Kristina looked around the empty street before continuing her trek down the road. This must be the neighborhood he had been talking about. She suddenly saw two people turn down the street. She froze, and drifted slowly into a dark alley. Tears ran down her cheeks as she remembered the last time she was in an alley just like this one. Disgusted with herself for crying and not being the strong independent woman her mother and father taught her to be-

"What are you doing?"

Kris jumped about two feet in the air at the unknown voice. It was a woman, with raven hair and dark eyes, but what really scared Kris was her form. She was almost 6 feet, and had muscles that all woman envy. Kris shuddered as she thought what she could do with those muscles and staggered up, ready to run. But as soon as she had one foot in the air, the woman grabbed her shoulders.

"I'm not going to hurt you I promise. Jazz! Get over hear and calm her down please." The woman yelled. Kris involuntarily flinched. She hated when people yelled at her. She heard soft footsteps and followed a man who looked about 20, with pale skin and honey blonde hair. Her eyes widened, and she tried to break free of the woman's viper grip. She was suddenly hit by a wave of calm and she began trembling in fear. Again.

"What's your name sweetie?" The woman asked. But Kris's eyes were firmly on the males, his gaze was to intent on her and it was terrifying. The woman turned around to see what she was looking at before she saw she was looking at the man. She chuckled softly before turning back to Kris, her gaze softer.

"That's Jasper. I'm sorry if he's scary. I'm Leah. Where are your parents?" Leah asked. When Leah said that, her gaze flickered back to her. Kris's eyes pricked with tears. Her parents were gone. Everyone in her family was gone. Kris just shook her head and looked down as new tears fell down her cheeks. She felt Leah nod before letting go of her shoulders and pulling a cell phone out of her pocket. She dialed a number and waited for someone to answer. When someone picked up, the voice was gruff and husky.

"Talk to me."

"Hey Jake? It's Leah. Can you meet me in the alley next to the trinket shop? Bring Carlisle, Esme and maybe Edward if you can."

"Yeah sure. Can I ask why?" The voice asked. Leah glanced in Kris's direction before saying "No" and hanging up.

"Carlisle and Esme are great people. They'll make sure you safe." Jasper said. His voice made Kris want to hide. It was beautiful, but she had heard beautiful voices before. They had killed everyone she loved. She shivered as she remembered their screams. Tears once again slid down her cheeks. She slid down the building wall and wrapped her arms around her shins. She hated feeling vulnerable. She furiously wiped her cheeks and let her arms drop to sides, and her hand ball into fists.

Leah had been talking to Jasper about her she was sure, but when she looked up Jasper was gone, and Leah was looking at her with soft motherly eyes before sitting beside her. She nudged Kris playfully before half smiling. She didn't speak, and Kris was grateful for that. Before she could stop them, sobs wracked her body and she was soon trembling from the force. She felt really hot arms wrap around her midsection and she sobbed onto Leah's shoulder.

After about 10 minutes of crying, she gathered whatever dignity she had left and pulled away from Leah. She felt a slight breeze, and she looked up to see 5 people staring at her with sad eyes and smiles.

They were all pale. There was a blonde one (not Jasper, but he was beautiful like him, so she wouldn't be surprised if it was his father) and a different woman with caramel-colored hair. She features were perfect as well. There was a teenager, no older than 18 with bronze hair. He was tall, all of them were.

Kris's gaze fell on the one on the right. She froze. He was about 6'7 and looked like he just came out of a photo shoot. His hair was shaggy and messy, and he didn't have a shirt. Kris rolled her eyes internally. His face was handsome, and instead of pale he had a nice shade of russet skin. His eyes were terrifyingly dark brown, almost black. Those colored eyes would always haunt her. She flinched away from them all.

Leah got up and walked to the blonde and bronze ones.

"She's not telling me anything. She doesn't have a family or anything Carlisle. I don't even know how old she is. Edward can you…" she trailed off in silent question. Edward nodded before turning to Kris. Her hands balled into fist.

"She's angry. But… her name's Kristina Ann Cameron. She has no family." Edward said.

She frowned, getting ready to run when they weren't looking. Edward looked at her again and frowned.

"Why are you so afraid?" Edward asked. She couldn't help it. All the memories came flooding back to her, almost in a monologue.

The family reunion was a pleasant one. Her family was there, and everything was perfect. Ron was even there, even though he wasn't family. Kris had a crush on him since forever.

There was a little disturbance near the grill, but everyone ignored it and went about their business. But then there was an ear shattering, heart wrenching scream.

3 people walked up to everyone, and they were beautiful. But there was something wrong. They were unnaturally pale and beautiful. They all had blood dripping from their mouth, and their eyes were bright red. Everyone was quiet for a moment before screaming broke out, and running. Kris looked for her mom and pa, but they were nowhere to be found. She dared looking near the grill.

Her mother's eyes were lifeless, and there was a bite mark on her wrist. Her mocha brown skin was covered in her blood. Her father looked exactly the same.

Kris screamed as tears ran down her face. Someone grabbed her wrist and yanked her from the sight. There was fire forming, and it was burning the surrounding trees. She screamed louder, thinking it was the killers, but Ron's dark brown eyes bore into hers, telling her to run, that he would protect her.

The fire was getting bigger, and it was soon too hard to breath. They ran as fast as they could. There was screams everywhere-

"It's okay Kris…"Leah soothed her. Kris realized she had been beating the ground, screaming for them to come back.

"Where's Ron?" Edward asks. Kris's face hardened.

"He got sick." Was all she said. It hurt too much to think bout how the life had left his eyes one morning.

'Take care of yourself, Kris…' he had said. She suddenly stiffened. She didn't cry. She took what little pride she had left and rose from the ground like Leah had.

"Esme is going to take you to their house. Carlisle is a doctor, he's going to take care of you." Leah said. But Kris shook her had in alarm.

"Their dangerous!" Kris shouted, speaking for the first time. Leah shook her head at her and said,

"I've known them for a while. They won't hurt you. If they did, I'd kill them." Leah said calmly. None of them looked fathomed by this at all.

"Because she would." Edward said. It was like reading her mind Kris realized.

"Stay with me Leah, please?" Kris's voice sounded weird to her, not hearing for days. Her throat had been aching, but she had ignored it her best.

Leah smiled softly, and nodded. "As long as you need me."

A/N: By adding this character I have to make a few changes to the plot, but hopefully you'll love it all the same. Tell me how you like, love, dislike or hate Kristina in you reveiws! (Please?)
