!ATTENTION!

HERE IS THE EXPLANATION FOR THE READERS:

First off thanks for reading this story of mine, I hope that you all enjoy it. This is going to have a character that you might call a MARY SUE so please don't feel the need to point that out I know. Now onto business, there will be several OC's in this story. The main OC is called Fae Estella (Clearwater) Swan. Her parents are Elizabeth Clearwater (Harry Clearwater's younger sister) and Hank Swan (Charlie's older twin brother). Hank dies when Fae is four this and several other things causes Elizabeth to leave Fork's and stop talking with her family. Elizabeth and Fae end up in Downey, California and run into Renee and a year old Bella. Elizabeth then ends up going to Phoenix, Arizona where she sets down roots and gets a better job. Renee ends up in Phoenix and Elizabeth and Renee grow closer and encourage their young daughters to grow closer as well. By this time Fae (age 10) had graduated High School and was going to college for an Fine Arts Bachelor Degree. However at the age of 12 Fae was walking with Bella (who was 8) when Fae was kidnapped. Bella managed to get away but she was emotionally scarred from the attempt. Two years later Fae showed up at her mother's door step covered in blood, cuts and scars and only wearing a large overcoat. Fae refused to talk about what had happened to anyone. Bella and Fae grew close and Fae started taking MMA classes as well as finishing her Fine Arts Bachelor Degree and working on to get her Master's Degree which she achieved at the age of 17. Elizabeth began to travel more for her work and Fae started to travel for her MMA competitions. This is where the story will start. Also I will be using some French in this I will put the meanings in English in bold at the end of the chapters. I am using the internet to help translate things into French so if I get some things wrong please forgive my ignorance. Thank you and enjoy.

Dear Isabella,

Hi squirt! I got a place on the team this year and we are off to New York and after several more cities we are heading to Egypt! I can't wait, don't worry I won't forget to get you something from everyplace we stop. Remember that painting of mine that you liked 'Black Sky' it was bought for a good sum of money. Half of which I'm putting in that secret account of yours that we made don't forget our road-trip plans for when you graduate. How's Renee? I have to go don't worry about replying I won't be at this address long enough to get your reply. I would visit you but Renee is still really freaked at my 'influence' over you and my 'irresponsibility' although she is the one who left you in the care of a sixteen year old who had issues….oh well I guess I shouldn't have let you get your belly button pierced but really I don't see the harm. I had it done as well and neither of us got infections. Anyway I will see you the day you turn sixteen as instructed by your angry mother =) I have a long list of things we can do on that day BE PREPARED! Maybe you should tell your mum so she can prepare herself for my arrival. Three years should be plenty of time for her to forgive me since she still hasn't. At least she doesn't know about the matching tattoo I promised to get with you when you turn sixteen ;) If she did I would probably be banned from seeing you for life.

Je t'aime petite soeur,

Fae

"Hurry up Fae! Lewis said he was bringing the bus around in fifteen!" Ray hollered over her shoulder as she dashed around the hotel room drying her waist length black hair with one hand while trying to pack her suitcase with her other hand. I couldn't help but laugh at the sight before sealing the letter I had just finished and writing the address on the envelope before sticking it in my backpack. I cracked my stiff neck and stood up everyone knew better then to not listen to Lewis. He wouldn't wait for anyone if you were late you missed the bus no matter who you were. I shoved my small amount of clothes into the duffel bag that I took everywhere and pulled on my ankle black leather boots and pulled on my black leather jacket over my emerald green tank-top that had a large black skull in the center of it. I almost walked out the door to drop my letter off before realizing that I was still in my pajama pants. I hurriedly slide off my black sweatpants and pulled on my black leather shorts which I had almost forgotten on the hotel bed. After doing a quick check to make sure I had everything I helped Ray finish packing her stuff up and we ran down the two flights of steps and arrived just as Lewis was pulling up to the curb.

"After you madam." I said in my best English accent gesturing for Ray to go first since she had four suitcases. Ray rolled her eyes at my accent which I do admit was terrible before she slowly started her way up the bus steps. By the time Ray finally got all three of her suitcases up the tour bus steps everyone else from the group had made their way to the curb and were waiting behind me. After half an hour everyone was finally on board and all out suitcases and duffel-bags as well as backpacks were stored away and we were off to New York. After arriving in New York I realized that I hadn't sent out my letter to Isabella or as I nick-named her squirt so during the break time Lewis gave us I left the hotel and headed for the nearest post office. Surprisingly it didn't take me to long to find the post office although I was surprised by where it was placed. On the right side of it there was a dark alleyway filled with trash and on the left side of it an apartment building that looked pretty trashed. I tried to dispel the creepy feeling that I was getting and hurriedly conducted my business. Two minutes later I was back outside only to find out that it was extremely hard to get a taxi so I decided to start walking. I had to pass by the trash lined alleyway and as I was walking past it a stench hit my nose that caused me to take a step back. It wasn't the smell of rotting garbage or throw-up which I had no doubt the alleyway was full of but instead it smelt like someone had mixed bleach and buckets full of sugar together and then burnt them. I almost vomited but forcefully swallowed down the bile that had risen to the back of my throat before I hurried across the alleyway. I felt a slight breeze brush across the back of my neck as I did so but I shrugged off the feeling as I continued my journey back to the hotel or at least until I could get a taxi.

When I finally made it back to the hotel I had thirty-seven minutes to spare so I decided to see if Ray, Lin, Alana, Quin and Pam wanted to hang out, they were the other members of my MMA age group. We passed the time and won our respective fights however I began to notice that there was something wrong with me. I had violent fits of rage, Ray freaked out when she was sparing with me because I literally growled at her. Lin and Alana thought that I was just moody from missing my home however when Alana went to slap my back she freaked out. Telling me that I had a fever I felt fine though although my senses seemed to start to sharpen and I started to grow in length and I was constantly hungry. Quin and Pam thought I was just acting out to get Lewis's attention and started being rude to me but Ray, Lin and Alana became better friends with me. Two months passed and we were in Egypt for our final fights which we all won the first rounds of. Lewis was so pleased that he gave us the rest of the night to do whatever we pleased as long as we stayed in a group and were back at the hotel by 2 a.m. We decided to explore some tombs even Quin and Pam were excited and didn't make as many snarky comments as usual. Instead of going to tombs that were lit up and protected we decided to sneak out to the desert and enter abandoned tombs.

We split into pairs Quin and Pam, Ray and Alana and Lin and myself and after making sure we all had flash-lights, our cell phones and a decided time to meet up again we separated and that is when things went fou! Lin and I were walking down the tomb path joking around and not really paying attention to where we were walking. An hour and twenty minutes later we realized that we were pretty much lost and that's when I heard an animalistic snarl coming from the pathway in front of us. I looked up and saw red eyes glaring back at me, "Lin…" I let my voice trail off I wasn't sure what to say all I knew was I couldn't turn my back on it, whatever it was. Then my body started to shake and vibrate and I felt like I was going to explode then the red eyes launched towards me and I did explode. All of my senses exploded into overdrive I could see, feel, hear and smell everything and for a second I did nothing then my eyes latched onto the pale reeking creature with red eyes that was looking me over and instincts set in. I attacked the creature only realizing after I had ripped its head off that its head had been ripped off with my mouth meaning my mouth had grown into epic proportions. I started to freak out wondering what the heck had happened when I noticed that I was standing on all fours.

"Impossible….does this mean….the legends that mother told me at bedtime…they were real? I'm…I'm a shape-shifter. That means that this thing is a 'Cold One' a vampire….are all legends true?"

All of the sudden the pieces of the vampire that I had ripped apart were set up in flames I jerked my head around and saw to my huge surprise Lin looking at me with surprise, fear, confusion, and awe holding a ball of fire in his hands. "Whoa!" Was all Lin said, I nodded my head in agreement with him and we walked towards the tomb entrance which my now extreme nose could find without problem however I heard someone hollering for help and I slowly started jogging towards the voice going down a different pathway. Lin followed me in a run barley staying close to me and I smelt the same nasty bleach and sugar combo scent that the vampire I had just dismantled had reeked of I ran leaving Lin in the dust. I found the metallic scent of blood permeating the air as I ran down corridors towards the voice that was growing faint. I went into an extreme rage at the sight that lay before me Pam's body was missing its legs and its arms her head was barley attached to neck blood was everywhere as was the scent I knew was vampires. Quin's scent was faint and I knew he must have abandoned Pam and ran. I chased after his scent and found and after several minutes and another vampire later I found him. He still had all of his limbs but there were several bite marks all over his body that smelt like vampire and he had no heartbeat. I heard a hissing and jumped to the left avoiding the vampire that had been coming up behind me. I ripped it apart feeling a malicious joy in doing so before I left hurrying back the way I came. I didn't want Lin all alone with those creatures in the tomb. I found Lin and after he set the two vampire corpses on fire and placed Quin and Pam in the deep pit that I dug for them and set them on fire we left searching for Ray and Alana.

We got to Ray and Alana just in time and while Lin calmed down the girls about the fact that there was a giant white wolf ripping apart the creatures that looked human I dismembered the three vampire's that had been circling the girls. I got hit several times and I know I heard some of my bones break but I kept fighting and finally came out on top. Lin set fire to the remains and we walked to the tomb exit. We reached the exit and thankfully it was night out however I realized that we had several problems. One all four of us were going into shock, two there were only four of us, three I was a freaking huge wolf, four I had no idea how to change back into my human form, five I had just discovered vampires were real, six I had just dismembered six of them, seven Lin had created fire and used it, eight I was a freaking huge wolf, nine when I did phase back I was going to be butt naked. It couldn't have been more then several minutes when I heard what sounded like several large animals coming towards out small group. Immediately I stood up and snarled in the direction I heard the animals coming from, I sensed the other three looking at me in confusion however their confusion turned to fear when they heard an answering snarl. Four large sand colored wolves walked towards us, I could see differences in their fur color as they got closer. And I knew two were male and two were female but other then that I knew nothing so I snapped my teeth at them and growled. "That's far enough, unless you want me to rip your throats out!" I thought hoping all of the legend was true. "We will not harm you or your friends we came to help, although it appears we were not needed." A strong female voice said. She then told me how to change back and I told her I wasn't going to be butt naked in front of strangers. One of the males changed into his human form and pulled on a pair of shorts before he spoke to my friends.

We followed them into the desert and to a small well hidden oasis where I was given a pair of shorts and a T-shirt before we all sat down to a fire and talked. Their names were Ana who was the Alpha, her twin sister Ani and their mates Ramessu and Reseph. They had been the protectors over this particular part of the desert for over twenty years they all looked in their late teens. They asked about us to which the following was told. "My name is Fae I am two weeks from my 18th birthday and I am a shape-shifter." "My name is Lin I am 18 and I am a Fire Bender." "My name is Alana I am 17 and I am a normal human." "My name is Ray I am 18 and I am an Air Bender."

The sun was starting to rise over the horizon when we said our goodbyes to the Egyptian pack and headed back towards the city practicing our story so it was the same. Quin and Pam had ventured off on their own and after a couple of hours we got worried so we went to look for them and got lost in the desert until the sun came up and we saw the city over the sand. After that we grew even closer together and on agreement we all stopped taking MMA classes because they reminded us of Quin and Pam. As the months passed and I began to paint more frequently and my one account split into several accounts that were bulging. So I decided to go back to college for an Associate's Degree in Culinary Arts which I completed within two years. I stopped in and visited Bella on her sixteenth birthday and we went to Paris for the weekend and we got matching secret tattoos on our right hips a silver rose that had a small red and purple butterfly sitting on it. Then I decided to travel the world and Ray, Alana and Lin came along with me and we traveled non-stop for several months until I got a call from Charlie who was freaking out. Apparently Bella's boyfriend had dumped her and broke her heart and she was in a very depressed state and had been since October. He had gotten my number from Renee who I had given it to when we went to Pairs and Renee thought I would be able to help Bella. I said my goodbyes since the three wanted to stay in Hawaii and I hopped on a plane to Forks, Washington. Nine hours later I was knocking on my Uncle Charlie's door with my duffel bag full of summer clothes and thanking the Lord that I had a higher body temperature then normal people because I was only wearing a purple tank-top and a pair of black leather shorts with black flip-flops in November. I heard Charlie's heavy footsteps coming towards the door and took a step back waiting for him. When he finally opened the door I could see he didn't recognize me and I didn't hold it against him the last time he had seen me was at my dad's funeral my mother had forbidden Renee from calling him when I had been kidnapped. "Hi uncle Charlie." I said I saw his surprise before I leaned forward and hugged him quickly. "Fae, it's been a while." I nodded and stepped inside as he moved out of the way. "She's in her bedroom, up the stairs first door on the left." Charlie said I nodded and took off my flip-flops letting them by Charlie's fishing boots before I made my way upstairs. I gave a single knock on the door and not hearing anything except a heartbeat I opened it and closed the door behind me. "Hey squirt is that anyway to great someone who just flew from Hawaii and handsome half-naked men to see you in the wettest place in the continental US?" I jokingly said. Bella's head whipped around so fast I thought for sure it would snap then she was out of her chair and in my arms sobbing into my shoulder.

I let her cry and when she was done I had her tell me everything I knew at first she was hesitant so I decided to let her in on a little secret. "Bella I'm a shape-shifter I can tell what a vampire smells like and your room although faint smells like vampire." I told her bluntly I hated vampires but I wasn't going to shove my prejudice onto Bella. "You're a what?" Bella asked so I explained to her about the whole shape-shifter thing and then my stomach growled demanding food and to Bella's surprise her stomach gave a little growl of its' own. "Come on I'll make dinner you make desert, just like old times." I said with a smile. Bella gave me a half-hearted grin back and nodded. Charlie looked amazed when he saw Bella coming down the steps behind me but he just gave me a nod and went back to his TV show giving us some space. I dug around in the freezer and found pork chops and there were potatoes and vegetables in the pantry so that's what we had for supper, and for desert Bella made maple and peanut butter flavored fudge. Then Bella and I cleaned up to my chagrin there was no left over's however Charlie and Bella were full so I put away my embarrassment and made a mental note to buy groceries. I made some of my secret hot cocoa and Bella and I went back up to her room and Bella told me everything. From the first day of school when she first saw the Cullen's to the day that Edward had dumped her and left her in the forest. I was silent as she spoke letting her get everything out of her system and in the wee hours of the morning Bella finished. We brushed our teeth and I told Bella to take the bed since I was going to use her laptop to email Lin. Bella reluctantly lay down and I quickly emailed Lin before Bella whispered my name. I turned and saw her sit up her body trembling in exhaustion and instantly I left the chair and was on the bed. I didn't bother getting under the covers knowing that I would get to hot under the three layers of blankets she had. Immediately she snuggled into me and after a few minutes I began to hum a Celtic lullaby I had heard called Sleepsong then I started to softly singing it out-loud.

Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby

Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay

And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune

With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet

And may you need never to banish misfortune

May you find kindness in all that you meet

[Chorus:]

May there always be angels to watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you safe from all harm

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

May you bring love and may you bring happiness

Be loved in return to the end of your days

Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you

I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay

[Chorus]

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...

I fell asleep and we both slept peacefully until my inner alarm clock woke me up at the crack of dawn. I yawned and stretched before opening my eyes to great the new day. After a minute of just laying there I got up and checked my emails Lin had gotten me the information I wanted. I put the number in my phone before signing out of my email and taking a quick shower and ordering some clothes more appropriate for Forks weather online. Then I headed downstairs putting on a pot of coffee and making sausage scrambled eggs and biscuits for breakfast. When the food was ready I went up and got Bella up Charlie had smelt the food and was down at the table eating already. I got Bella to eat two biscuits before I drove her to school then headed into Port Angeles to buy groceries.

The next chapter will start the fun!
