Basically Nessie has been kidnapped and doesn't remember where she comes from. This will be her journey back to the Cullens and to find love. So watch this space. i hope you enjoy the start.=)

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around at the grey walls that surrounded me. I felt really disorientated and I had no idea where I was. I traced my fingers along the smooth white sheets, they weren't familiar to me. There was nothing about this place that I remembered at all. I had absolutely no memory of what had happened to me before the moment I had opened my eyes. What did it mean that I couldn't even remember my name? I stretched and gazed around the room some more, my body felt stiff, as if I had been asleep for a long time. I was suddenly aware of a movement by the door. I flinched as he entered the room. Was he someone I could trust?

"Dear one you are awake." He said with an eerie smile.

I had a bad feeling about him. Deep down in the pit of my stomach the desire to run felt overpowering. His voice had a soothing edge to it but it did little to comfort me. My mind was a mixture of questions and images that I couldn't make sense of. It was like a story that I was dying to read but a whole lot of pages were missing. I was a stranger in my own life. Why couldn't I remember anything? Faces of people I didn't recognize blurred through my mind. Was I supposed to know them? Did they mean something to me? What if they were important and I couldn't figure out who they were? I yearned to know their names. Three faces stood out the most in my mind. One was a man with Reddish brown hair and he had golden eyes. His eyes seemed to look right into my soul and as I thought of his face he seemed to be trying to communicate something to me. It was all so confusing. The other person I saw was a woman with amber eyes and the most beautiful face I had ever seen. She had brown hair which glistened in the sunlight and her smile was gentle. The third image that haunted me was a russet colored wolf. He had deep black eyes and I could see the person behind those eyes. They bored into mine.

"Are you alright?" He asked startling me from my pondering. I was suddenly back, in the grey room again.

I stared into his crimson eyes.

"I don't remember who I am or what happened to me. Why am I here?"

I fired the question at him desperately seeking an answer. I needed to know who those people were; there was something about them that made me want to find them. I felt drawn to them by some inexplicable force.

"Don't fret young one. You are part of our family now. That is all you need to know."

"Why won't you tell me who I am?" I shouted angrily feeling close to tears.

"Carlie you need to give it some time. We are going to take good care of you." He said stroking my arm soothingly. His touch was ice cold and I shivered as I felt the goose bumps all along my arm. The texture of his skin felt wrong. It was smooth but there was something different about the texture which I couldn't put my finger on.

"Is that what my name is? Carlie?" I breathed as I felt suddenly relieved to finally have one answer.

"Yes a name fit for such a magnificent creature." He crooned.

"What is your name?" I asked shyly

"Oh forgive my rudeness. I am Aro." He said taking my hand in his. I had to control my shudder at his casual touch. He pretended not to notice my reaction.

"How about we take a tour of the place Carlie? Would you like that?" he asked expectantly.

"Sure I would like that."

I was anxious to find out more about this place. Maybe something would trigger a memory in me. I vowed that I would find out who I was. This strange man Aro was a blur as he left the room. How did he move so fast? I followed him with an air of cautiousness. The place that I found myself standing in was huge. I gasped as I took it all in. I stared at the high ceilings with wide eyes. It was some of the most intricate architecture I had ever seen, I was sure even though I didn't know about my past.. The walls had almost a golden glow but I noticed that there were no windows letting any natural light in.

"This place is magnificent isn't it?" He said pleased by my reaction.

"Yes, I have never seen a place as huge as this before, or at least I don't think I have." I said sadly

"So what do you think of your home?"

"Well I don't know; I am finding it difficult to adjust."

"You will love it here, I am sure of it. You fit in with people who are more like ourselves anyway."

I picked up on what he had just said.

"What do you mean people like us?" I asked curiously.

"We are vampires!"

I stepped back in fear.

"What did you say?" I stuttered staring at him in shock.

His milky crimson eyes seemed to have a hint of amusement behind them.

"You have no reason to be afraid of what we are. You are a part of our world."

"No I am not." I spat

Was this guy on something?

"Carlie you are half human and half vampire. You have the desire for blood just like us."

My legs suddenly felt extremely weak and I sank towards the ground. I was a freak, some kind of dangerous mythical creature. Had I killed anyone in my past? What had I done in my quest to satisfy my thirst? I had no answers to these questions which truly scared me. No I couldn't wrap my mind around it. There was no way that I would believe what he was telling me. He was just trying to confuse me even worse than I already was.

"I want to see a mirror." I demanded.

"Whatever you wish my dear."

He moved so fast again that I battled to keep up with him. Damn annoying vampire I grumbled silently. As we rushed along, the placed seemed way too silent. He suddenly came to an abrupt stop and I waited for my breath to catch up.

"There we are, go ahead and take a look."

I gulped and slowly I lifted my eyes from the floor. I was afraid of what I would see. What if he wasn't lying to me? Then I would have to accept who I was. I stared in awe at the face in the mirror. I stood there for a long time, letting it sink in. Warm chocolate brown eyes gazed intently back at me. I recognized some features like my eyes and mouth from the two faces which had plagued my mind from the moment I had woken up. I could see a mixture of their features in my face. They must be my family. Maybe they were here and ready to welcome me. Once I saw them maybe my memory would return. Golden red curls fell softly against my cheeks. How strange it was that I had no idea who the girl in the mirror was. I could see something buried deep behind the eyes but I wondered if I would ever know what it was. I was starting to believe that he wasn't lying to me at all. I could feel my heart beating slightly too fast. I was definitely something more than human. By the way Aro moved I believed he was something mythical too

"I don't look like you. If I am a vampire then why don't I have eyes like yours?"

"As I mentioned before you are a half vampire. There are some differences. There is a lot to explain and you can't expect to know every single thing today. Let me finish giving you the tour."

"What is the difference anyway? Why can't I know now?" I said folding my arms against my chest, glaring at his amused face. I wasn't going to give in that easily. He couldn't just spring the fact, that I am a vampire, on me and not expect that I might just have a few questions.

"Ah what I would give to be young again. The beauty of impatience." He chuckled.

I glared at him

"Patience dear child, you won't be in the dark forever. I have big plans for you."

"Fine but this won't be the last you will be hearing about this. I deserve some answers." I challenged

"Yes of course Carlie but for now I want to get you acquainted with your surroundings and to meet the rest of the family." He said gesturing for me to follow him. As we carried on I wondered about the absence of windows again. I decided to take a chance and see if he would answer another of my questions.

"Why aren't there any windows?" I wondered

"Our skin sparkles if direct sunlight shines on it. If we go out in the sun, it will expose us for what we are."

My heart sank.

"Does that mean I can't go outside either?" I asked disappointed as I didn't want to stay cooped up inside.

"Your skin has a glow to it in the sun but not enough to expose us. You may go outside if you wish.

I breathed a sigh of relief that was something at least.

"So where is everyone?"

"They are all gathered in the throne room."

"Are you some sort of royalty?"

"Yes I suppose you could say that." He chortled

'So you rule over the vampire world then?"

"Well not officially, but we take it upon ourselves to make sure that the rules of our kind are obeyed."

"There are rules!" I panicked

"Yes the most important being keeping our existence a secret. No human can know that we are alive."

"Well no offense but your eyes are sort of a giveaway."

"We don't venture out unless we have to clean up a mess that a vampire might have left if they get a bit overzealous and the humans start to get suspicious. We have Heidi who blends in and brings us food. It works well for all of us."

"The food being blood from a human?"

"Yes."

I felt sick at the thought. Was I really like them?

"I don't know if I will be able to handle that."

"Carlie you can survive on normal food too. You don't have to drink blood but once you smell the scent I wonder if you will be able to resist."

"I will resist, but where can I get normal food?"

"It has all been taken care of, Nahuel is like you and so we have a supply of normal food. He seems to rather enjoy going to the shops."

"There is someone else who is half human, half vampire."

"Yes and he has been dying to meet you."

I felt excited to meet someone else like me. Suddenly I felt a little less like a freak, knowing that I wasn't alone in all of this. Maybe he would be able to help answer some of my questions. I felt cheered at the thought as we finally made it to the throne room. There were a lot of people standing around and I gasped in shock. There were so many vampires. I was fearful of them, wondering what they would think of me.

"Everyone this is Carlie, our new addition to the family." He said pulling me in front of him. All eyes were suddenly locked on me and I felt self conscious. Most of the faces seemed indifferent as they stared at me except for one. After a moment they lost interest all except for the olive skinned boy with the beautiful black hair ,who I had noticed immediately as I walked into the room. He was smiling at me. He came over and introduced himself.

"Hi I am Nahuel." He said taking my hands in his.

"Hello, I am Carlie." I said shyly

"I know." He laughed

"Oh right." I said feeling like an idiot. Of course he did as I had just been introduced to everyone. Aro had also told me that Nahuel knew about my arrival.

"Would you like me to show you around outside?" he asked kindly

"That sounds great."

I was desperate for some fresh air.

He led me to two huge brass doors and opened them with ease. I wondered if I was that strong. I squinted as we stepped out into the brightness.

It was beautiful. I could hear the waves crashing nearby and I smelt the salt in the air.

"So what is this place?" I asked
