BELLA'S POV

We entered the Cullen house to find everyone sitting in the living room, reading or quietly talking. Alice, of course, was discussing her latest shopping spree with Rosalie. Emmett and Jasper were both talking about an action movie they had just seen. Carlisle and Esme were both reading books. As soon as we stepped inside the door, Everyone looked up. Alice walked up to us, wearing a small smile.

"You found her," she said.

Edward had a serious look on his face, and I could tell that Alice was showing him her vision about the girl, who was sleeping quietly in Renesmee's arms. I looked at Edward questioningly, wanting answers. He silently shook his head, letting me know that he would tell me later.

Carlisle approached us, his face grim.

"We must examine this girl immediately," He announced. "If there is anything we can do to help her, we must do it now."

Carlisle's words confused me. Why did that matter? The girl was dying, wasn't she? Couldn't we just, well, turn her and make her stronger?

I began to speak my thoughts. "Why can't we just turn her and then-"

The Cullens turned to me, their eyes dark. Even Nessie had a look of disbelief on her face.

"Mom, have you forgotten?" She cried out. "We do not have an immortal child in me, but we were questioned and almost killed. Would you like to go through that again? This girl is maybe two or three years old. She could not be controlled."

Horror ran through me. How could I have forgotton all the pain my family had been through? The torture? The room was silent as I thought.

Carlisle then broke the silence. " We must have this girl looked at immediately." He said again.

He began to walk up the stairs. Nessie , Edward and I followed, our thoughts on the little girl.

******************************************************************************

Carlisle hurried out of the room to the hallway, where Edward, Renesmee and I were waiting anxiously for news.

"She was abused violently and dropped off in Seattle because, I am certain, she was too much to take care of. She has a sprained ankle and her shoulders are a little swollen, but other than that she is fine. Her bruises should clear up in a few days. You may go in and try to talk to her, though nothing may happen, as she did not talk to me." Carlisle rushed through the words then ran downstairs to talk to the rest of the family.

Nessie rushed inside. Edward and I walked inside slowly, not wanting to scare the girl. I cursed myself quietly for not stopping Renesmee. But, to our surprise, the little girl smiled and held out her hands at Renesmee so that Renesmee would pick her up. Edward stood in silence, listening to the young girl's thoughts.

"She loves Renesmee," he told me smiling. "To her, Nessie is the best thing that has ever happened to her. And, well, she probably is."

Nessie smiled and held the girl closer to her. Then she tried to talk to her. To our surprise, she succeeded.

"What's your name, sweetie?" she asked the girl.

The girl waited a few moments, and then responded.

"G-Gr-Gracie," The girl responded, then grinned at Renesmee, then Edward and I, her eyes shining.

Gracie. Our little bit of Grace.

WOW! Again. I love this chapter! It took me FOREVER to come up with a perfect name, but I did. Review and tell me what you think of the name, and, of course, this chapter! Love you all!

Peace out,
