Forever Yours. Chapter 1.

Meeting the Cullens

It was raining hard outside, it was dark, but she could make every line of every single tree. Not even the darkest shade of black could blur her vision, not even a moonless night could erase any details. Like in everything else, she was better than ordinary people, she was better than normal humans, because she wasn't one of them, she wasn't a limited human. She was a creature, as some would call themselves, a creature with needs; a need for blood. She needed blood because she was a killer, a monster, a murderer. She was a vampire.

She had fought back hard against that nature for as long as she remembered. But in moments like this; when she was alone and could hear and smell almost every creature in the forest, she was reminded of whom she was and why she was fallowing the scent that she had smelled minutes ago. She was alone, of course, but not because she was the only one, or because she didn't had friends like her. She was alone because no one shared her vision; no one was brave and kind enough; or stupid as others would call her; to live by her rules. But if she could find them, him, then she would live amongst others, equals, like her and then, she wouldn't have to spend eternity alone.

Her last family, group, had tried to persuade her, talk to her, convince her. But she had stayed faithful to her beliefs, she wouldn't harm them. She wouldn't do to them what had been done to her loved ones. She would try and be different she had promise that, and she wouldn't let anyone or anything change her mind.

She looked around and stopped, it was still there, she could smell it. It was like when she hunted, but stronger.

Even though, she couldn't stopped the fear that filled her; not the kind of fear that being in the middle of the forest in the middle of the night may cause. No, she was scared because she had been running for a while, and even when the smell grew stronger she couldn't hear anything. Maybe they had moved again, maybe they weren't in their house, maybe they didn't exist…

Just when she was starting to lose hope, for the second time in that day, she heard them. Talking. Yes, it was here. In the middle of the dark she saw the lights and heard the voices.

"What's her name" – A low, exited voice asked.

"We should let her tell us, Emmett" the soft voice of a woman answered.

So it was true, they really existed. She could finally meet the man that had encouraged her to continue her habits, while others disapproved them. She hurried and saw a house, it was huge, she had seen a lot of houses in her existence, but this was one of the biggest and most beautiful one.

In less than a second she was at the door. She knocked twice. The door opened and a tall man was standing in front of her. He was blond, beautiful and a kind smile was gracing his features. He looked older than her, but not much.

"Hello" he said with a voice as kind and polite as his smile.

"Hi" she answered, shyly.

"Would you like to come inside?" The kindness never leaving his tone.

"Umm…" she hesitated "Yes…" She was surprised that he would let her in, without even knowing her name. She stepped through the door and into the light. She turned around to take a look at the house and found herself in front of four pairs of curious eyes.

"Hi, my name is Alice" A little woman, apparently her age, took a step forward and offered her hand. Sarah took it and shook it slowly.

"I'm Sarah" she answered; Alice smiled and looked at the blond man who had opened the door before.

"Nice to meet you, Sarah. My name is Carlisle Cullen, and this is my family. Esme, my wife. Rosalie and Alice, my daughters; and Emmett, one of my sons" He said, signaling with his hand while he introduce them. She looked at each one of them and nodded politely.

Esme looked older than her; she had wavy, brown hair, a petite figure and a kind face. She was standing next to Carlisle and was holding hands with him, she smiled warmly at Sarah. After nodding at her, she looked at Rosalie, she was totally the opposite of Esme; she had long, shining, blond hair, delicate features and an elegant posture. She was tall and beneath the clothes she was wearing Sarah could see she was in great shape. She was looking at Sarah with an evaluating look in her eyes, but after a moment, she half-smiled to her. Then, she looked at Emmett. He was big. Had dark, curly, short hair and the widest smile she had ever seen. She could also see two very deep dimples on each of his cheeks. He was standing next to Rosalie and had one arm around Rosalie's waist. At last she looked at Alice, she was small compared to Rosalie and had short, black hair; she also had pixie-like features and looked more like a fairy than a vampire. And, as everyone else she was smiling at her.

But the obviously warmness of this family towards her wasn't what caught her attention, or make hope flutter on her heart. They were all different, as they should be, because their specie didn't procreate. They were different, but they all had golden eyes, like hers.

"So… What's your super sad converting-to-vampire story?" Emmett asked.

"Emmett!" Esme reproached, she definitely was very motherly.

"What? We all have one…" Emmett said, a bit offended. She couldn't help but smile and laugh, too low for anyone to hear.

"You can tell us" Carlisle offered, but after seeing her smile fade he add- if you want, but first we would like to know what brings you here.

"Umm… Well… I…" she had never been good at telling stories and she wasn't going to start now "I've been living with another family for a month… and well…" she had practice this, but she was getting nervous; what if after trying so hard to find them they didn't want her, she couldn't go back to her old home.

"You can tell us" Alice said, with an encouraging smile on her face.

She took a deep breath and started again.

"I've been living with another family for a month, it was my first family, I've always lived alone. I lived there happily, I mean there was nothing wrong with them but, umm…" now she had to twist her story a bit "it was uncomfortable 'cuz they liked to feed together and I don't drink human blood…" she signaled her own golden eyes.

"And you are a vegetarian since…?" Carlisle curiously asked.

"Vegetarian?" she repeated, lowering her head to one side. Carlisle nodded and she decided to accept that as the title of her diet "Since ever… I mean I knew what I became when I was converted so I made my own decisions, and after…" she stopped talking, she knew that if this was going to be her new family, she had to tell them everything, families don't keep secrets to other family members, but she was just meeting them and the long story of her life wasn't appropriated for a meeting chat… so she decided to cut her story even shorter "and after I knew what had happened I refused to eat and went to the forest away from people, where I couldn't harm them".

"And you just decided to eat an animal?" Apparently Carlisle considered her self-created conscience very interesting.

"Yes, after a month of newborn thirst a lion smells really good…" she said half joking half serious.

"You spend a whole month as a newborn without eating?" Emmett asked, making an exaggerate stress in the word whole… "Now that's impressive!".

"Thanks…" she replied. She was starting to get to know Emmett and she liked his unworried style.

"Yes, it is impressive" Esme added. Sarah smile thankfully.

"And how did you get here?" It was the first time Rosalie spoke and, as her appearance, her voice was elegant and musical.

"Umm… I smelled a vampire scent, not far from here" she half lied, she had smelled the scent, but that wasn't the reason why she had founded them "and it was mixed with animal blood, just like when I hunt. So I followed it and it brought me here".

"So why didn't you…?" Asked Carlisle, it was a question, but it wasn't for her, it was for Alice. Alice looked at Sarah for a moment with her eyebrows furrowed, she looked around and everyone else had the same confused look in their faces.

"Were you totally sure about the scent you were following? Was there something that made you change your mind?" This time Alice was asking and it was asking her.

"Well, I was just running around when I smelled it, but I was going to turn away when I heard Emmett say something" she added, lying one more time.

Understandment flew in their faces; yet, she didn't understand it. She looked around again and everyone else seemed to understand something she didn't. Was there something important with that scent? Was she supposed to keep that to herself? But she couldn't think too much on that because her thoughts were interrupted.

"So are you planning on staying?" Esme asked. But Carlisle was looking at Alice like waiting for her answer, Alice nodded shortly and Carlisle looked at Sarah expecting now her answer.

"Um…" she was a bit confused "Me?"

"Well… Yeah!" It was Emmett, he was staring at her like that was the more obvious thing in the world.

"Eh…" this was the question she had been waiting, hopefully they would take her in "only if you would let me… I mean you don't have to… I just got here so if you don't want me to-".

"Nonsense" Esme interrupted her babbling. She looked at the Cullens, they were all smiling warmly at her, even Rosalie who by now hadn't showed affection towards her like everyone else, maybe she could finally have a former family, maybe she now could fit in something she had never fitted before, maybe she could be a sister, a daughter, maybe she could be a Cullen…

"You can share rooms with me and Jasper; he won't mind your stuffs in there!" Alice said.

"Jasper…?" She looked at the Cullens again, was she missing someone? No, there were just two males: Carlisle and Emmett.

"Yes, he's my husband…" So there were more Cullens, she wonder where they were right now but Alice interrupted her "he's very nice, he won't mind your clothes in our closet…"

Sarah looked at her bag, she had been traveling very light and she just had a couple of blouses and pants, the pair of shoes she was wearing and some things like a brush. Alice looked at her bag too.

"Or… you could leave that here and we'll figure out what to do with it later…" Alice offered.

She took her bag off and put it on the floor close to the door, the bag was wet and she didn't want to get anything dirty. But she try to remember where she put it, she had some things that she didn't want to lose in that bag.

"Would you like a tour?"Alice asked.

"Yep! She's often like that!" Emmett said, after watching, amused, Sarah's reaction when she opened her mouth to answer, but realize it wasn't a question, after Alice grabbed her hand and pulled her arm leading the way.
