a/n READ! The name of this story is a song by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I figured out this plan before Breaking Dawn came out, so there are no characters from BD, but Bella IS now a vampire.

Disclaimer: The Cullens and most other characters in this story, as well as this type of vampire, aren't mine, not even the name of the story is original…it's a song name!

Face Down

I sighed. I was changed years ago, but the vampire that changed me was killed, and I've been traveling alone for years. I'm Mary Anne. A thirty-five year old vampire, who's only known family is herself. I don't know many vampires, just the few that told me what I am.

What am I going to do? I have no idea.

I pulled out a picture of my aunt. My only aunt or uncle on my moms side, and she was sent to an insane asylum when she was young, for having visions. My mom, Cynthia, was told that my aunt had never existed, or to pretend that, but Cynthia loved her sister, Mary Alice. She named me after her, just changed my middle name to Anne, instead of Alice.

The girl staring back at me looked a bit like me, blue eyes, the exact, light, clear, color as mine. Her hair was really long, shiny, and black. Mom said that back when insane asylums were aloud, they would use electro-shock therapy, and that meant shaving the patients head, and that had made me sort of depressed, knowing that Mary Alice's favorite part about herself, according to Mom, was gone when she died.

Mom only knew that my aunt had died because, after grandma and grandpa died, shortly before I was born, she went to the asylum, and they told her that Mary Alice was dead, and had been since she would have been about 18.

The long hair was like mine, when I was young, but I had cut it to be shoulder length before I had been changed. The blue eyes were like mine, from before, as well. I often wished that I could cry when thinking about Mary Alice. Her tale was so tragic.

They didn't have to kill Aunt Mary Alice! I know for a fact that they used to starve the patients, giving them a small bun every day, and only that. Not only that, but they had stuck her in a small room, pitch black, with nothing in it, not even a floor. All she did was sit there, then, get electro-shock therapy, her bun, then nothing again.

I told my self to stop thinking about it, and realized that it was storming, badly. I listened, and waited to see if I could here any vampire baseball games being played.

The crash of thunder came, and with it, a second crash, a lot like thunder. Vampires were playing baseball.

I listened, finding my way there by sound. When I started to get really close, the sound stopped, but I knew where they were now anyway. I could easily make my way there, and I did.

I slid through some trees, bare feet muddied from all the running I've been doing, and looked around, at all of the vampires.

There were four male and four female vampires. One of the males looked to be older than the rest, 23 or so, unlike the others, who all looked to be around 17 or 18. He had blond hair, the average pale skin for a vampire, a structure that wasn't very well built, but still built. Another one of the males had curly hair, but it was blond like the other, older one. He was tall, sort of lanky, and pretty well built, but not as well as the third. The third had really short hair, brown, and was extremely built up. The last looked to be the youngest. He had messy, yet cute, bronze hair, a color I've never seen before, and though he didn't look as old as the others, he was still built pretty well.

The females all looked to be mates of the males. The one that I think is the mate with the oldest male looked about his age, and had lovely caramel hair. The one with the very well built male was extravagantly beautiful, even more so than any other vampires I've seen. She had long, blond hair, sort of wavy. The one that seemed to meet with the youngest had a lovely, heart-shaped face, her skin seemed to be even more pale, and translucent, as the others, and her eyes were big, and lovely. Her hair was long, and mahogany colored. She had a slim body, but you could tell as a human, it was probably soft too. The other female had short, black hair, the exact shade as mine, and was extremely slim and short, like she was starved as a human. Her eyes were bright and big.

They had something different about them, though. As I looked closer, I saw what it was. They all had gold, or topaz, eyes. Not red or black.

I looked over all of them again, but the one that struck me as if I needed to look at her more was the small, black-haired, one.

I looked at her again, trying to concentrate, and realized. Her face looked like the face of the girl in my picture, yet older. Like Mary Alice.

She was the only one to move as I stared at them. She walked toward me, slowly, and when she was about a yard away from me, she stopped.

"Mary Anne?"

a/n what do you think? That was longer than I expected it to be…awesome! Hopefully the rest can be this long or longer too…but I doubt it…please review! I want to know what you all think of it!
