I'm SOOOO SORRY for the INSANELY LONG wait my lovely readers!! I say again, SO SORRY!! Anyway, here's the next chapter!! (I've been SOO busy lately, lots of stuff going on right now, I'm super stressed out.) Anyway, this is, unfortunately, mostly filler. It's funny in some parts though! Next chapter will be the first time Terryn is alone with Carlisle and Esme! (for Terryn, AKA, Mom and Dad.) That THAT should be interesting! In the next two chapters something big will happen…I promise you that. I actually wrote this part over a month ago, so after the chapter after this, the wait won't be too long!!

Please forgive any mistakes you see, I just finished this, and I wanted to get this out to you guys ASAP!!

After twenty minutes of enjoying my view and the sweet smell of the flowers, I went back down stairs to help bring the furniture and boxes into the house.

I'd been told that all of the possessions in the Cullen house that had been shipped to the island had been put into a large shed near the dock, so I went outside and down our large pathway. This time I went slowly, appreciating the beauty.

About twenty yards down the path, Emmett passed me while carrying two couches. They were very large and, surprisingly, fit under his incredible muscled arms. He carried one under each arm, and completely off of the ground. My jaw dropped. I still wasn't used to Emmett's strength yet. He saw my face and laughed.

"Edward's lifted up a moving van, what's so big about couches?" he asked good naturedly.

I smiled and shrugged.

"You know, if you could fit them under your arms, you could carry them too.

My eyebrows furrowed. That didn't seem possible.

"Kid, you're a newborn, you're stronger than me!" he said, chuckling.

"Really?" I gasped.

"Yeah!" Emmett said, putting down the couches on the path. "Come on." He grabbed my arm and we ran down the path.

Truthfully, I hadn't tested my newfound physical strength yet. I knew that I'd become stronger, but stronger than Emmett? That was too much for my mind to wrap itself around.

"Okay," he said, pointing at a four wheeler that he'd insisted on buying. "Lift it."

I raised my left eyebrow. This thing was huge and all metal and steel.

"Are you serious?" I asked quizzically.

"When am I not serious?" he countered.

I heard a quiet chuckle from behind the shed and a figure stepped out.

Rosalie shot him a disparaging look.

"Okay." Emmett faltered. "Fine. But right now I'm completely serious. Just try it."

I sighed, convinced I was just going to make a fool of myself. I crouched down, putting an arm underneath the machine. I pulled up hard, convinced that it would take all of my strength to lift it.

Instead, I feel backwards as the four-wheeler went slightly airborne, then began rolling down the beach. Rosalie doubled over and laughed maniacally as Emmett went to catch the rolling four-wheeler. Emmett's booming laugh sounded as he pushed the four-wheeler back up the beach.

"Whoa kid!" he exclaimed, still grinning.

If I was still human my face would have been bright red.

"Oh man, Emmett, I am so sorry."

"Sorry?! Kid that was the funniest thing I've seen in weeks!"

I ducked my face in further embarrassment.

"Don't feel bad, Terryn, it will take a while to get used to your strength. Besides, the four-wheeler's fine and it was Emmett," she shot a look at him, "who started it."

Emmett shrugged and grinned wider. "Take it for a ride." He said, gesturing to the four-wheeler.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. Of course, it belongs to the family." He smiled even wider. I wouldn't think it was possible.

"Do we have any helmets?" I asked, thinking about safety.

Rosalie and Emmett stared at me for a moment until I realized. I got onto the four-wheeler.

"Yeah, yeah, make fun of the newborn." I muttered. I then realized that I didn't know how to start it.

"Emmett? How do you start it?" I asked.

He walked over, turned the key, and the machine rumbled to life.

He told me the fundamentals. Basically, how to start, how to brake, turn, and go faster. Notice that he didn't tell me how to slow down.

Nervous that I would do something wrong and break it, I asked, "Emmett? Do you really want me driving this thing? What if I break it?"

"Yeah." He said. "Doesn't matter if you break it, that just means Rose gets to have fun fixing it."

I knew of Rosalie's love of cars, then realized that we didn't have any on the island and immediately felt bad for her. I began absentmindedly thinking of ways that I could break this thing and make it look like an accident.

"Okay." I said, still unsure. I turned the key and heard the engine rev loudly.

"Be back by six." Rosalie said. "Carlisle wants to have a family meeting and talk to you."

"Got it!" I called as I sped off.

I decided to stay close to the water so I wouldn't get lost in the jungle-like flora of the island. It wasn't very large, but I didn't really feel like using my head at the moment.

The smell of freesia, salt, and coconut engulfed the island in one splendorous scent. I breathed it in deeply as my hair whipped around my face and I accelerated. The ATV was so large it rolled over large roots and sticks with ease, and I wasn't thrown off once, which was unexpected.

As the sun shattered off of my skin, I could occasionally see small rainbows glancing off the white sand on the coast. I smiled to myself as I watched them dance out of the corner of my eye.

Suddenly, I felt an undeniable need for speed come over me. Something inside me urged me to go faster, to free myself somehow. I reached back, pulling away the rubber band holding my hair in place. My hair whipped behind me like a halo as I accelerated, relishing the sound of the revving engine.

"Woo!" I cried, grinning widely as I sped along. I leaned forward, ducking, creating the least wind resistance possible. I smiled maniacally as I saw the speedometer pass thirty.

It seemed as if something inside of me shifted. My thoughts sprang to the Cullens for no explainable reason, and I felt something inside of me lodge itself loose of my heart.

Some broken piece of me that had been there for twelve years had removed itself from where it had formerly been creating a barrier between my head and my heart. Something made me feel like I was soaring, like my feet had never even been touching the ground.

I kept going faster and faster, feeling, for the first time, completely uninhibited, truly loved, and carefree.

It was twilight when I returned to the mansion. I parked the ATV in the shed, and ran up the path, still smiling.

"I'm back!" I called, as I came through the door.

"You were gone for quite a while, dear." Esme said, walking into the foyer while wiping her hands on a kitchen towel.

"I'm sorry, I was riding Emmett's ATV." I said.

"Quite alright." She answered me. "Bella and I were just doing some cleaning, this place is covered with dust.

Even though I hadn't been with the Cullens long, I knew that Esme detested a dirty house.

"Can I help?" I asked.

Her perfect eyebrows furrowed. "You want to help with cleaning?"

"Umm…yes?" I questioned. I wanted to help, I didn't see what was so odd.

"A fifteen year old who offers to clean…" she muttered disbelievingly. "Of course you can help." She answered with a smile.

I smiled back and followed her through an arched doorway to the right. I quietly gasped as I could sight of our new living room.

The west wall was almost entirely covered by a mostly rectangular window that was topped by an arch. Dark, extremely long maroon curtains covered the window partway.

A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, sparking like our skin. An enormous crème

plush couch nearly covered the east wall. A colossal oak entertainment center (which a large, flat screen television had already been placed in) stood against the North wall. A couch identical to the one on the east wall was placed in front of a large television, with a wood coffee table that matched the wood of the entertainment center. An at least thirty square foot oriental rug covered the floor.

All in all, it was incredible.

"Wow." I breathed.

"Isn't it lovely?" Esme inquired. I nodded my instant agreement.

Bella looked up from the coffee table she was polishing. "Hi Terryn." She said.

"Hey Bella." I said, kneeling down next to her and picking up a dust rag.

"Did you have fun on Emmett's ATV?"

"Yeah!" I replied enthusiastically. "It was awesome, it felt like I was flying."

Bella smirked. "He tried to buy one for me before I was changed. I couldn't handle walking across a flat surface, how was I supposed to handle an ATV?" I laughed.

"Oh, by the way, steer clear of Alice for tonight, unless you want to go shopping early tomorrow. If you steer clear of her, it may buy you a few days time."

I smiled. "And how long did you go before she dragged you to a mall?"

"Two days. But I had Edward protecting me from her, so the time is understandable. You on the other hand, don't have a chance."

"Oh man." I groaned.

Bella laughed. "You have no idea what Alice is capable of until she gets you ready for a prom you didn't want, or didn't know you were going to attend."

I laughed again. "Yikes."

At that moment, I heard Alice's bell-like voice. "I heard you! Terryn, we're going shopping for your new wardrobe in two days! Unfortunately, I have to go with Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, and Edward tomorrow to pick out a new boat. You're welcome to come with us!" she said brightly. I inwardly groaned at the "shopping" part.

"Told you." Bella muttered.

"Thanks Alice, but I think I'll pass on the boat shopping. I'm guessing I can't get out of shopping for a new wardrobe…"

"You're just as bad as Bella! And no, you cannot." She smiled before walking away from the door.

"Just remember, the store has to close at some point, even for her." Bella said, just like Rosalie had.

A sense of dread made its way into my stomach.

How you liked! Show the purple button some love!! :D
