Chapter One (In between Twilight and New Moon)

The Cullens were walking through the woods searching for the cave that Alice had seen in a Alice said that a girl was hiding,from what they didn't know all Alice knew was that there was a very frighten young girl that had been a vampire for a month and she said they had to help this girl.

So they kept looking untill they finally found the cave and they could sense that someone was inside but who ever it was was trying very hard not to make a sound Alice called out "It's ok,you can trust us we're not going to hurt come out." there was a shuffling sound from within the cave and a young girl around eighteen came out looking very scared she was skinny so much so that you could see her bones but she wasn't small she was big boned and she seemed to be about 5` had long,dark red hair so dark it almost looked black,and blood red was wearing torn blue jeans,a torn black top and black ankle length leather boots.

She looked at each of us one at time when she saw Emmett she started backing up trying to get as far away from him as possible Alice started reassuring her that it was ok,the girl stopped and looked at Alice again.

"What do you want"the girl asked in deep,low voice

"We just want to help you"

"Why"

"Because I saw you,we're supposed to help you"

"You saw me?What are you talking about,I've never seen you before"

"It's compilcated but I have visions and I saw you that's how I knew you were 's your name?"

"Gina"

" Gina,my name is Alice,and this is Jasper,Caslisle,Esme,Rosalie,Emmett and Edward."Alice pointed out each member of the family as she said their names.

"Who's after you?"Edward asked

"How did you know someone was after me?"Gina replied.

Edward half smiled and said "I,can read minds."

she looked blank for a moment then said "Oook... um,there are some guys after me,their trying to kill me because they didn't get it done the first time they tried."Gina said with a bitter voice filled with hatred as the girl started to remember the things they had done to her,Edward growled and Gina looked up at him with a start "I'm,sorry."Edward said "I,didn't mean to startle 'll protect you no one will hurt you again"

"Why would you want to bother with protecting me?You don't even know me."

"Because Alice said that your supposed to become a part of our family and we protect our family."Carlisle said speaking for the first time.

"You don't know what I've done,"

"Actually, I do" Edward said,he was seeing Gina kill a girl around the same age as she was

" I can see everything that your thinking and it wasn't your fault you didn't know want was going on or want you were doing."

"She was so much more than my best friend,she was like my sister and I killed her!" Gina cried covering her face with her hands "I'll never forgive myself for what I did."

"We can help you ."Carlisle said while walking to the girl and putting his arms around her.

"So will you come with us?"Alice asked .The girl looked at them unsure at first then said "Yes"
