I do not own Twilight. I only own Diana.

Story Start

The next day, Charlie and I ate some breakfast that I fixed, which was only pancakes because the guy didn't have much food in his house. He would be going to the grocery store whether he liked it or not later today. Charlie kept going on and on about Bella and her daughter Renesmee, but I could hear a hint of dislike whenever he mentioned Edward.

"I'm going to get ready and then we can go," I said after I finished cleaning the dishes.

Charlie just gave a nod and went to wait in the living room. I heard a basketball game playing on the television while I walked upstairs. It didn't take me long to get ready since I just brushed my hair, put on some foundation and mascara, and then I put on my sneakers, grey jeans, white t-shirt, and black winter jacket. Cold weather was not my favorite by any means, so big jackets were a must in my wardrobe here.

"Ready," I announced after I had grabbed my purse with my sketchbook, pencils, phone, and wallet inside. I refused to go anywhere without it.

Charlie was already waiting by the front door for me but he had a strained smile on his face. "I'm really sorry but I have to go down to the station. I'll take you to the Cullens' house and drop you off. I'll come by later to pick you up or Bella can bring you back home," he said and I just gave him a nod.

"That's fine," I replied and we got in the car. The drive to the Cullens' home was silent, but not in a bad way. I could sense that my uncle felt bad about doing this, but I wasn't scared of my cousin's new family. I honestly wasn't scared of much, never have been. When most girls would freak out about spiders, I would just walk over and crush the thing to death with my hand or foot. When other girls wanted a guy to protect them, I took martial arts and learned to protect myself. Being a short girl definitely got me picked on in school, but breaking a few noses and busting a few balls made the bullying stop.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not going to lie, the family is weird, but I know Bella will be excited to see you," Charlie said as he stopped the car in front of a really nice two story house.

"No worries, Uncle Charlie, I'll be fine. Have a good day at work, I'll see you later," I told him before quickly getting out of the car, shutting the door, and walking up to the front door of the house. I gave a wave to Charlie so he would leave, and then I knocked on the door after I heard his car pulling out of the driveway. It was a little unnerving that everything was so silent in the house, but finally footsteps approached the door from the other side.

A man with blond hair and strange amber colored eyes opened the door with a gentle smile on his face, but I could see the curiosity in his eyes. I could also see a bit of apprehension. "Hello, how may I help you?" he asked.

"Hi, I'm Diana Swan, Bella's cousin. Charlie dropped me off here to hang out with Bella and her new family. By the look on your face, I'm guessing that my uncle didn't call ahead and see if this was ok," I trailed off when I could see his face light up in surprise and some anxiety.

"Diana," a familiar but slightly different voice called out from somewhere behind the man in front of me. "Diana, it is you. What are you doing here?" Bella asked as she appeared beside the man at the door.

"Well Charlie told me I could come over here and hang out with you today. I didn't know that he didn't call ahead," I told my cousin, who looked so different than what she did last time I saw her. "Did you get contacts?" I asked when I saw her red eyes, which was not normal.

Bella opened and closed her mouth for a moment before giving me a tight smile, which made my eyes narrow. "Sorry, he didn't call me, but you're welcome to come in and stay a while. I'm happy you made it here safe. I'm sorry about everything that has happened," she said sympathetically but she seemed to struggle with herself. It looked like she wanted to hug me, but she was keeping herself from moving any closer to me.

"Are you sure? I mean, you look like you would prefer if I just went back to Charlie's house," I said with a raised eyebrow as I glanced from her and the still unknown man.

Bella went to reply but the man beside her cut her off. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. I'm Bella's father-in-law and you are more than welcome to come into my house. We would be happy to get to know you and for you to get to know our family," the man said as he motioned for me to enter the beautiful home.

"Thanks," I said as I stepped inside and walked past my cousin, who gripped her arms tighter and I heard her mutter Carlisle's name after I passed her. "You have a lovely home," I muttered as I looked around before freezing when I spotted a bunch of other people in the living room. They were all too statuesque looking, just like my cousin. All of them also had the amber colored eyes like Carlisle. "That's not a normal eye color, not normal at all," I thought and frowned when I noticed one of the men in the room staring me down apprehensively. "Boo," I thought and I almost jumped when the guy seemed to flinch after me screaming that in my mind.

"Everyone, this is Bella's cousin, Diana Swan. She has recently moved to Forks," Carlisle announced before I was introduced to everyone and received mixed receptions. I would have to say that Alice and Esme were the nicest, well until Alice hugged me. After she hugged me, she pulled away with a zoned out look on her face and then she looked at me with pure terror.

"Alice," Bella whispered and Alice shook herself out of whatever was bothering her.

"Nice to meet you, Diana," Alice almost stuttered out the words before she moved far away from me to go stand by Jasper.

"Nice to meet you too," I muttered and took a seat on a couch by Emmett and Renesmee, who happily climbed into my lap. The little girl was the most welcoming so far, even more welcoming than my cousin. "Wait, why is this kid like eight years old? I thought Bella just had her a month or less ago," I thought and I froze when Renesmee grabbed my hands and images and thoughts flashed into my mind. "Vampires, I'm in a room full of vampires and a half-vampire," I thought as I stared at Renesmee with wide eyes, but she just kept smiling at me.
