Out of the Dark & Into the Light

A/N: IMPORTANT: There is a question at the bottom of the chapter in the Author's Note that I think will benefit all of you to read regarding the time line. You will learn more about the background later when they explain her to the family, but otherwise, the answer to the question will give you a little peak into it to understand it better.

This story is written as a collaboration by both Xo BellaItalia oX and Katara Melody Cullen. If you have any questions, post them in my reviews and I will answer them in my next Author's Note at the bottom of the chapter. We hope that you enjoy the story and look forward to reading your reviews.

Chapter 1
(Crystalline's POV: Texas; 2005)

"Crystal, wake up! There is an attack going on downtown and I need you to stop it." Jackson informed me while trying to shake me awake, but failing in the process.

"Let me sleep, Jackson, or I'll hunt your ass down." I mumbled out, pulling the pillow over my head and shielding my ears while trying to go back to sleep, but failing miserably, because of the constant shaking as Jackson attempted to rouse me.

"You can go back to sleep when you finish and get back. There is important work to be done!"Jackson insists while finally managing to push me off of the bed in one fell swoop.

With a loud thud, I hit the ground head first, which would lead to me probably having a big knot on the top of my head later on.

"Fine, I'm up," I grumbled crankily, "But let me tell you this, Mr. Almighty Master, if you ever and I mean ever push me out of this bed again, I will turn you into vampire food, got it?"I growled at him angrily.

"Sure, whatever you say." He waved me off which only served to anger me further. "I'll be downstairs backing your weapons." Jackson says while walking out of my room, and slamming the door.

Lifting my body off of the floor, I stood up and walked over to my window and opened up the dark linen curtains, letting the sun shine directly into my spacious room. I hurried over to my closet, opening it, walking into it before looking for an outfit that I could easily move in for fighting the monsters in.

Going through clothes, I had finally found a nice dark blue spaghetti strap shirt with a black strapped vest and a nice black leather jacket. The pants that I chose were black denim jeans that were a little too tight, but stretchy enough for me to maneuver in. I chose finish off the ensemble with a pair of black laced up boots.

Grabbing my clothes, I walked out of my closet and quickly changed into my chosen outfit.

It took about twenty minutes for me to get dress, five minutes to brush my teeth and wash my face, and another five minutes to pull my brown hair into a high ponytail out of my face, with my bangs hanging in front of my eyes, and long strand of blue dyed hair hanging by my ear. Oh, by the way, I dyed a stranded of my hair blue three weeks ago.

Looking myself over in the mirror, I decided that I liked what I saw.

Walking out of my room, I danced down the spiral staircase and headed straight into the large kitchen that not only housed the human food, but stored some spare animal blood in case I needed it in a jam.

"Well, it seems that the princess has finally decided to grace us with her presence." Damon announced loudly with a wide grin on his face.

I stuck my tongue out at him before grabbing a piece of buttered toast off of Jackson's plate from in front of him.

"Hey! That was mine."Jackson quipped in mock anger.

"Oh, you can consider that payment for pushing me out of my bed and causing me to bang my head, which earned me a huge bruise over the knot that is already growing on my head as we speak." I narrowed my eyes while pointing to the lump on to my head.

"Okay, whatever," He waved me off. "Let's just go before the menaces of the vampire race can inflict any damage on their chosen captives."

I just nodded my head and grabbed my weapon bag before heading out in to the garage where all of the different cars were stored. I made my way over to my GSXR 1000R street bike and jumped on while adjusting my riding back onto my back.

Sticking my key into the ignition, I sped off out of the garage without even a glance back at Jackson's obnoxiously large house.

It took about an hour to get downtown with that traffic, though, lucky for me, I was able to weave in and out of the lined up cars without much of a fuss. It was the construction that was holding everything up on the main road and they were only letting so many cars through at the time, leaving the rest of them lined up in wait.

Man I'm never doing that again.

Looking up, I could see people running and screaming from either direction from the vampires that were no doubt wrecking havoc as they chased their intended victims before taking them with them back to where ever the chose and using the for whatever sadistic pleasures that they got out of the torture.

My street bike skidded to a halt and I was able to maneuver myself off of it before I hurriedly grabbed my weapons bag and opening it up. I pulled out my sniper that was loaded with specially made bullets that ensured the bullets pierce through their tough skin. Vampire venom was bottled inside each one as it burst open, taking pieces and sometimes limbs of the vampire with it while stalling them with the pain the the venom inflicts on their wounds. I also had two sai's (A/N: A Sai is a traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon), made out of reenforced steel that was also mixed with vampire venom, making it nearly impossible to break while it easily sliced through a vampire. I kept the two of them on my thighs. I also pulled out my twin blades - which were made the same way as the Sai's - placing them in their sheaths. I closed the bag back up and tied it onto my bike before taking off in the direction where all of the carnage seemed to be coming from.

I came to a stop when I saw a newborn vampire throwing two screaming people through a window, causing the glass to shatter and rain down onto the ground around him.

"Oh great, now I have to start taking people to the hospital and have their memories altered while coming up with a lie for the staff." I mumbled out while pulling my sniper out of my holster on my side.

Since the supernatural world was to be kept a secret from humans, we had a device that worked pretty much the same as the one you saw on Men In Black. It was a light the size of a pen that would flash in front of the witnesses and you would tell them a new memory that made them think something else happened instead of the truth. We called it a Dememorizor.

I got into an accurate stance as I raised my gun up and I pointed it at the son of a bitch, and shot the gun hitting the vampire in its shoulder, sending his arm flying in the opposite direction. This only paralysis the vampire for a couple seconds or so along with weakening them, so I had to use my special twin blades to cut their heads off. Sure, I could have just used my hands to dismember them like any other vampire would, but I found that this was much quicker and efficient, especially when dealing with a group or horde of them until I could pile them up and light their limbs on fire with my handy dandy zippo.

The vampire looked up at me angrily as I caught his attention. I gulped a little at the pure fury that echoed in his features, but didn't drop the gun as I held it tightly between my fingers and shot off another round at the vampire again. Luckily, seemed to work better the second time as it flew into his chest, letting the venom circulate throughout his body. The newborn seemed to be stunned as he fell to the ground in pain. From what I understood, it wasn't as bad as the change, but more like having fresh bite marks littering you all over your body. Foreign venom in your system from anyone but your mate is truly painful, however, I don't currently have a mate to make a comparison, but I have been bitten more times then I can count.

I placed my gun back its holster and drew my blade before I took off and ran at the newborn. When he was within reach of my blade, I pressed forward and sliced its head off in one quick, clean motion. The vampire's body immediately seemed to be twitching and trying to mend it's self together, so I quickly grabbed my lighter and press the flame to the pool of venom that gushed and pooled around the newborn. Like a flame to gasoline, the vampire was immediately engulfed by the flames before turning to ash.

At a job well done, I grabbed my gear and walked out the alleyway and went to help the victim that was thrown into the glass window. I crouched down to the victim's level and placed my hands over their bleeding head and chest and waited for my hand to glow a nice golden color that would heal the person from any wounds that were received while being thrown through the window. Next, I reached into my holster and grabbed the dememorizor a bright blue and purple light echoed before her eyes. I quickly rattled off a story, telling them that they had stopped by a bar and had one two many before passing out in an alleyway.

Yeah, that seemed like a plausible enough excuse.

I sight as I slowly stood up and made my way over to my motorcycle before I placed all my weapons back into my backpack. After all, the last thing that I needed was to get pulled over because some patrol officer saw me flying by with a bunch of guns and swords hanging off of my person.

I snorted to myself. Yeah, that would go over just peachy.

I zipped the backpack up and threw it over my shoulder before sliding my other arm through the strap. I quickly jumped onto my GSXR, stuck the key into the ignition, stepped on the gas pedal and sped off towards Jackson's house.

It took about two in half hours to arrive at home. Unfortunately for me, I had to go back the way that I came through downtown Houston and was held up by the traffic and the construction once again.

Ugh, why couldn't they have given me a hover pod or something like that platypus had on that cartoon, Phineas and Ferb? It's not like they couldn't afford it!

When I was finally inside the garage, I parked my motorcycle in it's designated spot. I jumped off of the bike, grabbed my weapons bag and hung the keys to my bike on the key rack before I walked back inside the house, looking forward to kicking back and relaxing after my startling wake up this morning.

"Hey Jackson, I'm back!"I yelled out.

It was then that I noticed that something was amiss. There was a familiar scent lingering in the entryway while the source of the scent wafted from the living room, intermingling with Jackson's.

"Come into the living room!" He called out for me before I could question him. "There's someone here to see you."

Furrowing my brows, I walked into the living room only to see Jackson sitting next to none other than someone that I hadn't seen since that fateful night in 1930, my mother, Esme Cullen.

I dropped my bag and ran to my mother throwing my arms around her neck, a lump forming in my throat as I took in her comforting scent and motherly embrace.

A/N: Cliff Hanger! What did everyone think?! We hope that you enjoyed it! Any ideas on why she is there and what she wants? Review!

If you have any questions or comments, post them in my reviews and I will answer them in my next Author's Note!

FantasyLover74: is this going to be a cross over with buffy the vampire slayer and will angel and spike be in the story? you got to have some conflict for Jasper. Is Edward the only other member of the family that knows about this daughter? I thought that Rosalie came in the twenties and emmett in the early thirties?

No, it's not going to be a cross over with Buffy. It's actually our own brand of slayer! :-) As for Edward, he actually doesn't know about her. Before Carlisle met Esme and got her pregnant, Edward had took off and rebelled against him and started to drink human blood for ten years. At that point in the story, he had only been gone for seven, so he hadn't met Esme nor found out that she was pregnant as a human with Crystalline. He doesn't come back for another three years, so he never knew of her existence. As for Rosalie, they find her later that very same night so, she has only seen Crystalline around town before she was turned when she was human. Emmett will be found a couple years later. :-) Thanks for the review and keep reading!
