Well, I have thought this chapter through over and over in my head and I'm still not sure how I want it to go. So I've decided to just go with the flow and see how it turns out. I'm sooooo sorry for the wait. I just bought the new nook from barnes and noble and I've spent more time reading then writing. Okay guys, so here we gooo!

As much as I hated to admit it to myself, I was nervous. I was meeting a family of vegetarian vampires. Not just one, not just two, but a whole coven. Reality was setting in. I opened the doors to the cafeteria and every student in there when quiet. Even a deaf person could've heard a pin drop. I cleared my throat and strolled in with my head high. The silence lasted only a minute longer and dispersed, returning to the previous noise of conversations.

I got in line behind a short girl with wildly curly hair. She turned when she saw me. I saw fear flash in her eyes before bravery overthrowed it.

"Hi. I'm Jessica Stanley. Your Isabella Swan, right?" she smiled. I still sensed her fear. Humans instinctively avoid vampires. We're dangerous, and some part of them knew that.

"Bella," I immediatly corrected. There was just something about Isabella that seemed so formal. "Nice to meet you." I gave her a slight smile. It didn't reach my eyes and I hope she caught that. I had heard her in one of my earlier classes, she was fishin' for gossip and I wasn't gonna bite. I didn't want to speak to her so I just looked away, tuning out anything she was saying.

I got a tray, piled it with food, paid, and stood in front of all the tables, looking for any sign of Alice. And, not a second later, I spotted her. She was waving her arms rapidly, obviously trying and succeeding at getting my attention. I walked to her table and sat down beside her.

"Hello, Bella!" she squealed with excitement. "Hi, Alice." I chuckled at her behavior. "Where's the rest of your family?"

She smiled apologetically, "They were late getting out of their classes, they'll be getting here in twenty seconds." Yep. Definitely future seer. I began counting in my head to see how accurate she was, and at nineteen, I smelled their scents surround me as they all sat down around us. I took note of all of them. The male that sat beside Alice put his arm around the back of her chair and leaned in and kissed her quickly. They must be mates. He had light blonde hair, i
t was slightly longer than his jaw. He was well muscled and lean. The one next to him was a female. She had golden blonde hair that fell in waves well past her mid-back, from what I could see of her she was very beautiful, even for a vampire. She was currently in a full on make-out session with another male. I couldn't get a clear view of his face, but he was much larger than Alice's mate. He was burly, with well-formed muscles, a tall frame, and dark curly hair that was cut short. The last one at the table was strikingly handsome. I found my eyes glued to him. His copper colored hair was in disarray. He was more boyish than the others. Leaner, but muscles as well. I found my eyes glued to him; I didn't want to look away. We made eye contact, his light butterscotch eyes met my golden honey ones and at that moment, I knew, there was something between us. I had to find out what that was.

"Hello?" Alice shouted. It was then that I realized she must've been having trouble getting my attention. I shook my head, clearing my thoughts. Man, if I were still human my cheeks would be crimson right now. "I'm sorry, yes?" I apologized. Alice sighed slightly with a knowing smile and began to speak again. "Okay, as I was saying, this is Jasper, my husband," she gestured to the man with his arm around her. I nodded and smiled at him. "That's Edward," She smiled with a glint in her eye at me and pointed across the table at the boyish male with copper hair. I gave him a genuine 'Bella' smile and looked down in embarrassment. He was looking at me in frustration and astoundment. He smiled back, it was a crooked smile, and I realized that it was my new favorite thing in the world. "That's Rosalie," she pointed to the blonde woman. Rosalie broke away from her lip lock and looked at me fully. Obviously seeing if I were compition or not. I guess she decided I wasn't anything to worry about and smiled subtly. "And, finally that's Emmett." I looked up from my tray and came face to face with my brother.

I mentally slapped myself for not recognizing his hair, or his form. I searched his face, finding shock, happiness, and excitement. I'm sure he saw the same on my face.

"Okay, everybody, this is-"

"Bella!" Emmett interrupted her. He got up quickly and pulled me out of my chair, encasing me in his arms. A huge bear hug is what I called them when I was young.

"Emmett! I missed you so much!" I gasped, holding back a sob. I felt fifteen again, reliving the sadness and grieving I went through. He squeezed me impossibly tighter. "Oh my God, Bella, I can't believe it. When were you changed?" He spoke so quickly no human could possibly tell what he was saying. It was then that I remembered our audience. Emmett's coven.

As soon as I remembered I heard Rosalie hiss. "Emmett, what the Hell is going on?"

We let go of each other and I said we should all go outside to talk. Many of the students were trying to listen in on the conversation.

Everyone now stood by our cars. There was a permanent smile plastered on my face. This was crazy. I found my brother. He's a vampire. He's not dead. I get to spend eternity with him and his family. Wait! What? I can't just invite myself to join their family. I hardly knew any of them except for Emmett.

"Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward, this is Bella, my sister." He boasted. I just continued to smile like an idiot and nod.

Alice laughed lightly "I saw this." she stated smugly.

"So, that's why you were blocking your mind!" Edward spoke. A mind reader, too? Geez. I understand now why he was looking at me the way he was earlier. He couldn't read my mind. I laughed to myself.

"I'm so glad you're here." Emmett stated to me in disbelief.

"Well, now that you guys have found each other, I suggest we go back to our house and clear everything up." she announced. We all mumbled in agreement and we got into our seperate cars and I followed them to their house.

The whole drive there, I still couldn't make myself quit smiling.

Okay! I know it was short. I'll try to make the next chapter longer. What do you think? Review! I love to read them! They are what fuel me to write this so if I get no reviews, I won't update!

Love you guys! ,
