RaeAnna's pov

I woke up with an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Someone was here with me. I was unsure of the scent. Unknowing of what I was doing until it was done, I sat up. It was to late; they seen me. To my comfort their eyes weren't red as I expected but instead light blue. I turned my head in confusion; she smiled at me. Her youthful appearance gave the illusion she was five or six at the most, the same age as me. She eased toward me, the grin had not left her face. Her curly brown hair, which brimmed her rib cage, bounced with the stride of her feet over the rocks. I was unable to hear anything but the trickle of the stream next to me. She crouched beside me and spoke softly.

"What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same," I muttered.

"True," she said, a smile played at the corner of her mouth. " but if you must know, I travel through here quite a bit."

"So do I," I admitted.

"My name is Joslynn by the way," she said, extending her hand for me to take. I was a little hesitant at first but finally took her hand and she lifted me to my feet.

"RaeAnna," was all I said, still not trusting this stranger.

"If you travel through here a lot then why haven't I noticed you before?" she questioned.

"I never stay in one place for too long," I answered automatically.

"Where are your parents? You look five or six. You shouldn't be out here by yourself," she asked with genuine concern.

"What does it matter to you?" I asked a little harsher then I intended. She frowned and looked a bit hurt by my tone.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't pry into your personnal business, I guess," she said, looking down.

"No, it alright. The parents thing is kinda a sour subject for me. I lost my mother the night I was born and my father... He isn't exactly the fatherly type." I didn't know why I told her all that but then her sad expression turned happy.

"I knew it. Your just like me! I thought you were but I had to make sure..."

"Oh, wait. What do you mean I'm just like you?" I asked a little shocked at her outburst.

"Your a half-human, half-vampire hybrid. I knew I would find you one of these days!" she continued and then clapped her hands excitedly.

"Find me?" I asked confused.

"Sorry, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Let me explain. You see, I have a gift and I know of yours. I can see into the future. It's a little subjective sometimes but it's conveniant. I seen you and parts of your past in a few of my visions and I knew one day I would find you and here we are," she explained. My day is starting off weird and I had a feeling it was only going to get weirder. However, It was a nice surprise to learn she was a hybrid much like myself.

"What did you see us doing?"

"I seen us finding the rest of our family. The most wonderful family. One anyone would kill to have. With aunts and uncles and moms and dads and grandparents and even a cousin too," she answered as she dance away from me on the rocks.

"A family," I spoke in disbelief.

"Yes," she said when she stopped spinning. "I'll be glad to tell you about them."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Could I really have all that even after I killed my mother by just being born? After my father abandoned me a few years after my tragic birth? I could be happy and Joslynn was the key.

"Please, tell me everything." I demanded as I ran to her. She smiled.

"Well where do I begin?" She pondered for a moment then began the history of our soon-to-be family.

"The leader of the coven and our soon-to-be grandfather is Carlisle Cullen. He was changed over three hundred years ago by a vampire he was hunting. When he lived, everyone believed in vampire and witches and his father hunted them but many innocent people were hurt. After his fathers death, Carlisle took over and stumbled across a small coven of real vampires and he was bitten. He stayed quiet during his transformation to avoid detection. He knew if he got caught he would be killed. When he awoke into his new life he hated what he had become and tried to kill himself but found no way. He even tried starving himself but the burn became to much for him and he drank from a herd of deer passing by his hiding spot. He found he didn't have to drink from humans and so he became 'vegetarian' so to speak.

He swam to Italy and stayed with the Volturi for a while. The Volturi are the closest thing vampires have to royalty and it's their responsibility to enforce the rules. They don't have many just keep the existence of their kind a secret and no one is aloud to create an immortal child. After leaving the Volturi he became Dr. Carlisle Cullen and was helping with the Spanish influenza where he met Edward, the first member of his coven, who's parents already died from the disease. He was only seventeen and the year was 1918. Just as Carlisle had, Edward hated what he had become. Edward had a special gift. He can read minds. A few years later, Dr. Cullen change his mate and now wife Esme after she lost her only son a few hours after his birth and attempted suicide.

Edward went into his rebellious years were he drank from evil human beings but eventually came back to Carlisle and Esme. The next person to join the family was one Rosalie Hale after her fiance and his friends left her dying in the street after, uh, doing some bad stuff to her. Rosalie got her revenge on her ex-fiance and his friends shortly after that. More time passed and Rosalie was out hunting by herself and found a man being mauled by a bear. She killed the bear before it could kill the man and carried him a hundred miles back to Carlisle so he could change him. She was afraid she would kill him if she tried to change him herself. That is her mate and husband Emmett. While hunting they ran into the spirit warriors of the Quiliet tribe of Indians who protect humans from vampires but they did not fight, instead they made a treaty saying that the Cullens can't come on Quiliet land or bite humans and in return they would not harm the Cullens." Wow this girl can talk, I thought to myself.

"After a decade or so came two new members Alice and Jasper. Alice can see the future sorta like I can but with some differences. She was able to see the future in her human life as well and was changed in a insane asylum. When she woke up she couldn't remember anything of her human life but seen the Cullen's and Jasper in her future so she searched for Jasper first. Jasper had been a major in the civil war until an immortal named Maria changed him for her army. She created an army to control all the territories where the most blood was found. He was her second in command because he could control emotions. It was his responsibly to train and dispose of her newborns. He grew tired of it and left Maria and her army and met Alice in a dinner of all places." She chuckled at the last sentence. "They found the Cullen's and made themselves at home quickly."

"Now the only person without a mate was Edward of course. A few tried for his affection but none were as persistant as Tonya. Tonya and her sisters were like cousins to the Cullen's. Edward soon fell in love with a human girl named Bella who was his singer. Her blood was most delectable to him and he could not read her mind but she was a danger magnet. She found out that Edward was a vampire and shortly after they began dating she drew the attention of a tracker named James and his coven members Victoria and Laurant. James tricked Bella into thinking he had her mom and she raced to him were he didn't have her mom but he held a secret from Alice's past. Alice had been his singer but was changed before he could kill her. James bit Bella but Edward was there in time to kill James and suck the venom out of Bella.

At Bella's 18th birthday party she got a paper cut and, unable to control his blood lust, Jasper tried to attack her but again Edward saved her. He left her the next day. She became very depressed and confided in her best friend Jacob Black, who was in love with her. Jacob was a shapeshifter that turned into a gigantic wolf since he was Quiliet indian. He wasn't the only one, there were about nine others. Bella figured out he was a werewolf after the wolves killed Laurant who tried to kill Bella as a favor for James' mate Victoria. Bella was into extreme sports after Edward left because her subconscious gave her hallucinations of Edward when she would risk her life. She went cliff diving when Jacob was off hunting Victoria who had come back to kill Bella. She almost drowned but Jacob saved her. Alice can't see the wolves so she just saw Bella jump and she raced to forks to find out if she was really dead. Believing Bella was dead, Rosalie called Edward to tell him. He called Bella's house and asked for Bella's dad Charlie and Jacob answered the phone and told Edward, Charlie was at the funeral. Charlie was at his friend Harry's funeral but Jacob didn't clarify that to Edward. Edward then raced off to the Volturi for them to kill him. Alice and Bella saved him but to save Bella's life, Alice promised Aro, the leader of the Volturi who could read every thought you ever had with just one touch of his hand, that Bella would become a vampire. Edward and Bella were back together afterwards."

She stopped the tale and was breathing hard from all the talking. I gave her a few minutes and I tried to process all she was telling me but it was a lot to take in all in one day. Once she was ready, she began again.

"The date for her transformation was set after her graduation from high school but Victoria created an army to distroy Bella. The wolves and the Cullen's joined forces to protect Bella and won against the newborns. Bella wanted Edward to change her himself. They agreed that if Bella married Edward, he would change her himself. They were married but the transformation was put off again because Bella became pregnant with Renesmee. The birth almost killed Bella but Edward agian saved her and she was finally an immortal. Her power was that she could shield herself and others against mental attacks that happen within the mind. Jacob imprinted on Renesmee. Imprinting is when a werewolf finds their sole mate or the person they were ment to be with and since they don't age unless they choose to, Jacob could wait on Renesmee to grow up," she finally finished and dramatically fell on a soft pile of dirt and pretended to be dead. The rues didn't last long before we both burst into laughter.

Wow! I don't know how she could remember all that but I'm glad she told me. It was like I knew them already. It was about sunset by the time she finished her story and we went hunting to ease the ache in her throat from talking so much. I climbed a tree and sat on a limb with my back against the tree. Joslynn did the same. Tomorrow we would start our search for the Cullen coven.

Well that's the end of chapter 1 and I hope you liked it. This is my first story and I'm so excited to read my first reviews so please leave me one. Thanks!
