Carlisle stared up at the young girl in wonder. Could this really be his little girl. Could this really be his Selene. After staring into her eyes for a while he spoke to her.

"Selene?" he questioned. "Is that really you?"

Selene began to cry.

"Yes, daddy it really is me"

At her words she through herself at him. Engulfing him in a hug.

The feminine voice spoke up again.

"Could someone please explain what is going on?"

Selene spoke quietly at first but as the story progressed she got more confident with her words.

The night we had to leave the sky was gray with signs of a storm. My father said that me and my mother had to leave because tonight was a big night for him and he didn't want us to get hurt in the cross fire. He was always talking crazy about vampires and I didn't believe him until many years later.

I had just turned eleven when I came unto my first vampire. I had saw it from afar as it attacked a village. My mother tried her hardest to keep me sheltered after that, but I wanted to fight the very creatures who killed my father. Even at the age of eleven I was quite tough. When she realized that her attempts to keep me home wouldn't work she sent me to live in the Amazon with some relatives that she had. She believed that by sending me there she could get me away from the vampires. Little did she know how wrong she was.

It had only been a matter of weeks before I was able to sneak out of my new home. The people that my mom had sent me to live with weren't the brightest. I ran as fast as I could through the jungle, knowing that I had to find civilization in order to find vampires. I had only been running for thirty minutes when I had stopped at a fresh water creek for rest. As I sat resting I herd a rustle in the bushes. I knew that I shouldn't have gotten closer but I had a gut feeling that I should.

As I opened the bushes I discovered a small infant covered in blood. I felt a ping in my heart as I brought it closer to me. Once it got near my flesh it started to bit at me. It was at that moment that I realized it was a baby vampire. I also knew that even if I wanted to I really could bring my self to kill it. She looked to innocent and even though she lived on blood I couldn't let harm come to her.

I stayed in the forest protecting the child until she was full grown. I was only sixteen now and she looked to be older than me. I had always trusted her with my life but it turned out I trusted her to much. While asleep one night she decided my fate without permission. I spent the next three nights in pain hating who I was becoming. Once I came to I ran from her, I ran until I was in the Americas. I hide myself in side a tree and laid my head down, wishing to never wake up.

"When I woke up I was in a forest and ran into a very strange guy. Then I ran into that one in the comer and then I was here"

You could tell by her voice that she was confused by the ending of her story.

She then looked up at her father. "Why did I sleep all those years"

"I don't know honey, I just don't know."
