I do not own any twilight characters

Chapter One

As the tired cab driver pulled into the driveway of the mysterious Cullen house her heart stopped. The house was three stories and one wall was completely glass, she could see lights on in some of the rooms and figured it was now or never. She slipped the driver a few hundreds and woke Allen up before stepping out into the rain. Her dress was extremely uncomfortable but changing in the backseat of a cab with a creepy driver was just not an option.

Ash took a deep breath before starting her journey up to the house, trying to think of what to say to whoever opened the door.

'Hey I need your help from two vampires who just killed a lot of people like me. May I come in?' But that just seemed too forward to her so she decided to just start with the formal hellos and try to go from there. But when she hit the first step that smell came back. She wanted to cry, scared she was going to be killed before she even got a chance to be safe again. Ash raced up the stairs and banged on the door, not wanting to die on the steps of such a nice house. In a flash the door was open and revealed a pale man with slicked back blonde hair and bright golden eyes, the smell was flowing off of him in waves and that terrified her.

Did those men lead her straight to her death? Were they really not saving her?

The terrified girl started to back away, dropping Allens leash as she did so. If she had to run she knew he would get away faster and bark for help. But then again running wouldn't do her any good, being only half vampire means she only has half of the abilities. Hearing, seeing and smelling was something she was good at. But running…well she knew she could only get so far.

"Miss?" His voice was like velvet as he questioned what she was doing here at this time of night and in a storm. When she didn't answer he took a step towards her which made me instantly take a step back.

"Nessie please come here," he said while still looking at the girl in front of him. He could see what she was. Her eye gave her away to him the moment he looked at her, that changing red to gold meant that she was a hybrid who was starting to drink animals when need be.

Ash kept trying to back away but every time she did the man would just step closer. After one more step she just stopped and stared, if was going to die she might as well die with some dignity. The rain was once more pelting her since she stepped at the last step, but then again she really wasn't focusing on that. Instead it was the girl that was coming out of the house.

A beautiful girl with pale smooth skin and long silky auburn hair. She was tall and slim with deep brown eyes. But there was something about her. Something she couldn't see but she could smell and hear.

She was a hybrid of sorts. The stone skin and impossibly perfect looks gave that away. But instead of smelling human like the two men at the door did, she smelt like a vampire and a woody scent was also coming from her.

Such like a werewolf.

As Ash kept staring she felt herself come back up the steps and drop her bag on the ground. She wiped away the water on her face and blinked rapidly.

"Your one too…" she whispered staring at the girl who she assumed was Nessie. Nessie was mentioned in the letter the men gave her but they said nothing about what type of hybrid she was. Only that her and her family could help me.

"Come inside please," Nessie more stated then asked as she picked up the bag on the floor and leash with Allen still attached. The blonde vampire gave her a small smile before letting her walk before him and get into the nice dry house.

She made puddles on the nice shiny white tile and instantly felt bad about it.

"Come, come," the girl was snapped out of her guilty thoughts as Nessie and the blonde man led her to a kitchen that looked like something straight out of an Ikea catalog.

"You must be thirsty," the blonde man said again before giving Ash a Coke. She sipped it slowly not knowing what to say just yet. The note was in her bag but she didn't need to hand it to them. She knew it by heart. When she finally opened her month the man held up his hand.

"Before you say anything please let myself and everyone introduce themselves. It's been a while since we have had company." He didn't even have to say any names before 8 others joined. All rolling a sickly sweet smell off of them except one, the big and strong looking tan man in the back.

A werewolf.

"My name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen and this is my family." He ran down the bunch, saying everyone names like he was so proud and loved them all.

Esme was his wife. She was a little plump but still beautiful and charming. Ash was reminded a lot of her mother while looking at that women. Esme held such love and care in her eyes that it was hard to believe she ever killed anything.

Edward was one of his 'sons'. His gold like hair reflected in the light above us and looked like copper strikes ran through it. The look on his face showed that he was confused and irritated at something but she didn't know what. Did she interrupt his night somehow?

Bella was a 'daughter in-law'. She looked meek but strong at the same time. Her eyes were just like my one eye. Still slowly changing meaning one point she slipped up too.

Jasper was another 'son'. Ash could tell he was the quiet one of the group, the thinker. His arm was wrapped around the petite brunette next to him.

Alice. Alice was one of the 'daughters'. She had short chocolate hair that shaped her face wonderfully. The knowing smile on her face told Ash that she was expecting her in some way.

Emment was the biggest 'son'. He looked like a giant teddy bear despite his 'I'm so serious' face he was trying to put on.

Rosalie was the last 'daughter'. Beautiful was the only word Ash could think of. Impossible beauty was something vampires were known for but her…no she must have been a killer in her old life too.

Jacob. The werewolf. Well he was Nessies boyfriend and was an alpha of some pack. She could smell the others on him, it was faint but there still.

Once everyone was done they all looked at her and waited. Ash through up her long raven colored hair in a bun before beginning her story.
