A/N Well my actual first chapter that includes the new character. What do you think? Is he too strange for your taste? I do believe I am going to keep going in his point of view but that may change later in the story, I may be giving a try at writing Alice as a character. Again I am sorry she is so OOC but think of what she is going through. Thank you all again and please review I love hearing what you all think.

ngw-ox: Thank you for being my first reveiw, I was waiting for that so I can post this chapter. Let me know if you are continuing to like it.

It was yet another cloudy damp day in Forks when Christopher had arrived. He was used to bad weather, coming from the one state where weather changed more often than a woman changes clothes, but he wasn't used to a constant cloud cover. He had ventured this way to give his condolences to the second largest vampire coven for their loss, although it had been a year since he had heard the news. Any vampire that was active in the community of his kind knew of the Cullen's and what they were. He strived at their same ideals, and had always wanted to visit, but was unsure if he would be comfortable around the large group. He had always been alone, for so long isolation starts to grow on you. Yes he had been around towns and was social, but never for anything longer than an hour. But now he had his reason to go, and that was all it took. He started his trek slow, never one for rushing anywhere. When he finally had arrived in Forks, the smell of the Cullen's was stronger than anything he remembered and he quickly followed the scent. There he stood, in front of the barely visible drive to the house of the Cullen's. Unsure if he had made a smart decision, surely they would still be mourning and his company would be more of a nuisance. Before he had a chance to turn and run he was suddenly flanked by two male vampires with evil smiles across their faces. He swallowed a lump and extended his gloved hand out to the larger of the two. They just looked down at it and shook their heads as an older vampire approached, walking this time and stood in front of him.

"Welcome to Forks friend, you are in our territory and ask that you do not hunt while you are here." The man said with a softer, calm expression. Chris had to shake his head for a second before words were able to form. He opened his mouth to respond but was cut off.

"We thank you for your concern but we are fine, the initial shock is gone and we are glad that one would come to mourn as well." The golden haired one said, answering the comment that never left Chris's mouth. He nodded his head and looked at the other two, who held a frustrated look at the interruption.

"I am impressed that the stories mistaken how strong your power was, Edward, if I am not mistaken." He said realizing what happened. An innocent smile spread across his lips as he turned to the other two and shrugged his shoulders. "As I was about to say, I had come to offer my condolences for your loss, and had always wanted to meet the famous Cullen Coven." He said now looking at the other two. The older man's smile warmed up while the larger guy was still tentative. All three took turns to shake his hand and turned.

"If you had heard of us, I assume you know that we house a human and you are to control yourself or leave now." The older man said as the group of four slowly made their way towards the house.

"He is used to human contact; in fact, he too is a 'vegetarian'." Edward commented for him, using the inside joke the Cullen's use for their animal diet. Chris smiled as they approached the large house and got a smell of something amazing, assuming it was the human he sighed. As he entered three females were there, two vampires flanking a human. The one on the right had a calming welcome look about her, but the other had beauty beyond reason and seeped danger. A curious looked crossed Chris's face and before he caught his thoughts from wondering, Edward picked up on it.

"She wasn't what you smell was she?" He asked him as he made his way to the human, Bella, Chris deducted. He shook his head and now both males had a curious look on their faces. Shaking the mystery from his head, he made his way forward and held his hand out to the females, each of which took it gently and shook it.

"My name is Christopher Luck, but everyone calls me Chris. I am here to offer my condolences for your passing member and also to see the Cullen family in person." He looked at each member and the math in his head was off, someone was missing. He was shaken from his thoughts when Bella took his hand and turned it over in her hands.

"Why the gloves?" her innocent voice surprised him and he smiled back.

"Just a precaution." He said as innocently as possible, finding things as far from it to think about. Everyone instinctually looked at Edward, who only shrugged his shoulders.

"He doesn't want any one of us to know apparently." He said before taking Bella up the stairs and out of sight. The bigger guy and the beautiful woman, whom he had figured out to be Emmet and Rosalie, left out the door and Carlisle made a comment about needing to be at the hospital. So Chris was there alone, Esme had kindly offered to keep him company, so he had agreed, there was still so much he wanted to learn.

"So, may I ask where Alice is? I had counted in my head the number that was last known for your family and that is the only one I am missing?" He asked sitting down on a couch as she started cleaning areas where a small amount of dust accumulated. She had a small sadness cross her face before she regained her original nature and looked over to him.

"She had taken Jasper's death the hardest and she has only begun recovering her own will. I do believe she is out hunting, but I may be wrong." She said lightly and Chris sighed and only smiled. "So where do you come from?" she asked after she could no longer find anything to straighten or clean.

"Well I am from the east coast, Michigan actually, the weather there is fun." She laughed at his comment about the weather and shook her head. "Hunting isn't as open there though. Most common thing you will find is deer, but occasionally you will find some bears or wolves." He continued, not sure what he was achieving by giving her his boring story of his life. They both became more comfortable when the slamming of the front doors alerted an arrival. There standing in torn clothes and blood stained skin was Alice. The smell nearly knocked Chris to the floor as he recognized where the odd smell came from. He hair short and black spiked in various directions looked as wild as the look in her eyes showed. Chris had to swallow a lump in his throat, and opened his mouth to greet the new arrival. Before he had a chance, she growled at him and flew up the stairs and slammed her door, wood cracking and a metal crash erupted before silence ensued. He looked up the stairs for a while before back at Esme, who seemed up scathed by her adopted daughter's entrance.

"She isn't upset with you, well, not personally." She tried to comfort him with little avail. "She has the ability to see when things happen, and since the death, her visions have been wrong, if she has any at all. Carlisle thinks it is just the stress that is bothering her power, although no one truly knows what can affect the powers." She said innocently as she stood up and smiled. "I must apologize but I need to start making food for Bella, it seems she is getting hungry."

"Allow me to join you; I always was curious as to seeing food made." Chris smiled as he stood as well and followed the woman into the kitchen.
