"Every rose has its thorn and all beauty has its evil"

Aubrey and Aiyana had already finished unpacking when Edward and I arrived at the Cullen's house. I was a little surprised in all honesty, I thought that vampires who had lived for so many years would have accumulated many positions, however they had surprisingly few. Edward told me it was easier this way, for quick getaways.

"Hello Bella hunny" Esme welcomed me as soon as I was in the door

Everyone was in the large living room doing their own things. Emmett and Jasper were playing Uno, Emmett let out a large growl every so often frustrated that he was losing. Alice was braiding Rosalie's long golden hair. Carisle was talking with the two new family members; Aubrey and Aiyana.

I couldn't help but notice Aiyana glance at me, the same look in her eyes I had seen the day before. I still could not figure out what emotion was behind this look. I decided it was nothing and went to sit with Alice.

"Bella! How do you like Rosalie's hair? We're going shopping today, you have to come"

Thankfully Edward came to my rescue "Actually Bella and I have something to do today" he said winking at me. Of course I knew he was fibbing. He was well aware that I hated shopping.

"That's too bad" Rosalie said, although I could tell her heart was not in it

"Edward, I was hoping you could take me to see the local natives today" Aiyana turned her dazzling smile in Edward's direction.

"Of course, in fact Bella is close with some of them." Turning to me he added "would it be ok if we took Aiyana to visit Billy and Jacob?"

"That's fine" I replied. Aiyana gave me her mysterious look again, I decided I didn't like it.

"Great, thankyou very much" she said, again smiling at Edward. I was beginning to grow a dislike to Aiyana. No, that was ridiculous, she was simply being polite to Edward. I just wasn't used to having girls so comfortable around Edward, the human girls around here had an innate instinct to keep their distance from the Cullen's, I think deep down inside they knew that there was something not quite right about them.

"Will you come with us Aubrey?" I hoped he'd say yes

I wasn't sure why and I knew it was silly but I just didn't feel all that comfortable around Aiyana.

"No, I think I will stay here with Carisle, learn more about his fascinating history" He answered flashing his perfect smile

"Hi Bella what are you doing here?" Jacob grinned his big puppy grin. I was happy to see him, it had been a while and I realised how much I missed him.

"Well the Cullen's have a friend staying with them and she wanted to meet some local natives. She's native American too" I said.

Now that I was here I wasn't sure if this was such a good idea. It was no secret that Billy had a problem with the Cullen's. But hopefully he would be ok with Aiyana since she wasn't actually part of the family…yet.

"Um, maybe you should visit some different locals, you know how dad gets" Jacob said this while looking at the ground, clearly he was thinking along the same lines as me.

"Yeah I was just thinking the same thing actually" I said turning to Edward "Maybe we should go visit some of the other Elder's"

"We'll go, you stay here with your friend. I don't want to be a burden on you. We can come and get you on our way back" Aiyana said smiling her dazzling smile

I was about to argue but I saw Jacob grinning at the idea of us spending some time together. I couldn't hurt his feelings by saying no, so I agreed to stay here while they visited the Elders.

"I haven't seen you in ages Bella, how have you been?" It was true, the last time I had seen Jacob was weeks ago and only for a second

"Yeah I've been good. Busy with school you know. How is everything here? Got a girlfriend yet hey?" we began to walk towards the beach

"No" Jacob said looking at the ground as we walked "I finished working on my car though"

"oh wow you'll have to take me on a drive soon then"

"Yeah sure, whenever you're free"

It was so easy to talk to Jacob, there was never any struggle to find conversation and never any awkward silences. The time went so quickly it was a surprise when I looked up to see Edward and Aiyana walking towards us along the beach.

Back at the Cullen's house I decided to ask Edward more about the two new family members. We were sitting on Edward's big black couch.

"Edward, can you tell me more about Aiyana and Aubrey?"

Edward took my hand in his and smiled "Of course, what is it you want to know?"

I thought about it, what did I want to know? I guess I wanted to know everything "Where are they from? How did they get changed? How long ago was it?"

Edward laughed lightly at my rush of questions

"Aiyana was born 150 years ago in a tribe further up north. She was promised to a tribal leader who belonged to another, larger tribe. She was supposed to marry him when she turned 17 but before her 16th Birthday she fell in love with a boy in her tribe, Ahanu. No one knew about them, and they knew that in just one year she would be forced to leave and marry into the other tribe. 6 months before her marriage Ahanu disappeared, no one knew where he had gone, Aiyana was crushed. Finally the night before her marriage Aiyana awoke to find Ahanu beside her."

Edward paused, I guessed he was thinking whether or not he should be telling Aiyana's story.

"What happened?" I urged

"Well Ahanu had disappeared because a vampire had changed him one night while Ahanu was hunting. The vampire had caught Ahanu's scent and changed him but for some reason he did not wait around for Ahanu to change, instead he just left him there. Ahanu went wild for those first 6 months, but eventually he remembered Aiyana and he came back for her."

"And he changed her" I finished the story for him "but where is he now?"

"Well they were together for many years after that, but Ahanu grew restless. He left Aiyana and the next time she saw him he was in love with a human girl."

I felt a sudden surge of sadness for Aiyana. What would I do if it was me in that position, what if Edward ever fell out of love with me? I couldn't even bear the thought of it. It would kill me.

Edward seemed to notice this; he squeezed my hand and kissed me lightly on the nose.

"I will always love you" he whispered

Tell me about Aubrey I said, hoping that this would take my mind off things.

"Well Aubrey was born in 1770 in France Paris. He was born into nobility and grew up in the courts of Versailles. He was changed by a peasant girl who was in love with him, but he did not return her feelings. After he realised what she had turned him into he resented her more than anything. He chose this way of life, not to harm people, she chose differently."

This story had not made me feel any better. I was suddenly realising that not every vampire had a happy ending to their story like the Cullen's did.

I knew my story would be different. Edward and I would be different. It was my choice to change, it wouldn't be a decision made for me. I would make it myself. My story would have a happy ever after ending.

I couldn't help but feel a tight feeling in the pit of my stomach. No, I told myself, my story would be different. It had to be.

A/N- Please Review this chapter. I need to know what you think of it, and any suggestions are Welcome.

I decided to not make Jacob a werewolf because he is not a main character in this fanfic so it would be pointless for me to extend on him.

I wanted to explain Aiyana and Aubrey's pasts, it is very important.
