The next day - I woke at around 10 O'clock, and to my surprise I'd slept great, better than I had since I was ten. I sigh as I push back my quilts and climb out of bed. After getting dressed into simple but warm clothes, I made the bed and then head out of the room and down stairs.

I stop at the bottom of the steps when I hear people talking, there were three extra; two males and a female. I sigh slightly as I step completely off the steps and head towards the kitchen, were I was 100% sure the owners of the voices where.

I stop in the door way; stud in the kitchen was Morgan, and of course three people I'd never met before; like I'd thought two were male and one was female.

The older of the two males looked like the kind I'd describe as having a very private mind, he has a mustache, and short brown hair with brown eyes, and stands at about 6' 0½" feet tall.

And the younger of the two males stands at around 6' 7" feet tall, with a toned and muscular build, and would be best described as having dark russet skin, and long black hair, that stops at around his mid back.

The female has a very pale complexion with long, straight, dark brown hair and wide chocolate brown eyes; she has a heart-shaped face, a widow's peak, a thin nose, and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin and full lips, she stands at 5' 4" and looks like she weighs about 110 pounds.

I keep quiet, almost hiding behind the door, but my senses told me they were ok, that there was nothing to fear of these new comers. Morgan turns to face me when she catches my movements at the door.

"Lace, you're up" she says as she moves towards me.

As she says this the other three look towards me. I notice how the girl smiles slightly.

Morgan must have knowing my fellings, because she says "It's ok. Their not gonna hurt you".

I nod uncertanily as I walk forward a bit.

The girl stands up and walks towards me as she says "Hi, I'm Bella. It's nice to meet you". Bella then holds out her hand with a warm smile.

I look at her hand for a few seconds and then slowly reach out and take hold of it as I say "Yeah. I'm Lace".

Bella smiles as she motions to the older male and says "This is my dad, Charlie". I nod with a small smile.

"And this is Jacob Black" Bella says as she motions to the other male.

I nod again as I say "It's nice to meet you". I then look towards Charlie as I say "I'll try and stay out of trouble sir".

Charlie nods as he says "That's all I ask. And welcome to Forks".

"Thank you, sir" I reply.

"Bella, was just saying how she'll be going to the local supermarket soon, I was thinking that if Bella didn't mind, you could go with her. Get some things in for yourself, like candles, shampoo, toothpaste" Morgan says as she looks at me with a smile.

I look at Morgan with a lost look, was she doing this on porpous, she knew I had no money. Morgan frowns when she sees the look on my face, she then says "Come with me, I want to show you something".

I nod slowly as I follow Morgan out off the room.

I sigh slightly when we stop in the second living room. I watch as Morgan reachs into the back of the grand piano and then pulls out two brown paper envelopes, she then turns and holds it out towards me.

"The lawyer who defended you gave me this, said it was found in you're uncles posetion, but the letters say they belong to you" Morgan says.

I reach out and take the envelopes. I then open the first and begin to read it;

'Dear, Miss. Lacey Francisco Melina Stone-Nightshade,
I write to tell you of the fortune you will receive when you become the age of eighteen it stands now at Two Million dollars but it now stands at $337662000 Dollars, due to the still incoming fund.
Now on a more serious note; should you die due to natural causes your closest family member will receive the money, in this case your Uncle; Dale Nightshade.

Yours sincerely, Mr. Bob Yearwood'.

I frown at the words before me, an then after a few seconds I open the second letter and begin to read it;

Dear, Miss. Lacey Francisco Melina Nightshade,
I write to tell you that in the recent days it was discovered that your Uncle, one Dale Nightshade, tired to kill you due to the inheritance that you had received from Scarlet and Kaige Nightshade.
Now you will have no doubt heard that you're Uncle was placed in jail for 5 years, and know that I did try to get him in for many more, but the judge wouldn't have it.
For you're one safety you will be put into the care of one Morgan Cole until the age of 19.
Hope you are having a nice day,
Mr. Bob Yearwood.

After a few seconds of staring at the piece of paper in front of me, I look up from the paper, my eyes lost slightly and my mind still swimming from the information that I'd just processed.

"That's how this all happened" I say absently.

I look at Morgan, and find her holding out a small see through plastic bag, inside the bag where two plastic cards and a another slip of paper.

I reach out and take it as I say "How did you get these, I know I'm not the brightest little hen, but I know they don't give these to any one but the rightful owner".

Morgan smiles, and then says "I'm trusted very well by the company that helped you, and I want you to know that you can trust me too".

I nod with a small smile, and then say "Yeah, I know, but I still need time".

Morgan nods, and then turns and walks back through into the kitchen. I frown slightly when I realize that Morgan was forcing her smile.

"Hay, you ready?" Bella's voice asks. I look up to find Bella and Jacob looking at me.

"Morgan said everything was sorted" Bella tells me.

I nod and say "Yeah, let me just grab a jacket and then we can go".

I smile slightly when I realize I might actually like these two. I then turn and quickly run up stairs.
