A/N: Hey!! Thanks for reading! I hope you like it. Here is the first chapter(Sorry it's short. I'll be longer next chapter. Promise!) to Never Let Go.
Chapter 1. New places and New faces.
The snow fell slowly in Juneau, Alaska as the Cullen family packed their things. "I can't believe we are going back. What will it be like?" "Just as before Bella. Just new people." Edward said while stroking her arm. "Yeah. New people." Nessie said comforting her mother. "I can't wait! I'll be able to see the pack again!" Jacob rejoiced. It seemed all were happy to be going back to Forks, Washington. All except for me. For I've never been, and I know I do not belong there. I've been with Cullens for 40 years and I feel as though I was there when it all happened. But do I truly belong there? Do I belong with this family? In their home? "Taylor, It's going to be fine. You are going to love it there. Forks is our home." Edward said while putting the last of the stuff in the car. We were ready. All of us. Edward, Bella, Jacob and Nessie went in Edwards Volvo. Rose, Emmett, Jasper and Alice took Emmett's Jeep. Carlisle and Esme had gone ahead two weeks before to settle in and renew the place as Esme put it. I, on the other hand, decided to run to the airport. I love being by myself. It gives me time to think alone.
When we arrived in Forks everyone all but screamed with excitement. We were able to move back in the old house. It looked just as I had seen. Which puzzled me. I didn't know their memories would be so accurate. See, I can read peoples minds, like Edward. But like Renesmee I can put thoughts in their heads but without touching them. It's like they can read my mind if I want them to. So I had seen the small town of Forks, seen what it was like for Edward when he met Bella and everything they went through.
But I didn't know it would feel quite like this. Like I was here when it all happened. "Strange isn't it?" Alice was leaning up against the wall in the front room. "Yes. I feel like I've been here before. I could close my eyes and know exactly where I'm going." "I know how you feel. And not just because I've been here before." Alice chuckled. "When I first saw Jazz it felt like I knew him my whole life." " I didn't have any visions and it felt just the same to me." Jasper said while putting his arms around his wife's waist. Alice laughed as they walked up the stairs hand in hand. I envied every ones relationships. In all my 50 years of immortality I have not found love. My other half. My soul mate. It just wasn't out there for me. I would be the loner. And I was fine with that. I loved to be alone. "So school starts tomorrow! How excited are you guys?" Esme asked excitedly. "Oh fun…. more school." Rosalie moaned.
It was nearly time to go to school. I took one last look in the mirror. I was average height, about 6 feet. My dark blond hair was in a tangle of a mess on my head. I tried combing it out a little. My round face and golden eyes were perfect like always. I was going to ride with the guys in Edward's car while the girls went in Rosalie's car. Nessie was going to school on the reservation with Jacob. Something seemed off about Alice this morning though. No, no, no! Why can't I see! Ugh, Jacob! Why must he live here! Alice paced back and forth in human speed. "What's with Alice?" Jacob asked as he walked through the front door and entered the living room. "Jacob could you please stay at Sam's house tonight. Please?" "Okay okay! What's this about?" Jacob asked confused. "Nothing."
What is she doing? What does she want?
Alice, what is it? I thought to her.
Oh nothing. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and,
Great. Alice was quoting The Declaration of Independence. What was she blocking out? Alice ran up stairs and into her room. "Okay then…Hey Nes! You wanna go out for lunch?" Jacob asked "Sure thing! Where to?" "Well, I was thinking…" I slowly drifted out, trying to read Alice's mind to see what I missed. Oh there was something. She had a vision. Of what though? "Okay lets go! Every one in the car I'm leaving now." Alice quickly said while walking to the car clearly trying to block me out. "Its my car." Rose said. "Whatever, get in." Everyone stared at each other for a second then we all piled in the cars and went off to school.

Lunch. Nothing like having to sit in a room full of blood with nothing to do.
Taylor. Oh yeah Edward.
Sorry. I know keep focused they are people with lives and families.
Yes, exactly.
What was with Alice this morning? She had a vision but what about? What's going to happen?
She is keeping it even from me Taylor. We will just have to wait and see.
Right.
Edward shifted from his seat as Bella came to sit beside him. "What are you two thinking about? You know it's not fair to keep things secret." "Yes, dear. It was nothing." "Sure, sure." We were all sitting at one table except for Alice. She said she was going out to think at lunch. What was bothering her so much? I looked up then and that is when it happened. I saw this girl. Staring at me. Who was she? What did she want? She didn't look away. She just stared at me. Oh, are they new here? Hmm. The human girl thought. "Taylor what is it?" Bella asked when she saw my puzzled expression, but I couldn't answer. It was like I was locked in. Taylor she wants to talk to you. Listen. I heard Alice think to me. I turned my head to Edward. "Did you hear Alice?" "Yes, I did." "You should listen to the girl." Edward thought.
I looked back over to where the girl was only to see she wasn't there. I search the room to only find her walking toward my table. Walking toward me. She was smiling brightly as she walked. It's alright. Alice thought, I've already seen it. This should be very interesting. Alice giggled in her head. The human girl then stood not five feet away from me. "Hello, My name is Elaina White. You can call me Elle or Ellie or whatever you want. Are you guys new here?" "Yes, we are. Our father Carlisle just got a job here as a doctor. I'm Taylor Cullen this is Edward, Bella, Jasper Rosalie, Emmett, and Alice just left" I said while motioning to my brothers and sisters. Dr. Carlisle? No way these are his kids. The girl, Elaina thought."Really? ? He looks far too young to have teen age children." "Yes well we are all adopted." "Really? I'm in foster care right now. It's pretty hard." She admitted. "Yes well we know what you are going through. Have you met Carlisle?" "Oh, uh," oh no. What am I supposed to say? I didn't think I'd run into the doc's kids. "Yes, um, I went and volunteered at the hospital yesterday afternoon." "Oh, that's nice." Why was she lying? What did she have to hide? Just then the bell rang loud and clear. "Oh well I guess I'll see you around! Bye Taylor." She said quickly walking away.
"What was that?" Emmett asked as we all rose and threw away our food, which we hadn't even touched, of course. "I don't know. Her mind was…strange." I said while watching her walk away. Her mind was very different than any other human mind I'd heard. "We need to find Alice. She will know what that was about." What if she knows something about us? Rose thought. "No, that can wait. Let's finish school." Edward said and then he strode to his next class and the rest of us followed his lead.
* * *
I didn't see Elaina after that. And as school ended and it was time to go home I thought of the questions I was going to ask Alice. What had Alice seen this morning? Was it this girl? Who was this girl? This Elaina White? And what was she hiding? When we got home we all met in the front room. Esme, Carlisle and Alice sat on the couch. Rosalie went to where Emmett was on the recliner and sat on his lap. Bella and Edward sat on the other couch across from Carlisle. Jasper went to sit next to Alice. Renesmee and Jacob were not home yet. I stood leaning against the wall. "Alice please explain to the rest of the family what you told to me." Carlisle told Alice. "I had a vision of Jane. She was coming here but the Volturi didn't send her. She came on her own. She came for Taylor." "Then I will leave. I will go far from here and hide." I said quickly. I was not going to put this family in harms way. "No Taylor. You are apart of this family. We stand together. We will fight together." Carlisle said. "She does not want to fight. She wants to talk to you, Taylor. Just talk. But it would help if Bella protected us with her shield. She holds grudges." "Okay, well when is she coming?" Bella asked. "In two minutes." What? "Why didn't you tell us sooner Alice?" Edward demanded. "I'm sorry, I didn't not know when she would be here till two minutes." "That doesn't matter. What does she want to talk about?" I asked. "That I don't know. She hasn't decided, or she is just trying to block me." "What does she want with me? I've never met her!" "Your about to find out. Here she comes." Alice said not two seconds before there was knock at the door.
I stood there for a second before walking to the door and opening it. "Hello?" I asked when the door was open. "Taylor? You look so different." "Please Jane come in." Edward said as he came up behind me. We went in to the front room and sat down. "Jane Why are you here? And how do you know Taylor? Edward asked her. "Well, it's a very long story. And I would rather talk to Taylor alone." "I don't think that would be such a good idea-" "No it's okay Edward. Jane follow me." I said a I stood up and walked out side the house. She rose too and followed my lead and we ran deep into the woods but just enough for Edward to still hear us. "Edward please tell the family everything that you hear." "Okay." "Jane. What do you want with me? How do you know me?" "Its very strange. And you have to be open-minded. I know you and your coven don't like me. But surely you must remember me a little bit. And you would not hate me if you remembered what I did. How I saved you." "Saved me?"
" Yes. Taylor. I found you. I turned you into a vampire."
