Point of view; Bree:

The Cullen family had actually saved me. I never wanted to be like this. Riley hadn't given me the chance. On the date of September 4th, 2010, we went back to the Cullen residence. It really was a relief they had spared me before the Volturi could do anything to me. I had never wanted to do any of the things Riley told me to do. I was only scared, that's all. Until Dr. and Mrs. Cullen can get me a room of my own, I have to sleep in the living room. The one person I probably enjoy the most in this family is Bella. She may not be a vampire like me, but she has been giving real sympathy towards me. Not even Riley had that for me.

I was unpacking when Bella came in to check on me. I smiled towards her. "Hey. Um, there's something I don't understand. If I was in the army that was supposed to come after you to kill you, why did you and Dr. Cullen and everyone else defend me?" I asked her.

She seemed to understand. "Well, Bree, people do things for different reasons. You never wanted to hurt me in any way. You just didn't know what you were doing, that's all. Besides, Carlisle and Esme are very good people. I understand why they did it," Bella explained.

Just then, Dr. Cullen and Alice arrived in the room. They were both smiling broadly. It looked as if everyone in this family cared for me. "So, Bree, are you ready for your first hunting trip? I'm sure it'd be quite an experience for you," Dr. Cullen requested.

"You really trust me with that?"

Alice smiled even wider. "Why, yes. It's not exactly like you exactly wanted to kill Bella in the first place. Besides, it's animals we're hunting for. You're one of us now," Alice commented. All of a sudden, her smile vanished and her eyes turned black, staring at something far off.

Bella seemed to know what was wrong with her. "Alice, what's wrong? What do you see?"

Now I had no idea what was going on, or what Bella was talking about. All Alice had said were, "They're coming back here for her!"

Unexpectedly, there was a knocking on the front door. I flew down the stairs to get it. Alice called after me, "Bree! No, don't answer that door!" Before I could open the door, she appeared in front of me. "Bree, I know who's behind that door! If you open it, you'll in great danger!"

"She's right."

I turned around. Edward Cullen was standing directly behind me. "I can hear their thoughts. I know what they're planning. It's not for you Bree," he warned me, his eyes also black with worry.

"Wait! Who are they?" I inquired frantically. When they kept silent, I twisted the doorknob. "Well, if you won't answer me, I guess it shouldn't be so bad."

"Bree, don't!" Alice screamed.

Once I opened the door, I realized why they had cautioned me. Standing right in front of me were a sneering Jane and the rest of the Volturi. My breath came to a halt. Maybe I should've listened.

"Well, greetings, Bree Tanner," Jane welcomed, her red eyes unfriendly.
