DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Twilight books only my characters and their stories.
We can build ourselves up as much as we like. It's when the penny drops we're stripped apart. Sometimes it can feel as if we are all enclosed in a tiny bubble only venturing out on occasions. My kind doesn't mix with the umm… normal people. It's the general rule. If we keep inconspicuous nothing will happen and if nothing happens then it's all love, kisses and happy endings. Plus certain people don't find out the secret my family has been hiding for the past 16 years.
My father Carlisle found me when I was a baby, abandoned on the side of the road. After taking me to the hospital I was checked in with the social services and the kind Doctors and Nurses at the London Bridge Hospital took care of me till I could be placed in a home. Unfortunately it wasn't just my abandoned state that was the most peculiar thing about me. You would think being found a day old, bloody and hungry on the highway would be the stand out. But I suppose ageing faster than your suppose to kind of overrides that factor. By chance Carlisle had taken to looking in on me and found the abnormality before any other research could be done.
I suppose that's the gist of it for now. The rest is fairly self explanatory. Esme became my mother and the rest of our family became my brothers and sisters. You'd think Alice would have seen me coming. Life was good, we moved to the states so that Carlisle and Jasper could further their research under the Volturi's radar.
It wasn't until my fourth birthday that we realised something else made me more of a freak. I could change my looks. At this point I looked like a 13 year old, so in true teenage fashion waking up with purple hair deserved an overreaction. That's how we've hidden the truth of what I am. Whenever Alice saw a visitor I'd hide my heart beat and change my skin.
My mother always says "if the grass is greener on the other side, you should look into watering yours more". I'm getting there though; our latest move to Forks has been sort of a plus. The only complication so far was an excursion to La Push. Thankfully since I'm not a vampire, well full vampire and pose no threat I was allowed on the land. This is where the story of Lilliana Margret Cullen begins. This is my story of when I truly started living.
