Chapter 1

A/N: Hey guys. This is my first story, so go easy on me please? :D Well, this is in an AU. Pairings go as: Rose/Emmett, Japser/Jessica (An OC I created), Edward/? Alice/Bella. Basically, it starts off when Edward left Bella in New Moon. She comes across a strange creature and strange things revolve around her after her encounter. The action in this story will take a while, as I want to get a decent buildup, but don't worry. It will come with time. This is a girl/girl. There may be explicit scenes in later chapters. I have not decided yet.

A/N 2: I am revising this story, so I have re-uploaded this whole story with revisions, I will start writing this one again as well. I hope you enjoy the revision and the story in general. To any of you that saw that I deleted the previous version, sorry, but replacing all the chapters and getting the information to people about the revision was just harder than re-uploading the entire thing.

If you have favorited/alerted/reviewed on the old story, I encourage you to do the same to this, as the story itself is the same, the formatting, spelling, and grammar were just inproved.

Rated: T for Language. This is subject to change

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or anything like that. If I did, I'd be filthy stinking rich and wouldn't be writing this :D and obviously, Bella would be with Alice, not Edward. This disclaimer applies for every chapter in this story.

He left me. I can't believe that fucker left me. He left me to die in a forest. I hate him for that. Edward. No. I can't even think his name. It disgusts me too much. He left me in the middle of a forest, almost to die. No phone or directions back. I can't believe him. Well. No I can believe it, now that I think about it. What I can't believe is that the rest of the family would leave me, without so much as a goodbye. Did I really mean that little to them? I must if I didn't even deserve a farewell.

I wouldn't have Emmett or Jasper as a big brother anymore. Rosalie wouldn't have to act like he hated me anymore. Jessica wouldn't need to act like she cared. Edward didn't surprise me as much now that I think about it, he was acting more and more reserved but it still hurt. Esme and Carlisle didn't have to act like the parents I thought they were. And then Alice, I really didn't expect this from her. I guess she wouldn't have to put up with me as a best friend anymore.

After I had cried my eyes out, I did all I could think of. I ran, not knowing really where I was going, but anything to get away from the place where he left me. I just couldn't bear it anymore. After I ran as far as my aching legs would carry me, I just sat down on a bolder. I couldn't do anything except think of the people I would probably never see again. Charlie, Renee, Angela, Eric, Ben. All my old friends and then of course, them.

It was nightfall and then I saw something. There were bright yellow eyes staring at me from the darkness. They weren't like the amber color of the Cullens. No, these were a bright piercing yellow, like sparkling gold. I couldn't make out what they were coming from though. Then I saw the body of thing that was staring at me. It was like a large cougar. It's piercing yellow eyes seemed like it was searching for something in me. I suddenly heard something in my head. It was like a hiss, but somehow I could understand it.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my forest?"

"Your forest? I'm sorry, I was dumped here by someone that broke my heart. Please don't eat me."

Those piercing yellow eyes seemed to sympathize with me. Then she, at least I assumed it was a she, did something that startled me. She growled and started to phase into a human.

"There we go. It's much easier to talk to you this way. I'm Cory by the way."

"What the hell? What are you?"

"Now, that's a nice way to start at conversation. Well, to answer your question I'm a shapeshifter. I'm able to transform into a giant cougar essentially. The name of my species is the Aninx. The details are pretty complicated, but there are some really good perks. I love the speed and strength. It's amazing. I can also live forever, essentially. I can die though physical wounds however. But I can live forever if I don't suffer too much damage. I also heal at unnaturally fast rate. There are some other things as well, but they're not really interesting."

"Sounds like vampires if you ask me," I almost whispered to myself, I didn't think she could hear me.

"You know of vampires? How is that?" Cory asked me questioningly

"I used to date one and he broke my heart. He left me in the middle of this forest with no way back. That's why I'm here."

"What! That man is a jerk. I can't believe he left someone as sweet as you in the middle of a forest. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Well. How does someone become like you? I mean, are they born that way, or can you become one like you can with vampires?"

"Um. Are you saying you want to become like me?"

"Well, yes, in a way, your life sounds intriguing, but if you don't feel comfortable with doing it, please don't."

"No, it's not that I mind, it's just surprising. Another thing about my species is that, well, once you're like me, anyone else who is, you'll be able to hear their thoughts and them yours. For this reason, most of us live alone. I mean it gets annoying after a time, living with someone, when you can hear their thoughts as well. There are a few of us, who broke off from the connection, but it is difficult and can drive you mad, so most don't do it."

"Well, I really don't mind it. But are you saying that I would need to live alone?"

"Yes, basically, you would find a portion of forest for you to claim and you defend your part. Some of us make alliances, but not often. I would be willing to make one with you, but you will need live separate from me. Nothing personal, but it will be better for both of us. I'm sorry, I've been spilling my secrets, and I don't even know your name."

"Bella, Bella Swan."

"Bella! I've heard of you, you were dating Edward Cullen weren't you?"

"Yes I was and he broke my heart."

"Oh I'm so sorry. He always seemed like the brooding one in their family."

"Yes he was, how do you know of them."

"I came across them once when they were hunting on my land. They didn't detect me, because I'm all but invisible to other supernatural creatures, but they were strange and I was curious about them. After they left, I followed them and found out what they were, and who you were. You are a strange girl Bella. A human dating a vampire, wanting to become one of them, I find that hard to believe."

"Well, I was tired of being treated like a piece of furniture instead of a person, but now that you know about me. What about you?"

"There's really nothing to say. I was born about 80 years ago, right here in Forks. I was born, Cory Samander. One day I was up camping with my parents. We set out our campsite, and relaxed around a campfire. My father didn't completely put out the fire, and soon the camp was in flames. I don't exactly know what happened, but I do remember choking on the smoke. Then I saw these piercing yellow eyes come out of the flames. I heard in my head, 'Do you want to be saved?' I remember saying yes and the animal bit me on the forearm. See, I have a scar from where it happened."

I looked to her exposed forearm and saw a white line on one side of her arm. I looked at the other side and an almost identical marking on the other side. I recognized that as a bite mark.

"Well, I woke up two days later to find I had changed the camp in ruins, and my parents dead. I mourned, but I was almost curious as to what I was. Well, when I phased for the first time, I heard a voice in my head. He said his name was Josh, and he told me what he was, pretty much what I told you."

"Oh my. Well, Cory I still want to be like you, even after your story"

"You want to become a monster?"

"I don't believe you are a monster. A giant cougar that can kill people, but you don't. I'm sure this is what I want."

"Okay. If you're sure, I will stay with you and protect you until the change is over, but after that, I must leave you."

"Okay, and Cory. Thank you. You've opened up more to me, a total stranger, than Edward -"

I winced when I said his name.

"...ever did."

"I feel a sisterly connection to you Bella. I don't know why or how, but I feel like I need to protect you. Anyways, let's get this over with."

Suddenly I saw Cory transform back to a cougar or Aninx I guess. She approached me slowly with a look in her eyes, seemingly to tell me not to be scared. Her teeth bit down on my forearm. After she let go, I felt a creeping coldness come upon me. I was freezing. It felt like my limbs were going to fall off from being so cold. The last thing I saw was my world going black, as I stared into piercing yellow eyes full on concern.

A/N: Like it? Hate it? Have suggestions? Just review. Now, I'm not a review hound. I don't care if you do or not, but if you decide to, it would be appreciated.

A/N 2: There's my first revision, the plot of the story will stay the same, but I am going to change formatting, and reading through revision grammar and spelling. It was annoying me so much, but it's getting better now
