Summary: This is about seven years after the time period of Breaking Dawn. Everything in that book happened, except Nessie didn't imprint on Jacob. Forks is vampire free.

One day a girl shows up on Paul's doorstep and it turns out to be his daughter! See what happens.

Chapter 1

Lauren's parents were crack heads, and didn't care. Soon after she got pregnant her whole family moved to Chicago. They lived in a crappy apartment in a not so good area. She had the baby and named her Pheonyx Skylor Meraz, she was born on August 26. Pheonyx was beautiful. She had the classic Quileute skin color, hazel eyes, a button nose, red lips, and a head full of light brown hair. After the baby Lauren got very depressed and started using drugs. For the first two years of the babies life Lauren was fine, but soon she became too addicted to the high. By the time Pheonyx was three, her mom was a major crack head. Her mom barely remembered to feed her, all she worried about was her next high. She would sell her body, and bring different men in the house. Pheonyx's grandparents did the same thing.

Growing up she learned that she only had herself to depend on. She did everything for herself. At school she was amazingly smart, but still an outcast. She did very well on tests, but never answered questions in class and kept to herself.

At home she was verbally and physically abused. Her family may have been crack heads, but even doped up they knew not to make any visible marks on her face.

When she turned eight she lost all her innonce when her family started sexually abusing her. They would sell her body for money. Pheonyx was very closed off after that.

Once she turned ten she started doing odd jobs and getting a several dollars here and there for several different things. She was saving up money so that she could run away.

By the time she was twelve she was a shell. She had humanity inside of her, but never showed it. She was amazingly smart though, and very talented. She found an old guitar in a dumpster and taught herself how to play. She was amazing and had a great singing voice.

When she was 12 the only person that showed her any compassion was on old man that owned a music store. He took pity on her, and he tried to take care of her. He would give her a sandwich every day, and paid her $20 a week to help around the store. That was all she would accept, she didn't want people's pity.

His music store was very popular and he made good money. He taught her how to play every instrument in that store, and broadened her music taste.

He knew that she was neglected, and that her family were crack heads. He was the very first person that she opened up to. He showed her that people could have compassion.

One day while looking around the house she found her birth certificate and some old pictures. That is how she found out who her dad was. It was in one of her mom's old diaries. She learned that she was Quileute, and that her mom was from a small reservation in Forks, Washington. Then she knew exactly where she was going.

She also found a jewelry box with $2,000. She didn't know what the money was for, but obviously no one knew where this stuff was or else it would've been long gone. She put it in a safe place so that when she was ready to run she would be able to find it and so that no one would mess with it.

She stayed around for another year. Waking up cooking breakfast, leaving for school, music store after school, go home some days the dealer and friends would be there, and other days her family would just push her around, clean up and cook dinner, after that she would do homework, sleep for maybe two hours and do it all again. Some days she would play and sing on the corner or down at the subway station for extra change.

She decided to leave on her 13th birthday. She started slowing getting things together, for the day she would leave. She decided to take the bus to Port Angeles, then a taxi to La Push.

Her birthday was during the summer. That day she snuck out early that morning. She grabbed all of her money, her birth certificate, the pictures, and a few of her belongings. She only had a necklace her mom gave her as a baby, her song book, a guitar and books. She threw it all into her school bag, and carried her guitar. She left the house quickly and walked into a store and went into the bathroom. She had accumulated $6,250.

She left the stall, and quickly headed to the mall. She brought a suitcase, then brought a few clothing items. Most of her suitcase was still open, and she filled it with non-perishable food. While in the mall she brought herself a wallet to put her money in.

Her train left at 12pm, and it was 10pm right now. She walked to the music store to say bye to the old man.

The old man knew this day was coming, even though he had grown to love Pheonyx he knew that she needed to leave. Her home life wasn't good, and he was pretty sure that it was worse than what she had told him.

When she walked through the door he saw a glimmer in her eyes. It was one he never saw before, it showed hope. He could never ask her to stay, it wouldn't be fair to her. He just hoped that she would keep in contact.

Pheonyx dropped her stuff and ran into the old mans arms. They told each other I love you, and that they would miss each other.

Pheonyx told him thank you, and that he gave her hope on humanity. That she would never have survived if it wasn't for him. One day while at the store she made a CD for the old man. She gave it to him, and told him not to listen until she left. She also wrote him a letter, and gave it to him with the same directions as the first one.

The old man told her to write him soon, and never to forget about him. Then he pulled out a present. Pheonyx opened it and found an iPod Classic. The old man told her to enjoy it. He had one of his employee's fill it with all types of music. It was full of a ton of songs, and he hoped that she liked it.

Pheonyx cried and gave him a big hug. She said she loved it. She looked at the time and knew it was time to go. She put the iPod in her pocket, and gave the old man one last hug. She knew she would never come back, and would never see him again. She would grant his wish, and write him though.

Walking out the door she looked back and gave him one last wave. She walked to the bus station, and quickly got her ticket and boarded the bus. As the bus pulled out she never looked back, with a smile on her face she put in her earphones leaned back and went to sleep.

She slept peacefully knowing that now nothing could hurt her. She was going to be safe.

When Pheonyx left for good the old man opened up the letter it read.

Dear Grandpa (:

I love you very much. I know you aren't really my grandpa, but you are the closest family I ever had. I just wanted to let you know that you saved me.

Around the time I met you I was considering suicide. I had a horrible home life, and it was something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I won't tell you what was going on, but I'm sure that you have your guesses and they probably are right.

You showed me compassion, and that everyone in the world isn't cruel. You gave me hope that maybe I could get out. You and your music saved me.

Thank you for taking care of my for this past year. I want you to know that I never to you help for granted. It is because of you that I'm not crazy, or completely inhumane.

Once again I want to say thank you you will never know how much you helped me.

As you know I'm going to find my father. He lives in La Push, Washington. I hope that I find him, and that he accepts me. I will write to you whatever the outcome is. I will keep in touch with you by writing, and maybe one day I will come back. I won't be back anytime soon though. I need to leave and heal.

Hopefully we will see each other again one day. I will miss you bunches, and will never forget about you.

I love you more than words can describe (:

Love,

Your Granddaughter Pheonyx

The man read the letter over several times, with tears filling his eyes. He closed the letter and popped in the CD. As he listened to it, he started crying again. Pheonyx was really talented no matter what she thought.

The CD was full of their favorite songs, and also had some of her original songs. They were really heartfelt songs, and ranged from fast paced to slow songs. He would keep this CD for forever. He would always remember Pheonyx Skylor Meraz.

She woke up several hours later, she was hungry so she pulled out a sandwich and ate it and drunk some water. She spent the whole ride by herself, and that was fine with her. When the bus pulled into Port Angeles she quickly go her stuff and got off.

She found a cab and told them to take her to La Push. They told her it would be very expensive, but she said she didn't care.

They arrived about a hour later. She paid the man $100 and got out. She stood with her bags in downtown La Push. People looked at her weird, but she didn't care. She did look a little ruff, but she also knew that she was very beautiful.

She never went through the awkward teenage years. She grew up very nicely. She started her period at 11. She had several piercings, because her family thought it would make her look older. She had her first hole from when she was a baby. Her second, industrial bar, tongue ring, nose, and naval piercing.

Pheonyx was gorgeous even for a 13 year old. She stood at 5'1. Quileute skin tone, light brown wavy hair, with dark brown natural streaks that stops at the top of her butt, hazel eyes, plump red lips. She had a great body for the 13 year old girl, and also for being starved most her life. She was on the skinny side, but her curves made her not look too skinny. She had full C cup breasts, a very curvy body, a nice full butt, and legs for days. Even with these features she resembled Paul, never looking much like her mother. Pheonyx could honestly pass for 16 maybe even 18.

After Pheonyx got out the car she started walking around, she was very hungry. She found a little quaint diner called Sue's diner. It was early around breakfast time so she ordered apple juice, blueberry pancakes, and bacon.

It was yummy and she was full afterwards. She asked around the diner to find out where her father lived. She got an address and started walking. From her years in Chicago it didn't bother her to walk. She was actually really fast, and her gym teacher always tried to get her to try out for track.

Soon she arrived at what she assumed was his house. She pulled out the old picture of her mom and him, and her birth certificate. She walked up to the door took a big breath and knocked.

Paul was 26, and married to Rachael Black. The love of his life. After the whole Volturi thing things had calmed down. They hadn't stopped phasing yet, but were planning to very soon. Him and Rachael had two kids. Twins acutally a girl and a boy. They were 5 years old. They were born two years after the Volturi left.

Once the Volturi left about a year later the Cullen's left too. During that year only three more people phased. The last people phased two years ago when a nomad passed through the youngest being 13. Now no one has phased, and things have been calm.

The pack started a construction and mechanic company. Sam headed the construction company, while Jake handle the mechanic part. They started it up right around the time the twins were born, so about five years ago. They do very good business, it is enough for everyone to live comfortably and have a few luxuries.

Everyone from the original pack was mated, except for Seth. Sam and Emily have three kids. A seven year old, four year old, and a two year old. Kim and Jared have two of their own that are 3 and a new born. Jacob mated with a nice girl named Melisa and they have one kid that is 2. Quil and Claire are now seriously dating, Claire is sixteen (lets pretend that in breaking dawn that Claire was 9. Thanks). Embry is with a girl named Linda, they just got married a year ago and are expecting. Collin is mated with Gina they are engaged, and Brady is with a girl named Zoey and is in the same place as Collin. Our new pack members are Zach, Andrew, and Owen. They haven't imprinted. Leah is still the only girl. About a year after the Volturi left Leah stopped phasing. She went to college, and found a guy. They live on the reservation and have two kids. Her kids are 3 and 1.

So as you see things are going good. Today everyone was gathered at Paul's house for dinner. They get together at least once a week to catch up. Rachael had been cooking up a storm. The pack was still very ravenous.

The ladies served all the food, and everyone sat down to eat. When dinner was done, and everything was put up they heard steps coming onto the front porch, and then a knock. Pau; got up from the couch and answered the door.

Paul opened it and saw a girl that was almost the spitting image of him. She told him that she was his daughter, then showed him a picture and a birth certificate.

Paul looked at it and saw his 13 year old self, and Lauren. An old girlfriend, it didn't last long but he remembered that she was his first time. She left soon after they first did it, and that is when he sort of became a man whore.

Paul was shocked, but he couldn't deny that the person in front of him was his daughter.

He needed to hear the full story, but he already felt a connection to his daughter. She looked she she had been through a lot, and he wanted to take away all of her pain.

As Pheonyx walked through the door everyone was shocked. She looked exactly like Paul. She was also slightly bruised and looked broken but still strong. They all wanted to know her story.

Pheonyx walked through the door and saw a lot of people. She thought that they were his family.

She felt strangely at home here. She felt like she could trust them, and that wasn't easy for her. She just felt like she could spill her guts right then and there. She decided that this was a new start for her, and to have a new start you need a clean slate. The only way to have that was to clear your conscious. She looked at them and knew that they wouldn't laugh at her story, and wouldn't make her feel bad about it. She didn't know how she knew she just did. She felt that they wouldn't push, but she wanted them to know. So she opened her mouth and started pouring her heart out.

AN: Okay for those of you who were with me from the beginning I hope you liked the changes. I basically didn't delve into all the details of her past, so if you're just reading this you didn't miss much. I also changed her name form Pheonyx Cierra Meraz to Pheonyx Skylor Meraz. Those are really the only changes the rest of the story will be the same.

Okay so hope you guys liked it. After this chapter I will start doing individual POV's. This chapter is really vague, but just hang on with me. I will delve into what everyone is thinking. If you didn't like it please tell me what I can do to make it better. I don't have a beta so if there are any errors anywhere just politely let me know and I will change it. Thanks for reading please review. Anonymous reviews accepted, flames, short reviews, and long ones.

Please please REVIEW! Well this is all for now until next time Peace Out (:
