I Know, I know, this story has been done a billion times, but I started writing it before I knew that FanFiction even existed, so, cut me some slack…
I am expecting flames, but, if you do flame me, at least make them semi-intelligent, otherwise I will laugh. Hysterically.
BTW!! This is FemSlash in later characters, with Bella/FemaleOC, so yeah, be all o.O But if you don't like it, don't read it.

"Edward." Bella sobbed miserably, sitting on the damp forest floor. "Come back, please."
"Aww…" A voice broke the serene silence. "Poor wittle Bella has lost her fella."
Bella would have laughed at the lame rhyme, had it not been for the identity of the speaker, so she stiffened. "Victoria."
"Long time no smell." The red-headed vampire stated cheerfully.
Bella stood unsteadily. "What do you want?"
Victoria smiled. "You." She said simply.
Bella spun around, and started to run, though she knew it was useless.
"Help!" She screamed as she felt a cold hand wrap around her forearm. "Edward! Jacob! Someone! Please! Help!"
"Scream all you want," said a smooth voice near her neck. "There's no one to help you now."
She let out one last terrified scream, before she felt nothing but complete pain.
As she slowly sunk further into unconsciousness, she heard a roar of fury and a scream of agony.
"Stay away from her!"
"Edward?" She questioned slowly, before the world went black.
--
Bella groaned loudly as she opened her eyes. "Anyone get the number on that 18 wheeler?"
She heard giggling, a females, but there was only one person in the room, a male.
Then it registered. "Edward?" She asked, still trying to adjust to the light.
"Who is this 'Edward' you keep asking for?" Questioned a gentle voice.
Bella's heart sank. Not Edward.
"He…used to be my friend. He protected me from people like…" She gulped. "Victoria."
"Ah." The male figure stated amicably. "Well, you need not worry about her anymore!"
"She…you killed her?" Bella questioned, scarcely believing.
"Well," The male said modestly. "It wasn't just me, my family helped as well!"
It was then that the stranger moved so that he was visible.
He looked to be about 25, with sandy-blonde hair and a cheerful smile, but that was not what caught Bella's attention. His eyes were an almost glowing Topaz, and his skin was a pale as death.
Bella gasped. "Y-You're a vampire!" She exclaimed. "You and your family are vampires?!"
He grinned mischievously. "And now, so are you."
"W-What?" She choked in surprise.
He nodded his head towards the vanity mirror. "Go on, take a peek!" She noted idly that he had an Australian accent.
Slowly and unsurely, she rose from her bed and moved towards the mirror.
What she saw made her scream. Loudly.
She was perfect.
She was pale.
She was a vampire.
Suddenly, the door burst open and three figures ran in gracefully, assuming fighting positions.
"What's wrong?" Questioned the tallest frantically. "We heard screaming."
The sandy-blonde haired stranger moved towards the three new-comers, and picked up the smallest effortlessly.
"This motley crew would be the rest of my wayward family." He informed a shaking Bella.
"I-I'm a vampire?" She asked them quietly.
"Yup!" Cried the adorable little girl in "Sandy's' arms
She sat heavily on the vanity desk and whimpered quietly.
The other boy, who appeared to be about 13, walked towards her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. It was ice cold. "It's not so bad."
"Ah…I believe introductions are in order!" 'Sandy' said.
Bella looked up curiously.
'Sandy' stepped forward, the little girl still held loosely in his arms. "I'm John, and this little cutie here is-"
"Anna!" She interrupted with a cry. "I'm six!"
She incorrectly held up five fingers and Bella almost melted on the spot, as the young boy behind her chuckled.
She looked towards him, and he cleared his throat. "Oh, er…I'm Dane; it's a pleasure to meet you!" He shook her hand enthusiastically. "I'm stuck forever in an early puberty, 14!" he winked, and Bella laughed.
Finally, the eldest stepped forward, his ginger hair falling over his head haphazardly. "I'm Gilan. It's great to finally meet you, when you're not wreathing in pain, that is." There was a simultaneous shudder. "I'm eternally seventeen, and technically, my birthday is always tomorrow." He laughed good-naturedly.
Bella looked at the eldest, John. "Why are you doing this? You have no reason to help me…"
He smiled kindly. "I do have a reason, I want to help!"
Bella thought that if she had been currently capable of crying, she would have, especially when Dane put his arms around her kindly.
"Y-You guys are…You don't drink from humans?" She asked nervously.
"Of course not!" Gilan murmured indignantly.
"Speaking of drinking…" John started slowly. "You must be ravenous!"
It was then that Bella noticed the painful burning in the back of her throat, and she nodded quickly.
Anna squealed, wriggled easily from Johns' grasp and came skipping over, grabbing Bella's pale hand.
"Come on!" She cried, tugging her towards the door. "My favourites are stag and bunnies!"
Bella blinked in bemusement as the sweet, innocent looking girl went on a tirade about how much fun it was to break a stag's neck, while the three other men followed behind, listening in amusement.
She looked back to see John's twinkling eyes and he winked.
Yes, she decided, she may be hurting now, but she had all eternity to move one from…Edward. And now she had a family, albeit it and odd one, to support her.
She may have been hurting now, but she would heal.
She would heal.

I know it may seem like she moved on quickly, but she hasn't, she's just more willing to try now that she has support.
