Chapter 2: The Answer.

Edward POV:

Annie Lu stared into space, and Edward stared at her, while the whole family stared at him. It was quite comical if you thought about it. They sat in the Cullen's signature white spacious living room, not moving, not breathing, fearing that any slight movement would make the tiny new vampire snap. Not that she could harm any of them, for she had proven to be nothing like a newborn. Her speed was nothing to be impressed of, her thirst was mild, and her strength was simply pitiful, compared to that of the other's in the family.

Edward's eyes roamed her small face, and he stifled a sigh. Could anything more lovely exist, he wondered to himself? Really, she was more than perfect, and could break a heart with just a look. He wondered what it would be like to behold her attention. Surely whoever was lucky enough would rival in such a gift. He felt the unwelcome anger surge though his body, leaving a red flaming haze behind. Her eyes had been so hurt when she had mentioned what her boyfriend had done to her. What kind of insipid slime would do that to such an angelic creature?

Annie Lu sighed, and every one started to breath once again. Edward still felt incredulous about Annie Lu's thoughts, for it seemed impossible to him. She thought that she had gotten here by a wish she had made to a falling comet. He was worried about that. How bad had she had been hurt that it had caused her to hallucinate? He would break every bone on the person's body who had dared to touch her in such a violent matter. Edward was surprised at the fierce protectiveness he felt for the tiny vampire. He was relieved when he found the explanation. Yes. It was just that. She was so tiny. So obviously vulnerable. So painfully feminine. That was it, he told himself.

" Ok," Annie Lu said. " I'll bite." She settled in the huge couch that swallowed her, bringing her small shapely legs toward her chest. She paused when she saw that her shoes were dirty and stretched them, her feet dangling a good half foot from the floor. The whole family chuckled at her choice of words. Carlisle smiled at her from across the room, a strangely fraternal look on his face. It didn't surprise Edward that Carlisle and all the other males in the house felt as protective as him.

" Well. I Understand it is a lot to process, but it doesn't make it untrue. You are a vampire. You are stronger, you are faster, and…" Carlisle paused. " You are more…well…beautiful." Carlisle shook his head, wondering how that could be.

" Vampires become like this because our main purpose, as creatures is to hunt. Our prey is more attracted to us this way, even if they feel…frightened. We, my family and a few friends, have found a suiting life style, which is hunting animals instead of humans. It makes us feel more…normal, if you can use that word in the same sentence when it comes to us." Esme spoke up, while she walked slowly to Annie Lu.

" We know you are quite confused, Annie Lu," she said in a comforting voice. " We will help you get through this. But darling, you have to tell us how you got here." Esme sat beside her while she slowly, so slowly as to not startle her, reached for Annie Lu's small hand. Annie Lu stared at her for a long second, while she cocked her head to the side.

" You remind me of my mother," she whispered, and her hand held on to Esme's as she settled into the couch.

" My complete name is Anna Louise Graham. I'm sixteen years old. My parents died on a trip they made to the Caribbean. They contracted a deadly disease. I don't remember them that well. I live with my aunt--my mother's sister--her husband, and their twenty year old twins. Both are boys and a huge thorn on my side. My aunt took me to my first movie audition--a musical. I was ten. I became really famous by the time my first disc came out. It won a gold disc. I've made some commercials, and won some awards." Annie Lu paused, and Edward saw that she was being modest. " After what happened after the Teen awards, the paparazzi went crazy. It's their duty to get all the scoops about every famous person's life, you see. It's their job. So as I got home in Washington, D.C, they were camping out on my lawn and I just…I just couldn't stand it. So I sneaked out of the house to my little silent place. The sky was beautiful, so full of stars." A far-away look came into her eyes, and Edward had to agree with her. The sky had been beautiful. You rarely caught sight of the stars here. Too many clouds.

" So," She continued. " After a few moments, I saw this flashing star and made a wish. I know it's foolish to believe, because things like that don't happen, but here I am. How else can you explain it?" She asked. " You said vampire's," she made an incredulous face. " Are strong and very thirsty, with red eyes when they are… what did you call it? Newborns?" The whole family nodded. " Well I'm nothing like that!" She stood in a flash, and looked at her reflection in the dark window.

" I have gold eyes, like yours." She turned back toward the surprised vampires in the room. Her voice held fervent assurance. " I know you think I'm crazy--" Edward interrupted her, speaking for the first time since explaining her on the way to the house what a Newborn was like.

" We don't think you are crazy." he chuckled. " If vampires exist, if werewolves exist," he paused at her wide-eyed look. " Yes, they do exist. Then what surprise is there if you really made a wish and it came true?" He didn't wait for her answer. " All we can do, is help you adapt." At her surprised look, he backtracked, mad at himself for not giving and setting the options for her.

" Or," he continued slowly. Was that a grudging tone in his voice? He hoped not. " We could help you get back to where you came from." He looked at Alice to see what her decision would be. He almost broke into a touchdown dance when he saw Alice's security that Annie Lu didn't want to leave. Her next words comforted him further.

" No. I would like to stay if that's Ok with you guys." she stumbled over her next words. " I could get a job, to pay for rent and clothing and everything else. I wouldn't like to impose or take advantage of your hospita--" Carlisle lifted a hand to silence her, but Alice was the one that spoke.

" You don't have to worry about anything. We have had more then enough time to accumulate our own fortune. And we have forever. So stop blabbering and lets get you out of that outfit." She made a face, disgust and delight twisting her features. " As much as I congratulate you on wearing Gucci and Armani with custom made All-Stars, they look like trash now." Alice stood and flashed toward Annie Lu. Annie Lu looked down at herself and made an identical face to Alice's. Those two are going to get along just fine, Edward thought with an internal chuckle. When they had left, Edward turned to the remaining family members.

" We are going to have to move." Carlisle nodded thoughtfully.

" Yes. Of course," chimed Esme enthusiastically. " We could enroll all of you into a new school. I don't believe Annie Lu will have problems with self-control. We could move to Forks. We have not been there in the past sixty years, since we made the treaty with the were-wolves ." She turned toward Carlisle for approval. " What do you say, hmm?" Her face twisted into a smile, her dimples flashing. " Annie Lu needs normality for once in her life, don't you think?" Everyone in the room except Rosaline nodded.

Emmett stood, rubbing his hands in a washing motion.

" Lets start packing then!" He boomed, and Jasper trailed behind him. Rosaline huffed and stood, muttering under her breath about how much she hated to move, about how much she hated to start a new school, and about how much she hated her existence sometimes. Edward shook his head and watched her go with sympathy.

" Is the house ready?" Asked Carlisle. Alice's thrilling voice traveled down the stairs with a smug tone.

" Yes it's ready! We should be ready to go and settled by dawn!" Esme, Carlisle and Edward, unsurprised that Alice was always ready, shook their heads.

" Do you have to yell, Alice?" Mumbled Rosaline from the garage, where she was checking the cars' motors.

" What's wrong with a little excitement?" She answered. " Prepare yourself Rose," Alice said as she walked down the stairs with a giant suitcase. Annie Lu came down by her side with an equally bulging suitcase. They looked comical, like tiny ants carrying ten times their weights. Annie Lu wore Alice's same outfit. The both wore a burgundy turtleneck, black slacks, and tiny matching flats. Alice continued her sentence in a cryptic voice. " All you prepare yourself, for everything is about to change!" She paused and giggled at the slack looks on her family member's faces. Everyone relaxed , except Edward, because somehow, Alice was right. Everything was about to change for him.

Annie Lu POV:

Five Days Later.

Annie Lu Looked around her huge room and smiled to herself. The room was set in an aqua colored theme, Annie Lu's favorite color. She had set a huge L shaped desk in the corner for her to write, and a bookshelf overtook the west wall. The east wall was pure glass, and the sun filtered thought the transparent crystal. She sighed as she stared at the scenery. Forest. Her favorite. On the north wall of the room was a huge walk-in closet, and she just loved it. Alice had great taste in cloth, and held Annie Lu's same high appreciation of fashion. A grand oak piano had been given to her by no other then Edward. He himself had one in his room, and had known, because he could read her mind, that she loved the huge elegant instrument.

Annie Lu was very happy. She would miss her remaining family, and she hoped that she was not causing them excessive grief, but she simply needed to stay where she was. It was a gift given to her, and she would appreciate it.

She and all the Cullens, started school in a mere week. She had always wondered what it would be like to be a normal teenager, going to a normal public school, amongst normal people. She wasn't exactly one hundred percent normal, but close to it. And she wouldn't take all the attention, at least not after a while. Vampires always seemed to awe humans in the beginning. Her books were ready for school, her clothes set out for the first day, and her mood was better than it had been for…well…since she remembered.

A knock sounded at her door.

" Come in." Alice stuck her head through the large doorway.

" Hey, Alice." Annie Lu smiled at her new adoptive sister.

" Hi. We need to make a story up. You know that Rosaline and Jasper are the Hale twins. Emmet, Edward, and us are going to be the Cullens. You and I, unrelated to them, but with the same name. Now, we," Alice pointed a finger at herself and Annie Lu as they sat on the fluffy carpet on the floor. " We are going to be the Cullen Twins. We look really alike." Alice smiled at Annie Lu, and Annie Lu felt herself smile back.

" Alice, is everything going to be Ok? I mean, you know, will I attack anyone?" Annie Lu winced as she voiced her question. She didn't like the thought of being capable of attacking humans. It was despicable. She had hunted, and that had seemed satisfying enough though. Alice shook her head at her.

" Don't worry about that. We will have some complications, that involve some of us, but nothing that can't be fixed." Annie Lu saw that Alice's eyes twinkled with mischief, and it made her nervous. But she decided not to ask. Annie Lu figured she would find out eventually. Someone knocked on the door.

" Come in!"

Edward stepped into the room, his hair wind-blown, his cheeks flushed a rosy pink and a slight smile on his face. Annie Lu's heart fluttered, but she tried to ignore it.

" Hey Edward."

" Alice." He nodded at his sister, his eyes never leaving Annie Lu's as he walked to sit with them on the floor. " What are you girls up to?" He asked. His eyes were bright.

" Oh, nothing," said Annie Lu as she looked at her fingernails. " You?" She asked and looked at him with what she hoped was an indifferent expression. He only smiled.

" I just came back from hunting, and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the treaty line, just so you know what are our and your, of course, limits. Alice can come with us." He turned over to Alice, waiting. Alice, the traitor, shook her head and stood.

" No. You take her Edward. I want to go hunting with Jazz. I'm getting thirsty." Edward made a face, and Annie Lu giggled, for there was a lustful look on Alice's face. An it wasn't just thirst. Annie Lu stood at the same time Edward did.

" Let's go." He said. Annie Lu followed him out the door, down the stairs, and out of the house, where they quickly climbed into Edward's silver Volvo. They rode through the long drive way in silence. When they were in town, Annie Lu sat up and pressed her nose to the cold glass.

" The town is really small. I can't imagine how so little people together can be." She turned toward Edward. " I'm usually in the middle of lots of people. I can't imagine how not being the center of attention is. Now I'll just be another extra person." She saw Edward's lips curve.

" That's what you think. Believe me, Annie Lu, you are not like any girl in the world, and anyone will see that." Annie Lu didn't ask him what he meant. She didn't want to know.

They had slowed down, as they had entered a road surrounded by huge trees covered in green moss. They could see a large man standing faraway in the distance. Annie Lu felt a wave of a very strange and unpleasant smell invade her nostrils. She wrinkled her nose and sniffled. Edward chuckled.

" You'll get used to the smell." Annie Lu nodded, and immediately remembered the stories about werewolves Esme had told her the other day. Annie Lu was fascinated, and as soon as the car stopped a few feet away from the man, she jumped from the car. The man looked at her with a mix of disgust and grudging male appreciation. She smiled at him, a small-teethed smile that had been said to knock the socks off anyone with testosterone. The man blinked. His lips twitched in a small responding smile of his own. When Edward put his hand on her shoulder, she stopped, and looked up at him. He nodded toward the ground.

" That's your limit. It's an invisible line, but you'll know. Try memorizing this same exact spot." Annie Lu looked around herself, and nodded when she had memorized the place where she stood. They looked up at the man, and he spoke up.

" Edward. Who's your friend?" his eyes were cold, but warmed slightly when he looked at Annie Lu.

" This is Alice's twin sister, Anna Louise Cullen. She likes to be called Annie Lu." Annie Lu took a step closer and extended her small hand toward the tall, rugged man. He stared at her white extended hand before taking a long stride forward and taking her hand in his own, hers swallowed by the larger one of the huge man.

" Sam Uley. Nice to meet you." She smiled up at him, and stepped back, marveling at how warm Sam's skin was. She turned toward Edward, to find him staring at her with wide surprised eyes. She ignored him.

" So, Sam. My family has told me so much about your kind, but I am still so curious…"

Sam smiled, and they sat on the side of the road, on a fallen tree for a few minutes. She was transfixed at Sam's stories of his ancestors, but still she felt when Edward stiffened by her side, since she had been toying absently with one of his much larger hands. She looked up at him to see him staring at a slow red truck coming down the road. Annie Lu giggle as she saw how old it looked. Ah, a true classic. It stopped in front of them, and the smell of human hit her like a cement block. A slight girl with brown hair stepped out, she had big brown chocolate eyes, and a pale complexion. She looked at Edward, for the smell of the girl was so appealing it was painful. Edward held on to her, holding her small hand with enough force to crush it. The girl walked toward them, smiling. She wouldn't be smiling if she knew I want to kill her, thought Annie Lu.

A/N: Yes! It's who you think it is! But, before I continue, let me tell you that Bella will not end up with Edward. He isn't the one that wants to kill her either, I just decided to make her part of the story as a Cullen friend. Or match-maker? Hehehe! This story is still Edward/OC! Some characters will be different, a little more set forward in time. I hope they aren't too OC. Ok, back to the story! This is a long chapter, I know! Hope you guys Enjoy it. :7

Bella POV:

Bella tried not to stare as she walked toward the little group sitting on the trunk of a tree. It was difficult to accomplish, for the couple sitting next to Sam were by far the most beautiful she had ever seen. The girl was tiny, with straight midnight black hair, a perfect face with chiseled features, a rosebud pink mouth, and large topaz colored eyes. She was extremely feminine and delicate looking, and Bella couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy for the beautiful tiny girl as she stood up. Bella then looked at the boy that stood by the girl, and saw that he was just as perfect. Chiseled features, same colored eyes, and bronze hair.

" Hi," she said as she neared them with a smile. " You must be the Cullens." Bella looked at how they held hands, the boy hovering over the tiny girl in a protective manner, his hand wrapped tightly around hers. Their was no doubt that their was something going on between them.

" Hello," the boy responded while looking at the girl intently. The girl just looked at Bella in the same way. " I'm Edward Cullen, and this is Annie Lu Cullen." They didn't move, and Bella looked speculatively at them. She had the plan forming in her head already. She turned toward Sam.

" So, I was just going down to see Emily for a few hours. Are you going to be long?" She looked at Edward and Annie Lu, and when she found them staring at each other like they could communicate, a almost intimate stare she was sure not even they knew they were sharing, she smiled widely. Seeing her look, Sam was instantly cautious. He shook his head.

" No. Let's go. I'll follow you." Bella rolled her eyes, but waved to the couple and walked slowly to the truck. If she ran she was sure she would fall ungraciously on the ground. She drove slowly down the road, until they reached Emily and Sam's house. She stepped outside, and was immediately herded by Sam. He picked her up, and carried her into the house. She shrieked as he set her down. Everyone was there. The huge bulking guys that were her friends and almost family sat barfing down a plate--no, a giant bowl!--of muffins. She walked to where Jacob sat and giggled when he tugged on her hand and pulled her by his side.

" Listen to me Bella," boomed Sam, as she looked back at him. " Don't you dare." he pointed an accusing finger at her. She shrugged innocently, but no one was fooled. Darn, why did she have to be such a bad liar?

" What?" she asked as she reached for a muffin from the table before they were gone. She nibbled on the delicious muffin while trying not to smile.

" You know what." Sam said this through his teeth, and he seemed really mad. " I can see the wheels turning in your head. I don't want you close to them, Ok?" This gave her pause. She set her muffin down.

" Why?" She asked, feeling the goose bumps she always got when she knew that the guys at the reservation were hiding something from her. They always said that she would find out eventually, but she wanted to know soon. Sam shook his head.

" Don't disobey me," Sam said in his bossy tone. Bella, nodded, and meant it for a fraction of minute. Until Sam turned away. She felt a smile bloom on her face. Jacob, of course knowing her so well, shook his head and tugged her out of the small house.

" Really, Bella. Sam doesn't look amused this time. Who are you trying to push together now?" He looked curious, so Bella tugged him down a small trail, almost reaching the beach. Her instincts told her that somehow Sam had eyes and ears everywhere.

" I just met two of the Cullens." Jacob's eyes widened. She nodded.

" Jacob, they are breathtaking! And they look perfect together. I can't believe how so much beauty can be put together, in one same place, in only one couple. Anyways, they were giving each other these intense stares, and they didn't even seemed to realize it! There is so much potential there. I think she's scared of feeling, and he is just... I don't know... hesitant toward her…" Bella trailed off, speculating.

" Wait, wait, wait," Jacob lifted a large hand. " How do you know this?"

" Dear Jacob." Bella tsked. " I just know."

A/N: Yes… another one, I know, I'm sorry. But I want to ask you… What do you think!!? Do you like it? Is there something I could do better? Please review and tell me?
