CPOV…

Today it was rainy… just like any other day in Forks, Washington…

I didn't really mind it seeing as I have always been in the rain. It actually comforted me. It hid me from the people I didn't want to find me. I guess you could say that I think that the only thing in this world that loves me is actually the rain.

I have gone through ten families in my 16 years of life, and not all of them were my fault.

My first family, or my birth parents, abandoned me for some unknown reason at an orphanage. No one knew my name or anything.

I was adopted by Cornelius and Lia Cross at three months old. They decided to put their names together and got the name Cornelia… I know, original right.

They died in a car accident when I was a year old.

Then Elizabeth Lexington adopted me when I turned three. She was a single old woman who needed help around the house. She was more like a evil step mother, so I ran away from her when I was six.

After that I was found on the streets five days later by Anna and Alex McCarthy. They were a nice couple and I like them. Until they had a daughter of their own and they didn't want me any more, so they gave me to an orphanage when I turned eight.

After that I just gave up. I ran away from every family they tried to give me to. Even if they were nice.

I think that some of the families gave me away because a group called Itex is trying to buy me. Yes… buy me.

I don't know what they want me for or anything, I just know that they want me, and bad.

Ever since I left my last family at the age of fourteen, I have been living on the streets. I have gone form Dallas, Texas, all the way to where I am now... Forks Washington.

Two years I haven't had a roof over my head, and I didn't mind it. it wasn't like I couldn't take care of myself, right.

Why don't I just go back to the orphanage? That's probably what you want to ask.

Well I don't want to find out what Itex wants to buy me for. I don't even want to go through what I have gone through. I mean ten families in less than fourteen years… that is really bad.

I guess I'm just not that loveable.

The funniest thing is though is that they all promised to love me forever. I guess I couldn't really blame the Cross's for anything, but I mean the rest of them didn't have a reason to get rid of me. And the ones I ran away from don't really get a say in it because I know they would all have gotten rid of me too.

Everyone of them though… but I guess promises are meant to be broken.

Its was getting dark and I needed to find a place out of the public eye to sleep… so where better to sleep away from people then in the woods right.

Well I thought so. Especially since the Wolf sightings and killings have been going on.

I didn't believe that a wolf or a bear did it, so I didn't really pay attention, and even if there was a bear or wolf, no one would miss me.

I started to walk through the dense forest. I have never been to this part of the forest, and I guess it was a good thing. I had just rummaged through a McDonalds garbage and got a few thrown out McHeartattacks and I was full for the rest of the night.

I was even smart. I loves going to schools and looking through their garbage and finding papers that students and teachers got rid of and learning form them. I left school when I was starting 9th grade so I think I was supposed to start 11th by now.

I didn't really know about my looks. I guess I didn't really care, but I was also very clumsy. I fell over everything and anything, even if it was a flat surface.

But the worst thing about my life right now is the fact that it was really hard to get a nice warm shower or bath.

I went to people's houses and used their hot tubs sometimes though, which was really rare.

I wasn't really dirty though… I snuck into the YMCA and used their shower sometimes too.

My clumsiness did get my way of getting though the forest though. I fell and tripped all the time. Just like now.

I didn't see the steep hill that was coming and I fell right down it. I hit everything on my way down too. Branches, tree trunks, bushes, everything.

Once I reached the bottom I was a mess. My hair had every kind of dirt and twigs it it, my face had all kinds of nasty smeared on it. I even think that I broke my leg and maybe even an arm.

But what I saw was much more important at the moment. What I saw was a boy, maybe a little older then me, eating –yes eating- a dear.

His black eyes bored into me like nothing I have ever seen. His skin, so pale, was clear in the moonlight. His copper hair was just as beautiful as his face.

But no matter how beautiful this creature was, he was also frightening. He had blood dripping from his perfect lips, and his hands dung into the ground like claws.

I wanted to run.

But somehow, I couldn't.

I couldn't run away from him for fear of losing him. I didn't want to leave this perfectly scary beautiful creature.

I tried to stand up, but I was met with pain. I knew it. My leg and arm were both broken.

"Fuck!" I shouted.

"Shit..." He muttered and started to walk towards me.

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked, as he got closer.

"Maybe." He said looking slightly sad. "You don't look scared."

"That's because I have nothing to live for."

"That doesn't mean you should die."

"But it does mean that I have no reason to live."

He nodded at that.

As he got closer I got ready for the kill. I was ready to die. So when he was close enough to kill me. I closed my eyes. But nothing happened.

When I opened my eyes I was in his arms and was running through the forest at amazing speeds. I was so scared that I couldn't even scream.

Not even twenty seconds later we were on the other side of the forest. I new this because the river running through it only ran on this side of the forest and we were right next to it.

But I never noticed the amazingly beautiful white house next to it.

It was huge, so I had no idea why I would miss it. I had been up and down these forests and I had never once found it.

"Where are we?" I asked. "More importantly… WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!!!"

"Calm down." He tried to shush me.

"Calm down… CALM DOWN!! I had just ran though a freaking ten mile forest in less the twenty seconds… how the hell am I supposed to calm down?" By now I was in hysterics… but I couldn't get out of his grip.

"Stop moving. You need to get your arm and leg into a cast." He ordered me.

"I can take care of myself. I don't want to go anywhere with a monster!" As soon as the words came out of my mouth I regretted it.

"You cannot take care of this yourself." He told me.

"I have been on my own for a while now. I think I can manage a few broken bones… you still haven't answered my question."

"What was that?"

"What are you?"

He looked at me for a while. I guess he was debating on weather he should tell me or not. What secret would be so big? Well considering that he just drank dear blood and can run at the speed of light I guess I could say he was a…

"Don't tell me you burn in the sun too?" I asked closing my eyes.

"No… I sparkle." He smiled.

A/N: So... how was it?
