A/N: Hi everyone. I know I didn't make it obvious but Ellie stayed away from humanity for two days after being changed. She had heaved the blood up and like every new-born she wants blood. Also don't expect updates to be as regular as this. Please review, favourite and follow.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight

I ran to lands of snow, occasionally stopping to satisfy the burning sensation in my throat. I didn't know where I was running too, only that it had to be perfect for starting a new life. In the middle of feeding I was interrupted.

"This is our land," a female voice said and I turned around.

There were two stunning female vampires with the strangest golden eyes I had ever seen.

The taller of the two spoke again, a look of shock on her face. "You're an animal drinker but you have red eyes. Are you a new-born or have you only just started drinking animal blood?"

"What's a new-born?" I asked curious.

"A vampire who has just been turned," the shorter vampire answered.

"I guess I'm a new-born then. I only woke up a few days ago and found animal blood only recently."

"Where is your sire? Who created you?"

"I don't know. He didn't mean to turn me."

The vampires exchanged glances and the taller vampire introduced herself, "I am Kate, this is Irina, my sister. Please come and meet the rest of our coven."

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth Adeline," I said, purposefully dropping my last name. "Please call me Ellie."

"Our home isn't that far away and you don't have to worry about humans being near." Irina smiled in reassurance.

I finished feeding before heading towards the home of the vampires who had been so friendly to me.

"Family meeting, now!" called Kate as we entered the house and three vampires appeared in the room and sat on some chairs.

There were two women and one man. There was a blonde female who looked similar to Kate and Irina and the other female had dark hair and an olive tone to her pale skin. The man also had dark hair and olive skin.

"This is Tanya, Carmen and her mate Eleazar. This is Elizabeth Adeline, a new-born, but she feeds on animals."

"It's Ellie."

"How old are you Ellie?" the woman called Carmen asked.

"I'm nearly sixteen. I woke up a few days ago."

"You're only a baby!" Carmen exclaimed before turning to Eleazar and muttering in a language I didn't recognise.

"Well we can't have you wandering alone. Welcome to our coven or as we like to call it, our family." Tanya smiled.

I returned that smile, this would be my fresh start. I figured that Jasper had played a part in my meeting of these friendly vampires who shared my dietary choices. Yes, Jasper was looking after me.

Eleazar was looking at me with a strange expression on his face.

"What is it? Does Ellie have a gift?"

He nodded. "I think she's a shield, I'm not sure; I can't get a proper reading. It's like she's blocking me but also repelling me. I've never seen anything like it!"

"Kate? We can try with your gift."

"Can someone please tell me what is going on?" I asked completely confused.

"Some vampires have gifts, Eleazar can see other people's gifts and Kate can stun people. We believe that you have some sort of shield, but we are not entirely certain as to which shield you might have," Tanya explained and I nodded in understanding.

"And you want Kate to stun me to see if I have a shield?"

"Yes, my gift is mental. It might hurt slightly but I'll put it on the lowest setting."

"Ok, I'm ready."

Kate extended her arm to touch me. I was waiting for the contact but it never came.

Eleazar looked delighted. "I still think there is a mental shield. Ellie can you possibly lower it?"

"I don't know how!"

Kate smiled, "I used to only be able to use my power in my palms but now I can use it all over my body. Imagine your shield as elastic, Picture the colour of it and now retract it."

I closed my eyes and I concentrated. Feeling a judder as it retracted fully I grinned. "I did it!"

"Well done Ellie!" Kate cheered. "Ready for the mental?"

I nodded and I felt Kate's hand on my arm and I felt a twinge of slight pain, but nothing worse than a grazed knee.

"That should've put her on her ass," Kate commented.

"It ached slightly, I don't think I could hold it up for long or push it out."

"I've never seen anything like this, two shields!" Eleazar exclaimed. "The Volturi can't know about her."

"Who are the Volturi?"

"They're the leaders of our world. They uphold the laws, don't let humans know our secret, no new-born armies and no immortal children. They're the main three. Our mother created an immortal child and was killed for it and rightly so. The Volturi have a habit for collecting gifted vampires, Eleazar was a member before leaving," Irina said.

I made a mental note to stay off the Volturi's radar, it would be potentially disastrous.

"Let's take Ellie to her room, the guest room on the third floor should do, and let her freshen up," Carmen suggested and took me to my room.

"It's so big!" I exclaimed. "Why is there a bed? I thought we couldn't sleep- I certainly haven't in the past few days."

"It's more for appearances, and you may eventually find your soul mate and want to er partake in certain activities," Tanya said.

If I was still human my face would have been as red as my favourite dress.

"I don't have any clothes!"

"Don't worry, we're about the same size my clothes should fit you," Irina smiled gently.

I liked these vampires and I would definitely enjoy my stay here, no matter how long it would be.
