Natural Life.

Long tresses of hair fell past her shoulders, her hair – matching the suns own color - shined with the glow of the lamp that was next to her on the vanity. Her ivory hairbrush caressed her golden hair locks, bushing though it so seamlessly. Her soft and warm hands held that brush very daintily, in a lady-like fashion. She looks over at me and smiles softly, never breaking the strokes of her hairbrush. As her lips turn up in to a small smile, I look down shyly and then back up and meet her awe-inspiring blue-violet eyes.

"Lilly, darling, why are you staring at me?" She says, I sigh.

"Oh Rosalie, why are you so beautiful?" I said softly, I pout slightly and rest my head on my hands that were supported by my knees. She her small smile grows and then lets out a loud laugh.

"Sister dear, I love you. You just make my day." She turns and faces her mirror and looks at herself in it. She brushes her bangs back slightly and smirks at herself, "it's just natural, you'll grow into it."

I grimace slightly at the last comment, it was unneeded. Though I may not be as beautiful as my elder sister I still was handsome-looking. I too had sunshine hair; though it was shorter it still was pretty. My eyes though were not the same has her lovely ones are, for mine were a forest green. My face was small and my features were second glanceable – but they were unlike my sister, who caught others with just one look. It was no hidden thing that I was envious of my sister and her looks. But even though I was jealous of my sister I still loved her. Even only a year younger than her I always thought of her as a woman, especially now that she was engaged! Oh Royce King, my heart be still, swoon, whatever! He was the epitome of a man – kind, hardworking, and friendly. And he has a great choice of fashion and jewelry, I sub-consciously raise my hand to the large pearl earrings that were clipped to my ears. Royce brought them over when he asked for my father's approval of Rosalie's hand, along with a new chess board for my brothers and a new fox pelt scarf for my mother and Cuban cigar for my father. Royce was so generous; he loved Rosalie and our family.

Rosalie puts down the brush onto her pearl colored vanity and stands up. Her taller frame towers over mine as I stay sitting on her bed. She looks into the mirror once more. Before walking to her overcoat that was resting on her plush chair by the door.

"Are you wearing that to the park, Lillian?" I look down at my brown dress and looked up confused. "I have told you time and time again, brown really isn't your color, try a blue next time."

"I have my new one in my room, I can change really quickly." I say standing up getting ready to leave. I stretch my also tall frame and am now equal with Rosalie's height.

"No time, Royce is already waiting." She says while putting on her expensive looking hat. She turns and walks out the door but stops suddenly, "oh! I did tell you Brandon Ruth is coming along right?" She turns around and continues walking, my eyes widen. Oh Brandon Ruth! Royce's best mate and my admirer. I blush and look at my brown dress, cursing that I didn't think of how the color would look on me. Maybe I could change really quick…

"Lillian!" I hear Rosalie call out! I knew it was best not to push it. I run down the stairs and follow Rosalie to the park where she will meet Royce and now also Brandon.

"I'm here! I'm coming!" I say, breathless as I run next to her, for someone so lady-like she is quick with her walking.

"Really Lilly, you are panting like a dog it's very unattractive." She scolds and looks around as if someone has noticed my behavior and it will tarnish her own reputation. "First we will stop at Vera and Henry's house. Their new son has arrived and I want to see him."

"But I thought Royce and Brandon…" I trailed off.

"Honestly Lilly, it's called being fashionably late.

"He is so beautiful Vera!" Rosalie says softly as she strokes baby Henrys chubby cheeks. He smiles up at her, already enamored, and reveals dimples on his cheeks. He truly was adorable with curly brown hair mopped onto his head.

Vera smiled lightly at Rosalie and thanked her. I looked at Rosalie hand Henry to Vera. There was something in Rosalie's eyes that reminded me of myself when I look at Rosalie – jealously. Rosalie was jealous of Vera and her family. Vera's father and our father are partners in the banking industry. Vera fell in love with someone who was lower-class and her father forbidden it. Vera then scandalously got pregnant and married the man quickly and her father disowned her. Never to speak to her again. But Vera was happy, very happy, even poor.

Vera seemed to notice Rosalie's emotion and patted her softly on the shoulder. "Rosalie, you will have this soon enough!"

"You're so happy Vera!" Rosalie whined, frowning, marring her features.

"Yes but you will be too, you're marrying Royce! You will be like me only richer!" Vera said, laughing slightly at the end.

"Yes I suppose so." Rosalie said, sighing softly. I nudge Rosalie softly in the ribs, she looks at me and I look at the door, she nods softly.

"Lilly and I must be leaving, we're going to the park with Royce and Brandon but I was wondering if I could stop by after and see him a bit longer?" Rosalie asked, pleading almost. Vera smiles and nods.

Rosalie smiles and stands up and I follow. We say our goodbyes and leave once again and head towards the park.

Once we get there the gentlemen come up to us and we separate, Rosalie and Royce in the front while Brandon and I a few steps back.

"This is nice," Brandon says, I look at him. He was only an inch taller than me and also very lanky looking. He had very handsome features with a straight aristocratic nose and brown eyes with matching hair. He had no facial hair and kept his hair short, so I couldn't run my finger though it. I loved running my fingers through hair, it felt nice and it was a comfort.

"Yes indeed." I said smiling at him, he smiles back at me. Rosalie's laugh floats to us and Brandon's eyes look ahead to her and his eyes darken a bit. I frown at his loss of attention.

"Do you like my dress?" I ask, hoping for his attention to be brought back to me. He looks back at me and smiles, the look in his eyes gone. He looks me up and down a few times and sighs.

"It looks very pretty on you." He says with a small quirk of a smile. I tug at the back of it subconsciously hoping that he didn't notice my quick adjustment. "Browns is a nice color." On me right or just in general? Ugh, buys are so confusing.

"Thank you Brandon." I say softly, looking at him from my eyelashes, hoping to look appealing. He smiles down at me and grasps my hand, giving it a squeeze and then releases. We walk around the park for a few more hours until we realize that the day was ending and we needed to get back.

"Today has been a lovely day Lillian." Brandon says to me and we face each other at the entrance to the park. "I was hoping that I could possibly walk you home before I need to go."

I smile and nod; Royce and Rosalie come over to us. "Ah, are we leaving? Well Rosalie, might I walk you back as well?" Royce asks, smiling at Rosalie. She smiles back and blushes.

"That would be very pleasing but I am not going home right away, so I have to decline." Rosalie says politely. Royce's smiles tightens slightly says his goodbyes telling Brandon he will meet him at the bar later on. As we separate I ask Brandon about Royce's comment about the bar.

"Oh nothing really, just a few of our friends are meeting up there and were just going to have a bit of fun." He replied.

I smile softly and look away.

It's the fateful night for the Hale family… : (

Hey you guys! So I have a few ideas for this story, my poll was mostly 50 – 50 for who I should choose as my next main guys is I am going to give you guys a chance to tell me. I would like you to tell me why you chose that person but it is unnecessary. I have one idea that has been never done before so if you guys don't choose I will. He is in the book, kinda, he has no lines only mentioned (NOT ROYCE! But that gives me an idea…). If anyone can guess who it is correctly you can have something! :-)

I am also letting you choose her power! I have some ideas but I want your ideas too! I don't want something that is super amazing and makes her very powerful like mind control or time travel or whatever your amazing minds can come up with. Your guys' choice will affect Lilly SO CHOOSE CAREFULLY!

My ideas are: Lilly can make people less confident in themselves/intimidate them (I like this one, it fits with her past well), or see the present – like what someone is doing at this very moment – but she has to touch them before she can see them, or changer her appearance like eyes, hair, nose etc. but only to one person at a time and it's a mind thing so they aren't really seeing it, it's just their imagination. Imagination… (if you watch spongebob like me hopefully you will get it)

LET ME KNOW OR I WILL CHOOSE and she may end up with Lauren Mallory and have the ability to grow chicken wings! Muhahahah! :{) not really…

Oh by the way the ideas for her ability are not my own! I'm not that creative… My creative was the chicken wings… :/ Haha!

Oh! Lilly is portrayed by Candice Accola
