First of I want to personally thank TheGirlWithNoMemory, for the feedback she has given. Go back and re-read, chapter one.

Second and most importantly I want to mention, I do not own anything that is related to the Twilight series be it from the books or the movies.

Chapter 2

The annoying buzzer to her Alarm clock sounded, and Autumn blindly reached behind her with a few miss-hits finally silence the alarm on the five-time. Rolling over, she saw the glowing red time of the numbers that said five-thirty. Autumn stared thoughtfully at the time; Autumn knew it should have gone off at six-thirty instead. She gazed thoughtfully for a time and rolled back over with the blanket over her head to try to sleep a little longer. No matter how much she snuggled into her blanket, she couldn't fall back to sleep. Sighing, pushed the blanket off herself. Autumn sat up in bed and stretch, before standing and making her bed.

She looked around her small bared room in thought. Not much she had just an old dresser and nightstand with a small twin-size bed. The walls were white and the carpet a faded cream color. Almost made you feel like you shouldn't exist in this world and maybe it was supposed to be that way for her. She thought as clicked on the ceiling light and moved to the dresser. She opened the top drawer found most of her underthings and socks have gone the same went for the rest of the drawers including the closet, but not everything was gone. Frowning she pulled out a pair of jeans that were ripped at one knee and a comfortable but bagging tee -shirt that was black with a print of a yellow sunflower on the front. She grabbed a clean pair of bikini underwear that was a navy blue.

Shutting off her bedroom light, she stepped out into the hall. And tipped toed down to the bathroom and shut and locked the door. She stared at her reflection in the body length mirror that was on the door for a time. She frowned she looked nothing like her female cousins that were popular and cheerleaders but were horrible personality-wise at least to her.

She was still flat chest, and only now she noticed hair forming down below and yet her period hadn't started yet. Aunt Aoife had told her that she was a late bloomer and she will develop in time. But it didn't help that she felt like a freak compares to the rest of the girl's in her class. Her hair was a beautiful dark brown that reminded you of being in the woods. When down framing her face, it brought out her forest green eyes more. Her face was beautiful looking almost angelic her aunt always told her, but she didn't like how she looked she felt plain. Her body even more so small and delicate virtually like a boy she thought as a tear slipped down her face.

She brushed it away, angrily and turned from the mirror and stepped into the tub and pulled the curtain close and started the water. She quickly showered and was out, dress and down the stairs all just after six o'clock.

She stepped into the kitchen and saw her aunt at the stove she sat down at the small breakfast table and not say anything. Her aunt moved towards the table, placed the warm bowl of oatmeal in front of her. Autumn saw banana, sugar, and butter on top of it. She stirred it all together in. After taking a few spoonfuls of the cereal.

Her aunt came to the table with a mug of coffee and sat down across from her. She looked at her aunt for a time. she watched as her aunt lifted her eyes from her mug, "Hurry up and eat. There isn't much time before the girls, and your uncle is downstairs, and I want you out on the front steps by the time they get down here."

Autumn swallowed nervously and began to eat again with a slight tremble going through her body. Nearly finished with her cereal, the voice of her aunt drifted into her hearing, "I have packed two bags and one suitcase. They are in my car this morning. I will be taken you to school and dropping you off under the guise that I told my husband that you had things to deliver to the theater Art classroom. I went ahead, bought you a new coat to wear today. Luckily it came in time. It is a black lightweight Columbia raincoat with a hood. You will need it."

Autumn stared at her aunt in shock and not really understanding why she would buy her something brand new, not once have they done so until now. She pushed away from the table blindly and back into the wall, shaking her head in denial.

Aoife got up slowly from her chair and went over to her niece and grabbed hold of her hands with tears pricking at her eyes. "I know I haven't done fully right by you and trying to raise you and for that I am sorry. What I am doing is my way and hoping that I can make it up to you. I know it will not be enough and it will never be. And what care you had gotten from me wasn't right Autumn Moon."

Aoife watched as Autumn opened her eyes and she motioned to Autumn towards the sink, and handed her toothbrush and toothpaste to her and motioned her to hurry and brushed her teeth which the girl did. Turning, she grabbed a small wallet that was black from the counter and handed it to her niece.

She watched as her niece opened the wallet and saw a new state id inside of it, with her picture and traced it carefully.

"I went ahead and changed your name from Autumn Moon o'Laighin to Autumn Moon Swan. That will be the one who sired you last name."

Her nieces head shot up and met her eyes again before Aoife could continue sounds of voices and steps was heard on the stairs along with laughter. She motioned Autumn outside quickly, as soon as she saw the door shut turned and faced her daughters.

"Morning dears. Have a seat I have breakfast for you both and for your father." She served them both the hot cereal and watch her daughters eat with a fond smile on her face that also seemed kind of sad. She felt her husband place a kiss on her head and turned into his embrace. He was a good man she knew, but what he wanted to do was wrong. Times have been hard on this family in the past few years, and that worry had taken its toll on this proud man to the point that she couldn't let him go down the road that he wanted. It is why she was sending her niece away.

She sat the newspaper, coffee and toast down for him. Turned and grabbed her keys and purse but paused at the door and turning slightly faced her family at the question, "You are not having the morning meal with us?"

"No, my dear. I have an extra stop to make this morning or did you forget want I said last night."

"No, my wife, we haven't seen much of each in the past few weeks with us both working late hours."

"The girl is going with me this morning. She will take the boxes to the theater arts room." She leaned in and brushed her lips against her husbands. "Perhaps we can go on a date and have some later this weekend, just the two of us."

He pulled his wife into his lap and nuzzled into her neck and said husky, "I like that thought."

"Oh, please!" said their girls together.

That caused the two parents to laugh. Aoife stood from her husband's lap, and with a slight caress on his cheek, she moved to her girls and kissed them on the head before heading out the door.

She ushered her niece quickly into the car and pulled out of the driveway.
