Chapter 1

Okay this is one of my first fan fictions so please keep that in mind when you're reading, I hope you like it :):)

Jasper POV

It was dusk and Rose, Esme and I had just finished hunting and we were on our way back home.

"Esme, do you smell that?" I heard Rose, behind me ask.

"Yeah, I do, it smells like burning flesh, and blood, a lot of it too" Esme replied thoughtfully. It was then that we heard the terrified scream of a young child. I stopped in my tracks and ran towards where the scream came from.

"Jasper, what are you doing?" Rose screamed at me.

"I have to find out what's going on. It doesn't seem right," I replied. I was running as fast as I could and I made my way out of the trees and directly on front of me was a house on fire. I heard the scream again. It came from upstairs in the window nearest me. A second later Rose and Esme were beside me.

"I'm going in," I said stubbornly as I started to move forwards, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"No you can't, the house is about to collapse." Esme said.

"Esme, there is a child in that house," I said angrily, "Do you want to just wait and let them die" I said and I ran forward and leapt into the slightly open window.

What I saw before me was a horrifying sight; there were two bodies on the floor, surrounded by blood, a male and female. I turned around and in the corner, sobbing, a young girl. She was beautiful with shoulder length, mahogany brown hair, big, dark brown eyes, and only looked around three or four years of age. I walked towards her and bent down so I was level with her.

"Hello, I'm Jasper; I'm going to help you." I said softly but quickly as I could hear the walls and floors beginning to collapse. "Come with me and I'll take you out of here."

The little girl cautiously stood up and walked towards me. I scooped her up in my arms and jumped out the window, just in time, as the house collapsed behind me.

Bella POV

A man came in when mummy and daddy were singing me to sleep.

"Hello," he said.

Mummy and Daddy turned around.

"Who are-"daddy said.

I watched the man hit mummy and daddy. Then they were on the ground and there was blood next to them. I was scared of the man and I cried and screamed.

"Shut up" the man yelled at me and I cried more.

"I said, SHUT UP" the man yelled at me loudly and then he kicked me. I hit the wall. My head hurt. The man hit me on the face and then he ran away. I was hurting lots. I could smell fire. I was scared and mummy and daddy weren't getting up. I asked them to get up and stop the fire but they didn't. There was a huge bang downstairs and then the fire was bigger. I screamed again. I started to get even more scared. I went to mummy and gave her a big hug. Mummy still didn't wake up. I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, another man was in front of me; he turned around and looked at me. He bent down so he could see me.

"Hello, I'm Jasper; I'm going to help you." He said it quietly. He sounded nice, but I was still scared. "Come with me and I'll take you out of here." I didn't want him to hurt me like the other man was going to so I stood up slowly and walked towards him. He picked me up gently and cuddled me in his arms the way mummy does when I'm tired or scared. I closed my eyes because I was tired.

Rose POV

"Jasper, No!" I screamed at him.

Jasper jumped into the upstairs window where the young child's scream came from. I was slightly angry at him, but I didn't know why. It was so out of character for him as he usually stayed away from any human especially children. I turned to face Esme and she looked just as confused as I did.

I heard Jasper's voice clearly through the noise of the fire,

"Hello, I'm Jasper; I'm going to help you." He was speaking softly, obviously to the child, I heard the poor child sobbing loudly and their heartbeat was faster when Jasper spoke to her. I heard walls collapsing inside the house and prayed that he would hurry; the house would collapse any second.

"Come with me and I'll take you out of here." I heard Jasper say. Seconds later Jasper jumped out the window with his arms cradling a young girl, who looked about three or four. She looked like she was fast asleep. The house collapsed and we ran towards the forest before anyone saw us.

Esme POV

I watched as my son jumped into a burning building to save a young child he didn't know. I was shocked and worried. That house could collapse at any second and he would be seriously injured. Sure we were vampires so it was unlikely, but I didn't want anything to happen to him. I heard Jasper talking to the child in the house trying to convince her to trust him. A minute later, Jasper jumped out the window holding a darling little girl. The house collapsed and we ran off into the forest. We stopped running and I turned to face my son.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, I nearly had a heart attack." I scolded him. I looked at the little girl in his arms. She was so beautiful. With brown hair and an angelic face she was adorable even asleep. She was grubby and had ash and dirt on her face. Her hands, feet and clothes were covered in blood.

"Jasper what happened?" Rosalie asked in shock.

"Vampire" he said simply, but then continued, "Her parents were lying dead on the floor blood everywhere, and she obviously witnessed it all. I don't know her name; I didn't have time for introductions."

I took the girl out of his arms cradling her gently trying not to wake her.

"We should get her home and cleaned up." I said watching her sleep.

"Wait what are we going to do? We can't just take her away," Rose said.

"Well we'll figure it out later." I answered.

We ran towards our house and she slept soundly in my arms all the way home.

Alice POV

I couldn't wait until Jasper got home; I hadn't seen him in two days. I had decided that, to keep myself occupied, I would spring clean my cupboard. I passed the lounge room where Emmett and Edward watched some mindless football game. Carlisle was at work and Esme and Rose were out hunting with Jasper. I made my way to my closet which was the largest of all of them when I had a vision.

"Jasper, No!" Rosalie screamed as she and Esme watched Jasper jump into a burning house.

"Hello, I'm Jasper; I'm going to help you." Jasper said, "Come with me and I'll take you out of here." Jasper jumped out the window and walked towards Rosalie and Esme as the house collapsed seconds later… "Don't you ever do that to me again, I nearly had a heart attack." Esme told him. A little girl slept peacefully in his arms. She was extremely beautiful.

"Jasper what happened?" Rosalie asked in shock.

"Vampire" he said, "her parents were lying dead on the floor, blood everywhere, and she obviously witnessed it. I don't know her name; I didn't have time for introductions."

Esme took the girl out of Jasper's arms cradling her gently.

"We should get her home and cleaned up." Esme said watching her sleep.

"Wait, what are we going to do? We can't just take her away," Rose said.

"Well we'll figure it out later." Esme answered…

"Oh no, as if we need more trouble" Emmett's voice boomed from the lounge room.

I assumed Edward had told him what I had just seen. I ran down the stairs and stood in front of the TV so Emmett would have to pay attention to me. He snarled and glared at me but I ignored it.

"I'm going to call Carlisle and tell him to pick some stuff up for the little girl on his way home." I said. "Emmett she is absolutely gorgeous, you'll love her" I said to him.

"What's her name?" Emmett asked.

"I don't know Jasper didn't ask her, he was in a hurry to get out of the house," I answered.

I walked off towards the kitchen where I had left the phone. I dialled the number and a second later Carlisle had answered.

"Hello Alice, what's wrong?" He said, I told him the story of my vision. "We'll need stuff for her. Can you get everything a three year old would need?" I asked him. "Sure, I'll do my best, but what about clothes; no department store is going to be open at this time?" Carlisle enquired.

"Just get some underwear and we'll dress her in some old clothes, I'll find something," I assured him. "Of course you can" he said with a small laugh. "Carlisle, please can we keep her?" I begged, I always wanted a little sister to play with and dress up.

"Alice, we will have this discussion later with the whole family," Carlisle said.

"Alright, see you soon," I replied and hung up the phone.

Emmett POV

"Jasper No!" I heard Alice scream at the top of her little pixie lungs.

"Edward what's going on?" I asked. He gave me a play-by-play of Alice's vision.

"Oh no, as if we need more trouble" I complained loudly. I shook my head and turned my attention back to the TV, a second later Alice was in front of me, blocking my view. I snarled and glared at her.

"I'm going to call Carlisle and tell him to pick some stuff up for the little girl on his way home." Alice told me. "Emmett she is absolutely gorgeous, you'll love her" Alice tried to convince me.

"What's her name?" I asked.

"I don't know Jasper didn't ask her, he was in a hurry to get out of the house." Alice answered. Alice walked off towards the kitchen and I turned back to the television. Great. The game had finished and I had missed it. I thought about Rose, my soul mate. This little girl, she would obviously be delighted to look after her even if it was only temporary. This was what Rose missed the most, she had always wanted children and it hurt me that I couldn't give it to her. Esme would want to look after the girl to; she had always wanted children, and made do with us for substitutes. I heard Alice on the phone

"Carlisle, please can we keep her?" I heard her ask desperately. Surprising, she had never wanted children.

"Alice, we will have this discussion later with the whole family," I heard Carlisle reply.

Most of us had never even met the child and they already wanted to keep her. I knew that. I knew that if it came to a vote Carlisle would do anything to make Esme happy and so would Jasper. And me for that matter. I wondered about Edward, what would he vote?

"NO" I heard him answer me from his room. "A house full of vampires and a little girl, you do the math's Emmett." He said loudly.

It can't hurt to not tell her. I thought. Edward sighed loudly upstairs.

Edward POV

I walked upstairs to my room after to explaining to Emmett Alice's vision. Alice told us she was going to call Carlisle to bring home some supply's for the little girl. I entered my bedroom and sat down on my sofa. I heard Alice downstairs begging Carlisle to keep the little girl whose name we didn't even know. I didn't know why I was so against the little girl on staying with us, I just had a bad feeling.

I heard Emmett's thoughts; he too, was thinking about the little girl.

What would Edward vote?

"No" I said loudly answering his thought. "A house full of vampires and a little girl, you do the maths Emmett" I said.

It can't hurt to not tell her he thought. I sighed. That was one problem but another, more pressing problem was bothering me. I heard Alice rustling around in her closet to find something to change the girl into. I didn't know what to do, I felt uneasy with the arrival of a little girl I had never met before so I turned on one of my favourites, Clair de Lune by Debussy. It relaxed me just like I had wanted it to. It was 8:00 when I heard the arrival of Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and the little girl. I heard her heart beat and it was slow, she was still asleep. Alice had rushed downstairs desperate to see the little girl in real life. Emmett got up from the couch and walked towards the door to greet Rose. As I made my way downstairs I heard the arrival of Carlisle's Mercedes. I heard the rustling of the bags Carlisle was carrying inside; I heard the gasping and admiring of the little girl. I read the thoughts of everyone around me.

Alice: Oh my god what an adorable little girl, she's so much cuter in real life.

Rose: I wish I could keep her. This is a once in a life time shot, I could be a mother.

Jasper: I know Alice wants to keep her, I can see it in her face, I love this little girl already, and I don't even know her name.

Emmett: Wow. Alice was right; this little kid is so cute.

Esme: Look at her, sleeping, she looks like a little angel.

Carlisle: I hope she's okay and she isn't injured or anything.

Yes, I could hear everybody's thoughts; except for the little girls.

Sorry about repeating it over and over again, I thought that each character had their own views on the matter and that they should all get a chance to say what they feel.

Anyway please review I want to know whether I should keep writing or not

Thanks,
