Next Chap is up enjoy! Oh! and FYI, if you see a word like 'teh' or something - it's suppose to be 'the'. I was either too lazy to change it or just read over it. And before all you Fang-Fans ask me (though I really don't have any room to talk sense I'm one myself and I'm dying to hurry up and get Fang in this story!) No, Fang is NOT in this chapter. But, remember: With everytime I update, the closer we get to Fang!

Alright, now you can read the story.

Chapter 1 -- Max POV

They sky was dark and glistening with stars when I opened my eyes. Lights flashed and there were voices. About three, one I was able to recognize as the officer's.

"What happened?" said a stern, serious voice.

The officer explained, in full detail, of the events that occured starting when he knocked on the door. There was a few moments pause and I assumed that the owner of the stern voice was takng notes.

"Docter?" The first voice said. "What were your observations of Miss ... Maximum?"

"Max." The docter corrected.

"She has many cuts, bruises, and burns." answered a voice that certainly sounded like it belonged to a docter. "The bruises are in the form of a hand that has the exact same shape as Jeb's. The cuts, I can tell, were not made by her. It looks as though someone slashed her. The burns seem to be caused by boiling hot water." There was another brief pause.

"What are your observations of Mr. Jeb?" Teh first voice inquired.

"The COD (Cause Of Death for those of you who don't know what C.O.D. stands for) was mearly blood force trauma. The fall broke his skull pretty bad." said the docter.

"What is your conclusion?" the officer asked after another pause.

"I'd say that we have a case of some pretty bad child abuse."

I quickly pretended to still be out as I hear footsteps coming in my direction.

"When should she be up? the office asked.

I chose at that moment to groan and slowly run my eyes and try to sit up. I blinked as if I was trying to get my eyes to adjust to the light, which, of course, they already were, but I knew I had to be convincing. Jeb had taught me that much, if anything.

"Max?" The docter's voice asked. I looked at him with slightly squinted eys. He was a very young and handsome man with blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. (I know the book doesn't say what color Carlisle's eyes were when he was human, but I'm making it so that it'll work in the story.) He offered his hand to me and I, cautiously, shook it.

"My name's Dr. Carlisle Cullen."

"Good evening, Dr. Cullen. It's a pleasure to meet you." I replied.

"Max?" said the first voice. God, was my name a question tonight or what? I turned my head. This man looked alot like Brass from CSI Las Vegas. (I love that show! I highly recommend watching it sometime)

"Yes?" I replied.

"Do you have any parents?" I supressed a look of depression that threatened to show on my face and shook my head.

"Grandparents?" I shook my head.

"Any living relatives?" i shook my head yet again ... I'm starting to get really dizzy by now.

"Friends that you could live with?" Again, I shook my head.

"Do you go to school?" I nodded.

"Why didn't you call the police?"

I shrugged. "It never occured to me."

"Well, Max, I'm going to need you to follow this young man --" a boy who looked like he was an apprentice stepped foreward. "-- and pack up your belongings into a small bag or suitcase."

I nodded and hopped of the stretcher that I had been laying/sittng on.

"Step exactly where I step." Warned the young man and he led me into the house. "We don't want you to accidentally contaminate any evidence."
