"Izzy," I heard my Uncle Edward say I had just gotten to another chapter in New Moon when he entered my room. "Hey honey what are you doing?"

"Nothing," I lie stashing my copy of the book. Uncle Edward doesn't like it when I read the series because he thinks that I get too wrapped up in them. There was also that minor incident where I hit Jacob with a baseball bat. I truly think the boy had it coming.

"Are you lying to me," he said trying to depict every movement I made. For some reason he could always tell when I'm lying but I'm trying to change that.

"You tell me," I said sarcastically.

"That's not fair Isabella Rose Hansen," he said now looking cross. He becomes very aggravated when I'm not honest with him. You see he can't my, my mothers, or my Aunt Bella's mind.

"All right you caught me," I said. "I confess. Now what is my penance?"

"That depends," he said. "What exactly have you done this time?" He plopped down on my bed and I handed him my worn out copy of New Moon. I've read the books so many times that they're almost falling apart. "Izzy I thought we took these away from you. You know that you're not supposed to be reading them."



"But Uncle Edward why," I pouted. "You and Aunt Bella created one of the most epic love stories of all time. What's wrong with dreaming about it a little? Besides it's the only thing that helps me escape sometimes."

"Escape what my little love," he asked.

"I don't know," I said. "Sometimes I just feel strange. I mean I'm living in a house where everyone is a vampire accept for me. You all have so many gifts that I could never acquire. I just feel so out of place sometimes. I almost feel like I will never be normal."

"Izzy we've talked about this," my uncle began to say before I cut him off. "I know we've talked about this," I said. "But it doesn't stop me from thinking it or feeling this way. Sometimes I dream that I'll have the kind of love story that you and Bella have. I just wish that someone would feel that way about me I guess."

"So you think that becoming a vampire would make everything all better," he asked.

"Not better but maybe normal," I said.

"Oh kid," Uncle Edward said laughing. "You are just too much you know that? Being human is the most normal thing in this world. You have every opportunity set at your feet. You can be anything you want to be and live any life you want to live. Why would you want to give that up?"

"Because it is the life I want to live," I explained. "I'm just so tired of being an ordinary."

"You are anything but ordinary my Izzy," he said placing a kiss on my forehead. "Now we're going out for awhile on a walk. Would you care to join us?"

"No thanks," I said. "I actually just want to get back to reading if you'll give me my book back."



"You promise you won't attack Jacob with a baseball bat," he teased.

"I was twelve dude," I replied. "He has to get over it sometime.

"Maybe," he agreed. "But he still won't come anywhere near you when we play baseball Iz Iz."

"Well if that's true then can we play baseball every day," I joked. "That guy is seriously starting to get on my nerves. He asked me to babysit again."

"You love your cousins," he said simply. "And you know that you'd be doing your aunt Megen a big favor Iz."

"It seems like I'm always doing favors," I grumbled.

"But that's why we love you Izzy," he said slipping out of my doorway. I loved my family but sometimes they give me more questions than answers. I should probably start from the top by introducing myself.

My name is Isabella Rose Hansen and I am sixteen years old. I was named after my Aunt Bella who my mother named me after because she wanted me to be named after one of the strongest women in the world. The Cullen's aren't technically my family though I consider them my own. You see my mother Amy was engaged to my father before he was killed coming home from the war. After he died the Cullen's took my mother in, and soon after she met my father Derik.

Though Derik is also not my biological family I consider him my dad. He's always been there for me and has been the best father a girl could ask for. I always wondered what my real father was like. I wondered if he was anything like me or if he ever loved me.



My mother said that he always loved me and that I looked a lot like him. I actually think I look more like my mother. We basically have all the same features accept for my eye color which is blue like my father Zac.

I've never told anyone but I constantly dream about my real father. I feel like when I'm dreaming I can say anything I want and ask anything I want. I always feel like he's guiding me and protecting me. Every time I feel like life is too much to handle I dig out old pictures of him and just dream about what life might have been like if he were still alive.

Ever since I was little I also always dreamed about finding the love of my life. My entire life I've always been surrounded my romance. Every single person in my family has found their life mate and are still deeply in love. I secretly hope that when I turn seventeen in a couple weeks that it will happen to me just like it happened to Aunt Bella; well maybe not exactly.

In my life I have already had a Jacob. His name was Kyle and we started dating when I was fourteen. He was very sweet and charming but yet I always yearned for something deeper. Kyle never swept me off my feet or made me truly happy. Being in a relationship him always felt so suffocating and uncomfortable. When he told me that he loved me I knew that in some way I did love him, but not like the love that he wanted or required.

I broke up with him and had to admit I did not reciprocate the same feelings. After we broke up Kyle began acting very weird around me at school. He would be perfectly fine one minute and then he would turn into a creepy stalker the next. He continued to listen into my conversations and follow me everywhere until my family confronted him. Now he won't even come within five feet of me.

My family is very unique and different from others. Most families are human while a few selected ones are vampires. It's very strange that my family never ages but at the same time it's kind of 

cool. My whole life I've been raised by a family consisting of almost all teenage vampires who have all lived the same experiences as me many times over.

My other family consists of some of the werewolves and my friends. All of my best friends are actually sons and daughters of my Aunt Natalie and Megen. My aunt Megen has six children, three sons and three daughters, and often asks me to babysit. She unfortunately for her is married to Jacob, and so out of pity I do babysit. Her first three children are all my age while her other three children just turned two. Their daughters Andrea and Kali and son Sam who are the oldest have always been my best friends.

My Aunt Natalie surprised everyone when she met and fell in love with a vampire whom she met at my parent's wedding. Joshua, who was one of my father's best friends was introduces to my aunt when he saw her across the room and asked her to dance. They danced the entire night and ended up falling passionately in love. They decided to adopt two daughters and one son. Their names are Kendra and Lizzie while their son is Kyle. The break up made a sort of breech between all of us but Lizzie and Kendra still remain my close friends.

I still can't believe that I'm turning seventeen in two weeks. I hope that my wish really does come true. I hope I truly do meet my Edward.

Okay now that we have the background on Izzy do you guys want me to jump into the love story? R&R and let me know if you even want me to continue this story. Thanks again guys.
