A/N: Ok, I had an idea for another story and I just wanted to get it out there. The thing is I'm only going to continue if anyone wants me to. That means this chapter will be pretty long, so enjoy and let me know what you think. This is not a crossover, I'm just taking the concept of vampires from Vampire Knight.

Chapter 1: Found
EBOV
I leapt passed the foliage and into a crossing. I knew I had to return soon before I get a mouth full from Alice and Esme and Carlisle and well you get the idea. So I tackled the helpless creature and devoured its blood within seconds. After feasting on an elk and one deer before this one, I was finally full. I was just about to head home when….
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It was a scream of a little girl, impossible. What would a small child be doing here, so far back into the heart of the forest? I went to investigate. Minutes later I arrived at a clearing and before I could move a step further, I saw it.
Just a good 20 ft away was a little girl with short brown, curly hair and brown eyes covered in blood. She wasn't alone, there was a hooded figure kneeling in front of her telling her something so quite not even my vampire hearing could pick up.
I don't know what possessed me to walk closer to where that little girl was but I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't going to leave her there with that hooded figure. As I drew near I saw another figure a few inches behind the hooded one.
The man was dead, he lay there with his blood red empty eyes open. Wait…WHAT?! He's a vampire and he's dead, without the need to break him apart and burn the pieces? Things were getting stranger by the minute, I needed to talk to Carlisle about this.
As I was within a foot from where the girl and figure were, the hooded person stood. He turned toward me and said, "Watch over her until I return."
A gust of wind blasted at my face and I shielded myself from its assault. When I looked up the figure was gone. The little girl still remained, staring at me. Even though I had no idea what just happened I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't going to leave a defenseless girl here alone in the woods alone after all this. I walked towards her and kneeled.
"Hi there, are you ok?" I gave her a reassuring smile, hoping that would gain a little of her trust.
She continued to stare, not acknowledging anything. So I pressed on.
"Why don't you come with me, I promise I won't hurt you. I only want to help." I stretched out my hand.
She looked at it, and did something I didn't expect. She rammed herself into my chest and held my shirt tight, as if I were her only lifeline. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and picked her up. I decided to go at human pace, no matter how much I hated it I didn't want to frighten her further.
"So….What's your name?" Hoping a conversation would make the walk less agonizing. But I was only met with silence. Man, now what? If only there was some way for me to hear int……..Stupid! Mind reader, how could I forget!
I waited a second to be assaulted with her thoughts but I only got silence. I waited a few more, still nothing! What was going on? First I'm minding my own business, then I find a little girl, a stranger in a cloak and a dead vampire, next I get stuck with the girl, and now I can't read her mind! Today was just not my day.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
I finally arrived at the house, but before I could open the door I was attacked by Alice.
"Edward, where have you been?! I've been calling you all night? What have yo….." Alice was now looking at the little girl with wide eyes.
Edward…..what's that in your arms? (Alice)
"She would be a human, you know those creatures we spend our days with at school?" I said full of sarcasm.
"Not what I meant! I mean what is she doing here and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Why is she covered in blood?!! What happened?!!!" Alice was frantic now. Her last statement brought the attach of the whole family.
Jasper had locked himself in his and Alice's room trying to control himself, Rosalie was glaring at me behind Alice, Emmett was standing next to Rose and wasn't too happy either, Esme was looking at me then at the girl with great worry, and Carlisle appeared next to Alice looking quite concerned.
Edward, son, tells us what happened. (Carlisle)
I never saw him like this before, he looked at me with a sternly demanding I tell them immediately. Before I could answer I turned towards Alice.
"Didn't you see anything?" I had to know first, if she knew anything at all it would lessen my load a great deal.
"No Edward, I didn't see anything. One minute you're hunting and then the next you're gone, you just disappeared. It was like you entered a shield or something. I can't really explain it. Why do you think I've been calling you nonstop, we were all worried."
"Sorry everyone, I don't know I wasn't really thinking about anything other than her the whole way here. It's so strange, I can't read her mind."
Everyone looked at me with shock, "I knew I had the same expression."
"Dude, you've got to tell us what happened." Emmett was serious for once. This really was a weird day, what more could go wrong.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
I finished telling them everything I knew, and by the look on their faces they were just as confused as I was.
"In all my years, I've never come across anything like this before." Said Carlisle deeply puzzled. "Did you get a good look at the figure's face at all?"
"No none, even with our sight I could get anything."
"Hmmm, I'll make some calls to see if anyone's heard or seen this person before." Carlisle stood and locked himself in his study.
"Well, you've had quite a night." Esme spoke.
"Yeah" I looked at the child in my arms. She still clung to me, never loosening her grip. She looked at me with her brown eyes, expectantly. What did she want? I couldn't read her mind and she won't talk, so what am I suppose to do?
"Edward, I think we should get her cleaned up. I don't think it's fair for Jasper to be locked up in his room all night, do you?"
I completely forgot! "Oh, yes of course. Sorry. But we don't have anything for her to wear."
Alice gave us a mischievous smile, "Don't you worry about that dear brother. I'll take care of everything!" Then she bolted up the stairs, I swear I could hear her throwing her furniture around.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up." I walked up the stairs and into the bathroom.
"What are you going to do with her afterwards Edward? She can't stay here." Rosalie practically snorted.
"What else can we do?" What was I saying? I knew Rose was right she couldn't stay here, it far too dangerous for her to stay in a house full of vampires. But something in me didn't want her to leave. I just wanted to hold her in my arms and keep her safe.
"Hello? We can drop her off at the hospital, they will take care of everything else. Come on Edward, what's with you? Aren't you suppose to be the most sensible one?" I could hear Rose's anger rising.
"I know, but somehow I don't think that's the best decision." I turned my attention back to the girl and gave her a sad smile. "I can't explain it Rose, I just." I let my sentence die, I didn't know what else to say.
"Whatever." Instead of her retreating, I could hear Rose stepping closer. "Here, let me do it. You're taking forever! Move!"
Not wanting to fight in front of the girl, I complied. "Go get some towels and shut the door, you're letting all the cold air come in!"
Before I did what I was told, I peaked back and couldn't believe what I saw. Rosalie was gently cleaning the little girl, speaking softly as not to scare the child. I've never seen Rose act so kind or motherly towards anyone before. I smiled and left Rose to enjoy her moment.

"All done!" Alice shouted proudly to the entire family, while holding the girl in her arms.
"Alice, do I even want to know where you got those clothes?" I could feel a migraine coming.
"Nope! Doesn't she look adorable?!" she said with admiration.
"Of course, she's so cute!" Esme encouraged.
"Edward, what are you planning to do with her?" Jasper had crept up behind me and asked. If I was human, I bet I would've had a heart attack.
"I'm not really sure myself, Jasper. All I know is I can't just leave her somewhere like a hospital or an orphanage. Not after all she's been through." I knew I shouldn't be making excuses but I couldn't help it, I just wanted to make sure she was safe. Somewhere I could keep an eye on her.
We all heard a door open and saw Carlisle headed toward us.
"No one's heard or seen him before. I'm worried." Carlisle turned toward me "Edward, are you sure that he told you to watch after her? This isn't something we can pass as coincidence."
I nodded "I agree, and yes I'm positive that's what he told me. So what do, propose now Carlisle?"
"I know it would be best to turn her over to the authorities, but given the circumstances with the stranger I don't believe it would be safest course of action to take. Until we figure a few things out, she will have to stay with us."
"Yeah!" "Awesome!" "Wonderful" all came from Alice, Emmett and Esme. Rosalie was trying to stiffen a smile, Jasper's eyes were about to pop out of his socket, and Carlisle just gave a satisfied smile.
I on the other hand was ecstatic. I couldn't explain this feeling of having her near, all I knew was that I wanted to protect her and keep her safe.
Everyone's ranting came to a halt when we heard a yawn.
"Somebody's tired." Emmett laughed. "Where's the shrimp going to sleep?"
"I vote Edward's room!" Alice shouted and ran up the stairs before anyone could object.
"Hey don't I get a vote in this? It's my room?!" I screamed at Alice's retreating form.
"Nope!" She retorted while skipping into my room.
What more could I do, you never went against Alice unless you had a death wish. Despite the turn of events I was happy with the outcome. I soon followed after Alice. I took a peak and saw Alice tucking the child in, careful not to wake her. When she finished, we both stepped back into the living room.
"So, since it's decided she's staying we'll need to gather a few supplies." Carlisle stated.
"I'll take care of her clothes!" Alice didn't give anyone a chance to say otherwise, nor did anyone want to in fear of the consequences.
"I'll get the tike's food! Rose wanna come with? Please?" Emmett said while giving Rose his best puppy dog face.
She smiled at his effort "Fine."
"Jasper you're coming with me!" Alice just smiled, knowing that her husband would comply.
Jasper just nodded in defeat. I laughed.
"Wonderful! I'll get everything set for the new room." Esme said enthusiastically. Everyone knew how much she loves to decorate, she was going to convert our guess room into the girl's new bedroom.
"I guess everything is set and ready to go for tomorrow." I said.
"Argh! That's too far away! I want to go shopping now!" Alice frowned.
"Alice, be reasonable. The mall isn't even open yet. It's 11:30 at night." Jasper was trying with great effort to calm down his wife.
"Oh alright." Alice finally surrendered.
I left everyone in the living room, letting them sort through their problems themselves. I quietly opened the door to my room, so not to disturb the girl, pulled up a chair and seated myself across my couch. And there I remained for the rest of the night, and watched this little angel sleep.

BPOV
I woke up in an unfamiliar place. What's going on? Where am I? I was scared, I don't remember anything except my name. I started to cry. I didn't like being alone, it was scary.
I heard a noise coming from the bushes. Suddenly a man with red eyes was coming near me.
"Come here child, I can help you" his smile wasn't right. I didn't want to go anywhere near this man, so I did the only thing I knew. I curled myself into a ball, I tried to protect myself from him. I could hear him coming closer, I was so scared. And then I screamed, hoping that someone would help me.
That's when I heard the man gasping and I felt something warm and wet splash onto me, soon followed by a loud thud to the ground. I looked up and saw the man on the ground. He wasn't moving anymore. There was another person standing over him, his hands covered in a red liquid. I looked down on my hands and saw it was on me too. How did it get there?
I looked back up, only to see that the other person was kneeling in front of me. He wore a black cape, it was over his face so I couldn't see him. But somehow I knew I was safe with him.
"Bella, are you alright?" he asked.
I only nodded.
"I'm glad to hear that, I was really worried about you." He quickly turned to the side and then back at me.
I wanted to know what he saw, so I looked too. There was a boy standing there, I turned back to the hooded man.
"You see that boy?" I nodded "He's going to take care of you for a while, do you understand?" I nodded again.
The boy was coming closer, but then stopped when he saw the scary man on the floor.
"Everything will be alright, I promise Bella. You know you can trust me." Then the hooded man stood and turned to face the boy.
"Watch over her until I return." Was all the man said, when a gust of wind blinded me. I looked up only to see that the hooded man was gone, but the boy stayed. I watched him, to see what he would do next. He took steps towards me and said, "Hi there, are you ok?" And then he smiled.
I just kept waiting for him to do something, and he continued, "Why don't you come with me, I promise I won't hurt you. I only want to help." He reached out towards me. I looked at the hand, and without thinking I ran into his chest and held on tight. He lifted himself and me off the ground and started walking.
"So….What's your name?"
I said nothing, too tired to speak. He started making funny faces and I almost laughed.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
When he came to a stop, I looked up to see a big building. It was really pretty. The boy started walking up the steps and was about to open the door when….
"Edward, where have you been?! I've been calling you all night? What have yo….." the funny lady looked at me with big eyes.
"She would be a human, you know those creatures we spend our days with at school?"
Why did the boy say this? No one said anything.
"Not what I meant! I mean what is she doing here and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Why is she covered in blood?!! What happened?!!!" the lady started screaming.
I started hearing a lot of noises coming from the big building. I wonder what they were.
"Didn't you see anything?" The boy answered to no one again! What was wrong with him? He was weird.
"No Edward, I didn't see anything. One minute you're hunting and then the next you're gone, you just disappeared. It was like you entered a shield or something. I can't really explain it. Why do you think I've been calling you nonstop, we were all worried."
I wonder what they were talking about.
"Sorry everyone, I don't know I wasn't really thinking about anything other than her the whole way here. It's so strange, I can't read her mind."
Everyone had a funny face on. "I knew I had the same expression." I was so confused.
"Dude, you've got to tell us what happened." A really big man said. I was scared now, what if he was going to eat me?! Before I could protest, the boy, 'Edward' entered the building. Not good.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
When Edward finished his story, a pretty man with blond hair said, "In all my years, I've never come across anything like this before." Then he looked almost sad "Did you get a good look at the figure's face at all?"
"No none, even with our sight I could get anything."
"Hmmm, I'll make some calls to see if anyone's heard or seen this person before." The pretty man stood and vanished into another room.
"Well, you've had quite a night." A nice lady said.
"Yeah" Edward said while looking at me. I still held on to him.
I looked at him, waiting to see what he would do next.
"Edward, I think we should get her cleaned up. I don't think it's fair for Jasper to be locked up in his room all night, do you?"
"Oh, yes of course. Sorry. But we don't have anything for her to wear."
The funny lady gave a scary smile, "Don't you worry about that dear brother. I'll take care of everything!" Then she went up the stairs and I heard strange noises coming from the room she entered.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up." Edward said to me as he took us upstairs.
"What are you going to do with her afterwards Edward? She can't stay here." The really pretty lady said to Edward.
"What else can we do?"
"Hello? We can drop her off at the hospital, they will take care of everything else. Come on Edward, what's with you? Aren't you suppose to be the most sensible one?"
I was scared, I didn't want to go anywhere. The hooded man told me that I would be safe with Edward and I believe that!
"I know, but somehow I don't think that's the best decision." He looked at me and gave me a sad smile. "I can't explain it Rose, I just"
"Whatever." The really pretty lady said and started walking closer.
"Here, let me do it. You're taking forever! Move!" She shouted at Edward. He moved.
"Go get some towels and shut the door, you're letting all the cold air come in!"
As soon as Edward left, she smiled at me. I only started.
"It's ok, everything will be fine. Let's get you all nice and clean, is that ok?" She asked me nicely. I nodded. She wasn't as scary as I thought she was, so I let her clean me while waiting for Edward to come back.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"All done!" The funny girl announced, while holding me in her arms.
"Alice, do I even want to know where you got those clothes?"
"Nope! Doesn't she look adorable?!" she said with admiration.
"Of course, she's so cute!" the nice lady said.
"Edward, what are you planning to do with her?" said a creepy guy behind Edward.
"I'm not really sure myself, Jasper. All I know is I can't just leave her somewhere like a hospital or an orphanage. Not after all she's been through."
I heard a door open and turned to see the pretty man coming down the stairs.
"No one's heard or seen him before. I'm worried." he turned toward Edward "Edward, are you sure that he told you to watch after her? This isn't something we can pass as coincidence."
Edward nodded "I agree, and yes I'm positive that's what he told me. So what do, propose now Carlisle?"
"I know it would be best to turn her over to the authorities, but given the circumstances with the stranger I don't believe it would be safest course of action to take. Until we figure a few things out, she will have to stay with us."
"Yeah!" "Awesome!" "Wonderful" came from all directions. I wanted to celebrate the party with everyone when I became tired. So I yawned.
"Somebody's tired." Laughed the big guy. "Where's the shrimp going to sleep?"
"I vote Edward's room!" the funny lady shouted and ran up the stairs.
"Hey don't I get a vote in this? It's my room?!" Edward screamed from downstairs.
"Nope!" She said while skipping into a room.
She gently lowered me onto a bed and covered me with a blanket. My eyes were getting really heavy and I couldn't keep them open any longer. The last thing I saw before drifting off to sleep was Edward entering the room and smiling at me.
A/N: ok, so what do you think? Should I keep going or stop right now? Be honest. I'll only continue this one if there are readers who like it. My other story I do plan to finish. Anyways, thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
