Thanks for the views and follows and favorites, they keep me writing this story. I know I haven't been able to post for a few days but I have been busy with other stories and keeping up with everything else. Anyway, I hope you like the chapter.

Again, I do not own any of the characters, only the lead one.

Edward's P.O.V

Ever since I saw Bella, I thought that she was the prettiest thing that I have ever encountered. Then probably the second prettiest thing I have probably encountered is Scarlett. Her hair was in a lovely shade of chestnut. Or chocolate? I couldn't tell. Strange. Scarlett's nose was pointy and a little crooked, as if she had broken it numerous times, she had high cheekbones. Her eyes were also nice. Even when I looked into them, I felt like I could stare at them for hours. Scarlett's eyes were emerald in color. I thought I had also seen blue in there. Again, strange.

Anyway, her mind was easy to read. Just like a normal human, but I had a feeling she wasn't. When me and Bella had seen her rushing towards us, I read her thoughts and realized she was something different. She was being chased by a monster. At first, I thought it was a joke but then I saw the Cyclops. I had no clear idea what she was but she believed in Greek gods and mythology. I would have to ask her about that later.

When she had seen her friend, Percy Jackson, whom we adopted several weeks ago, she looked shocked. Percy didn't really like to share his old life but I had read some of his thoughts.

"How's Annabeth?" I heard Percy ask. We had given him some privacy with Scarlett in the small room. Well, not enough privacy. She didn't know that we were vampires and we could hear through long distances.

"She can't stop talking about you. Worried. I swear she looks like a person from an asylum." Scarlett replied jokingly. She had a good sense of humor. She was wry as well.

"I miss her." I heard Percy mumble to himself. I thought that Percy's words were too low for the girl to hear but then Scarlett said in her head: He thinks I can't hear him.

"Wha-what happened to your eyes?" Scarlett asked. "Annabeth told me they were green. Not gold. Was she wrong?"

"No." replied Percy. "Not at that time anyway." he murmured to himself again. Scarlett heard that. I realized that she had good hearing. I thought that that was strange for a human. Well, she wasn't really human.

"What happened to you, Percy? I've heard stories about you. You're different now." Scarlett asked. I saw Percy look down in her head.

"I was changed." Percy replied sadly. I was the only one who knew Percy's true feelings at the moment. He smiled at my family, pretending like he was having the time of his life as a vampire. But, of course, his thoughts usually screamed at me. I had read in his head that he didn't like his vampire life at all. He wanted his old one back. He also thought about a pretty blond girl, Annabeth Chase.

"Changed? Wait. Did these people change you? Are they crazy hypnotists or something?" Scarlett asked, I could here confusion and sarcasm in her voice. I chuckled and so did the rest of my family. Scarlett had a wry sense of humor.

She then asked some random questions about his 'godly parent'. Percy had told me and my family about his past life. That got me wondering. Was Scarlett one of him too? There are so many possibilities. I then heard Percy asking her who her godly parent was. So she was a demigod. No wonder why she believed in Greek mythology.

I read her mind and was surprised that she was a little annoyed. I realized that her parent was Apollo, the god of medicine, poetry and other things. She didn't feel so special about it. Even though we just met, Scarlett reminded me of Bella, insecure, vulnerable and selfless.

Percy was somehow an opposite. He reminded me of Rosalie sometimes. Handsome but not content. He didn't like his current life, he wanted his old one back. Carlisle had changed him when he was found bleeding in the forest, suffering from a monster attack. Percy had thanked Carlisle for saving his life but was unhappy still. Whenever I was around Percy, I tried to block his thoughts because they would always wander to Annabeth Chase, his girlfriend. I had seen the girl in his head a hundred times. Sandy blond hair, stormy eyes and had a natural tan. She was pretty, but I found her eyes incredibly distracting, like she was thinking a million miles a minute.

Why are the Cullens like this? Why are they so pale? And why does that blond guy, what's his name? Oh right, Jasper. He stares at me like the way monsters stare at you before a meal. Why are their eyes red? And why are they so pale? Annabeth never told me about the kinds of things out here, I heard Scarlett think. I sighed, I guess I better explain to her what we were.

I zoomed over to the door and opened it. She turned to look at me, her green eyes were so piercing, I felt like my own were being scraped out right now. I shook my head infinitesimally, I would not let this girl get to me.

"Um, Scarlett, I think it's time for us to explain who we really are." I murmured. She followed me to the next room, Percy didn't want to come. I sat down on the cream couch and gestured her to sit across me. She sat down hesitantly.

"And what are you exactly?" she asked me boldly. I was taken aback. I guess my assumption about her being like Bella was wrong. She sounded confident. My wife sat next to me.

"We are vampires." Bella said bluntly. Perhaps she was a little offended by Scarlett's choice of words. It was Scarlet's turn to be shocked.

Vampires? She thought in her head.

"Yes." I replied. She looked at me, confused and irritated.

"How do you know that was what I was going to ask?" she asked. I shrugged, not going to answer the question. I figured that she would figure it out herself.

"So vampires exist?" Scarlett asked.

"Yes."

"All of you are vampires." she stated. I nodded. "So you're not going to eat me?"

We all laughed.

"No."

She looked relieved. She then stayed silent, I tried giving her some privacy.

"What? No questions?"Emmett asked, his voice booming. Scarlett jumped, obviously startled.

"No." Scarlett replied. "I don't really wanna hear your life stories and how you evolved. Let's just keep it this way, okay?"

"You may want to know our powers though." Emmett said. I rolled my eyes. He wanted to show off all his skills. Scarlett raised an eyebrow.

"All the skill I see right now is cockiness, what's your name again? Right, Emmett." she replied. The rest of us guffawed.

"Do you want to bet against that? I mean, I did just see you run away from a thirty feet tall, one-eyed monster."

"Yeah. I'd love to see what you got. For all we know, you may have some guy personality in there somewhere. Hidden."

Emmett glared at her. "Oh please, I'm sure you got some girlishness in there as well. I assumed that you would be smart enough to avoid me."

"Avoid you? Seriously?" Scarlett scoffed. Emmett shrugged, not saying anything.

"How about a fight? To prove it?"

"Deal."

I sighed, oh dear, here goes Emmett again.

"Outside. In the woods." Emmett declared. Scarlett nodded and started heading towards the door, she opened it and got out, waiting for him. She was a lot faster than I thought. Emmett followed suit.

"Oh, Emmett try not to smash any trees." I said. I had a feeling that Scarlett would win this fight. I knew that Emmett was a vampire, but still... She had some kind of bravery in her.

"Oh, please."

Well, there's chapter two, I hoped you liked it! Please rate and review!
