a/n ok, I just realized that this story actually only have 12 chapters, including the epilogue…wow…thought it had more before…anyway, if I do this today, and on every day from now on, it still won't take me two weeks, so expect this story to be done quickly!

Face Down

"Would you like to join us, and be part of the Cullens?"

"Whoa…" was the only thing I could say to Carlisle's offer. I was stunned.

"Well? It'd be fun!" Emmett said.

"Emmett, don't be pushy. She can choose as she wants, and she can take as much time as she wants," Esme scolded her 'son'.

"Um…" I said, still a little stunned, "Can I tell you later? I don't think I could decide now."

"Aww…ok…" Alice pouted.

"How about you relax in Rosalie and Emmett's room?" Esme asked, as everyone started leaving.

Emmett and Rosalie froze.

"But…We were going up-" Rosalie complained.

"Like you two can't use somewhere else. You've done it before!" Edward commented.

"Edward…" Esme warned, as everyone else, except Rosalie and Emmett, snickered, "Carlisle!"

"Sorry," Carlisle and Edward said in unison.

"Jasper must have been affecting my emotions again," he said, glaring at Jasper, who was laughing more now.

"Jasper!" Alice said, angry that he got her fake-father in trouble.

"Anyway, you can go up to Rosalie and Emmett's room, they'll find something else to do," Esme interrupted all the small fights that would start momentarily, if she let them continue.

"Thanks," I said, and started to leave, remembering where Rosalie and Emmett's room was.

I found it without a problem, and sat on the bed, trying not to touch anything, especially not the dressers. From what I've understood, Rosalie and Emmett are the two that like to have fun in their room the most.

"Yeah, they are…it's disgusting…" Edward poked his head in.

"I didn't need confirmation!" I said to him, jumping off the bed, and leaning against the black dresser, Edwards head still sticking in.

"You may not want to lean against that," He said, and I jumped off it as well.

"The red one?" I asked, before taking that risk.

"Yeah, that's Rosalie's," he answered before leaving. I heard him telling Bella that he just wanted to watch me jump.

Thanks, Edward, really polite. I thought to him. Don't poke your head in, I'm just thinking, ok?

With that warning, I started sorting the pros and cons of joining the Cullens.

The pros included being a vegetarian (I always felt guilty, taking a life), being with my aunt, and the fact that with their luck of everyone in the family finding a mate, I will too. Those weren't all of them, but some of the more important ones.

The only cons I could think of are being a vegetarian, because I doubt animal blood is as good as human, and the fact that I would be the odd man—woman—out.

I heard a knock on the door and thought to Edward, if it's you, come it. Then waited a second.

He did come in, all the way, and said something to me really quickly before leaving again.

What he said was, "I was the odd man out for over a century, and Carlisle was alone for over two centuries, so don't worry about being an odd man out, we won't bug you."

After he zoomed out, I couldn't help but wonder if I should or shouldn't. I decided that I wouldn't choose now, but would experience life with them for a while, then choose. After that decision, I ran to the dining room, and asked everyone to join me.

Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Bella, Jasper, and Alice came quickly, and Rosalie and Emmett came a second later.

"I think I've decided, I want to stay with you-" I got cut off.

"YAY!" Alice said, but I cut her off in return.

"Wait, I didn't finish," I said, making sure no one would interrupt me again, though I already forgave Alice, "I'll stay with you, but only for a while, then I'll decide if I want to stay or not."

"Aww…" Alice said, a little sad.

"I'm sorry Alice, but I just don't know yet if it's-" I was cut off by a sound outside.

There was a car passing, just like normal, but the car was squeaking, and came off the road, on the side across from the house. We ran out, using our speed, because no other cars were near by, and Alice grabbed a cell phone. The girl driving the car looked drunk, and was dead, and the guy in the passenger seat wasn't drunk and was alive, barely.

Before my eyes, they got a lighter, and wood, and lit the car on fire, after getting the living man out and into the house. The man had been bleeding, so the whole time, I was not breathing, trying not to drink his blood, as they brought him in, and bit him. When I heard the scream of pain, I ran in.

"Did you bite him?!" I yelled, hoping that no one was drinking his blood.

"Yes," Carlisle said, his mouth was clean though, "He needs to be changed."

"Oh," I said in shock, and looked at the unnamed. All the blood was still on him, Bella and Jasper staying back, the two newest vegetarians, because I wouldn't count myself as a vegetarian yet.

He screamed, repeating things like, 'stop the fire' and cursing at us for not stopping it. That got my attention. I looked at him, seeing a face that normally would have looked handsome, with not-too-full lips and a nose that fit in his face. His hair was red, and his build was normal. He looked to be about 34 or 35. My age.

"Stop it, for God's sake! Stop the fire!" he said near the end of the three days.

When he stopped screaming, I stared at his face, waiting for him to make some movement.

He opened his eyes and showed that he was a vampire, his eyes were red.

a/n so here's this chapter…yaaay! Chapter three is done! That's a whole fourth of this story…and I still haven't had a really really short chapter. Yaay!
