CHAPTER 1

Hi, I'm Eleanor Hartwell. I am 16 years old and a half; I'll turn 17 by December. I have long brown hair and brown eyes. I am somewhat pale, and I am about 5'5" tall. I like to bake pastry so basically I'm a patissier, a person who loves to make pastry. It's my dream to run the most famous pastry building I would own.

I belong in a family of five. There was my baby brother, Arthur; he's around a year and 2 months old. He's fairly tall for his age. Then there was, Colleen; she's about 8 years old and she's a Native American and from which Indian culture she's in we have no idea. Next, there's Edwin; he's 14 years old.

And then there's Atticus, our father. We call him Atticus, but of course Arthur calls him 'dada'.

He's also a vampire.

Anyways, I was Atticus first adopted daughter. You see, my parents were attacked by a vampire coven. Atticus saved me form that coven; it was him against 4 and he won due to his strength. And I was only 2 years old when that happened. Atticus took me in with his travels and along the way, we just happened to pick up more orphans.

Atticus found Edwin 4 years later. I was 6 years old and Edwin that time was 3 years old. We were in Ohio when there was a major flood. Of course, we were okay but Edwin's family were not; they didn't survive the flood since they weren't able to leave the house as fast they should. Edwin lost his parents, and he had no other relatives to live with since none would take him. They all say that he was possessed or something. I say, he just has a gift. Atticus took him in, and he became my brother.

4 years later, we happened to meet with Colleen. We were hiking in the mountains in Montana when Atticus caught her scent. He took her in and handed her to the authorities, but nobody reported a missing baby. Knowing that the baby was abandoned, Atticus took Colleen in. Now we were a family of four.

That is until recently about a year ago, Arthur appeared on our doorstep. Atticus did the same thing as he took Arthur to the authorities, and it seems no one reported it. So with compassion he took Arthur in too. I think the family is just getting bigger and bigger...

But hopefully, a family of five is enough for us. There are two girls and two boys, with Atticus. Pretty even.

Anyhow, we were a Bakery family business so we make a lot of pastries. That's why my dream is to be a patissier; Atticus inspired it. I liked how people looked so happy after tasting one of his cream puffs. I have to say, his cream puffs are the best in the world and no man alive would be able to top his.

Although, we always tend to move everywhere now and then. Right now, we just recently moved. We're in Forks right now and we live in a Bakery. The ground floor is where we sell the pastry while the 2nd floor is constructed like a small home. We have to share rooms. Edwin gets his own room until Arthur is maybe 2 years old, and then they'll share a room together. Right now, I'm sharing a room with Colleen and we both get along well.

Both Edwin and Colleen knows what Atticus is. They were pretty psyched about it, as I was too.

Right now, it's 8 in the morning and Atticus had just opened the Bakery. We're located at the border between La Push, an Indian Reservation, and Forks, the town of a utensil.

I was planning to go out and take a jog. And so I asked, "Atticus, is it alright if I go out to the beach?"

He nodded to me. "Go right ahead, Eleanor. I can manage by myself"

"Thanks, Atticus!" I thanked him as I start heading out.

"Wait, Eleanor!" he called me back. "You don't mind taking the kids with you?"

I whirled around to face him and scowled, but then he gave me this sad frown. Ughh...

"Okay Atticus, I'll take them," I said reluctantly as I called out to my siblings. "Colleen! Edwin! I'm heading down to the beach"

"Oooh! I wanna come!" I hear sister squeal as she came skipping down the stairs, followed by Edwin slowly. "I'm coming" he said.

I look at Atticus as he was playing with Arthur. Arthur started walking just a week ago, and I guess Atticus is still proud of it. I asked him, "you want me to take Arthur"

"No, that's alright Eleanor," he said as he stood up from his kneeling position. "Arthur and I can handle the shop. You three go have fun."

"Alright then," I said as I took the car keys from the counter.

Edwin looked at me eagerly, "Hey, sis! Can I drive?"

I looked at him incredulously. "You? Drive my car?" He looked at me hopefully. "No."

His face feel as I head outside to the parking lot. There's a 2005 BMW X5. Really, a car of its beauty. Atticus had an older one, but it looks mostly brand new. A 1985 Mercedes Benz.

I some times ride the Mercedes but mostly, I take the van sine I always have to bring my siblings with me.

"I call shotgun!" Edwin shouted.

"No!" Colleen protested. "I want shotgun!"

"You're too inevitably small, squirt!"

"He's right, Colleen," I intervened. "You still need to sit on the booster seat and if I let you get in front, Atticus will skin me" Well not really, he never had spank us ever.

"Skin you?" Colleen repeated. "He'd never skin a bee before, let alone he'd ever skin you"

"Nevertheless!" Edwin interrupted with a smug smile on his face. "Sis and I are the oldest, Cole, so you need to stay in the back"

"Not fair!" she screamed, and I quickly reprimanded them before Cole would even dare throw a fit.

"Now listen you two, if you both are still going to delay this ride then I'll put you both in the backseats with no movie to watch! Edwin, you need to stop making your sister jealous and Colleen, you're still a little girl. Law says that you need to stay in the backseat with a booster until you don't need it anymore. Are we clear?"

"Yeah sis..." "Okay..."

I frowned at them and told them, "Cole, backseat. Ed, front. Now let's get going"

They did as they were told as I got into the driver's seat. Geez, I swear I feel like a mom.

And so the drive to La Push beach begun. Throughout the ride, Colleen watched Kung Fu Panda as she and Edwin started a conversation.

"I think Atticus could beat Tai-lung in one hit!" Colleen claimed, looking for an argument actually.

Edwin, knows that Atticus would beat Tai-lung, gives his sister the satisfactory to argue. So he plays along, "You know I know that Atticus is a vampire and all, but did you see Tai-lung?"

"Yeah," she said and remarked, "and then he got beat by a big fat panda!"

I chuckled at her remark and re-corrected her, "You mean thee big fat panda"

"Oh yeah"

We all laughed together at our silliness.

Usually for fun, our games are mostly the use of words, arguments, intelligence, and sarcastic remarks just like now, even Atticus joins in the fun. Rules are do not get stick with um, uh, or any one-word answer.

"Can thee big fat panda beat Atticus?" Edwin asked as he turned his head to face his sister.

"Umm..." Colleen could not form any sentence for she could not choose between her adoptive father and her recently favorite hero.

"Ha! You're stuck with an Um!"

"I am not!"

"You're in denial! Just like with Nick Jonas-"

"You shut your mouth, pea-brain-"

"Oh, I know you're dying to say something else, my little sister-"

"You flabbergasted, platypus-face-"

"Tomboyish ugly kid, unfit for a girl-"

"Hairy figure with no manhood-"

"Hush!" I yelled. "No harassing insults, please. Keep it general."

...

"Tomboy"

"Platypus"

I sighed and muttered a sarcastic comment, "Much, much better..."

You see? Only the use of words and never the use of violence. We use violence if provoked almost too much of the extreme.

Finally, as if it almost seemed like it would never end, we were at the beach. I parked the car offside the road on the white sand, and almost immediately, Colleen got off the car followed by Edwin almost a little sluggishly.

I took the key off the ignition, got out, and remotely locked the car. I hear Colleen from a far-off distance and I see her running around on the sand. She took off her sandals and went straight to the water to get her feet wet.

I cautioned her. "Cole! Don't get wet too much!"

"I won't, sis!" she called back.

I hear Edwin snort next to me and said, "In the terms of the most predictable she probably would"

I rolled my eyes at him and gave him a look. He look at me and said, "Okay, I know it's not nice, but it is the truth... she will eventually-"

"AAHH!" I hear Colleen scream and I see that she had fell unto the wet sand at the time the tide flow into the sandy shore.

I sighed and Edwin backtracked his sentence while rephrasing one word, "Excuse me, she will soon fall..."

"Get the towel from the trunk Ed," I ordered him and tossed him the keys as I ran over to Colleen who was getting up, sniffling and shivering. Below the half upper-part of her chest she was all wet and covered with sand. I took her sandals and led her back to the car, where Edwin is holding a towel.

Colleen took the towel with a thankful nod as I examined her and the weather. She would get a cold, if she stayed wet too long in this cold windy weather. "We should get you some clothes" More of a factual statement than a suggestion.

"I saw a clothing store when we stopped at Bird Road," Edwin said and I took the information.

"Well, let's go," I said and Colleen didn't say anything but letting out more sniffles as she got inside the car silently. Edwin went to his shotgun seat and I went to the driver's seat.

I put the key in ignition and Edwin decided to cheer his sister up. "Cole, it'll be fine, you won't get in trouble with Atticus. He would tell you to be careful, which I highly doubt you will next time. Plus, you could get that stain of pretty easily"

I look at him. "Stain?"

"She tripped over something and somehow landed on something gooey...I don't know what it is..." was his reply.

"How do you know that?" Colleen asked. "You weren't even looking"

"Oh, I just know things," he said. He does know things in a strange sort of way. It's as if he always know what we're thinking, but we're used to it by now. Though, he still has no idea what Atticus thoughts are. Somehow, he just couldn't read our father. Atticus was always unpredictable and predictable.

I drove for a while until Edwin pointed out. "Over there, sis"

To my left, there's a small clothing store. I parked my car off the side of the road and got out of the car. I told them, "You two stay here while I go buy her some clothes. You both can talk, watch movie, or listen to music but nothing else."

"Yeah..." Collen replied and just before I close the door, Edwin added, "Mom"

I stopped midway from closing the door, but I shrugged and just close it, not wanting to bother with his sarcastic remarks.

I went into the small cabin store and all of it were casual clothing. I guess these are okay...

I went over to the small kids section to look for Colleen's shirt. It was sort of peaceful searching for a shirt, not like those crowded super malls where they always talk, talk, and talk. All there was an old radio playing country. But then the store's door opened a little roughly, and I could feel a pair of giant footsteps walking in.

"Hey Quil, why are we doing here-"

"I saw this really cool shirt and I'd like Claire to have it"

I sighed silently, disappointed that the peace ended sooner than I suspected.I turned my back around them and concentrate on getting Colleen's clothes. I managed to find one and a pair of shorts.

I took them and started going over to the cash register when suddenly the two big shirtless blokes got in front of me. I was a bit pissed off.

"Excuse me!" I piped in and one of them turned to me. I smiled politely, "is it okay if I go first? My little sister is soak and wet and I need to get her these clothes quick"

"Uh sure, no problem," he said then the other guy turned to him with a 'what' look.

"What? Oh come on Quil," he groaned. "We're in a hurry and she..." He trailed off when he looked at me.

He was sorta hot and handsome. He was a tall native man, his body built for running, and his eyes were deep brown. I found myself being lost in his eyes as they stare at me with great adoration...

"Whoa..." 'Quil' said and I shook away form the stare. I pretend to get annoyed and urged this guy to finish his sentence, "We're in a hurry and she...?"

"Uhh," he stuttered for a bit before he finally answered, "We're in a hurry, and she is probably in a hurry too" Before I knew it, he already shoved me in front of the cash register with an amused looking old lady.

I smiled at her before glancing back to the two boys strangely. They were both grinning mischievously. What the hell?

I shrugged it off as I paid for the clothes, and started heading out in a hurry.

But some one had to stop me

"Hey, please wait!" I stopped and turned around to face the guy who stared at me so strangely.

"Hi, I'm Embry Call," he introduced himself. I raised my eyebrow at him, but I couldn't bring up the courage to be mean to him, so I introduced myself politely, "and I'm Eleanor Hartwell..."

"Eleanor..." he repeated and it sent shivers down to my spine. I didn't let it show and I asked him, "What?"

"Oh nothing..." he said. "It's just a nice name"

I blushed and replied a silent, "thank you..."

A sudden beep from the car shook me to fright as I look back to see Edwin shaking fist and pointing back unto the driver's seat. He wants me to hurry up.

I turned back to Embry and said, "I gotta go"

"No, wait!" he told me and I stopped again. "May I have your phone number?"

"Umm..." I was hesitant. I didn't have my new cellphone yet, nor did I know our new homephone number yet, instead out of the strange feeling in my heart I answered, "I don't have a phone number yet, but I live in the new bakery just right outside the borders of La Push."

His eyes reflected realization, "That new bakery store? The Mockingbird?"

I giggled, "Yeah"

Another horn from the car, and we both turned to see Edwin and Colleen making kissy faces at me. I fumed and Embry looked away blushing a bit, nervously chuckling. I glanced back to him and said again, "I gotta go, come at anytime"

Quickly as I could I walk straight to the car and opened the car door; Edwin and Colleen were back in their palces acting innocently. I attacked them.

"You little insubordinate, aggravating, moronic, slimy little monsters!" I said and they were a bit silent before Edwin laughed and said, "you said little twice"

"You shut your trap, boy!" I said and he kept his mouth shut. "When we get back home, I swear you're both doing my chores!"

I didn't hear any protesting instead Colleen said, "Ahh well... it was worth it"

I sighed again, letting the frustration out as I start driving the car back home and tossing Colleen her clothes. "Here."

"So..." Edwin started but I cut him off, "Don't even start"

"Awe, come on," he said. "I wanna know the guy's name"

"I thought you know everything" I started to say and then Colleen answered, "his name is Embry, huh?"

I was silent and both Edwin and Colleen laughed. I always hated how Colleen could tell what we're saying; she was good at reading how people's mouths move and know what they're saying.

"Embry who, Cole?"

"Embry Call me"

They both laughed so hard at their minor jokes, but somehow it just pissed me off even more.

"Shut up!" was my concise command and they did, but they still wore the amused expressions. I guess I was mad that I didn't have a phone, but at least he knows where I live. I smiled at that.

"You told him where you live, instead of the phone number, huh?" Edwin smirked and I reached over to whack him.

"Ow!"

"Now, be quiet!" I said and thankfully, they both stopped bugging me.

After what seemed like another endless drive, we finally arrived at the parking lot. Colleen jumped out of the car so fast as she ran into the bakery, I can hear her yelling, "ELLA HAS A BOYFRIEND NAMED EMBRY CALL ME"

Edwin got out of the car and started laughing all the way to the bakery. I groaned annoyingly as I got out of the car, locking it before going inside.

"Eleanor has a boy friend? Embry Call Me?" Atticus asked as he was currently feeding the baby and talking with a customer at the same time.

"That's right, dad! Embry Call me!"

"Strange name..." Atticus eyed at me, but I continue to glare at Cole.

"You should have seen it, Atticus," Edwin said. "That guy was really desperate and she's hooked-" THWACK! "Ow!"

Colleen points. "Haha-" THWACK! "Ow!"

They shut their mouths and I was satisfied. Little Arthur burst into a giggling fit, always loved the scene to his older siblings getting hit by me.

Atticus chuckled as I pass by to get a drink of water.

"Here you go, ma'am," he said as he gave the lady her change.

"Are these all your children?"

"Yes ma'am"

"And you're taking care of them all alone?" she asked incredulously. "No mother?"

"None, ma'am," he said and he handed her the white bag with the pastries she bought. "Now, have a nice day, ma'am"

The lady bid goodbye and started heading out. I look back to Atticus and said, "I'll be in the kitchen, Atticus"

"Alright, Eleanor"

I head into the kitchen and started cooking lunch. I try so hard not to think of him, but Embry Call was hook with me...

I chuckled. I have to admit, Embry Call me is a funny name...

Embry's POV

I was running with Jacob and Seth, and I was telling them about my imprint.

Whoa, she looks pretty Seth said. Good catch

I'm glad you imprinted, Embry Jacob said. Now you'll finally understand what it's like to have some in your mind 24/7

Yeah no kidding...

So where does she live?

The new bakery, Mockingbird

Mockingbird!? Seth was shocked. Seriously!? Dude, I hear that they have the most delicious pastries in the world. The thing is it's so rare to get their product! They'd always move around once a year or so!

How you know that, Seth?

Yeah, how you know that?

Okay, when I was little, like 6 or 7 they moved in Seattle! And like, there were so many customers, and they were so busy! There so many orders and they had a 5 turck loads of them. But they're always relocating and the paparazzi have to track them down every time they move.

What's his father look like?

Don't know, he hides himself when there are too many people, and the paparazzi never got a picture of him. He's good at escaping.

Sounds like some-

My thoughts broke off when the wind carried the all too familiar scent. Vampire.

We both ran to the direction, and my fears were confirmed; it was coming from the Mockingbird. I panicked. Didn't she say she lived there?

I see a familiar little girl running out of the house and I see Eleanor chasing after her. "Colleen Maya Hartwell! You better give that back!"

"Nu-uh!" she said. "Not unless you admit you like that guy!"

I growled and anger came to me. What guy?

"Colleen!!"

"Come on, sis!"

"Alright, alright! I love Embry Call! Now give it back!"

I blushed. Oh...she was talking about me... I hear Jake snicker behind me, but ignore them. I then remind him of the vampire and he stop his snickering and concentrate.

I watch Colleen going over to Eleanor handing back a box that looked like a cell-phone from Cingular. Ohhh...that's why she didn't give me her phone number; she doesn't have any then until now.

Eleanor took the box and pointed to the bakery, "Laundry. Now"

"Okay, okay," Colleen said and she said, "you know...I didn't say 'admit you love the guy'...I said 'admit you like that guy'...AAH!" Eleanor missed grabbing her little sister as the little tike dodged and started running and laughing.

Eleanor shook her head and the door opened. The scent came to us and I growled. There was the leech.

"Eleanor! Colleen!" how the hell does he know her name?

I hear Seth growl too and Jake and I look at him. We look at his mind and...

Oh, he imprinted on the little girl.

"Yes Atticus?" the girls called back as Jake and I turned our attention back unto them.

"I need help in the kitchen," the monster said. "Arthur needs to change his diaper" They have a baby in there?!

"We'll be right there, Atticus!"

"Dad!" Wait, dad?!??! "Dad, what if Eleanor whacks me again?!"

We hear the leech chuckle and he said, "Well, you shouldn't have mess with your sister, but she won't do it now"

"Atticus!" we hear her whine.

We hear another voice form the inside, and I'm guessing it's the brother. "Yeah, Cole! But she'll do it later!"

I hear Eleanor's musical laughter as she went back inside the bakery with the leech and Colleen after them.

All three of us were silent until Jake said, I need to ask the Cullens about this. They never said anything about any vampire moving in Forks.

Seth whined, worrying about Colleen, and I too worried about Eleanor.

Embry, you can stay and guard the humans. Seth, I need you to go get Sam and the others while I go get the Cullens

But...but...

Seth, they'll be alright, Embry will watch guard

You can count on me.

Okay... Seth left reluctantly and Jacob goes off on his own too.

I stand on guard behind the leafy bush and hoping that Eleanor was going to be alright.

...Colleen called that leech Dad...does that mean that that leech is Eleanor's father too?

Hey! I have been rewriting this fanfic over and over just to get it right and finally, I was satisfied with this chapter.

Please wait for the next chapter and until then, please review!
