A/N: Okay! First chapter is officially re-vamped! The story will go at a slightly slower pace but I plan on doing so much with it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the characters, just my OC!


All I could see was clear blue water, surrounding me. It was like I was drowning, but I could breathe. I swam for hours, never surfacing, until I came close to the shore. I heard many voice, some masculine, others feminine, some funnily enough in-between the extremes. I felt myself begin to surface and realized no one was looking. It made things much easier; almost like I blended in with them. As the air swirled around, delicious scents of humanity filled my lungs, enticing me. I let out a breath and gazed up at the sunny sky. It was perfect here. This, I quickly decided, would be my new home.
I jolted up and looked around, surprise and confusion filling my chest.
"Mom? Bella?" I yelled.
I jumped as my door flung open.
"What is it? What happened?" Mom asked.
I ran over and clung to her, like a child even though I was 16.
"I had a bad dream," I whispered.
"Oh, it's okay sweetie, it was just a dream," she whispered soothingly.
"Are you sure you're okay Nai?" Bella asked.
I nodded and looked to my older sister, who looked extremely worried.
"It's probably just anxiety from the thought of moving," Bella stated, shrugging.
"You know, you're right," I replied, letting a false smile come to my lips.
"Well, today is the flight anyway, make sure you're down stairs in an hour," Mom said.
"Okay," I replied.
I shut my door after them and quickly bounced to my closet picking out my outfit carefully. I finally decided on a tight black sweater with a low v-neck, tight blue jeans, and black Vans. I let my hair down and it curled around my shoulders enticingly. If there was one thing I was vain about, it was my hair and eyes. Together the bright red curls and almost-black orbs made a deadly combination, while the rest of my was pretty plain in my opinion. Medium-olive skin, white teeth and big smile, and curvy body. Plenty of women were smaller than me with my portion of breasts and rear, but my body was solid and very proportional in a slight pear shape.
"If you're done in fantasy land, it's time to go," I heard Bella say.
I turned and grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry, I'm ready," I replied.
We hurried out to the car and rode to the airport in silence. Once we got out, I felt the ball of despair clench in my stomach. I was honestly nervous. I hated flying, especially long distances.
"So are you excited?" Bella asked.
"Of course, I have to make sure my big sister isn't hanging out with hooligans and rifraff," I teased.
She smirked and pushed me slightly.
"I'm sure you'll get along with everyone just fine, especially Edward's sister Alice," she said.
I shrugged and continued onto the plane. I went up and down the aisle's until I found my seat, two in front of her.
"Oh this won't do," I mumbled.
I tapped the older gentlemen in the seat next to mine and smiled as he looked at me.
"Sir, could my sister and I sit in this section? We'd be willing to give her your ticket so you can still seat, it's just, I'm really nervous, I'm a first time flyer," I said honestly, putting on a scared face.
I watched his face contort into confusion then a glazed look came over his eyes.
"Of course! I would never want to keep a family apart! Here, sit, sit!" he ordered.
I thanked him and sat down near the window. Bella sat next to me and grinned.
"I still don't know how you do it," she muttered.
I shrugged but wondered the same myself.
"I'm special, that's all," I murmured, smirking.
She smiled but I sensed something behind it, something hidden.


As we left the airport towards some cars waiting, she pointed to a black volvo.
"And that's Edward's car?" I asked.
She nodded and suddenly red volkswagon pulled up and stopped close to the Volvo.
"Oh, that's dangerous," I muttered.
"That's Jacob," she almost goaned .
Both drivers stepped out at the same time and immediately they were at each others throats, figuratively speaking. We groaned and ran over. I put myself between them as she did, and I glared at them both.
"Stop it, whatever your problem is boys," I demanded.
It seemed like both of them calmed slightly. Bella shot me a confused look. I said nothing but couldn't help looking at Jacob. He was incredible looking. I looked away finally and cleared my throat as I noticed Bella and Edward kissing.
"Okay, well, I think we're all clear to go, eh?" I asked.
Bella turned with a grin.
"Come on, Edward will take us home," she said.
I raised my eyebrow and shot a look at Jacob.
"Oh, sorry, thanks for coming Jacob," she muttered awkwardly.
"Okay, since Bella has momentarily left the building, hi Edward and Jacob, my name is Nai Swan, I'm Bella's adopted sister, it's great to meet you," I said, smirking.
Bella laughed and blushed.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
I waved her off and turned towards Edward.
"So, you're the man who's taking my sis from me, you'd better pass my inspection or there will be trouble," I warned.
He smiled and put out his hand.
"I'm always glad to meet an avid protector of Bella," he replied.
"So, at home, expect some grilling to be done," I said with a big smirk.
Bella went around and climbed in the passenger seat, while I turned to look at Jacob.
"Hey, since you're riding home alone, mind if I ride with you? I have a feeling they're going to be extremely lovey dovey," I asked.
He hesitated but shrugged.
"Sure, you are Bella's sister, I guess I have to be nice," he said, in almost a teasing tone.
I had a feeling I was going to like this guy.
"Just be careful," Bella said.
I nodded and hurried over, scurrying into the car. He got in and I turned to look at him.
"So, you're the other man that loves my sister..." I started.
"Yeah?" he replied.
I tapped my finger to my chin in thought.
"You're much better in the looks department, but how do you treat her?" I asked.
I almost jumped as his loud laughs filling the car.
"Well, I'm pretty sure I treat her good, but since you're here, you'll get to know won't you?"
"True, I'll get a much more accurate idea when you all are in action," I said.
I leaned back and stared out of the window, my thoughts consuming me. Suddenly I felt him tap me.
"Did you hear me?"
"No, what?" I replied.
"When did Bella's family adopt you?"
I couldn't hold back a soft smile.
"When I was 13, they found me on the beach with no memory or family, they immediately took me in," I explained.
"Oh, so you have no clue about your life before then?" he asked, giving me an incredulous look.
I shook my head.
"That's kind of sad," he finally said.
"Yeah, but I have such a great family now, that I don't even try to remember my life before then," I mumbled.
"Bella must be a pretty good sister," he said.
I nodded.
"Although, it's usually me protecting her, not the other way around, she's pretty weak in the body but she's got a sharp mind," I said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I can agree with that, she's also a klutz," he said.
I grinned and looked at him, taking his profile in. Bella really had weird tastes. This man was practically perfect in looks, and he seemed to have an amazing personality.
"What does she see in Edward?" I asked.
His eyes widened slightly.
"How should I know?" he asked me.
I shrugged and looked out as we stopped. I immediately recognized my dad's house from the pictures Bella sent me.
"Thank you for the ride Mr. Jacob, and I hope to get to know you better, maybe I can help set you up with my sister," I said, extending my hand.
He took it and shook it gently, surprising me. I expected him to have a macho grip.
"I don't think that will work at this point, but thank you," he murmured.
I resisted the urge to hug him and jumped out. I don't know what it was that made me feel so attracted to him but I sure wasn't going to make a fool out of myself. I walked up the steps after Bella and Edward, and felt Jacob behind me.
"You're coming?" I asked, confused.
"I'm supposed to tell Charlie something for my dad," he explained.
I nodded and suddenly was pulled inside.
"Nai! How have you been?" Charlie asked.
I hugged him and he patted my back.
"I've been good, glad I'm up here now though," I replied, grinning.
He looked behind me and his smile widened.
"Ah, Jacob, news from Billy?" he asked.
"Yep! This Saturday is the big game and there's a bonfire too, so he wanted to invite you to his place and the girls to come meet everyone at the beach," Jacob said.
"That sounds like a great idea!" Charlie said.
I nodded in agreement.
"It'd be great to have some friends around here," I agreed.
"Alright, see you then," Jacob said, hugging Bella quickly and running out.
"So Edward, are you staying?" Charlie asked, obviously hoping for a no.
"For a little while, if it's alright, I'd like to know Nai a little better," Edward said, smiling.
Charlie's expression was pretty funny as he stared down Edward.
"Fine, but out by eight," he replied.
Edward nodded and Bella led us upstairs.
"Come on, I'll show you to your room," Bella chimed.

I hurried after her and into a beautiful purple-colored room with white lush carpets.

"It's awesome Bella!" I cheered.

"I thought so!" she said happily.

I quickly set my bags down and sat on the bed.

"So, do you plan on marrying Bella?" I asked Edward.

His mouth turned up in a surprised smile.

"Nai, stop it!" Bella scolded.

I rolled my eyes but agreed, laying back on the bed.

"Fine, I'll lay off... for now, expect a surprise attack some time Mr. Cullen," I replied.

"Anyway, I'll stick to less personal questions... where were you born?" I continued.

"Chicago," he replied.

"Interesting, a city boy, so what brought you to Forks?" I asked.

I sat up and stared at him, daring him to lie. I had a sixth sense about those things.

"My parents moved here, wanting to be away from the city," he explained.

"Any siblings?"

"Four adopted brothers and sisters," he answered.

I grinned.

"Can I meet them? I mean, Bella has already right? And since one day they'll probably be my family too, I want to make sure Bella's not getting crazy in-laws," I joked.

His mouth curved in a smile.

"Sure, I'm sure they would like to meet you too, how about tomorrow night?" he asked.

"Really? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Bella asked suddenly.

I looked at her and saw the anxiety in her eyes. Why was she nervous? Did she think I was trying to weasel my way in? Or was his family weird?

'Hmm, curiouser and curiouser,' I thought to myself.

"It's a great idea Bella, she's right, they will be her family too one day," he said.

I saw Bella blush.

"So you're engaged?" I asked.

Bella shrugged but I saw the excitement bubbling beneath her eyes.

"Awesome-sauce!" I cheered.

I jumped up and hugged her.

"Edward, for my consent, you'll really have to impress me, Jacob has a lead in that department so better pick it up," I said, pointing at him.

He chuckled but nodded.

"Of course," he replied.

"Good, now that, that is covered, time for some grub! Come on, I'll go make some tacos or something," I called, running out towards the kitchen, planning my next ambush on the poor boy.
