I was finally leaving. I had said goodbye to everyone and was now about to start running to Forks after my long plane ride to Seattle. I was really excited. I was dressed in a yellow summer dress, even though it was winter, and my Volturi cloak. I really wanted the picture I had imagined months ago to come true. The Cullen's waiting nervously, and then I would come dancing into the clearing. The perfect entrance.
***
We were all waiting nervously in the base ball clearing. Alice had only seen one of the Volturi guard come, but one was enough. We couldn't kill them, as the Volturi would know it was us, but we couldn't let them go, because then they would know about Nessie. Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, Me, Edward, Bella, Jasper, Alice and Jacob all stood in a line, waiting for them to come. Nessie was sitting on Jacob's back.
It was 31st of December, New Years Eve. We didn't even know which guard it was, the guards face had been covered by their hood.
We could now hear someone approaching. I kissed Esme's cheek, and grabbed her hand...
***
I had ran the whole way and was now just about to enter the clearing. I really hoped they didn't attack. But I didn't think about that much; I was too excited to worry. I danced forward into the clearing watching them from under my hood.
I stopped about 20 metres away from the Cullen's, and just looked at them for a moment. The Cullen's all looked the same as they did before, all very beautiful. I looked at Bella and she fitted in perfectly with the beautiful family. Jacob was in wolf form, but he still looked amazing. I had always wondered what they really looked like as wolves. It was pretty cool. Lastly I looked at Nessie. She looked so like Bella and Edward it was amazing. She was adorable! So cute!
I stopped staring at them after a few seconds of silence. I smiled at them, though they wouldn't be able to tell because I had my hood up.
'Well, helloo people! It is great to see you all again, and to see some new faces! Bella! You look simply stunning, and so does your adorable little girl! I knew she would be! And Jacob! How amazing to finally meet you! Even if you are in wolf form! It's still amazing!' I said in one breath. I could see them all looking at me weirdly, so I pulled my hood down. 'Do you remember me now? I am hurt. I thought you would remember the random little girl who knew who you all were. Well I am going to have to work on my first impressions. I don't want people forgetting me!' I frowned, but then started grinning again. I looked over at Alice and Carlisle, and they were grinning right back. Everyone else looked really confused. I could feel myself buzzing with excitement. My old personality is back! Yay! I thought to myself, mentally doing an air punch.
'Maggie! I thought you were never coming! Welcome. I already know you know everyone, so no need for me to introduce you to everyone,' Carlisle said, smiling at me fondly. Like as if I was another of his daughters. Wow, I made friends way too easily.
'Sure do! Though it looks like they don't all know who I am! I am disappointed,' I said, not able to get the grin off of my face. I suddenly started to feel a little dizzy, my emotions messing my brain up a little. I remembered feeling this way when I had first met them all. And now I could stay with them, if they let me, so it was a thousand times worse as I was a thousand times happier. I swayed a little bit, 'Wow, I feel dizzy...' I said, putting my hand to the side of my head. I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to get rid of the feeling. I took a deep breath, and suddenly I felt better. Jasper must have been helping me calm down a little. It still felt amazing to be back to my old happy self. 'Anyway, I am having a little bit of trouble with my diet; I was hoping you guys could help me. Oh and by the way, I quit the Volturi,' I took my cloak off then, and stuffed it in my backpack. 'I would just chuck it on the floor,' I said gesturing to my cloak as I continued to shove it out of sight into my backpack, 'but that would be littering!'
Emmett and Jasper snorted, and Alice grinned at me.
'Yes of course Maggie, we would be happy to help, do you want to come back to our house now?' Carlisle asked, and I nodded. I stepped forward towards them, but stopped when I heard Jacob growl.
'He wants to know if you're really going to trust a bloodsucker with red eyes just like that.' Edward told Carlisle for Jacob.
'Sure am. I'm sure Maggie will explain everything when we get back to our house. Anyway, she is an old friend of sorts and she has helped us alot in the past,' Carlisle told his family. Alice nodded along with them.
I smiled at Jacob, 'Seriously Jacob, I would have become veggie ages ago if I could, but it was not possible. Please forgive me?' I gave him a puppy dog eyes stare. He looked away and grunted. I would take that as a yes.
I danced forward, and kissed Alice on both of her cheeks. 'Alice! So glad to finally meet you properly and I see you did a great job with doing as I asked! Thank you so much!'
'No! Thank you!' she said, smiling at me, 'you really have been a great help! Let me introduce you to my mate, Jasper!'
I turned to him and smiled, 'Jasper! Pleased to meet you properly, don't worry; I'm no more dangerous now than what I was when I was human. Actually if I recall correctly, you and Emmett were a little weary of me then! But I wouldn't hurt you guys! 'I hugged him and turned to Emmett who was standing next to him.
'Emmett! I hardly know you and yet I feel I have known you forever! I am so glad to get a chance to know you properly!' He chuckled and hugged me back when I hugged him. Then I moved on to Rosalie.
'Rosalie! You look even more beautiful then I remember. I hope we can be great friends,' I smiled at her, not daring to hug her. She had always scared me a little, and I wasn't sure how she would react to me hugging her. But she surprised me by wrapping me in a tight hug.
Esme, I just hugged her without words. She felt like a mother to me, though she had only seen me once before.
Edward and Bella I greet by saying, 'Well, I hope your relationship has been fault free! Carlisle and Alice have worked very hard over the last couple of year! Well, you all look happy now, and it could have been so much worse,' I didn't explain what I meant, I just hugged them. Only Alice and Carlisle seemed to understand what I had just said.
Lastly I moved to Nessie and Jacob, 'Nessie! So great to meet you! I know you probably have been told millions of times, but you are adorable!' she touched her hand to my face. She showed me every single person in her family saying she was adorable. I looked at her and she rolled her eyes. I laughed and hugged her.
Then I looked at Jacob. His head was about the same level as mine was. A little higher. 'Jacob! You're huge! I never thought you would be this big. I bet you won't phase back though, so I can see what you really look like will you,' he shook his head, 'oh well, I can wait. Maybe one day you will trust me!' I reached up and patted his head, 'I always did like dogs!' I grinned at him and he rolled his eyes. It was so easy to get on with them all. And I don't think it was just because of my power either. 'So, do I get to meet your pack any time soon?' he shrugged. 'Aaah, so they don't want to meet me, oh well, again I can wait!'
It was then we started running back.
We soon arrived at the Cullen house, and we sat in the living room.

'So you're telling me that you wrote a journal of advice of Carlisle and Alice because you come from a parallel universe that has books about us because you wanted our lives to be perfect?' Bella said incredulously.
'Well, when you say it like that, you make me sound obsessive,' I muttered looking down.
'You're amazing! Thank you!' Bella was hugging me then and I hugged her back.
I had just finished explaining everything about myself to them all. The good thing was everyone believed me. I had even told them about my power, and how it had affected me when I was with the Volturi, not letting me not fit in by drinking animal blood.
'We would be happy for you to join our coven,' Esme said to me, 'You are a lovely girl and you have helped us so much,' she smiled at me and I nodded.
'If you are all sure,' they all nodded and I grinned. 'What I really need though is help becoming veggie. I have some control, the Volturi taught me that, but I still would like help.'
'Don't worry, we will all hep you,' Carlisle said and I smiled.

I had been living with the Cullen's for about two weeks now. I was great friends with all of them, and hadn't slipped once. I had even gone shopping with Alice and hadn't tried to attack anyone. My eyes were still reddish amber, but I had known they would take about a month to change completely.
I was with Jacob and Nessie right now, playing in the forest. I had been trying to persuade Jake to phase so I could see him properly, and to let me meet his pack. Edward had told me he wouldn't until my eyes were golden. But I wasn't about to give up.
'Jakeeeeeeeeeee, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I read about you ages ago, and its bugging me not knowing what you really look like! And I want to meet the other wolves! And I know, I know, they don't want to meet an annoying little vampire like me, but still! Pretty please, I really want to know what you look like!' I had been saying this sort of thing for over an hour today. He sighed a wolfy sigh, and disappeared behind a tree. Maybe he was going to phase. I had been bugging him every day for two weeks.
He came back only a minute later... human. He looked so much better than his description. I could feel my mouth pop open. 'Oh. My. God. Jake! You look amazing! I would never have imagined you to look like this! You don't look at all like the actor that played you did!' I hugged him and he chuckled.
'You do know you are mental Maggie. But, you are not meeting my pack until your eyes are golden,' he said firmly, and then smiled at me.
I grinned at him. 'So does this mean you trust me?' He rolled his eyes at me and smiled.
'I blame it on your stupid gift. Stupid mental lucky vampire that forces me to like her!' he muttered, throwing his arms in the air.
Jacob, Emmett, Jasper and Edward had so easily become my brothers. It was so strange. I knew I would feel as though they were my brothers, but it was weird they felt the same way.
Emmett, Jasper and I were constantly playing random games. I had watched them wrestling one day, and asked if I could have a go. I wasn't too bad, since I had my Volturi training, but I was no match to their decades of practice. When they bragged about that, I just called them old men, and we had all started laughing.
Jake and I, well mostly all I had done was bug him about not phasing, and it was hard to have a convosation with him when he wouldn't phase. But he knew the most about me. Probably because I wasn't going to let a silly thing like him being a werewolf and not being able to reply get in my way. Over the past two weeks, I had either been nagging him, or talking at him. Not to him, at him. Any time he would sigh or roll his eyes I would remind him it was his fault that we couldn't have a proper convosation.
It was impossible not to be really close with Edward and Bella, since I knew so much about them, and they loved me because I had helped them.
Carlisle and Esme were practically my parents. I can't really say any more about them.
Alice and Rosalie I was closest to. They were like my most perfect sisters. They loved shopping and we could talk for hours about random stuff.
I really did love my family.
