I am oh so tired...I have been taking care of Nessie for two weeks because Edward was supposedly out on a
hunting trip.
"Carlisle,"I said wearly,"Do you think you could take care of Nessie for a while so I can get some
rest...and maybe call Edward?"
"Ummm sure."
The wierd part about this quote hunting trip was that nobody else in the family went with him and usually emmette or alice went.I flipped open the brand new LG VU Edward had bought me for christmas and dialed
his phone rang more than usual when finally he picked up the phone.
"Umm Bells honey whats wrong?" He said with his honey velvet voice.
"When are you coming home and where have you been?"I asked with worry.
"I'll be back been visiting with the Denali's. See they have a new vampire and I have been hunting with them."
He sounded like he was telling the truth.
"Oh ok...whats the new ones name?"I asked with wonder in my voice.
"Her name is Lyric...she is just like you...I can't wait till you meet her!"
"Yea sounds great...Im going to go get some rest...I'll call in the morning...I love you."I said frustrated.
"Umm yea ok bye."
The phone clicked to silence and I wanted to the first time in our relationship he didnt say he loved me when we got off the fone...and he actually sounded happy to not be talking to me.
"Alice!!"I screamed at the top of my lungs.
She pranced in like a fairy and sat down beside me...i went over the whole conversation with her and the last word out of my mouth was"cheating".

Chapter 2:The Newbie
I sat around the whole night waiting for Edward to call me...it wasn't like I could sleep anyway.
Around six o'clock in the morning my phone rang and I knew he was on his way home.
"Hello."
"Hey babe...I'm on my way home and I brought Lyric along to meet you."
His voice made me want to melt.
"Oh...umm...that sounds fantastic."Was my only reply.
"I know you aren't a big fan of her,but I know you two will be great friends.I'll be home around eight and be sure to tell everyone we are coming!"
"Ok...I love you...bye." I sounded kind of tired...which is wierd.
"Love you too Bells!"
And the phone clicked silent.
At around eight I heard the car pull into the driveway.
Nessie had been screaming her head off all day and nobody could stop her.
As soon as Edward walked in, the room became silent.
Nessie was overwelmed that Edward was back home,but also confused about why Lyric was with him.
She had never seen her dad with another woman besides me.
I became infuriated about how beautiful she was.
Nessie was bewilderd by her beauty as well.
In fact she was prettier than Rosalie...and I couldn't stand it!
You could tell that I hated her and I hoped she knew it!
"Hello Lyric,I'm Carlisle and this is my wife Esme."
"These are our foster children Emmett,Rosalie,Jasper, course you know Edward and this is his wife Bella and their daughter Renesmee."
"Hi there."Was Lyrics reply.
"Nice to meet you...we are going to be great friends!! "
Now where have I heard that before?
*
Within an hour things became more comfortable around the house...and she became more flirty.
She snuggled with MY HUSBAND,kissed his cheeks,and all of the above!
Edward didnt even flinch when she did any of this!
Both Renesmee and I were fed up with her!
Soon enough Edward broke the news to me.
"Bells honey...Lyric will be staying with us for about a week or that great?"
"Whoa there hold up...you mean I have to but up with over there for that long?No I refuse,Nessie and I will stay in the cottage and you can put up with her."
Her face looked like she wanted to rip me apart...and i hope she tried!
Even though Lyric got mad Nessie was in my lap laughing as hard as she could...I felt like had acoomplished something and actually stood up for something i felt was wrong.

Chapter 3:All Because a Cup of Blood
The next morning I refused to leave the cottage because I knew that she would give me death stares but I don't really know why I care,I mean its not like she could rip me apart.
A little after six o'clock in the morning I heard a knock at the door.
I knew it was her because nobody was breathing.
I slowly got up from the breakfast table were Nessie sat playing with her food, and awensered the door.
As I predicted Miss Flirty was standing there with a smile on her face.
"What do you want?"I asked leaning against the frame of the door.
"Well I just wanted to apologize for getting flirty with Edward last night...and I really want to be your friend..."The sentence trailed off,her voice sounding like a perfect symphony.
"Yeah we'll see about that."Her feelings looked hurt.
"Do you mind if I come in? Carlisle said you were probably thirsty and I thought it might break the ice a little bit if I brought you a cup of nice cold animal blood. Maybe we can even talk this over if needed and I kind of wanted to meet your daughter."
"Ok you can come in,but I'm only doing this for Edward!"Was my only reply.
"Oh thank you thank you!"She sounded like a clone of Alice.
The next thing I know I'm sitting in the living room talking to Lyric while Nessie was taking her afternoon nap.
It's like we are best friends now.
All because a cup of blood.

Chapter 3:Stealing Family
As days went on Lyric i became closer and Edward and Nessie drew farther away.
I didnt seem to notice until one night Nessie wouldn't let me hold her or tuck in for bed.
Lyric seemed to do it all.
"Silly girl. She seems to have become more attached to me the longer i stick around." Was all Lyric said.
To me it seemed like she was stealing my family...Alice hadn't even asked me to go shopping with her lately.
But every day Lyric became closer to the family,every day someone else wouldn't speak to me.
One night i was watching tv and i heard foot steps in Renesmee room.
Suddenly someone sat down with my baby in the pink and green rocking chair.
My first instinct was Edward was in there.
But i remembered that all the boys went hunting for the night.
Then Jake came to mind...but he hadnt been around for a few days.
Names ran through my mind as fast as possible.
Roslie,Alice,Esme.
I began to hear a lullaby from a voice i had only heard for the past few days.
A symphany like voice...i should have known.

Chapter 4:Roses and Chocolate
As i relized she was in there Jacob burst through the door.
I will never understand the imprinting.
"Where is the b*tch!!!! I'll rip her to shreds!!!!! What has she done to our Nessie!!" Shaking vilontley as he spoke but he was careful not to yell so that she wouldnt run.
I couldn't believe that Alice new this was coming but didnt do anything to stop her.
"Jake you won't do anything until I rip her apart then you can burn the pieces!!!" i whisperd.
I put my hair in a ponytail and crouched down into my hunting position.
Before i knew it jacob was in wolf form and came through the front door again.
We ran down the hallway side by side until we reached Renesmees room.
Still in my hunting crouch i reached for the door knob and turned pushing at the same time but it didnt open.
I tried again but it still did not open.
Jake let out a whine.
I knew wht he was thinking.
"Im not knocking it down,I'll go through the window."
I ran like a bullet out the front door into the darkness.
As i rounded the corner i smelt it.
Her scent of roses and chocolate coming out of the already open window.
I stopped dead in my tracks.
Jake tried to do the same but slid on some mud and stopped about twenty yards away.
I couldn't help but laugh at him.
I stopped laughing when i noticed a note by the window.
Both Jake and I walked to the window to read the note.
It read:
"Bella,
You fell for my plan is only one thing missing...Edward. Dont dought the fact that I'll be back for him,to complete my if youre looking for my daughter Renesmee then good luck because this plan is not what you think it luck and have fun playing my game."
