A/N: I just read my story again and my word! I have so many mistakes and I'm sorry. Thanks for the good reviews anyway. Sorry it took so long, but I didn't know anyone liked it well it here it goes…

I stared at the crystal clear lake. It surface so clear I could see the stars above. My mind was going a million miles a minute and I felt out of control, one of the things I really hate.

After screaming I had run as fast as I could (which was pretty fast) and ended up here. After sobs with no tears I had gathered up my knees and sat staring at the water. Of course I was thinking.

Here is a little preview of what was running through my mind: My brother's death, red eyes, my appearance, vampires, blood, how different I was, and a horrible wet dog smell. That wasn't even half the things I was thinking of either.

I wanted to cry thinking of my brother. So I stopped thinking of that. Then I moved onto vampirism. First I had red eyes, pale skin, a thirst for blood, powers, (which isn't even normal for vampires, which is freaking' fantastic) super speed, and probably more. Again this was just awesome.

All of the sudden there was someone sitting beside me. I waited not really wanting to speak. The air around me picked up, but I didn't feel any colder. Either way I hugged my knees closer.

"Enjoying the weather?" Ciro asked quietly.

I looked at him and I saw him trying not to smile. "Exactly and I'm wondering when the sun will come out so I can fry and get away from this." I replied bitterly.

He smiled. "Vampires don't burn we sparkle." Greeeaaattt not only will I not burn I get to sparkle I thought sarcastically. "It's kind of cool actually."

"Maybe so," I looked at him and saw a very sad face, "no burning?"

He cracked a tiny smile. "No burning."

We smiled at each other and I felt pretty good. Maybe vampirism isn't so bad especially if I stay with Ciro.

He led me back to the Cullen's house. I was so embarrassed from my earlier screaming that I didn't look at them at first.

"Feeling better," Carlisle asked. I looked up at the concerned face and nodded. He smiled and nodded.

The bronze haired boy stood up and walked toward me, arm outstretched. "Hello my name is Edward. Sorry about earlier." I took his hand and saw him grimace. "You're really strong right now."

"Oh," I said releasing his hand.

"I'm Bella," The brown haired girl said with a small smile.

"Bella," I repeated.

"I'm Alice," The shortest besides the young strange girl named Nessie. I realized she was gone. "I have a feeling that we're going to be great friends." She said laughing at an inside joke.

"Alice," I said nodding.

Finally the blond haired boy came forward and said simply, "I'm Jasper."

I nodded and was about to speak when all of the sudden I heard three pairs of footsteps. I turned to the door to see three more vampires.

The first to come through was a very motherly looking woman. She had caramel colored hair, a round face with dimples, and a slender, but round body. I instantly liked her. Then a male came through the door.

The man had curly brown hair and dimples, but was very formidable looking. By the look of his muscles I would believe he could break a mountain by touching it. Edward's corners of his mouth turned up like he had heard my thought. The brown haired man smiled at me. "Another addition," He asked jokingly.

There were a few chuckles around, but none from the next person that came through the door. She was beautiful and elegant. Normal for a vampire though she seemed to hold a special beauty, her blonde hair flowed in waves as she stopped a few feet in front of me.

"What are you?" Her tone stung me. It was as if I was neither vampire, nor human to her.

"Rose," The man that had come before her said softly. She sniffed and he swung an arm around her shoulder and walked away with her.

The tone of the room dropped and it unnerved me. Here I was intruding on a perfectly balance family. Each loved the other and then two of them loved each other even more. If that makes any sense, I thought frowning. Ciro looked at me, concern clear on his pale face. I looked at a picture on the wall.

"Hi my name is Esme." The motherly woman said. "Do you plan on staying long?" She asked with a smile. There was no hint of impatience or bitterness. There was only motherly concern and maybe a bit of happiness at the thought of another daughter.

I could have cried from the kindness coming from her. "I'm not sure," I kept my voice and face impassive as if it didn't matter.

"Well then you are more than welcome to stay. I'm positive everyone will be happy about your decision if you do." She walked out of the room with Carlisle.

Again the kindness from her touched me deeply. With my red eyes I could surely ruin their location, yet she welcomed me. All of them did, except for the one called Rose.

"Are you staying?" Bella asked.

"I don't know." I answered truthfully.

"You like the cold," A voice chuckled behind me.

I looked back and saw Ciro. My chest tightened at the sight of him, but he was just a friend. Just a friend. "It seemed to clear my mind."

"Oh I see, you need to think."

I raised my eyebrow questioningly. "Didn't I just say that?"

He smiled and if I had a heart it would have stuttered. "I suppose so."

"So how long have you been…"

"A vampire," He concluded. When I nodded he answered. "A couple centuries," He said nonchalantly. He unconsciously shifted toward me. "I lost count."

I gulped at his sudden closeness. "Do you have any special powers?"

He chuckled and I was hit with a warm golden smell. "Kinda. I'm able to know the best decision for anything, but that could be intuition."

I nodded. "Have you- Can I see into your life?" I asked looking down.

He was silent for a long time. "What were you going to say first?" He lifted up my chin. "Was it have you been in love?" I nodded captivated by his golden eyes. "I don't believe in love." He released my chin stood up and walked away.

I didn't have the slightest clue what happened. I sighed. The outside air wasn't helping anymore.
