I do NOT own anything Twilight

Edward's POV

As usual I was sitting in my room writing in my journal while everyone else was out with their mates. Oh how I wished I had a mate. Esme is afraid that I was changed to soon. Carlisle has hope that I will find a mate some day. Carlisle himself had to wait a long time to find Esme. I had just hoped I wouldn't have to wait as long a Carlisle had. It's hard being the only unmated one in a house with three perfectly mated couples. I love my family dearly but its hard for me to be around all the love.

Edward go to the study and wait for me. Get the patient table set up. We found a unique young girl in the woods. She has a heartbeat and blood in her veins but there is also venom in her. She's not changing. It's… different.. Carlisle's thoughts came to me.

I could see the girl that Carlisle was thinking about and just from his thoughts, the girl took my un-needed breath away. She was stunning. Long brown wavy hair, her skin looked pale as mine but she had a glow to her?

I quickly shook my head of thoughts of this girl and ran straight to Carlisle's study. I moved things out of the way and pulled the patient table out of the closet. A few seconds later Carlisle and Esme ran into the room. Carlisle quickly set the girl down and started checking her over for cuts or scrapes. Esme was getting a wet cloth to wash off the girls face.

"Carlisle what is she?" I had to ask. I've never encountered a person with a heartbeat, blood running through their veins, and venom. Well yes during a transformation but this smelled different. I couldn't put my finger on it.

"I think she may be part human AND part vampire. But I cant be sure. I've never heard or seen anything like it before. She's something other than human though." Carlisle told me while he looked at the girl. You could see the questions in his head even if you weren't a mind reader. And let me tell you, I had as many as he did.

The girl on the table whimpered and I ran to her pushing Esme back and growling. Mine is all that ran through my mind at the moment. I saw the confusion on Esme and Carlisle's faces. I didn't care. The girl whimpered again and I turned toward her, cupping the side of her face in my hand. She sighed.

"Edward, are you ok? What was that? I didn't hurt her." Esme said to me. She sounded like if she could cry she would. Instantly I feel horrible. I know Esme would never hurt someone. Why did I react that way.

"I'm sorry mom. I don't know what came over me." I told her while stepping up to give her a hug. She hugged me back telling me it was ok.

I know what came over you. Carlisle thought to me.

I turned toward my 'father' and looked at him questioningly. Waiting for him to tell me what he thinks it was. I was confused. I don't know why I reacted that way. But when the girl whimpered it was like I just had to protect her. Like if something were to happen to her to hurt her then it would hurt me. Like if she were gone I'd break into pieces.

"She is your mate Edward." Carlisle stated with a smile on his face. Esme gasped and hugged me tight.

"Oh Edward this is great. You have found your mate. I'm so happy for you son." Esme said while releasing me from her hug.

"Edward you reacted the way that a mate would react to someone trying to harm their mate." Carlisle told me while I was standing their speechless.

I had found my mate? In a girl that we don't even know what she is? Or who she is. What if she doesn't want me as her mate? I had so many questions and I was just opening my mouth when I felt the girl on the table move her arm. We all turned toward her just as she was opening her eyes. The most beautiful brown eyes I have ever seen.

"Where am I?" She asked looking at all three of us and then when her eyes landed on me. She took a deep breath in while closing her eyes and then they snapped open and she pounced on me.
