Bella POV...

All I hear all day long is growling, screaming, and yelling. All I smell is the sweet smoke that I have come to fear. All I see is four walls and fighting. All I feel is scared, trapped, alone - even though Im stuck in a room with at least 15 other - and thirsty. Yes, very thirsty indeed.

My name is Bella and I am a vampire. I have been since Maria forced me into this dreaded life. I hate her for destroying my life. I had a loving mother and her husband. Then there was Charlie, my dad. I can't picture their faces anymore. I miss them so much. But I can never see them again, all because Maria knew what I could do as a vampire. Now I am a shield. Sworn to protect the army. Maria's voice pulled my form my silent suffering.

Edward POV...

What should I do about these curtains? What oufit should I wear tomorrow? I need to get to the hospital. I am the most beautiful vampire ever. I wonder if Jasper will wrestle with me. I know Emmett is gonna ask for a rematch, I wonder if Alice wants to go shopping.

This is all is hear all day long. Other people's thoughts. I never have peace and quite inside my mind anymore. Anymore? What am I saying its been over 100 years! I should be used to this by now. I am a vampire and my name is Edward. As far as I know I am the lonest vampire in the world. Even though my family is around to keep me company.

Alice, my sister, is the perkiest person you could ever meet. She can also see the future, based on what people decide. Jasper, my brother, is Alice's mate and he is still head over heels for her. Probably because he enjoys her happiness over my loneyness. Rosalie, my other sister, is, well, she is very pigheaded. But dont tell her I said that. Emmett, my other brother, acts like he is still a little kid sometimes. He is also the most intimadating looking teddy bear you will ever lay your eyes on. He absolutly adores Rosalie. Esme and Carlisle are the best parent every kid wants. Esme is kind and gentle, as every mother should be. Carlisle is calm, cool, collected, and compassionate.

Just then Alice's thoughts pulled me from my own.
