AN: THANKS YALL WHO REVIEWED! I REALLY COULD USE THEM BECAUSE I'M REALLY HAVING DOUBTS ABOUT THIS STORY...I'M THINKING ABOUT DISCONTINUEING IT...

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT CHARACTER OR ANY SONG THAT IS IN THIS STORY...I ONLY OWN AMELIA

I woke up to my cell phone playing "Backroads Barbie" by Dolly Parton, one of my favorite singers. I yawned as I sat up in the giant bed and stretched, reaching for my phone out of my dress. One New Text Message.

I slid my phone open to see it was from Becky, one of my best friends. Becky's like the sister I never had but always wanted. She was changed when she was nineteen and is one of the most prettiest girls I've ever met. She's got black hair that goes an inch below her shoulders, which is always in a pony tail, dark skin, and has the whole 'Don't mess with me' attitude. She's one of the toughest chick vampires I've ever met.

Where the heck are you!? I sighed as I read her message and texted her back, I had to escape! I couldn't stand it any longer!

It wasn't a whole minute before she texted me back. Girl, I get that. I just want to make sure you're safe. Are you safe?

I looked around the room I was in. It was decorated in a cream white color with light blue stripes going down the walls. There was a matching ocean blue couch infront of a big, open window with a side table beside it. Across the room was an office desk with a laptop and bright, colorful paintings. I looked at the bed I was laying on. It was a king sized bed with a sky blue bedspreads and white pillows. There was a canopy above me that was a the same blue as the sheets. A soft wooden dresser the length of the bed was pressed against one side of the wall. Above it hung the biggest plasma screen TV I'd ever seen.

I'm more than fine girl. I found my bro. I sent her before getting up. I glanced down at my dirty, bare feet and wrinkled dress and sighed. I'd have to see about taking a shower in a second. I smoothed out my dress as best as I could before heading out the room and into a narrow hallway with beautiful wood floors. Man, these people must be rich or something!

I could hear Emmett's laughter before I even made it to the stair case. I couldn't help but giggle at him. He had the funniest laugh I've ever heard!

All eyes were on me as I made my way down the stairs and into the living room.

"Hey Amelia!" Alice came up to me with a huge grin on her face before hugging me tightly. I giggled a little, noticing how much taller I was then her for the first time. She barely came up to my chin!

"Hello." I smiled back at her as she released me.

"Good morninging sleeping beauty!" Emmett laughed as he greeted me, causing Rosalie next to him to glare. I take it the pretty blond and him are together.

"Morning." I smiled back at everyone. Carlisle and Esme were sitting on a love seat, Bella and Edward were playing on the floor with their daughter, Emmett and Rosalie were on the couch, and Alice and Jasper were leaning against the wall.

Jasper came up to me and greeted me similar to Alice, except when he pulled away he left one of his arms around my shoulders. Just then my phone rang again and I popped it out, knowing who it was.

What do you mean you found your bro? Answers girl! I want answers! I laughed quietly to myself and rolled my eyes before texting, Whoa girl slow down. I'll tell you everything but how about later? I promise I'll text you back ASAP!

I put my phone away before looking up to see everyone smiling at me. "So?"

"What do you want to do today?" Bella asked everyone as Nessie worked on her lego house. Goodness, she's so adorable!

Sensing someone was looking at her, Nessie turned to smile at me. "Hi!"

I giggled at her joyful appearence. "Hey there."

She got up and walked over to me, stretching her hands to indicate she wanted me to hold her. I gladly grabbed her and placed her on my hip as she placed her hand to my cheek. Suddenly I saw what she was thinking. I saw everyone laughing and smiling and I heard them speaking of me. They were saying how happy they were Jasper had found me and were hoping I would stay and live with them.

Thank goodness I couldn't cry or I probably would have been. They wanted me to stay? Why? I, I couldn't. They're too nice and I don't want to hurt them. I can't let them get involved with me or else they could get hurt...or worse. Jasper pushed me to his side and that's when I remembered he could feel what I'm feeling. That's just great.

"What's wrong Amelia?" He asked me, concern dripping all over his words. I could feel Edward's gaze as well and knew he had read my thoughts.

"Uh nothing." I lied casually but I knew he saw right through it. He always did.

Just like I exspected, his grip tightened on me. I placed Renesmee down so she wouldn't get crushed as well but I really shouldn't have. With both my arms free now, Jasper turned me so that I was infront of him and had to look him in the eyes. I could feel myself starting to relax under his intense look and knew it was because of his gift. I was also feeling very...talkative. Darn him!

"Now tell me, Mimi. What's bothering you?" He asked calmly as he held both my forearms tightly.

I had to give in. "Renesmee showed me a vision of y'all talking about asking me to stay."

He looked a little taken back by this. "And you don't like that idea?"

I bit my lip and tried to look away but Jasper took one of his hands, forcing my chin up lightly. I looked deep into his vampire eyes and could see he was worried, sad, and confused. I didn't want to hurt him but I would either way. I'm just not good for anyone.

"I, I wish I could but I can't." I tried to explain.

"Amelia." I looked over to see Edward looking at me. "Explain your thoughts to me, please."

I sighed. There was no way out of this! "I, uh I'm not safe to be around."

They all looked confused now and I sighed once more. How do I tell them this? If I tell Jasper the truth, he'll try to get involved and I don't want that. He could get hurt or even killed and there was no way I was going to let that happen. It's best if he and his family stay out of it. They're the first truely happy family I've ever ran into and I don't want to distrupt their lives.

"What's so dangerous that could possibly injure us?" Edward had his arms folded and one brow raised, looking like the definition of calm. Darn him too!

"Could you please stay out of my thoughts?" I asked him with a glare. He simply chuckled.

"Amelia, tell me what you are thinking." Jasper demanded as I looked back in his eyes. I couldn't. There was no way I could tell him what's happened to me since he last saw me.

"If you don't, I will." Edward threatened with an evil smirk.

I glared at the both of them before sighing. How did I get in this situation?

"It's a long story." A long, horrible, story with no happy ending. Well at least not for me.

"We've got time." Jasper said as he pulled me to an armchair and sat down, pulling me unto his lap sideways.

I sighed as I leaned against him, resting my head on his chest as he stroked my hair. "I don't suppose there's anyway out of this?"

He chuckled lightly. "Not a chance."

I sighed knowingly and began to tell them. "You remember how I told you about me getting changed on my sixteenth birthday?" I waited for him to answer before continuing. "Well on that day I was leaving home, for good. I had promised to call and write and with that said, they let me go. I didn't know where I was going but I just had to get out of that town." I than began to tell him about how Colby had biten me and dragged me off with him to San Antonio, Texas.

"Oh my God!" It burned so bad, I couldn't even scream. It seemed like my whole body was on fire, especially my neck. It hurt even more with my eyes opened so I clamped them shut as tightly as I could.

"It'll only last a little while my dear." I heard someone say into my ear. "In the mean time, I know something that might help."

"Anything!" I somehow screamed out. I couldn't see his sick little smirk but I could imagion how it might look.

"As you wish." His sick self replied. I could feel my clothes being ripped off of me and it wasn't long before he was inside of me. If anything, it made everything hurt worse. I had never been in so much pain in my entire life, and I wasn't just talking about the burning any more.

"Stop!" I tried to scream but he just placed his cold lips ontop of mine roughly, thrusting his tongue inside. It lasted for what felt likes weeks but it really was only two days.

"He did what to you?" I could feel Jasper growling before I heard it. Everyone around me was growling, even Rosalie.

I wrapped my arms around Jasper's waist and baried my face in his chest as he gripped me tighter. "It's okay, Jazz."

That didn't help him calm down at all. "No it is most definitly not okay!"

"I agree with Jasper!" Emmett's goofy grin was now turned into a murderous glare. "I say we go after the son of a-"

I cut him off. "No! It's in the past and I'm over it now. Hurting him will do nothing to help what happened then. What's done is done."

"Ever heard of anything called payback?" Rosalie folded her hands into fists before unfolding them over and over again.

"Please, continue Amelia." Carlisle looked just as furious but kept it all in. For that, I was grateful.

"When it all finally stopped, I was really confused. Everything was so different! So much brighter and more beautiful. I was suddenly much faster and prettier. Colby soon explained all the rules to me and what I can and can't do except he left some things out. He told me that I couldn't survive without human blood. That I had to join his army of vampires and change as many of them as I could. It wasn't until I met my friend Becky four years later that I learned the truth.

"I had met her in Gulf Shores. She was one of my only friends at the time and we just sort of clicked. It was werid since we are completely different. I was ruled by Colby while she let no one boss her around. She's tough as nails but would do anything for the ones she loved. It wasn't long before I was on her list that she considered family. I had somehow convinced Colby to let me go my own way, promising that I would continue making vampires for him. He was satisfied with that and let me roam on my own for the time being.

"Becky had taught me the real vampire rules. She told me drinking human blood wasn't the only way to survive but she choose to do it sometimes anyway. She and I would hunt animals together everytime we stayed with one another. It was so great being with her. She's like the sister I always wanted.

"My mind would always be drifting off to home though. I still consider Houston, Texas my home and probably will always. Well, I decided while I was away from Colby that I'd check in with Momma and Poppa, make sure they're doing okay." I stopped right then and took a deep breath, even though I didn't need to breathe. I hated talking about my parents more than anything.

"When I got home, Poppa wasn't out in the fields like he always was. I ran around to the house to see him layed up in bed, smelling very ill."

Momma's old cotton dress looked older and more ragged than I remembered and her long, brown hair was in a messy bun. Her once beautiful face had dark circles under her chocolate colored eyes and had more wrinkles than Poppa. She was sitting at Poppa bed side, holding his hand as silent tears fell from her eyes. I have never wanted to hold her tight so much before.

The town's doctor was checking Poppa's heart rate, a frown clouding his face. "I'm sorry, he's not going to make it."

"No! There must be something more you could do, dear doctor!" Momma's voice was begging as sobs unleashed themselves from her chest.

The doctor gave a sad, tired sigh. "I'm sorry ma'am but the cancer has spread too far. He doesn't have much time."

"It was only two days later before Poppa died." My eyes were filled with tears that could never fall. "That's when Momma lost it."

She was standing in the barn as she tied the rope tightly to one of the beams. I had been watching her from a distasts, grieving silently with her over Poppa.

"My son left me." She spoke so softly as she worked on tying the not around the rope tighter. I had no idea what she was doing but I didn't like the looks of it. "My baby girl left me on her birthday!"

Tears clouded my vision at that. Why did I have to leave? I should have stayed!

"And now my husband has joined them." Her bitter laughter caught me off guard. Mother had never sounded so cruel and harsh before. As she made a circle in the rope, I then figured out what she was doing. She was going to hang herself!

Jasper stiffened at this and I could feel the tension in the air from everyone. Their eyes were all wide as I sighed sadly. "I couldn't let her do this but there was nothing I could do. Part of me wanted to changed her; grab her by the shoulders and make it quick. But then I started to wonder, what if I couldn't stop? It was taking so much out of me not to attack her then and deep down, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop. And how could I even think of such a thing to do to my own mother? The woman who gave me life, helped me no matter what situation I was in, and loved me so very much. I had already hurt her so much in the past, I just couldn't condemn her to this life. I couldn't be so selfish. So I did the only thing I could do. I watched her die.

"After that I went back to Colby. I needed to get away from Texas and fast. I needed to...to kill. I had to get this pain out of me. But it seemed like the more I killed, the more horrible I felt. I was taking away someone's mother, father, child, niece, and nephew everytime! There was no escaping it and I found myself hating myself more and more as each day passed. If I had only stayed and been more tolerable of their grieving and pain instead of trying to run away, then maybe they'd both be alive. Poppa might not have gotton sick and Momma would have something to live for. I guess you could say the late 1800's to early 1900's were my emo years.

"It wasn't until I met a group of vampires that were traveling around Alabama that my self-hating stopped. They were from Australia and were changed in the early 1800's when they first moved here to America. Jack, Chris, Luke, Martha, Suzie, Beth and Janet were exactly what I needed in my life. They lifted my spirits and filled me with hope during the first few days of meeting them and it didn't take long for us to become great friends.

"Right when I thought my life was turning around, Colby showed back up. I didn't want to go though but he threatened me. He promised he'd distroy everyone I cared about and Colby always went through with a promise. So I left with him. For almost a century I was his little slave. I killed when and whoever he wanted and was never able to go off on my own again. My friends and I were never really able to hang out but I snuck around quite a few times, not baring the thought of being unable to see them. They were all I had in the world. All I had left anyway.

"Before Colby came along, I was able to stop hunting so many humans. I was actually down to where it didn't really bother me to be in a group with them any more. I could tolerate it. Now it's incrediably hard all over again. I can barely breathe when there's one near by and it takes every bit of self controll not to go at them. Well anyways, Jack and the gang moved up north somewhere, out of Colby's sight and Becky was part of a group that was ten times stronger than Colby was. I would have tried to escape to them if the leader wasn't trying to get in my dress twenty four seven." I rolled my eyes at the thought of the lustful loser.

"Knowing that everyone I cared for was safe, I made my run. I snuck out a few days ago and was planning to go north. It wasn't long until Colby caught up though so I went invisible. He's absolutely blind like everyone else is when I use my gift so it didn't take long to lose him. He's coming after me though. He's not going to stop until he finds me once again and this time it's going to be worse." I shuddered at the thought of what he might do. I didn't want to think too much about it though. Why freak myself out when he's no where near me yet? Besides, Edward would read it in my thoughts and I'd never be aloud to leave the room without Jasper by my side if he told him.

No one spoke for a long time. Everyone was lost in thought and couldn't find themselves able to move from their spots in the living room. I might have been able to if Jasper wasn't holding me so tight. If I was human I'd be dead most likely. He just kept me close to his chest, stroking my hair every second.

"The son of a guns going to pay!" Emmett's joyous voice was now hard and cold for the first time since I met him. He had a murderous look on his face and I couldn't help but feel a little touched that he would be willing to help after hardly knowing me for a day.

"No!" I yelled though. I couldn't get them involved. "You can't get involved in this! Colby is a powerful man and will kill anyone who stands in his way. I would never be able to live with myself if a family as nice as y'all got injured because of me."

"If you honestly think I'm letting you go after what you've told me you're out of your mind Amelia." Jasper's voice was hard like Emmett's. "This Colby person will be dead if I ever see him, don't you dare worry about that."

I was ready to argue but Edward joined in. "I agree. No matter how much you think we're at risk Amelia, there are eight of us and only one of him."

"He can make an army in no time." I answered, trying to reason with them. They've got to be out of their minds to think they can actually defeat him.

"We won't let him though." Carlisle spoke with such determination, I had to rethink my arguement.

"Please stay, Amelia." Esme's voice was so soft and broken it brought tears to my own eyes. She looked so terribly sad as I could see the tears glittering in her eyes. She came up to me from her position on the love seat and hugged me as much as she could with Jasper's death trap still in affect. I felt myself hug her back as I layed my chest against her's and felt her kiss my forehead.

When she pulled back she sniffed as the sobs that were escaping from her chest, slowly started to stop. Her cold hand caressed my cheek softly. "I'm so sorry darling that you had to go through such a terrible thing. Please dear, let us help."

I don't think that even Colby himself could have said no to such a sweet, caring woman. I couldn't find my voice so all I could do was nod my head slightly.

"Yes." I said after a few seconds. "Fine."

Alise was next to come up and hug me and then Bella and Rosalie. It wasn't long till the rest of the guys joined in as well. Through out everything, I had never felt more loved and excepted in my whole life. It felt so right being here in the Cullen's home.

"I've got a question." I managed to get out.

"What's that dear?" Esme asked me with a generous smile.

"Do y'all mind if I use your shower? I could really use a bath." I twirled my hair with my finger, a nervous habit from my human years that I carried on with me.

"Of course! I'll find you some clothes while you're in there." Alice smiled at me as Jasper reluctantly let me go. I followed Alice to the over sized bathroom and right when I was about to go in, she stopped me. I was about to ask her what was wrong but she pulled me into a tighter hug than I thought possible for her size and kissed my cheek.

"Everything's going to work now. I can see it." She winked at me and then was off down the hall. I sighed and walked into the bathroom, smiling when I saw that nice, welcoming shower.

JASPER'S POV

It was my fault she had to go through all that. If I hadn't left for the army, my baby sister wouldn't have ran away. Of course she didn't say that's the reason why she left home but I knew that was it. I've never felt so low before in my life.

"Jasper, she'd kill you if she could hear your thoughts." Edward gave me a stern look. "It's not your fault and it's not her's either. It's that Colby guy's fault."

"And we will make him pay." Alice said as she came back and danced over to where I still sat, plopping down in my lap. "He will never lay a finger on my sister in law every again!"

I wrapped my arms tightly around the love of my life and baried my face in her neck. Goodness I loved this woman so much. If it wasn't for her, I don't know where I would be.

"She's going to be okay. " Alice answered me softly. "She's such an innocent girl even though she went through so much."

"I don't see how." Rosalie said bitterly as she glared at the floor. It was clear when she first saw Amelia she didn't like her and I had a good guess on what my shallow adopted sister's problem was. It looked like she actually cared though, which really surprised me. I hadn't realized how much of an affect Mimi was having on everyone.
