Brand New Beginning

chapter three

       It was getting dark out now and I could see the moon peak above the trees. The cops kept asking me questions about who i was but i went with a lie. I told them my real name, which is Nicollete, but told them a fake last name, Anderson. He asked who my parents are, again I gave him half the truth and half a lie. Moms dead, Father dead. Then they questioned whether to give me to an orphanage or not. I was sixteen, i only had two more years until I could live alone. But to them, sixteen was very young. Aparantly my nose was broken aswell and they put this thing on my nose. I couldn't smell anything, but something was off about the doctor.

      Suddenly the skinny cop said the words I didn't want to hear. "I could adopt her. Bella is almost out of Highschool and I will be all alone." The fat cop seemed pleased with this idea but the doctor didn't. "Its up to the court to see about that" he said. Then it became to late for them so they left saying their goodbyes to me and the doctor. I sighed and lay down, those stupid dogs will pay for this. The doctor came back and sat down next to me. I sat up and stared at him for a moment before realizing about my eyes. I looked in the mirror but somehow they were a dark brown. I thouched the top of my cheek. "They are contacts, i put them on when you were unconscious" he explained.

       I turned toward him and began to sit up. I removed the nose thing and as soon as it was off I knew what he was. I hissed and jumped to the far side of the room. "I am not here to hurt you. I just want to explain something to you." he explained getting up. I looked at him and didn't know whether or not i should trust him. "If you are going to stay here there are some rules." he walked closer to me but i hissed and backed up even more. He stopped and sat at the end of my bed. "If you stay then you can't harm any of the humans. If you do there will be consequences. It would be wonderful if you stay here. We will welcome you warmly."

        By now i had walked a little bit toward him and have stopped hissing. "How many vampires live here?" I asked, maybe a little to harshly but i didn't care at the moment. "Seven, including me" he answered. That is a lot of vampires i wonder how they stand each other. "My family and I would be happy to welcome you into our home" he offered but I didn't want to be near them right now. I shook my head and put my hands together in front of me. "Well then i guess the court will be putting you with charlie" he said. The cop, or Charlie, seemed like a pretty nice guy. "By the way my name is Carlisle Cullen" he said extending his hand to me. I took it and nodded, maybe hes not so bad. "Well Ibetter get home, I will see you tomorrow. Here are another set of contacts put them on in the morning when someone checks on you" he said then started to walk toward the door. "Thank you" i said then put the contacts by the bed and sat by the window not looking back at him. "Your Welcome" he said then left.
