Disclaimer: I do not in anyway own Twilight or it's Characters or it's setting. But… I do own my imagination, therefore, I own my story and my new character! GO ME!
Hey everyone! This is my first FanFic so tell me how I did. Please review. Thanks soooo freaking much.
Chapter One
I sat straight up. Where was I and what day was it? I looked around. I had never been here before. I was wearing everyday clothes: Jeans and a tee shirt; but something about me was different. I felt stronger than I had for months.
The last thing I remembered was me being very sick. I was so sick I was dying. And this doctor… Dr. Cullen… he was taking care of me. He was very cute; he had amazing golden eyes. I wished I had eyes like him. Mine were just plain old brown. HE would tell me so much about his family: About his wife: Esme, about his sons: Emmett, Edward and Jasper and about his daughters: Alice, Rosalie and Bella. He looked far too young to have six teenage children, but he told me they were all adopted.
He told me that they were just about my age, seventeen. He also told me that all six of them were together: Jasper and Alice, Emmett and Rosalie and Edward and Bella. I thought that was lovely. Their adoptive parents played matchmaker. That was beautiful.
I got off of the cold metal examination table and looked into the mirror that was in the room. I gasped in shock. I knew that what was looking back at me was me, but it didn't look like me. My normally very wavy brown hair was now black and straight. My little bit of belly fat was gone. And my eyes were no longer just plain old brown. They were bright red. I was the most gorgeous thing I'd ever seen and I didn't understand what had happened. This had to be a dream.
"No," said a voice behind me, "This isn't a dream." I turned around and was six children. The one that had spoken to me had his arm around a girl with dark brown hair and golden eyes. The boy himself had bronze colored hair and golden eyes. I looked at the rest of them. I knew who they were: They were Dr. Cullen's children. They were adopted, but they all had golden eyes… just like the doctor.
"My name is Edward," said the bronze-haired boy, "This is Bella," he gestured toward the beautiful girl beside him. "And this is Alice and Jasper," he gestured toward a girl with short black hair and a boy with blonde hair. They were holding hands lovingly. "And this is Emmett and Rosalie." He gestured toward a grizzly bear-like boy and a blonde girl whose arms were around each other.
"And you're name is Kyra," said Edward.
"How did you know my name?" I asked
"Edward can read everyone's minds," said Bella, staring longingly into his eyes, "well, except mine."
"Oh," I whispered, "What am I? And where am I?"
"You're one of us," said Alice, "You're a vampire."
"And you're also in our house. This is Carlisle's examination room," said Emmett.
"We just wanted to come and say, 'welcome to the family!' " Exclaimed Alice. She held her pale arms out to me, gesturing that she wanted a hug. I walked toward them and hugged her. Then Emmett lifted me off of the ground as a hug. Bella wrapped her delicate, pale arms around me. Then Edward, then Jasper, then, reluctantly, Rosalie. I did feel very welcome in their family. I felt as if they'd been waiting for me to be in their family.
And that's when it hit me. I was now in their family. I was now the newest addition to a family of vampires. I would be living in a house with seven other vampires. I was scared. What if they didn't like me?
Edward smiled at me, showing me perfect teeth. "There's no need to be afraid, Kyra," he said calmly.
"You're our sister now. We're family," said Alice.
"We won't bite," said Rosalie.
"No, that's Carlisle's job," said Bella. They laughed like it was a joke that I was missing.
"This will take time getting used to. Until then, you'll just have to pay attention," said Jasper. They smiled at me, all six of them had dazzling smiled. I felt insignificant compared to them.
"Come on," said Bella, "Carlisle and Esme are waiting."
We walked into a very open room; windows were surrounding everything. I saw Dr. Cullen sitting with a very beautiful woman. They turned and saw me. They smiled warmly at me. They stood. The woman came and hugged me. She looked into my eyes. She, too, just like the others, had brilliant gold eyes.
"Hello, dear," she said, "I'm Esme."
"It's nice to meet you," I said, "Dr. Cullen told me so much about all of you."
"No, no, Kyra," said Dr. Cullen, "You're a part of the family. You can call me Carlisle."
"Okay…" I said, "Carlisle."
"Sit down dear," said Esme, "We have much to discuss." He sat me down between Alice and Bella.
"Now," said Carlisle, "I do believe that they've told you what you are?" I nodded. "Say it aloud. Once you say it, it becomes real. No need to be frightened."
"I'm a…" I swallowed, "Vampire."
"Yes," said Carlisle, "Our family is a bit different. Most of our kind feed from humans. We only feed form animals. We don't like being monsters. But we must feed somehow." I nodded: no one wants to be a monster. "But, we do not eat. We can, but eventually, we'd have to cough it back up." I grimaced. That's disgusting.
"But you won't ever want to eat. You'll never get hungry," said Bella, "Only thirsty." She had a look in her eyes as if this were new knowledge to her.
"And, also, we can't sleep," said Jasper.
"Trust me," said Alice, "I tried. It doesn't work." I laughed with the rest of them.
"One more thing: Werewolves." Said Carlisle.
"Do they exist, too?" I asked. I was new to this whole vampire thing I didn't know anything.
"Yes," said Carlisle, "We aren't aloud on their land. They think we're too dangerous. We don't speak to them. They don't speak to us."
"Filthy dogs," muttered Edward. Bella's eyes filled with tears. She knew something. She knew a werewolf.
"I'm sorry," Edward whispered to his love. She looked at him and silently forgave him. They did love each other so much. I wonder if they knew each other as humans.
"Werewolves: off limits. Got it." I said, "Where do they live?"
"They live on and Native American reservation called La Push. We can't cross the La Push boundaries, but they can cross it to come over here," said Alice, grimly. Bella, again, got an upset look on her face.
"I don't mean to pry, but… um… Bella? Did you know one of the werewolves?" I asked
"Yes," she said, "HE was my best friend. And now we can never speak again."
Something told me that they'd known each other for a very long time before she was changed. Something told me everything about that.
"Jacob Black," I blurted out. She looked at me with a shocked look on her face, "His name was Jacob Black."
"Did I--?" she cut herself off.
"I—I'm sorry. I didn't mean to—"
"Kyra, it's okay," said Bella, "You're my sister. Carlisle, I think we've found her talent. What else can you find out?"
I looked around at my siblings. I first looked at Edward. "You're name was Edward Mason Junior before Carlisle changed you. You were dying of… Spanish Influenza… He was helping you and you're mother." Edward smiled.
"And, Jasper," I looked at him, "You helped with an army of newborn vampire before you and Alice found each other. Ones like me. There are scars from where they bit you up and down you're arms." He lifted his sleeves to show that is was true.
"Alice," I turned to her, "Not much is known about you're life before you were changed. But I know that you can see the future. That how you knew about Jasper." I went around the room blurting out random facts that I could just see. It was not mind reading or future seeing, like what Edward and Alice could do… more of finding facts about a certain topic.
After I was all done exploring this newfound ability, Carlisle got up, patted me on the back and said, "I think this is enough for tonight. Bella, would you show Kyra to her room?" Bella smiled and took my hand. We went up the stairs to a long hallway. We went down about four rooms and Bella opened the door. I there was a couch and a stereo. No bed, nothing. Just a couch and a stereo.
"Thanks, Bella," I said.
"Hey, Kyra?" she asked, "May I speak with you?"
"Of course." We sat down on the couch.
"How did you know about Jake?" she asked. This was obviously a topic she didn't like to bring up.
"I don't know to tell you the truth. I kind of just got an idea in my head and it seemed logical." I said. She smiled at me, even though I brought up a topic that she didn't want to speak about. "Would you mind telling me about him?"
She smiled. She obviously didn't want to speak about him in front of the others, who obviously held a grudge against the werewolves.
"Jacob's father, Billy Black, and my father, Charlie Swan, were best friends. Jacob and I would play together when we were little and then I left Forks to live with my mother in Phoenix, Arizona. I hadn't seen Jacob in years when I moved back to Forks. Then I met Edward. I soon found out the secret about him and his family. Then I found Jacob again. He and I were together all the time when Edward left…" she looked sad briefly, "But then, he wouldn't return my calls and started hanging out with a group of boys. Finally, I talked to him and found out he was a werewolf. His family, the Blacks, was a long line of werewolves that would protect humans from the 'Cold ones.' From us.
"Then Edward showed up again and then I had to choose: Werewolves, or Vampires. Well, here I am today."
"Wow," I said.
"Yeah," she said, "I haven't spoken to him in thirty years. We moved away from Forks after I changed. And now we're back. Now we have you!" I smiled. He hugged me. I hugged her back
"Thanks for listening," said Bella, "They don't like to talk about the wolves much. Neither do I, for that matter. I was so close to them and then I became a vampire. Wolves and Vampires never got along."
"Well, except the Newborn War, remember," said Edward, who was leaning against my doorway. Bella turned around and smiled at Edward.
"I'll leave you alone now, Kyra," said Bella, "So you can get used to it here. I'll see you later." She and Edward left my room and shut the door behind them.
I knew that the Cullen family would be a better family then I had before. My mom and dad split up when I was six. I lived with mom until she got in a car accident and died. Then I moved in with dad. He was always working. When he was home, he was asleep. My dad was an old man. He was fifty-six when I came to live with him when I was ten. He died at the age of sixty-three of lung cancer. Don't smoke, kids.
Just before I went to the hospital with pneumonia, dad had died. I was all alone. Now I'd be in the biggest family possible. I was one of nine people living under one roof. Lucky, there was enough room to fit everyone, plus more.
I looked around my room. There was, of course, my couch and stereo, but there was also a door. I walked over to the door and opened it, not sure what to expect. I turned on the light and there it was: a closet the size of my old room. It was huge and bright with shelves and rocks. And it was… empty. There were no clothes in there.
I knew I needed clothes.
I went back downstairs and sat beside Alice, who was reading a book.
"Hey, Alice?" I asked her
"Yes?" she said, turning the page over to make her place.
"I'd like to get to get to know you a little bit better," I said.
"Okay," she said, "Oh! I know! We could go shopping!"
"You like to shop?" I asked, exited.
"That would be the understatement if the year," said Edward, from the dining room. He was speaking with Bella about something.
"I love to shop. Shopping is a key point in my life. I don't know what I'd do without the mall," said Alice
"No way," I said, "Same here."
"Let's go. I knew you'd want to go shopping for clothes, since you have none," Said Alice, "Bella, will you come? Please, please, please?"
Bella sighed, "Fine," she said. She kissed Edward goodbye and said, "I'll be back in a few hours. No listening."
"Fine." Said Edward. He kissed her again before she went to come and leave with Alice and I. We went out to the garage and I saw all the cars in there. An old silver Volvo, a yellow Porsche, a red BMW convertible, a Jeep Wrangler and many other cars.
"Okay," said Alice. "Let's go."
Please reveiw. May I remind you that this is my very first story. i hope you likes it!
