The next day, I woke up to snow covering the yard. I smiled, today is perfect. I dressed in traditionally warm clothes and pulled a beanie over my head. I whipped Bella up a quick breakfast for Bella, which she hastily ate. "You seem eager to go to school." I commented. "You usually hate anything school-related."

"Guess today's just one of those days." Bela replied with a mouthful of food. I laughed lightly as I cleaned up. When she finished, I ussured her outside and into the truck. Bella drove again today, being extra careful on the icy road. We got to school in no time. I got out of the truck and shuffled to the back. I noticed that Charlie had put snow chains on the truck. He's a godsend. I smiled at the sentiment when my ears picked up a strange noise. I turned my head and saw a car headed straight at Bella. Before I could react, Edward appeared, moving Bella out of the way so she wouldn't be crushed by the blue van. Edward then lifted his hands, and the van stopped a foot from Bella's face, two handprints the only indication of what had happened.

"Bella!" I screamed. I hopped into the bed of the truck and clambered over to where Bella and Edward were. "Bella, are you ok?" I asked, gently helping Bella sit up.

"I'm fine." Bella groaned.

"Be careful." Edward warned, "I think you hit your head pretty hard."

"Oww…"

"That's what I thought." Edward sounded like he was trying to suppress a laugh. I sent him a harsh glare.

"How in the…how did you get over here so fast?"

"I was standing right next to you, Bella."

"Don't move." Someone instructed.

"Get Tyler out of the van!" Someone else shouted.

"Just stay put for now." Edward ordered.

"But it's cold." Bella complained. "You were over there. You were by your car."

"No, I wasn't."

"I saw you."

"Bella, Edward was standing right next to us." I said gently. "He managed to pull you out of the way." I had no choice but to play along with Edward's story, as ludicrous as it was.

"No." Bella argued, turning to me, "He was over by his car!"

"Bella, just drop it for now, ok?"

"Will you promise to explain everything to me later?" Bella asked, turning back to Edward.

"Fine." Edward snapped. From what I could see, it took eight people to move the van away from the truck to be able to bring a stretcher in. Edward refused his, and Bella tried to as well.

"Give her a stretcher." I said, "She hit her head." Bella glared up at me. They strapped a neck brace onto Bella when she was safely on the stretcher. I heard the familiar sound of police sirens as Charlie arrived on the scene.

"Bella!" He yelled in panic when he saw Bella on the stretcher.

"I'm completely fine, Char-Dad." Bella sighed. "There's nothing wrong with me." I was able to hop in the back of the ambulance with Bella as Edward hopped in the front. We made our way to the hospital. I, unfortunately, wasn't able to go into Emergency with Bella, so I waited outside. I saw Rosalie pull into the parking lot and walked into the hospital. She met up with Edward and some other man. They started to talk in harsh whispers. I stalked up to the whispering Cullen's.

"You stupid idiot!" I hissed at Edward. "You almost exposed our kind by saving my sis-Bella!"

"Wait, so you're-" Rosalie started.

"What Edward did was completely out of line." I cut in, "I was next to her, I could have saved her without causing too much suspicion. Bella trust's me. If I were to tell her that it was nothing, then she'd believe that."

"Alexandria." Carlisle greeted. "It's lovely to see you again."

"Likewise, Carlisle." I sighed, "However I wish it were under better circumstances." I ran my hand through my long hair, "I'll meet you and your coven later tonight, at your place. We can discuss the situation with Bella then, away from prying ears." Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder,

"Of course, sister." I nodded. I turned and walked away. I found Charlie and together, we waited for Bella to exit the waiting room. I stood when Bella exited.

"There's nothing wrong with me." She assured as Charlie and I approached.

"What did the doctor say?" Charlie asked.

"Doctor Cullen saw me, and he said I was fine and I could go home. Let's go." I wrapped my arm around Bella's shoulders as I lead her out of the hospital. I ussured her into the back of the cruiser, slipping in after her. Bella leant her head on my shoulder as we made our way away from the hospital. The ride home was silent. Charlie finally said something when we got home.

"Um...you'll need to call Renée." He admitted, hanging his head slightly.

"You told mum!" Bella exclaimed.

"Sorry…" Bella got out of the cruiser and slammed the door. I shook my head and followed Bella out of the car, closing the door more gently and followed her into the house. I cooped myself up in my room when I got upstairs. For about half an hour, Renée begged Bella for the two of us to come home. I sighed and sat on the bed, knowing I was gonna be in for a long ride.

TIMESKIP

When night fell, I snuck out of my window and I ran to the Cullen household. Their scent lingered in the woods, leading me to a large house. It was old, not surprisingly. It was painted a soft, faded white and was three stories tall. It was rectangular and well proportioned. It was very open. As I approached the door, it opened to reveal Carlisle. "Brother." I greeted.

"Sister." He replied, nodding his head. He moved aside and gestured for me to enter his house. I followed the sounds of hisses to a large dining room. The entire table fell silent at my appearance. There was one person I didn't recognise. She had caramel hair, with pale skin and gold eyes like the rest of the Vampires at the table. I noticed Edward wasn't there, and I wondered where he was.

"Greetings all." I said, clasping my hands in front of me, "I assume you've all been notified of who I am."

"Not really." Rosalie muttered.

"My name is Alexandria Leste. I'm one of Carlisle's old friends."

"How is it only now you show up?" Emmett asked.

"It was honestly a huge coincidence." I sighed, "By now I'm sure your aware that I've been living with the Swan's for a while, to be quite frank I've only known them for a month and a half before moving to Forks. I'll only be with them until Graduation, then I'll find another family. I...I've had many families in my long life, sometimes I don't have any siblings but when I do, I'm quite protective over them. You can live your life however you wish, but please, do not tell Bella of our world. She doesn't need to bear the weight on her shoulders."

"Of course." Carlisle said, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you."

"How did you and Carlisle meet?" Jasper asked.

"I met Carlisle almost three hundred years ago." I started to explain, taking a seat at the table. Carlisle sat as well next to the unknown brunette, who I assume is his Mate. "I was helping a small coven of vampires in London at the time, a group of Pastors were trying to hunt us, and I kept moving us. Carlisle, when he was human, found us. We had to flee, and one of the coven members attacked him. Once I had gotten the Coven to safety, I returned and found Carlisle, feeding on animals. I helped him learn the ways of our kind, and then sent him on his way."

"Alexandria was the very first Vampire to tell me that I didn't have feed on Humans." Carlile agreed.

"So what, how old are you?" Emmet asked, crossing his arms.

"I was changed in thirteen-forty-six...so that would make me six-hundred and fifty-nine this year." I told them. The Cullens gave a collective blink. I looked out the window and saw the sun starting to weave through the trees. "It's getting early, I need to get home before Charlie realises that I'm gone."
