So, here is my brand new twilight fanfiction! I just got the idea randomly, and now I'm going to run with it. It is a Carlisle/OC in which Esme does exist, but has never been with Carlisle in a romantic way. I have many, many plans for our dear Esme, so do not fret! She has not been forgotten. I have also altered the timeline and switched certain roles of Stephanie Meyer's beloved series to suit my needs. That being said, I do NOT own Twilight or any of the characters you may recognize. I only own my OC and the plot behind her. I hope you enjoy, and please review!

As the clock struck midnight on a cold autumn day, a fair haired mother and dark haired father welcomed into this world a young girl. Without making a single sound, the child was feared to have been a still born, but mere moments after she was born, her eyes opened and the nurses fussing over her gave a quiet gasp. The ice blue eyes stared up at them with so much focus that they found themselves slightly unnerved. Against her pale face and the small tuft of pitch black hair, her eyes stood out even more. If they hadn't watched the child being born, they would have sworn that she was not the parent's child, but alas, she was.

After being cleaned and clothed, the young girl was returned to her mother's tired arms, her father hovering over the pair with wonder and concern. The two new parent's shared a look, knowing already that they're new born was unique, but both already loved her more than they thought capable. The child had quite obviously taken after her father's side of the family, and had inherited her unnervingly blue eyes from her great-grandmother on his side. Due to this uncanny resemblance she held to the long since deceased woman, the young child was given the name of her as well. From that moment on, she would be known as Evelyn Grey Swan.

A little over a year later, Isabella Marie Swan was born. Evelyn, already walking and talking like that of a five year old, was instantly protective of her little sister. The small child with brown hair and dark brown eyes had wrapped herself around Evelyn's little, chubby fingers. It was almost comical how Evelyn could know exactly what Isabella wanted. Whenever she needed to be fed, Evelyn would tell her hair-brained mother right before Isabella would cry for food. Whenever Isabella would have trouble sleeping, the dark haired toddler would carefully stroke her younger sister's hair in a soothing manner, before the infant could wake. Renee and Charlie both saw how the two interacted, even from such a young age, and knew they would be inseparable.

By the time Evelyn's fourth birthday had come and gone, Renee and Charlie had gone from young lovebirds to mortal enemies. Their fighting affected both of their children, and soon, Evelyn found herself wandering the forest in their backyard to escape the loud exchanges of her parents. She never strayed far, always heeding the warning her father had given her at two. It was on one of those small excursions that her whole life changed.

Her mother had started a fight with her father over his inability to write milk on the grocery list when he finished off the rest of the container, again. Evelyn brought Isabella to her room and sat her on the floor with a few toys to keep her occupied, before putting on her favorite pair of bright red dress shoes with small glittery bows. Grabbing her white button-up coat off the back of her desk chair, Evelyn quietly made her way downstairs and out the back door. The forest was quiet, as always, with only the sounds of various wildlife to keep her company. She walked a little ways into the forest, making sure she stayed in a straight line so she could find her way back home, before coming to a stop in front of a small stream.

Kicking a small pebble into the calm water, Evelyn was mesmerized by the ripple effect. So mesmerized in fact, that she didn't hear the deer running her way. The deer, seemingly running for its life, bumped into the small girl, sending her straight into the water. Luckily, the stream was exceptionally shallow, but the initial fear of being thrown into the water scared the child stiff. Not even bothering to try and move out of the water, Evelyn began to panic. She would end up dead in a shallow stream, and her parent's would never find her. The fear shook the poor girl to the core, causing her thoughts to scream out for help.

Within moments, her prayers had been answered as she was lifted from the water by a pair of pale hands. The woman holding her had caramel colored hair and gold eyes filled with concern. Holding Evelyn close to her chest and whispering comforting words into her ear, Evelyn slowly started to relax against the stranger. A sudden feeling of calm rushed through her, causing her shaking to stop and for her to look up at the strangers behind the woman. There were seven of them, including the caramel haired woman, all with the same pale skin, and almost all of them with gold eyes. One of them, a tall, blonde haired man dressed in nice pants and a blue button up shirt, had dark, almost black, eyes.

Looking away from the man's slightly scary eyes, Evelyn took in the rest of the group. There was a beautiful blonde haired woman standing with a large, short haired man. Then a small, short haired girl that looked like a pixie with a tall, long haired guy. On the other side of the slightly scary blonde haired guy, stood a tall, lean, copper haired boy. All of them, even the slightly scary man, were giving Evelyn small smiles, trying to put her at ease. The caramel haired woman that was still holding Evelyn close slowly put her down, then took off her drenched, white coat, and replaced it with the woman's pretty, black jacket.

"Are you alright?" The woman asked. Evelyn couldn't do more than nod at the beautiful woman, a light blush covering her pale cheeks. Evelyn knew she should have been able to pull herself out of the shallow water, but the fear had paralyzed her.

"It's okay to be scared, you know. Anyone would have been scared had that happened to them," the copper haired boy said. Feeling slightly miffed that he had seen straight through her, Evelyn's cheeks got even redder. The large guy gave a loud laugh when she blushed, causing Evelyn to jump in surprise. Even the caramel haired woman gave a small chuckle at that. Suddenly, the short girl skipped forward leaning down to hug Evelyn.

"Hello Evie! It is so great to finally meet you!" The excitement was practically rolling off the spiky haired girl in waves. Evelyn, too stunned to hug the stranger back, merely stood still until she let her go. "My name's Alice. The woman who saved you is Esme. Over there is Emmett," the large man gave an enthusiastic wave, which Evelyn smiled at, "and next to him is Rosalie." The beautiful blonde smiled warmly at Evelyn, causing Evelyn to deem her as a nice lady. The copper haired boy gave a quiet snort at that moment, making the beautiful blonde roll her eyes. "The man next to Rosalie is Jasper, my husband." The man in question gave a small smile and a tiny wave. "Next to him is Carlisle, and then Edward."

Evelyn looked to the blonde haired man Alice called Carlisle, noticing his eyes were now slightly lighter than their earlier pitch black. He smiled at her gently, most likely trying not to scare her again. While his eyes were still dark, and definitely still scary, they held a warmth that even the small child could see. Evelyn barely acknowledged the copper haired boy Alice said was Edward, before turning back to Carlisle. There was something about him that called to her, but she had no idea what it was.

"Evie? Evelyn?" Alice called her name once more, causing the dark haired child to blush again and turn her gaze to the short haired pixie.

"Why do you call me Evie?" Evelyn, curious about how the girl knew her name in the first place, decided to just ask an easier question.

"Because that's your name, silly." Evelyn frowned at that. Her name wasn't Evie. The copper haired boy laughed, but managed to pass it off as a cough.

"No, my name is Evelyn." Everyone laughed at her childlike tone. It was as if she was trying to teach the spiky haired woman how to pronounce her name. Alice gave a bell like laugh.

"I know your name is Evelyn, but I'm going to call you Evie, okay?" Evelyn managed a shrug, not really caring what the odd woman wanted to call her.

"What are you doing in the forest?" It was the large man's turn to reply.

"What were you doing in the forest?" Evelyn rolled her eyes, knowing that he was just avoiding the question.

"Mom and dad were fighting again. I always walk in the forest when they fight."

"Do they fight a lot?" It was the scary man, Carlisle, who asked that. Evelyn frowned once more, before nodding. It seemed like fight was all her parents ever did any more. Her mother hated the dreary town, and her father refused to move. Carlisle moved closer to her, allowing her a better look at his eyes. They were still dark, but compared to before, they were a lot lighter. He knelt down in front of the small girl, getting closer to her height, all the while looking her in the eyes. "Everything will be alright, Evelyn. I promise." Carlisle smiled at her, causing her to smile back. The entire family stood behind them, watching and smiling at their interaction. Esme stepped forward, resting her hand on Evelyn's shoulder.

"It's getting late, and you're still soaking wet. Maybe we should get you back home so you can dry off." Evelyn nodded at the woman, knowing her parents would notice her absence soon. Carlisle stood to his full height held out his hand to Evelyn. Giving a shy grin at the blonde haired man, she accepted his hand and they began the walk back to her house. When they reached the edge of the forest, her house standing out against the dark sky, Carlisle dropped his hand and crouched next to Evelyn.

"We have to go now, Evelyn, and you need to get dry." Evelyn nodded at the man, then turned to the others. One by one, each of them came forward and hugged the small girl, whispering their goodbyes in her ears. Emmett, ever the goofball, swung her up in his arms and spun on the spot. When he finally put Evelyn down, she was laughing so hard she almost fell to the ground. However, before she could hit the unforgiving forest floor, Carlisle reached out and caught her. Looking up at the, now light eyed, man Evelyn smiled at him, then wrapped her arms around his neck. He smelled nice, like honey and freshly washed clothes. When she pulled back, she was almost surprised at the amount of emotion in his golden eyes.

"Will I ever see you again?" Evelyn frowned at the man, feeling sadness fill her heart.

"Of course, Evelyn. Nothing will keep us from meeting again, I promise." The conviction in his tone, mirrored in his eyes, held no room for doubt. With one last smile and a small wave at the group of beautiful people, Evelyn made her way back into the home. It was only after the dark haired child had changed into dry clothes that she realized she still had the black jacket Esme had given to her. Evelyn figured she would return the jacket the next time she saw the woman, so she wasn't too bothered.

It was the next morning when Renee decided she couldn't take it anymore. Packing up all of her and her children's belongings, she uprooted them and took them to Arizona. Evelyn never forgot her friends, no matter how old she got. She even confided in Isabella, now going by Bella, that she had met strangers in the forest. From the moment she returned to her house the night she met the strangers, she had started requesting everyone call her Evie. Her mother, at first shocked by her sudden name change, eventually got used to it, and the nickname stuck. Now, at eighteen years old, Evie had grown into a beautiful young adult. Having long since grown taller, she now fit into the black jacket Esme gave her. That jacket was her most prized possession, because it reminded her that they were, in fact, real. Her long, pitch black hair had lost most of its curl, but still had a slight wave at the end. The only thing that remained unchanging were her ice blue eyes. Still slightly unnerving to those who didn't know her, they gave her an almost unearthly beauty.

Bella, now at seventeen, had grown up as well. Standing at 5'6", she surpassed Evie's smaller stature of 5'2". No matter how tall her younger sister had gotten, however, Evie was still her protector. Whenever anyone tried to bully the shy girl, Evie would step in and prove just how dangerous small women could be. By now, the students of their high school just resorted to ignoring the two girls. Now however, the two girls were saying goodbye to Phoenix, and hello to Forks. Their mother needed to spend time with her husband, Phil, and the two girls were willing to go to the small, dreary town of Forks to let her have that time with him. Not that Evie minded, she actually quite liked the constantly rainy town. So that's how they found themselves on the next plane to Seattle, Washington. Evie couldn't wait to see the group of beautiful strangers again, even if they had forgotten her. Eventually, being lulled to sleep by the constant hum of the engines, Evie fell into a dreamless sleep, ready to begin the next chapter of her life.

So, what did you think? I know that there isn't a lot of interaction between Carlisle and Evie yet, but I promise there will be soon. Please review and tell me what you think! I will be posting another chapter tomorrow afternoon, so be on the look out!
