Chapter One: Family Lies

There was a loud pounding on the front door, waking Kassie who I had just gotten to sleep. She looked sleepily up at me as I laid her on the couch. "Go back to sleep, I'll be right back." She wouldn't stay though as the fist once again pounded against the door. I scooped her up in my arms as I quickly made my way to the front door. My heart dropped the second I saw the red and blue lights from a police car I knew instantly that something was wrong.
I held Kassie closer to me as I opened the door to find two officers in full uniform. "Alexis Lovett?" The dark haired man asked. His badge read Officer Devaul. I gave him a small, tense nod. "May we come in?" I looked around, knowing my parents weren't home but this seemed important. I opened the door wider, letting them in before shutting it behind them.
After we all took a seat Kassie curled up on my lap and I started to speak. "What's wrong?" I asked. Cops only came to your house if something was wrong or if someone who lived there had broken the law. The woman took a deep breath before she spoke. " There's no easy way to say this but the Lovett's aren't your real parents. We have been looking for them for years now. They are wanted for two cases of kidnapping and for two murders."
My heart dropped as she spoke, she had to be lying. "No, you guys must have gotten something parents are very kind and loving people." I told her, refusing to believe her.
"No. I'm sorry. But they aren't yours or her biological parents. They kidnapped both of you when you were babies and in the process of taking her they killed her parents." She said, nodding towards Kassie. She held a folder with the word evidence written in bold across the top out towards me but I didn't take it, instead I held Kassie tighter.
"We need you to pack yours and her stuff. You will be staying with a foster family tonight and will be flying to meet your parents first thing in the morning." I could feel that my world was quickly falling apart around me.
I didn't want to hear anymore, there were already tears in my eyes. "What will happen to Kassie?" I asked, looking down at the half asleep little girl in my arms. I didn't care what they said, she was my sister and I would do anything to keep her with me.
"Since she doesn't have parents we don't see the point in splitting you up and neither does CPS. Things will be hard enough on both of you without splitting you two and putting her in foster care." The woman said and I nodded, a bit relieved.
"Kassie, you need to get up. We're going to be going somewhere with these nice people." I said, shifting her into an upright position.
Her eyes opened and she turned to look at the two officers. She instantly looked at me, obviously confused. "Where's mommy and daddy?" She asked as well as a sleepy two, almost three year old could.
My heart fell a bit more as I searched for something to tell her. "On vacation. They're going to be gone for a long time so they wanted me to take care of you while their gone." I found myself telling her. I couldn't tell her the truth, not until she was older. "Come on." I said standing with her still in my arms. "Let's go pack." I told her, forcing a smile so that she would not get upset.
I set her down so that she could walk to help wake her up then walked with her to our room. The woman followed us, probably making sure we didn't make a run for it or something. I pulled out our suitcases and started pulling our clothes and shoes out of the closets and drawers. After those were packed I packed pillows, blankets, hygiene stuff, and my makeup. I packed a few of Kassie's favorite dolls then zipped up the five suitcases.
I had laid aside a pair of pjs for both of us, my iPod, Kassie's blanket and our travel hygiene kits. I stuffed them in a small duffle bag but kept Kassie's blanket out, giving it to her.
In less than an hour I had us packed and I was saying goodbye to all my closest friends, tears violently streaming down my face. Then before I knew it we were in the car, driving away from our home.
We sat silently in the car for almost an hour before pulling up to a house I had never seen before. We were taken inside and then the cops were gone and we were left in a strange house with people we had never met or even seen before.
Neither Kassie or I were hungry so we went straight to bed. Kassie was asleep in minutes but my mind kept racing, unable to slow down enough for me to sleep. But finally after a few hours my eyes drifted shut and I was asleep.

There was a light tapping on my shoulder, causing me to wake from my dreams, my life where nothing was wrong. I opened my eyes to find my little sister standing next to the bed, tears falling down her soft pale cheeks. I quickly sat up, pulling her onto my lap. "What's wrong?" I asked worried.
"I-I got sick." She cried, pointing to the bed across the room. "I want mommy and daddy." She said. Her words sent a sharp pain through my heart. I wanted to give her what she wanted, to make her feel better. But I couldn't.
I laid her on my bed and got up to clean up her mess. By the time I was done it was around five and there was no way I was getting Kassie back to sleep. So, giving up on a bit more sleep for me I got out our stuff we would need to get ready for today and started the bath for Kassie.
It took just over an hour for me to get us both bathed and ready for the day, ready for meeting the people we would be living with. At least for the next year and a half before I was eighteen and could take care of us both myself.
My stomach growled just as there was a knock on the door. "Come in." I shouted through the door as I put on Kassie's shoes. After her bath she had been feeling a lot better.
The door opened and the woman who had greeted us last night stood there in the doorway. "Breakfast is ready." She said with a smile as I finished putting on Kassie's shoes. I picked her up and smiled at her.
"Lets go eat." I told her, following the lady out of the room and to the dining room. We all ate breakfast in silence which I was grateful for so I could have a little bit of time to think before we left. I sat there wondering what it would be like. What was my biological family like? Would they like me? Would I like them?
About six hours later we were at the airport closest to Forks, looking for people I'd never met. I stood at the baggage claim, holing Kassie in my arms while I waited for our stuff. It only took a few minutes for us to recover all our luggage. I set Kassie down and crouched so I was about eye level with her. "We're going to be living with new people for now. I don't know how long mommy and daddy will be gone. Just stay close to me and be nice to them. Don't be shy." I told her, wrapping her in a hug.
I let her go and started to stand up, but before I could fully stand I was surrounded by strangers and being hugged tightly. A few of them said my name and two of them cried. But none of them looked old enough to be my parents. The oldest one looked to be in his late twenties, early thirties at the oldest. But most looked to be between my age and early twenties. By the time everyone took a step back, releasing me Kassie was wrapped tightly around my leg. I picked her up and everyone smiled at us as Kassie clung tightly to me.
"Alexis." One of the girls said with a bright smile. "I'm Renesmee and this is Jacob. But you can call us Jake and Nessie. We're your parents." She said, pulling me into another hug. She looked too young to be my mom. I raised an eyebrow but didn't question it. I just gave a small nod.
"Please, call me Lexi." I said with a forced smile that everyone but Nessie seemed to see straight through. I didn't plan on asking any questions seeing as I didn't plan on staying here past my eighteenth birthday. The one they called Edward had a sad look on his face and I wondered what was wrong. Was he the only one who felt bad for taking me away from my life where I had been perfectly happy?
Kassie who was hiding her face in my hair yawned. "Can we go? She's getting tired." I said to Jake who along with one of the other guys grabbed our stuff and lead us out to the car.

The car ride was short, mostly because of the crazy fast speed that Edward was driving. He was going to get someone killed one of these days. I was extremely glad when he stopped the car in front of house and I was able to get out of the car. I quickly pulled Kassie out with me and Nessie laughed at how worried I seemed.
"Hey little one. Want your new mommy to show you your room?" Nessie asked. I shot her a warning glare that she seemed to understand as Kassie gave me a half scared half sad look. I forced a smile and shook my head.
"She's kidding." I told her. Kassie reached for my hand and I let her grab it. She didn't like to talk much and even when she did she usually only talked to our parents and me. I looked at Nessie, keeping that forced smile on my face. "We would love a tour of the house."
She nodded and led us through the house. It was perfect, my dream house, even my dream room and Kassie's was right next to mine. I loved the house, but I would have loved it more if the parents who raised me were here. I still didn't want to believe what the cops had said last night about them.
Once everything was unpacked Kassie and I sat in the living room with the Cullen family and our new parents. As I watched the Cullen's and answered their questions I noticed that the main thing they had in common was their pale skin, golden eyes and perfection. The only ones who really looked blood related though were Edward, Bella, and Nessie.
They all watched me closely and we talked about my life and how I had been raised. We talked about my friends and my ex-boyfriends. They were nice but I just didn't seem to fit in with them, or anyone. I never had.
"The pack will be over tomorrow so expect a lot of people who eat everything in sight." Jake told me with a laugh. Pack? I thought curiously. No one I knew called their group of friends a pack. But then again, this was a different place, people talked and acted different.
"Ya, they eat like starving wolves." Emmett said with a laugh, earning a glare from Jake. It disappeared so quick you would have missed it if you weren't watching closely.
I gave a nod as I watched my new family. There was something odd about them. There was something I didn't know. I didn't know what but I knew enough to not trust them until I found out what their secret was.
