Ooh ooh ooh! How exciting, my first story ^^ I'm nervous, but ecstatic :D I've wanted to write one for a while, but I never got around to it. Oh well, here it is ^^

I hope I do okay ^^

I don't own Twilight or any of the characters, except Lily, who is my own creation.


My heart was racing, and so was I. The wind blew back in my face, sending delicious scents flooding up my nose. So fresh here. I groaned. I'd forgotten where I was headed. All these scents, mixing together, they distracted me so easily... which way were they?

I stopped instantaneously, my hair caressing my face. I closed my eyes and thought for one second. To the right, definitely, they were to the right. I resumed running, faster this time. My heart was threatening to leap out in my chest, to bolt ahead of me to meet them. I grinned.

Them. Not long now, then I could see them. I wasn't worried about them liking me- I'd already been through all of that- but I was slightly worried about their reaction to another half-breed. Their reaction to Nahuel had been reasonable, and naturally, they had kept in touch with him. From the faint glimmers I'd seen in his mind, they were very compassionate. Yellow-eyes was what he'd called them. I didn't think that was a very nice nick-name. Their eyes weren't yellow at all, they were fluid forms of gold, ochre, topaz and a delicious caramel- at least when they'd fed.

I knew quite a bit about the Cullens, entirely due to my 'gift' as Carlisle would put it. A light laugh escaped my lips, soon I would meet the famous Carlisle and his precious Esme. Two souls, who, Nahuel had thought, had more compassion than the whole human race. I was aching to find out if this was true.

Then there would be Rosalie and her Emmett. Rosalie was indeed beautiful in Nahuel's memories, so to see her in the flesh would be interesting. Emmett was... huge. No other way to put it really, and Nahuel hadn't thought of one either.

Jasper and Alice would be there too. My grin widened. Alice. We would get along perfectly. She'd be like a mother figure to me, I knew that much. I was surprised she hadn't seen me coming... or perhaps she had. Maybe she would, but it would be too late for worries, as I'd be too close. Were they preparing for my arrival already? I shuddered slightly at the thought. All of them, there, watching me.

Ah, and then, Edward, Bella and Renesmee. I was particularly fascinated with them- with their love to be exact.

Nahuel had made note of just how affectionate they were, and how much they adored each other. I remembered looking through his eyes at Renesmee, her porcelain skin that did not sparkle like the others', but had a luminous mystery to it.

Of course, there would be the wolves. I knew that, and I knew that if the Cullens were aware of my impending arrival, the wolves would be there too to greet me.

This did not scare me in any way, as Edward would instantly be able to realise my intentions were good-natured. I didn't just wish to find another coven to be with, it wasn't that. If I'd wanted that, there were plenty of other covens I could've joined- it would've been much easier for me, I wouldn't have had to travel so far.

No, it wasn't that. At first, I wasn't sure why I wanted to be with them, I just knew I did. But I began to realise more and more, that it was because I wanted to be 'vegetarian' like them. I giggled aloud at their inside joke.

I'd been able to get into the minds of all other 'vegetarian' covens. There were very few others, and even then they still hunted humans occasionally.

I guess what had appealed to me most about the Cullens was that it wasn't just a coven, it was a family. Something that I wanted so badly- and something they could give to me if they wished to.

My thoughts had made the time pass very quickly, I hadn't realised. Where was I?

I paused and smelt the air. Green. Lush, green, fresh. I really did like the smells here. They were quite intoxicating.

A gentle breeze blew past me and other smells overwhelmed my senses.

Oh. I hadn't known I was so close. My heart stuttered and stumbled frantically as I straightened out my shirt. My jeans were covered in pieces of leaf and mud from my knees down and my hair was a mess.

Uugh, I should've thought about this. First impressions and all. They'd think I was like Victoria. I shuddered at the thought. The last thing I wanted to do was bring back memories for Bella.

Well, nothing I could do about my appearance now. I took in a deep breath. Then, with wide eyes and a smile I knew would dazzle any human, I stepped into the clearing.
