Hello! I have decided to venture out and try something new. This story takes place in Eclipse and so forth.

This is my first story in awhile and I have some big plans for it. I hope the first chapter intrigues you. Thank you and enjoy.

"You didn't need to come and get me from the Cullen's, dad" Bella said while sitting in the passenger side of her father's car. She wasn't mad, just a little annoyed her father felt it necessary to look after her all the time.

"It's storming outside and I didn't want Edward to have to drive home in this storm, I was close enough anyways since I was talking with Harry and Billy." Charlie didn't turn his head to look at Bella, the road was slick and the rain was coming down furiously making it hard to hear in the car.

The two continued to ride in silence, the normal for Charlie and Bella. You would think after living together for the past year they would have managed to find a more comfortable way to keep small talk going.

A few minutes passed when Bella spoke again, her voice loud, "Dad, stop the car, now!"

Charlie slammed on the breaks of the car, not questioning his daughter. In this type of weather one would normally go flying, the standing water on the roads not allowing a car to stop suddenly. However, Charlie was already going incredibly slow for the weather, the car slowly rolled to a stop.

Charlie then saw what his daughter had moments before. He ripped off his seat buckle and threw open the car door. Bella followed suit and into the middle of the road with her father.

There in the eye of the storm a body lay in the middle of the road, a girl thin and frail. Her wild silver hair soaking, covering her face and tangled on the ground. Her rib cage moved up and down slowly, she was breathing but not too well.

"This storm is horrid, my phone has no service." Bella said while holding her phone out. By now both Charlie and Bella were soaking, they had only been out of the car for a few minutes, if that was not any indication of how bad the storm was the constant crack of thunder was certainly the better indication of the storms vicious strength. To add, the only light they had was from the car and from the lightning that streaked the sky.

Charlie knew he couldn't hesitate long, he bent down to pick the girl up in his arms. She was light and didn't make a noise as he moved her to the backseat of the car. Charlie uncovered her face from her hair, her eyes shut, her face expressionless.

"Will she be okay?" Bella asked as she climbed into the back to be next to the girl.

"She's breathing and I haven't noticed any blood. Let's just get her to the hospital." Charlie began to drive, faster than before but still at a steady pace.

Arriving at the hospital Charlie held the girl in his arms as he entered through the Emergency Room doors. The first person he spotted was Carlisle, working the night shift as per usual.

Carlisle rushed to their side, "Who is she?" He asked as he held out his arms, Charlie transferring the limp girl to Carlisle. The three of them, Bella, Carlisle, and Charlie went to an empty hospital bed and laid her in it. Carlisle began to check her vitals while they talked.

"I don't know," Charlie started.

"We just found her in the middle of the road." Bella finished.

"Lucky no one ran her over, it must have been hard to see out there in this storm," Carlisle looked the two over, they both were soaking wet and couldn't be comfortable in their clothes. However there concern with the stranger outweighed their own comfort.

"She has hypothermia, weak pulse, shallow breathing, low body temperature," Carlisle disappeared for a moment then came back with a nurse, "get her changed and then wrap her up in warm blankets. Keep me updated about any change in her vitals." Carlisle then escorted Bella and Charlie over to the check in station.

"Charlie, you two should go home and get changed. As you know, any Jane Doe will need some paperwork and possible police questioning. Especially with the recent disappearances," Carlisle alluded the case Charlie knew about and working on, the people who were going missing or turning up dead in the Seattle area, "However, I rather have you two warmed up and it's getting late. I will keep you updated if anything changes. Come by in the morning when you have time, okay?" Carlisle advised Charlie.

The two left and Carlisle continued his work, returning back to the girl once the nurse came to him to let him know that she had woken up.

Pulling the curtain aside Carlisle approached the girl who was now sitting up in bed, her pale blue eyes were scanning the room. She had a look crossed between horrified and mystified. "Hello there, I am Doctor Carlisle Cullen, but you can call me Carlisle," he spoke softly to the girl, her eyes now scanning him, "do you know your name?"

She was silent at first, staring at him without blinking. She then seemed to process his words, her face getting a little softer. She moved her mouth without saying a word a couple of times before the words came out of her mouth, "It's," She paused again, "I think it's Adelaide?"

"Adelaide. That's a pretty name, it suits you." Carlisle smiled at her gently, a dashing smile, "Do you know where you were found or how you got there?"

Adelaide didn't speak, she just looked down at her thin fingers. She weaved her fingers in between each other for a moment before she finally shook her head.

"My friend found you in the road in the middle of a storm. Can you not remember how you got there?" He asked again

"No," She said, still not meeting his eyes.

"Do you remember anything? Where your family is? Your last name?"

Adelaide finally looked up at Carlisle, sadness in her eyes, "I don't remember anything."

This was a lie though, which almost hurt Adelaide to tell this kind doctor, but the truth wasn't possible to explain. Carlisle had a keen sense of when someone was telling lies, especially when it came to patience of his. But even this vampire could not detect a lie while staring in her beautiful blue eyes.
