I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! STEPHANIE MEYER DOES!

Preface:

The screen switched to the news. There was an accident on Highway 75.

"Three people were in the car," the news person said.

Three people? How sad.

"All are dead and the car was a 1995 Lexus."

What? A 1995 Lexus? Oh My God. I called 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

I sobbed. "About the accident on 75… I think I know who those people are…"

Chapter 1:

Taylor's POV

I stared down at the 3 graves in front of me. One was a little smaller than the others which contained my brother's body. I had cried all my tears out when they first confirmed that it was, in fact, my parents. I couldn't cry anymore. Everyone was continually watching me, making sure that I didn't kill myself. I would never do that, though, but they still watched me like a hawk.

My social worker, Nelly, greeted me at my room. I was in the middle of playing my acoustic guitar which had been inscribed by parents when they bought it for me on my 12th birthday.

"Hello, Taylor," she said. I smiled and waved. I didn't talk much now, and when I did it wasn't for very long.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked.

I nodded and walked to her car with her. We were going back to my old home to retrieve some left over items. When we arrived, I took a box from the car and walked into the house. I took in all the familiar sights and smells and ran up to my old room. The house was now in my name, and I would take full ownership of it when I turned 18 and became a legal adult.

I put in some of my favorite items that I couldn't bear to part with. My books had all been packed up so there wasn't much to get. I walked to our guest room where all of my brother and I's favorite video games were located. I grabbed just a few of our favorite that I knew he would kill me for if he found out I had left them. I walked to his room and took his old pillow that I had always made fun of although I was joking.

I went to my parent's room and took the lock box that had our birth certificates and all of our family documents. I grabbed my mom's jewelry box and went back downstairs to get some other personal items. I walked back out to Nelly's car and sat inside. She turned back to look at me.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I nodded. I didn't trust my voice to talk. I didn't want to cry and I wasn't going to. We drove back to the orphanage that I was staying at for a few weeks. If someone didn't adopt me in one month, I would be sent to live with family. That was the last thing I wanted. I didn't think of my family's death as a lost as much as I thought of it as a chance to start fresh. I wanted to travel the world, meet new people, and being with my family would be too heartbreaking.

She walked me up to my room when we got back.

"Well, I'm leaving now," Nelly said, cautiously.

I nodded, and she walked out of the room. I didn't start blubbering like a baby when she left. In fact, I went through the box I had filled making sure I didn't forget anything. Of course it wouldn't matter since I would get the house back when I turned 18. Either way it made me feel better and I felt hopeful. The only thing that I wished for was that someone would adopt me… and fast.

Edward's POV

We all entered the house after getting back from hunting. Emmett was laughing while Alice was fuming about him pushing her into the river. Jasper was trying desperately to calm her. Rosalie was...well... Rosalie. Carlisle looked worried when we came in. I looked at him curiously. I tried to key in to what he was thinking, but he had completely distracted himself with something else.

"I'm glad you guys are here," he said.

Uh oh... what did we do this time? Alice thought.

Whatever it was I didn't do it, Emmett thought.

I chuckled.

"Don't worry you aren't in trouble," he said. Emmett and Alice sighed in relief. "You see, the adoption agency called asking if we'd adopt a child."

Rosalie immediately brightened up. "Who is it? What's her name? Do you have pictures? How old is she?"

"I'll have to plan her room!" Esme said excitedly. "I wonder what kinds of food she'll eat."

"Forget food!" Alice exclaimed. "What kind of clothes does she wear?"

I laughed. She was so excited she didn't even stop to glare at me.

"Her name is Taylor. I do have pictures and her family died in a car accident. She has more family, but she doesn't want to go live with any of them. She is sixteen years old." He looked cautiously at them. Rosalie's face fell slightly, but Esme and Alice were even more excited.

"I think we should vote. I vote yes!" Alice said.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Sure, why not? Emmett might actually find someone to relate too," Jasper said, rolling his eyes.

"Hell Yeah! This could be fun!"

"I suppose so..." I said. Alice and Rose glared at me. "I don't want to take this away from them so sure."

They lit back up.

"You said you had pictures?" Jasper asked.

Carlisle nodded. He took out an envelope that contained three pictures. One was a picture of a girl with light brown hair in a single braid. She was wearing t-shirt with a giant peace sign on it and some jeans. She was sitting on a swing. She had a very pretty smile.

The second picture was of the same girl with two guys. She was in the middles with her arm on one guys shoulder and another around his waist. Her hair was in a messy pony tail , her shirt had a bunch of dirt on it, and her jeans were all ripped at the knees. The last picture was of her in a t-shirt and jeans with a guitar in her hands. She was sitting on a bed in, I would guess, her room.

Alice picked up that picture and said, "Well now we know what she likes in her room."

I smiled at my sister. Alice was really happy and Rose and Esme were excitedly talking about plans for her arrival. My family was happy and that all I should ask for. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.

"When is she coming?" Rosalie asked before I could speak.

"In 5 days," Carlisle answered. It seemed that even he was a bit excited. I guess seeing his family happy made him happy too. I was still skeptical.

"What are we going to do about us?" I asked. Everyone knew what I meant. They all got quiet for a minute.

"Well, we'll have to tell her about us being vampires when she comes."

Everyone nodded. I nodded and walked out to go to Bella's house. Boy, would she be excited. I chuckled at the thought of her face.

How is it so far? Please review! This is just my first story but I accept critism. BYE!
