A/N: Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy the first chapter of my story, It All Started With A Vampire Costume.

~ Bella ~

My name is Bella Swan. I am 7 years old. Today is Halloween and I am going to be a vampire! Mommy got me a cape and fake vampire fangs and a pretty black dress. We're going Trick-or-Treating in a few minutes, but my weird older brother is taking FOREVER to get ready!

My older brother is Emmett. He is 8 years old. He's going to be 'Spiderman' for Halloween. I think my costume is better then his but don't tell Mommy that because she said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

"Come ON Emmett! We need to go RIGHT NOW! I want to trick or treating BEFORE the good candy is taken!" I yelled. Ok, so maybe I forgot what my Mommy says almost every day…

But can you blame me? IT'S HALLOWEEN! I'm gonna get a lot of candy and I get to dress up! How awesome is that?

"Let's go! Come on Mom! We're ready to go!" Emmett called to our Mommy. Emmett calls me a baby because I still call our Mommy by 'Mommy'. But I don't see the problem in that. She is my Mommy.

Wait…what was I saying…oh yeah! We're going Trick-or-Treating!

… 2 Hours Later…

Emmett told me that the good candy always comes from big houses that are on hills, so I believe him. So that's why my Mommy, Emmett and me are climbing up this REALLY BIG HILL! (A/N P.S. Bella is just exaggerating. The hill wasn't that big, but she's 7 years old, so everything is bigger than she is.)

WOW! There's a pretty house that looks old, but nice at the same time, you know? Like, as if people still live there.

"Mom, can we go up to that house! Pleeeeease?" Emmett and me whined.

"Oh, all right. Emmett hold your sister's hand the entire time, ok? And say thank you!"

Mommy had to yell the last part because after she said "…all right" My brother and I were running up to the pretty white old-but nice-looking house.

We stood on the porch and Emmett ringed the doorbell. We waited. A couple seconds later, we saw a person through the glass on the door. The door opened slowly and there was a guy with penny-colored hair and gold eyes staring down at us. He looked like a teenager and he wasn't dressed up in a costume.

"Can I help you?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. He didn't say it like he was making fun of us or anything which was good. I hate it when people make fun of me. It's just rude. I noticed that me and Emmett didn't say "Trick-or-Treat" yet. We must have been thinking the same thing because we both said,"Trick-or-Treat!" at the same time.

The guy's face was kinda funny. He looked at us with disbeeeleaf (That's a hard word!) clearly written on his face.

"Oh…umm…Well…One second. I'll be right back. Wait right there." He said, and he closed the door.

Emmett and me looked at each other with confused eyes.

"Do you think he's gonna come back?" Emmett asked me, sounding sad.

"I don't know." I said and shrugged my shoulders.

Almost a minute later the door re-opened and there stood a pixie-like girl. She had black short hair and was kinda short. Although she was taller than me, but hey! I'm only 7 years old! She was wearing a cute orange and black outfit with sparkles on it… I wonder if she's a pixie or something…

She had a smile on her face. She looks like the same age as the guy from before. Wait a second! They also have the same colored eyes…

"Hi kids! I'm Alice! I'm guessing you two want some candy, huh?" Alice said cheerfully.

Emmett and I nodded happily and Alice put a couple handfuls of candy into our bags.

"Are you a pixie? Cuz you have a pretty costume on, and you're short like a fairy." I asked, really wanting to know if that's her costume.

I heard laughter from inside the pretty house. Alice sighed.

"Well…I suppose I look like a pixie. I was just trying to be into the holidays and actually wear something that had orange and black on it." She said, looking a bit sad.

"Oh…Well your outfit is really pretty!" I said, hoping to make her feel happier.

"Oh. Thank you! That's so sweet of you. What are your names?" She asked, definitely happier than before.

"I'm Emmett, and this is my weird younger sister Bella. She's a vampire." Emmett said. Then the air was sorta tense and I could hear the talk from the other room stop.

Alice's eyes got really big then she looked normal again and she yelled to the people in the other room, "Everyone get out here! We have Spiderman and an adorable vampire out here!"

Then a blonde older looking guy, a light brown-haired lady, a blonde girl that looked like one of my Barbie dolls (Who looked the same age as Alice), and a honey-colored-haired guy (also around the same age as Alice), and the guy that answered the door first, walked into the front room and looked at me and Emmett. I noticed that they all had the same colored eyes… and they're all really pale…

"You were right Alice! There really is a Vampire and Spiderman here!" The light brown-haired lady said with a smile.

"Oh, yeah! Thanks for the candy!" Emmett said. Oops. I forgot to say thank you.

"Thanks." I said really quietly. I can be shy sometimes. Though, not all the time.

"Aren't you a scary looking vampire?" The older blonde guy asked me.

I nodded and proudly said, "I scared my Mommy when she was walking down the stairs today."

They all laughed, including Emmett, who was there when I scared Mommy.

"Bella! Emmett!" Mommy yelled from the edge of the hill.

"Oh. We have to go now. Bye!" Emmett said as he grabbed my hand and we ran back to our Mommy.

We heard them all shouting "Bye Bella! Bye Emmett!" I even thought I heard the Barbie look-a-like yell, "Bye Spiderman!" I guess Emmett heard too because he looked over his shoulder and grinned.

"What took you two so long?" Mommy asked as we made out way to her.

"They had to get the candy and everyone looked at our costumes." I explained.

"Oh, ok. Let's go home now." Emmett and I booed but started going down the hill and headed toward our home.

(A/N I was going to stop right here, but I think I want to add in why Edward (The penny colored-haired guy, of course) had to close the door and get Alice. BTW, any spelling/grammar mistakes in this chapter were on purpose because this was in a 7 year old Bella's perspective. So I wanted it to sound childish. And BTW, writing young Bella and Emmett is fun!)

~ Edward ~

I was downstairs talking to my family when the doorbell rang. I checked the thoughts around me and heard a faint voice that was set on the front door of my house. Well, that's odd. My family wasn't expecting guests. I could tell from the form of the person's thoughts that it was a child. Which is even more odd.

My family looked around at each other; all wondering if any of us invited someone over…Apparently not.

"I'll go get the door, then…" I said, the curiousness clear in my voice.

I went to answer the door and came face to face with Spiderman and a vampire. I had to try my best not to laugh at the vampire fangs. (I'll explain later)

"Can I help you?" I asked, not in a mocking sort of way, but more so in a serious tone, as a raised an eyebrow.

The little boy and girl just stared at me for a moment before simultaneously saying, "Trick-or-Treat!"

How cute. Sure, for any other human to dress up as a vampire I would just laugh a bit. But this little girl looked adorable. She had fake vampire fangs, a black dress, and fake blood dripping from her mouth down to her chin. It's not like humans knew that vampires were real. So, them dressing up like one is a bit funny considering I am a vampire. (Again, I'll go into more detail later, just be patient.)

Oh, wait. They want candy. We don't have any candy. My family's house in on a hill near the forest, no one would ever come up here to get candy…but I was wrong.

"Oh…umm…Well…One second. I'll be right back. Wait right there." I hurriedly said. I closed the door and saw that Alice had come up behind me the second it was shut. She had a bag of candy in her hand.

Before I could ask how she knew to get the candy (or even remember that I could just read her mind), she said mockingly, "I see the future, remember?" Oh yeah.

"Right. Well, have fun giving candy out to our trick-or-treaters." I said and went to the living room where my family was talking about what was going on.

"Edward, are there really two kids Trick-or-Treating at our door?" Esme, my mother asked me.

"Yeah." was my simple answer. I knew that everyone wanted to know a bit more about why there were kids at our porch, but I was too focused on something else; I couldn't hear the little 'vampire's mind. I've never known any real vampire or human whose mind was blank for me.

Oh, wait! Let me explain. Vampires, such as my family and myself, sometimes have extra abilities. For Alice it's seeing the future-but only based on people's decisions, for Jasper it's sensing and controlling the emotions of the people around him. And for myself, I can read minds, but don't worry, I can only read the minds of people who are within a few miles of which I stand. The rest of my family simply brought traits over from when they were human, but they don't have the type of abilities as I'm speaking of. So, for me not to be able to read someone's mind…well, to be quite honest, it's impossible.

"Are you a pixie? Cuz you have a pretty costume on, and you're short like a fairy." I, as well as the rest of my family, heard the little girl at the door ask.

We all laughed, except Alice, who sighed.

"Well…I suppose I look like a pixie. I was just trying to be into the holidays and actually wear something that had orange and black on it." She said, her voice and thoughts a bit sad.

"Oh…Well your outfit is really pretty!" said the little girl dressed as a vampire.

"Oh. Thank you! That's so sweet of you. What are your names?" Alice said, happy once again. I looked over at Jasper and saw that he just laughed at his wife's moods, which were all over the place.

"I'm Emmett, and this is my weird younger sister Bella. She's a vampire." 'Spiderman' said, and the air almost visibly tensed.

My whole family's minds were going haywire, of course. But I knew from Emmett's blurry thoughts that his sister wasn't really a vampire (along with looking at her, of course), and that they didn't even though that vampire's were real.

Do they know about us?...No, they're only children. I do hope they aren't Trick-Or-Treating by themselves, it's getting dark outside…

Everyone's emotions are all over the place! …but I don't blame everyone. What if they actually knew something about us. No need to worry, though, Edward is able to hear their thoughts…

She can't really be a vampire! She's only a kid!…But she's so pale. Maybe she has some sort of weird power like Edward, Alice and Jasper. Oh! Sorry Edward…

No, impossible! I hear her heartbeat. They don't seem to realize what we are. Their pulses are good, a bit faster than what's normal, but that's probably because of their obvious excitement because it's Halloween…

(A/N Can anyone guess the order of everyone's thoughts?)

"Everyone get out here! We have Spiderman and an adorable vampire out here!" Alice yelled out to us from the other room.

My family quickly made their way to the front door and got to see the two kids. Though, from the other room, if you looked a bit around the corner, you'd be able to see them.

"You were right Alice! There really is a Vampire and Spiderman here!" Esme said for the kids' enjoyment, though the statement was true enough.

"Oh, yeah! Thanks for the candy!" Emmett (Spiderman) suddenly said. His blurred thoughts were focused on how he forgot to say 'Thanks' and how mad his mom would be if she found out he forgot.

"Thanks." Bella said, so quietly that I was surprised that it was audible at all.

"Aren't you a scary looking vampire?" Carlisle took on the same tone as his wife, Esme.

Bella nodded and seeming proud said, "I scared my Mommy when she was walking down the stairs today."

My whole family and Emmett laughed. Spiderman's thoughts on how scared his Mom were when she suddenly saw her daughter with the fake blood on her face, thinking it was real.

"Bella! Emmett!" The same woman from Emmett's thoughts yelled from the edge of the hill. I assumed she was their mother…Yep, her thoughts concluded my theory.

"Oh. We have to go now. Bye!" Emmett said as he grabbed Bella's hand, and they both ran back to their Mom.

My family all shouted "Bye Bella! Bye Emmett!" as they ran to their mother. Rosalie even yelled, "Bye Spiderman!" Emmett heard and looked over his shoulder and grinned at my sister.

"What took you two so long?" Their mother asked the two children as soon as they made their way to her.

"They had to get the candy and everyone looked at our costumes." Bella explained, and though they were a reasonable amount of distance between my family and them, we could still hear them perfectly. Vampire hearing sure does come in handy sometimes.

"Oh, ok. Let's go home now." Spiderman and the Vampire 'booed' at this, but went along with their mother anyway.

"Sooo…That was exciting." Alice said, breaking the comfortable silence.

Everyone smiled as we thought about the cute, friendly kids.

"What now?" Jasper asked no one in particular.

My family just shrugged and went back to talking about this and that. Though, the one thing on my entire family's mind was the trick-or-treaters.

(A/N TA DA! The first chapter is complete! Yay! Please review! Even if all you write is "Update soon!" or "What a horrible story." I'm ok with that! So…yeah. Thanks for reading! I'll update soon! ~TwilighterluvsEdward
