Bella's POV

I stared out of the window as the rain fell against it. I heard footsteps behind me as Edward took the last box out of our, what used to be ornately decorated room. Houses and apartments lined our backyard. Kids played in the streets, friends and families were barbequing and swimming in pools. While us, we were moving.

We left Forks 60 years ago. Twenty years we were in Texas, the next twenty we were in North Carolina. And now were in New Jersey, and getting ready to go back to Forks. Honestly, the last thing I wanted to do was go back to Forks. Too many memories laid there, enclosed in the ground, waiting for me to come back so they could spring up and attack me.

A knock on the door dragged me out of my thoughts and back into reality. "Mom, are you coming? Dad says the truck is packed and it's time to get going," I heard Renesme shout from the doorway.

"I'll be right there Nessie," I answered her. I took one last look out the window, getting one last glimpse of the cherry blossoms that lined the streets, and exited the room. I trailed behind Nessie, fallowing her to the living room. Yeah, it's only been 60 years, and you would think Renesme would look like the rest of us, but no. She looks about 14. She had long curly brown hair that flowed to her waist and big brown eyes that would tint into an amber hue whenever she was thirsty or just finished hunting. When we were right at the door, she looked back at me, curiosity lingering in her eyes.

"Are you okay with moving mom? You seem really… nervous about it" She asked.

I opened my mouth, but closed it soon after. Did Nessie really need to know why I was upset? No, she didn't, but she did notice my sadness, which was what daughters always notice with the mothers. So I just shook my head and smiled. "No I'm not nervous. There's just a lot of things in Forks that we might see again."

She opened the door for both us and we walked out. "It's kind of hard for me to remember what happened there when I was little. In fact, I barely remember. Do you?"

I shook my head again, I lifted my hand to her hair and smoothed a piece out that was hanging off the side. "Yes, I do. But I'm not telling you till you get older"

"It had something to do with vampires right?" She pushed.

"Nessie" I warned.

"It also had something to do with what I am, didn't it?" She said, in a more depressed voice. I looked at her, her eyes that were filled with life a minute ago fell to the gorund and held no such thing anymore. It tore my heart to see her like that.

I grabbed her shoulders and turned her toward me, "Nessie look at me," I told her. Her gaze rose from the ground and she stared back into my eyes. "There is nothing wrong with you. There never will be anything wrong with you. You are my daughter and you are perfect. Okay?"

Her mouth twitched upward into a smile. "Yes mom I understand" she said. She kissed me on the cheek and wandered off across the yard to talk to the others.

I stared out into the yard and watched as the driver of the moving truck backed up into Alice's Porsche; A very, very bad mistake.

"Hey watch it! What? You don't know how to drive!" She started screaming at the truck driver while he repeatedly apologized to her. Jasper, who was a minute ago, talking to Carlisle, ran over to her, trying his best to calm her down. She finally did, and stomped off into the garage to get the rest of her bags, Jasper trailing behind her. Rosalie and Carlisle were piling luggage into the jeep, Edward and Emmet were helping move a couch into the moving truck, and Esme and Nessie were chatting by the garden near the fence. Now only one person was missing.

"Hey Bells" Jake said coming up behind me. Do you honestly think we would forget him? Never. Nessie would be too depressed, plus Jake is a close friend of mine. The reason why he survived living with us this long is…

is surrounded by vampires, so he can't age or die (because I said so).

time he gets Rose so pissed she wants to destroy him, we lock her in her room.

"Hey Jake," I smiled at him. "Why aren't you helping pack, I mean you're are the big bad werewolf."

"That's not funny." He laughed anyway. "Well, if you really want to know, its because by the looks of it they're going to be done in 5…4….3…"

" Bella, Jacob! Time to go!" Carlisle called from the street.

Luckily there wasn't a big dent in the porch so Alice was happy enough to let Jacob ride with her and Jasper. Carlisle, Esme, Rose, and Emmet were riding in the Jeep. And my sweet Nessie, and my Amazing Edward and I were riding in the Volvo.

We all got in the cars and got on the road. We decided it would be more fun to drive all the way to Washington. I don't know who decided it, and I don't know if I exactly liked the idea, but since Vampires never sleep, and Jacobs not driving anyway, it would be fun.

"Woo! Road trip!" Nessie shouted from the back seat. "This is going to be so much fun. For most people, the funnest parts of their family trips are the car rides"

"This is going to be one long car ride" Edward muttered next to me. I laughed and slapped him on the shoulder. Nessie became quite the talker since we moved here, maybe it was her friends or not, but she could go on for hours and hours, practically a week.

"You know, sarcasm hurts dad," She frowned.

"I wasn't using sarcasm Nessie," He said.

"Well still, whenever someone else uses it they use it as a joke. But it can actually hurt people. Like that one guy in my class; although I forget which one; his name was Max and people kept saying he was the ugliest thing they've ever seen. Even though it was sarcasm since he was actually really cute. Anyway, a few days later he ends up on the news since for some chaotic reason he jumped off the roof of his house because people kept calling him ugly." She paused for a second. "Do you want me to jump off a roof dad?"

"Even if you did, you wouldn't die. You're a vampire." I said

"Only half" she pouted.

"But you're still strong and indestructible." I countered. She pouted some more and then the back of the car fell silent for about an hour or so.

Usually she would make some kind of noise but I didn't hear anything. Out of the corner of my eyes, I watched Edward. He shared the same worried expression I had.

"Nessie you okay back there" I asked. I craned my head back to catch a glimpse of her, her eyes were closed, and her head laid back on the seat. I thought she was asleep, but something, didn't feel right.

"Nessie," I said again. She didn't move.

"Nessie," I shouted this time, I even moved her leg a little, but she still didn't move. Then, I saw a tiny bit of blood trickle out her mouth.

"Nessie!" Screamed, and slapped her right across the face. She screamed, and held her hand to her cheek, right on the spot I hit her. I showed an apologetic look to show her I was sorry, but she didn't see it because she moving her eyes frantically.

"What? Huh?" She blinked. Then she screamed again. "Ouch! What happened to my face?".

"Well you were practicall half dead so excuse me for wrorrying about my daughter," I said. She looked at me and saw how worried I was. She then started talking a mile a minute. "Half dead? What are you…Oh! You mean that? I'm so sorry mom! I didn't mean to scare you! These things have been happening to me lately and I don't know what they are, and sometimes they scare me."

"Well why didn't you tell us? We could've asked Carlisle about it," Edward said.

"It's not exactly a bad thing." She said, her eyes staring out of the window. "And don't ask me how I know because I just do. Just like how I know this move might not be a good idea."

I was about to say something until I actually thought about the last thing she said, the move might not be a good idea? Since when is moving a bad idea? I mean yeah, I was skeptical about it earlier but I know we have to do it. When I looked over at Edward again his face was a stone, unreadable.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I don't know," she shrugged. "There's going to be something new there, something we've never faced before." She said, although her voice seemed off.

"Are they a threat? Or are they good?"

"I DON'T KNOW! Please don't ask me all these questions. I already have a headache and I honestly don't know how I know all of this, I could even be wrong for all I know. Let's just drop it please."

"Of course" Edward nodded. But I could still see he was stiff. I moved my hand over towards his and gave it a quick squeeze. He smiled at me and kept driving. The whole ride was gonna be depressing.

This is a great way to start off a new life. Don't ya' think?

Ring Ring Ring My phone buzzed in my pocket. I sighed and reached for it, the caller ID said it was Alice, as soon as I picked up I could hear her shouting.

"What's wrong with Nessie!" She asked. My ears felt like they were bleeding.

"Ugh….I'll tell you later Alice" I hung up quickly and noticed that Edward was laughing to himself.

"Okay, seriously, why does my cheek hurt?" Nessie asked, while rubbing the red spot I left on her cheek.

This was going to be a long drive.

Amber's POV

I woke up to the sound of rain pelting on the window. Of course in New Jersey rain was common, but not as common as it has been in the past few weeks. There were floods all over; people had to evacuate their homes in some certain areas. In fact my friend had to move over to Giants Stadium since her house was flooded. But still it doesn't bother me, I love the rain, I love everything about nature. You could say that's just my natural instincts.

I swung my legs over my bed and walked over to the window. I pushed it up and leaned my head out, letting the water pouring down trickle across my skin, giving me the cool sensation that I love.

"Amber! What are you doing?" I heard someone shout from the door. I didn't realize that my whole body was leaning out of the window. After hearing my mother scream, I slowly pulled back in. Savoring every moment the water contacted my skin. It was the sky's way of giving you a kiss.

"Amber what were you doing? You almost gave me a heart attack" She put her hand onto rapidly falling and rising chest.

"Sorry Cindy, you know I can't resist." I smiled shyly at her. Of course it was hard for me to resist. Like I said it was an instinct, a need, something I craved. To be with nature, where mans essence lives.

Cindy came over to me and planted a sweet kiss on my head. "We will teach you to my child, don't worry; although it's not necessarily bad thing."

"Knowing me it can only get worse." I shrugged.

"Yes, maybe." She said. "But as long as you have us you can get through it." She smiled down at me.

Cindy was one of the kindest people I have ever met. Yes I've only known her for two years, but I loved her and the rest of my family so much. But I still missed my old life.

When I say my old life I mean being normal, I don't miss the people that were there. My parents were abusive, my friends were downright mean, and my boyfriend was just….never mind. Right now, in my new life, is so much better. I don't know what I did to deserve them.

"Get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast hon. Sasha and I have something important to tell you"

"Yes mom" I nodded. She made her way towards the door, taking one last look at me (Probably to make sure I didn't jump out my window and into the rain) and left.

I went to my bathroom and got in the shower. The water in there is different from natures kiss, less gentle and more polluted, but it was still relaxing.

A few minutes later I got out of the shower and dressed. I wore my favorite purple and black plaid skirt, a white tank top and a lilac tie-shrug over it. And I added my purple ballet flats.

I made my way downstairs passing all of my sibling's room, and went into the kitchen. Everyone was already down there. Sasha was helping Cindy cook breakfast, Ray and Elijah were both setting the table, and Piper and Scarlet were making smoothies for the breakfast. They all stopped when they saw me come in. The kitchen was silent and the buzzing of the blender ceased. Just the hushed sizzling of bacon and eggs on the stove rang in my ears.

"Mornin' lil sis" Piper smiled at me in her warm voice. Everyone echoed her and went back to what they were doing.

"Morning guys" I went over to Sasha and Cindy and gave them both kisses on the cheek. "You mind if I help with the smoothies Piper?"

"No problem. Can you get the oranges out of the fridge and start chopping them?"

"Sure" I answered.

Breakfast was what I always looked forward too, the whole family pitched in we all had fun doing it. Piper was chopping pineapple slices to put in the smoothie and Scarlet was chopping grapefruit. I got the oranges out of the fridge and started chopping them beside Scarlet.

Few minutes later, we were all spread out at dinner table. With French toast, bagels, eggs, hash browns, bacon, crescents, pancakes, waffles, and jelly, butter, and cream cheese spread all around like a buffet.

We were heavy eaters.

"And here are our famous Mystic smoothies" Piper shouted coming around the table pouring our families secret recipe smoothies into each of our cups.

"Boy how I love this family. All my girls can cook." Sasha said. He was smiling at all of us as Piper rounded the table.

"And let's not forget the fruit salad for my vegetarian children." Cindy said. She placed a bowl of fruit in front of me and Elijah.

I could tell you why we were vegetarians, but it's still not time yet.

Piper and Cindy took their seats around the table and we all dug in. I grabbed a few pancakes and a bagel, that with my fruit salad was enough for me. But compared to the rest of my family, I was anorexic. Not physically but in the way I ate. They will always have 6 plates of everything while I only had one plate.

"Okay now for the special news" Cindy announced once everyone's plates were full. The table fell silent and all eyes were on her.

"We have been in New Jersey for a while, and in the past few years we were blessed enough to find Amber" She gestured to me. Then her hand went to grab Sasha's who was sitting right next to her. "But we have decided it is time for us to leave, people are starting to get suspicious of your father and I and we think change would be good for you kids."

"Wait were moving?" I asked.

"It appears so," Scarlet said confused.

"Wait! How long exactly have you guys been here before I came?" I asked.

"Um, about a hundred?" Cindy said in more of a question then an answer.

"A hundred" I gasped. My heart started racing, yeah I've been with this family for a while, but I still couldn't get used to how different they were. How different I was.

"Amber calm down" Ray said beside me. He moved his hand to my arm and held onto it gently. "I can already hear your heart racing."

"Sorry Ray" I said quietly. I took a few deep breathes then spoke again. "But do we really have to move, I love the way it rains here. I don't want to leave."

"I love the rain here too." Elijah said next to me.

"Me third," Ray said on the other side of me.

"Ugh, I don't get how you guys could like the rain. It's so cold and wet." A grossed out look crossed over Scarlet's face.

"You're a hot head, that's why" Piper said next to her. Everyone laughed, except for Scarlet, and returned to eating, till Cindy called for our attention again.

"Well you don't have to worry about the rain, where we go there will be plenty of that" She said.

"Dammit!" Scarlet cursed under her breath.

"Scarlet, watch your language" Cindy scolded her.

"So were moving to the rainforest?" I asked. That wouldn't be so bad, we'd be surrounded by nature there.

"No, were moving to Washington" Cindy said excitedly.

"Washington?" Elijah asked in disbelief.

"Forks, Washington to be specific" Sasha added. "It's a really rainy place, small town, and it would be a perfect place for you guys to practice there."

"Well it doesn't sound that bad" Piper said.

"You guys can talk about it on way to school, you're going to be late if you don't get moving" Cindy said. She grabbed all of our plates in flash and put them in the sink.

Scarlet, Elijah, Piper, and Ray all got up from the tables and went to the living room to get their book bags. I got up and fallowed them towards the door giving them each a hug goodbye as they left.

Piper and Scarlet hopped into the Explorer while Elijah and Ray hopped into the Mazda and drove off.

I walked up to the window and sighed. I haven't gone to school for years, in fact I almost forget what school was like. It would be too dangerous to go back though, for me and for the others. Someone would get hurt, and I would not be able to see that again.

"Amber?" I heard Sasha say my name.

"Yeah Dad?"

"Were leaving at Dawn, can you help your mother and I pack everything?"

I let out a dramatic sigh and smiled. "What's the point when you guys could probably do all the rooms within 3 hours using your super fast speed?"

"Cause you have to pack at least one room." He answered, smiling back.

"Fine I'll do my room". I rolled my eyes and made my way upstairs as he and Cindy both went to the living room with boxes. I really didn't have a problem with moving. It was just that something was telling me we were going to meet some dangers if we moved. And if I told Sasha and Cindy that they would instantly call off the move.

But everybody needs change.

Oh by the way I bet your wondering what the hell we are since my family has lived over 100 years, as far as I know. Well it's still not time to tell you. If I tell you to soon then I'm in danger and so are you. So just be patient.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

So not much changed, but more chapters soon.
