A/N: I do not own Twilight
Chapter 1: The lost man
BPOV
It was almost Christmas and I was walking down the street when I saw a man lying on the ground, trying to fight off another guy who had a knife. So I decided to go up to the guy with the knife and I said,
"Hay stops picking on that man." The man just laughed and was about to cut the other man's neck when I reacted on impulse and put my own hand in front of the man's face and took the blow from the blade. I went down to the ground because the pain was too much for me to handle. I looked at my hand decided that I did not need stitches. So I stood up, went back to the man and said,
"Are you ok?" The man just looked up at me and nodded his head. I decided to take him back to my house so he could rest up and get a good meal. I told the man that he could come back with me to my own house so he could get out of the cold and the man agreed. When we were inside my house I said,
"There is a razor and a clean towel for you so you can get cleaned up."
"Thank you." The man nodded his head and went upstairs so he could get in the shower. When he was done he came down and I saw that he was handsome.
"Thank you, by the way my named is Edward Cullen and you are?" he said, slightly smiling at me. I just stood there gaping at him but I quickly got my thoughts in order and answered,
"My name is Bella Swan." He nodded his head as that smile of his growing slightly bigger.
"Do you have any family that I could contact and let them know that you are safe?" I asked,
"Yes I do, but could you call them for me please? I don't know if I'll be able to talk to them,"
"Sure no problem, could you just give me the number?" He gave me the number to his house and I dialed it. After 2 rings a voice on the other side of line answered,
"Hello this is the Cullen's house how may I help you?" After I told the man what was wrong he said that they'll try to get there as soon as they could. As soon as I put the phone down and turned to Edward I noticed that he was looking at me with an expression that I could not understand. After a couple of minutes of staring at one another the doorbell rang. I tore my eyes away from him and went to get the door. As soon as I opened them I saw three girls, three boys.
"The Cullen's I presume?" I asked and they all nodded, "Please come in then," When they walked in one of the boys, a big build one said,
"Thank you." When they walked into the living room Edward was standing there with tears in his eyes, everyone, including me, gasped and then his family ran up to him hugging and kissing him. I smiled slightly then went into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. A couple of minutes after I entered the kitchen I heard someone else coming in. I looked up and saw a man with blond hair and bright blue eyes. "Thank you so much for helping our son." He told me,
"No problem. When I see someone in trouble I just can't stand and do nothing so I help," I smiled my best smile at him and he nodded his head. I then asked the man if he and his family had dinner so when he answered no I invited them to eat with me. While we were all eating the whole Cullen family were talking to Edward and asking him question about what happened and then about how pleased they were to have him back safe and sound. After they finished one of the boys, the other blond one, asked,
"How about you?" I looked at him slightly confused as I was not focusing on what they were saying,
"I'm sorry I didn't hear what you asked me," I smiled slightly in an apology,
"What he meant is could you tell us about your life?" one of the woman asked,
"Sure but I have to warn you, it's not exactly a pretty story," I said then took a deep breath and began my story.
