(A/N): Hello, again! First off, I'd like to thank my two reviewers!

Kiarad: Thanks very much! I am an avid writer and it always makes me feel somewhat good about myself when someone compliments me on it! Oh, and the whole name-business is going to be explained in this chapter and the next, it was kind of purposeful. XD.

Aqua16: Thanks babe, as always. And of course, I'll update.

Okay, so I meant to explain this before, but I guess my ditz was showing through and I didn't. This takes place after Eclipse. No, it is not my version of Breaking Dawn, it's just me messing around.

Enjoy! And Thanks for reading.

Always,

Chapter 2

Cally

I stood in front of the giant mansion for gods-knows-how-long trying to convince myself that the Cullens, a family I had never met before, and knew really nothing about, was not going to tear me into ten million pieces and then burn them. All I knew about them was that they led…a different life. Without killing humans. It had just sounded so appealing when I'd first encountered the idea a few weeks ago -it had taken me a while to defy my creator, but to hell with him. And me, too, most likely.

I sighed heavily. One of them was going to get too curious and find me lurking here before too long, and how would that look? Not promising. With that thought, I trudged towards the house, very unsure if I was doing something that was…acceptable.

"You are fine." I had heard him coming, but had decided to let him come up behind me, I didn't want to seem…predator like. As if.

"I am?" I asked, slightly confused by his question. Then it came to me, "Edward. You must be Edward. Sorry, my thoughts are mildly confused of the moment." I turned around slowly, to show that I meant no harm, there was a human with him. She smelled mildly delectable, but I would be fine.

"I can tell." His tone was slightly amused, but he still shielded the girl slightly behind him. I immediately felt a sort of welcoming presence fall over me. Jasper…the name came to mind, but it was more than his wonderful talent to influence emotions. Edward's eyes were…ocher. I liked the shade so much more than my violent red one…

"My apologies for intruding on your household…I just wondered…" I looked down, unsure of how to phrase what I wanted. I don't think I knew what I wanted.

"If we could lead you in living our lifestyle." Edward's tone was shocked.

The girl smiled and stepped forward, her guard shot out a hand and she threw an agitated look his way.

"It is fine. I am not hungry." I muttered softly, not ready to admit why.

"I know." Edward returned, monotone, his eyes hard. Like he knew.

Which, now that I thought about it, he probably did.

"I do not know where to begin!" I pleaded, holding a frustrated cry back in my throat. And I really didn't. It frustrated me to no end…I had always felt powerful, all knowing, on top. Now? Everything about what I was had been thrown into a loop, nothing made sense. I almost wanted to throw my hands in the air and say 'to hell with all of this!', yet, it seemed like this mind reading vampire knew this, too.

His gaze softened as he once more responded, "I know."

The girl once again made an attempt to dodge past him, to no avail, and this time he scowled at her, "Bella!"

"Edward, no. I am greeting her." She sniffed, stepping past him. He let her go, but watched me very closely. I tried to smile in a way that was friendly and reassuring, to be honest, I'm not sure if it worked. I was becoming a little more fearful because I could see more of the Cullen family convening towards our meeting point to see exactly what was occurring. "Hello, I'm Bella."

"It's nice to meet you." I extended my hand far so she wouldn't have to come too close. She pulled away after a moment, smiling nicely.

"Oh Edward!" A small shrill voice hit my ears, "Why didn't you tell me she was here!" I saw her coming from the woods, it took Bella a moment to focus on her though. I laughed, I wondered what it was like being a human amid all of these vampires. Inferior? Incompetent? That's how I would have felt.

"Alice." I nodded. I had tried very hard to learn everything about this family before I had come anywhere near forks. She was a seer, I had wondered if she would see me, so I guess that answers that.

"Hello!" She exclaimed, jumping forward and hugging me immediately. I returned it a bit shyly, a little more than slightly surprised.

"Excuse my sister, she can be quite…exuberant." Edward smiled, his arm once again around Bella.

"It's…fine." I murmured, Alice had pulled away but still stood quite close to me smiling, "This is going to be great! We'll get you through this, I completely promise! And you're just in time to help us with Bella and Edward's wedding!" She gasped, "And then you can learn with Bella, too!-"

"Alice, I think you're scaring her." Who I could only assumed was Jasper, said as he walked up as well.

It was slightly true, too. My eyes had gone wide and I think my mouth had opened slightly as she had been talking.

"She's just overwhelmed." Edward smiled at me reassuringly, but there was something about his posture that still indicated he was very wary of me. I guess I didn't blame him but it didn't boost my confidence. "And she didn't expect to be accepted so easily."

"I don't know why in the world not." Another one had walked up while Edward had been talking. I did not know his name, which surprised me, but he was huge. I mean, muscled huge. It was pretty scary, actually. Another woman was behind him, who I could only assume to be "the beautiful Rosalie".

"I am…sorry." I murmured, "I know you are Rosalie…" I whispered, nodding to the girl behind him, "But I do not know you."

He mock-frowned, "That's so disappointing!" He then grinned, revealing huge, white, teeth, "I'm Emmett."

"Emmett." I rolled the name around in my mouth as he gripped my hand. He squeezed hard and I squeezed back. He looked surprised, glanced at Edward and admitted, "She's strong."

I grinned, somewhat feral, but quickly let the smile drop, because Edward shoved Bella farther behind him. "Sorry, really, I mean no harm." I quickly apologized.

"Edward's just paranoid." Bella rolled her eyes.

"Been there." I agreed, immediately. "My last boyfriend when I was human was a total territorial ass."

They all look surprised at such a human comment.

"How old are you?" Emmett scrutinized me. Rosalie's face was totally apathetic, I had been watching her outta the corner of my eyes, not being able to understand what she wanted, but she let no emotion show through her perfect face.

"I was eighteen…twenty years ago." I shrugged.

"You are still young." He surveyed.

"Yes." I nodded.

We all stopped talking as two others came up, who could they be but the ever-famous Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen?

"Hello, dear." Esme greeted easily. She was a very beautiful woman, lovely and sweet, with the most gentle eyes I had ever seen in my life. "It is wonderful that you wish to join our family." She immediately embraced me once she was close enough.

I did not know if I would ever get use to how comfortable and close everyone was…

"Hello." Carlisle said after his wife had pulled away. His smile was very kind and wise and I liked how his presence made me feel. Like I was already part of the family. "We are all glad you want to join our family, but of course there are rules-"

"Of course!" I said immediately, "That's why I came."

He grinned. "I'm glad you've come." Then his grin faded to a quizzical look, "Yet, I think none of my children have been polite enough to ask your name."

"It's Cally." Alice told everyone immediately.

I shook my head, "No, no it is not."

Alice looked shocked.

I smiled softly, "That is what everyone calls me because it is the only name I remember from when I was human."

Edward gained a shocked look and I nodded at him, "You may-"

"No, please, go on." Edward immediately shook his head and gestured to me. Bella looked very intrigued and I saw her jab her fiancé and give him a quizzical look. He just jerked his head in my direction.

"Explain!" Alice demanded impatiently.

"Cally…" I began softly, "Cally was my best friend as a human." I paused momentarily, my violet gaze moving from face to face before continuing, "When I was changed…I was…" Once again, my voice caught in my throat, I hated talking about this, so I started from a difference place, "When I woke up, Cally was the only name I remembered because when I was changed…I was recovering from amnesia."

(A/N) Thanks for reading! Have a pleasant morning/afternoon/night/day!
