* DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WISH I DID(: *

*A/N* Hope You Enjoy(:


came back to me foggy and slowly. I looked around and I saw a blazing sun shine down on clear blue water and tropical trees, with people laying on the beach. Then in the same glance, I saw a perfect garden with wooden arches along a pebble road. I put my hand on my neck, it was throbbing in pain, then it stopped. I looked to my arm. No sparkles?

I slowly got up and walked to a young lady laying on the warm sand. Warm... yes, it is warm and it didn't send chills through me.

"Excuse me," I asked the girl. She turned her head toward me.

"Ah, yeah your dead." she said bluntly

"What?" I was surprisingly calm.

"I'm Amber." She propped herself up on her elbow and I sat down beside her.

"Leslie." I looked out to the water. Guys were surfing and children were playing. "This doesn't look like a place for the dead."

"Mhm, it's paradise for the damned, I guess. The big guy upstairs thought ahead." I looked at her puzzled. "Did you drink blood from only the people who had to die?" She laughed. "dumb question of course you did."

I shook my head. "I only fed on animals."

"Oh, not bad, anyway, this is were we come when we have been destroyed. Not a bad deal if you ask me."

I frowned. "I'm dead... dead... dead. How long have you been here?"

"Ehh, maybe an hour. Give or take a few minutes."

"Is this were we stay? Or do we like.."

"Move on?" she finished for me and shrugged. "Some people disappear but I won't know til it happens."

I sighed. "So, is there a way you can get out of here to find more answers?"

She laughed with no emotion. "Why would you want to leave? Hot guys, nice warm beach, I can soak up the sun with out blinding people and risking exposure. It's better than what's on Earth." She slowly started to fade away. "I guess it's my time. Catch yah on the flip side." Her and her voice faded away.

I looked around to see if there was anybody else to talk to and that's when I saw two people walking past me.

"Excuse me, are you dead vampires too?"

They laughed with no emotion. "Yes, I'm Tyler."

"And I'm Erica."

"I'm Leslie, how long have you guys been here?"

"30 minutes," Tyler said

"5 day." Erica said.

"I just met a girl and she had been here for an hour and she already moved on."

"She must have had a lot of family to fight for her then." Erica half smiled.

"What do you mean by that? I asked.

"We come here as soon as we get ripped apart." Tyler answered. "We stay while our family members, that we knew, fight for us to move on, against the people we killed. So for example me, I knew only my mother and father, they have to fight their hardest to get me to move on against the thousands of people I killed."

"But for me, I knew none of my family members. So I may just stay here since nobody is there to argue for me." Erica said.

"Wow." I said and they started to fade away... No... I started to fade away. When everything became clear again, I was in front of a judge. To my left were 13 familiar faces. Both my parents, all my grandparents, all four of my aunts and uncle, I was surprised to not see there spouses. And the last two people I almost cried for when I saw them. Alex and Milly. That means...

"Johnson, Leslie Elizabeth, Case number 105." The bailiff said interrupting my train of thought. "She has 13 family members she has spoken to in her time on Earth and 1 victim."

"That's all, and she's been alive how long?" The judge said puzzled. Both the judge and bailiff had no faces, just arms and uniforms

"19 human years, and 91 vampire years, your honor."

"Where are the rest of her victims?" The judge questioned.

"They are unable to speak, your honor."

"Why is that, bailiff?"

"They were animals, your honor." The bailiff handed the judge my thin pile of papers. It only took the judge 1 minute to look them over.

"Miss Johnson." the judge said leaning on her desk. "You are free to be with you family." The gavel was banged and I was in front of a house that said Johnson on the door.

"Come in, sweetheart." My mother said opening the door.

I felt a tear stream down my face as I walked into the house. "Momma." I said hugging her.

Wait, I'm crying?

"Hi, baby girl." She said stroking my back. She pulled away from me and grabbed my face between her hands and smiled. "You are truly, gorgeous, my darling." She wiped away my tears and lead me to the living room were, the rest of my family were waiting. I hugged each and everyone of the family members I had not seen since the early 1900s. Dad, Grams and Papa, who were my mom's parents, Grandma and Grandpa, dad's parents, Aunt Julie and Uncle James, dad's twin siblings, Aunt Sarah and Madelyn, mom's older siblings. I hugged Alex while Milly stayed seated in the corner.

"Thank you for protecting, Delia. But I'm sorry you had to die." Milly said heartlessly.

"Would you like to see Cordelia, Mills?" Alex asked and a little bit of a smiled crossed her face as she nodded.

"How is she going to do that?" I asked mom who lead me to the other side of the TV. I pointed to it. "What the hell is that going to do?" I asked.

"You better watch your mouth, Leslie. I know your parents taught you better than that." Grams barked at me.

"Yes grandma." I missed her, but not her proper ways.

Alex turned on the TV and I saw Cordelia crying in Rosalie's arms. But the TV kept cutting in and out. Trying to change the channel. Until it just stopped. I moved in closer to the TV as everyone gasped. "It's me." I whispered. My head was severed and I could see a fire in the distance. Then the TV cut back to Cordelia.

"She needs me..." Milly whined, ignoring that I was just shown on the TV.

"Turn off the TV, Alex." Grandma said. "We don't need to see this now. Leslie, is here." She smiled at me. And I smiled back as genuinely as possible.

"Leslie, I just want to say, you have carried yourself so nicely through the years." Aunt Madelyn said.

"But, that whole episode with Edward was very long lived." Uncle James added.

Aunt Sarah smacked him in the back of the head. "You are just a guy, you wouldn't understand." She turned toward me. "You got your hopeless romantic side from me."

"Sarah, hush." Papa said. "Your taking away your mother's thunder." He laughed. She chased me until her little legs were down to the nub. That's why she's so short." He leaned over to give Grams a kiss as she smacked him playfully.

"Well, I think she and Carter would have been great together." Aunt Julie said. "You know, I was in the same predicament as you. The love of my life was off and married while my best friend waited for me."

"What did you do, Aunt Julie?" I asked smiling. She looked like the girl who would of fallen in love again.

"She slept with every guy in town and drank herself to death." Grandpa said bluntly.

The smile across my face disappeared quickly.

"No, it was the other way around." Dad corrected.

"No, no. She slept with every guy in town, ruined Edgar's marriage, then drank herself to death." Uncle James corrected.

"Geez, you guys. Make me relive it why don't you." Aunt Julie complained.

"We can do that, dear. Alex go to recordings." Grandma said.

"No!" Aunt Julie said quickly.

My family is truly crazy. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it, anything to get away from them.

"Hi." A boy said, from the looks of it he looked like a mail man. "Is there a Miss Leslie Johnson here?" The boy said reading off a paper.

"I'm her. How may I help you?"

"Just sign here please." He handed me the paper and pointed were to sign. The word Summon was at the top of the paper. I signed and gave it back to the boy. "You will be called shortly." and he disappeared

"Who was that, honey" My mom asked.

"Uhm, this boy had me sign a Summon paper. Do you have any idea what I'm being summoned too?" I asked her.

"You going to your killers trial, sweetheart." Dad answered.

"What?" And all of a sudden I was in the court room.

"Miss Johnson, nice to see you again." The judge said. I looked to the right and Evan had no family to defend him. "Miss Johnson, can you please describe your death?"

"I don't remember really. Just that my head was severed." I glanced to my left and there was a whole line of girls beside me.

"Very well. Bring in the person in question." the judge ordered.

Evan stood right were I stood before. He looked horrible. I couldn't help but feel terrible. And poor Carter, he has lost his best friend and his love in the same day. "Fuller, Evan Johnathan. Case 205." the bailiff read off a huge pile of papers. "He has no family members he has spoken to in his time on Earth and 100,567 victim."

"Mr. Fuller." The judge said sternly and loudly. "I'm not going to hold this on longer then it should be. Your case is not good at all." the judge looked toward the girls and I. "Would any of you want to defend Mr. Fuller?" there was a roar of immediate angry no's. "Miss Johnson, you did not answer. Would you or would you not?"

I looked toward Evan who kept his head down. "I would, your honor." I could feel 100,569 pairs of eyes on me, that's including the bailiff and Evan.

"Step forward and plead you defense." the judge sighed. "Make it quick."

I cleared my throat. "Well, your honor, from what I can remember from my destruction, Evan only wanted to rebuild his friendship with my friend Carter. You see, 90 years prior, Carter had.."

"Yes, yes I know your life." the judge interrupted. "Just give me a reason why Mr. Fuller should move on."

"Well, he should move on because he's not a bad guy." there was a roar of arguments beside me.

"Quiet!" the judge said. "You have all had your time to talk."

"As, I was saying, Evan is not a bad guy, he just had his motives turned around. So let him move on, he can finally feel if he does. That would be a greater punishment then sending him back to paradise with no emotions, he has already experienced that on Earth."

"I think you are right, Miss Johnson." the judge banged the gavel. "Mr. Fuller you are moving on. Enjoy all the feelings that come with it."

Now I was back at the house.

"That was very nice of you to defend him, baby girl." mom said kissing my hair.

"You saw that?" I asked and Alex waved the remote. "Ahh."

"She should have been a lawyer. You came from a long line of lawyers, Leslie. It's in your blood." Grandpa said.

"Here we go again." Everyone complained

"What? It's true. Us Johnsons have never lost a case. Back in my day, I was the highest paid lawyer around."

"Yes, dad, we get it." Uncle James said.

"But, us Livings cook a mean potato casserole." Grams said standing up walking toward the kitchen. "Come along now."

I followed right behind her. "Dead people can eat?" I asked and everyone laughed.

"Dead people here do." mom said passing me to help Grams get everything prepared.

"Oh." I feel like such a fish out of water. Food is not appealing to me, I want some blood.

"Sarah and Madelyn, come help momma." Grams called. "Milly you come too. We need to get you active."

Sarah and Madelyn came right along while Milly slowly walked in. She looks insanely depressed and I don't blame her, I'd be too if I were in her position.

"Grams, I just died and can never see my daughter again." She sniffed. "I really don't feel like cooking."

"You'll see Cordelia one day. It's not like she's going to become a vampire." I tried to comfort her.

"She is going to be around the Cullens, who are vampires, who happen to be raising my daughter. It is inevitable that she is going to want to be a vampire, which will make her live forever, hence I'll never see her again. And to add insult to injury, She's going to be calling the blonde one Mommy." She banged her head on the table and started balling.

"Come, Milly." Alex said taking her upstairs.

"I still can't believe how much of a Dad he is." My mom said in awe.

"Yeah, and to want to adopt a girl? I would of pegged Alex and a teach-his-sun-baseball type of guy." Aunt Sarah added. "Not deal-with-my-daughters-hormones."

"He adopted Milly?" I asked.

Aunt Madelyn laughed. "Well, of course. He never slept around, so he couldn't possibly have a child."

Well, that explains why Cordelia is human. My respect for my big brother just increased a little.

"My children have good heads on there shoulders." mom smiled at me.

"They get that from me!" Papa called from the living room and Grams burst out laughing.

"Oh, yes dear! They totally get it from you." everyone joined her laughter. "Leslie, do me a favor and get the casserole dish from under the counter by the fridge." I did as she asked. When I squatted down to get it, my neck started throbbing again.

"Here, Grams." I said in pain.

"Thank you, baby, but what's wrong?"

"My neck is throbbing." I whimpered.

"Let, me see, baby girl." Mom said putting her hand on my neck to pull it away immediately. "Your freezing cold." she said confused.

"Ow." I whispered and looked out the window, it was sunny. "I'll be right back." I said and walked outside. I stood out there for a good 5 minutes and nothing happened. Suddenly the pain stopped and I started to shine. "Mommy!" I yelled. She came rushing toward me. Her jaw practically reaching the floor.

"Adam! Come see this!" She yelled to dad. And he came running

"Should she be shining!" He said shocked.

I said literally freaking out. "I thought I was dead!"

"You are... suppose to be." Alex said running down the stairs in alarm.

"Everyone!" Grandpa called. "Come here."

Everyone ran to the living room and stared at the TV.

"Leslie, your not dead, sweetheart." Uncle James pointed out.

"This is not fair!" Milly screamed.

"She wasn't burned." Grandma said calmly. "She wasn't burned so she's being put back together."

"What am I? A fucking toy!" I looked to Grams who eyed me. "Sorry."

"She can't just go back." Aunt Sarah protested.

"She is." Aunt Madelyn said.

I looked to my mom with scared eyes, "I don't want to go back, Mommy. Don't let me go." I ran to her and dry sobbed into her shoulder. "I want to stay here." I immediately felt like a kid again. I always did this, when I was around 5 or 6, when Mom dropped me off at Grams and Papa's. "Mommy, don't let me go!" She gripped me as tight as she could but, Dad pulled her away from me. She was crying so much. "Mommy!" I yelled. She was getting farther and farther away.

"I love you so much, sweetheart. I'll be watching over you, I promise." Her voice started to fade away.

Suddenly everything went black and I saw a crying 5 year old me in the distance holding Miss Dolly, she was my favorite toy and comfort when I was that age.

I walked to younger me and kneeled down and gave myself a hug. "Leslie." I said to myself.

"You are Leslie, Mommy. I'm Cordelia." The little girl said disappearing.`

What's happening?

I started breathing heavily and a burning set through my whole throat. It was like I was being changed all over again. I felt cold arms around me but no one was there. I screamed as loud as I possibly could and gasped opening my eyes to see...
