CHAPTER 3

Mood Music: Against me! - Stop

I sighed. Paranoid I thought. Then, I saw the little girl looking at me like I was going to eat her. As I stood there watching and listening to them a shiny silver Volvo raced around the corner and stopped outside near the parking lot. A man with red-brown hair stepped out too fast for a human and dashed to me.

"Hello." Wow looks like a nice family, I thought.

"What are you doing here?" he asked sharply.

"You mean you didn't know I was coming?" I would've thought that this turf would be more closely guarded. Hmm.

"Who are you? And why have you come here. This territory has already been claimed and you have no right to trespass on our land." He said, his voice edging toward violence.

" I mean you and your… coven, family, whatever you want to call it, no harm. I was curious. I know I am disrupting your peace. I'm so sorry." I said. The annoying buzz filled my ears again… only a little bit louder. It was starting to get distracting.

He stared at me. He had the internal-battle-look on his face.

" I know you might say no but… will you introduce me to your family? Your coven is the first I have found that isn't hostile or red eyed." Please say yes. I pleaded in my head.

"Ok, fine but I'll not let you out of my sight. And I'll have Alice make sure you're not going to try and do anything. But I will know if you are too." That name rang a dim bell but I couldn't –for all the life in me- remember where it was from!

I shrugged. "Fine by me. I don't mind. Won't be the first time I've had someone nervous around me." I chuckled. My mood was changing by the minute… I wonder why.

He walked me to his car. As I got in. he was outside talking to the vampire and... human? Kid along with the man.

"…I don't trust him. I'll take him to the house but I don't want him near you two. Oh and Jacob? Don't come over until I tell you. We don't want to have a fight. Not that it would be much of one…" so russet colored guy must be Jacob.

"Edward. No. I'm coming with you. Jacob can stay here with Renesmee while we figure this out." Renesmee… that was an unusual name… I kinda liked it.

There was a long silence.

"Fine."

They both came into the car fast. Not bothering on walking slow. In a hurry I assumed. When they were in the car I was being brave so I asked, "Hi my name is Alix. What's your name?"

She looked at Edward but didn't say anything. I sighed. I hope I will earn their trust eventually.

When we reached the house, we were greeted by more new faces.

"Hello, I'm Alix nice to meet you."I said in a polite tone. From the corner of my eye I noticed Edward nod once.

"Welcome Alix im Carlisle," Carlisle said in a highly curious voice. "We are very glad to meet you. Please, won't you come in?"

"Sure."I said as I walked in their enormous three story house.

"This is a nice place you have here."Although I wouldn't particularly buy a house with this many levels.

"I don't mean to press for answers but… I do have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering them."

"I don't mind."

He smiled. I motioned him to start. At least I'm not getting killed…yet. Edward growled beside me. Everyone looked at Edward even I did. Edward shook his head. Carlisle reluctantly looked back at me.

"I've noticed that you have golden eyes. You don't hunt humans." It wasn't a question it was a statement of fact.

"Yes, it was how I was… raised I guess you could say."

"Why were you in the area?"

"I knew that Washington was cloudy. And as you know, California isn't the best place to be a vampire." I laughed.

"How old are you?"

"A few decades."

"Wow. When did you decide to come to Washington?"

"Not too long ago actually. My creator suddenly wanted to leave." My face hardened.

"Do you know who your creator was?"

"Yes. His name was Zach."I looked over at the short black haired girl to ask her what her name was because she suddenly walked down the stairs. And I remembered her. She looked at me. Her eyebrows pulling together. Carlisle saw her too.

"What's wrong Alice?" Carlisle turned his attention to her.

"Nothing." She said in a voice I recognized as frustrated. I realized that she looked a lot like me.

Alice. I thought through my shock. All of a sudden the buzzing stopped. It was like going from one minute of listening to someone blaring the music to turning it off. Her eyes widened. Edwards face stopped dead and remained like a stone. My face was dumbfounded.

AN: yay! clifhanger! i think that clifhangers suit me best just so i can keep ya comin back for more XD but on a more serious note... here is an interview with me and Alix, Alice and Edward.
