Thought I'd add this one as well just because it doesn't really move the story along just introduces the Cullens.

I slowly began to open my eyes.

The first thing I noticed was how great my eyesight was. I could literally see every speck of dust in the room.

Which then lead me to notice that this was an unfamiliar room to me. In fact I had never seen this room before in my life.

This was it. I was dead.

The angel must have killed me and I was now in the afterlife.

I heard voices that were clearly coming from downstairs but sounded as though they were right beside me.

"Just go up and see if she is awake."

"She needs to take it all in before she comes down and sees us lot."

"I am telling you she is already awake."

I didn't recognize a single voice but had a strong feeling they were talking about me.

I got up out of the bed and opened the door.

I had no clue at all where I was and just followed the voices as they carried on talking.

"I should be the one to see her first."

I stopped dead in my tracks. I did recognize that voice and it pierced through my whole body.

If I was dead how come I still felt this pain?

I breathed heavily but suddenly realized this was the first time I had taken a breath since I had woken up.

I looked up and saw a young girl looking at me.

She was beautiful and almost pixie looking. Her dark hair was cut into a short crop and spiked in all different directions, and she was probably no taller than 5ft. She had the same pale skin as Edward and the same topaz colored eyes.

"Ah see I told them you had woken up but they wouldn't listen to me." She said, holding out a hand for me to hold.

"Is Jasper down there?" I croaked.

Her hand slowly moved away from me.

"Of course he is. Don't you want to see him?" She asked me, her voice sounded almost as if she was singing.

I stared at her. My body felt like it wanted to cry but for some reason my eyes refused to let the tears come through.

"No." I finally whispered.

The pixie girl looked at me sympathetically and then smiled.

"You'll be fine once you're down there." She spoke as though she was 100% certain that sentence would come true.

I just looked at her, pleading with my eyes.

"You can stand here pulling the puppy dog look on me all you want, you're going down stairs." She said, but not in a menacing tone.

This time instead of asking for my hand, she grabbed it from my side.

For a small girl she was really strong and before I knew I was down the stairs.

Staring back at me were four faces I didn't know and Edward.

Behind Edward was Jasper.

I swallowed though I didn't really need to and looked down at the floor.

"Welcome to our home Hermione." One of women said to me.

She was just a bit taller than the pixie girl. Her hair was a caramel colour but not as bronze as Edwards, her face was heart shaped with dimples as she smiled, her smile seemed warm and friendly and her figure was slender but just like everyone, including Jasper, she had pale white skin and topaz eyes.

She walked towards me with her arms out stretched and pulled me into a hug.

I kept my hands glued to my sides and she pulled me out of the hug and looked me straight in the eyes.

She allowed her arms to drop back down to her sides.

"I'm Esme." She informed me.

I just nodded absent mindly.

The man standing next to her, who was much taller than her, had model good looks. He was also slender but muscular and had bright white hair, just a few shades darker than his skin, turned to me next.

Instead of hugging me, he put his arm around Esme.

"And I am Carlisle, Esme's husband." He smiled, his teeth were glaring bright.

Even more so with my high definition eyesight I had so magically got.

I wasn't taking in anything they said to me as the biggest lad out of them all came bounding over to me.

He towered over me and his muscles were something that a body builder would have been proud of. He had dark curly hair and he also had dimples when he smiled. He hadn't stopped smiling since I came down stairs.

He picked me up in an embrace and then gently put me back to my feet.

I watched him in complete shock as he told me his name was Emmett.

He laughed a loud booming laugh before putting a hand on my shoulder.

"I'll be putting you to the test." He smiled before retreating back to the rest of the angels.

The girl he stood next to was so pretty she looked like she had stepped out of a fashion magazine.

Her long blonde hair literally flowed all the way down to her waist and her facial features were perfected as though she was sculpted like a statue. She simply oozed elegance, class and beauty. She didn't smile at me, adopting a pout instead.

She also didn't leave Emmett's side.

"I'm Rosalie." She told me, looking at me intently as she did so.

I just nodded again, finding this whole situation confusing.

The pixie girl danced in front of me and gave me a gentle hug.

"And I'm Alice, we're gonna be best friends." She smiled, before standing next to Edward.

I took a moment to take a longer look at Edward. He was impossibly beautiful, the most beautiful of them all. His facial features were perfect. High cheekbones, strong jaw line, a straight nose and full lips. I saw more clearly with my new eyesight that his hair was a gorgeous shade of bronze and quite messy yet somehow styled. He could almost be compared to a God.

I snapped my stare away from Edward.

I stood there and looked at the line of beautiful people. Each one of them pretty much perfection.

But as they stood smiling at me, welcoming me almost, I caught sight of Jasper hiding behind Edward's shoulder.

Anger built up inside my body and I had to suppress the urge to go over and rip him into two pieces.

Instead I stared back at the angels and sighed.

"And is some going enlighten me on what the hell is going on?" I finally said, though I hardly recognised my own voice.

Edward chuckled and Emmett's booming laugh filled the room once more.

"Of course we are." Carlisle said.

I stared at him waiting.

"We are not angels that I can tell you. And you are not dead, well for all purposes. Me and my family we are…. Vampires." Carlisle said.

I just stared at him not knowing whether to laugh at what he had just said.

"Vampire's don't exist." I said.

Emmett laughed again.

"So you believe in angels but not vampires?" He said.

I opened my mouth to reply but realised he was correct. Why should one magical thing be real and not another one?

But as I continued to look at the "family" nothing about their appearance struck me as vampires.

I raised an eyebrow at them.

"I think you may have to elaborate on the whole vampire thing." I said.

Carlisle nodded and motioned for me to sit on the couch behind his shoulder.

I did as I was told as the rest of them sat around me, apart from Jasper who didn't even move an inch.

"This isn't going to be easy to take it so I need you to just listen to me without any interruption and ask questions at the end. Deal?" Carlisle said.

I nodded at him and took in a sharp intake of breathe.
