Chapter 1- The Beginning

This tale begins with a young girl of about 16 her name is Anastasia, she was the apple of her parents' eyes. But that all changed when the death of her parents came. Luckily she was no where near when the accident happened. The only way the police and medical examiner could explain it as was it was an animal attack, either a bear or something about as big.

Yeah right, Ana thought while sitting on the plane to her new home, a bear or something of that size in the middle of London!

It was almost impossible but unable to argue with the police or the medical examiner she shrugged off the how of that night and concentrated on the death of her parents. Hopefully by the looks of their corpses they didn't suffer.

The funeral wasn't much better, everyone hew knew or claimed they knew her parents came up to give her their condolences. After the funeral was much worse. Ana was sent to an orphanage in London to live until someone adopted her or until she got into the foster child program.

Thankfully someone adopted her before any of the things she'd read in books and seen in movies that happened in orphanages happened. Plus there were no dance scenes.

So this is how she landed herself on a plane to Seattle, Washington, then once there she would be riding to the Olympic Peninsula to a small town called Forks. Ana did some research about this place, #1 it was one of the wettest places on earth, #2 some native Americans that lived around there had legends about themselves and a so called "cold one".

Even better, Ana thought while looking at her laptop screen, Crazy legends about the place.

She continued typing into her computerized journal until the plane landed.

Ana looked around where she was sitting. To her right was the man who adopted her, he looked to be about 23 maybe older; he was a doctor but he looked like one from one of the soap operas she watched back home. His name was Carlisle. Then on her right was the woman he called his wife. She was very pretty; she was currently sketching the interior of a room and figuring out some designs. Her name was Esme. Then across the aisle were three others. The one closest to her a man with reddish brown hair and he was holding the hand of the girl beside him and the girl of the girl beside her. He was called Edward.

This family is just plain strange, she commented in her head when the man looked up at her, met her gaze, and smiled.

When he looked back to the girl on his far right, Ana shifted her gaze to the girl next to him. She had the color hair as him but it was very curly, she had a blush to her cheeks unlike the rest of the family. Her name was Renesmee but almost everyone called her Nessie, like the Loch Ness Monster. Next Ana's gaze rested on the other girl Edward was holding hands with. She had long brown hair and it curled toward the end, her eyes constantly shifted from Nessie to Edward and back again. She like the others was beautiful. From what she understood her name was Bella. But occasionally she swore she heard Renesmee call her mom.

Shaking her head with frustration Ana moved to the seat in front of herself and her new parents. The one directly in front of her was fairly shorter then the rest and had short brown spiky hair, she was nice and was usually always whispering to the man beside her. Everyone called her Alice…except Edward; he called her his little pain. Then the man Alice whispered to almost always had a slight pained look on his face. Occasionally he looked back at her and tried giving her a small smile but never really succeeded. Jasper was his name, or from what she could gather that was his name.

Last came the couple across from Alice and Jasper. The one by the aisle was extremely tall and bulky he always seemed to have a comment to give Bella just to frustrate her more. He always was joking around with her and Edward. She learned his name at the airport in London from Bella, "Oh shut up about Nessie's sex life Emmett! I really don't care if she's having sex with Jacob!" So now Anastasia knew him as Emmett. Then came the blonde beside him, she was constantly either arguing with him or looking at herself in the mirror. From what she had understood her name was Rosalie.

This was her new family, The Cullens. To her and probably to everyone else she looked oddly out of place with a family like this. They were al beautiful, even though all of them were adopted. Anastasia sighed and turned back to her laptop as the pilot announced the descent toward Seattle.

New home, new life, new family, yay, She thought sarcastically while she closed her eyes. She never liked riding in planes; the only part she hated was descending.

Once on the hard solid ground Anastasia had to find her luggage in the luggage carousel. Oh how she hated this infernal contraption. Thankfully thought for her 16th birthday her mother bought her white luggage with pink, purple, green, and orange polka dots on it. When she saw it she made a grab for it but someone beat her to it.

"Hey!" she half shouted looking over where the hand and her luggage disappeared to. Looking up she noticed it was Jasper who snatched her luggage from the carousel.

"Oh….sorry," she said taking her luggage from him.

"You know if there's anything wrong you are allowed to come to us, after all you're part of the family now," he said quietly grabbing his and Alice's luggage as well.

"Yes well, my family died, they were murdered by a monster," she said an anger ringing in her voice and a hate toward the Cullens came out and all Jasper did was wince and walk away.

Anastasia pulled the handle out of her suitcase and started walking toward Esme and Carlisle but before she got there Edward grabbed her arm and pulled her aside. "What did you say to Jasper?" He asked heatedly.

"I told him my family died, they were murdered by a monster," she hissed right back glaring at him. "And right now I'd rather not talk about anything."

"He was trying to help you."

"I don't want help," Anastasia said before turning away from him and beginning to walk back toward Carlisle and Esme.

If this family is very touchy feely I'm going to die, Ana thought, and before reaching her new parents she heard a chuckle from behind her.
