AN: No more school! You can be expecting quicker updates until June 20th which is when I go to Florida for about a month. While I'm there I will not have access to a computer, so there will be no updates between June 20th and somewhere in July. Anyways, this is turning into a really long AN so I think that I'll just shut up and type before something comes up.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea.

Chapter 2:

As I walked into the orphanage, already soaking wet, a woman ran up to me. She started babbling about how I must be cold. She just wouldn't shut up. I kept my mouth shut and my eyes down. She led me down some hallways after grabbing a spare blanket from a closet.

She stopped outside of a long room. Inside of it, there were at least 30 kids sitting at long tables that ran along the sides of the room. There were also a few adults sitting in the front of the room. The lady who had found me at the door ushered me to a seat near the front of the room. Another woman brought me a bowl of soup.

It looked absolutely disgusting, but I was hungry so I ate it anyways. I could tell right now that whatever time I spent here would not be great.

"Sweetie, what's your name?" The oldest of them asked me.

Crud, I needed a name. "Isabella Smith." The last name was common enough, and I didn't want to have to adjust to a new first name that I wouldn't respond to.

"Where are your parents?"

Great, now I have to come up with a story good enough for them to stop questioning me. Hm… "They died in a car crash."

Ok, not the best story. But it would have to do. I should probably add some more to the story. "They died when I was eight. My aunt took me in, but she finally got tired of trying to get me to talk and be normal again. But I was in the crash too…" At this point I started crying. I guess it was a good thing that I could cry on a whim.

They all tried to shush me and I did quiet down after about a minute. I wiped away my salty tears. My soup finished, one of the group called over a girl named Anna. She was a red-haired girl with bright green eyes and a lot of freckles dotting her face.

"Anna, could you please show Isabella to the spare room on the third floor? The one that Rachel used to be in?"

"Of course Miss Hofel. Hi Isabella, I'm Anna. Come with me and I'll show you to your room." I followed her, still in my wet clothes and dragging the damp blanket. She took me up a few flights of stairs before 

stopping outside of a door. Reaching out, she turned the knob and pulled it open. It was a large room with 5 beds in it. None of them were occupied.

"I'm sorry that you'll be staying in a room by yourself. There's an even number of girls right now so this room wasn't being used. If you want I can move up here with you," she offered.

"No, it's ok. I like to be by myself every once in a while." After showing me where the bathroom was, she went downstairs to find me a spare pair of clothes. I caught sight of the mirror that was hanging on one wall in the room. I walked over to it, shocked at the person that I was seeing. My eyes were a startling shade of blue, not unlike my father Charlie's. My hair however threw my off completely. It was a light shade of blonde and was about waist length.

As if convincing Edward wouldn't be hard enough! Now I had to convince him while I looked nothing like my old self. I returned to where I had been standing just as Anna came back through the door. She had a dress and a pair of jeans with a plain white t-shirt.

"These are the things that don't fit the rest of the girls anymore. They should fit you just fine though." I mumbled a thanks before grabbing the clothes and walking into the bathroom. I didn't really want to wear the jeans to bed because it would be uncomfortable. So instead I put on the well worn dress after taking a quick shower to warm myself up. It was a plain blue dress that went to my ankles and was the kind of dress that people wore every day.

I hung my clothes by the window before climbing into the closest bed. The task that I had taken on by returning would be much harder than I thought. I wouldn't be able to be legally of age until I was 18, but I had to be changed by then. And to top it all off I would have to find the Cullens. There was no way that they were going to be able to stay in Forks for 8 more years. But that would have to be the first place that I checked as soon as I was able to get away.

I would probably have to be 16 before I could take off. But in order to take off I would need a car. Oh well, I still have 6 more years to figure this out. Until then all I can do is save up money and try to make it safely to the age of 16. My grandmother had warned me that it would be difficult, and that there was no way to know where my life would take me until I was 18. I could only hope that it led me straight to Edward and his family.

AN: So there is the second chapter of Last Chance. I'm making this up as I go along. I've now spent more than half an hour typing, so I think that I should probably get offline. Plez review. The more reviews I get, the faster I update!
