Prologue
Aro, Marcus, and Caius were sitting in the thrones talking when the subject of the Cullens comes up. It occurred to them that they had no way of know if or when Bella would become a vampire.
"We can't have that...," says Aro thoughtfully. He stands up and begins pacing in front of Marcus and Caius.
"Perhaps we can send in a spy," suggests Caius. This made Aro stop and turn to face Caius.
"What a brilliant idea, Caius!" he says excitedly. "But whom should we send?"
"Perhaps we can send you daughter...she can blend in," says Marcus. Aro turns to Marcus with a smile on his face.
"Yes, my brother, that sounds like a good idea. We can send her to stay with the Cullen family, I trust Carlisle to take good care of her," says Aro. He sits back down in his throne and snaps his fingers calling for Felix. Felix approaches him ready to take his orders. "Go Get Lilith. I need to speak with her." Felix bows and leaves the room. He was back within seconds with Lilith not far behind.
"You called, father?" asks Lilith.
"Lilith, my darling daughter!" says Aro cheerfully. He walks over to Lilith and places his hands on her face before kissing her forehead. He steps back and claps his hands before sitting back down. "I have a mission for you, my dearest one."
"What is it?" asks Lilith.
"I need you to go to the Cullens' house and pay them a visit as their foreign exchange student," says Aro. "You see, I asked that they turn their little human into a vampire, but if they do not, I'll need you to get rid of her. They promised me that it would be soon. I'm giving them until a week after her graduation."
"Yes father," says Lilith.
"Go pack your bags my darling. You'll be on the first plane tomorrow headed to the U.S.," says Aro. Lilith bows and leaves the room. True to his word, Aro had Lilith on a plane headed to Washington in the morning.

Chapter One
It took 12 hours for Lilith to get to Port Angeles in Washington.
When she arrives Alice was waiting with her yellow Porsche. "Lilith!" calls Alice excitedly.
Lilith walks over to Alice somewhat hesitantly. "Yes?" she asks.
"My name is Alice Cullen and from what I saw, you're our new foreign exchange student! I can't wait to take you shopping!" she grabs Lilith's hand and drags her to the Porsche. She puts Lilith's things in the trunk and gets in the driver's seat.
"How did you know I was coming?" asks Lilith. Alice giggles as she speeds down the highway.
"I'm psychic! I saw Aro telling you all about your mission and came to pick you up. No one else knows though," says Alice.
"I don't want to hurt, Bella. I'm only following orders," says Lilith.
"I know. I already saw us having this conversation. So far everything is going to work, out, but sometimes my visions change," says Alice as they arrive in Forks.
"So where are we going?" asks Lilith.
"To see Carlisle. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to have Aro's daughter living in our home," says Alice happily. Alice pulls into a hospital driveway. "Here we are."
"Where are we?" asks Lilith.
"This is the hospital where Carlisle works," says Alice.
"Hospital?" asks Lilith as they get out of the car. It was raining. Lilith seemed shocked by the rain. She looks up at the sky and holds out her hand catching several rain drops. She looks at the water that had pooled in the palm of her hand. "What is this?"
"A hospital is someplace where humans who are sick or injured go to see a doctor like Carlisle. He's a surgeon. As for the water...it's rain/ Get used to it, because you'll be seeing a lot of it," says Alice. She leads Lilith inside to Carlisle's office/ Lilith was looking around at everything as she follows Alice.
"It smells like–" Alice shushes her.
"Don't talk about the smells. It smells like disinfectant...that's all humans can smell about this place," says Alice. She walks into Carlisle's office and sits down in a chair. She motions towards the other seat and Lilith sits down as well.
"He'll come in here in about 37 seconds," says Alice confidently. Lilith gives Alice a puzzled look and begins counting in her head. As soon as she reaches 37 Carlisle walks into the office.
"Hello, Alice. It's not everyday you wander into the hospital. I hope you fed well before you came," says Carlisle as he sits down across his desk from them. He looks at Lilith for a moment before smiling and extending his hand over the desk. "Welcome to Forks, Lilith. I'm surprised and pleased to see the daughter of Aro in my office. The last time I saw you you were still growing."
"It's been a very long time, Carlisle. My father has sent me on a mission," says Lilith.
"I assume that since you are here with Alice that she knows what is going on," says Carlisle.
"She's our new foreign exchange student from Italy!" says Alice happily.
"I'm supposed to keep an eye on Bella. Aro has given me a deadline for Bella's transformation," says Lilith.
"What would this deadline be?" asks Carlisle.
"One week after graduation. What is graduation?" asks Lilith with a puzzled expression.
"Graduation is when you finish school for good," says Alice.
"School?" asks Lilith.
"Okay, so one week after graduation seems...reasonable," says Carlisle.
"How long is that?" asks Lilith. Carlisle looks at his calendar.
"About 9 months from now. School starts Monday. I will get you registered," says Carlisle. Suddenly his fax machine beeps and begins printing. Carlisle takes the papers as they print and glances at each one. "Well, it appears that Aro has faxed over all of the proper paper work for you to start school. He has also sent a message telling to check my mailbox when I get home."
"Why?" asks Lilith.
"He probably sent you some money or something," says Carlisle as he places the papers in a folder.
"I'll have to take you clothes shopping!" says Alice suddenly.
"But I have clothes," says Lilith.
"Not enough!" screeches Alice scaring Lilith.
"Why not?" asks Lilith a little scared of Alice.
"Alice enjoys shopping. You'll find out soon enough," says Carlisle. Lilith nods, but doesn't say anything. "Alice, why don't you take Lilith to our home and help her get settled in somewhere," says Carlisle.
"Where are we going to put her? I don't think Edward will be willing to share with her," says Alice.
"Work something out. Perhaps she can share your room with you and Jasper can stay with Edward," suggests Carlisle.
"Okay," says Alice happily. She leads Lilith out of the hospital. When they get home Alice leads Lilith inside where everyone was sitting around the living room. Emmett and Jasper were playing the Wii while Esme and Rosalie were discussing something in a magazine and Edward was playing his piano. Overall it was a relaxing atmosphere.
"Hey everyone!" says Alice cheerfully as she walks into the room with Lilith behind her. "I'd like you to meet Lilith Volturi..." Everyone immediately looks up at the name. "She's our foreign exchange student!" Suddenly Edward hisses and begins stalking towards Lilith.
"She's here to spy on us! " he snarls.
"What?" asks Esme looking at Lilith.
"No, not spy on you!" says Lilith quickly. "My father has told me of your plans to change Bella. He would like me to make sure that it happens." Edward hisses.
"You won't lay a hand on her!" he snarls.
"Of course not! I don't want to kill her! I'm only following orders though. You have 9 months, that should be plenty of time!" insists Lilith.
"He's given us until a week after graduation," hisses Edward.
"That was already the plan though," says Esme. Edward looks at Esme thoughtfully for a moment.
"Fine," he sighs. "I should call Bella. She should know what's going on." He walks out of the room with his cell phone in his hand.
"While we're waiting for her...Jasper, you and Edward are going to be roomies for a while," says Alice suddenly.
"What do you mean?" asks Jasper standing up and walking over to them.
"Carlisle suggested that Lilith and I share a room, so you get to live with Edward," says Alice cheerfully. Edward comes back in.
"I suppose I can live with that..." says Edward cautiously.
"Jasper will be on his best behavior, Edward," says Alice happily. Soon Bella shows up in her truck. When she comes in she looked worried until she sees Edward and goes to his side.
"What's going on?" asks Bella looking at Lilith.
"My name is Lilith Volturi. My father is Aro and he has sent me on a mission to watch you," says Lilith.
"Watch me?" asks Bella cautiously.
"Okay, not watch you...but I'm here to make sure you become a vampire by a week after you graduate," says Lilith. Bella stares at Lilith for a moment before grinning.
"I think this is the best idea Aro has ever had," says Bella happily.
"Bella..." groans Edward pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Now you have no choice but to give me what I want," say Bella happily. She looks at Lilith and smiles.
"Wanna hang out?" asks Bella.
"Hang out?" asks Lilith a little confused.
"Yeah. I was going to go to La Push, but the Edward called me and told me I had to rush over here...so do you want to go to La Push and meet Jacob?"
"Umm...okay. As long as I don't have to go shopping with Alice...I don't know what it means, but it doesn't sound very fun..." says Lilith slowly.
"Hey!" complains Alice.
"It's not," says Bella. She kisses Edward's cheek and walks towards the door."Bye Edward, I'll be back soon. Come on, Lilith." She leaves and goes to her truck. Lilith follows her.

A/N: Thanks for reading chapter one and the prologue of our new story: Jacob's Imprint.
Some of you might recognize me as vampiressbella2009 and my friend is belongs to the night. We're writing this together and posting it on this profile. Okay, so we need to explain something...Lilith is not stupid by any means. She's spent her whole life living with the volturi and hasn't left that place so she's never seen rain and she has no idea what anything is. As for her last name...I read a fanfic and they used volturi as Aro's last name...this could be wrong, but I'm not sure, so I'm going with it...anyhoo...we hope that you enjoy this fanfic and give us lots of reviews! Please and thank you!
P.S. before anyone comes after me, I promise that I will be working on my stories again! =] -vampiressbella2009-
