Chapter 2: Family

Jaime POV

I looked up at the beautiful bronze-haired boy in front of me and couldn't help but notice how perfect he was. I had gotten a look of myself in a border of shiny ice on my run, and I couldn't believe how perfect I, myself was. It was unreal. I took a step back and looked at down, embarrassed for I knew that I had been staring, and looked at my feet. That's when I noticed that I was only wearing one shoe. I started laughing, and Edward joined me in, his laugh was just as beautiful as mine, maybe more so.

"Had a few rough days, huh?" I looked up at him and found him smiling a lop-sided grin, which I couldn't help but respond with a huge grin of my own.

"No, actually. They've been the best days of my life. Running is very fun." I smiled and bent down to take my only shoe off. They were of a silky material, and when I straightened, I noticed that my dress was less than decent.

"So where do you come from?" Edward asked.

I frowned and thought very hard, trying to remember, but came up with nothing. It was strange, how I didn't remember clearly nothing about my past. It was as if I had opened my eyes to the real world when I had woken up a few days ago in the forest.

"I…I don't remember." I brought my hand up and scratched my head, a habit that I surly had when I was human.

"So you don't have any where to go?" He looked down at me and I could have sworn that for a second he looked hopeful, but I just shook the feeling off. I had just met him for Pete's sake.

"Nope." I rocked on my heels and looked down at the ground. I counted all the little ants, all the grains of sand, hoping that he would invite me to his house or let me stay with him for a few more minutes.

"Why don't you come with me? We'll talk to Carlisle. We'll look you up. It's a good thing that we have you're name." He nodded toward the forest and in a murmur told me to follow him. I started running along side him, and he turned to me with wide eyes, speeding up, he smirked and turned to look at the path. I giggled and shook my head. So he wanted a race, huh. Well a race I would gladly give him. I pushed my feet as fast as they could go, and laughed when I went past him easily.

"Ha! Where did your smirk go, Edward?" He smiled and just shrugged his shoulder. Wow, his smile was truly heart stopping. Not that my heart beat anymore…but I still could feel a small tug somewhere in there.

I slowed down when an off-white house with light blue shutters came into view. It was a huge beautiful house, with a wide porch that held a white swing that you only saw in the movies with white fluffy pillows. The windows under the porch were floor length and the main entrance was a double door entrance. On the porch stood a small dark haired girl, smiling hugely, while looking at Edward and then looking at me, doing so until I thought her golden eyes were going to started steaming.

"Hi! I'm Alice. Edward's adoptive sister." She nodded vigorously. Eying my ripped dress with an almost pained expression, she took my hand in her tiny one, and led me into the house. I looked back to see Edward shaking his head with a small smile on his face. Alice took me up the stairs, and took me directly into a big room where she disappeared into a huge closet. When she returned a few seconds ago, she gave me a pair of light jeans and a silk button-up shirt. Wow, they were exactly my size.

When I was ready Alice told me to follow her and guided me to a large office where the floor to ceiling shelves were completely full of books. Behind a huge mahogany desk sat a blond haired man, a caramel-haired woman sitting on one corner of the desk, a beautiful blond girl sat at the other corner. I looked around the room, and caught sight of to other men, standing on the right side of the office. On was dark-haired, huge, with big muscles, and the other one looked too serious, with silvery blond hair. He eyed me suspiciously, and I just nodded my head in assurance that I meant no harm.

"Edward, who is your friend?" The man behind the desk was the first to speak, and I smiled at him in appreciation. I didn't like silence.

"Everybody,"--Edward said, motioning towards me and addressing the whole group at the same time,--"This is Jaime Madison. Jamie, this is my family. My father, Carlisle, my Mother, Esme, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, and you already know Alice." He pointed out each person, and I smiled at each one.

" Hello." I said confidently, and I wondered if I had always been this way. I felt frustrated for one small second, that I didn't even know my-self. It was extremely infuriating.

"You must feel really confused, Dear. We will help you understand everything. Don't worry." Esme, an expression of motherly concern on her face, came in front of me as she rubbed my arms up and down. Amazingly, I felt comforted and felt a huge smile stretch over my lips.

"Well," I turned toward Carlisle and smiled at him. "Edward--" I wondered if people heard the wonder I was feeling toward the bronze hair boy as I said his name, "--told me you needed some information?" I walked toward him and smiled widely.

"Yes. But, um, the problem is Jaime, you don't seem to remember where you are from or any other things about your human life. It seems to me, that this is a very good opportunity to start over. If you want to. You won't be able to see any of the people you know, because you would put them at risk. So…why hurt your-self by looking for something that will hurt you? Of course, the decision is up to you." Carlisle looked at me sympathetically. The strange thing was that I didn't feel any sense of loss, because I didn't remember anything. Carlisle was right. Why look for something I couldn't have.

"Very well. Um," I ran my fingers through my long silky hair and looked around nervously. "I guess, if I won't look anything about my past up, I should be going." Carlisle opened his mouth to protest as I turned and slammed into the solid wall of Edwards chest.

I murmured my apology, and tried walking around him when he stepped in front of me again. I looked up and frowned.

"Excuse me, I have to get going, so would you mind moving?" I asked him with the most polite tone I could manage speak with and expected him to move to the side an let me by, instead…

"No."

"What?" I squeaked. I was starting to get mad.

"No. You are staying with us. You are alone. You don't have nobody and you are a newborn. I'm sure it would get us In trouble if you slaughtered half the town. You are my responsibility because I found you so you stay here."

I sputtered for a second as I looked at him. But then I became really angry and a low hiss erupted from deep within my chest. Edward wasn't intimidated though. To the contrary, he seemed…smug. I stood on tip toe, my teeth bared as I looked at him angrily.

"Make me." And with that I tried as fast as I could walk around him, but he already had me trapped in the circle of his arms. I looked around to see if anyone would help me, but all of them watched with shining, amused eyes as I tried to pry Edward's arms off me.

"Let me go!" I yelled, struggling against Edward's iron grip.

"That's strange." He looked at me and then turned to Carlisle. "She's supposed to be stronger…being a new born and all…but she's…not." He shrugged and smirked. I growled and turned to look at Rosalie. I threw a pleading look at her, because for some strange reason I…admired her? Yeah. Strange. I didn't even know her. But as soon as she saw my face she frowned and jumped of the desk.

"Put her down Edward." Everyone looked at her, their mouths opened as they stared at her. I wonder why? I asked myself. "If she wants to leave, it's her choice not your's to make." Edward growled and Rosalie ignored him as she turned to me. "But, we'd love for you to stay with us. If you don't like it here…say after a year…then you can leave." she smiled a blinding smile and waited for my answer.

I shrugged. Hmm, why not. I'd be on my own anyway.

"Ok." Edward looked at me and I scowled. And just for the hell of it, I pulled my knee back so quickly that even for vampires it was blinding, and hit him in a place that I was 100% sure would hurt with all my might.

Edward yelped and let go of me instantly, as he fell to his knees and curled into a fetal position as he groaned, holding tightly his…you know. I flipped my hair over my shoulder and stepped above him.

"Don't. Ever. Man-handle me." I couldn't help but see, as I stepped out of the huge office, Edward's glower, or how every person in the room was trying with all their strength not to laugh.

I smiled as turned my back to them and couldn't help but feel happy. I had a family! Of course with that little stunt with Edward, I'd have to watch my back. The war had just started.
