Ok, I know I haven´t finish Rebirth yet and i´m really sorry about that, but I had this story on my mind and I couldn´t just push it aside. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1

Lullaby

EPOV

It was only morning and I could already say this day would be unbearable. My father Carlisle had promised an old friend in his death bed to take care of his daughter, little did he know that Rosalie would create a fuzz about it. Well actually he should know, Rosalie can´t stand to be deprived from her so deserved attention.

He called me the night before, fearing for the girl. Rosalie could be evil impersonation when she didn´t get what she wanted. He called in a favor for all the years we spent as family, and in part I still considered them family, but as time passed I grew lonely and bitter, soon enough living with them was an impossible task.

"Son, I know it´s too much to ask of you. We know you enjoy your times alone, but she is really quiet and independent, a sweet girl, she won´t cause you any trouble." Carlisle pointed the girl´s qualities trying to sell the idea

"I´m not completely sure about this, Carlisle. This could turn out in the wrong way." I fought the idea of having a human around all the time, that would mean I´d have to hunt more and watch myself in my own house.

"Please son, it´s just for a couple of weeks, until Esme can arrange her own place." I sighed

"Fine. Bring her tomorrow morning" Carlisle knew me. It was hard to deny him anything.

I was waiting their arrival and tapped my fingers impatiently against the mahogany table. What an inconvenience. I decided I would show her around and let her settle in. Alice had arranged her room in the middle of the night and provided the house with food. I heard a car pulling on the front and a knock on the door. I didn´t bother to answer. Alice knew her way around.

The moment the door opened a gush of wind hit my face. Her smell was tempting, so strong. I felt I was being punched on the stomach every time I gasped for air. If I wanted to help Carlisle keep his promise I had to get out of there in that instant. I darted through the kitchen door, running from that scent that haunted me.

As we walked in the immense house I heard a door closing in the back. Just as I thought, I was a burden to everyone. Alice sighed at my side, but shook the reasons for her annoyance and started showing me around. I wasn´t paying attention to what she was showing me I was dragged into the memories of Charlie. The moment Charlie left this world I knew I was going to be lonely, forever lonely. I had no friends or family, I didn´t like to bond, that was a synonym for loss in my head. She kept walking me into huge rooms explaining about the décor and everything but I wasn´t exactly paying attention, Alice had this charming way that made everyone around her float with happiness .I liked Alice I´ve only known her for a couple of days but I already liked her. She was nice to me, not pity nice, family nice, like a sister.

"Come now Bella. I´ll show you your room." She walked me through a set of stairs to the second floor and opened a huge door.

"Th-This is my room?" I gasped, the room was huge. It was a bit dark for my taste, with dark wood and crimson curtains running down the windows. There were two big couches and an enormous bed. It was equipped with TV, stereo and god knows what more.

"Yes, do you like it? I think I got you everything you need. That door will lead you through the bathroom and closet, I got you some clothes just in case." She grinned

"Thanks Alice. I like it but I don't think it was necessary, I will be here for a week or so." Where would I go next. I had no idea and little time to figure it out.

"Don´t be silly Bella. For all I could care, you could stay with us forever, but Rosalie can be extremely selfish when it's about attention." She was surely condemning Rosalie for her actions.

"I don´t blame her. I was intruding her space."

"Bah, don´t mind her. Make yourself comfortable, Edward should be back at any moment. I´ll come visit you" She sighed, looked like she was hiding something from me, I would never know. This family was far too weird for me to understand.

Alice left me unpacking the little things I had took me less than an hour. I looked around nothing left to do regard unpacking. I didn´t feel like watching television. I took a bath and headed for the bed. I got my mp3 played and had my phones on. The music that was playing suited me very well. It always made me sleep.

"On the sand, by the sea
I left my heart to shed my grief
A vulture came begging me:
- Feed me with this piece of meat!

I won't give away
Something I need

On a garden nursery
I let my fancy wander free
Children playing around a tree
Sharing apples happily

Come and rest with me
Lay your hands on dreams

I'll wait here by your side
'till you fall asleep
I'll wait until you cry
All over me the tears you hide inside..."

I tried to ponder with Carlisle I told him countless times that that was definitely the place for her, I told him she wasn´t safe, that I had no control, I tried to explain a million times how tempting she was and that it would be impossible to fight the thirst for HER blood. He might have thought I was just making up excuses and regretting agreeing to this madness. Alice didn't help as well, telling Carlisle that I didn´t even get to meet her.

This girl, Isabella, would be the end of me. How would I keep sane with that scent impregnating every corner of my house? The night went on until I came up with an absurd but effective solution. I knew restraining her wasn't the best of the ideas, she would probably feel like a prisoner but was the best way to keep her safe. Besides, for all I could care, I didn´t have to prove anything to her, she was just an unwanted guest.

I got home and took a deep breath. Mouth watering. I felt my mouth flooding with venom, but the scent was weaker, easier to resist. I wrote her a note and slept it under her door. I was curious in some ways, except for Rosalie there wasn´t one bad comment about this girl. Alice gave me explicit instructions to treat her well. "She is special Edward." That were her words. I was intrigued, what was so special about that girl? My hand flew to the doorknob instinctively. I knew I could sneak in and she would never know. But if something happened to her and I couldn't control myself Carlisle would loath me forever, and worst of all Alice would be an even bigger annoyance. I sighed, I could hear her even soft breathing in her room. I could also hear a low music, maybe on an iPod. I concentrated on the sound of the music it was familiar. Ha, Lacuna Coil? How weird.

I went to my room and waited until morning arrived.

I woke up with to the weird place. I was still not familiar to my new house. My second new house in the last few days and there would probably be a third by the end of next week. I got up and opened the curtains to let some light in. The room actually seemed much better when there was some light in it. There was some sign of life. I walked to the bathroom and went through my morning routine, brush teeth, wash face and fail at smoothing my hair. I was ready for breakfast but afraid to go outside. I was not sure I was ready to face the owner of this place, especially after leaving so abruptly yesterday.

I stared at the door considering what would be worst case scenario when I saw I small piece of paper folded in half. The handwriting was perfect, smooth and even.

"Isabella,

Please make yourself at home. You are completely free to use the house as you wish, but I request that after the sun is down you do not leave your room, as I would like to enjoy my time around the house as well.

Sincerely,

E.C."

I never thought such a short note would hurt me so bad. So I was an inconvenience. A burden, a burden so big that he couldn´t even have the courtesy of saying that to my face. I felt the tears rolling down my face, angry washed through me.

"Coward." I muttered

I stomped out of my bedroom looking for the kitchen. I felt so angry at the truth of his words that I didn´t want to make myself at home. I was an intruder, and I was clearly bothering him. I prepared some sandwiches and wrote an unpolite note on the kitchen counter.

"E.C

Don´t even bother using your own house only at night, after all I am the one intruding your space. I´ll just need a few hours in the morning to prepare myself food for the day.

Bella."

I went to my bedroom and locked myself in, I regretted the note later, I still wanted to say he didn´t have to bother about me and use his own house at his will, but I could have used better words. I sighed, why I always let my temper get to me. I considered running down and try to retrieve the note before he got a chance to see, but it was already night and I was not willing to defy his good will.

Please review, it´s really important to know what you guys think. I spend hours trying to write something nice, and it´s a bit frustrating when you don´t get a minimal feedback to know oif you should keep going or just give up D;

Next chapter. Edward meets Bella ;O
