A/N : In no way do I own these characters but I do however own my own characters such as Jesse Cullen. To give some background on Jesse, he is a vampire turned by Carlisle. Body-wise he is the oldest of the siblings at 24 but looks about 18, in actuality he is 43 years old making him a newborn. He has exceptional control over his bloodthirst and dislikes the taste of it.
Features: Has black/brown hair, cropped short with his slightly longer fringe hanging above his right eye. He has a small face, defined like Edward's but gentle like Carlisle. He has sharp eyes, his right in particular is coloured bright blue but his left is the normal animal diet colour (golden).
He is of Chinese decent, a slim body at the height of 5'7. He is calm but excitable like Emmett but wise like the matriarch of the family. He has a close relationship with Rosalie and Alice. He is an FTM, which means he was biologically assigned female but with the help of Carlisle became a man smoothly.
The rest of his story will be revealed.
Pairings: Edward/soon to be Jasper, Alice/Bella/Kate (Alice and Kate will be at most friendship level, they are fighting for Bella's love after all xD), Rosalie/Emmett, Carlisle/Esme and Jesse's other half will be revealed.

Bella's P.O.V
I was standing nervously awaiting what would happen next. I had just been at a party, celebrating my 18th birthday with the Cullens and Hales. But unexpectedly I had been thrown across the room by Edward, my boyfriend, because of Jasper's sudden outburst at my blood caused by a mere paper-cut. I was shocked of course but really? I was hanging out with a family of vampires. It was inevitable. And now I was in the middle of no-where and in front of me was a tensed boyfriend. I could see his muscles rippling under the light of the moon.
''Bella,'' He starts. He finally turns around with sad eyes but physically relaxed after seeing me. ''I-i..I can't be with you anymore.''
I started laughing at his ridiculous comment and tilted my head sarcastically at him. ''You dragged me out here so you could say you wanted to break up with me?''
''It's not safe at the house anymore. It's not safe to be around us anymore, Bella. I made a mistake coming into your life.'' Edward sighs like he was talking to a stubborn child. Well maybe I was, considering I was a child compared to his hundred years.
''It's not a mistake Edward,'' I grab at his sleeves. ''I'm happy you decided to introduce me to you, your family and everything else. You guys make me complete!'' I was startled at myself. Why did I say 'you guys' instead him? I didn't have much time to ponder about as he shook me off and I ended up on the floor.
''You don't get it Bella! Jasper just tried to kill you! And here you are saying we complete you. The only thing we are doing to you, is destroying you.'' He faces in a direction I can't see as it starts raining heavily. It was dramatic. ''I don't want you anymore, Bella. I don't love you. We're going to go away, so forget about us.'' And that's when he left me. In the middle of no-where, tall trees to keep me company with a heavy downpour of rain. It was night-time too; I didn't have the energy to try to attempt to get out of here.
I lay down, curled up to keep some form of heat. But that's when it hit me, my boy…no my ex-boyfriend said he didn't want me anymore. Like I was some sort of toy he wasn't entertained by. It was selfish of him. I burst into a million tears, sobbing uncontrollably. He took the people I loved away from me. Alice my best friend. Jesse who had become my rock of all sorts of problems. Even Rosalie who never really liked me. He took all of them.
I had lost all sense of time; my tears were drained but were replaced by the never-ending rain. I jumped at the sudden contact of a jacket covering my body. Maybe it was one of the Cullens who still cared about me…
''He didn't deserve you.'' Was all I heard before I blacked out due to exhaustion.
…
Kate's P.O.V
I had been sent down by my sisters from our home in Canada to visit the Cullens on a business trip about something I wasn't interested in. I'm over a thousand years old and I'm still the errand girl. It would've been such a lovely trip if it wasn't for the sudden rain. I wanted to curse the skies.
Around midnight was when I had arrived at the Cullen's mansion. But all the lights were turned off. Vampires do not sleep and they were on the phone not even 12 hours ago, expecting my arrival. So why was the house void of anything moving? I opened the huge front door they had, the house was a mess. Glass shattered on the floor, presents thrown around and half the things missing. It looked as if they were in a hurry. But as far as I could've remembered, they had no threats coming their way. So why?
I walked further in, surprised when I caught a whiff of a human's scent. It was amazing, delicious yet I had no desire or bloodlust. I was confused but I knew I was addicted. I kept sniffing the room for a stronger trail, it led me back outside and far into the woods. Not even a mile out it became almost too much to breathe in anymore. There was sobbing in the distance, a faint heart beat under the sound of rain drops. The heart beat was entrancing enough as it was but a rushed heart beat? It made me worry for some reason.
I had never really cared for a human before. Although they're not my diet anymore, it doesn't mean I need to treat them with respect like the Cullens do. By now I was standing above the barely conscience girl. The sight might've horrified others but to me this was a revelation. She looks so beautiful, a Goddess…no even more. Everything about her was perfect.
I snapped out of my thoughts and quickly covered her with my jacket and realised that this was the human Edward Cullen had claimed earlier on this year. So this was Bella and by the looks of it she got left behind. He didn't deserve any of her love. No, none of it.
''He didn't deserve you.'' I said as I lifted her wet, unconscious body with ease. I follow another faint trail of her scent. One that led to a dimly lighted street with houses aligned perfectly next to each other. I assumed the one with her scent was hers.
There was a light on downstairs with hushed footsteps, the person was pacing.
''Bella where are you….'' I assume this person was her father. He sounded worried, I think I would be if Bella was mine…
I hurried to the doorstep, knocking rather loudly to catch his attention. He practically ran to the door, swinging it open to reveal me and his daughter in my arms, drenched to the bones. The man couldn't even speak, instead ushered me in to his living room and gestured frantically to the couch. I put this sleeping angel on it and kneeled next to her, brushing her wet hair out of her perfect face.
''W-ho are y-you?'' He asks, obviously soaking in the vampiric beauty I had obtained.
''I'm just a passer-by, I was on one of my walks through the forest when I came across Bella here. She told me where you lived.'' That was a lie, but a white one. It wasn't going to harm him if he didn't know I was a vampire, right?
''I see….Oh I'm her dad, Charlie!''
I chuckle at his nervousness and pointed between me and the angel. ''Do you mind if I use your bathroom to dry up a bit, Charlie? I would also like to help Bella dry up or she's seriously gonna catch something.'' I didn't wait for his slow reply, I picked her up again as I did moments before and started to the stairs.
''Of course..What is your name? I would want to know the name of someone who had just saved my daughter's life.'' He follows me up, guiding me to the bathroom and Bella's own room.
''My name is Katarina, please call me Kate.'' I smiled at him before laying Bella in the bathtub. ''If you'd please..'' He follows the direction of my hand and blushed, moving out of the room almost immediately.
Her father was a very nervous guy; I wonder if Bella is like this. Well I guess I would find out soon. I first take off my own clothes after locking the door, dumping it in a pile in the corner. I get in the bathtub with Bella who was still slumped over. Carefully I remove her clothes, throwing them over my shoulder. And my god. I was awestruck as she was now completely naked in front of me. She was truly my everything, perfection.
Her body was truly magnificent but I bet her personality was a force to be reckoned with. I turn on their shower which was already altered to their personal liking. It felt like nothing against my dead cold skin but being so close to my…other half. She warmed me up more than the sun could've ever had. She stirs a bit, rubbing her eyes as the warm water gently cascades over her body. She shivers, groaning as she tries to get up. Even when mumbling to herself, it was music to my ears. I was falling for her, fast and very hard.
''Where am I?'' Her voice trembled as she regained some feeling to her legs. She must of noticed another person inside the bathtub with her. Bella's head shot up, her eyes widening when I smiled innocently at her. She didn't say anything afterwards.
''Hello Bella, I'm Kate…I came to help you?'' I reached my free hand out towards her slowly as not to frighten her.
''You.. You're a vampire..'' She whispers. ''What are you doing?! Who are you?'' She was finally acting like a creeped out human, scrambling to the other end of the bath.
''I'm an acquaintance of the Cullens, I came to deliver some information but stumbled across you. I wanted to help you.'' I tried again to be closer to her, this time she didn't resist. ''You can trust me. I mean you no harm, I promise.''
I think she remembered everything before she passed out as she collapsed in my arms, crying her eyes out once more.
''I can't believe he left me like that.''
''The Cullens have told me about you, you are Edwards mate, no?'' It pained me to say the word mate. I knew she was mine the moment I smelt that lovely scent but I had to make sure.
''Not anymore…He broke up with me. After all we've been through, he just left me like nothing happened. Like he didn't have an impact on my life.'' Bella loosens her hold on me, holding me at arm's length. Staring curiously into my eyes. ''Who are you to the Cullens? They've never told me about you.''
I giggled at her bluntness and continued to spray her down with the warm water, gently turning her around so her back was heating up too.
''I live with a coven up north of Alaska. We're considered to be 'cousins' of the Cullens, we're close and consider each other to be family. Maybe they were too caught up with such a beautiful creature like you to mention us.'' I grabbed a bottle labelled shampoo and lathered a generous amount in my hand, running it through her tangled mess of hair.
''It's okay! I can handle on my own!'' Her body blushes a deep shade of red, the blood sings to me but in a passionate and loving way. She was mine. I was sure it now.
''Don't be daft Bella, you've just been sleeping in the rain. Let me help you, my sweet.'' She gave up, soon sitting at my waist level. ''Tell me, why did they leave?'' She tensed up when I brought up the topic.
''They..'' Bella struggled to get the words out, taking a deep breath she continued bravely. ''I was at a party Alice had arranged even though I told her multiple times that I didn't want one. I gave in, stupidly. We were opening presents, one that Alice-'' She again chocked up at Alice's name. Alice must've been special to my girl but I wonder how special. ''-gave me. I was clumsy and I had a paper cut. Jasper lost control and tried attacking me. It was fine but Edward flung me across the room into glass and made it worse.''
By now I was sitting behind her, rinsing out the murky mud from her glorious brown locks. ''Hes such a brat. I never really liked Edward as a result of his childish behaviour. You must admit he is a drama queen.'' I grabbed another bottle, one for the body and started caressing her back with the layer of soap. ''You have lovely skin.''
Bella blushes at my comment, yes. She was indeed the child of her father. ''I barely know you, Kate. Why are you helping me….Saving me.''
''To be honest, my sweet. I only know one thing as of now. You are my mate and there is no denying it.'' It was a bold answer, I knew that. But jumping around the gun wasn't going to help anyone.
At this she flinches away and turns around with a ridiculous face. She points between her and I, opening her mouth as to speak non-existent words. I smirked at her reaction, it was truly adorable.
''Theres no way! I'm Edward's. I'm his mate, hes mine. I thought vampires only had one mate.''
''Oh my. To tell you the truth, Eddy boy has been lying to you'' I hissed his name out, refusing to say his name kindly. ''Would a true mate leave another? True mates can't be parted for long, let alone say goodbye willingly.''
Bella breaks down again, ''So when he said we were mates, he was lying? What for? Why would he do that, Kate?!'' She cries out. ''It hurts…It really hurts.''
''I don't know and I'll never forgive him for upsetting you, breaking you when you deserved much better. You may not know me well now but if you give me a chance to give you the love you've been missing. I swear on my undead life I will never leave you unless you ask me to.''
And with my declaration thrown out there carelessly, she slowly turned around fully. Exposing her gorgeous body to me. ''How do I know you're not lying to me, that you're one of the group that was hunting me?''
''Hunting you?!'' I growled, frightening her a little bit. I lowered my head apologetically before carrying on. ''How naïve of the Cullens to endanger you like that. Especially that boy you claim as your mate'' I spat out insults in another language, multiple in fact.
''You didn't answer my question, Kate.''
''Right,'' I smoothed my hair down nervously. Honestly, I didn't know how to prove it to her. We had just met in a really unexpected situation. We barely know each other, only on a name to name basis but we were naked comfortably talking to each other in her father's bathtub. How weird of us. I plugged the bath tub and started the taps at a reasonable temperature behind me. ''Well how about we first become friends? Isn't it how humans get to know each other before committing to each other?''
She didn't reply to this, instead staring at my eyes like it was an intricate painting. We didn't talk for a long time, until the water was almost to the brim of the bath. It was very surprising that she opened my legs. At first I thought she was experiencing lust but I couldn't smell it. She climbed in between my open thighs, resting her back against my front. It was amazing, the most intimate I've ever been with someone.
I sighed in content, closing my eyes and finding immense comfort being near my human mate. I would make sure anyone who has or has intent to do her any wrong, I will throw away my animal diet and kill whoever it is. I swear on it. Nothing will ever trouble my precious human.
But I was so caught up in my wonderland, I missed the whisper from outside near the tree lines.
''Bella… I love you, I'll come back when I can sneak away. I promise.''
