Chapter one – A New beginning...?

The Cullens

A family of seven was living in Number 6 Privet Drive, Surrey, in London.

The adults living there look much younger than normal, like they are perhaps in their mid-twenties. With them are their five children. Charlisle Cullen, the father, is currently working at a local hospital. His wife, Esme is working part-time as a house-designer and as private tutor, teaching languages to children.

Charlisle and Esme's five children consisted of Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Alice and Rosalie. The Cullen's are very different from most families, and especially their next-door neighbours. They each have beautiful topaz eyes, and although they are beautiful, graceful, and appear to be quite young; they have a secret.

They are Vampires.

Not only do they live as a coven, but they also protect each other and treat each other as family; a fact which is unheard of in the vampire society.

These five teenagers are unique. They have a unique bond with each other and actually see each other as brothers and sisters. Most people are under the impression that they are the adopted children of Charlisle and Esme. Some believe that Charlisle and Esme adopted them because Esme is barren. Some think that it is simply because Esme has a big heart, and that she would care for any child, but especially those that have no one else.

Charlisle, being the oldest, has now gained immunity with regards needing blood, and no-longer thirsts for it. That is why, even though he is a vampire, who by rights should need blood, he can work in the hospital and pose no danger to others. He is also one of the reasons why the Cullen's are so unique - he guides his family so that they take the blood of animals instead of the blood of humans. They don't want to be monsters.

9am - Events from Rosalies POV

Right now Jasper and Alice are sitting in the living room on a cream leather couch, arguing about the differences of the war versus the major events from the past that have changed them.

Whilst Alice and Jasper are debating about these very serious issues, not far from them Emmett and Edward are playing infront of the television. Clearly, boys never change – they are battling each other with their PS2 controllers - trying to win the game of course…

Lastly, there is Rosalie. Esme, who was working in the garden, looked up to see her sitting in her bedroom, which Rosalie just so happens to share with Emmett. Esme was watching as Rosalie sat, her head leaning against the white glass, lost in her memories. Her past.

Ever since she had been changed, her life had never been the same. As Rose sat there, Esme could see exactly what she was thinking – That she was changed forever; that there was no going back.

Rosalie, deep in thought was remembering how her fiancé betrayed her, left her to die. She remembered Charlisle finding her, offering her the choice to die peacefully or to be changed. Remembering exactly what he had to do to save her.

She also remembered when Esme helped her to understand what she had become. That she was now a vampire. That she needed to drink blood to live. That she cannot have children. Then she remembered Esmes face, the way she held herself as she spoke. Thinking back, Rosalie knew even then that that was the hardest thing for Esme to do. It was and is Rosealie's dream to have a child, a dream that could no longer be fulfilled, yet she could see that to have a child was also Esme's dream, and even she was denied all hope.

Rose was jolted out of her memories as she heard her neighbour in Number 4 start yelling at a young boy. The boy appeared to be about 3 or 4 years old, he had black hair that looked completely uncontrollable, and was wearing clothes that looked like it was four sizes too big. He was looking at the ground, but suddenly snaps his head up and looks directly at her. As he stares at her, she sees that he had big emerald eyes. His eyes that seem to be pleading for help and asking for the love that he so desperately needs.

From that moment, Rosalie was furious. The man she assumed was his father handled the child so aggressively; the big fat horrible little boy was nasty and cruel to him; and the mother was a weedy, heartless, uncaring witch!

That 'man' was Vernon Dursley. He enjoys bragging about his work, bragging about his son Dudley, and flaunting just how normal he and his family are. His wife Petunia is well known to be a gossiper of the worst sort, and quite interestingly, is very secretive about her own life, except where Dudley is concerned. Their son Dudley is clearly well on his way to being a spoilt, rotten, rather large child.

10am - Events from Rosalie's POV

Rosalie calls for Edward and asks him to see what find out about the boy. Edward, who has the extra ability to read minds, listens in for a while. After a few minutes, he tells her that the boy is named Harry Potter, and that his aunt has taken him in. He also happens to mention that they do not want him, and that they think of him as being unnatural.

Edward read Rosalie's mind before she had the opportunity to say anything and left her alone. Once Emmett had distracted Edward with their game, Rosealie let herself think and feel freely.

As she looks down, she snarls 'Harry is just a child! A young and an innocent 4-year-old child! He is supposed to have fun, to be loved. Not work as a slave!'I Rose now has only one thought – to save him.

9am - Events from Harry's POV

Uncle Vernon was furiously whispering to Harry, who shook with fear. "Boy! Finish weeding the garden today or you'll be locked in your cupboard for a week! I don't want to see any of your freakish ways! Understand me boy?!"

"Yes Sir," murmurs Harry.

Harry slowly kneels down and begins his task. As he works he listens for the thudding footsteps that tell him that his uncle going back into the house. As the footsteps fade away Harry sits back and sighs. The sun was hiding behind a sky full of clouds, but it was so hot that no one else was outside. Only Him. All of a sudden he starts to feel like someone is watching him. He turns and looks toward the next-door-neighbour's house. 'She's pretty' He thinks to himself when he sees a pretty woman sitting in the window, watching him. 'She has such kind eyes'. He wished he were with her. 'She wouldn't make me do this!' He thought to himself. Harry gets startled out of his thoughts as Uncle Vernon bellows out the window "Get to work boy!" So, Harry quickly gets to work.

12pm. Events from Harrys POV

When he looks through the window, he sees his family sitting down having dinner and a cold drink. They must have forgotten him again. They always seemed to forget him, or give him the hardest and the dirtiest jobs they could find. 'It's not fair!' he thinks to himself, not noticing a tear sliding down his cheek as he continued to work.

Just then, he hears a soft voice behind him. "Hello there," a lady says. He quickly turns around to see the pretty woman from the window is kneeling beside him. Harry looks up to her eyes. "Hello," he answered with a little smile on his face.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

11am - Events from Rosalies POV

Rosalie was still sitting at the window. She continued to watch as Vernon Dursley approached the window and began whispering threats to Harry. Things such as he had better finish the job, else he gets no food or he would be made to do some nasty chore or another. She sat there for a long-time, simply watching Harry work. After sitting there for few hours, she had had enough and stomped downstairs fuming.

"What's wrong Rose?" Edward asked. Of course, he already knew what was wrong – she was screaming everything in her head. He mainly asked so that the others would notice.

The rest of the family looked at Rosalie's face and knew that there was something wrong. She was angry, upset, and she looked as close to crying as a vampire could get! Thanks to Edward's mind reading abilities, Rose knows she can't get away with brushing them off, so she tells them about Harry. By the end of the discussion, they each wore similarly furious facial expressions; it made them looked wild, untamed, and very, very dangerous.

Fifteen minutes later, nothing had changes and Rose just cant stand the stillness any more. She moves over to the window, and is able to see Harry still working in the back yard. She takes a breath of fresh air, and can't think why; as a vampire she hasno need to breathe. Once she starts feeling a little more in control, she looks back into the lounge. She immediately notices that Alice has a far-away look on her face and knows that she is having one of her visions.

11.30am - Events from Emmett's POV

In this family, they each have an extra power that makes them unique in a very individual way. Edward can read minds. Alice can see visions of the future, but only the future that is currently about to happen, and provided that no one involved changes the path they are on. Alice's mate, Jasper, is able to manipulate emotions, but only does so to calm others. Rosalie's mate Emmett has incredible strength. Their mother Esme has a heart big enough for the whole world, and Charlisle has immunity from blood lust.

And Rosalie? She is as beautiful as an Angel.

As Alice comes out of her vision, she looks straight at Rosalie, and simply says, "Go to him. He needs us." Emmett sees Rosalie snap her eyes to Alice's, and knew the truth of those words. As he walks over to her, and gives her a hug he already knows that she has made her choice. He knows what she dreams of and yet is unable able to have. He knows that this is the child that will truely open her heart and will call her the one thing she has given up the hope to become - Mother.

12pm - Events from Rosalie's POV

Rosalie walks outside, hops over the fence, and sees Harry still kneeling down doing the garden. Still working hard. She sees him look through the window and watch his family sitting at the table eating. She can see the tears that start running down his cheeks and the painful hunger and longing on his face. It hurts to see him so alone and so desperate.

Rosalie walks over and kneels down beside him. "Hello there." She says.

Harry turns and looks up at her, greeting her with a shy little "Hello".

In that moment, Rosalie knows that because of this little boy, she has begun to change her thoughts on humans. She can no longer right them all off; can no longer hate them all. As she smiles down to Harry, she is amazed that, once again, everything has all changed for her; all because of Harry.

As Harry smiles back, she knows that from this day forward, nothing will be the same again. The only difference this time is that she is happy about it.
