My name is Annaleigh Brandon. I am the older cousin of Alice Brandon or as you probably know her now as Alice Cullen. I was born only three years before her in the same town and everything. Little did I know that my time as a human on this earth would not be as long as I had been told it would be.

At the young age of eighteen I was diagnosed with a rare disease. One so rare it didn't even have a name yet alone a cure. I was pretty much left to die in a hospital when a doctor who happened to be a vampire met me. He knew my condition would kill me so he gave me choice. Stay here in this hospital and be miserable until I die or become a vampire like him and live forever. Honestly that is a choice no 18 year old should have to make but I did.

The doctor who turned me his name with Colin and he was the sweetest man I had ever known even though he really wasn't a man he was a vampire after all. I agree to become a vampire and join his clan. That day my entire world changed. He led me out of the hospital away from my old friends and family and deep into a wooded area. There he took me in his arms gentle and lovingly as he bit me.

At first it was a sharp mind numbing pain but as he continued it almost became pleasurable. I barely knew what happened after that but then I felt the horrible pain course through my body. I had never imagined myself in such pain. I grabbed onto Colin for dead life. He never left my side, for three hellish long days Colin was there and stayed with me holding me in his arms.

Finally it was over, the pain was now gone as I look at Colin and he looked back at me. I didn't know what to say or do but there was a horrible burning in my throat.

"You need to feed Annaleigh." Colin says as he takes me and leads me to find something or someone to feed off of.

We managed to take down at least six deer together. I told him from the start I would never feed off a human unless I absolutely had to. He understood and told me that he thought the same. Very rare did Colin feed off humans. Colin took me in, I was played the part as his wife or girlfriend best depending on what town we were in. Once inside his house I looked at myself in the mirror. I barely recognized myself anymore.

My once' beautiful green eyes were now a golden color, my long auburn hair now seemed to a have a new and beautiful shine to it. I touched my face seeing how now it looked perfect. As if I were an angel or something like that. Colin came up and put his arms around me and smiled.

"You and I together forever my love." He said kissing my neck.

He didn't know how wrong he was. Years passed and we were happy and well hidden. Colin decided he didn't want to be a doctor anymore too many questions were asked so he decided to become a teacher. I did whatever job was open. I didn't have a degree nor did I want one to be honest. Now we were moving once again, we liked to do that at least every 20 years or so. Along with all these new changes I also had come to find out I had powers as well, I could tell when anyone and I mean anyone was lying to me and I could even force them to tell the truth.

Forks, Washington our new home. I really wish we could have found somewhere a bit gloomy. Like seriously the sun was barely out here but that helped out Colin and I. It meant no one could see our odd skin condition as he called it. Little did we know that we weren't welcome in our new town that Colin was starting to love so much.

One night we were out somewhere I can't remember all I know is so many things happened at once. Someone attacked us. I knew it was another vampire but I couldn't tell who they were or why we were their target. I managed to barely turn around to see the vampire take Colin away from me by his throat.

"Kill her!" one yelled out to the woods.

I didn't have time to turn around when a force hit me so hard I fell to the ground and blacked out instantly. My last thought was of Colin, what was going to happen to him?

The next time I woke up I was in a hospital looking around completely confused as to how I got here. I turned to my left and saw some nurse looking at me odd. Quickly I turned to my right and saw a very handsome and very light skinned doctor with golden eyes as well. He's a vampire too!

"Calm down Miss, we are just checking you out to make sure you are alright." The doctor says trying to calm me.

"You'd better let me outta here before you have a real mess on your hands Doc." I warn him as I purposely make eye contact with him letting him see my golden eyes as well.

"Miss Hart will you give us a moment please?" the doctor asks the nurse who smiles at him then leaves.

"What happened? Where is Colin?!" I yell at him demanding answers.

"When we found you, he was already gone. I don't know why they only did it to him though." The doctor answers me.

"What do you mean he is gone? Our kind is immortal aren't we?" I ask him as I sit up quickly.

"There are ways to kill our kind if you mean vampires, Tare them apart and burn them." The doctor tells me.

"What? You mean they told him apart and burned him?" I say as I start to look around the room so confused Colin never told me this.

"Please miss tell me your name, perhaps I can help you?" The doctor tells me.

"Annaleigh Brandon, Colin is well was my maker a long time ago and now I'm completely alone." I say putting my face in my hands.

"Brandon? Would you by any chance be related to an Alice Brandon?" the doctor asks me.

"Yeah, she was my cousin. Why?" I ask him as I now look up at him surprised he brought up my cousin.

"I am Doctor Carlisle Cullen, your cousin is my adopted daughter." He begins to tell me the whole story of how he turned his now family and everything like that. Turns out he had two daughters and three boys yet no wife that was a little odd but then again who am I to judge? "Would you like to see her again?"

"Yes! I didn't even know she was turned, I seriously doubt she knew I was turned either." I tell him with a sigh.

"Alright let's get you out of here." Carlisle says helping me out of the bed. "Take it easy, I know you are different but you can still be hurt."

"Thanks doc, so wait what do I call you?" I ask him.

"You can simply call me Carlisle. May I call you Annaleigh?" he asks me taking my hand.

"Uh yeah sure." I tell him as we walk out of the hospital unnoticed. I really didn't know how but apparently people here are super busy.

We walked to his very expensive looking car, I didn't really catch what kind it was I just wanted to get as far away from that hospital as I could. Carlisle got into the car and we started off to his house. I was not really surprised to see it was in the woods, I would have built my house in the same place if I could. It was nice and modern as well. I got out of the car and walked with Carlisle to the front door as we walked inside I saw Alice talking to another guy who seemed to be on edge.

"Ally?" I ask her.

Alice looks over at me for a split second then tackles me to the ground. I really can't believe it my cousin really is here and she looks like she is happy to see me. I hugged her back as she sat up and looked at me with a big smile.

"Annaleigh I had no idea you were turned, everyone just thought you died." Alice says as she helps me stand back up.

"No uh remember my doctor? He was a vampire and he turned me. We grew to like each other a lot but when we came here we were attacked and he didn't make it." I tell her as I look down at the ground.

"Ok I'm so sorry Annaleigh, I had a vision about you but I still thought you were dead and didn't even mention it." Alice says as she brings me into the living room.

"Well Carlisle was smart enough to make the connection between you and I since our last names were the same as one time." I tell her with a laugh.

"Oh let me introduce you this is Jasper my husband." Alice says motioning for the honey hair colored man to come over and he obeys. "Jasper this is my older cousin Annaleigh we went way back."

"Yeah, no kidding on that part." I tell her as she smiles at me.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." Jasper says with a small nod.

"Ma'am well now I feel really old. I was turned when I was eighteen after all." I say with a small giggle.

"Carlisle can she stay here with us? I mean she doesn't even have a coven anymore." Alice asks Carlisle with a bounce.

"I don't see why not, you are more than welcome here Annaleigh. Rose, Emmett and Edward should be back from hunting soon." Carlisle says looking outside.

"Oh wait do you feed off humans?" Alice asks me.

"Ugh no way, I told Colin the moment he turned me I would never do that and I have kept to that promise." I tell her with a big smile.

"Good that is what we do here as well. So let me show you to the guest room." Alice says taking my hand and dragging me upstairs.

"Nice to meet you two!" I call back down to Jasper and Carlisle.

Jasper's POV

I didn't know that Alice's cousin was turned as well. You would think that was something she would mention to her husband.

"She didn't know, neither of them did. I just found her on the side of the road and it was like I was drawn to her." Carlisle says as we watch Alice and Annaleigh continue up the stairs.

"You were drawn to her? Is that even possible?" I ask him curious to know as well.

"Apparently it is, it happened. Now she is here and safe but we need to find out who killed her maker, they may be a threat to us as well." Carlisle says as he starts to walk off to his study.

He was drawn to her? The only time I had ever heard of that happening was if a vampire found their mate. Could it be that Annaleigh was Carlisle's mate? Only time would tell just had to keep an eye on both of them. Though I could tell Annaleigh was morning from the loss of Colin. I did wonder if they had been lover but I also knew that was none of my business as well. Still I hope that Annaleigh will be able to stay with Alice longer this time.

This is a requested Carlisle/ OC story so for those Esme fans sorry but she will not be mentioned in this at all. Questions or Comments let me know.
