Ok this is my first fanfic, so please play nice. I don't really know where i'm going to take this story so reviews will help me decide. CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHANIE, I'M JUST BORROWING THEM:)

Chapter 1: Awake

When I awoke I could sense someone across the room from me. I hadn't even opened my eyes, so how did I know he was there? Not an idea one. Wait there were more than one. What is going on? Then something moved beside me and I jumped, whirling around to stop whatever it was from getting to the person across the room. I had to protect him from whatever this threat was.

Wait how did I know it was a male and why did I have to protect him? Nothing is making sense to me, my mind seems to be taking in so many things that I can't understand what it all means. It was like my mind was soaring and my body wasn't very far behind. I looked to the movement beside me and realized it was a boy, a young boy with bronze wavy hair and strange golden eyes. I didn't know him and I growled out of instinct. The arm he had been reaching in my direction slowly lowered back down to his side. "Bella darling, what's wrong? I still love you, come to me." Okay the bronze haired boy had called me Bella, that must be my name, but it didn't sound just right. I still love you. What does he mean?

"She is extremely confused, and is slightly afraid." This voice was like honey over velvet, and it made my insides feel like jell-o. I just wanted to fall into his arms and hide from world around me that seemed so unfamiliar. He was my rock; he grounded me to this place that was frightening and bright. I turned to look at him, He is absolutely beautiful. I just stood there, amazed, looking at him. He smiled and the bronze haired boy growled, really growled, like an animal. "What is going on?" My voice was like bells and singing, this slightly distracted me a little. Surely everyone's voice didn't sound like this. But while distracted I didn't miss the bronze haired boy attacking the beautiful man. I couldn't let him hurt him, but there was a giant male and a very handsome blonde man suddenly at my side holding me to my place next to the wall.

I could only watch and wish that the god standing before me fighting the boy would be unharmed. As I thought this the bronze haired boy was thrown across the room and seemed held in place by a wall that was unseen by us. Suddenly the beautiful warrior came up to me laying a hand on my arm, and the bronze haired boy ran from the room almost too fast for my senses to pick him up. I calmed down once I had seen for myself that the man who had come over to me was alright. He must have been holding his own the entire time. He hadn't even received a scratch. The mountain of a man holding my left arm looked to the god in front of me, who nodded, then let me go. The blonde haired man on my right then released me as well, and they both placed themselves in front of the three women who were standing by the door. They were beautiful, one with blonde flowing hair to her waist, one with honey hair just below her shoulders and one with spiky black hair. All seemed like models even as different from the others as each looked.

They all had the same strange golden eyes. I wonder if this is a family and that is just a trait of theirs. They also are all so very pale, but looking down I noticed that my hand was also similarly pale. I wondered if I was a part of this family. Are my eyes the same golden color as theirs? This whole scene must have only lasted seconds even though it seemed like hours. As I thought of placing my hand on the god of war, yeah that seemed to fit the gorgeous creature in front of me, one of the women lunged screaming and growling only to be halted about a foot from us. "He's MINE! WHAT the HELL are you THINKING?!" The little spiky haired woman screeched out. The wonderful man beside me growled back at her. The quietly said, almost like he was saddened by it, "Not anymore darlin'. Sorry." She hung her head then nodded and walked out the door, headed in the same direction the bronze haired boy had gone. Suddenly the mountain of a man between me and the other two women boomed out "What the HELL is going on? Where did Alice and Edward go? Jasper?"

He seemed like someone that could be a threat, but also like someone I would like. He was standing up for someone he must have cared for. He seemed like he was sincerely concerned about the two that had left. So, Jasper was the god like man that still had his hand on me. Just being this close to him seemed to make me calmer when I would start to think about the two that had tried to harm us, Alice and Edward. His blonde hair waved down to his shoulders, looking tousled and sexy as hell I thought. He was tall maybe 6' 2", lean, but you could tell he had hidden muscles under his clothing. He had scars on his neck and arms that screamed dangerous, even though they just screamed beautiful to me. He looked at me with a smirk like he knew what I was thinking. "I think Bella needs to hunt, and then we can find out what is going on. I will take her since I'm better with newborns, and I can use my gift to relax the situation if need be."

This confused me but I wanted to get him alone and ask him some questions anyway. Like why I was here and what was going on with everyone around me. But most of all I wanted to know why when he touched me it felt like he was touching my soul, like I was complete. Wait, hunt, gift, definitely going to ask some questions very soon. "Okay Bella since you seem very confused I am going to ask you some things before we go okay?" I nodded to him, I would tell him anything he wanted to know, if that is I know the answer. "Okay do you know what has been happening the last three days?" I thought about this, then looked at all of them and decided I should be honest.

"Maybe I should just tell you what I remember, as it isn't much. I didn't even know my name until that boy, Edward I believe, said it was Bella." The taller woman with long blonde hair gasped quite loudly, and I thought it was because I couldn't even remember my own name. That was until she said "You don't even recognize your mate? What happened to cause this Carlisle? Every vampire recognizes their mate, but she is acting very strange even for a newborn." "WAIT A MINUTE!" I yelled out. "VAMPIRE? MATE? What is going on?" I was getting extremely upset and Jasper placed his hand in mine. "Do you trust me?" This seemed like a strange question. I didn't know any of them, but he wasn't yelling or saying anything too crazy, like me being a VAMPIRE!

"Yes, if I trust anyone here, it is you. But why do I trust you?" He looked at me a little shyly and said "I believe you know the answer to that. Your emotions are telling me that you know, but I can't be sure what is going on in that head of yours. I will answer anything that you ask. So please don't ask me anything that you don't want the answer to because I won't lie to you. I can't." When he said this last bit he hung his head down like he was ashamed that he wouldn't lie to me. But at the same time both women growled out no's and the males just looked on in shock. He just nodded and said "not now, later I promise." He then turned to me a little pensively. "Would you mind taking a walk with me, and I can maybe explain a little of what is going on to you." I just nodded my head while looking into his eyes. I know he could probably see the wonder and, I don't know, want in my eyes, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't look away to save my life at the moment.
