One red and one blue eye stared up in to seven pairs of yellow ones.

There was a gasp. Silence then a snarl.

Before anyone could do anything to stop him, Edward lunged at me. His teeth were on my throat in an instant, their sharp points beginning to dig into my skin as he snarled fiercely. In the next second Jasper, and the other blond male, were pulling Edward off me and restraining him on the other side of the room. Edward continued to snarl and I snarled right back at him.

I've gone through hell today, and if he thinks I'm just going to stand here, well hang here I guess, and take it then he had another thing coming!

The blond, who was holding Edward, was trying to calm us down and as soon as I made eye contact with Jasper I felt calm. I fell limp in Emmett's arms with a stupid smile on my face. I hadn't felt like this in a long time, and it felt nice. Though I'm not sure why I would be feeling calm in a house full of vampire's that wanted to kill me. I took the moment to find all the escape exits in the house, windows by the door, the door itself, and the glass walls in the back of the house.

"What is your name, child?" The blond male asked. I didn't answer him, maybe if I don't tell them anything then maybe they'll let me go… probably not, but not talking to anyone and staying out of the way was how I managed to survive in Riley's army.

I just look intently at him, watching as he squirmed under my gaze the same way Riley had. I seemed to have that effect on people; they look into my eyes and get lost even as a human I could do that.

After a moment his eyes glazed over and I was amazed at the information that seemed to explode from his mind and into mine. His name was Carlisle; he was the head of this coven. He worked in a hospital because he enjoyed saving human lives and not taking them. He turned Edward, who was dying from Spanish influenza; then Esme, who tried to kill herself; and Rosalie, who was left for dead by her fiancé; and then Emmett, who was mauled by a bear… There was more but it seemed to be blacked out from his mind.

Forgotten memories.

I concentrated a bit harder and the hazy wall disappeared. Carlisle had a father, who was a priest, he was sent out to hunt vampires! The idea that a human could hurt us was laughable! Carlisle lead his men to where he found the coven's nest, when one came out they chased it. Carlisle was faster than the others and the vampire attacked him, and he was turned… I looked in deeper, afraid that this was my only chance to see in a 300 year old mind. I saw Carlisle as a little boy trotting along after his father down the busy streets of London. There was a plethora of memories with Carlisle and his father in church… There was a low thud and I was ripped back to reality.

Carlisle had collapsed to the floor. I looked away and Carlisle gasped for air the second I did. Immediately someone was there helping him up. He looked at me dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry." I muttered quickly. "I can't control that yet."

"Of course, I understand." He said gently, you could tell he was still freaked out. "Your only a newborn, and no one's thought you anything." when I didn't look at him or acknowledge what he said he continued. "Well I'm Carlisle and this is my family, as you already know." He made a sweeping motion over the small crowd of people. "Can I ask what you're doing here?"

I was tempted to say "no", but I decided it wouldn't help the "staying alive" plan. But if I told them they might just kill me since I was created to kill them! Or they might send me back and Riley would kill me!

"I can't tell you that." I decided with.

"Why not!" Edward snarled. I flinched. Why can't Imake anyone flinch like that!

"I'm not telling you anything!" I snarled back at him. Edward roared in anger and began struggling to be free of his captures again as I did the same. Someone behind me sighed.

"Edward, stop." I heard Jasper say. Edward stopped. "She'll tell you anything you want to know if you ask the right way." after that I heard the familiar sound of wood brushing satin and I swore that if I get out of this alive, I was going to kill Jasper.

In the corner of my eye I was the short pixie girl from the vision I saw from Jasper. She tensed when Jasper pulled out, could only be my precious violin and handed it to Carlisle. Jasper then went back to restraining Edward. Alice slumped on the couch she was sitting on and everyone froze as they waited for her to come back to earth, she was having a vision. Jasper let go of Edward and was at the girls' side in a heartbeat. Her eyes were glazed over for about a minute before she came back to reality.

"What is it Alice, what did you see?" Jasper asked still holding her protectively.

"Carlisle put Gwen's violin back in its case, she's going to be part of our family I don't want to get off to a bad start!" The tiny vampire squealed. Everyone looked at me then back at Alice.

"What?" Edward and I both yelled at the same time. He glared at me before he continued. "She was in her room Alice! In her room, she could have been waiting, she could have killed her!"

"Edward we went over this." Rosalie sighed. "Alice would have seen that."

"I wouldn't trust her visions any more Rosalie!" Edward spat. "She let this little monster slip her watch!" He glared at me. "Who knows how many other things she's screwed up already!" he snarled.

"Leave her alone Edward. You gave her too many things to watch out for. There's no way she could have kept tabs on all of them." Jasper said calmly. "And if you were so concerned about Bella's safety you shouldn't have left her alone in the first place." He ended bitterly.

Edward snarled and sank into a crouch… This guy is really unstable. I thought. His head whipped around to me and shifted his weight so he was prepared to pounce on me. Oh, bring it pretty boy! I thought.

"That's enough Edward." the soft voice from before- Esme I think- scolded. "You don't treat your guest like that, let alone, you brother." She sounded like a mother! She turned to Emmett. "Emmett put her down! That's no way to handle a lady, especially your little sister!"

I've been here ten minutes! How the hell did I become part of this coven? They were all on something… animal blood must fuck up the brain.

Emmett quickly put me down but he didn't move farther than a short lunge from me. Esme looked down at me, I instinctively sized her up and started running fight plans through my head in case she attacked.

"Now what's your name dear?" She asked sweetly.

"Gwen" I answered automatically, not really thinking about it.

Esme smiled at me, I know it was a sweet smile but still it creped me out. It looked like the smile Victor wore, I didn't like it.

"Now will you please tell us who made you?" She asked. That seemed like an odd question to ask.

"My brother." I felt a knot in my throat at the thought of Riley.

"Why would he do that?" She sounded curious now, but there was an edge to her tone that sounded like disgust.

"He had to." I quickly defended, for some reason I still felt the need to defend Riley.

"Why." This time Jasper asked. I was quick to defend him again realizing that they were ganging up on me.

"She made him do it!" My voice was rising, like a child trying to convince their parents they didn't do something.

"Who's 'she'" Edward asked confused now.

So many questions were being fired at me one after the other that I involuntarily blurted out the name I was never supposed to know.

"Victoria."

Everyone hissed at the name. I tensed. Don't kill the messenger, I thought.

"How do you know that name?" Edward snarled taking a step closer to me. Emmett moved to block me from Edwards gaze. I started to breath hard; I hated attention and right know I had the full attention of seven vampires.

"She turned Riley, and he killed Brooke and turned me and most of the others, and- and."

I started to hyperventilate as my brain decided it wasn't getting enough un-needed oxygen; this usual happens when I speak to more than four people at a time, glad to see that didn't change like everything else about me… I soon found myself in Esmes' arms as she calmed me down. I concentrated on fighting the instinct that told me to rip her arms off of me.

"Oh, it's ok dear." She soothed me.

"You said 'the others'." Carlisle confirmed; I nodded. "Who are the others?"

"Vic- she's making an army." I whispered, still trying not to break out of Esme's warm embrace. I knew that would hurt her. "She wants you all dead so we can have the towns' blood to ourselves." Everyone tensed.

Edward dispersed quickly though the door and I learned later that he had ran to Bella's house the second the words left my mouth. Carlisle looked at Jasper and they all exchanged a look. He sighed.

"You'll stay with us." Carlisle decided. ", as Alice said. We'll teach you how to control you gift and your blood lust, then after all this is cleared up you can decide for yourself if you want to stay or not. While you're here you must live as we do and feed on the blood of animals. If you cannot do that or simple don't want to, we will destroy you in order to keep this town safe. Do we have an understanding?"

"Yes sir." I muttered. Alice shrieked and pulled me out of Esme's arms. Jasper was right behind her, in case I decided to hurt her I guess.

"Oh, we're going to be best friends I just know it!" Never bet against Alice, was a phrase that I saw in Carlisle's head several times.

I let Alice lead, drag, me up stairs and to a door, after I was sure she wasn't going to kill me. She spun around I tensed and so did Jasper, who had followed us up.

"You get to stay out here Jasper. I get to play with her first." She made a face like a child.

"Alice, she's not a toy." Jasper said sternly. "She's a newborn and she's very dangerous!"

"I'm right here." I said waving my hand, he ignored me.

Alice sighed, then closed her eyes. She opened them a few seconds later.

"See Jasper, she's not going to hurt me, or anyone." Jasper glared at me for a few minuet then his shoulders slumped in defeat. He waved us on and walked down the hall.

Alice smiled.

"First things first, you need to wash up and change clothes. You look about my size, the pants may be a little short," She said as she yanked me though her room and into her closet. "This is just temporary, as soon as you can be around humans we'll go shopping!" I felt a peg of fear. By the looks of this closet Alice liked to shop. "Here's a towel the bathrooms over there." She shoved a towel in my arms and pushed me in the direction of the bathroom. "Well go on." She said when I didn't move.

The bathroom was huge, that's about all you can say about it. Instead of the back wall being made of glass it was made of mirrors. I gasped and dropped the towel. Was that me?

My hair was longer, with perfect winding curls that were occasionally crusted in dry blood. One eye was scarlet, like hell fire, and the over was a sharp ice blue that made me want to look away. Every other inch of my skin had someone's teeth marks imbedded in it. Worst of all I was filthy, covered in grim and old blood.

I quickly turned on the shower and dumped in with my clothes on. I took the wet fabric off and scrubbed furiously at my skin. My skin should have been raw from how hard a scrubbed, but when I got out it was the same hard unchanging stone.

Someone knocked on the door timidly, must be Alice. Rosalie walked in…
