Carlisle Cullen in front of me with Rosalie right behind him. She continues to look at me with worried eyes. Like I'm a doll and I could break at any moment. Well technically you could Sophie, they are vampires. Oh crap. Is Edward here? What if he can read my mind? Then he'll know that I know everything about them. This is not good, definitely not good.

"Sophie?" I look up to see Carlisle looking at me while waving his hand in front of my face.

"Huh? Oh sorry."

He smiled at me kindly. I can tell why he was considered the father figure to the Cullen clan. "It's ok sweat heart. My name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

"Hi." I'm still in shock about where I'm at that words are still unable to escape my mouth.

"Hello. This is my daughter Rosalie. She found you in the car crash." I nodded my head. Uh huh, and managed to tear the car door off the car completely to get me out of the car. But they don't need to know about that.

"What happened?"

"You were in a car crash with your parents. They were hit by a drunk driver." Oh, so that's why lights hit us so fast.

"Are they ok?" His eyes immediately dimmed. I new the worse news was about to come.

"Sophie, I'm sorry to say this but they weren't as fortunate as you are." I was stunned.

"Their dead aren't they?" Tears started to fall out of my eyes. They were all I new and just like that they were taken from me. As far as I knew, there were no more surviving relatives that could take me in.

They both looked stunned that I could comprehend this with me being so young.

Rosalie slowly approached me, "There there. It's ok. Your gonna be ok." She looked up at Carlisle with what looked like a question in her eyes. There was a knock at the door that interrupted Rosalie from calming me down. I looked up at the door and in walked none other than Edward Cullen.

Huh, now I see why Bella fell in love with him. Crap, has that happened yet. Oh no.

I look up at him quickly and try to see if he can read my mind. He looks curious but doesn't seem to react to anything that I'm thinking.

Edward can you hear me? His head doesn't jerk up. He looks frustrated. No way.

Edward I know your a vampire and I know your whole family are vampires! Nothing.

Oh my god. He can't hear me! Well now I feel a lot better. I don't have to worry about keeping my mind safe.

He looks at Carlisle and shakes his head. Carlisle's eyes widened a bit and looked at me.

"Does that mean I have to go into foster care or go to an orphanage? I have no family. Nobody else to take care of me."

All three of them look stunned. Maybe I shouldn't be saying something that someone my age can't really understand.

"Sophie, how do you know that?" Carlisle questioned me. Guess I have to tell them something.

"Um. I have a high IQ." Realization hit their faces. Well I'll just tell them that. They don't need to know the rest for right now. "But seriously, where am I going to go?" Rosalie's eyes immediately brightened and she quickly turned to Carlisle.

"No!" I turned to see Edward who was glaring at Rosalie.

"Why not?" Well, Rosalie sure is stubborn.

"Why don't we take this conversation outside?" Me and Carlisle both watched Edward and Rosalie both walk out of the room. Carlisle looked down at me and smiles. "You seem bright for your age."

I nodded. "Yea, I have a high IQ apparently." He smiled at me.

"It says here that your six."

I nodded. I am six here but in my other world I was 17.

"I'll be right back. Still need to run some tests then we will figure out social services." I nodded. I didn't want to go but where was I going to stay?

I've been in this hospital for a week and I has healing up nicely. I had a broken leg, broken ribs, and that shard of glass left a huge scar on my stomach. Well, guess I won't be wearing any bikinis. Not that I'm complaining. Never did fancy those things.

Rosalie is in here almost every day. Making sure that I'm ok and if I'm eating enough food. I can tell that she would have been a good mother. She's caring and kind, just don't get on her bad side. I haven't really met any of the other Cullen's.

I met Emmett, he came in one time to get Rosalie to get something to eat. Man was he huge. But just like the books said, he was like a big teddy bear. He smiled at me and said hello. Rosalie told me she would be back soon. That was the only time I saw Emmett.

The only time I saw Edward was when he tried to read my mind. I guess he's really frustrated that he cant read mine. That was it for the Cullen's. I have yet to meet Esme, Alice, and Jasper. I kind of assumed that this was before Bella so they haven't met yet either. I wasn't surprised about not meeting Jasper. I knew he was new to the vegetarian lifestyle.

Carlisle and Rosalie are mainly the only ones I see. I understand why Carlisle has to be around me, but not Rosalie. Was it possible that me being in a hospital and her finding me brought out her motherly instincts? I wasn't sure about that just yet but I suspected as much.

I looked up as Carlisle opened the door. "Well, it looks like your all better. I will be able to get you out of here soon." Panic starts to hit me quickly.

I frantically look at Rosalie. "But I don't want to go. Where will they take me?" No I didn't want to leave the Cullen's. I always admired them and the fact that they are here, I have to admit, that I've become attached. I didn't want them to go. Rosalie quickly rushed to my side.

"Sh sh its ok. Their not going to take you anywhere."

"Rosalie." Carlisle is looking at her sternly, but Rosalie just ignores him, she just kept looking at me.

"Promise?" She smiled at me.

"Promise."

xxxxx

Promises never last however and are bound to be broken. It's been a two weeks since I left that hospital. Two weeks since I last saw Rosalie and Carlisle. Sure the people here are nice, but I didn't want to be with them. I wanted to be with a family who loved me. The Cullen's always came to my mind when I thought of that.

I knew it was impossible for me to stay and live with them though. A human living with a family of vampires. That was unheard of and not to mention if the Volturi found out about it, everything would go downhill. Hey, a girl can always dream though.

I am staying at a foster home until I find something permanent. Jill, the foster lady, was nice and kind. There were five of us that were living in this house. She must really love children to take in so many of us.

I currently find myself perched on the windowsill in the attic. It's been turned into a bedroom and it was a perfect place to read. I had a book in my hand, but I'm not paying any attention to it. I just keep staring out the window. Am I ever going to leave this place?

From the distance, I can see a car approaching. Curiosity soon overcomes me. Who could be coming here? Was it another kid? My answer was answered when three figures stepped out of the car. My eyes couldn't help but to widen.

No way. Low and behold, Carlisle Cullen, Rosalie Hale and who I assumed to be Esme Cullen were outside in front of the house. What are they doing here?

As if they can sense me, all three of them look up at me. I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face. They came back! Rosalie couldn't help but to beam up at me.

It seemed she was just as impatient to see me as I was to see her, because as soon as Jill opened the door to let them in, Rosalie immediately darted into the house.

I get up and started to make my way downstairs when I see Rosalie on the steps coming up towards the attic.

"Rosie!" I couldn't help but to jump at her. They came back! She caught me in her arms and laughed and held onto me for what felt like ages. "What are you doing here?" I couldn't help but to ask that question.

She just smiled at me. "A promise is a promise right?"

I smiled and just nodded. "Sophie?" I look down to see Jill standing with Carlisle and Esme at the bottom of the stairs. "Can you come down here please? Dr. Cullen and his wife would like to talk to you." I nodded and started to walk down the stairs when Rose put me down.

Jill leads us to a drawing room and ushers the four of us in. She sits in a chair behind a desk while I sit on a couch right next to Rosalie.

"Sophie, Dr. Cullen and his wife have something to ask you." I turned to look at the three of them.

Carlisle came over and sat next to me. "Sophie, me and my family wanted to ask you something."

"Ok. Is everything ok?" Carlisle just smiles and chuckles.

"Everything is fine dear. This is my wife Esme." So I was right. I looked at her and smiled. She did have that mother figure look about her. Her whole demeanor was angelic. She smiled back at me kindly. "We were wondering if it would be ok with you, if we could adopt you." My eyes couldn't help but to widen.

Adopt me? They want to adopt me? No words are escaping my lips, I can't find any words to say.

"We know it's sudden, but our daughter Rose, already sees you apart of our family. And so does Esme and myself. Would that be ok?"

After what felt like hours, I was finally able to find my voice. "Really? You want to adopt me?"

Jill was the first to speak. "They have already filled out all the paper work. All you need to do is pack your things and you can leave."

I smiled and nodded. "Ok. I would like that very much. Thank you." All three of the Cullen's looked happy. Well, Rosalie looked more ecstatic than anything. Oh boy, I wonder what Alice is like.

Rose got up to help me pack and I soon found myself in the backseat of the car. No car seat though, thank the lord.

I looked up at my new family and just smiled. I really had somewhere to belong.

The car ride was fairly quiet. Rose would talk to me off and on. She would tell me how I would enjoy living with them. I would look up and see Esme smile, but she had a worried look on her face. Carlisle would reach over and squeeze her hand to reassure her everything would be ok. Were they having second thoughts? I knew it was a risk to take me in, but I didn't want to be a burden on them.

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a house come into view. All I could do was stare at it. It was so big. The house was technically still in Maine, but they lived about ten miles from the Canadian border. Their house was secluded in the forest, which made sense since they were vampires and wanted to keep people at a distance.

The car soon stopped and Rosalie was helping me out of the car. I looked up and saw how big the house really was. "Woah." I couldn't help but to say. From a distance the house looked big but up close it was bigger.

Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme all chuckled. I smiled and looked up at them. I was happy for the moment and thats all that mattered for now. Rose knelt down to my level and looked me in the eyes. Man I cannot wait until I am taller. Being a midget sucks. "Are you ready to meet the rest of the family Sophie?"

I instantly get nervous. I'm finally going to meet the rest of the Cullen's and I can't help but to get nervous. "What if they don't like me?"

Rose smiled. "Their going to love you." she tucked a piece of my brown hair behind my ear. I smiled at her when she did that. "Ready?"

"Ready." I said while nodding my head. She smiled and took my hand.

"Ok." Rose led me to the door of the house and let Carlisle and Esme head in first.

When I got into the house it led to the living room. Wow the inside was huge as well.

I looked around me and saw in the living room stood the rest of the Cullen's. Jasper, Emmett, Edward, and Alice.

Stephenie Meyer had them down pat. They were absolutely beautiful. Alice looked like a pixie with her short spiky hair and Jasper had his honey blonde locks. He looked to be in pain. Well he is the newest one to be on the vegetarian diet.

I was cautious that I didn't notice that Alice was bristling with excitement until she spoke to me.

"Sophie!" I jumped at the volume she spoke my name in. "It's so nice to finally meet you! Welcome home! Oh you are just going to love it here. Me and Esme already have your room all set up. I can't wait for the future shopping trips that I am seeing. Oh, you are going to love Paris during fashion week."

Wait, what? Shopping trips? Fashion week? Everything she was saying was constantly pilling up on top of what she was saying next. All this information started to overwhelm me. I knew she would be something like this but I never imagined it would be like this. Well, not so soon anyways.

Rose put a hand on my shoulder and stepped in front of me a little. "Alice." She growled. I could just see the glare she was sending Alice.

Alice immediately stopped. "Sorry." She looked apologetically. I instantly felt this wave of calmness over take me. Thanks Jasper. I needed that.

Carlisle took my hand in led me over toward the others. "Sophie. I would like you to meet the rest of our family. This is Alice and Jasper. And you probably remember Emmett and Edward." I nodded.

"Hi." Jasper sent me a smile. So he didn't hate me, good to know. I looked at Edward to see that he looked frustrated. Huh, so you still can't read my mind. Good because I want to keep it that way.

"Hey short stack." I look up to see Emmett smiling at me.

"Short stack? I'm not pancakes you know." Laughter soon joined the quiet atmosphere.

Emmett smiled. "Yep. She's a keeper."

Rose turned and glared at him. "You will in no way shape or form corrupt her."

"No promises babe." I had to smile at that. Everyone started to walk away. Rose told me to stay were I was at. She had to get something. Only Carlisle and Edward remained.

I looked at Edward who was at the other side of the room. "You ok?"

He smiled a little. "I'm fine."

"Then why are you standing all the way over there? I'm not the plague you know."

Booming laughter came from upstairs. "Yea she's a keeper!"

Eddie smiled. "Yea I know." He walked to me slowly and knelt down to my level. "I just find you hard to read."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No. It's quite relaxing actually."

"Good." I couldn't help but to smile. I felt that everything would be ok after all.

xxxxxxx

Four years have gone by. Rose was like a second mom to me. Her and Alice both would constantly spoil me. It did get annoying at times but I always enjoyed it. I sometimes called Carlisle and Esme mom and dad. They didn't seem to mind. They seemed happy when I did it. I've felt nothing but love between all of them. Emmett and Jasper got me into video games early on.

Rose slapped and yelled at Emmett for a whole day when she heard me cussing when Emmett beat me at a video game. She said and I quote "your corrupting her mind." I was grounded for a week and not allowed to play any video games for awhile.

Me and Alice played together a lot. She always had me try different clothes on and would take me on shopping trips. I was basically her human barbie doll. I never minded though.

Out of everyone I was the closest to Edward. I think him not being able to read my mind relaxed him. When he was around me, he wasn't bombarded by my thoughts. I tended to spend a lot of time with him.

They finally told me that they were all vampires a year after they adopted me. They caught on to how I noticed that they never ate and never seemed to sleep.

They were surprised when I didn't run or scream. I just said ok and that I trusted them. I mean if they wanted to kill me they would have already. Emmett was happy when they told me because he could finally run around the house at full speed. Always did give me a head ache when he would constantly run around me in a blur.

We currently live in Canada. It was basically always cloudy and dark all the time. I didn't mind that though. I met the Denali's and Peter and Charlotte. They were all kind and understanding. Yes it took them a second to come to terms that a human was living with a group of vampires. But they all quickly turned into a second family to me.

Edward and Rosalie were over protective when Peter and Charlotte came to visit them one day. It was the first time that I met them and they were a little on edge. They said they didn't trust them to be alone with me. That was annoying. To always have them around and hovering. But they were being cautious.

The Volturi haven't made a house call yet. They probably didn't know about me yet but they probably will soon. News around the vampire community traveled fast if you weren't careful. I was worried about it and so were the others. I knew that they would possibly kill me and I was terrified over that fact. The Volturi always did creep me out when I read about them. Carlisle said that when that day comes for when I do meet with the Volturi, we would be prepared.

I currently found myself watching tv with everyone. We were watching a football game that I wasn't paying any attention to. I was paying attention to Emmett yelling at the tv saying his team was pathetic and losing the game. Me and Edward just laughed at everything he said. His antics always did amuse me.

I heard the telephone start to ring in the background. Carlisle got up to answer it since we were all paying attention to something else. As soon as he picked the phone up Alice gasped. The tv volume instantly went down. I looked at Alice and then at Carlisle. Carlisle's form instantly seemed to freeze.

"Yes. I understand." He turned to me and his eyes had an alarmed look to it. "It's for you Sophie." What? Who would want to talk to me?

Everyone looked to be on edge as I walked over to the phone and took it out of Carlisle's hand.

I slowly put it up to my ear and calmly said "hello?"

What I heard next made my blood run cold.

"Hello. This is Sophie I presume."

Sorry for the huge time skip. She's at the age of ten now. I wanted to get things moving along and felt that if I didn't then I would be stuck on Sophie being young for a while. I feel that the next chapter will be better than this one. This basically introduced her to the rest of the family and started with her living with them. They next chapter will really get her into the vampire world. Hopefully I will have the next chapter up soon. College has been kicking butt and haven't had as much time to write as I would like. I'm an art major and I basically spend my whole time in the art building finishing up projects outside of my class periods. I basically live in the art building. Well until next time!
