The Vampire walked past the windows of the food restaurant. He was a male, about average height, with golden hair that was splayed all over the place. With him was a girl, who reminded me of a pixie… They seemed to be together…

I watched them with curious eyes, wanting to almost rush out there and ask them all the questions I've ever had.

I honestly considered it… and rose from my table.

Alice's POV

Jasper and I were walking through downtown Seattle, for I had managed to finally drag him along on a shopping trip with me since Bella wouldn't go, when I suddenly had a vision… of nothing. The future was blank, like when I tried to see Renesmee or one of the stupid werewolves…

But what did it mean?

I'd froze when I'd seen the vision and Jasper instantly reacted. He stepped in front of me and put his hands on my shoulder. "Alice, what is it?" he asked in a low voice.

"I can't see anything," I whispered.

Jasper sounded confused (and concerned). "Like with Renesmee?"

I nodded. "Exactly like that, or like with the wolves…" I replied in a soft voice. "But they're nowhere near for heaven's sake!" I exclaimed, still keeping my voice low as I did.

My vision went away, my normal sight coming back just as a girl stepped out of the restaurant. She was looking at us curiously.

Jasper's head whipped around when he noticed me looking past him. He pulled me closer as he looked at the girl. She appeared to be harmless… maybe lost even, but he saw her as a threat.

The girl came closer to us, a bit or nervousness in her eyes. I shrugged off Jasper's protective arm and took a step towards her. Maybe she WAS lost.

"Yes, can we help you?" I asked her in the best caring voice I could, trying not to scare her.

She paused, the confusion growing in her eyes as she thought.

K POV

I didn't know what to say to her, how to start, but I knew I had to ask soon… I felt that if I didn't that the male would whisk the kind girl away before I could ask my questions.

I could now tell that both of these people were vampires… They had felt so strong before because I was reading them both at once… but now I could feel a different… aurora… coming out of each of them, separately…. It was a weird feeling, but I pushed it away as I decided to ask my question.

"Look," I said in a low, swift voice, "I know you're vampires… and I am too… but I have some questions…" The female's face became shocked and I spoke more quickly. "Well, see I can age… and I can eat human food… I don't know why but –"

The girl cut in. "How old are you? Do you have a family?" her voice was only concerned.

"I'm 12… I think… and I raised myself… I never met my parents… or creators… or whatever…" I explained.

The girl's eyes remained wide as she glanced back the man. "Should we take her to Carlisle?" she asked in a lower tone. "He'd be interested in this."

The man thought about it then nodded.

I became nervous, what were they talking about? I only had questions; I didn't want to talk with this … Carlisle person. I took a step back as the girl turned back to face me.

She could tell that I was about to leave, because, just then, she said (with a gentle smile on her face). "We can help you, and answer all your questions at the same time… My name is Alice by the way." Alice held out her hand.

I hesitated, then took an uneasy step forward and shook it. "I'm Krystle…" I whispered.

Alice smiled at me, then gestured towards the male. "That's Jasper."

Jasper nodded once at me and I nodded slightly back.

"Who's' Carlisle?" I asked suddenly, nervous.

Alice continued to smile warmly at me. "He's our… father, so to speak. We live with him in our coven. He's the kindest vampire I've ever met, trust me, you'll like him," she told me.

I thought about it a moment, then decided to trust her. "Okay," I whispered, "I'll come with you."

Alice now beamed. "Good," she said happily, then stepped back and took Jasper's hand. "We'll go back to the car and drive you there," she said, and then turned around with Jasper and began to head in the other direction.

I quickly jogged up behind them and stayed right behind them until we got to a Yellow Porsche.

Alice beamed at my shocked, yet obviously envious, expression. "You'll have to squeeze in back, unless we make Jasper run the whole way." She turned her beam to Jasper who just shook his head, but a smile was playing on the corner of his lips.

I shook my head, uneasy still. "I can sit in back," I whispered.

Alice's smile disappeared, upset by my lack of trust. But, after shaking her head, she got in the car.

Jasper moved his seat up for me and I scrambled in back. I sat parallel to the back of the seat as Jasper moved his seat back in place and climbed into the vehicle just as Alice started it up.

I sat silent as the car flew down the road. We were easily going 120 mph… but I wasn't afraid. I knew Alice could process all the cars and turns just fine, even at the speed. Also, I knew that if we DID crash that we would survive… even if the car didn't.

We drove out of Seattle and through many miles of woods before flying into a small town. I caught a glimpse of the sign as we entered it.

"Welcome to Forks…" I muttered under my breath as the town continued to fly by. "What kind of town is named after silver-ware?" I thought to myself.

Just as quickly as we came into the town, we left it. We were soon flying through the woods again.

I looked out the window at the clouds looming overhead. I was always grateful for them, for I'd discovered, when I was 2 in human years, that I… glowed… in the sunlight. After that, I'd ran away to the Olympic Peninsula, where it was almost always cloudy. (I'd originally lived in Missouri).

I was just beginning to wonder how far we would be going when Alice suddenly turned the car down a gravel road that led into the woods.

That's when my… feeling… came back. There were vampire's ahead, and a lot of them… as well as something… or someone else, some other type of powerful creature, which I couldn't quite identify…

What had I gotten myself into?

S POV

I ran through the woods freely, free of any orders or instructions… at the moment. Quil and Embry had taken off to go see a movie and Leah had finally come around, so now it was just us in the woods.

"So, you asked them about the article?" Leah thought, a bit of surprise in her mind.

"Yeah, I was curious…" I replied in pathetic defense. What was so terrible about asking a question? He acted as though I'd just confessed committing a murder.

Leah rolled her eyes in her head. She was farther from the house then I was, jogging closer to the treaty line, where as I was near the creek… This is why I heard the commotion inside before she did.

"What's going on?" I wondered "out-loud" and ventured nearer to the house.

"Seth…" Leah warned, uneasy about the unusual racket.

"I'll be fine," I reassured her. Then, before she could say anymore, I shifted.

K POV

Alice led me inside after parking her car in a garage. I could hear voice's talking from inside, and the tingling was getting stronger. I was instantly uneasy, but I was beginning to trust Alice so I allowed her to lead me inside, Jasper was right next to us the whole time.

Alice opened the door and stepped into the house before me. "We're home," she announced in a sing-songy voice, though it seemed that everyone who was in the house was in the front room and obviously knew this.

Jasper stood behind me as I took a tentative step inside the building, glancing around anxiously. Everyone was looking at me.

"Alice, who is this?" a man with golden blonde hair asked. He reminded me of pictures I'd seen of Zeus…

"Her name is Krystle," Alice informed them all.

A man with bronze-ish red hair spoke, "They found her in Seattle, while they were out shopping…" He paused, then glanced back at Alice.

"She stopped us outside a Pizza Hut… She had some questions to ask us," Alice began to explain. All eyes were still on me, I shifted my weight from foot to foot (though I didn't need to) uncomfortably.

"She's like Renesmee," Alice finally finished, deciding not to explain any further. But, instantly, everyone seemed to understand something.

All eyes that were on me widened and I shrunk back towards the door, ready to bolt in a second. I was lost on what they were talking about. Who was this Renesmee? And where was the man that I was supposed to talk to… Carlisle? I couldn't believe I'd even come… What if they wanted to kill me?

I took another step towards the door when a very kind-looking lady took a step towards me. She'd been standing by the golden-looking-Zeus before. She extended one hand to me.

"Sweetie, it's okay," she soothed in a sweet voice and I instantly trusted her. She sounded so caring that I simply couldn't NOT trust her…

But my head was still buzzing.

The bronze-ish red haired man squinted his eyes suddenly, looking confused or… fascinated, but he held his tongue, keeping whatever it was that he was thinking about in his head.

"We won't hurt you," the sweet lady continued, "We want to help you."

"Help me with what?" My voice shot up an octave, but when Jasper gave me a look (along with a few others in the room… like the big man standing near the stairs) I lowered my voice. "I only had a few questions…. I don't understand what I am…" my voice was barely a whisper as I admitted this.

The sweet lady was about to speak when Jasper suddenly stiffened, but only a tiny bit, barely enough that I almost didn't notice it.

I heard a rustling in the trees behind me.

The buzzing grew and I placed both my hands to my head, groaning a bit, closing my eyes.

"What's going on?" a voice asked from behind me. His voice pulled me out of the buzzing sound that was filling my head and made me turn to see who had spoke.

When I saw him, and him me, my life changed.
