Disclaimer: Yes. I own the rights to twilight. Thats why I'm writing fan fiction for FREE, instead of writing a new book for like, a MILLION dollars. In case the sarcasm was missed. Me. Own. Nothing. (Except Madyson Taylor)

Also, I am SO sorry it took me so long to update. Life. School. Grrr. No time to write.

Bella's POV

We packed up as much as we could, throwing the boxes into the back of the cars. Edward, Nessie and I took the volvo, Alice and Jasper took the Porsche, Rose and Emmett took the BMW and Carlisle and Esme took the mercedes.

Madyson came with us in the Volvo. She seemed to be getting a bit better, but she still sounded like she was in pain.

We followed Carlisle and Esme, speeding blindly down the highway.

We crossed the boarder into Canada just as the sun was setting, driving along the west coast until the sun rose up again.

We stopped at a hotel in Vancouver BC. I carried Mady up to the suite, laying her on the bed. Her transition was almost complete, and it was starting to show. She looked adorable, lying there on the bed. Her screaming had quieted into whimpers, which must mean the fire was disappearing.

Once everyone had settled, and I had put Nessie to bed, the rest of us gathered in the main living room.

"We need to stay low until the search for Mady slows down." Carlisle told us. He looked very worried, holding tightly onto Esme's hand. "Alice, any clue how long that'll be?"

Alice concentrated, trying to get as accurate a time frame as possible. "Without a body it's going to be hard. But they are going to arrest her step father, there was no evidence of any sort of kidnapping, plus a group of people are going to testify, stating how abusive he, as well as Mady's mother was to her. Its going to be pretty quick, a month tops."

Everyone nodded. "We will find a permanent place to live in about two months then." Carlisle said. We nodded again.

"I am so sorry," I lowered my head. "I should have been more careful."

Esme flew to my side, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "Bella, sweetheart, this is not your fault. It was just... bad luck."

Esme stood up, "I'm going to check on Madyson." She headed towards the room Nessie and Mady were sharing.

Madyson's POV

The fire was burning me apart. Why was I not dead yet? I prayed to God, asking him to just end the pain, but the burning continued. After what felt like days, the fire began to die down. I exited my body slowly, until only my fingers and toes were burning. Once that last flame was gone, I opened my eyes.

Everything was so clear. The room was white, with white beds, and a small coffee table, and a black TV. It looked like a hotel. The room was filled with a million different scents, but none of them were familiar.

Sitting on the edge of my bed was Mrs Cullen. What was I doing in a hotel with my teacher. "Mrs Cullen?" I looked up at her, only now for the first time, really seeing her beauty. I had always know she was pretty, but I could see now that she was flawless. Her beautiful face was perfect.

"I'm here Madyson, everything is okay." She held onto my hand, and her voice was soothing. It wasn't just her voice I heard though. I could hear the voices of, one..two..three..maybe four, or more people. I looked around the room, but no one else was here.

"Do you hear that? There are voices..." I looked at Mrs Cullen. "What is that?" I looked around the room again.

"Um..err...Madyson, see, heres the thing..." Mrs Cullen sounded hesitant.

"Mrs Cullen, what is it?" I asked, sensing that she was nervous or something.

"First of all, call me Esme, and second of all..."

She paused again, I could hear people sighing. Where was that noise coming from.

All of a sudden the door to the room burst open. A small girl, with short black hair flew into the room. "Madyson, what Esme is trying to say is that we are vampires." She didn't give me a second to react, before continuing. "Your step father almost killed you, and left you for dead in the forest. Esme came across you, and saved you. But in order to save you she had to turn you into a vampire. Some perks that come along with being a vampire include amazing hearing." That explains the voice. "As well as beyond perfect vision as well as super, and I mean really super fast speed."

"Vampires?" Delilah and I once watched a movie about vampires. It was very scary, these people, well actually they were vampires, would kidnap humans, and drink their blood. I couldn't sleep for weeks after Delilah showed me that movie.

"You...you...drink..blood?" I couldn't believe my teacher, the one whom I looked up to as a role model, she killed people.

"Well, yes and no." The short pixie like girl spoke again, "Our family is different from others of our kind. We don't kill people, we don't live off human blood, we live off animal blood instead."

I didn't know how to respond. I didn't know if I understood. "Wait, so we drink animal blood? Do all vampires to that?"

"No," It was Esme who spoke this time. "This is a choice, a lifestyle if you will, that our family has chosen. We do not want to be monsters. We don't want to kill people..." It sounded like there was more she wanted to say, but she stopped talking.

All I could do was nod. All of a sudden, a burning in my throat caught my attention. It overpowered everything else. The pain was increasing, and I wanted to cry. There we no tears though.

"Esme!" Some one called from the other room "She needs to hunt!" Hunt? Like, hunt an animal...it was all starting to make sense.

"The burning in your throat is just your thirst. You need to..err...drink." Esme explained.

"Drink like, blood?" I asked. Esme and the pixie girl nodded. "I don't know how to, though..."

"You will pick up on it very fast. I will take you, and show you how. Then when we come back you can meet the rest of the family." Esme stood, and walked out onto the balcony. I followed her. We were only on the second floor, and it was not a far way up. Still though, I didn't think we would be jumping. Esme picked up on my hesitation, "It's very easy, Mady, watch." She hopped over the railing, and landed on the ground perfectly.

As I was climbing over the railing, I had a flash back.

I was only five. Delilah was 15. It was a Friday, and Delilah was out babysitting. I begged her to bring me with her, but she told me she couldn't. My mom was out, leaving me alone with her new husband of seven months. I hated him. And he hated me. I sat in my room, crying for Delilah to come home. I guess he got tired of my whimpering, because she came up into my room, grabbed me, and carried me into his and my moms room. He opened the sliding door to the balcony, and put me down. He shut, and locked the door, leaving me out there in the cold. It was dark out, and I was scared. I banged on the door, but nobody came for me. After what must have been hours, I decided I would try to jump down. It didn't look that high. I tried to climb over the banister, but my foot got caught. I lost my balance, and fell two floors down onto the hard grass. I had broken my wrist, and my ankle, and I had a concussion.

I suddenly found my self back in the present. I couldn't do it. I couldn't jump. I backed away from the banister, and started screaming. "No! I won't jump!" I pressed my back against the wall, refusing to take a step closer to the edge.

"Alice!" Esme called, "Help he please." The short girl, Alice, came out on to the balcony.

She picked me up, and held me tight in her arms. "PUT ME DOWN!!" I wailed. "Esme, please, help me!"

Alice walked towards the edge, and began kicking and hitting her. It seemed to have little effect. She climbed over the railing, and despite my screams, she jumped, with me in her arms.

Once we were safely on the ground, Alice set me down. I ran over to Esme, wrapping my arms around her waist. "Esme, I could have been hurt!"

"Mady, vampires are not easily hurt. We are very strong, and have very hard skin. You can't break bones or anything like that. There is nothing to be afraid of." She ran her fingers through my hair. I wanted to trust her, but I wasn't entirely convinced.

Alice took a step towards me, and I warned her not to touch me. She nodded, and kept her distance.

"So Mady," Alice said, still standing a few feet away, "Are you ready to hunt?
