Chapter 1

New Developments

Bella POV

I was sitting on a piece of driftwood at First Beach in La Push. I love to go out there and just watch the sun sparkle in the waves as they beat against the shore. I can sometimes see the glittering scales of the shallow-water fish. Except today I'm thinking, and while I'm thinking, I'm sitting on wet driftwood from the ferocious storm last night. I'm not here to sight-see. Those who had attended the battle and the events later were getting ready to leave. Some of the vampires from the other coven were going to move someplace else or settle down here and almost everybody else was helping out; except me and Jacob who was sitting beside me on the log. We were both floating in our minds, lost in thought.

But something brought me out of my thinking, something on the horizon. From this distance it was only a dark dot, but as it got close, the dot got bigger and bolder. Ads it came ever closer, I made out a head and limbs. The body came even closer and I stood up to get a better view of what was coming towards us.

"Jacob!" I yelled at him. I was scrambling off the log and running towards the water. My sudden outburst had shocked him and he had fallen off the log into a heap but gotten up and sprinted to me as soon as he saw what I was heading towards. The body was floating in the water, coming closer as the high tide licked against the shore.

"Hey! It's a vampire!" Jacob yelped in surprise.

And it was; definitely a girl, but she looked different. Her jewelry was peculiar, not the same style we still wore today. She had golden armbands, bracelets, a necklace, and a golden tie around her waist-length hair. Her ethereal face had an almost animalistic look to it although everything else about her could scream normality because she was only wearing a tank top and jeans.

I quickly dropped down to the ground to see if she was okay. Jacob came over and took her in his big embrace, supporting all of her weight. I rummaged around in my pocket until I got my little silver cell phone and flipped it open. Punching in Edward's cell phone number, I waited for him to answer.

"Bella?" He answered after three rings

"Hey Edward, I need you to get Carlisle. Jake and I are going to run home and I need Carlisle at the house when we get there." I told him.

"What's wrong Bella?" He asked worriedly.

"I'll tell you when I get there, we need to hurry." I snapped the phone shut, not waiting for his answer.

Jake and I sprinted into the woods, heading towards the Cullen house. Although Jacob had the girl still in his arms, he ran just as fast as me. The foliage grew thicker as we approached the house and then opened up to the large front yard.

I hurried to the porch with Jacob trailing just behind me.

Edward was waiting in the doorway and when we got the front steps, he ushered us into the living room.

Jacob gently laid the girl down on the couch and then took out his cell phone while I talked to everybody else and was bombarded with questions.

"Who is she?" Edward.

"What happened?" Esme.

"Is she okay?" Rosalie.

"Where did you find her?" Carlisle.

"What's going on?" Emmett.

"I didn't see this coming because of Jacob!" Alice.

"To answer all your questions: I have no idea who she is, we just found her on the beach, she is apparently unconscious, and don't blame Jake." I answer in one breath, huffing for air after I finished my long sentence.

I was panicking; everybody was. Carlisle was trying to figure out what was wrong with the girl while Esme was getting Carlisle his doctor's equipment.

Jacob was still on his cell phone talking in hushed tones.

"She looks like she is in a state of exhaustion and has multiple small bruises and some large cuts. I imagine those would hurt quite a bit if you're in the ocean. She should wake up in a couple of hours, maybe a day or two." Said Carlisle, finished with his examination.

"Do you know anything about all of her...jewelry?" asked Esme, waving towards the young girl's arms and hair. I shook my head no.
