Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or will I ever. Only in my dreams…

Author's note: I didn't write the first two chapters, Twilight Fan 2010 did. The whole story is based off of her plot: I just put a little tweaks in. I didn't change any part of the first 2 chapters, so enjoy!

Bella-12

When Carlisle and Esme Cullen went to adopt their 6th child, they simply thought they were just getting another daughter. What they got was much more.
Bella is 12 years old and very smart for her age. From just looking at her
you'd think that she'd be the perfect child. So, what's wrong with her? Bella
is very quiet and most people think she's just shy, but she's not. She's
hiding from them. She thought she was safe from them, but when they come back and are after her, how far will she go to stop them? How far can a 12 year-old-go?

Esme's point of view:

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, it's good to see you," Gloria said.

"You too, Gloria," I replied smiling at her.

Today was going to be a great day, I knew that much. Carlisle and I were about to bring a new child into our home. I couldn't have children so

Carlisle and I adopted. Emmett was my first son; he was 10 at the time. Rosalie was next, she was 11. We adopted Jasper and Alice two weeks apart.
Jasper had been 10, Alice: 9. Then Edward was brought into the family only a month after Alice and Jasper. He had been 7. Now we were adopting our 6th and final child.

"Would you like to see her file?" Gloria asked.

"Can we?"

"Yeah, here let me get it."

Gloria walked behind the counter and searched through a set of files before
pulling one out.

"Here you are."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome. You just read over the file and I will go make sure she's
ready."

Gloria walked off and Carlisle and I sat down and began to read over the
file.

Story: Isabella was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She was the only child and Charlie and Renee Swan. Bella was found wondering the streets at 3 a.m. one night. The cops brought her home, but no one was there. They called their cell phones and searched the city high and low but found no traces of her parents. When they asked Bella, she couldn't answer. They finally gave up on the case, saying the parents skipped abandoned her and sent her to the Seattle Home for Boys and Girls.

"Wow, what kind of parent could do that to a child?" I asked.

"I don't know, sweetheart, I don't know. Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, meet you new daughter, Isabella."

I looked at the little girl standing by Gloria. She was tiny and pale. She had circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept in years. She had this haunted look about her, but I couldn't blame her. I smiled at her.

"Hello Isabella."

Bella's point of view:

I was sitting in a chair waiting for my new "parents" to finish paper work. They weren't sitting that far away, so I heard what they were saying.

"I'm glad you choose her, most people prefer the babies and younger ones."

"Well, she's perfect. I couldn't think of a better daughter. Just out of curiosity, how long has she been here?"

"Not long, almost two months."

I got bored after that and just started to look around when I saw something moved out of the corner of my eye. I quickly snapped my head in the direction.

They were here, I knew it. I saw a shadow move again. I closed my eyes tight.

You're not here, you're not here, you're not here….I chanted in my mind.

"Bella?" I opened my eyes to see Esme, Carlisle, and Gloria looking at me
with worried expressions.

"Sorry, I have a head ache," I lied.

"Oh, okay. Well are you ready to go home?" Esme asked.

"Yes ma'am," I replied politely. Esme smiled and I stood up. Carlisle already had my suitcase. I waved goodbye to Gloria and walk out of my old
life and into my new one. The ride to their house wasn't long. They didn't live to far from the orphanage. When we stopped, my mouth literally dropped.

The house was HUGE, three story, white. It looked like one of those old Victorian style homes.

"Do you like it?" Esme asked.

"Yeah, it's big."

"Well, we need big."

The inside of the house was even more amazing, I didn't, however, have a chance to enjoy it. I was swept off of my feet and into a massive bear hug.

"Welcome home, little sis!"

"Emmett, please put your sister down."

"Sorry Mom."

"Sorry about that Bella, did he scare you?"

"No."

"Okay, let's get things started, shall we? Bella, this is your oldest brother Emmett and he is 16. This is Rosalie your oldest sister and she is also 16. This is your other brother Jasper and he is 15. This is your sister Alice and she is 14. Your last brother is currently practicing his piano. You'll meet him later, his name is Edward and he is 12."

I smiled at her before turning back to my new "brothers and
sisters"

"Hi."

"Bella, welcome home."

I smiled at the fact that I finally feel welcomed again. And hopefully,
I'll be safe.
