Chapter One

Why me?

As we sat in the quit of his car all i could think of is why? Why me? Why did his sister have to hate me? why did he chose to love me? Where were we going? Why had i had to pack a bag?

Finally my questions got to me and i had to ask atlease the questions he could answer.

"Edward?"

"yes, Bella" the way he said my name always made my head spin.

"where are we going?"

"you will see, Everyone is excited" Everyone!? When ever he said everyone i knew he only meant mostly everyone Rosalie im sure was not excited to spend the day with me. But by now we were far out of forks and i wondered what they had planned.

"How much longer Edward I really hate suprises"

"Not much longer we should be there within the next 10 mintues" We were out in the mountains now.I couldn't help but be amazed by the beautiful landscape. It had been a years since Edward had promised Carlise would change me. I was 19 now and Edward was forever 17 but that didn't not matter much to me anymore. Soon i would be just like him, just like his family. That thought made me smile forever 19 was much better than spending my life with a man that would always look 17.

"We're here!" Edwards voice scared me i had been dreaming about how different our lifes would be when were could be as closed to eachother as his family was. How great our lifes will be, but wher exactly was here? I looked out the window trying to figure that out. The only familiar things around were Emmets jeep and Carlise Mercades. Edward had gotten out of the car by now and was opening my door. In the time we have been together i still have not gotten use to that. I got out of that car and looked at the beautiful cottage infront of me. It was the prefect little town cottage. With white shutters on the windows that i would think lead to the kitchen. Behind the house was a beautiful veiw of the mountains and forest. There was no wonder why they had picked this place for a get away.

Waiting for us on the front step was Alice, with a big smile on her face. She greeted me with a hug and showed me inside. This house was almost as perfect as there one back home. The front door was made of a fine french wood with three round windows at the top. The inside of the house blow me away more that the outside. It openned up to the perfect waiting area. Than to the left was a beautiful living room with all white furniter. Two the right was a tall stair case - that i was probably going to fall up or down at least once this week- leading to the a hallway. Thats where Alice took me first to put my things always. I had packed almost everything in my room into that suitcase. The family had kept the weekends plans from me but i had told charlie i would be going on a skiing trip with the Cullens. Seeing the rest of the house would have to wait once Alice got her hands on my things.

At the top of the stairs there were 7 picture frames all held a painting of one of the beautiful vampires i counted as my family. They were prefect. Almost the really thing. Alice must have noticed i slowed to look because her next comment came as i stopped at Edwards painting.

"Almost the real thing eh?" she asked

"Ya, almost"

"This is the only place we have stayed in the whole time we have been together" Yes, i remembered Edward telling me that he and Carlise had build a cottage in the mountians. "Edward and Carlise build this cottage over 80 years ago and we have all found it a second home.last year when we left we came here first when we left. Carlise likes bringing us here when he thinks we need family time." I noticed now that the pictures went in order of when someone came into the family. Carlise picture was first than Edward, next Esme, and Rosalie than there was a door to what i think was an office than Emmet Alice and Jasper was last next to him was an empty frame.

"and who should be there?" i asked alice hoping i knew the answer. She just smiled at me. Was i right was the frame going to be for me. Is that why they braught me here. Charlie would tottaly believe i had falling down the ski hill and died. Than i would has to stay here well the grived with him.than finally i would be part of this family. That was of course if i was right if i wasn't just thinking ahead.

"that spot is for you silly" Alice's musical voice laughed as she gave me the answer i was hoping for.

"OH ALICE" i said wrapping my arms around her neck. That must be had for her but only for a few more days than i would be like her and we could hug with out these problems. "when!? Alice when will he change me.. wait who will change me have you guys talked about this is that why we are here"

"Edward will tell you at dinner"Dinner? Oh she means dinner for me. What were they all going to sit around and watch me eat. "than we will talk all together everyone has something to say about it."

I couldn't wait till dinner. Alice had started walking now so i followed she showed me to Edwards room and put my things down.

"we are going exploring!" she told me as she shut the door to the room. "Edward is going to be busy for an hour or so so i am watching you."
