POV: ALANNA

March 6, 2005
8:16 am

I was awaken by the loud crash that came from downstairs without realizing where I was I jumped to the conclusion that it was my sisters I tried going back to sleep but the noise was too loud to tune out, as I gain consciousness I realized that I wasn't in my room and I don't own any black silky pjs like the one I was wearing. Another loud crash came from downstairs again but this time I could hear some voices shouting back and forth at each other and some laughter.

I immediately sat up on the bed and felt around for my nokia phone once I found it beside my pillow I opened it to see a bunch of miss calls from my sisters and my mom.

Chihuahua - 13 missed calls
Emo Brat - 9 missed calls
Mom - 22 missed calls

'I'm so fucked' I muttered to myself. I grabbed a handful of my hair and ruffled it before looking around the room I was currently in. The bed sheets were mostly black and white, the walls where a creamy color, the ceiling was black, beside the bed were plants, infront of the bed was a big tv. I stood up and as I was about to leave the room I looked to my side where I saw a desk with a lot of things on it plus a mirror and behind the bed there was a wall separating the bed and a closet full of clothes. I walked over to the big mirror and made sure I look presentable because I was sure that I was in Rosalie's house and it was her family downstairs making all the noises. After using the brush on the messy desk to comb my hair I exited the bedroom.

The hallway of the house wasn't very interesting in fact it was very plain but my interest was peaked as I headed down the stair way. On the wall was a big frame filled with graduation caps which was very weird but I just brushed it off because they probably bought it from a flee market or something and as I walked further there were also some tribal masks on the wall which looked very cool.

As I was nearing the end of the staircase the noises became louder and my view became clearer. By another door way stood a short brunette woman who wasn't someone I had seems at school before so I'm guessing she must be Mrs. Cullen and the arm around her shoulders must belong to Mr. Cullen since he matched the description. As I reached the end of the stairway I was able to see everything including Alice and Jasper sitting on the cold wooden floor laughing at the sight before them, infront of them was Emmett on the floor and Rosalie on top of him choking the boy and on the side was another blonde trying to break them up who I'm guessing is the Claire, Rosalie's other sister. Edward was no where to be seen. It seemed like the family was to focused on the fight to even notice my presence well that was before Alice turned her head in my direction while laughing and basically screamed my name causing the whole family to look at me in shock.

"I knew I smelled human" Said emmett who was being pinned down by my now girlfriend

I gave them a shy smile and a wave as greeting and brushed off the weird comment. Mrs. Cullen was the first to rush over to me followed by her husband, she had a warm and welcoming smile while Mr. Cullen had a tight smile. Mrs. Cullen stretched her arms out for a hug which I nervously accepted. Just like her daughter she was cold, 'Maybe it runs in the family' I thought to myself. After she let go I was pulled in another hug, this time by Alice.

"Good morning Ally! How was your date last night"she said whispering in my ears

"It was amazing, thank you Alice" I replied hugging the girl tightly. After she let go I realized that I was basically surrounded by the whole family. I glanced around me and looked for the Claire and once I spotted her I rushed over to her pulling Alice with me. Once I was in front of her I pulled her and Alice into a tight hug.

"Thank you both for helping Rosalie yesterday!" I whispered in their ears and in response they just hugged me back tightly. Our moment was interrupted I looked over to see who it was and of course it was none other than the girl of my dreams, Rosalie. I released Alice and Claire and rushed over to her I gave the girl a tight hug before she started pulling me over to the kitchen she gently pushed me to sit down by the table and ran over to the kitchen counter. The rest of the family followed us over to the kitchen, Claire and Alice both took a seat beside me Jasper also sat beside Alice not leaving her side. I felt a cold hand grab my shoulder I looked behind me and saw Emmett who was giving me a comforting smile.

"So what do you want for breakfast?" Asked Rosalie, I put my attention back on the girl in front of me before responding

"Hmmm eggs?"

The blonde smiled and got to work while I just started a conversation with the family.

"Did you guys already eat?" I asked and Esme was the first to respond

"Yes we did don't worry."

"So Alanna tell us more about yourself" Asked Claire who's aussie accent was very noticeable.

"Hmm sure! I'm 18 turning 19 in two months, I live with my two sisters and my mom, I like fashion like A LOT! I could talk about it for hours, I like chocolate, sometimes designing things, and most importantly I really like your sister"

The family all gushed at my last response while Rosalie focused on my breakfast but even if she was facing the opposite direction I could still see the smile on her face.

Me and the family continued talking about various topics but I suddenly remembered about the events that happened yesterday with the family and Scarlet.

"By the way where's Scarlet" I asked and after those words left my mouth everyone just stopped became silent including Rosalie who had her jaw clenched at the mention of Scarlet. The silence was awkward and tense, it felt like I had touched an wanted topic. Charlisle was the first to answer.

"Scarlet isn't with us anymore"

My jaw dropped at his words. She was dead? I slammed my hands down on the table startling the two girls beside me.

"She's dead!?" I basically screamed. After a few seconds randomly the Cullens just bursted up into laughter well all of them except Rosie. Rosalie put the plate with the eggs infront me.

"No she's not she just went back to Seattle to her family" Rosalie said with a neutral tone and look on her face I just responded with O. I grabbed a fork and dig into the eggs but once I did I felt sick. The eggs were barley cooked and extremely salty, I'm an extremely picky eater so I liked my eggs done a certain way so since it wasn't I felt like throwing up. I tried my best to keep a smile on my face to not disappoint Rosalie but it seems like Jasper caught on, he slowly move the plate away from me and pushed it towards Rosalie. Rosie and Alice both had a confused look on their faces and before Jasper could explain his reasoning Claire beat him to it while I tried swallowing the 'poison' in my mouth.

"Rosalie the eggs aren't fully cooked" said the aussie

"No no it's fine I can eat it" I said gaining a concern look from Claire which I brushed off, I grabbed the fork once again and picked at the egg. I watched as the egg dripped as I was putting it in my mouth.

"mmmm"I moaned tasting the disgusting eggs, I tried my hardest to swallow the thing but once all the salt started to kick in I rushed to the sink and started spitting it all out. While I was trying to get the awful taste out of my mouth Claire grabbed the plate and got a whiff of the smell.

"JESUS ROSALIE HOW MUCH SALT DID YOU PUT IN THAT THING" Claire shouted while walking over to the empty looking fridge where she grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to me. I grabbed it happily and gurgled it in my mouth.

"Only a spoon full" She said softly

"A SPOON FULL?!" shouted the family in unison. They all rushed to my side and after a couple minutes of trying to get the taste fully out of my mouth Rosalie guided me back upstairs to her room where she apologized a hundred times. She let me shower in her bathroom while Alice lent me some jeans and Claire lent me a cute baby blue crop top. After getting dressed and covering all the hickeys on my neck I asked Rosalie to drop me home.

The ride home was filled with comfortable silence. Once we arrived I watched as Rosalie drove away before turning towards the house and admiring the silence around me because I knew as soon as I entered the house I was going to me bombarded with questions by everyone.
