A/N- This is my first attempt at a twilight fanfiction, so try to bear with me. Please don't turn away easily on this one. I'm a stickler for a thorough exposition, so the drama probably won't happen until chapter 3 or 4. It focuses mainly on Jacob and a few original characters (No Mary Sues, promise!) but all of the Cullens come into play. Basically, this is what happens after Jacob runs away. The first chapter is mainly Bree's backstory, and no this isn't the Bree that made the cameo in Eclipse. Please R&R!

Also PLEASE NOTE! My father decided to drop my keyboard so at times certain keys stick... usually the S key. Please excuse some mispellings.

Disclaimer- I am not claiming to own anything having to do with Stephanie Meyer or the Twilight franchise.

Chapter one

Green. Never in all of my years, albeit few, have I seen so much green. Nature embraces me, kissing me with her sunny rays, concealing me within her mists. The Grass and leaves glisten as though billions of miniscule stars shine from within. So alien, yet I feel at home.

"Bree? Bree!" The voice called me back to reality. Dr. Ellershaw stared at me, discarding the syringe in her hand, "I'm done giving Windy her shot; you can let go now."

I clenched my toes inside my Keds and sheepishly released the brown tabby cat. He looked at me and purred, rubbing her head underneath my palm.

Dr. Ellershaw sighed, "I don't know how you do it, but animals really do love you" Her face dropped to a sterner look, "But if you don't stop your daydreaming you'll never survive vet school.

I nodded scratching Windy behind her ear. I didn't mean to daydream, but my mind would sometimes show me things without permission. Charlotte, my adoptive mother, always said to not suppress them for it could be my subconscious telling me giving me memories of my life before I was given up for adoption. Charlotte has that romantic way about her, always thinking that there is a reason for everything. She'd be an evangelical if she actually were Christian. Thankfully, both Charlotte and her husband James have a more unorthodox way of looking at the world. And while I may want to learn more about my past, those daydreams usually got me into trouble like when I'm in class… or working at Rehoboth Veterinary Practices.

I know very little of my biological past. All I did know was that I was originally from Ireland, in Dundalk, and that Charlotte and James adopted me when I was five or so. Charlotte always wanted to be a mother, but nature cursed her with infertility. She and James tried many times, also looking to adopt but they all fell through. To get away, James took Charlotte to Ireland to look at the many sites and many pubs. I was in the county orphanage when I escaped to chase after this stray puppy. I caught up with the puppy and was playing with him in the street when Charlotte and James happened upon me. Charlotte said it was fate that brought us together, and that she instantly fell in love with me: the very tiny girl with dark red hair and blue green eyes. They extended their stay in Ireland to finalize the adoption and took me home to Maryland.

Fifteen years later, I was enjoying the summer before my freshman year at UMBC. My friends and I decided to spend it at Rehoboth Beach. So I along with my friend Nory, my other friend Zach, sometimes Zach's boyfriend Eric, and my cat Fred, of course, got a house together by the beach.

I came back to the shorehouse after work at Dr. Ellershaw's and dropped my keys onto the coffee table. I was greeted with a broken chorus of hellos and I greeted them back. I walked back into my room where Fred was laying on my bed.

I sighed, kicking off my shoes and stripping out of my scrubs. Getting a whiff of myself, I decided a shower would be wise.

"I stink, Fred." I guess I should go shower, huh?" Fred rolled onto his back a stretched, letting out a small meow. I took that as a yes and went to the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later I re-entered my room feeling a lot more refreshed. I wondered where Fred went to before I saw the top of his fuzzy grey head resting on my pillow, the rest of his body snuggled under my blanket. I giggled and walked to my dresser, throwing on underwear and a tank top. I didn't really care to find jeans just yet considering the only eyes that would be looking at my bare legs that moment were Fred's. Not only was he a cat, he was also asleep. I sat on my bed and pulled up my laptop. Opening my emails, I looked for anything to catch my eye. Something did, in the form of "Visit Alaska!" A chain email sent out from a travel site I belonged to. Curious, I clicked it open and gaped at the beautiful scenery gazing back at me. Luscious forests full of wildlife, strong noble mountains, glistening glaciers. It looked like… like…

Billions of miniscule stars shining from within.
