A/N: Hey guys, so I know this chapter is a little late and there isn't an excuse for that other than that I had a really hard time writing and editing this chapter. Everything just seemed forced and rushed so I hope that you guys still enjoy it. I would have loved to just skip this chapter but some really important things happen in this chapter so I can't. Like I said I hope you enjoy.

Previously:

I doubled over in pain.

I started coughing and I couldn't stop. It hurt so much.

Sobs wracked my body as I coughed but eventually it stopped and the pain retreated to a dull ache all over.

I took a few deep breaths to get my heart rate and breathing under control before I moved my hand away from my mouth.

I stared at my palm in disbelief as soon as I saw it.

It was covered in thick, dark red blood.

I continued to cough and soon there was red blood running down my shirt. Where was my family?

I laid back against the pillow as I felt myself start to choke on my own blood.

I was gasping for breath and I couldn't breathe at all.

I tried turning on my side but it didn't help at all. There was still blood everywhere.

I put my hand around my throat trying to breathe, but it was no good and a few seconds later I blacked out.

Flashback 1

"Mrs. Cullen, is this your house?" An eight-year-old me asked staring up at the house in wonder. It was huge, but it also looked really old.

"Yes, dear, this is our house. And like I said, you can call me Esme."

"Wow!" I breathed out looking up in amazement.

Soon they pulled up to the house and I climbed out of the car being conscious of my broken arm and ribs.

"Need any help, sweetie?" Mr. Cul- Carlisle asked me holding out his hand

I smiled and took his hand gratefully. "Thank you."

"No problem," he also smiled before leading me inside.

When we got inside to the amazing house there were five older looking teens waiting inside whispering quietly among themselves.

When we stepped through the doorway they immediately quieted before all having different reactions to seeing me.

The short pixie-like girl smiled widely at me before stepping forward. "Hi, I'm Alice!"

I waved back and she smiled impossibly wider.

The blonde haired male beside her also smiled but stayed at a farther distance. "I'm Jasper," he said with a very thick southern accent.

The blonde haired girl simply scowled at me before walking into a different room.

The tall man who had been standing beside her smiled apologetically. "I'm Emmett and that," he gestured down the long hallway, "is Rosalie."

Finally, the last person spoke also stepping forward like Alice. "And I'm Edward."

I smiled shyly before standing slightly behind Carlisle. "I-I'm Elizabeth."

"It's nice to meet you, Elizabeth," Alice said. "I'm sure we're going to amazing friends."

I smiled back sincerely at Alice. I'd never had a friend before.

But soon enough I would be closer than best friends with my whole family. Sure we had some speed bumps, putting it lightly, but we still made it there in the end.

Flashback 2

I was having a nightmare. Just like every night, except for usually I didn't disturb anyone when I had them. I would just wake up and calm myself down before trying to go back to sleep or getting ready for the day depending on what time it was.

But this time, I woke up crying and screaming Alice was in my room within seconds. Her speed was almost non-human. Almost.

"Aww, what's wrong?" Alice asked concerned stepping forward, but for some reason, I felt like she already knew.

"Nothing," I mumbled wiping at the traitorous tears that had escaped from my eyes.

She stepped forward again and I sat up in the bed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."

"It's okay sweetie, we were already awake."

I nodded, but when I glanced at the clock I didn't believe her. "I'm still sorry for disturbing you."

Alice moved forward even more before sitting down on the edge of the bed. "I can tell you're upset. Can you tell me why?"

I quickly shook my head and Alice didn't press for answers. Instead, she simply smiled sympathetically and leaned back against the wall.

"Do you want to go watch a movie with us then? You can pick the movie."

"Won't Carlisle and Esme be mad? I'm supposed to be asleep."

"I know they won't mind."

"Okay," I nodded following her out of the room, down the stairs, and into the family room.

Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were already in the room so I followed Alice to another couch and sat down beside her.

"What do you want to watch?" Alice asked picking up a remote and pointing it at the TV.

"I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me," I replied sleepily leaning against the back of the couch.

She nodded before putting on a Disney movie about ice princess, a funny reindeer, and a frozen kingdom.

About halfway through the movie I could barely keep my eyes open and I groggily leaned against Alice's shoulder.

She was cold, but it didn't feel bad and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

And for once I didn't have any kind of nightmare. It was just a calm, dreamless sleep.

Flashback 3

Alice, Emmett and I were playing some made up game of hide-and-seek tag when my foot suddenly caught on the carpet.

I tripped and fell down the other half of the stairs.

I hit my head on the banister and I could feel warm blood coming out of the cut.

I sat up slowly, holding a hand to my head.

It stung and I quickly pulled it away. It was covered in blood.

At that point, Edward had appeared beside me. Where did he come from?

He looked worried and I wondered why. It couldn't be that bad of a cut if I was still conscious.

Or at least I wondered why until I heard thunder in the house and what sounded like growling.

Edward quickly lifted me up and a second later we were in Carlisle's office.

I looked around curiously before the sat me down on a spare desk.

A minute later Carlisle was in the office as well and I'm not exactly sure what he did but it was something that knocked me out.

I had woken up a couple hours later with a bandage around my head and Carlisle had to slowly and patiently explain what they were.

I had to be more careful not to get hurt or draw blood in any way.

And although that was nearly impossible I had managed to get hurt less which had helped everyone. Especially Jasper and I.

So although this had been yet another road block me and my amazing family had managed to overcome it together.

End of flashbacks

The last memory faded and pain had been completely unbearable before but now it had been replaced by an empty darkness that had followed.

I'm not sure how long I stayed there, in the darkness, before eventually I was pulled out of the numbness and into a blinding light.

I blinked a couple of times before looking around the room. I was in my room in my bed except for everything was coated with a light layer of ice.

I sat up and looked around again wondering where the ice had come from before Alice and Edward came gliding into the room.

"You're awake," Alice smiled not seeming at all phased by the ice.

"Where did-"

"You, we're not sure exactly, but you created it a little while after we moved you up here," Edward cut me off.

"Oh." was all I had to say.

Alice laughed slightly before she moved forward sitting on my unfrozen bed.

"Liz, do you remember what happened?" she asked calmly although there was an urgent undertone to her voice.

"I… there was blood and then I couldn't breathe and…" I trailed off. That was the last thing I could remember. Did I pass out?

"You did," Edward answered my internal question. "We're really sorry we weren't here. We were out hunting but then Alice had a vision and we came back as soon as we could. With the blood, Jasper and Esme had to leave but Carlisle took care of you. Do you remember what you said when you were… asleep?" he asked hesitating on the word asleep.

I shook my head and he relaxed. "That's probably for the best then."

"Oh okay," I looked down and from the way he said it I could tell that whatever I had said had probably upset their feelings.

That's when I noticed how pale my hands were. I mean sure, I was pale before, but not like this. Not like the rest of my family.

Did they have to change me? Was I dying when they found me? Did I have powers now? Was I dead?

Edward chuckled at all my questions.

"No, we didn't change you, Yes, you were dying but you're okay now, We think you have powers, but I can hear your heart beating."

"What am I if I'm not a vampire then? If you guys didn't change me?" I asked out loud this time.

Alice and Edward both hesitated.

"We're not sure," Alice finally answered. "But Carlisle is asking some of his contacts to see if they know."

"Wait so I'm not human then either?"

"No."

I was waiting for it to hit me, but it never did. It was like I already knew the answer.

"How long did I 'sleep'?" I asked Alice finally.

"The rest of the weekend. Today is Monday."

I nodded. I was also expecting that.

"Come on," Alice's voice cut through my thoughts, "let's go downstairs with everyone else."

I nodded yet again before slowly standing up to follow her.

I stumbled and Edward laughed before catching me and carrying me down the stairs instead.

I laughed as he gently placed me down on the couch next to Rosalie and Jasper. I'm not invalid. I can walk on my own.

"You're awake" Rosalie smiled, clearly pleased.

"Yup!" I smiled back, "although I think I froze my room."

Jasper and Emmett snickered and I glared at the both of them

Edward spoke up from the other couch. "There is no 'think' in that sentence you DID freeze your room."

Emmett and Jasper started laughing even harder and even Rosalie chuckled lightly.

"I didn't mean to!" I playfully glared at all of them which caused Emmett to burst into uncontrolled fits of laughter.

I just continued to glare at them.

About an hour passed of us goofing around as we waited for Carlisle and Esme to get back and it went almost smoothly.

I accidentally froze Emmett to the couch at one point when he had teased me non-stop about my room, but he had easily broken the ice and resumed teasing me relentlessly.

I almost froze him to the couch a second time.

Eventually, Carlisle and Esme had arrived and we had calmed down so that they could tell us what they had found out. Which brings this story to the present.

I listened carefully as Carlisle explained the difference between humans and vampires again. Clearly, I was missing something because everyone else besides me seemed to understand what he was saying perfectly. Just not me. I had no clue what he was trying to say.

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked impatiently before immediately regretting it. "Sorry," I looked down ashamed.

"It's okay," Carlisle soothed. " I guess I wasn't making much sense was I?"

I shook my head and he chuckled.

"Okay. What I'm saying is that, according to my contacts and sources, you are neither human nor vampire. You are…

I'm curious to know what you guys think that Lizzie could be. Please follow, favorite, and review telling me what you think Lizzie is. Constructive criticism is also welcome because it helps me to know what I am doing wrong. I should have the next chapter up in one or two days. I hope you guys enjoyed!
