AN: a new plot bunny has come! I don't know how often I will update this story, but I do plan on writing more chapters.
Chapter One: My life
My whole life has been spent in constant fear.
My 'Family' has tried to help me through that fear. Telling me that they will protect me, that there was no need to worry as long as they were near by. But what happens when they leave? I can't stay with them forever. This life can only last so long.
I dream of the cold stare of the demon eyed monster who hunts me. He will never give up on his quest to drink my blood.
It started when I was only an infant. A defenseless baby.
My mother died giving birth to me, and my father tried his best to take care of me. His name was Earl J. Lefter…and he was the nephew of a women who supposedly died so many years ago.
But she didn't die…she was reborn as a Vampire at the hands of a man named Carlisle. They now live as husband and wife. But my great aunt never forgot her little sister, and continued to watch over her over the years, and when she died, she watched over her son, and eventually his daughter and that is how she came in to my life.
I was less than a year old, when my father went out to the store to by me some more formula. He couldn't leave me at home alone, so he took me with him.
I cried as he walked down the street in the cold December weather. He tried to comfort me, but no matter what he did, I wouldn't stop my wails.
Maybe I knew that would be the last time I would be with my biological father.
Earl had no idea that in the shadows a demon stalked him. Blood lust consuming him to attack an innocent man holding a child.
Within an instant my father was thrown to the ground. He shielded me from the blow to the best of his ability. I'm still grateful to him.
"I've never smelled blood more appetizing" the demon snarled.
But my father was confused. This demon looked human. His features-- almost a perfect representation of beauty…besides his blood red eyes.
"what do you want?" my father screamed in confusion. "please don't harm my baby" he pleaded.
My father was a loving man…I wish I had gotten to know him better. But alas I never will. He was stolen from me that night by the hands of the demon.
But it wasn't my fathers fault. The demon confused our scents. He thought that my blood was his. An understandable mistake considering he was holding me very close to himself. He attacked my father and devoured him; I was cast to the side, on the cold cement ground.
It didn't take long for the monster to notice that my blood smelled more appetizing than my fathers.
I would have been dead in that instant if she hadn't come.
By chance she lived close by with her family. By chance she was outside and smelled my father's spilt blood. But it was to late for him, and she could see that; she instantly noticed me and was by my side in a split second-cradling me in her cold arms
The demon was taken back. Confused as to why another of his kind would interfere.
Carlisle was then by his wife's side, protecting her. Along with their sons, Emmet and Edward.
The demon knew he was no match for four, and fled in fear.
I continued to cry as I was held close to the chest of my great aunt.
"He wants her blood" snarled Edward
"Hers? She's just a baby!" Esme replied in disbelief
"She's a singer to him. He couldn't resist. He'll come back as soon as we leave her" Edwards's voice was fierce in rage.
"Lets go back to the house. Emmet, track him." Carlisle ordered.
"Finally some action!" Emmit said before he took off in amazing speed after the Demon.
They returned with me back to their home. Rosalie and Alice crowding Esme, beaming with maternal instincts.
"what was he thinking Edward?" Esme asked
"he's never encountered blood that smelled so good to him. He was consumed with the need to devourer her…even though she's just a child." his voice almost a growl.
"I saw into his mind…he won't give up on feeding on her. He'll wait."
"I won't let him get her!" Esme protested
"of course. We'll make sure she is safe." Carlisle comforted his wife.
"Alice, what do you see?" he said looking toward his 'daughter'
The small women, stood frozen for a moment before regaining her composer; a look of distaste on her face. Edward growled.
"I see us bringing her to the authorities…then him coming back, killing her foster parents along with her. He wont give up on it." Her voice was stern
"I wont let him get her, we have to kill him" Esme said looking down to the small bundle in her arms.
The scene was interrupted by Emmet storming in the house.
"No can do, he's long gone. I've never seen someone so fast. He must have got on a small airplane or something." He grumbled.
"So now all we can do is keep her!" Alice chimed in, how look of distaste, now a look of joy.
And they did. There was no other option.
Countless times they decided—for the best of me—to bring me to human parents, and each time Alice foresaw him coming back for me.
Over the years there were a few encounters. Each time Edward got another glance into his twisted mind. But each time he escaped.
"He's waiting for her to grow older now….more blood. Like aging a fine wine, is how he sees it."
And so I stayed with them. A human in a home of vampires. A dangerous thing indeed. But all of them quickly became accustomed to me. Even Jasper could be alone in a room with me with out fear of loosing control. He once told me, I reminded him of his cousin, and the tough of harming me disgusted him.
Esme, my great aunt, was now my mother. And Carlisle, my father.
And I-- I was no longer Marie E. Lefter.
I am now Marie Elizabeth Cullen.
