AN: This is my first story so please tell me if it is good or not so I can make it better. Please beta my story!

Here I am in Deer Park, Washington scrubbing the floors of Ms Sandra's kitchen thinking what the hell I doing here and then I think I know why but I'll have to tell you about me first. My name is Isabella Swan and I'm 13 years old and a can see ghosts. I was 3 I figured this out. The first one I meet was named Sherry. She was beautiful. She had big blue eyes that sparkled and long brown hair that flowed down her back. Her skin was pail, almost translucent but suited her because her night gown was a navy blue that made her skin glow.

"Hello, Bella." She said.

"Hi. Who are you?" I asked wondering how this woman got into my room with out my mom and Phil noticing.

"My name is Sherry and I'm a ghost. " she said mater-of-factually. " I came to see if you could help me. " she said with a pout.

" Why do you need my help, I'm only 3? " I said. " Am I the only one that can see you or is it that you don't like anybody else or what? "

" Yes, you are the only person that can see and hear me. The reason I need your help is that I died in a car crash and my son was in the back seat and I would like to see him on last time before I leave and I need your help to find him."

" Then why are you wearing a night gown if you died in a car crash?" I asked studying her outfit.

" I was on the way home from the hospitable after giving birth to him and this what I had on because it was easy to move around in. " she said looking at her gown. Thinking about the situation I made up my mind on what I was going to do.

" I'll help you find your son only if you do me something?" I said.

" what is that little one?"

" I what to know what you meant by saying 'before I leave'. " I said eying her.

" I meant go to heaven sweetie."

After that we talked and then I found her son which lives down the street from me she thanked me and then walked into a bright light and was gone. Soon more ghosts would come and ask for my help and my mom and Phil started to ask why there 4 year old daughter was always in my room talking to nobody – or as it seems – and then left at strange periods of the day and come back after dark. I would always say ' I was out helping the ones that need it most' then walk away.

That brings me back to why I'm here on my hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen. My parents both are dead and know I'm an orphan and every 3 years I'm sent some where else until someone adopts me and so far no one has.

" Bella stop daydreaming this instant! " Ms. Sandra yells.

" sorry. " I said and look up and see Annie (an: Annie is a ghost so only Bella can see her.) siting there pointing to the clock saying it's time to get ready. I nodded my head saying I'm coming. As soon as Ms. Sandra walks away Annie starts to clean -a what seems like- lighting speed and is done in about one minute.

' Thanks. Sorry I'm late. Ms. Sandra said I had to clean the floors before the guests get here." I said.

" It's ok you know why, Well I'm going to tell you why,YOUR GETING ADOPTED! " she screams. She may be a ghost but that still was painfully loud.

" Really you mean a family wants to keep me for forever. This is so awesome. I can't believe it. I'm so excited. Hey, your still going to stay right? " I said all in one breath.

" Of course. I could never leave you, I love you too much to do that." she says and come and gives me a hug.

" Hey, how did you find out about this? "

" I was watching Mr. Watkins all month to see where you were going to be moved but it seems like you will be moving to " she was cut off by the door bell ringing.

" It's him! It's him! " she screamed running down the hall and into the foyer were the front door is.

" I'll get it! " I hollered down the hall as I walked up to the door and opened it to find – just like Annie said – Mr. Watkins sanding there with his brief case and a huge smile on fresh shaved face his face. He was about 6'2 with wide shoulders and dark tan skin with dark curly hair.

" Hello little lady." he said with is county ascent coming out. " I got some good news for you. Do you know where Mr. Sandra is so we can talk to her."

" I think she is in her room. Why don't we go check? " I said heading up the stairs with him and Annie on my tail. When I got to her room I knocked and heard a muffled 'come in'. I opened the door but let Mr. Watkins go in first and followed in behind Annie.

" Hello, Ms. Sandra. I'm pleased to see you again. I'm here to inform you that Miss. Bella has been adopted and will no longer be staying with you, so Bella go start packing. Your flight leaves tomorrow at 11am and I'll pick you up at 10am sharp. " and I ran to my room and started packing.

Around 10pm Ms. Sandra called me to hear room. I walked up the stairs and in too her room to find her there with a random guy she picked up this afternoon lying on her bed with only his pants on that I may say were sagging a little too low for my taste.

" yes ms. Sandra. You called. " I said trying to not look at Mr. sagging.

" yes I know I called, I'm not stupid. I called you up here for your punishment. " she said.

" what punishment? I did nothing wrong, so there shouldn't be a punishment." I said thinking she had a little much to drank this evening.

" yes, yes you did, you are leaving me to do all the chores in this house in this house so you must be punished." she said and with that she grabbed my arm and turned me over and smacked me on the back with on of the wooden planks we used to served bread on. I screamed and they laughed and hit me about 4 more times. Finally, seeming to get bored with my pain, she trough me down and when to make out with Mr. Sagging. I got up and ran to my room with my back burning with fire and jumped on my bed and cried my eyes out.

I awoke with my shirt being pulled up and something cold being put on it. I tried to turn over to see what it was but then I was pushed back down and then Annie said " sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. "

" It's ok and thank you for the ice it feels so good." I said and closed my eyes. I was used to this kind of treatment from both Annie and Ms. Sandra. I would always get beat up by her then in the morning Annie would help me with anything I needed.

" This looks like the baddest bruise you have ever had. It's kind of scary and I'm the ghost." she said with a laugh and then sighed. " what happened last night to make her do this to you? " she whispered.

" she said something about 'how I was leaving her all the chores and I needed to be punished' and then snacked me across the back 5 times with that thing we serve bread on. " I said while rubbing my back.

" THAT EVIL SON OF A BICH HOW! DARE SHE DO THAT TO YOU AND GET AWAY WITH THAT! SHE SOULD BE IN JAIL FOR WHAT SHE DID TO YOU NOT SLEEPING WITH MR. SAGGING! ARG! ASS WHOLE! " I got one word for you 'ow'.

" Annie it's ok, calm down. I will never have to see her again after today so just breath or if you need to release some anger you can help me finish packing my stuff. " I said with a smile. She nodded her head yes and started packing while I walked to my closet to pick out what I was going to wear.

" I already picked out your outfit. Hope you like it because I'm forcing you to wear it if you like it or not. " she said with a smile. " go shower and get dressed, while I finish packing and then I'll do your makeup. The outfit is on the bathroom counter. " she said and shushed me away.

After my shower I got changed in a pair of lime green skinny jeans with a cream tiered lace camisole. Annie added a zebra print belt with gray hi top converse. Then a black cropped leather motorcycle jacket, neon green star necklace, a green flower bag with pink zipper and pink and black Avril Lavinge bracelets. ( AN: outfit on profile.)

I came out to see everything – and I do mean everything – packed up and all in suitcases and by my door.

" OMG! " We both yelled and started to laugh.

" Bella you look hot girl. " she said drowning out girl.

" Why thank you and thank you for packing up everything for me. " I said hugging her.

" Your welcome. Now come on and let me get started on your hair and makeup. " She said while dragging me into the bathroom.

She gave me a smokey eye that made my eyes pop and showed me how to do it in case I messed it up. Then, she put a little mascara on and then a little bit of pink lip gloss. Finally, she straighten my hair and put two clips in my hair, one with a pink bow and one with a green bow, to keep some of my hair out of my face. ( AN: clips in the outfit picture on my profile.) When she was finally done I looked in the mirror and squealed and hugged her.

" Thank you. I look like a super model. " I said.

" Your welcome and you always look like a super model to me. " she said and hugged me again. There was a knock on the door and we both squealed and ran down the hallway to the door. When I opened it there was Mr. Watkins is a very nice navy suite and tie.

" Hello Bella. Are you ready to go? " he asked looking down the hall probably for Ms. Sandra.

" Yeah, I gust have to get my bags and then we can go. Do you mind helping me? " I asked with a small smile.

" of course. Do you mind me asking were is Ms. Sandra? " he asked looking around. When he got to my room he took two of my suitcases and my duffel and started off for the car. I grabbed the other two and fallowed him.

" Not at all. She is gust still sleeping that's all. " I said. We got to the car and put in the suitcases and then he walked back into the house.

" Is that it. Nothing else. " he said looking around again.

" there is nothing else here that is mine. Are you ready to go?" I asked

" Yes, lets go." he said walking to the car and got in. I fallowed and got in the passenger seat. He drove to the airport and we made it jest in time. I wasn't paying attention to anything jest thinking about my new family and hoping they were nice and the at lease liked me. The last thing I remember is thinking about how can Annie bye and afford this outfit I'm wearing if she is dead and a ghost.

AN: please tell me whether you like this or not. The outfit is on my profile and please,please,please review my story. It's almost as good as Bella getting adopted!
