A/N: Hey all! Here's another chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 2
How did we get here? Simple. Carlisle adopted most of us. He only accepted the ones from the orphanage, picked up from the streets or runaways. Those who didn't know who their parents were or hate their parents or left their past behind. We were trained to have ice cold hearts but it didn't mean we liked it. Me? Carlisle picked me up from the streets.
Flashback
It was cold, really cold. It was the middle of winter. All I was waiting for was death. I didn't know how I got here in the first place and I think I never will. I've given up on begging people to take me in. All I have now was some newspapers to cover myself up. I was hungry, thirsty, tired and freezing.
I looked around me. The snow covered ground, the bare trees and the people walking around. Someone must have abandoned me. If I was at the streets since I was a baby, I'd be dead by now.
"Are you all right, little girl?" a voice interrupted my thoughts.
I looked up to see a blond haired man holding out a cup of hot coffee, a doughnut and a brown coat.
For me.
He just smiled.
"This is for you," he said.
I didn't trust him but… beggars can't be choosers. I ate the doughnut and took a sip of the coffee. I moaned in delight. I took the brown coat and put it on.
"Um… thank you… why are you doing this anyway?" I said
"Actually, I have a proposition for you," he said.
He explained his proposition as I ate my doughnut and drank my coffee.
"Me, a spy?"
"With the proper training, yes."
I didn't know what was running through my head.
"Alright, I'll do it," I said.
End of flashback
I don't know if I regret that decision I made. But so far, I've been content with my life. Carlisle has never mistreated us. He was kind and compassionate. Like… a doctor.
As for Alice, she is special. When she first came here, no one knew her past, including herself. Her past was so dark that it forced her into forgetting everything. I knew it was for the better. Everyone here has dark past. Compared to them, mine was downright cheerful. Carlisle told me and Rosalie about Alice.
Flashback
"Carlisle, that new girl, Alice is definitely a mystery. She forgot her own past!" I said.
"Her past was very dark… I had to save her… It was her only way out," he said.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"Her father was a criminal and used to abuse his wife and daughter. When her father was finally put into a life sentence, her mother went mentally ill and became an alcoholic and became addicted to drugs. Then her mother was sent to the mental hospital. Then she was sent to her grandmother's where she was forced to steal in order to survive. Her grandmother passed away and eventually her mother did too. The treatment received couldn't save her mother. I picked her up from the streets not long after that," he finished.
"Oh my God," Rose said while covering her mouth.
"It makes my past downright cheerful," I muttered.
"She lived a tough life. But with her experience, we could use her skills to help innocent people," he said.
End of flashback
And Rose? A runaway. She had a perfect life ahead of her. Until someone ruined it for her.
Flashback
"Hi, I'm Bella. What's your name?"
"I'm Rosalie. You can call me Rose," she said.
"Mind telling me your past? If you want to, that is."
"It's okay. I don't mind."
"My whole life was planned ahead. Everything was perfect. I couldn't ask for more. But nobody's perfect. I met this great guy at my friend's birthday party one night. We fell instantly in love. His name was Royce King, the richest family in town. I felt complete being with him. When my dad found out, he forbids us being together. I know it sounds cliché but it's true. He says that he's not good for me. So naturally, being a hard head and all, I ran away. The first place I went was Royce's house only to be torn apart into pieces. I saw him with another girl and he seemed more passionate with her than me. With tears in my eyes, I barged out of that place."
"After a few days on the streets, a kind woman took me in. Well, so I thought. She made me do all her chores and bidding then abuses me. I got so mad one day that I used the combat skills that I didn't know I had and unintentionally killed her. I got so lost that I bolted out of the door and ran to the streets. That's when I bumped into Carlisle and blurted out everything. He was my savior."
"Wow…" was all I could say.
End of flashback
Everyone here regarded Carlisle as their savior. Some of them are doing this to repay him. It was like a lifetime job. But I wasn't one of them.
