Esme walked up to the door she opened to the door gently to find a girl with a light brown, ragged pony tail. She had jeans and grey-t-shirt on with a blue sweater, all of which were soaking wet.

She was a vampire. Her gleaming red eyes and pale skin made it evident that she was a nomad. Esme couldn't help but notice the fear in her eyes as she looked down slightly.

"Hello mam. May I come in for a few minutes? she still had her hung her head down.

Esme was shocked, but the mothering side of her took hold as she said, "Of course." and led the girl inside.

Esme had no idea who she was, but her heart went out to the girl, she got the same feeling with all her adopted children.

Alice and Jasper were hunting, the cold and rain didn't bother us. Rosalie and Emmett we're upstairs, probably catching the girls sent right now. Edward was in the study with Carlisle. Esme immediately went into the bathroom to find a towel. When she came back, the girl had not moved, as if she was awaiting orders.

"Please, come and sit down." Esme offered gently, trying to relax the uneased girl.

"Thank you mam." she said quietly.

As she sat down, Esme couldn't help but notice how small the girl was, she must have been around fourteen or fifteen physically.

"Do you mind telling me your name?" Esme asked. At this moment Rosalie came rushing in, Emmett came walking in after a few seconds.

Rose began questioning. "Who are you and why are you hear?"

The girl had jumped up, fighting stance and all. The fierce look on her face subsided as Esme gently put her hand on the girl's shoulder.

Emmett's arm came around Rose's waist to keep her calm. They both sat down as the girl explained..

"If you must no I am being followed, I would love not to be found. I was running away. I smelled you, knew that y'all were our kind so I figured I could come and ask for help, it was worth a shot." the girl's face was glaring, even with Jasper absent, you could tell all the calm in the room was gone.

"And so you decided to come and put us in danger without thinking about it?" Rosalie retorted as if she knew better.

The girl's face slightly thoughtful, said, "I'm sorry. As I told you my objective was not to be found. I was not thinking about anything else."

"Wonderful." Rose muttered.

"That's enough Rose." Esme scolded, she then looked at the stranger in front of them slightly more relaxed. "would you give me your name?"

She looked at Esme's feet as she said, "Rachel."

"Well, Rachel, I would love for you to meet the rest of us so when you leave you will know us all. If you run into any of us again.

"That won't be nessesary mam." Rachel started as the door bell rang.

Edward appreared at the door way, to this day Esme was thankful he was to one who answered.

"Hello, have you seen a girl come by here? Brown hair and blue sweater? We need to find her." One of the two guys at the door asked sharply.

"No I'm afraid we cannot help you. Sorry." Edward answered straight to the point as Emmett came up behind him, looking giant behind him. Looking started, the two men left without word.

"Thank you." Rachel's head was down as hse quietly thanked Edward who gave her a nod in return.

As Esme introduced us, we heard the back door open, Jasper and Alice were home. We already guessed Alice had seen Rachel coming to us in a vision. Alice came walking in as if everything was normal.

"Hello! I'm Alice, and you are?"

Tipically, Alice came rushing to the girl and help out her hand for a shake. Our visitor was probably lucky she didn't get a huge hug.

"I'm Rachel." she said quietly as Alice beamed at her.

Alice spoke cheerfully. "Pleasure to meet you."

Rose growled at Rachel, causing her to snap her head in Rose's direction.

"I wouldn't worry to much about Rose." A low voice came from behind us. We all turned around to fine Jasper standing in the doorway.

"Then again, her bark isn't much worse than her bite."

Rachel's eyes went wide as she saw Jasper, the deep red color in her eyes seem to spark with a memory.

It must have been the scars on Jasper that scared her.

Then, Esme realized what made the girl look so stiff, yet familiar.

All along her neck and one she saw on her wrist. She had scars much like Jasper's.

Jasper made his approach to Rachel who took a shocking steps forward.

"Hello Rachel." Jaspers voice came out as he bowed his head ever so slightly.

After a few slow seconds, she spoke after swallowing. "Hello sir."

How did Jasper know what her name was? Had he heard earlier? Had Alice told him?

"How are you?" Jasper asked with one of his small smiles.

"Fine sir." Rachel looked nervous.

"Have you brought friends Rachel?"

Her head snapped up with a look of pure panic on her face. "No sir. I was followed but they left a few minutes ago." she added quickly.

Before Jasper could say anything else. Edward simply asked the question in all of our heads :You two know each other?"

"Yes, I trained her in my last years in Texas. Quite a newborn this one was. One of my best."

This made Rachel look up to meet his eyes for a split second. The compliment was obviously not given freely or very often.

"How old are you anyway?" Emmett asked with his arm still around Rosalie.

"I'm not sure, nighty maybe?" She answered softly.

"Rachel, why are you here?" Jasper asked, getting slightly more defensive. We didn't have visitors like her very often.

She hung her head down in shame. "I was escaping sir, I obviously didn't do a good job. I was reckless and didn't do what I was supposed too. She got really angry, upset like always. So this time I ran."

Jasper's face went down with hers. "Understandibly." He nodded.

"But sir I was a-"

"No you weren't, that is not being a cowered. Do you understand? You were brave, most people dont' leave because of fear. You did well."

"Yes sir."

Jasper sighed. Knowing his words did not help her feelings toward herself.

"Esme? Do you think-"

"Of course Jasper! Yes we must get you a room Rachel! Come upstairs we have a few extra's you can pick"

"Thats not need mam. I don't have to-"

"Yes! I insist!" Esme's mind was made up, this vampire wouldn't be going back out there any time soon.
