(?POV)

After educating Edward in what good music is, I went back downstairs, hoping that maybe I would be able to avoid the other vampires in the house. I felt horribly bad about my idiotic behavior. I shouldn't have ran away. If the rest of the Cullen's were anything like Edward, (I had an inkling sensation that they were) then I had nothing to worry about, I crept down the stairs, amazed at my newfound grace and stealth. I turned into the living room, not hearing the TV on, but turned back abruptly once I realized that the Cullen's were all sitting there, talking. I listened in carefully and slowly realized that they were talking about me.

"Don't worry Esme, she'll be fine." Edward murmured.

"I just," I listened to Esme's soft nurturing voice struggle for words. She was going to say how rude I was, I knew it. How had I managed to screw up the very first thing I did as a vampire? "I just want her to be a part of this family so much. She's so young, I can't stand the fact that this Nicholas character hurt her like this." Esme's tone was so concerned. I straightened. Esme thought of me like a daughter already, I could hear it in her voice.

"Yeah, and we'll make sure that if we find him, we'll make him regret it." I heard Emmett's loud booming voice fill the room as he cracked his knuckles ominously. I heard murmurs of approval come from everyone. Emmett was already thinking of me as a little sister. This was impossible, how could they not know me, yet be so warm, so accepting.

"I don't get it." Jasper's soft voice grabbed my attention. It was the first time I had ever heard him speak. "She's feeling so suspicious. She still thinks that we can't possibly want her without knowing her. I think she wants to trust us, but something is stopping her. I don't know what though. Something had to have happened to her before, but she can't remember." I knew that they were all nodding in agreement, because even I found myself agreeing with them.

"Oh, she will remember." Alice murmured.

"When?" Bella asked.

"I don't really know. I know that it might be a while though. And when she does it won't be good." Her usually bright, airy voice was soft with grief.

"What did you see Alice?" Bella pressed.

"She was sobbing, that's all. I only got flashes." Bella sighed.

"She doesn't deserve this. Not while she's so young. Whatever happened to her, whoever did this to her, we have to find him and stop him. She doesn't deserve this." she murmured again softly. Had I still been human, I would have been crying by now.

"But even before we can figure that out, we have to continue to make her welcome." Carlisle's voice rang out, forever calm and practical, "She needs us right now, and she needs to know that all of us are here for her. We have to do everything we can to make her life normal, well, as normal as it can be." I vaguely heard their murmurs of agreement. They were so determined to make me welcome, they all genuinely cared for me. I couldn't believe it. Not only had I run around the house trying to avoid all of them, but I had insulted them, and they still wanted me in their family. I couldn't take it anymore. I stepped into the living room, their heads shot up and everyone was looking at me, and I knew that they were expecting me to say something.

"I'm sorry." I murmured, holding up a hand gently when Esme opened her mouth to speak. "No. I really am. I shouldn't have run upstairs. That's no way to repay you. It's horrible of me to do such a thing. I'm just so confused. I wake up in a house I've never seen before, at least not that I can remember, surrounded by people I don't know who are telling me that somehow I'm a vampire. To make things even worse I have no idea who I am, what my name is, who my family is, or where I live. Despite all of this, you guys welcome me with open arms. I'm sorry for acting this way. I just hope that you can forgive me." I stared at the floor, prepared for any possible reaction. I would be blushing furiously right now if I could still blush. What I didn't expect was two pairs of cold arms to suddenly come up and embrace me.

"How could we not forgive you?" Esme said softly into my ear, "You're family now." I smiled softly, putting my arms around her. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by people, cold arms around me.

"Yeah. You didn't even do anything wrong." Rosalie reminded me. "Every teenager has the right to flip out about something like that." I laughed quietly.

"Yeah. It's cool. I'm already looking forward to have a new lil' sis." Emmett murmured. I smiled.

"I have a feeling living here with you guys is gonna rock." I murmured and buried myself into the arms of my new family.

AN: Okay, so there you got! Press the pretty purple button... you know you want to!!!!
