\ A/N: Sooo, here it is. Chapter number 3. We're getting closer and closer to 5 which is when my new story's first chapter is published. If you would like to add a character to this story leave the character's first name, appearance, and backstory in the reviews. Here is the chapter when Kendra meets the rest of the Cullens. Also if you think I should change Kendra's name leave that in the review too because I'm having second thoughts. Anyways, Enjoy!

Rosalie: I own a BMW...

Alice: I own a Versace bag...

Edward: I own a piano...

Me: And I own Twilight!

Everyone: *glares*

Me: Okay, I don't. But a girl can only dream...

As we approached the beautiful white house, I could feel what little flush I had drain from my face. This was actually happening. The moment I'd been looking forward to from the time I knew these people existed. And I was completely terrified. Yes, it was true. There were moments in my life that I had feared for my life but never had I been this terrified. We stopped in front of the white door and not wanting to meet anyone's eyes just yet, I seek refuge in my hair. It was a habit I had picked up in my human years when I didn't want others to the expression on my face. But this expression on my face was not I felt the need to hide. I just felt a little self conscious of all the attention I would surely be getting. A knowing look was on Bella's beautiful face. She put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Ready?" she asked gently. But did I really have a choice? From the corner of my eye I saw Edward give a small nod. And so I decided...

"Yes," I answered surely, my face still ducked behind my hair.

And with that she opened the door and stepped in. I followed her all the while hiding behind my thick black hair and staring at my shoes. Bella stopped in front of my and I could tell that we were in the center of the room. I could almost feel everyone's eyes on me.

"Everyone, this is Kendra," Bella announced. I silently thanked for saving me from having to introduce myself. But when she said the words I did not respond. Without lifting my head my eyes travelled to Edward who nodded encouragingly. I still could not find it in myself to respond.

Two short seconds later, I felt a tug on the thigh of my white jeans. I looked at the side of my right thigh to find beautiful little Renesmee seeking to claim my attention. When our eyes met she held her arms up and I scooped her up and positioned her on my hip. I saw a small smile on Carlisle lips, whether it be at my self control or me showing a close bond to this little girl I barely knew, I could never be sure. Renesmee looked at me and reached her hand through my hair to touch my cheek.

In my head, there was images of the Cullens welcoming numerous people into their home with open arms. Then I saw an image of me being welcomed as well. Such a smart girl. She pulled the hair from my face and tucked it behind my ears. I set her on her feet and kissed her cheek. When I stood, my head held high I heard, gasps. Probably noticing my eyes, realizing I was a newborn. Then Rosalie, in all her beautiful glory, caught my eyes and gasped as well.

"Are you…okay?" she breathed. Everyone gaped at Rosalie. I stepped in front of her and held out my hand as if to shake it. She took it and with my other hand I touched the back of hers. I knew why she had asked me that. As the days turned to weeks, I couldn't hide the profound sadness in my expression that only grew as the time passed. I hurried to assure her.

I looked at her and smiled. "I'm absolutely fine." I said simply.

oOoOoOo

Edward's POV

When Bella announced Kendra's name she didn't open her mouth nor did she lift her head. She looked at me and I nodded to reassure her. I could hear in Renesmee's thoughts that she wanted to comfort her. She found the girl interesting, much like she did everything else. She tried to let go of my hand, but I held on a little tighter. I still didn't know the girl so well, and was still wary, no matter how pure her thoughts seemed. Nessie patted my hand, then tugged hers gently out of mine.

Kendra lifted Renesmee into her arms. I watched and listened very closely, trying to find anything even slightly wrong. Everyone tensed.

Renesmee showed Kendra images of being accepted by us to reassure her.

She tucked Kendra's hair behind ears and smiled. Kendra put her down and kissed her on her cheek. When she stood up, everyone in the room gasped, except for Bella, Renesmee and I, of course.

'...my eyes...' she thought.

It was true, everyone gasped. But Rosalie gasped for a completely different reason.

"Are you okay?" she whispered to her. Everbody's thoughts went wild.

'I saw this just a few seconds ago but to actually see it...' Alice babbled

'Did she just say what I think she said?' Jasper wondered.

'I always knew Rose had a soft spot.' Emmett was about to say this out loud, but before he said a word Kendra stepped in front of Rose. She held out her hand and Rosalie took it willingly. Wow. Kendra lifted her other hand to place it on top of Rosalie's.

"I'm absolutely fine," she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. With only one look into her eyes, Rosalie was seeing what I had to read Kendra's mind to see. Seeing how much sadness she shouldered despite the deceiving smiles she gave. Then, remembering that we didn't know her and that she was a possible danger to us and Renesmee, she dropped Kendra's hand as if it burned her. Kendra tried to hide how much that hurt her and turned around.

"Hello Carlisle" she greeted warmly "I've been looking forward to meeting you." She reached out to shake his hand.

"Wait, you know us?" Emmett said in disbelief.

"Oh, yes. Allow me to explain."

"Of course. Right this way," Carlisle lead us to the dining room and pulled out a chair for Kendra at the head.

"Thank you," she said with a smile. Carlisle smiled back at her.

She sighed. 'Where do I start?' she asked herself.

"From the beginning," I encouraged. She nodded and began her story.

A/N: I apologize for the short chapter as well as the long wait. I've gotten hits but unfortunately no reviews. If review don't start coming in soon I will have no choice but to cancel this story. *Tear* Also this is the third chapter to IF this story reaches it's fifth chapter, that will be when the new story, The Five Senses, will begin.
