Dear

A/N I have to say, I'm wicked thankful for all the alerts I got. The day after I posted this

my email was filled with people who reviewed and added this to their alert lists. Thank

you so much for all them. Keep reviewing. And here's chapter 2

Chapter 2 –Family

There, in front of me was my 2nd family. My best friends. The Cullen's'. Pixy like Alice,

blonde Jasper, tall Emmet, beautiful Rosalie, kind Esme, leading Carlisle, and Edward. I

decided to not tell them who I was and lie about my name. "Hello, I'm your neighbor

Marie Masen" I said as I held my hand out. I took my middle name and Edward's real

last name and used them. They looked at me confused. I could guess why. "Yes, I'm one

of you" I answered. "Do you drink human blood?" Carlisle asked. "No, I don't. I drink

animal" I answered. "Are there more of you?" Emmet asked. "No, just me" I answered.

"Um…not to change the subject but I think you guys should come to my house once

you've got every thing inside" I answered. "Okay, we'll meet you in about an hour"

Carlisle answered. About an hour later, my doorbell rang. I answered it. "Come in" I said

invitingly. "So back to our conversation..." I said. "Who were you changed by?" Alice

asked. Oh great. I can't lie about this. "I was changed by a vampire named Laurent" I

said. As soon as I finished saying Laurent Edwards's eyes shot up. "Dear god" Esme

said in shock. The rest stared. "He's still ALIVE?!" Edward shouted. "No, some

werewolves, one of my friends Jacob Black one of them, killed him" I answered. "You

lived in Forks?" Alice asked. "About a year" I said not lying. "Was there a certain

reason?" Rosalie asked. "It's along story" I said. It was the same thing I said to Edward

with our first conversation. "We have time" Emmet said. "My parents were divorced

and I decided to live with my dad when mom got re-married" I said still not lying

"That's just like Bel-" Alice began. "Sorry Edward" she said. I was letting them figure

out. "Anyway, my best friends and boyfriend moved and I became depressed. One day, I

was walking in the woods. That's where Laurent was. Jacob was too late to stop him

from biting me but he killed Laurent. I actually kind of wanted to die. I had nothing left.

He was my every thing. But I was cursed with this" I finished. We sat quiet for a few

minutes. "Well, do you guys want to see my house?" I asked changing the subject.

"Sure!" Alice said excitedly. I led them upstairs. "This is my room" I said showing them

in. "Hey, this CD case looks exactly like…" Emmet began. "When Laurent killed me he

threw that at me and said 'why does any one care about you humans'" I lied. "My guess

who ever this belongs to, he killed right before he killed me. He had blood all over his

face." I continued. "She can't be dead. She just can't" Edward said grabbing his head. "I

said I was guessing." I reminded him. "I shouldn't have left" he said. "I'm sorry what

your last names are?" I asked "We're the Cullen's and Hale's" Esme answered. "You

must be Edward Cullen and your girlfriend was Bella Swan" I said. "Yes. How did you

know?" he asked. "I know Bella from Forks. I met her before I changed. Her dad talked

about you" I lied. "Is she alright?" He asked. "Kind of" I answered. "What do you mean

'kind of'?" Jasper asked. "She has become one of us" I answered. "No. This is exactly

what I wanted to avoid!" Edward shouted. "You guys really don't have a clue, do you?" I

chuckled. "About what?" Alice asked confused.
