Today is my first day as a sophomore, and I'm starting school at forks high school, my name is Isabella Marie Cullen. I was born long ago in England. After my mother left my dad, and me we, lived happily. Until my dad went missing right after I turned 16. I know he's not dead, I would know if he were; it was a connection that we had. But now I'm frozen in time, 16 forever, I'm a Vampire. And I think that's what my dad is, a vampire. I would know if he were dead, it was a connection that we had. I'm going to find him, because he is out there, somewhere.

I pretend that my mom was out of town. That was always my story, sometimes I wish it were true, true that my mom was just on a vacation and was coming back. But she is not and I always wondered if I did something wrong, like it was my fault. If my dad were here he would tell me that it wasn't my fault. I would cry myself to sleep thinking that my mom left because she wasn't happy with me, and knowing that she ever loved me, if she did, she would have stayed or visited or even said goodbye. You know that whole week before she left; she wouldn't look me in the eye, or say I love you. She barley talked to me or looked at me. I saw her once, a year after she left, and she saw me and ran. She knew it was me and a look of disgust crossed he face, in the moment that ours eyes locked. I try not to think about her, but it's hard.

At 6am I decided to get ready so I took a quick shower, and let my hair dry curly. I got dressed in dark was skinny jeans, and brown flat boots that went up to my knee, and a blue tank top with a brown zip up sweater on top of it. My hair went down to about the middle of my back and was a rich brown, and I did my make up light, a little eyeliner, cover up, and lip-gloss. I went outside and into the gloomy air; I wasn't sunny, just rainy. I looked back at the apartment building I was living in, and to tell you the truth it's a dump. I ran to school I got there in a few seconds. It was small compared to other schools I have been to. I found the main office quick and got in and out quick.

Gym

Yes that was my schedule, I hated how they made you take gym all four years, I mean I can do everything but I don't like to. Anyway my morning classes were slow, and I was finally time for lunch, as I walked into the lunchroom and sat at an empty table, until this boy came up to me,

"Hey I'm Mike Newton." He put his hand out for me to shake it, and I did,

"I'm Bella Cullen." I told him, his eyes went wide

"Are you related to those other Cullen's? You know Edward, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper?" that's weird, I wonder if they know my dad?

"Not that I know of. Who are there parents?" I asked looking at him

"Doctor Carlisle Cullen, and Esme Cullen. They adopted them all." I knew that my eyes grew, and I was suddenly anxious.

"Umm… I really have to go, It was nice meeting you." And I ran out of there, my dad is alive! I knew it! I was happy and terrified at the same time. What do I say? What if his new family doesn't want me? What if he doesn't want me? I don't know if I can do it.

NO you have to do it, don't worry it will all be fine, he is and always will be your father, he loves you. He is not your mom and if he does say he wants you to leave you will, and you will and you will never look back! A voice inside my head shouted, and it was right. I guess that I was afraid that he would leave me like mom did, and have the same disgust that was in mom's eyes.

I would go to him, tonight. Track his sent, and see him. But first I needed to hunt first.

After hunting it was about 9:00pm, and I am terrified, I just picked up a sent and I was leading my into the woods, soon I found a large white house, it had an old style to it, something that my dad might like. Hesitantly I waked up the steps and knocked on the door. A woman with brown hair answered the door

"Hello, how can I help you?" she asked

"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but does a Carlisle Cullen live here?" I noticed her stiffen

"Umm yes, he's in his study.I'll go get him for you. Would you like to come inside to wait for him?" I nodded and she opened the door wider

"You can go take a seat if you would like, he should be down I a minute."

"Thank you." She smiled kindly at me and walked up the stairs, I looked around the room, it was very nice, and the couches were white. I really couldn't concentrate on anything, I was too nervous but at the same time exited. I was brought out of my thoughts by someone, I turned to look at them and they stopped right in their traps it was my dad.

"Bella?" he whispered, I was standing by now, I nodded my head. I didn't even see dad run to me the next thing I knew dad had me in a hug, it was the hugs that I remembered, a fatherly hug. He released me after a moment,

"How are you? Are you well?" his voice was anxious.

"I'm as well as I will ever be. I missed you, dad." I looked up at him, because he was always taller than me.

"I have missed you too. How have you been, and your mother, how was she after I… well you know." I don't know what to tell him? The truth? Yes that's it the truth.

"I am much better now that I have found you. And after you went missing, mom stopped talking to me, for a mother she seemed kind of normal, but a week before she split, she didn't talk to me, didn't want to hardly look at me and never said good bye. I saw her about a year later, she saw me and ran. I haven't seen her since." We were sitting down now and dad pulled me into a hug.

"I am so sorry, sweetheart." I sighed

"Lets change the subject. So were is your family?" I asked. I wanted to here about them.

"Ah. Yes. My wife Esme, who answered the door, Emmett and Rosalie are married and two of my children, then Alice and Jasper they are also married and two more of my children, and then we have Edward, he was the first of my new kids." He looked at me

"Are you happy?" I asked

"Yes I am very happy, especially now that my Bella has found me." I laughed

"Esme seems very nice, actually extremely nice. I'm happy that you have found someone to be truly happy with. I don't want to ruin that, or any of this for you. Because it seems that everything I touch I ruin. So I'm going to go before I ruin this." I turned to go, but dad grabbed my wrist

"Bella I don't want you to go. I need all of my family here for me to be happy. Please stay, stay here with me and the rest of my family. I have room and enough money to support us all." He pleaded

"I'll stay, but if I cause any trouble than I am out of here. I cant and wont ruin everything that you have worked on and built here." He smiled and pulled me into a hug, I pulled away after a moment

"I have to go home now, I'm getting tired." He looked at me with curious eyes

"You sleep?" I nodded

"Yes, I brought some human traits with me in this new life. I sleep and can eat human food."

He nodded his head

"Where are you staying?"

"I live at those apartments, off the main road-"

"Bella those apartments are a rats nest! I cant let you stay there, you may stay in the guest room until yours is finished." I sighed

"I have to go get my stuff. I will need clothing." I challenged

"Alice went shopping. Now I will show you to your room and you may sleep." my father walked me up to the room. it was white but with a little black here and there. the bed was so soft i fell asleep the moment I laid down.
