"Hello." I said in a surprised tone. She had a warm smile on her face, making me truly believe that she was nice. She must of been, since she greeted us in the same manner. But how did she find us? How did we know we were out here? That was the real mystery to me, and I wanted to know for certain how she found us.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you." She said aloud to me, her tone was so warm and nurturing to made me think of Wendy. She took a step towards me and I heard a intake of breath from behind me. I looked behind me and I saw Sam with wide eyes. He had fear, genuine fear of not knowing what was going on or what was going to happen.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Esme said in a concerned tone, she took a step back to her original place and I walked back over to Sam. He looked over at me, asking me silently with his eyes what was going on. I hardly knew him, heck I just met him for a brief moment or two before we had to run for our lives. But I felt the need to protect him, to make sure nothing happened to him. Wendy told me to watch him, well at least I think she did. Gently I placed a hand on his arm, once again seeing his eyes pour into mine.

"It's okay." I told him quietly, keeping my voice warm and soothing to him. He searched my eyes for a moment or two and then we both looked back to Esme. She kept her distance from us, but non the less her smile was still evident on her face.

"This is Sam. He's a bit...shaken." I said aloud to her, my hand still on his arm as Esme smiled at him.

"Pleasure to meet you Sam." She said to him in her warm tone of voice, making me smile widely from the pure sound of love in her voice.

"I do apologize for my behavior. But it was a pleasure to meet you as well." He said to her with some warmth in his voice. I felt a wave of relief flow through me, knowing he was okay with this.

"I was hoping to take you to our home, we've been waiting for you and Wendy." Esme explained to me, she then looked around us with worry in her eyes. Then I knew, she was looking for Wendy. Wendy, who was supposed to be with me and explain out situation. Great, now what was I going to say.

"Oh dear, did something happen?" She asked with concern in her voice. I then felt like a child caught with his hand stuck in the cookie hair, how I heard of that saying I will never know.

"I ran into Emma and Wendy after trying to out run two vampires who were after me. Wendy fought them off and ordered the both of us to leave before anything were to happen." Sam explained to Esme as I stayed silent. I could tell he felt like it was his fault we lost Wendy, and I would agree with him too. But damn me for having a heart and caring for him though I hardly knew it.

"Perhaps we should get you two out of the open area and back to our home." Esme said to the both of us and I nodded my head vigorously. The last thing I needed was to stay out here in the wide open for the vampires to find us.

"I'll take you to our home, follow me." She said to the both of us and she started to run. Sam and I ran after her, keeping close and not looking back as she led us around the town in a arc and along an dark highway. At first I was confused on where we were going and why we were leaving the town. But then again I knew Carlisle wanted his family to live away from the humans. We ran for a minute or two and ended up in front of a house in a clearing about 5 miles away from the town. The house, itself, made me sigh in amazement.

It was a large home, sporting with large pillars and dark green shutters near the windows, brick walkway that was surrounded by beautiful colorful flowers. There was a large pine tree in the middle of the yard that sported perfect green grass that reminded me of my mountaintops of Austria. Overall, it was a perfect large home.

"You live here?" Sam asked in amazement. Esme laughed a bit, the sound of her laugh sounded exquisite, and nodded her head.

"I have a hobby of refurbishing homes." Esme said to a loving tone. If that was her talent, she needed to make it a career. She smiled at the house, and I can tell she was quite proud of her work. We then followed her down the brick path and towards the front door. The sudden rush of reality settled in, I was going to meet Carlisle Cullen for the first time. moving the hair away and nicely on my head, I had to make sure I looked presentable. Carlisle shouldn't see me in this state, scared and confused. But I couldn't help it, the recent events were still flooding my mind.

We walked into the room and were in awe and amazement at what was going on inside of the already beautiful home. There was a grand staircase to our left, with a nice small entree way. There was a nice small table that held a glass vase with roes pouring out the sides. A rug was on the floor underneath the table was beautiful, a dark blue that matched the walls and the dark oak on the stairs. The house itself was gorgeous, and I had no words to describe it.

"Emma." I heard in front of me down the hallway and I looked over, seeing Esme and Sam look over at well. Walking towards us was a young man who seemed to be around the same age as Esme. He had blond hair that was slicked back slightly, wearing a doctor's coat and stethoscope around his neck. He was very handsome, reminding me of the silent movie actors that I would get to see every once in awhile with Wendy. He had a lovely smile, something I was surprised at.

"I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, it's lovely to finally meet you in person." he said aloud to me in a soft tone of voice, almost the same manner as Esme's: nurturing. He walked straight up to me and kept his smile on his face.

"Hello Dr. Cullen." I said back to him with warmth in my own voice.

"And who is this with you?" he asked me in a polite tone. He was looking over at Sam, but a smile was still evident on his face. Sam was quiet behind me, I wouldn't blame him since this was all so new to him.

"I'm Sam, it's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Cullen." Sam said aloud to Carlisle, a smile was on his face. He was trying to be polite and not show that he was scared out of his mind. But I could tell Carlisle saw through his gaze.

"It seems that something did happen while the two of your were out there in the forest, is that true Emma?" He asked me in a more serious tone. I knew I had to tell him the truth, and he had to know what was going on with Wendy.

"Wendy and I were coming to visit you, and we ran into Sam here." I started, looking over at Sam for a brief moment or two, "And Sam explained to the both of us that he was being followed by two vampires who killed his maker and wanted to kill him as well. Wendy was holding them off and told the both of us to run."

Throughout my whole explanation Carlisle was silent, keeping his eyes on me and Esme as well. She even walked over to Carlisle and took his hand gently. I watched their joined hands for a moment or two, thinking of how lovely it looked from my point of view. I was jealous for a mere second, wondering if I was ever going to experience that kind of relationship, or love even.

"Should we go out there and find her?" Esme asked Carlisle aloud, worry was in her voice as if she was there to see it all happen. I looked to Carlisle, hoping some kind of answer would be suitable enough for me.

"Wendy is not one to run into any trouble whilst she's alone. I'll go out there myself and check the area, you two should stay here and relax." Carlisle explained to both Sam and myself. I nodded my head, not wanting to go back out there again and have the eerie feeling of being watched.

"I can show yo to two of our rooms, you must be exhausted." Esme said to me and I felt a smile on my lips. I was a bit tired from running around all the time, and I wanted a moment or two to just be still.

"I'll take Edward with me, and I'll be back as soon as I can." Carlisle said aloud, then looking to Esme and kissing her lightly. He then walked back down the hall in a brisk pace and Esme stood in front of the both of us. But before she said anything, I saw two figures coming from the same direction as Carlisle left. One of them was very large, muscular in fact with dark curly hair a dimples on his smiling face. He was in fact a giant, but the smile on his face made him less scary and more approachable.

The female, however, had a hard look on her face. Her hair was blond, long and flowing down her back to the middle of her back. Her eyes were golden, just like the boy and Esme, but they seemed darker. Maybe it was because of how hard she looked as she had her arm linked with the boy. She was stunning, like Esme, but she was even more beautiful.

"Who's this Esme?" the boy asked aloud, his voice was deep but had warmth in the voice. it must be something that's common in this family, along with sheer beauty.

"This is Emma, remember Carlisle told you about her. And this is her friend Sam." Esme introduced us and the boy smiled widely at me, his dimples so big and evident on his female, however, kept a straight face and it almost seemed borderline cruel.

"I'm Emmett, it's nice to meet you Emma." the boy said aloud, moving away from the female and holding out his hand for me to shake. I shook it, seeing how massive his hand was in my small hand.

"Hello." I replied, seeing him smile at me while he towered over me and then shook Sam's hand with the same smile on his face. He then moved back to the female and wrapped a arm around her shoulders, as if he was trying to soothe her.

"And this is Rosalie." He said after a moment or two of silence, he seemed to feel the same awkward silence between us and I smiled at her. But as I looked at her, she gave me a death glare of some sort.

"Pleasure." She replied, her bell tone of a voice was low and bitter. My smile was instantly gone, having me think that she caught me in some horrible act. Rosalie then shrugged off Emmett's arm around her and she walked back Sam and myself in a brisk pace, out the door.

"Don't mind Rosalie, it takes her awhile to warm up to people." Emmett replied aloud as I watched him look at Rosalie, who now broke into a run and disappeared into the forest. I looked back to him, seeing how he was looking in her direction. It then clicked in my head: they must be together as a couple.

"I'll show you two to the rooms you can stay in." Esme said to the both of us. I looked back to Sam, seeing him nod his head and we both followed Esme up the stairs to the second floor. There were three hallways: one to the left, one to the right and one down the middle. We went to the left and down the hall a bit, passing a door or two. Esme stopped in front of the door on the right and opened it for the three of us to walk into.

"Emma, this can be your room, if you'd like." She said aloud as I walked in slowly. The room was a pale blue, white trim around the walls. There was a large window opposite of me, with white curtains that are pulled to the side. On one of the room there was a large closet, a dresser next to it with small trinkets on the top. On the otherside was a rather large couch, also white, with a blanket thrown over one of the arms and a rug in the middle. Overall, it looked like a study than a bedroom.

So, this where I'll be staying. For now at least.
