A/N: Welcome to my first fan fiction. I do hope you enjoy it. This something different that I thought that I would try, since you don't have many stories that surround Emmett his life that he left behind when he was found by Rosalie and then changed. I will be trying to keep it as close to the actual characters that the wonderful Stephanie Meyers has given us, but there will be some changes to some of this story. I can say that you will see a very subdued Emmett in the very start of this. He will be confused, full of angst and most of all not our loveable Emmett that we know and love. I promise that he will be back to his full on glory soon enough!

This story takes place about 10 years after the events of Breaking Dawn.

This story will start with Alice's POV and then switch to Emmett's POV for the first few chapters. Then we'll find out who the new character is. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: The talented Stephanie Meyer owns all things Twilight. I just take a plot of my own and twist her wonderful characters into the mix and stir.

Chapter 1

APOV

I couldn't believe my latest vision. I sat there in true to Alice form bouncing up and down with frustration; I so wanted to will this person to life so that these visions wouldn't plague my existence. To be honest, I was almost to the point of pulling my hair out, literally. Boy if I could pull my hair out and it would so be gone. These visions had been repeating for about a month now. There was a woman, a vampire with topaz eyes, just like vegetarian vampires. She had dark hair almost as black as my own. Her facial features were sharp and her eyes were filled with sadness and torment. She was looking for us, but her purpose was unknown to me. I didn't know if she was an enemy or seeking us out for other reasons. Her familiar features were unmistakable; she looked like someone I had known, but couldn't place where. The long curly dark hair, deep expression on her eyes, and even the slight dimples she had on her cheeks; it confused me to no end. Why couldn't I place where I knew this woman? It was driving me insane!

Jasper and I had remained home today while the others went hunting. We were settling in our new home in Tennessee. This was a change for us, but we all had decided that we would all take a year of peace and quiet and give our high school lives a break. Nessie and Jacob would be staying another year in the Amazon, before meeting us here. I think the constant interaction with human teenagers had given us a craving to be couples for a change, without having to deal with all the hormones in high school. Carlisle was working nights at the local hospital and Esme was working with the historical society to help breathe life into some old homes in the Gatlinburg area.

I looked up to see Jasper; he seemed quite confused. I shot him a slight smile, hoping that would ease his apprehension, but it didn't. I cringed inwardly. Damn, Jasper knows that there is something wrong. I was going to have to tell him sooner or later. I opted for sooner.

"Jasper," I whispered.

"Is there something that has been bothering you, Alice?" he replied.

"Someone is trying to seek us out. I have been having these same visions for the last month and they never change. She looks so familiar, Jazz, like someone we should know. It is all so confusing to me," I replied in a slight huff, not divulging the entire vision.

"I know that you've been having some trouble as of late. Your emotions have been all over the place. The feelings that you have been radiating lately have really been hard to deal with. Maybe you should talk to Carlisle when he returns. I know that he would be interested in what you have been seeing. He could help you work through them."

Nodding, knowing he was right, I offered him a loving smile. My main reason not to tell anyone was the uncertainty of how they would take the news of what had been repeating in my mind. Thinking things over for a few moments, it didn't take me long to decide to speak with Carlisle as soon as he returned. I stood and walked slowly over to Jasper, looking into his eyes as I caressed his cheek. I could always depend on Jasper to give me sound advice when I was so conflicted. I placed a soft kiss on his lips and held him close to me, letting my pure love and happiness consume us.

The day passed on normally. I was sitting with my sketchpad in the library, staring out the window into the deep plush forest. Closing my eyes and taking an unnecessary breath, the vision came again. I began drawing the woman on my sketchpad, trying to capture everything about her features, hoping that when I talked to Carlisle that it would help us understand more. The images didn't change from the vision this morning. It was the same; her eyes were filled with unbelievable torment. The expression was somewhat different this time; fear and sadness both, filled her eyes this time. I looked back at the drawing, the picture looking back at me overwhelming. My body trembled slightly as my mind reacted to what I had drawn. I couldn't believe the onslaught of emotions that came to me at that moment; there was sorrow, fear, longing, nervousness, torment and lastly, calmness. Jasper always sensed my mood changes. I looked over at him standing in the doorway, turning the sketch that I drew so that he could see.

Jasper looked at the picture, puzzled. He walked over and wrapped his arms around me. I placed the drawing beside me and allowed myself to be wrapped in the comfort of his arms. When it was just Jasper and I, time seemed to slip away. I was pulled out of my trance when the sounds of footsteps came from the woods and then into the house. Hearing the voices of Esme and Carlisle, I looked at Jasper with concern; he just nodded his head and another wave of clam washed over me. We stepped out of the library hand-in-hand and went to look for Carlisle. I knew it was time for this to be brought to his attention.

"It's time."

We walked through the house and found Carlisle and Esme speaking to each other in the living room. The house was extremely quiet; I assumed that the others hadn't returned yet. Looking at Jasper, he returned my glance and gave me a slight push to where they were. I took in a deep breath, not knowing how to tell them of these visions.

"Carlisle, do you have a minute?"

"Sure, Alice. What may I help you with?"

I told him about the last month of visions that I had been having in very fine detail, not being able to describe the full effect that her eyes had had on me. After I had finished talking with him and Esme about these visions, Carlisle looked at me inquisitively. I turned to Jasper, who offered a reassuring smile, and then turned the sketchpad around toward Carlisle and Esme. Esme gently took the pad from my hands and stared at it intently.

Looking up from the drawing, Esme looked to Carlisle and spoke softly. " Carlisle, this woman is so sad. There must be a reason that she is searching for us. Do you really think that she could be a threat to us?"

Carlisle offered me a comforting smile, and then looked back at Esme. I knew that they would discuss it later and hoped that he would offer me some of the infinite wisdom that he was so well known for.

Esme placed the sketch on the side table by the couch and walked over, placing her arms around me in a gentle hug. I hugged her back and sighed softly. She turned back to Carlisle and looped her arm within his, then retreated to their room upstairs. Looking back at Jasper, I placed a chaste kiss on his lips and wrapped my arms around him.

All of a sudden, there was a booming laugh. Edward and Emmett came tumbling through the door with Rosalie and Bella following behind them laughing. Esme called out from upstairs, telling them not to break anything. I stifled a giggle and watched Edward and Emmett both plop onto the couch. The boys looked like they were having a good time. I couldn't help but smile at them both. Then, quickly remembering to think of something else, I began reciting the Greek alphabet backwards. If Edward caught any thoughts of what I had discussed with Carlisle then he would surely grill me for answers and I wasn't ready to divulge just yet; I still want to see if Carlisle had anything else that he would like to include, before telling the others.

I went back to holding my Jasper. My head snapped up quickly as I heard a low growl. I turned from Jasper to the couch; I first looked to Edward, who gave me a perplexed look. My eyes then shifted to the other side of the couch, and I watched in horror as Emmett picked up the sketchpad and held it in his hands; they were shaking and he was fuming..

"Where did this come from? I want to know who drew this picture, and WHY!" Emmett's voice boomed.

I've never ever in my existence been afraid of Emmett, but at that point in time I was terrified of him. This couldn't be good at all.

Emmett POV

I sat on the couch trembling, holding the sketchpad in my left hand and tracing my right fingertips across the picture softly. While my human years were very hazy to me, the woman in this picture was one that I could never forget. I had just scared my family, which was so unlike me, but if they knew the reason that it upset me maybe they would understand. With that last thought, Edward took in a sharp breath and his expression went from concerned to somber.

I continued my current thought, looking at Edward briefly. I felt conflicted within myself, the gentle teddy bear part of me struggling against the angry, scared grizzly bear. Until I knew the reason why my twin sister was drawn on this piece of paper, I believed that the conflict would continue inside me.

Looking around at everyone, the expressions on their faces told me everything that I needed to know. I had to tell them something and felt Jasper attempting to manipulate the mood in the room. Internally cringed and spoke, "Before I begin, Carlisle and Esme should be here for this. Oh and Jasper, I know that you are trying to help man, but can you chill out on me please?"

I knew that they had heard my last statement, since they were there within seconds after I spoke. With the family assembled, in the living room, I knew that I would have to start somewhere. They needed to understand why my emotions got away from me like that. So I thought, 'here goes nothing.'

"I'm sorry for my outburst," I said with an uneasy chuckle.

Carlisle moved closer to me and placed a hand on my shoulder for encouragement.

"Now, could someone please answer my damn question? Who drew this and why?" I asked quickly.

I noticed Alice step away from Jasper and completely face me. She flitted to the couch and sat beside me, nudging Edward to scoot over. She grasped my hands, took the sketchpad from mine and placed it in on her lap.

"This would be all me, Emmett," she let out in a soft murmur, looking at Jasper briefly and then turned back to me.

"What the hell, pixie?" I started to say before she threw up one of her fingers to shush me. Leave it to Alice to make sure she got her word in.

"For the last month I have had a vision of this woman. In each vision she is searching for us." She took an unnecessary breath and continued. "Each time the vision is the same, she was alone and always searching. I haven't figured out, even with the vision I had earlier; there is no definite reason. She looked so familiar, so today when the vision came I sketched her. I showed the drawing to Carlisle and Esme, seeking their advice on these visions. I wasn't sure how to bring it up to the rest of the family until Carlisle could provide more insight."

She continued describing the visions that she had been having, explaining the reasons that she decided to make the drawing today. She described her sadness, fear and torment and her features that she felt so familiar.

Nodding, not knowing what to say at the moment, I stood, walking to the window. My family wasn't used to this side of me; they were used to the annoying jokester and sexual innuendo king, not the confused being that I was now. And to be honest, I didn't know how to start what needed to be said.

"I know that Edward has read my thoughts, so as of now he is the only one that knows who this woman is. It's my twin sister, Emily. My brows furrowed and there was a range of expressions on my face. Internally I was yelling at myself, but they needed to know more. "While my memory of my human life is very hazy, this woman is one that I could never forget. During my transformation; Rose's voice is what carried me through, but my sister's memory is what helped me endure what her words couldn't."

After pausing to collect a few more thoughts, I continued. "I am not upset that you drew this picture, Alice. Far from it, actually, it was just the shock of seeing something on paper that I have felt in my long dormant heart for all these years. I don't understand what all this means, since Alice said that she was looking for us. I am not sure what is going to happen. You guys have been my family for so long, but please give me some time to process all of this."

I looked at everyone somberly, turning from the window. I believe I had said everything in the best way possible, but in all truths I needed to get out of the house. We were in my home state and not far from my old home. I hadn't been there since my change. I needed time to get my head together and try for my family's sake to be the loveable and obnoxious Emmett that they knew.

I walked over to Rose, giving her a forceful, longing kiss. I whispered, " I love you. I need some time."

I didn't wait for a response. I just I fled from the house.

If Emily was looking for me then I wanted to find her, regardless of what I would discover once I did, but I had to find her. I hoped that Alice was right when she said that her eyes were topaz like ours, but if they weren't we would cross that path if it was necessary. So many thought were raging through my head at the moment, one more than the others. How had she become one of us?

End A/N:

I know that some of you are probably scratching your heads at this point, but I was vague in Emmett's POV for a reason. The next chapter will help explain some things that were left out. Please bare with me, I promise all things will come together soon.
