Chapter one

Bella and Charlie Swan

The alarm sounded, Bella rolled over with a low groan hitting the top of her alarm to shut it off. With a long yawn she got out of bed slowly opening her curtains, looking out onto another dismal day in forks, the rain had just started, which meant that once she was on her way to school everything would be soaked. She sighed wondering why she even bothered looking out the window anymore knowing that all she would see would be the same wet miserable Forks. Another alarm sounded in the next room "shit" muttered Bella under her breath, she hadn't realised just how long she had stood staring out of her window. Grabbing her toiletry bag Bella ran into the bathroom turning on the hot water she jumped into shower letting the hot water run over her body she sighed preparing herself mentally and physically for another day at Forks high school.

"Bella if you don't get down here in 3 minutes, there'll be hell to pay" Screamed Charlie.

Bella jumped out of the shower as if she had been burnt and ran back to her room, throwing on faded jeans and a long sleeved blue top she looked at herself in the mirror, sighing, oh well at least no one could see the bruises in these clothes. Grabbing a black hoodie Bella ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, she grabbed the eggs and bacon out of the fridge and started to prepare her Dads breakfast. Bella's stomach grumbled as the smell of the bacon wound its way around the kitchen. Bella couldn't remember the last time she had eaten a decent meal, he only chose to feed her when he couldn't eat any more, or when he wasn't looking she would be able to eat the scraps out of the bin. Bella flipped the bacon over leaning in taking a breath full of the delicious smelling bacon.

"Don't even think about it, or you won't even live to see it to your next birthday" Snarled Charlie

Bella shuddered "yes sir"

Standing straight to attention, she quickly finished cooking Charlie's breakfast while he got ready for work, finally strapping his gun belt around his waist. Charlie was the chief of police in Forks, and as a result had a hell of a lot of power. The person with the most power in Forks was her father and was also the man who beat her every night, and made her emotionally drained every second of every day. Charlie ate his bacon and eggs with a smirk on his face glancing every so often at Bella who stood at the cooker, waiting for permission to leave. Her head was bowed looking at the floor she was only allowed to look up when instructed to do so.

"What did I tell you stand up straight, anybody would have thought I dragged you up rather than brought you up!" Charlie spat at Bella

"Yes sir, sorry sir" Bella whispered, the last thing she needed was a kick in before school, her ribs were still sore from last nights beating.

"You're a waste of space do you know that, I should never have agreed to keep you once your useless mother died, even she couldn't stand to be around you any more so she killed herself" Charlie chuckled at his little joke knowing how much he was getting to me.

"She did not kill herself she loved me with all of her heart" Bella stuttered at him tears running down her cheek, knowing that she would pay for this. Charlie picked his plate up and threw it at Bella, who just managed to duck out of the way, the plate smashing just above her head.

"Clean it up now!" Charlie growled. Bella bent down to pick up the broken pieces, she heard Charlie stand up behind her and braced herself. Charlie came up behind her and kicked her in the stomach, Bella collapsed onto the broken plate, she lay there to terrified to move while Charlie continued to rain kicks and punches to her stomach, back and chest.

"Clean this mess up and get to school" Charlie called as he headed out of the door.

Bella refused to let the tears fall, if she started then she would never stop. She carefully sat up her ribs were killing her, a couple felt broken and the rest fractured at least, it hurt like hell to breath. She picked the rest of the plate up and threw it in the trash, it was only then that she realised her hand was bleeding what with the rest of the pain she hadn't even noticed. She cleaned it, put a bandage around her cut, and headed out the door towards another hellish day at school.

The Cullen Family

"Kids if you don't get down here in the next five minutes for breakfast your all going to be late for your first day of school" Esme yelled up the stairs to her five adoptive teenage children.

She heard a chuckle coming from behind her and turned to smile at her husband Carlisle, he held out his arms and she quickly stepped into his warm embrace placing her head on his chest. Carlisle smiled at his beautiful wife kissing the top of her head he loved the way his wife always made time for him even in the most hectic periods of her day.

"I swear if those kids are not down her in the next two minutes they are not getting any breakfast" Esme yelled

"Sweetheart you know you won't let any of them leave this house on an empty stomach it's not in your nature and they all know that" Carlisle chuckled while placing a kiss on his wife's forehead.

They both looked up as they heard thunderous steps on the stairs, Emmett and Jasper were fighting there way down the stairs trying to push each other head first over the barrier.

"All right guys knock it off, you could at least wait until after school before you start to dismantle the house" Carlisle scolded the boys as if they were five.

Both boys came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs apologised to Carlisle while still pushing one another around big grins on their faces. After one last shove they followed Esme into the kitchen were she was cooking pancakes with syrup. As Carlisle headed up the stairs to round up the rest of his children he thought back to how lucky he and Esme were to have found and adopted five wonderful children, Emmett was boisterous and lively always after a fight or a baseball game with one of his siblings he never cared which. Jasper and Edward are calmer both more thoughtful and very caring. Then there were his two beautiful daughters Rosalie and Alice, both were true girls and loved to shop and spend time with Esme talking about hair, make up and of course boys. Over time all of the children had become like their own he knew that Esme loved them all just as much as he himself did and they would do anything and everything to ensure that they were all loved, protected and most of all happy. Carlisle knocked on Alice and Rosalie's room, wondering just how long these girls needed to get ready in the morning thank god they had their own bathroom otherwise no one else would get a look in.

"Come in" Alice called in her high pitched squeak.

On spotting Carlisle at the door she ran across the room to give her 'dad' a hug, out of all her children she was the one who needed to hugs the most, and he was of course more than happy to oblige.

"Are you and Rose nearly ready for school? Esme will have a fit if you're not in the kitchen within the next minute!" Carlisle smiled as Rose walked out of the bathroom.

"Yeah were ready, but we have got to look our best on our first day at Forks high we've got to give the boys there something to look at haven't we!" Rosalie grinned at her father loving to wind him up.

"Alright you two lets go, you are both beautiful enough and no you do not need to have every boy staring at you and I will defiantly be getting your brothers to be keeping an eye on you!" Carlisle scolded his daughters lightly as they headed out the door.

"What have I got to do now?" Edward asked as he caught up with the others on the stairs.

"Oh just make sure that your sisters don't start riots at school today with their beauty!" Carlisle laughed

"I defiantly don't stand a chance there!" Edward replied, smiling towards his two favourite sisters.

The rest of the family headed into the kitchen where Emmett and Jasper were both finishing off there sixth pancake. They all took their seats at the table and helped themselves to pancakes, each lost in their own thoughts for what would happen during the day. They had all just moved here from Washington D.C. the children were starting a new high school, Carlisle was starting his new job as a consultant at the local hospital and Esme was planning on spending the day unpacking and making their new house look more like a home.

"Ok guys its time you all get out of my hair I have a lot to do today" As she spoke she glanced at the rest of her family smiling all obviously feeling nervous for their first days.

"I have every faith that you will all succeed today, none of you should be nervous, only exited and looking forward to this new start" Esme stood up and walked around the table kissing each of her family in turn.

The children stood up and headed for the door knowing that they would stick together and help each other out until they have each found their feet.

"Esme, I can't believe how lucky I was to have found you, I love you" Carlisle kissed his wife before heading out the door and into his new job. Esme smiled after her husband and children realising that she was the lucky one and busied herself getting their home ready for when they return, hoping that they were all successful in their first day at work and school.
