Losing and imprinting.

Alexis loses her mother and finds out about her real family, while living with them she faces the biggest fight of her life and is imprinted on by a very special wolf...' I knew it was the right choice because if I died at least he lived' Will she be able to protect all that she loves while trying to stay in control of who she is? Or will the life she is pulled into fall apart; this follows her story as she discovers who she is and where she belongs in a world that is pulling at her. This is set two years after breaking dawn with original parings. Rated T for now but may change later on, I will warn you if need be. I'm going to move along fast in this story so lots of days will be skipped at a time to get to the important big bang part.


"Mum where are we going?" I asked again for the fifth time since we left Seattle and you know what I was growing tired of being ignored by her, it was out of character and my frustration was reaching its boiling point. Ok so we were always moving around and never in the same place for too long, but not once did she ever hesitate in telling me where we were going and over these past few days she's been so on edge, so different.

"Somewhere safe" She finally caved in

I gave her a funny look from my side of the car, I could see she was going well over the speed limit, but that wasn't why I was giving her the look; for one she didn't answer my question in a way that made since and I swear I could see tears in her eyes, but it just had to be the moon light, I've never known her to cry or show any signs of weakness like that before.

I frowned over at her "What? Mum what's going on? Where are we going?"

"Do you really want to know?"

I rolled my eyes "I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know"

I watched as she drew in a deep breath and let out a long sigh, her eyes darted across the empty, wet road.

"Alexis dear what do you think I do for a job?"

"Ahh...you're a free lance photographer that's why we travel so much, right?" I started to chew on my lip. All of a sudden it felt like I didn't know what my mother had been doing for the past sixteen years of my life, but there wasn't anything else she could do, I mean why would you lie about something like that for?

"It's only a hobby; it's not what I really do" Her eyes darted to me then back to the road "Alexis do you believe in monsters"

I stopped chewing my lip and looked at her my face blank "What?"

"Answer the question"

I sighed, I had a very bad feeling that my world was about to change "Not really"

"Love you should start believing because my job involves hunting and killing them"

I started to laugh, what else was I meant to do? I'm pretty sure my mother just lost her mind. A hunter that hunts and kills monsters, that's real believable. I stopped laughing when I saw how serious her face was and I suddenly knew she wasn't lying. My skin started too crawl and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat

"What the hell is going on mum?"

Her grip on the wheel tightened "I've lied to you for so long, but that ends tonight and I don't have long to explain. Tonight's events are already set in motion. Vampires, werewolves and demons are all real and I have faced and killed many to keep you and the world safe, I'm not the only one who does this but there are few of us"

My head was reeling at what little she had said, how could this all be true? But what was she talking about 'tonight's events are already in motion'?

"What do you mean tonight's events?"

"A few years back you were taken and the only way to get you back was to make a deal and that deal was my life for you back. Tonight they come, tonight I will leave you"

Tears filled my eyes as I decided that I had had enough of her joke and to be honest I was getting pissed off, why was she lying about something like this? It wasn't funny "Stop lying to me!"

"Child, Alexandra calm down and except it"

I went into full out pout mode; I hated to be called a child and having my full name used wasn't a good sign and this situation didn't help anything either.

"Now let me finish because things are going to get weirder, as you would say." She smiled at that word like she always did which I found to be strange "I'm older then you think, with hunting these creatures it allows me to somehow live longer , but it's more then that something happened to my genes to change them and make me different. I'm 91, I was born May 13th 1918 the very same year my mother died of the Spanish influenza, I remember the day I was born and everything that followed, I even had an older brother who went missing and so I went to live with Aunt Jody, it was her that got me into hunting."

I felt the blood drain from my face, she was off her rocker, and no one could be that old and look like they were only 30. I didn't say anything, I couldn't because then I might just have to get her locked up for her own safety.

"You still don't believe me" She sighed "Give me your hand Alexandra and I will show you"

I didn't even look at her as I gave her my hand. Like this would prove anything. Our hands connect and a warm heated feeling spread from our contact to the rest of my body, images were flashing through my eyes, they were all mums' memories. I saw from the day she was born, her brother, everything she's ever killed, my father, my birth, when I was kidnapped and so much more, it was too much. She let go of my hand and I grasped my head breathing heavy. It was pounding like it was going to exploded; it felt like my hands were the only thing keeping it together.

"That can't be possible, it...it...What the hell mum! Why have you lied? Why are you doing this to me?"

"It was to protect you, everything I've every done was to protect you. And tonight I'm taking you to my brother and your father. He lives on the La Push reservation while my brother, your uncle lives in Forks. You should be staying with him, your father isn't well enough to handle you; he had an accident that didn't leave him capable to handle someone of your nature. I've been watching both families and I know that it will be hard for you, it's hard for me to believe I'm leaving you with them, but they are good people"

"But I don't know these people mum, why do I have to stay with them?"

"Because what is coming for me I don't want to have them hurt you. Your father was married when I gave birth to you that is why he was never around; don't blame him it was my choice. He has two daughters and a son who is a werewolf and my brother has a wife and daughter, his family are vampires."

I looked at her dumbfounded "What the fuck mum. You really think I would live with either vampires or werewolves that I don't know, I mean even if they are these things" I know I swore but that was the least of my worries right now, like my mother actually believing this, even though she had somehow showed me everything and that she had killed them and truly believed this, I didn't want too.

She ignore my last comment anyway "They are your family now and I expect you to treat them with respect. Your father is Billy Black and I spoke to him about this so he knows, the Cullen's however don't. My brother is Edward and he will be a good uncle to you, like a father"

"If they don't believe you give them this bag" She pointed to a bag next to my own "This has everything they would need to confirm who you are and that you are indeed related to them, there is also something in there for you when they think you're ready to read it and letters for them to read if I don't get to see them tonight and explain" She paused and looked over at me "Honey I know this is a lot but over time you will remember things clearly as I had some of your memories blocked away, but know that there isn't one day that I have ever doubted that you are the best thing and reason my life has"

She wasn't lying, at this point I had stopped caring about where I was going and what she believed, I was only fixated on the fact that my mother said she was going to leave me to, what? Die... "Mum you can't die, I need you, there has to be a way"

She placed her hand on my shaking one; I hadn't realized I had been shaking "Shh my baby. I know this is hard and I have tried every way to get out of this but there isn't and I would always trade my life to save you"

"No" I whispered, I couldn't handle anymore.

"Oh my baby girl, you will have a good life with these people they will look after you. Edward already has a child, your cousin so don't fear and it was only two years ago that his wife Bella was human, you will be fine"

"I don't want to live without you mum"

"I know"

Nothing more was said. I was gland for that because I didn't know if I could handle anymore, but I was sad too because I wanted to hear her voice, I didn't want this to be the end. I couldn't stop the tears and I was so tired but I refused to sleep, it didn't help when mum started to sing. I kept stealing glancing at her every now and then and sometimes I caught her doing the same. As I glanced out the front window I saw something big on the road, like some kind of animal and mum was heading right for it

"MUM! On the road, look out!" I screamed

She reacted fast and put the brakes on, turning the wheel at the same time missing the animal that was no longer there, but forcing us onto the other side of the road. I was breathing heaving and froze when I saw head lights heading our way. I grabbed my mums' hand for some type of comfit as the sound of metal crunching filled my ears, my head flew forward and pain exploded through my head as I screamed in pain. The car flipped and I was sure it was over but the car kept going, the glass was breaking and cutting into my skin, I felt myself fly out of the car to land on the ground, I landed wrong and felt my arm sprain and I'm sure a rib or two broke. Then it was over, I layed there for I don't know how long trying to control myself

"Mum? Mum?" I was breathing hard and trying to see past the stars and black patches that was in my site, the rain was cold and hurt my skin, I rolled onto my good arm and tried to stand, it was painful and my head and ribs hurt, I could feel the blood all over me as I stumbled towards the burning car, I could see the truck as it exploded, sending heat my way that made me wince. I could see my mum in the front set and she was breathing, I don't know how I managed it but before I knew it I had the two bags and my mother away from the car

"Mum, can you hear me" She stirred as I said her name and opened her eyes

She sat up seeming to recover "Hey baby, I'm so sorry. Come lie down, you'll be ok I promise" I didn't complain I just put my head down as I felt her lift my top to see the damage as I felt her hands move over my ribs. It was so hard to stay awake all I wanted to do was close my eyes, I could feel her running her hands though my hair. "Don't go to sleep Alexis" I pushed my eyes open to look at her, my eyes unfocused making it seem like there was two of her. How could she be ok? Was she not injured? My body hurt too much to even try and process it, and my eyes closed. All too soon I felt a cold hand on me and a worried voice

"Can you hear me" I tried to open my eyes but it was fuzzy and I couldn't see straight, I sighed when I heard my mother speak

"Don't bite her she will be fine and don't bite me, it will not save me"

"How do you know?"

I was in pain, scared and cold. I wanted to go home "Help please"

"Of course, I'll take you home. My god the blood" I opened my eyes to see a burled blonde lady blocking her nose as she lifted me and then I was in the car in seconds. How did she do that? I was lying against my mother in the back seat, I was so tired but I didn't want to sleep what if she was dead when I woke up?

"Child rest now, you will see me before the end"

I cradled my injured hand against me and turned to grab her hand to comfort me as I tried to rest without sleeping, it irritated my ribs but I didn't care about that. I was slightly aware about being passed from one person to another; they all seemed to have cold hands but it helped with the heat that exploded from my injuries. I was aware when someone started to work on my arm, head, ribs and every other place that was injured, when warm wet cloths washed over me. I was aware of talking and some pain as others argued. I was aware when I was wrapped in a blanket and a male's voice that sounded like honey tried to wake me. I didn't want to wake; things would become real then, things I wasn't ready to accept. I wanted to remain unconscious. Images of my mothers' memories over took me and I tried hard to concentrate on what I was seeing but my head hurt too much and everything passed me in a blur, I suddenly didn't want to remain in my state and the man's voice had grown thick with concern, I didn't want him to worry anymore so I let his voice guide me.

"Alexandra can you hear me? Please wake up"

I mound as I tried to open my eyes and stretch, I couldn't move my arm that faced away from the man and then I realized that it had a bandage around it and there was a slow, hard throbbing in my head that was bloody irritating. My eyes flicked open to face the man, after a few seconds his face came into focus and I nearly screamed as an image formed in my mind from my mother. It was her brother, but the eyes were different. What the hell?

"Uncle Edward?" My mother had taught me to give people there proper titles when required even when I didn't know them myself, she was always weird like that.

A smile lined his mouth that was slightly crooked but it didn't reach his eyes "Indeed it turns out that I am your uncle. My dear sister told me everything"

His words sparked my hazy mind. Mum? Is she dead? God how long have I been out?

"Please don't strain yourself; you took quite a blow to the head. You have been out for only a couple of hours and your mother has been waiting for you to wake, she made quite a recovery"

I looked up at him puzzled. Had I said all that out loud?

"No you didn't. I have the strange ability to read minds"

"Oh right then...Where is my mum?"

"I'm right here" My heart jumped and I looked around to see my mother by the window, I wanted to run to her but there was something in her face that told me not to do that and my newly found uncle was still holding me

"Mum are you alright" Tears filled my eyes. I can feel it, this is it.

"I'm alright but I must leave this place before they come." She smile her smiled that always seemed to lift the room

"Please don't leave"

She shook her head and looked so sad to put me in pain "I will always be with you, whenever you need me I will be here. Your father and half brother are down stairs. I have already had a word to them and shown them what is in the bag, what is left is for your eyes" She started to make her way to me before she continued "I have no doubt in my mind that you will be happy here and discover who you really are. I'm so proud of you, I know this is hard but this isn't goodbye this is only see you later my love."

She looked hard into Edwards eyes "So Ed after all these years we finally meet. I didn't think this would be the way I would meet my big brother but oh well. Mother and father would be proud of the life you have created for yourself and may I say that your daughter is beautiful and I expect you to look after my baby girl like she was one of your own"

I watched as he nodded his head "Of course I will, I will do what I need too to keep her safe"

She laughed again and looked at me "Oh you're going to have a hard time getting away with anything my dear."

What the hell! She's leaving me and she's laughing about something I don't even understand. I felt numb inside and frowned at her

"Don't let this effect you, move on quickly. Have fun with your life and be respectful to your father and uncle"

"Yes mum" I whispered. I would do anything for my mother. She took my hands in hers and I felt something move in me but I wasn't sure. It must be my head, she took out a beautiful silver charm bracelet and placed it around my wrist, I studied it closely. There was a star, moon, arrow, harp, bird and rose. It was pretty and I loved it. I felt my mother touch my cheek and I heard her say I love you. I said it back but when I looked up she was gone.

"Where did she go?"

I looked up into my new guardians eyes "Away Alexandra, away" I sighed and hugged him closer; he looked a little like mum and I loved that fact. They had the same run away hair, mums was more tamed then his. The hair must run in the family because my hair was the same only darker. I had the same green that I had seen in his and mothers eyes but around my pupil I had a brown that blended with the green. I assumed I gained that from my father. The only other thing that I could see was that we had the same mouth shape. I could see a lot ran in the family. I smiled at our colour difference, I wasn't as dark as a native but I was darker then his pale skin. Then something mum had said in the car came to mind 'Vampires'

Uncle can you hear me?

He looked down "Yes Alexandra I can now. You seem to be able to block me when you want"

Oh, sorry and can you call me Alexis please? I only ever hear my full name when I'm not listening or being told off

He laughed "Don't be, though it is different and if you wish to be called Alexis then that is what I will call you, until I'm telling you off or you aren't listening" He smirked down at me and I sighed

I just came right out and said it Are you a vampire? I couldn't say the words out loud not yet. I was still reeling and blocking out my mothers' leaving so that it wouldn't hurt me

"Yes I am. Are you scared?"

I thought about that for awhile trying to decide, he looked a little frustrated. Even though I had only meet him I didn't feel scared at all

"No I'm not"

He smiled "Good. Now let's go, everyone is waiting to meet you"

I rolled my eyes "Great" I wonder if they had any pain killers, my head and ribs are killing me

"You need some pain killers. I can get Carlisle to give you some"

I forgot about the mind reading thing, I could tell this is going to piss me off from time to time. I looked down and around "Yes please"

I felt him chuckle. Wonder what's so funny. I know that I had just woken up but I was dog tired and I was missing mum, I wanted to cry but not in front of him or whoever else was here besides I was going to meet my father, something I've dreamed of for years. I closed my eyes for a second, I was sure, and as I felt a breeze against me I heard a hushed silence, I knew then I was in a different room with people. I felt shy which was different for me so I huddled closer to my uncle

"Look she's just as shy as Bella was" A booming voice and laugh filled the silence along with a loud smack. I felt my uncle growl. Vampires can growl?

"Leave her alone Emmett she's had a hard night"

"Gee sorry"

I sighed. Thank you uncle

"Of course, now when you're ready"

I looked out from my uncle as he placed me on a couch, careful not to hurt me. I was a tiny bit dizzy as I looked up to see ten faces staring down at me, seven had pale skin and yellow eyes and a pair of brown eyes while the other two where darker skin; one was extremely tall and the other was in a wheel chair. More images from my mothers' memories flashed through my mind, I started to blink rapidly as I registered with who everyone was and how they came to be. My mother really did her research. I signed and blinked some tears away; I really was going to miss her.

"My sister did do her research well" Edward stated in agreement "She is very much like our mother, always getting all the information before hand. She showed me everything before she left, she loved you very much"

I smiled up at him "Thank you uncle. I'm sorry everyone for just showing up"

A lady with caramel hair and a very mothering vibe stepped forward and sat down to hold me "Dear it is our pleasure to have you here. I'm-"

"Esme I know and thank you" I smiled at her warmth

"Who saved me?"

"That was me" I looked over to the beautiful blonde woman; Rosalie married to Emmett the big one. Both their past histories filled my mind and I felt like I knew them.

"Thank you so much Rosalie" I stood up shakily and walked over to her and basically fell on her because of my weak legs and I gave her a hug, my head resting on her shoulder. I notice that everyone seemed a bit tense at this, and slowly I felt her arms make their way softly around me, she mustn't do this often. I'm even sure I heard a few people gasp at it. I smiled up at her and turned painfully and slowly back towards the couch where she helped me sit back down next to Esme. An older looking blonde male stepped forward; he was very good looking and didn't appear to be that much older. Carlisle...

"Alexandra"

"Alexis Carlisle" I smiled as Edward corrected the use of my name

"Oh... Alexis I would like to welcome you to the family. I am Carlisle and Esme is my wife, these are our children: Rosalie and Emmett, Jasper and Alice and finally Edward and Bella and their beautiful baby Renesmee"

I nodded at each of them and held eyes with Renesmee, she was a cutie "Hello"

"Oh Carlisle can you give my niece some pain relief"

"Oh of course" He disappeared and was back in seconds with pills and water, shocking me with his suddenly appearance, but I took what he offered. I wonder when they were going to get to my father and half brother. Just as I thought that I heard the wheels of his chair move and a clearing of the throat

"Alexis"

I looked over at him calling my name and I saw the similarity I have from him and in my older brother immediately. My skin was lighter but that was to be expected, the little bit of brown that was in my eyes was the colour of theirs; my hair colour was like theirs too and my nose. I had never had a big family and my mind was already accepting them as my that, my family.

"Hi dad" Nothing more was said he just came closer and pulled me into a hug, like he was trying to put all the missed hugs over the last sixteen years into this one hug. My eyes filled with tears, only one fell before I stopped them

"I'm so sorry I've never been there for you but you must understand"

"Don't worry dad, I do understand"

"I did love your mother and you very much but I had another I loved. I'm so sorry that she's gone"

"So am I" I whispered

The boy beside him cleared his throat "Hi Alexis" He had an amused looking smile on his face, but I thought I could see something else "You know I always wanted a little sister, I'm Jacob by the way and welcome to the family sis"

"Thanks Jake I'm sorry if I've ruined anything for you and you're family"

"Na you don't need to worry about it, we're all pretty accepting. You'll be fine and we have something in common..."

I gave him a puzzled looked, I could see in his eyes he had a faraway look and I knew straight away he had lost someone he loved

"What is that?" my mind was starting to numb now from the drags and things were becoming more clear but there was something in the way he looked that made me a little scared to know what he was trying to say

"We've both lost our mothers'"

"Oh...I'm sorry..." I trailed off as he shrugged. The thought of my mother dead and gone sent a different kind of pain shooting though me and I wished that I was alone to allow the tears to fall freely but I wasn't and I wanted to be strong in front of these people and I desperately hoped Edward couldn't hear me now. It was comforting to know that Jacob knew what I was going through and if he could make it then so could I.

"Alexis I know this is hard but you're mother made arrangements for you to stay with us if that's OK"

I looked at Esme and nodded my head "I'll do what my mother wanted, as long as you don't mind"

"Of course we don't, humans are so much fun" I looked at the one known as Emmett and gave him a funny look

"You're weird" I said out loud and everyone laughed

Edward's little girl walked up to me and gave me a big smile "Hi Alexis, you're my cousin right" She jumped onto the couch and sat next to me

"Hi there Renesmee, and ah yes I am"

She laughed a sweet bell like laugh "Everyone calls me Nessy"

Thoughts rushed into my mind "Because of Jake right"

"Yeah how did you know?"

I tapped my nose and said nothing; she took a hold of my arm and nestled in. I sighed and lent my head back

"Alexis when you feel better you can meet one of your sisters, they know about you already and would love to meet"

"OK dad" I mumbled through a yawn

"Come on guys let my little sis rest" I laughed at that to myself. I felt Edward pick me up again

"Come on, Bella and I can take you to bed" I nodded my head

"Come on Nessy"

I felt bed covers around me in no time and snuggled into them

"I really am sorry about everything, would you like us to stay for a while?" I felt Nessy crawl up beside me and rest, how could I say no now

"Yes please"

Both Edward and Bella sat at the end of the bed. I didn't even know whose room it was "Aunt Bella wont you guys or someone need this bed?"

She shook her head and spoke quietly to me "No, we don't sleep" Before I could ask anything more Edward started to hum, as I drifted the tears ran down my face and I feel asleep to a dreamless place thanks to the wonderful pills Carlisle hard provided.

A week went by after that and I adapted to Cullen life pretty quickly, I bonded with everyone fast and my injuries got better, my ribs were still broken but my wrist didn't hurt, my cuts were pretty good and my head was fine. Jacob and Billy came around to see me and we grew close pretty fast. In one week I went from not knowing my family to having more than I ever wanted, it came at a cost of losing my mother though. Jake and I shared moments about this subject which was helping me a lot. When my real dad wasn't around I had both Edward and Carlisle looking out for me and if anything Edward was more protective then anyone I've ever meet. I went shopping with Alice and Rosalie to get me some clothes because apparently what I had wasn't good enough, they even gave me Edward's room to stay in. Bella was still getting use to the whole aunty thing and Emmett and Jasper were having a good time being evil big brothers, Jake even got in on the action, so they were like my three big brothers, even Rosalie was being nice to me, something that doesn't usually happen according to Jake. So in all everything was going good.

"Hey Jake" I said stretching my words out as I sat next to him, feeling the heat coming off of him even though I wasn't that close

"What's up Alexis?"

"Just wondering when I get to see you as a wolf and why you haven't had any friends around"

He stopped playing with Nessy and looked over at me "Well I haven't had friends over because I wanted you to settle in and for me and Billy to get to know you"

I nodded my head that was understandable and sweet, I smiled at him "And I haven't shown you or told you anything about my being a wolf because I didn't want to freak you out, yet" He gave me a cheeky smile

"Please could you show me?" I begged him, doing my best puppy eyes

He sighed "OK I'll show you later but only cause you're my sister"

I smiled and gave him a hug, we really had become brother and sister over the week, we were more alike than I ever imaged. I started to tap my chin

"Oh no you have that look"

I looked at Jake "What look?"

"The same look I get when you're up to something, spill the beans squirt"

I scold at the word squirt but answered anyway "Well I was thinking we should invite some of your friends over that get along with the Cullen's or whatever and have a party or something"

His eyes lit up and I knew I had him "You know I like how you think dear sister"

I smiled "I have my moments. Esme, Alice did you hear that?"

Jake rolled his eyes "How could they not hear"

I pushed him "It's called being polite"

Just then Alice walked in with a huge grin jumping up and down; Esme was smoother and just smiled brightly

"Oh Esme this would be fun, I can't see anything but I have a feeling. If we get things ready now we can be done in time for tonight"

"OK Alice, just remember not to go overboard"

She rolled her eyes "Don't worry Esme there's not going to be any presents"

They walked off and I was left confused "What were they talking about?"

Nessy sat on my lap and placed her palm on my cheek, I saw what I believed to be the pack and question in her mind

"Yeah Nessy I think they should be coming" She clapped her hands and ran to find Bella

"So Jake what was that about?"

He frowned "I don't really know because I wasn't here but two years ago Edward left Bella because of her 18th birthday party disaster, she cut her finger on a piece of paper or something and Jasper tried to kill her"

That was a new piece of information, it was sad but I could see why he left "Shit that's sad"

"Yep, I'll tell you the rest another time, right now I think I should go and inform my pack of our little family party"

I nodded "OK and don't forget to ask dad"

"Don't worry squirt, I'll be back soon" he ruffled my hair and left. I pushed it back down and went to find something to do.

There was actually nothing to do. Alice and Esme had everything sorted; Bella, Edward and Emmett just left to do a little hunting, Jasper was off reading and looking after Nessy and Rosalie was just being called by Alice. I walked up to my room to find something to wear when Alice appeared in front of me smiling

"What's up Alice?"

She picked me up and before I knew it I was in her room "Alexis, Rosalie and I are going to get you ready"

I frowned "How long could that possibly take? Don't you have things to do?"

She laughed as Rose walked in "There already done silly and it starts at seven which is only a few hours away"

I shrugged "Alright then, do with me what you will" I don't think those were the right words to use because they had some very evil, no cunning looks shared between them, it made me a little scared

"Don't worry Alexis I saved you once and if I have to I can do it again, but we will make you so much more beautiful it won't be funny"

"Right then" I kind of went to my happy place after that, I remember the shower and all that but once the makeup and hair shit started to come for me I went to a nice dream land, and they continued to work on me like I was a doll or something, I don't even remember putting the dress on or the shoes I just remember when they said I was done and had me facing a mirror

I gasped in shock at what I saw. I was wearing a short, strapless red dress that was a bit puffy around the bottom and there was a cute black bow tied around my waist, something I wasn't used to wearing because I never had the time to go out like this from all the moving mum and I did, but even I thought it looked hot, it's a good thing I wasn't short my legs looked great. My hair was pinned back and curled down my back, the makeup I was wearing blended perfectly with my skin tone bringing out the right features in my face, making my eyes look like they glowed and popped and my boobs look great. I was speechless at myself

"Wow..."

"Wow, after all that we get a wow" Rose said smiling

"What I meant was thank you, both of you. You did a great job, but why did you do this?"

Alice stared at me like she couldn't believe what I had said "It's a party! Anytime there's a party you have to dress to impress even if there a bunch of wolves"

I laughed "I'm sure I'm going to impress Billy, Jake and Edward"

"To bad for them, this is what girls do"

I felt my cheeks burn "Well thanks guys"

Alice started to jump up and down "Wait here OK, Rose and I have to get ready, we won't be long"

"Ok but I'm going to my room"

She shrugged "Fine but don't go anywhere else or I'll know"

"Yes mum" I muttered under my breath as I left them for my room. It was pretty hard to walk in high heels, if I think about it this would actually have been the first time I've ever worn a pair. After a while I saw movement in the back yard and I looked out to see six very tall, very built, very shirtless guys walking behind my brother. These must be his friends, I already knew why they didn't wear shirts but it was still a little strange. A boy only just (and when I say just I really do mean that) shorter than the rest looked up at me and after a second I quickly ducked away. Alice would be pissed if someone saw me before she was ready, there was something I liked about that boy I saw but I didn't know what it was. There was a knock at my door and I turned to see Edward standing with Alice

"Alice what have you done with my niece?"

"Beautifully amazing right?"

He nodded his head, making me blush and smiled "You look like her"

I frowned "Like who?"

"My mother, a little different of course but it's there, it's good to know I can see her in you, I miss her"

I walked up to him and gave him a hug "Thanks Uncle"

"Anytime, now there was a reason I was here, Billy and Jake want to give you something before the party, there on the second landing"

"OK" before I left Nessy ran into my arms wearing a cute pink dress, I picked her up and walked to the landing and saw Billy and Jake standing close, their mouths dropping open when they saw me, Jake let out a whistle

"Go Alexis, bringing down the house"

"Shut up Jake, but thanks. Hey dad" I said blushing slightly

He smiled and I swear I could see tears "You look beautiful, like your mother" After a second he cleared his throat "Here this is for you"

I opened my hand and he dropped three small charmed bracelet items into my palm, there was a wooden wolf, and two small crests; one wooden and just like the tattoo Jake had on his arm and the other was crystal and in the same shape that the Cullen crest was. I smiled

"Thank you so much" Jake put it on for me and I hugged all of them. That was the final piece to make me feel like family

"That's because you are family Alexis and never doubt that" I smiled at Edward

"Thanks uncle. I own you all the best gifts ever" I said nodding my head.

Bella run up the stairs and into Edward's arms "Hey aunty, have a good hunt?"

She smiled wide as Nessy dropped down from me to go to her "I did thank you. Everyone is downstairs Alice has started the party"

"Now squirt you get to meet my friends"

"It's about time" I said pushing his shoulder.

The music was loud and I could hear it as we made our way to the lounge. Let's get this party started, this event should be fun, I've never been to a party before

I heard a sigh "Now you say that"

"Actually uncle I didn't say anything"

He laughed and shook his head "Well don't worry it will be fun"

"Sure, sure" Both Jake and I said at the same time, we looked at each other and entered as the happy family laughing away. The party had started.
