This story is collaboration between me, Twilighter Sami, and my buddy, Kit Kat, aka notsomuch2say. We will be switching off with the chapters. I'm guessing that I'll be doing the odd chapters, in both meanings of the word, if ya catch my drift. So, enjoy!

I walked back and forth along the edge of the driveway, lost in my thoughts. I veered off the path and headed towards the trees.

So much has happened over the past few days that I can barely keep up with it, but I wouldn't trade a thing to go back to my old life. This was my life now, and it was everything I could ever ask for.

I'm happy as the newly adopted Cullen.

Sorry, let me introduce myself.

My name is Katherine, Katherine Cullen. Friends from my old life used to call me Kit Kat. I'm 5'5, 15 years old, tan, and I have black hair that goes a little past my shoulders. I grew up in the sunnier side of Canada, but I was never far from the ocean, one of my favorite places to be.

And now, here I was in Forks, Washington, living with my new family.

The Cullens, Bella and Edward, were passing through on vacation with their daughter, Nessie, who looked like she was about 16, a lil' older than me, and extended family member, Jacob, who didn't look like he was 16 at all, which he actually was. I honestly didn't get the deal between him and Nessie.

I've lived in an orphanage all my life. My mom died at childbirth, while my dad died in a car accident trying to get to the hospital.

Yeah. What a real lucky charm I am.

Anyway, I befriended Nessie and Jacob, and soon enough, they decided to adopt me, because they grew to love me as much as I loved them. They were the family I always wanted, and they wanted me to be apart of theirs.

They gave me the choice though. They said they were something other, and I didn't have to leave my old life behind if I didn't want to. In the end, I was the one who adopted them, and I don't regret the decision at all.

As soon as the paperwork was completed, they told me everything.

They told me how Edward was changed by his adoptive father, Carlisle, and how he had changed others in his family, and how Edward had changed Bella while she was giving birth to Nessie. They assured me that I wouldn't become a snack to them at all. They've already perfected the art of resisting the temptation of blood; especially Edward, because of Bella he had explained.

They told me they were vampires.

Well, Bella and Edward were at least.

Nessie was only half, while Jacob was a werewolf who imprinted on her, whatever that is.

They were worried that they had scared me, and I assured them that that was definitely not it. This was exactly the life I had been looking for.

I was quickly welcomed with opened arms into the Cullen home, especially by Carlisle, my new grandfather, and Esme, my new grandmother, who were the most understanding.

Alice was… interesting, as was her husband, Jasper, being the only other 'talented' members of the family other than my new dad, Edward.

And then there was Emmett and Rosalie. Rosalie, seemed quite accepting of me, considering I was human and all, but I think it was something to do with her adjustment to Bella and Nessie.

Vampires.

I've always dreamt about them, and now, I was living with them.

But…

What about when I'm old and gray, and I die? I don't want to leave my family behind. It's something I'd have to work on.

I turned back onto the driveway and headed back towards the house.

"Edward? Bella?" I called from the doorway.

"Jeez, Katherine, you know you don't have to yell. We can hear you just as well if you were to whisper," Bella chuckled.

"Sorry," I whispered.

"What's up, hon?" Bella asked, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Weeeeeeell," I started, drawing out the word, "I was wondering, if one day you could make me like you?" I was immensely scared of their answer. What if they said no and rejected me? Then I'd find out that they really didn't want me and this was all a cruel joke, and my life really would be worth nothing.

"Katherine, we won't reject you. Don't think like that. If… that's what you want, then, we'll do it. If you want to be apart of our family in that way, then we want you just as much," Edward said.

"Really?" I asked, disbelief coloring my voice.

"Of course, sweetie. Whenever you're ready, we'll do it. Well, Carlisle will." Bella said with a smile.

"Thank you." Tears were ready to escape my eyes, but I wasn't ready to let them fall. I really was accepted here.

"You guys are the best family ever," I said, the tears finally flowing.

Nessie appeared, and joined the group hug that Bella and Edward had me engulfed in.

"So, when is this wonderful shindig takin' place?" Nessie asked, excited.

All three of them looked at me, waiting for my response.

"Well, I think I'd like to wait until I graduate high school, or maybe when I've started college."

"Whatever you want," Bella said.

"Thank you."

"So…"

"What is it Nessie?" I wasn't sure if I should be worried.

"AUNT ALICE!!!" Nessie screeched.

Suddenly, Alice was there, eagerness clear on her face. She probably already knew what was going to happen.

"What's going on? I hate it when you two gang up on me," I warned, looking between the two of them.

"We're…"

"going…"

"SHOPPING!!!" They both screamed at the same time.

"Noooo!!!" I yelled, agonized.

"Sorry sweetie," Bella said as she patted my arm gently.

Of course she wouldn't try stopping them, because she was tired of being their Bella Barbie. Oh well, I couldn't hold it against her.

"Fine." I groaned.

And they each grabbed one of my arms and dragged me to Alice's Porsche, which was somehow able to fit all three of us in it.

This was going to be a long day.

SPOV:

Finally!

Summer vacation! I've been waiting for this ever since spring break.

It's about time. I was ready to kill myself from boredom.

All those lectures and frat parties… crazy.

Being a freshman in college ain't so bad, but if ya stopped growing at 15 years old, it would be pretty hard. But, then again, my height made up for my apparent youth, making me seem older.

I climbed into my old, beat up, yellow Nissan Xterra, and turned the key in the ignition.

Finally, I'd be able to get back to La Push, away from the busy life Seattle held. I guess I'll always be a small town boy.

I couldn't wait to see my mom, sue, and Charlie. They've grown quite close these past few years.

And I was very excited to meet up with the pack and the Cullens again.

Gosh, I missed everyone so much.

Why did the stop of growth have to come with being a werewolf. As cool as being a creature from storybooks is, that was just not one of the perks. Super speed, strength, hearing and shape shifting and all that jazz was nice and all, but sometimes… I kinda wish I could have one day of being normal. Whatever that was.

But what I really wanted was to finally imprint.

I wanted to fall in love, maybe settle down, but what were the chances of finding the one when there were billions of people in the world.

I sighed. Oh well, at least I'd be home soon. I checked the time.

Wow, only about an hour left.

When I finally passed the border of Forks and entered La Push, I let out a breath of relief.

I got out of my car and dug out the key from under the doormat of my home.

Home.

Ah, it was so nice to be back.

I stepped inside and was greeted by everyone.

Somehow, the entire pack managed to fit inside the house.

I was hugged by my mom first, then Leah, gosh I didn't realize I could actually miss my annoying older sister, and then Sam, Embry, Quil, Paul, wow, I never realized he would give me a hug, of all people, Jared, Collin, Brady, Charlie, and finally, Jacob.

"Hey, Jacob, man, how's everyone back in Forks?"

"Why don't you see for yourself? Wanna visit them later?" he offered.

"Yeah, I'd love that, dude!"

The Cullens were like extended family, especially because of Nessie.

"Let's go right now!"

"Um, what about your party, Seth?"

"Right… Mom! We'll be back soon, we're just gonna visit the Cullens quickly!" I yelled over the chatter.

"But, sweetie, you've barely arrived! At least have some of the cake I baked just for you," my mom pleaded.

"Yeah, she worked very hard," Charlie said.

"Well, I guess a few minutes ain't so bad." I shrugged my shoulders.

"So, what's up with ya, huh Seth? Meet anyone… special," Leah asked, wagging her eyebrows suggestively.

"No. But I do have a girlfriend back in Seattle." I told them.

"I thought you haven't imprinted yet!" My mom screeched. Everyone covered their ears. Charlie had no idea whatsoever as to what we were talking about.

"I haven't imprinted yet," I explained to everyone, "but I'm just having fun for now. You know, just until I meet that special someone. If I ever will, which I highly doubt."

Sam interrupted. "Seth, be patient. You will find her, I promise." His voice was firm, as was his grip on my shoulder. I could tell he was determined to get me to believe him, and to make it happen.

"Yeah.." I muttered, looking down.

"Hey, Jake, can we go visit the Cullens now?"

"Yeah, sure man. Let's go."

We hopped into his Rabbit and drove quickly into Forks.

I saw the familiar white house and was happy to be back here at my second home.

As soon as the car stopped, I practically ripped the door off its hinge opening it and I ran to the door, where everyone was already waiting.

Jacob was on my heels and he quickly scooped Nessie up into a hug and spun her around in his arms.

I felt a pang in my chest, never having found my other half yet.

I looked back at the rest of the family, and my smile grew.

"Hey guys!"

"SETH!" they all yelled, and rushed up for hugs. After a couple fist bumps and kisses on the cheeks, I noticed someone not coming to greet me.

She was tan, so she couldn't be a vampire like the rest of the Cullens.

She had black hair, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

It was like my world was brightened; I was oblivious to everything around me. I only had eyes for her. Who was she?

I knew it had happened.

Or was it just wishful thinking after what Sam had said. I didn't dwell on that thought too long, because I could only think about her.

Kit Kat! Your turn! You gotta take it from here, and make it good.

Remember, this is a dedication to you, and you're also writing it for you… weird.

Please review, and I hope you enjoyed my part! Next chapter is by notsomuch2say.
