Chapter 1: Adele

Rosalie's POV

I was sitting on the loveseat with Emmett one day. Edward and Bella, with Renesmee sandwiched in the middle, sitting on the leather couch, Bella brushing Nessie's curls softly. Alice and Jasper were out hunting.

I was extremely envious of Bella and Edward. In fact, half the time I treated Nessie as my own daughter. Bella was so lucky; a vampire and a mother. Once again I envied her, just like before she became a vampire.

I picture my own little girl with silky blonde curls, sunlight shining off her hair. Absolutely beautiful, like me, but strong like Emmett. And all mine.

Edward looked over at me, reading my thoughts. I glared back at him. I can dream, can't I? It's not illegal, I thought to him. He shrugged and nodded, then turned his attention away from me.

I went back to my perfect little fantasy. Of course, I'd have to decide what to name her. Maybe combine Emmett and Rosalie. It'd be something pretty, not like the name Renesmee. I mean, seriously?

Edward growled at me.

Emmett, Bella, and Nessie all turned to look at him while I thought, Can I help but be strongly opinionated? It's who I am. Like a talent.

"What is it, Edward?" Bella asked, curious.

"Yeah, why the hell'd you do that Rose?" Emmett asked, clearly not all that happy with Edward. I wasn't, either.

"Nothing," Edward muttered. "Forget it."

Then Alice came bursting in the doorway, so fast I thought the doorknob was about to come off. Everyone turned to look.

"Guys! You won't ever guess who I ran into!" Alice screeched, excited. "Okay, I have this sister in Biloxi, Mississippi. Bella, I recall telling you. Anyway, she was just passing through and Jasper and I bumped into her while hunting! Isn't that great?"

I was bored by the subject already. We had enough vampires in this house already. But then again, would one more really make a difference? I decided not to ponder it too long. Not worth my time and effort.

I heard Jasper's footsteps, and then a third person's. A girl with long, dark hair came through the doorway. She had crimson eyes, clearly a vampire who feeds on humans.

Edward read my thoughts, then exchanged a look with Bella, who was clearly thinking the same thing. Their eyes were wide with alarm. Bella scooped up Nessie quickly.

"Alice," Edward hissed. "Get over here."

Alice bounded over. I felt Jasper's calm waves penetrate throughout the room.

"It's okay, I swear," Alice whispered quickly, trying to reassure Edward. "She knows everything. I explained it all to her on the way over. She knows about our diet and about Nessie."

Good thing Jake isn't here, I thought. He wouldn't be enthusiastic whatsoever if another vampire came to our house, especially one that was harmful to Nessie. Not like I care, though.

Edward shot me another glance.

I couldn't completely agree with Alice, though. There was something about that girl. She looked. . .threatening.
