Chapter 1

Note: I own nothing. It's all SM's genius

Alfa-shewolf21: thanks for the kind words, and Bella hasn't met the Cullens previously to this chapter, she's only heard of them from Garrett, so hope that clears it up!

Oh, and I'll refer to myself as Black Rose, cus I'm cool like that. :P

So I think I'm about 5 minutes from the Cullen's house, but I'm not sure, because their scents are all over this forest! It's just so confusing!

Okay, so I've reached their house, and holy crap, is it huge! Their property must be at least 10 acres wide! I reach the door and just as I put my hand up to knock, the door swings open, and a small, pixie-like vampire with inky-black, spiky hair smiles up at me and starts bouncing up and down, then says, "Hi Bella! Come on in! I know we're going to be the BEST of friends!" oh boy, she is going to be a handful, she probably LOVES shopping. I hear a chuckle from down the hall. What the hell? Oh well, just ignore it Bella, it's probably nothing. As the pixi-pire leads me to wherever she's taking me, I look around and notice that it's even more beautiful inside the house than outside the house. This family definitely has money! As we reach our destination, the living room, I notice that there are 4 other vampires in the room besides the pixi-pire whose name I still don't know; a copper-haired boy who's playing a piano, a caramel-coloured woman who was cuddling on the couch with a blonde-haired man who looked wise beyond his years, and a honey-blonde man who was sitting on a chair reading a book on the civil war, and he was…..laughing? The blond man looked at the pixi-pire and said, "Alice?" Oh, so that's her name. "Is this Bella?"

"Yep! I told you she was pretty," she replied

"Indeed.", he smiled, and if I was human, I would have blushed.

"Wait a minute… how do you know who I am?" I asked.

"That would be me," replied Alice, " I can see the future and I saw you decide that you wanted to come and live with us!" she started bouncing up and down again, and I started to wonder if she was changed while she was on a coffee high or something.

"So you guys are okay with me wanting to live with you?" I asked, still unsure.

"Of course," the caramel-haired woman said, smiling. "Oh, by the way, I'm Esme dear; it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Then Esme crushed me into a hug that only a mother is capable of giving.

The blonde- haired wise man interrupted our hug by saying, "Well I guess it's time for some introductions now. Rosalie, Emmett, would you mind coming down here for a minute, we have a new family member." Right after he had finished talking a beautiful blonde woman that looked like she could be a model walked down the stairs, closely followed by an extremely buff man with brown, curly hair. "Okay, now that everyone's here I'll start with the introductions, I'm Carlisle, and I am what you would call the father figure in our family."

Then Esme spoke up, "As you know dear, I'm Esme and I am the mother figure in this family, and I am also Carlisle's mate or soul mate." My heart panged with sadness and loneliness at these words remembering how I thought Jake was my soul mate, and the honey-blonde male and the copper-haired male looked at me with questioning eyes. I was confused. Why were they looking at me with such curiosity?

Just as I finished questioning in my head, the copper-haired male spoke up, "I'm Edward, and I can read minds," oh I see, so he can read minds, which means he was chuckling at what I was thinking about Alice earlier on. He nodded. This is going to be a tad annoying. He scowls.

Alice interrupts his scowling by saying, "Well, I'm Alice, and I can see the future! We are going to have lots of fun together!" she starts bouncing AGAIN. "Oh, by the way, I LOVE shopping" I knew it, "and I'm Edward's soul mate" there's that pain and loneliness again… I guess I'm going to have to get used to this.

The honey blonde male speaks up "I'm Jasper. I'm an empath, I can feel everyone's emotions and project any emotion I want to someone" with that he sent me a wave of happiness, and I smiled at him. I think Jasper and I are going to be pretty good friends.

The beautiful blonde speaks up "I'm Rosalie. Nice to meet you. Now Alice will finally stop talking about you coming to live with us. But I can see that we're going to get along just fine." She smiles at me warmly.

"Hey Bells, I can call you Bells right? Well, anyways, I'm Emmett, and I LOVE video games, and wrestling. We should wrestle some time! But I don't think you could beat me." He smiles cockily at me and I say

"Oh really? Well if I recall I should be stronger than you right now, so, you're on big bro!" He smiles the widest smile I've ever seen in my life, and crushes me into a huge bear hug.

"Yay! I've got a little sister! Bellsy, you're the best!"

Emmett puts me down and I smile up at him, even though he looks intimidating, he's just a big teddy bear. Edward chuckles. I think I'm going to love it here. Then Edward speaks up.

"Oh by the way Bella, who's Jacob?"

I crumple to the floor and the last thing I see and hear are the shocked looks on everyone's faces and Alice screaming, "EDWARD! You weren't supposed to bring that up, you idiot!" Then, blackness.

JPOV

Well, I've checked all around Seattle, and in the forests, but this pain all over my body isn't helping me find Bella. I'm in a forest right now and I have no clue where I am. LOST! I should be finding Bella! ARRRGGGHHH.

I start shaking really badly, then fall to the forest floor. All of a sudden, I hear a shredding sound, and it feels like all the bones in my body are breaking at once. I howl out in pain. Wait. What? Howl? Once the pain subsides, I open my eyes, and everything looks clearer, sharper even. I try to stand up, but I fall down. I look down and see…..PAWS? What the Hell? Then I feel myself falling into darkness, and I welcome the feeling with open arms. Anything to escape the madness…..Bella…..I miss you so much….

A/N: Dun Dun DAAA. Well, that's chapter 2 for ya! Li'l bit of drama. Oh, and Bella kept some human traits, such as fainting and crying, but the crying is only when she thinks about really sad things. And Bella and Jacob originally lived in Forks, but they moved to Seattle together. And the wolf gene has skipped a couple generations, but since there are so many vamps in Seattle, the gene jumpstarted in Jacob. So yeah.
