Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

I had only spent a week with the Cullens before I felt like I belonged there. Well, for the most part, anyways. Jasper always kept his distance from me, although I knew he was just trying to keep me somewhat safe. But we weren't as close as I was with Emmett and Alice, who where the ones who made me feel the most like I was family. But then there was Rosalie.

The two of us didn't get along. She didn't like that I was here, and I felt that she was just … ugh. Edward and Bella were fine, but we weren't super-close or anything. Carlisle and Esme were awesome, but not quite like real parents, but more like an aunt and uncle you've met for the first time – they care, but they aren't going to be really sad if they never saw you again.

But, all the same, everything had been going rather good, and I reflected on that thought as I sat on the couch. But then, Alice had her blank look. I just stared at her, preparing myself for the new that the Volturi was coming to check on Bella, and I'd have to become a hobo for a week or two.

Her face began to have emotion again, but this time, her face filled with shock and anger, and worry filled me. But I had not expected what she had said, but I knew it was bad when Edward raced down the stairs before she spoke.

"Victoria." She whispered, and the rest of the family burst into action. Edward ran out of the house, to get Bella, and everyone else hurried out to track Victoria. While everyone was so worried, I was just confused. Edward and Bella were already engaged. Victoria should have already been dead, or, at least, have her newborn army. Something wasn't right. I didn't know what I should do, and visions of Victoria becoming hungry while she came here, to find Bella, but finding me instead ran though my head. Alice must have seen something like that happening, because I was quickly picked up, and the air raced past me as Alice took me to what ever spot she'd seen was safe for me.

I thought I'd be going somewhere where she wouldn't bother going, maybe a random store. I hadn't expected me to be left at the La Push border with Bella, as I saw Edward run off with Alice towards the rest of the family to help track. I looked towards Bella, and she took my hand and led me into the reservation. That was one of the things I didn't like. I was twelve, not two. But from the way they acted sometimes, you'd think that I was. Everyone but Bella was around a hundred years old though, so I guess they had an excuse.

We ended up at a door step, she knocked on the door and Jacob answered. Bella only had to say 'Victoria', although she said it rather shakily, like she was trying not to break down, before Jacob ran off to phase. Billy came out to ask Bella what was going on, and invited us in, but he was looking at me the entire time, and it wasn't hard to guess that he was wondering who I was.

I, like Bella, was extremely scared the whole time, and we sat on the couch silently until Jacob came back with the news that they had caught up to her, quickly adding that everyone was fine… except Victoria.

Bella thanked Jacob and Billy.

"Wait," Jacob said, looking at me with the same curiosity that Billy had, making me feel like a freak. "You can't go yet. Sam wants to talk with you guys, all of you."

I didn't have a clue what they wanted to talk to the Cullens about, but I followed after Jacob and Bella to the border as large teenage boys joined us, crossing over to stand by Emmett.

"It's not what you think, Sam" Edward said, and I looked up at him, confused. What was I thinking that wasn't right? I looked over at the werewolves. Oh, right. Alpha Sam, not me. Sam raised one eyebrow disbelievingly.

"Then what is it?"

"She's…" Edward paused, thinking of the right word to use. "Well, not prey. We don't really know, other than that." The boys on the other side of the border looked at me.

"Uh… I'm a girl?" I told them, unsure of what they wanted me to say. Edward sighed at something that was thought.

"Sam, I don't think that she would-"

"But what if she does?" Sam cut him off.

"She won't." Alice cut into the conversation.

"But-"

"Sam, are you going to tell anyone?" Carlisle asked me, interrupting Jacob.

"No," I said simply, and he raised his arms for a moment in a way that seemed to say 'there you have it'. A few of the boys mouths dropped open in shock that he would believe that so quickly without any proof. Sam opened his mouth to voice their opinion, but I was quicker than him.

"I'm not going to say anything to anyone, okay?" I snapped at him. The looks I saw then were a mixture of shock and glares, as well as a chuckle from our side of the border, which I guessed came from Emmett, earning us more glares. Sam's expression was one of the surprised, but he sighed in defeat all they same, but I knew that it wasn't the end of it.

With the end of the conversation, we left. Emmett held out his hand for a low high-five.

"Nice," Was all he said, chuckling again.

It was then that something strange happened. It was like a memory, but not quite. It was more of the way that you would recall something that happened in a book, one of the little-known facts you had picked out. It was simple, a voice, chuckling like Emmett had done, with mostly the same tone, but a different voice, although it was also male. Wonderful, it said.

It wasn't the memory that shocked me, but the way I reacted to it. I wanted to hear the voice again, although I didn't know why, but I felt that I needed to hear it again. I somewhat identified the feeling, and it was from a book I had read. The book, in fact, that's universe I was now part of. I had been reminded of New Moon, and the way that you could imagine Bella felt about hearing Edward's voice.

But I had no one like Edward, and I never had. Or did I? After all, I had felt it…

A/N: As always, I would love reviews.

I'm sorry if these first few chapters end up seeming slow to you, but there are some things that I think need to be set up before I start really getting in to the plot. That, and, I love dropping foreshadowing.
