Chapter 1: New Beginnings
It's cold and wet where I am. I can't see, it's too dark. I try to feel around me but everything feels the same. Where am I? The last thing I remember is being safe and warm now I feel like I have been exposed. I feel so tired. Maybe I'll just close my eyes and when I open them again hopefully I won't be so alone.
I feel something cold touch my skin I feel safe not exposed. I hear noises but I don't know what they're coming from or what's happening. I open my eyes and I can see. I see a crowd of people and I don't know who any of them are. Nine of them are really pale and two are tall and tan. They're all staring at me as if waiting for something; the noise has stopped.
A girl is holding me. She has gold eyes and long brown hair. She's beautiful. I look behind her and see a tall, tan guy with dark brown eyes. He's staring at me and all I feel is this sudden urge that I want to be with him. I don't know why, but I need him to be the one holding me.
The urge is so strong that I start to cry, and I can't stop. When I look at him through the tears, I notice that he looks as if he is in pain. I look at the lady holding me and think really hard about what I want and I just keep thinking it. All of a sudden she looks at me confused. I think it again and she asks, "Was that you?"
I just smile and think it again now that I know she can hear me. Finally she turns to the boy who I want. "She wants you, Seth," she states.
Seth. So that was his name. But, wait, what was mine?
"She wants to know what her name is," one of the pale guys standing next to me said. I feel confused now. He can hear me without me wanting him to?
"Yes," he said to me.
The girl holding me hands me over to Seth and a sudden warmth and feeling of safeness fills me.
"Hi," he says to me and I all I can do is smile. "Beautiful," I hear him say but his lips hadn't moved. I was a bit confused, but I decided to ignore it. He looks back up at the guy who had spoken to me before and asks, "What is her name?"
They all looked at me, thinking. I really wanted a pretty name. Just than, I realized I didn't know their names.
"My name is Edward," the one that could hear my thoughts spoke. "And this is Bella, Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Renesmee, Carlisle, Esme, and Jacob." As he said the names, he pointed to the person they each belonged to.
"Hm. What do you think of the name Kaylee Paige Cullen," Alice asked with an excited voice.
I smiled again; I really liked it. I thought to her, "Yes."
I finally have a name! I was so happy, yet sad at the same time. I might have a name now but who would take care of me?
"We will," Edward said and everyone just looked at him. "Bella and I will take Kaylee as our daughter."
I liked that idea. Than I remembered I was still in Seth's arms. My eyes were falling again, but I didn't want to close them. I wanted to stay awake and mingle with my new family. I snuggled into Seth's shoulder.
"Sleep my angel," he whispered in my ear. I gave up the fight, closed my eyes, and fell asleep. I felt happy and safe.
