When I came back to reality there were seven pairs of eyes watching me intently.

"Was that another one of your visions or memories?" Carlisle was the first to ask, waiting carefully for my answer.

"Yes, a very strong one." I confirmed. He looked thoughtful for a moment before asking if we could have our talk about it now. When I agreed everyone else left the house, something I thought unusual but wouldn't question yet.

"So you've been having these … what do you prefer calling them? You've been having them since your birthday and the intensity and frequency has been increasing ever since?" He questioned professionally.

"I usually think of them as memories. Mostly because they seem so realistic but also because part of me feels as if they are real. As silly as it sounds, I've always been a little unusual and felt uncomfortable with... well I guess life, but during the memories I feel like that's where I'm supposed to be. Yes, they did start on my birthday and were increasing in frequency and intensity until the night I moved to forks. Since then I've only had two more. Both after seeing you; one at the hospital and the other today." I explained.

"So, these memories are all as if you're in the past and are showing your life then? One in which you and I have meet?" He seemed truly interested so with my nod of confirmation he continued.

"Would you be able to describe something in detail for me?" he asked. So, I did I described how we met and the layout of the town and some of the conversation we had about his father. I didn't feel safe telling him about myself yet. I hadn't done anything like that in my real life but something in me felt like I might. When I got to the part about his father he sucked in a sharp breath and remained silent after I had finished speaking.

"Isabella, I'd like to tell you something about myself and my family that we don't tell anyone else. It may not be the wisest thing to do on my part, but I feel it needs to be done for you to understand why I believe you and to maybe figure out what is causing your memories. Would you keep an open mind and listen to me?" He said with such seriousness and sincerity that I knew this would be a huge reviling.

I agreed, and he proceeded to tell me what he was. A vampire. Not the traditional kill a human by draining them, no reflection, can't stand garlic and crosses type. A vampire who could survive of animals, who was compassionate enough to build a resistance to human blood, so he could help save their lives, who wanted to blend with humanity instead of avoiding or ruling over it. I believed him even before he offered to show me his strength or speed. He wasn't the type to joke like that.

"So, you believe me because you know the supernatural is real?" I questioned after telling him he didn't need to prove what he was to me.

"No, I believe you because the town you talk about is the town I spent my human life in and the things you told me about my father all match up to the few memories I have left. I don't remember much of my human life, but the other night as I was leaving your father's house I thought I might remember a girl who looked just like you, and since we meet outside the restaurant I've had the feeling that I know you from somewhere and can't place where." He confessed.

"So, you think we really meet in a past life or something?" I asked slightly confused.

"Well I'm not entirely sure. It doesn't quite make sense to me as none of my family or acquaintances have ever encountered anything like this before. We have all been researching since we meet you." He explained.

"So, have I." I sighed.

The rest of the night had been fun. Everyone else had come back, no longer hiding their true abilities from me. Alice had insisted on still having a sleepover, so while everyone jumped onto there computers and tablets to research some more Alice started doing my nails. Something I usually would never agree to, but she promised she would do it in a way I would be ok with and she did. While doing that she told me more about the family. I soon learned roughly when they were all turned (I insisted that I would rather here each person's story from them), about how Alice and Jasper had joined the family because of Alice's gift, that Edward could read most people's minds, that Alice could see the future and that Jasper could feel and manipulate people's emotions.

By the time my nails were dry Esme had dinner ready for me. I hadn't even noticed her cooking. And I suddenly felt embarrassed about eating in front of them and that they bought me food. I told them as much, but they simply laughed and explained that Esme usually did the shopping anyway to seem normal then cooked a lot of meals and took them to a homeless shelter a few towns away.

Emmett was quick to tell me his story after dinner.

"I was out with some buddies one night and decided it might be fun to go have a fight with a bear to see who would win."

"You were hunting." Rosalie corrected.

"Don't listen to her she doesn't like admitting how awesome I am. Any way I was fighting this bear when I got distracted by something, so the bear gained the upper hand. Not my fault!"

"You scared it near its den which its cubs were sleeping in." Rose snorted.

"Because of the distraction he started tearing into me and ripping me to bits. I got a few good hits in before he ran off"

"She finally thought you were dead, which you almost were." She said exasperated.

"So, I was lying on the ground a little banged up, just a few cuts and scrapes, when Rosie came upon me. And the second she saw me she couldn't take her eyes off me. Decided I was far too good looking and strong. She practically begged to turn me, so she could be with me forever." He finished. At this rose simply rolled her eyes and smacked him across the head.

"Fine you tell it then." he pouted. To which she told me how she found him lying on the forest floor, bones broken, bleeding out and hours away from dying. That something in her couldn't let that happen so even though she was starving, and he was covered in blood which smelled delicious she carried him in her arms back to Carlisle and begged him to save Emmitt. Then when the change was complete they became mates.

"Honestly though when Rossie found me I thought she was an angel and I was sure she had taken me to god the second I saw Carlisle. I still think she's my angel." He admitted.

Next Alice told me her story. The little of it she knew. That she woke one day with no memory of her human life or what had happened to her and not knowing what she was. She told me that her first real vision was of Jasper, them meeting, how he was looking for a change of lifestyle and that she would help him. She told me that she knew that would not happen for a long time, so she set off to make herself ready for him. She had a vision of Carlisle and his family and knew that was what jasper needed so she started feeding off animals and blending with humans until it was time to meet jasper. When they finally meet she took them straight to the Cullen's and moved right in. They became mates instantly.

After Alice shared her story they all decided I should get some sleep as it was getting fairly late. I hadn't even noticed the time but was getting rather tired. I suddenly realized they didn't need sleep and asked why they had beds. Emmitt started laughing and was about to answer when rose once again smacked him across the head. Alice politely pointed out that they were three, two now she corrected herself, couples. This made me blush insanely and ask if maybe I should go home instead.

"Don't be silly Bella, you're not getting in anyone's way and we enjoy having you here." Esme assured me.

Here it is! hope you guys like it!
