Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, or New Moon.

Note: Sorry that it took so long to get this out. I went out for length, rather then amount of updates. I'll continue working on the next chapter.

I woke up without an ounce of comfort. I was very tense; everything had a new clarity that was overpowering my new senses. I could hear movement miles away, but the rustling was not accompanied by a heartbeat that any human or werewolf would have. All that I could hear was the rustling.

I got up and with my new vampire speed I ran to see the vampires. I stood in front of the group of five vampires. I could tell that my decision to meet the new vampires was definitely not my smartest ideas. There were obviously two groups confronting each other. Three of the vampires had the golden eyes of vegetarians, but two of the vampires had bright blood red eyes.

"I don't care if you reside around here we are permanent residents and ask you not to hunt in our home. If you fail this we will not be afraid to hurt you," said the one male from the golden eyed vampires. He was of average height, had dirty blond hair, and was obviously protective of both of the other members of his coven.

"I don't want to have to go out of my way to go hunting. There is a plentiful source right here. Besides we are always careful, making sure to only kill the elderly. Like wine, their blood has had time to ferment. We only choose the ones who are close to death anyway," Replied the red-eyed, red haired male vampire.

The argument was continuing with me just sitting off to the left. Both of the female vegetarian vampires were getting a little bit antsy. They were shifting their weight from foot to foot and kind of glancing around. One of the female vampires had long black hair that reached just under her shoulder blades and her hair had hot pink strategically placed. The other female had a light brown hair with dark purple streaks strategically place, that stopped right above her neck.

The girl with the black and pink hair was just skimming the edge of the forest when her eyes fell upon me. She started to walk over to me, which made all of the other vampires in the field stop arguing and stare at her. She carefully made her way over to the tiny boulder that I had been sitting on. I was a little bit tense at first, but relaxed, my only opinions of vampires were the Cullen's and James' clan. If worst came to worse nobody would miss me.

"Hi, I'm Claiborne." Said the girl, Claiborne. "Who are you?" Generally I would've considered this rude, but considering that I had been listening in on their argument, so I gave her the simple answer.

"Hi, my name is Bella." All that I could think is 'gee this is awkward.'

"Hey Bella," said the brown and purple haired girl, "my name is Kenda, the guy over there his name is Aidan. The other two are Marcie, and Rollin." She spat out their names as if they were a great curse.

"Uh… okay. Um I was wondering, I was just deserted the people I used to call a family and I was wondering if I could join your coven." I asked hesitantly. I knew I was imposing, but I also knew that vegetarian vampires were willing to take in anybody who wanted to try their way of life, so I was hopeful.

"Sure," Said Aidan in a deep voice that fit his physiognomy, "but first." He turned back to the other vampires. "If you don't agree to our terms now we will forcefully remove you from our area, and if we harm you in anyway we will not be held accounted for our actions."

The red eyed vampires just shifted into a crouched fighting stance. Their change in posture was enough to give the veggie vampires their answer. Aidan just sighed. Kenda just clapped and Claiborne just rolled her eyes and stood next to Aidan.

Marcie made the first move. Her eyes darkened; her nails grew into something resembling short swords and her skin visibly became harder. Meanwhile Rollin's fingers and fangs were becoming sharper while the rest of his facial features became elongated. They both lunged Marcie at Aidan, and Rollin at Claiborne and Kenda.

I could tell already, the moment that Marcie and Rollin lunged was the moment that they had sealed their fates. Kenda whipped her hands up in a circular motion, and water appeared as whips within her hands, while Claiborne pointed at the boulder I was sitting on and then pointed to Rollin. The boulder started to shift, so I jumped off and the moment that I was no longer in contact with the boulder it flew away and smacked Rollin right on the head. He had various cuts from Kenda's water whips, and was now bleeding from his neck from where the rock had hit him.

Aidan was doing just as well. He seemed to stretch out his finger and a tiny spark of flame had erupted into his awaiting hands. He seemed to focus on just his left hand, holding it straight in front of him. Just before Marcie hit him the fire burst forth from him hand, all that was heard was a strangled yell. Just as Marcie had turned into ash Rollin let out a long pitiful yell and I almost felt sorry for him as a tree at the edge of the meadow started to smoke. The tree flew over and fell on Rollin as the smoke turned into a flame.

Once Rollin was finally ash Kenda made a tiny hand motion and the water whips turned into what seemed like a wall of water. She let the water drip all over the little meadow to put out the two little fires. "So. I'm sorry that you had to see that. It doesn't make for a very good first impression." Kenda said while looking at her feet, trying, just hoping that I wouldn't mind their powers.

"Are you kidding? That was awesome, partly because for possibly the first time ever I wouldn't have killed myself by just watching." I said ecstatically. I hadn't had a chance to really talk to them though.

"Oh sorry, we should probably give you a real introduction. My name is Kenda, as I've told you. I was changed in the late 1800's by a vampire. She attacked me while I was walking around, I was 16. I changed my brother Aidan soon afterwards he was 21 when I changed him. We found Claiborne about 100 years ago, she is married to Aidan. Claiborne apparently worked in a castle of a royal family in the 1700's, and was changed by a vampire guest who was just passing through."

"Wow. So you guys are just one big happy family. I don't really want to intrude." I said meekly, just hoping they would still invite me. I was a new vampire and wasn't sure what my abilities would be or if I would be able to withstand the smell of human bloods.

"Oh don't worry about it. We have an extra room at our house. I have been lonely considering that both Claiborne and Aidan have day jobs." Kenda said with authority. I knew that she wasn't physically the eldest, but in spirit, as fun-loving as she seemed, she also seemed to have a serious aspect. Aidan seemed too daring and unreliable, and Claiborne seemed just a little bit too mellow.

"So what are you're powers, I saw you in action, but I still want to hear the full explanation?" I asked.

"Well we all have elemental powers. I can communicate with the earth, usually living or organic things. I was always very interested in plants growing up, and now I can help them grow, moving stones and such out of the way. That's how I could tell you were there. The trees sensed a disturbance and the disturbances are usually either vampires, or werewolves," Said Claiborne, who had up to that point been kneeling near the charred remains of a bush. As she talked I looked at the plant, it was blooming.

"I control fire, I don't communicate with it, I just control it. I can create fire, or quench it. With a simple flick of the wrist I can rid myself of any enemies. I transform the heat from the sun into the fire. It can be hard to control sometimes," Aidan said with growing enthusiasm, and then a sudden depressing thought.

"I control water. I put out fires," she said while looking at Aidan. He gave her a shrug. "I can move water from place to place, even giving it forms. I can steal water from any living creature, though I rarely do, or from the atmosphere, or a body of water if there is one near me." Kenda looked happy while explaining her gift. It was obvious that she would love to live in the water.

"Oh, you guys have such cool gifts, I'll probably get something along the lines of clumsiness from my human life. It would be so ironic if the human aspects that he loved so much came through to my vampire life." I said, out loud, not meaning for it to be overheard. The three vampires looked at me with curiosity burning in their eyes. I even saw Aidan smoking a little bit. "I know that you will want to know my story, but I'm not comfortable talking about it here, could we take this to your house?"

Claiborne nodded. I followed the three of them. They started to run, and without realizing it I managed to keep up with them, without tripping. We made it back to their house in about twelve minutes. The house didn't look that big, though the Cullen's had me expecting something bigger, and grander. There was only one story, and the outside was made out of stone.

I walked in the front door and gasped. It was beautiful. The floor had a dark blue carpet, with light blue walls, and in the middle of the room was a hole, with a railing, like a balcony looking down into the lower levels. There were two lower levels. It was wonderful.

As I stood their gaping at their wonderful house, they went to go sit on the silver couches that were place in front of a big plasma T.V. I went over and sat next to Aidan, who had Claiborne in his lap.

"So, what's your story?" said Claiborne bluntly, staring at me, making me flinch. She gave me a fast, but apologetic look.

"Well, for now I'll give you the short version." I explained hoping that in time I could trust them with the full story, relieving the pain that was still burning through my chest. " I moved to forks almost two years, and met my ex-boyfriend Edward. We started dating, and I found out that he and his family were veggie vampires. We were found by a coven, Victoria, James, and Laurent. James wanted to kill me, and almost succeeded in it. Edward managed to save me. Months later at my 18th birthday I was opening a present and got a papercut, making the newest addition to their family attack me. Edward left for my safety. Through a misunderstanding he ended up going to the Volturi to kill himself. I went and saved him. Then just last week he left again. He broke it off with me in a letter, and an engagement ring." I held out my hand so that they could see the ring, that I kept to remind me to never let myself become attached to a man ever again. "He said that the Volturi can't sense me so I'll be safe without the rest of his family around me. I ran out into the woods, was attacked by Victoria, and then I found you."

All three of them just stared at me with their mouths hanging open with a range of emotions ranging from wariness, to shocked amazement. "Wait… that's the short version? How is that short? That's longer then my life story and I've been alive hundreds of more years then you," Aidan asked.
I just shrugged.

I wouldn't mind any help with ideas.

Please review. I would like at least five more reviews.
