A/N: Very happy with my reviews for the first chapter and everything will come out soon. I didn't know how to start this chapter… So I did it with a person experience just with different names (obviously).

3rd Person

Bella was standing in a dark room. The walls were wooden, chipped, and terrifying. There was a window to her right, but it was boarded up. The only light was coming from the space in front of her. There was a thing piece of wood separating the spot into to open spaces. Both of the spaces led to a slide and Bella knew that she had to choose which slide to go down, the left meant a nightmare, and the right meant a good dream. Yet Bella didn't register that she was dreaming. She did what any child would do, and chose the right. However, even as she walked towards it, she felt like it was a trap. Something banged behind her so she sat on the right slide and started sliding forward. The other slide melted into the background and she automatically felt like she chose the wrong slide.

"Isabella" A woman screeched.

"No" Bella cried, it was Vicky.

She turned around and tried to climb up the slide, but something was coming at her. Bella started crying and didn't see that a hole had formed in the slide. Her body slipped through even though it was a small hole. Bella frantically tried to grab onto air and hold herself up.

"I got you" Renee said, catching her.

Bella looked up as Renee handed her to James.

A screamed erupted from Bella's throat and she sat up on the bed sobbing violently. Her stomach churned painfully as her door opened.

"Oh sweetie, are you okay?" Esme whispered gently. "Shhh, it was just a dream. You're alright"

Esme scooped Bella up but Bella fought against her. Esme let her go with a frown. Bella took off to the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. She leaned over the toilet retching and gagging, but she had nothing in her stomach to let out. When her stomach settled down she got off the floor, flushing the toilet. Her stomach clenched painfully as she brushed her teeth, washed her face, and brushed the tangles from her hair.

"Are you alright?" Esme asked as Bella walked out of the bathroom.

"Yes, I'm sorry" Bella whispered, head hanging low.

"It's okay sweet heart" Esme said. "I put Salt back on your bed, he must've fallen when you woke up. Let's go downstairs."

Bella followed Esme out of the room feeling more at ease; Esme obviously cared about Salt and wouldn't hurt him. In the hallway Bella noticed that the other door on her floor was open. She followed Esme downstairs and back to the first floor.

"Let's go get breakfast"

Bella shook her head. "I'm not hungry, and I need to take my medicine.

Esme paused for a second. "I don't think you're supposed to take medicine without eating."

"I can't eat" Bella said seriously.

"Yes you can" Esme said. "Just a bowl of cereal"

Bella stopped talking; she didn't want to get in trouble for talking back so she just followed Esme to the kitchen. Esme sat her on a chair at the island and poured her a bowl of fruit loops. Bella stared at the bowl with a frown.

"Eat up" Esme said.

Bella started eating slowly. Her stomach churned in protest. She had barely finished half the bowl before it started coming back up. Bella's hands cupped in front of her mouth as she tried to hold it in. Esme grabbed her and ran her to the guest bathroom in the back of the first floor. Bella didn't have time to realize how fast Esme had run, just that she was in front of a toilet. She emptied her stomach back out before flushing the toilet and rinsing her mouth out.

"I told you I couldn't eat" Bella said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Esme said with a deep frown. "Let's go get you your medicine. They're in Carlisle's office"

Bella followed Esme to the back of the first floor and into a room to the side of the last door. In the room Carlisle sat behind a desk. He smile warmly at Bella, but naturally she recoiled in fear.

"Here" Carlisle said.

He handed Bella three pills and a bottle of water.

"I'm missing one" She said softly, in confusion.

Carlisle nodded. "You had medicine for something I don't think you have, so I want to take you off of the medicine for it and see how it affects you."

"I'm not supposed to skip medicine" Bella said worriedly. "He" Bella flinched at the thought of him "said that I could die if I didn't take all of my medicine"

"If you keep taking medicine that you might not need then you could get really sick" Carlisle said. "But if you need it, then I will put you right back on it"

"What medicine?" Bella asked.

She swallowed the three pills with water without taking her suspicious gaze from Carlisle.

"This one" He said.

Carlisle pulled out a yellow, circular pill. Bella didn't know it, but the pill was for children diagnosed with schizophrenia.

"I don't like that pill" Bella said honestly, staring at the pill in Carlisle hand. "It makes my tummy hurt, and makes me forget things." She whispered.

"Well you might not have to take it anymore" Carlisle said with another soft smile.

Bella nodded, silently grateful. She really didn't like the effects the pill had on her.

"Do you want to meet the family?" Esme asked quietly.

Bella backed to the door. She didn't trust Carlisle nearly enough to turn her back to him. She fought the urge to shake her head when she got to Esme. Bella would rather be doing something else, almost anything else. But there was also things she was very glad that she wasn't doing. She nodded, stuffing her hands back in her sweater pockets instead of taking Esme's hand.

Edward's POV

I heard the soft tapping of Bella's feet, silent to human ears, as she came toward the living room. Her heart was beating fast, in fear. I shifted my weight uncomfortably. We hunted last night but Bella's scent was begging me to pounce. I had all night to get used to it, but it was unbelievably difficult, and still is. I had to leave multiple times, but I would be strong now.

Esme walked in, Bella was invisible behind Esme, and the only proof of her being there was her heartbeat. Heartbeat and delicious scent. I was standing behind the recliner, the furthest from Bella. Jasper was sitting in front of me on the recliner. Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie sat on the couch.

Esme turned slowly and gently pulled Bella in front of her. Bella looked up with wide eyes, her heartbeat sped up even more, and she stepped back. I frowned and could see everyone else frowning to.

She's so small Emmett thought

She's terrified Jasper and Rosalie thought

I love her hair Alice, of course

Bella looked up at Esme with wide eyes, filled with tears. There was a deep frown making its way on my face.

She is supposed to be 8, but she looks like she's 5. She is too skinny, and looks so fragile. I thought. But despite all that, she was a beautiful little girl. With her wide chocolate brown eyes, that have obviously seen too much, and her long red-brown hair that rested at the lower back.

"I'm Alice" Alice said, breaking my thought bubble.

Bella nodded.

"Remember I told you last night that Alice would love to take you shopping?"

Bella nodded again. I realized I had yet to hear her voice; internal and actual.

"I'm Rosalie" Rose said quietly, obviously trying not to frighten Bella more than she was.

Once again Bella nodded.

"Bella" Emmett said loud and happily. "I'm Emmett, welcome to the family"

Bella nearly jumped out of her skin and, impossibly, her heart sped. Bella turned on her heels and ran out the room.

Emmett frowned guiltily. "I didn't mean to scare her" He said.

"It wasn't your fault" Esme reassured. "She is easily scared"

Emmett didn't fully believe her. Esme walked out of the living room to find Bella.

"Are you alright?" I heard Esme ask from the kitchen. Bella didn't answer out loud. "Come on dear; let's introduce you to everyone else. And Emmett is just loud, he won't hurt you"

A few minutes later Bella and Esme came back it the living room. Bella was sporting pink cheeks, the monster in me roared. Her blood was singing.

"This is Jasper" Esme said.

"Nice to meet you darling"

"And this is…" Esme trailed off for a second, watching me. "Edward"

I felt Bella's gaze land on me and her heart beat accelerated again. I should've been worried for her, but I wasn't. All I could think about was the fact that blood was rushing through her veins. Not just blood, but her blood. And her blood was singing to me, and singing loudly. I heard a low growl from in front of me. Jasper's eyes had turned as black as mine.

"Take her out" Alice said, too quiet for human ears.

Venom pooled in my mouth, I was ready to hunt.

"Come sweetie" Esme said to Bella. "Let's see if you can drink a smoothie, or a milk shake."

Alice ran over to Jasper, trying to talk him out of his thirst. Bella's scent clung to me, and everywhere else in the house. I swallowed the venom from my mouth and inhaled slowly. Emmett and Rosalie where watching me closely. One wrong move and they would try and stop me. Stop me from sucking the life from an 8 year old. Suddenly I get the image of me hold Bella's lifeless body in my arms. Shame consumed me.

"I'm going to my room" I announced guiltily.

And go straight to my room I did.

A/N: I'm sorry for the long wait, I had no internet connection. I hope that some of you 'guests' continue to read my story, even though the updates are spontaneous right now. I will get on a schedule when my life gets a little less hectic…
