Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own the twilight characters. I do own Lex no stealing!! R&R PLEASE.
I was home sick today. When I finally got out of bed it was 11:30. My mom was still here to my surprise. "Hey mom," I said while rubbing my eyes. "Hey Lex I'm running late so I have to go okay bye love you." She said as she walked out the door. "I love you too," I whispered. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I ate and went to take a shower. The steam cleared my clogged nose and my mind a little. I rinsed my hair, shut off the water and grabbed the towel. I walked into my room and put on the clothes I had laid out. Put on my shoes combed my hair and walked over to the living room.
My life is really bad now. I used to tell myself don't worry everything will be okay. I stopped that on my eighth birthday. Today was Saturday and I was supposed to spend this weekend with my dad. He is supposed to be here at 6:00. It was now 12:15. After a couple of minutes of weighing the pros and cons. I decided that I'm going to run away. I grabbed my backpack emptied it out and started packing. I took clothes, my phone, food, my money and a lot of other things. I walked out of the neighborhood and I tried to think of people that wouldn't rat me out to my parents. But everyone would because my friends would help me but their parents would tell.
I stopped at the next gas station I saw. I walked directly to the bathroom. I opened my bag and took out the black hair dye I packed. I had to change my appearance somehow. After I was done dying my hair I went in my bag for the green contacts I bought a long time ago. I put them in and walked out of the gas station. I checked my phone to see the time it was 7:30. I knew a short cut through the woods to another town. I thought I should take it I figured my last resort would be to go to an orphanage.
There was a lot of traffic on the road which made me paranoid but made me feel safe at the same time. I felt like I was being followed. I turned around but no one was there. I reached the forest finally. It only takes me 30 minutes to cut through it. I walked in and regretted it the moment I did. The good thing is I know this forest like the back of my hand. I dug through my bag for a bottle of water I was really thirsty. I kept walking until I heard rattling in the trees. I looked around but kept walking. If something bad happens at least it wasn't my dad that caused it. I heard the rustling sound again. I stopped and took a sip of my water. I looked around and kept walking. Birds flew out of the trees at great numbers. Then a herd of dear followed that made me worried animals only ran in big groups like that when something bad was chasing them.
Great I'm going to get eaten I thought. But I saw a tree that looked low enough that I could climb it. I ran over to the tree and started to climb. I figured that if I'm going to die that I should at least try to save myself. I climbed up as high as I could. I waited to see what it was that the animals were running from. I saw eight people enter the area. I waited for them to follow the deer. My breath caught I dropped my water bottle. One of them looked to me and I tried to stay hidden and when I looked to see if they left I made eye contact. Great they saw me there goes the whole orphanage idea.
I started to make my way down the tree. I finally made it and I stayed at the base of the tree. I stared at them and they stared at me. The silence was awkward. I was about to walk away but they stepped closer to me. I didn't panic I knew I was going to die. I just didn't know how. These people might be good or they can be the cause of my death. "Hello, what is a beautiful girl like you doing in the forest at this time?" His voice sounded so smooth and calm. I couldn't fall for their tricks. I focused and told some truth. "Hi, I'm trying to get to forks. Cutting through here is the fastest way for me. I live in Port Angeles" I said trying to stay focused because they were all really beautiful and I can get really distracted.
"Well why so late dear?" said one of the women. "I lost track of time while at my friend's house." I lied this time. "Mmhmm," Said one of them sounding thoughtful. I'm pretty sure I knew that these people will be the death of me. There was another awkward moment of silence. "Well if this little exchange is done I'll be on my way." I said inching away slowly. "Trying to leave so soon, we are nowhere near done." Said the beautiful blonde woman. My face fell and apparently they caught that. "Why so sad?" one of the guys asked. He walked up inches away from me. He had beautiful golden locks and black eyes. "There is nothing to worry about beautiful." I couldn't help it.
They were beating around the bush why don't they just kill me yet. I felt my eyes fill with water. "We are not going to hurt you."He said wiping the tears that fell over my eyes. His touch was ice cold but delicate. "Then what do you want from me?" I asked between sobs. "The truth," said the girl with a bell like voice, black spiky hair and she looked like a pixie. "What good will that do me? My life can't change apparently." I said crying more. The pixie came and comforted me.
"What if I told you we can give you another chance to change your life?" I looked up at her with pleading eyes. "I would listen to you but I wouldn't believe you no one ever helps me with anything." She laughed and hugged me. "I have a way to help you start over but you have to do as you're told." "Okay," my voice broke. "But who are you people?" I said as more of a demand than a question. "I'm sorry that was rude of us. I'm Alice this is Edward, Bella, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle." "I'm Lex." Carlisle walked up to me and everyone else backed away. "Lex close your eyes and relax okay?" Carlisle instructed. "Okay," I sniffled and did what I was told.
