Hey guys, sorry I didn't get a chance to update. School is being really unfair right now. I haven't had a day off until now. I have color guard practice on 2 nights until 8pm, and then I had math, English, and reading assignments. Ok enough excuses, I know you really don't want to hear them… or read them…. Whatever it is you do with them. Only a week until the end of school, then I will update more.

Oh...before I forget, aandm20 is the only one that reviewed. She gets a cookie. * hands her a cyber cookie*

Ch. 4

Just like in the book, Rose's food was amazing. It tasted better than anything I had ever eaten before. I was almost finished eating when I heard a very loud laugh and an annoyed growl. I quickly finished and set my plate in the sink before walking out into the living room. The 2 that came in froze in shock as I walked out. The big one immediately dropped into a crouch prepared to attack. Remembering Anabeth words, I imagined him in a bubble and floating in the air. He then lifted up and was floating. I laughed at his face. He growled for a second longer then stopped. I finally controlled my laughter, thanks to jazz and responded, "Are you going to play nice and wait to attack me until you find out who I am and why I'm here?" he nodded, so I released him. He fell to the ground with a thud. The others couldn't hold in there laughter, and they laughed at his expression. He looked like a kid who was just picked on by a bully.

The other one finally spoke, "ok, now who are you, why are you here, and how did you just do that?" he looked panicked. I guessed that he was Edward, the emo boy as jazz described him, and the other was Emmett. "Son let me explain this to you. Her name is Amy. She is staying with us for a little while because her mom is in the intensive care unit at the hospital, and she has no other family. I honestly have no idea how she just did that. Can you explain Amy?" I looked at him for a moment. Then remembered Anabeth saying she could hear me.

Anabeth, how do I explain it? Help please! I saw her appear behind them. Can they see you? She nodded yes, if you want them to. I nodded. My powers are weaker here. Put them in a shield but don't lift them up. I would rather them not attack me... I quickly put a shield around them. "Hello Cullens," she quickly said. They all turned, in shock. "I'm guessing you are wondering why I'm here. Actually I know you are wondering why I'm here. My name is Anabeth. I am a special vampire with many powers. Including the one to pass certain gifts to others. I am helping Amy, anytime she goes unconscious, with anything she needs. I gave her the power to have physical as well as mental shield." The males had moved to the front of the group, scooting the girls to the back as she spoke. Carlisle walked up then. I knew he wouldn't hurt her, so I let him out of the bubble. He looked at me then at her, "So why are you here now? And what do you mean you know that's what we were thinking?" esme looked uncomfortable having him so close to her, and the others just looked shocked, except jasper who looked ready to fight at a moment's notice. "Guys, she is here because I asked her to help me explain how I did that. She can read minds like Edward and Aro, but without touch. She won't hurt you obviously, so quit wanting to kill her." I looked at Jasper as I said that, "your body language gives you away," I smirked as he gave me a confused look. "Ok Amy, I'm leaving but I will be back if you need me." She disappeared as she said that last word.

Once she was gone I released them. They obviously were clueless that they couldn't have got her. "Wait… she said she was a vampire and you didn't freak out. How do you know?" Edward paced franticly as he spoke. Shish, dramatic much. "Edward, I kno-" I was cut off by a very beautiful, yet stressed vampire. "How do you know his name? You said something about a book earlier, what was that? My family may be in danger; I want to know, now!" Esme looked at her, stunned, "Rosalie Lillian Cullen! She is a guest. You will treat her with respect." Rose just turned and stormed off. I cringed, I had already intruded, but now I was getting them mad at one another.

"I'm sorry for this Esme and Carlisle. I hate being the cause of family problems," I was looking down, too embarrassed to face them. I felt a blanket of confidence hit me, but I shoved it away, glaring at Jasper. U looked back down then, and I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder. This time I couldn't shove the calm away. I looked up to see that it was jazz with his hand on me. He smirked at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him as I tried to shrug out of his hold. His hand, unfortunately, moved with me. "Sweetie, it's ok. They're teens, they fight all the time. They'll get over it. Now I think it would be… good… for the others if you would share about your life. I think it will help them understand." I looked at Carlisle's face as he said this. His eyes held compassion for me and a hint of curiosity. I laughed, it was so like him. "I guess I will try," my voice was weak with sadness and stress. Jasper never removed his hand as we walked over to the couches. "Edward, if you can be polite, you can stay, but I do not want another scene like rose's. Do you understand?" esme's voice was soft, but I heard the authority in it. "Yes mom," he replied quietly. He always got away with anything when he said that. Alice had set down in Jasper's lap and was leaning on him. I smiled and set on the floor in front of her, "Alice, I know you're dying to, so you have permission to play with my hair and do whatever you want to, except cut it, while I'm talking," she giggled and nodded. Carlisle nodded to me. I inhaled, held it for a minute, then released it, "ok, I was born December 23, 1987. (A/n it is 2 weeks until Bella arrives. In 2005.) I was the first born. Naturally, I was the pampered princess. My parents both loved me dearly, but I was a daddy's girl. I did everything with him. Actually I was probably the first 5 year old to help change the oil in the car. Anyways, when I was 6, mom had another baby, Caleb. He was born quite early and spent the first 3 weeks of his life in an incubator. Once mom brought him home, he was my doll. I would dress him up in the cutest outfits, and then take him strolling down the streets. Mom always came of course. We formed quite a bond together.

When he was just over 2, he got really sick. I was never told what, but mom and dad took him to the hospital. I was left at my babysitter's house. That night when I kissed him goodbye was the last time I ever saw him. I learned later that his lungs had collapsed from the sickness, and he died from suffocation. I was devastated and so were my parents. I understood what had happened, and I hid in my room for 2 days straight. I didn't even come out to eat. Mom brought in in there to me. I couldn't understand why God had taken him from me. I was young and had the impression that God only did good things. Mom never tried to have more kids after that. She even sealed off his room the way it was when they left that horrid night. His room was never opened again.

The three of us lived in peace for the next few years, although they were never the same. When I turned 11, dad was called in to serve in the military. He had joined before he was married. Mom and I bonded closer in those years dad was gone. We were able to hold together while he was away. It was 2 weeks till dad came home, and mom and I were trying to get the house ready for him to come home to. He had been gone for almost 4 years and I was 15, so I could help get ready. He was in a jeep, riding back to the main camp. They were finishing up getting ready so they could depart. They hit a road side bomb. When the officer called, he said there were no survivors from the accident. Mom went to pieces. I had to be strong to help her through it, but at night I would sing the song that dad sang to me to get to sleep. Ever sense I have fallen asleep listening to that song on my iPod, Never Alone by lady antebellum.

I met Carlisle and esme earlier today at children's hospital. I had to get a physical for color guard, and Esme was coming in as I was waiting on my mom. I got a call from the chief of forks that my mom had been in a wreck, so they drove me to the emergency room. We went in and found my mom basically lifeless in the ICU. Carlisle said that her chances aren't good. She is all the family I have left. They both asked if I would like to come here with them until the situation is resolved. They also said they would help me with my mom since I had to decide what to do," my face was red and wet when I finished. Alice was rubbing my shoulders when Esme came over to me and held her arms out. She helped me up and then hugged me softly. Cooing words of comfort. "Thanks Esme," I whispered quietly to her. She nodded and just held me tighter. "She isn't the only family you have Amy. You have us, too," I froze at those words, for it wasn't Esme or Carlisle that said this. It was that stunning blond vampire that had just stormed off. "I'm sorry I was such a jerk to you. I never thought about what you have gone through. I am just very protective of my family." I nodded at her, "of course I understand Rosalie, I would be the same with my family too!" she came over to me then and placed a delicate hand on my shoulder sweetly. It may not seem like much to you, but that was a very big step for her. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 9 already. "Thank you for listening and understanding. It means a lot to me." They all nodded, "thank you for sharing. Now what time do you need to go to bed? I'm afraid we haven't had the need to set a bed time in this family?" I chuckled at his words, "I think I'll head on up. I feel rather calm and tired at the moment," I smirked at jasper as I yawned. He laughed and I felt another blanket of tranquility hit me. I stuck my tounge out at him as I stumbled up the stair, finally making it up and crawled into bed. I felt cold hands touch my arm, and saw Esme sitting on my bed beside me. She leaned down and gave me a soft hug, "goodnight baby girl, sleep well." I heard the door slip shut as I drifted off into that same white room. Anabeth was waiting on me with a smile on her face. I smiled back and walked over to meet her.

Ok that's all for now. I will try to update again soon. REVIEW! sorry if Rose and Edward are ooc. i just dont like that they are mean.

Until then,
