A/N This is a Paul/OC imprint story. I've been wanting to write this for a while and now I finally got a chance :) I have big plans for this story already.

The first chapter is a little slow, the second chapter is when you really get into the good stuff like the whole back story and beyond :D

Please excuse some of the grammar mistakes that are no doubt there. I didn't have time to edit :(

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

Annabelle Marie is my name and I used to be a normal 16 year old girl. A normal girl that lived in the state of Chicago. I had a normal life with friends, parents, boyfriend, and an amazing twin brother. His name was Benjamin, but I called him Benny. Benny was my best friend. We spent all our time together. Every day of our lives we were together, sure we had other friends. But they were mutual friends so we didn't hang out with them separately. Me and Benny never fought. We might have argued but never actually got into an argument that could be considered a fight or not be fixed within five minutes. Benny was my security blanket, I needed him. I probably needed him more that he needed me. Our parents were never around because they were big time lawyers so they spent most of their time traveling or at their office. So it was just me and Benny in a huge house by ourselves, and in that time I clung to Benny. And then one day, it all fell apart.

One of my friends wanted to have a girls night without the guys there. I didn't want to go because my parents had just gotten home and I wanted to be with them. But they all told me that I should go and have some fun by myself. The thought of that was unsettling but I went anyways. Besides I figured that I would see them the next day. Little did I know that there would be no next day with them. The girls night went great, we watched movies and ate a bunch of junk food, then we all fell asleep. On my way home I thought that it went better then I expected.

when I got home it was quiet. I thought that everyone was out, so I didn't worry. I ran up to my room and put my things that I took to the sleepover away. after that I thought that I would check to see if by some chance my was home and they were just sleeping. I went to my brothers room and knocked on his door, there was no answer. I slowly opened his door and took a peek inside. He wasn't in there, I shrugged. already knowing that he wasn't there because if he would have been he would already have been up. My brother wasn't the type of person to sleep in. I then went to my parents room. their door was half open, which was a bit unusual for them. They either has their bedroom door all the way open or fully closed. But never half. I opened the door and what I saw I'll never forget.

"Annabelle." I felt someone shaking me lightly; their hands were cold. "Annabelle, wake up we're here." I slowly opened my eyes and glared at the person who woke me. I was awake for almost two days straight because of my nightmares. The least he could do was let me sleep, or at least tell me the real reason he woke me up. I narrowed my eyes at him. A small smile played on his lips and I knew he could feel me getting more annoyed by the second. I didn't like being woken up.

"Why did you wake me?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Because we're here." He said simply. I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. I stretched and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Stupid Jasper, he could at least tell me the truth about why he woke me up as if I didn't already know. I heard someone laugh somewhere behind me and turned around. There was a man standing at the front door of a huge house with his arms crossed over his chest and a smile on his lips. He had reddish hair kinda like bronze colored and light brown eyes. He was looking at me and laughing. "Are you laughing at me?" I asked pointing to myself. Did I have something on my face? The man just shook his head still laughing.

"No I wasn't laughing at you." He turned and looked at Jasper who was glaring at the laughing man. "Annabelle, This is Edward. My brother." Oh Edward, well that explains why he was laughing. I felt a blush creeping up my face, I bowed my head hoping my hair would hide it. I felt a cold hand on my should. I looked up and saw Jasper smiling at me.

"Come on, let's go inside. It's about to start raining" I stared at him frozen in fear. Inside, inside the house. The house where the rest of the Cullens were. Never mind the fact that they were vampires, Jasper had explained to me that they didn't drink human blood a little after I met him. What scared me was the fact that I was about to intrude on this family. I was an outsider and I was going to go into that house and stay there as if I belonged. As if they were my family also. They're gonna hate me. I thought to myself.

"We are your family, you do belong here and they won't hate you. In fact we all already love you." I heard Edward say. I forgot that we could read minds, I'd have to learn to be more careful. "Come on." I could feel Jasper nudging my forward and I tried to resist but he was obviously stronger than I was. I stood up straight and walked into the house with Jasper by my side. I decided that walking there with my head held high would be better than being dragged in there like a child. As soon as I got through the door I stopped dead in my tracks. There standing before me was a family filled with the most beautiful people I have ever seen in my life. They were all pale with topaz eyes. There was no mistaking that they were the famous Cullen family I heard so much about from Jasper. A man with blonde hair stepped forward and I knew instantly that it was Carlisle. I just knew from the aura that surrounded him. He was a vampire yes, but he didn't give off a dangerous feel and I saw no ill intentions in his features when I looked at him.

He smiled at me, "You must be Annabelle." I nodded too shy to speak. A woman with caramel colored hair stepped forward with a small frown on her face, upon seeing her I also frowned. That frown didn't fit her soft features and it made me sad to see that she was upset. Had I done something to upset her? Maybe my being her upset her. Maybe I should leave. The thoughts running around in my head quickly diminished when the woman spoke.

"Please don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." she thought I was scared of them? Of course my silence and frown could be mistaken as fear. I blinked twice then smiled. "Oh I'm not scared. I was just a little shy." I laughed lightly. The woman smiled and I felt relieved. She walked over and stood next to Carlisle. He wrapped an arm around her and it dawned on me. The woman was Esme. Of course, how could I have not noticed it before? Esme; Carlisle's wife and mother to the Cullen "kids" as people would call them. Jasper told me a lot about her. He told me a lot about all his family. My smile got bigger as I looked at Carlisle and Esme together. I looked around the room at the other people that were there; they were all smiling with the exception of one blonde woman. She was just staring at me, not smiling but not frowning either. Like she was indifferent about my being here, I smiled at her. I smiled at her because she showed her true feelings instead of faking them. I respected that. While I was looking at the blonde woman I didn't notice a smaller dark haired girl step forward. Before I could react her arms were around me in a crushing hug. From the surprise and the hug I couldn't breath.

"Alice she can't breath." I heard Edward say. The one that must be Alice released her hold on me but not completely. I looked at her and she was looking back at me beaming. "You know, of all the things I see I didn't see you coming. You were a surprise to us all." Alice was the one who could see the future and she didn't see me coming, I was guessing it was because Jasper hadn't planned on bringing me here. He told me it was an impulse decision.

"I hope I was a good surprise." I mumbled shyly.

Alice laughed. "You were a great surprise. Alice turned and starting naming the rest of the people in the room. She pointed to a girl with long brown hair. "That's Bella, she's Edwards wife." Then she pointed to a girl that looked like she was about twelve and had had the same hair as Edward. "That's Renesmee, she's Edward and Bella's daughter." Then Alice pointed to a huge man with dark hair. I took a step back, he scared me a bit. "That's Emmett." Alice looked at my scared faced and giggled. "It's okay he won't hurt you."

"I know he looks scary but uncle Emmett is really just a big goofball." I heard Remesmee say.

"And last but not least is Rosalie." Alice said pointing to the blonde that was next to Emmett. I looked at her now and she had a curious expression on her face. It seemed like she was trying to figure me out. I smiled at all of them.

"Thank you for letting stay in your home." I said to them all. I was more grateful than I would be able to explain.

"This is your home too Annabelle, you're part of our family now. This is our home. Carlisle said. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes from the sheer joy, a few tears spilled over but I didn't bother wiping them away. everyone was smiling at me even Rosalie. Alice hugged me again only not as hard as the first time. Just then the front door burst open and something hard knocks me over. If it wasn't for Alice I would've fallen flat on my face. I look behind be to see what knocked in to me and standing there staring down at me are two guys with short black hair and russet colored skin. The were both shirtless and had a tattoo on their right arm. They looked like they were related. I looked up at them wide eyes. Damn they were tall.

I heard Edward chuckle. "The one that ran into you is Jacob Black." Jacob smiled at me and then stepped around me and walked over to Renesmee. "The younger looking one is Seth Clearwater." Seth had a huge grin on his face.

"Hey!" He said enthusiastically.

"Hi." I said back, I found that his grin was contagious because I was soon grinning too.

"Guys this is Annabelle. The newest member of our family." Carlisle said.

Seth's eyebrows furrowed. He leaned in closer and sniffed me. What the hell? "Really? She doesn't smell like one of you."

Alice rolled her eyes. "Seth, she's human."

"Then how is she one of you?" Seth asked.

"It's a long story." I said.

A/N What do you guys think? Should I keep going?
