Anastasia lay in her hospital bed, staring at the ceiling. Her mind was a mess of feelings-sadness, confusion, and a lingering sense of depression from her past life. She had always thought it was safer to be alone, given how often she had been hurt. Now, even in her new life, she was alone again, with her parents gone.

One day, something strange happened. A small, glowing screen appeared in front of her, like a game.

The screen didn't explain much. It showed a point counter, which went up whenever someone liked her or felt affection towards her.

Most of her points were surprisingly given by her doctor Carlisle.

The conversations with nurses around me often gave points too

One day, Esme and Alice came to see her. Esme smiled warmly. "Hi, Anastasia. How are you feeling today? I made light snacks for Carlisle and here's your share."

"I'm okay, " Anastasia replied softly while taking a bite of the cookies. "It tastes good." The screen pinged again.

Alice, with her cheerful demeanor, sat by her bed. " Get well soon then we'll go shopping "

Anastasia smiled a little. "Haha okay" The points went up again.

They seem odd but somehow it feels good to be surrounded by them.

At first, Anastasia didn't understand what these points were for. But exploring this mysterious system made her feel a bit curious, breaking through her sadness. She found out she could use the points to get new abilities and skills through a lottery.

One evening, she decided to use her points. The screen displayed a spinning wheel, which eventually stopped, revealing her first reward.

There were no instructions, but she soon noticed that whenever she felt happy or sad, the weather around her changed. The sky brightened when she was happy and darkened when she was sad.

She decided not let anyone know about her powers. She feared of being a scientific experiment or getting into mental hospital for saying something crazy like this.

Despite this new ability, Anastasia still felt heavy-hearted. She found herself drawn to Carlisle in a way she didn't understand. He was kind and caring, always making her feel safe. But it made her sad knowing she was just a ten-year-old girl, while he was much older.

She chuckled to herself, thinking, "Maybe I have a thing for older men."

The Cullens, who had been visiting her regularly, had a special vibe. They were unusual but fascinating.

The day came when Anastasia was to leave the hospital. There was talk of putting her in foster care, which made her anxious. She didn't want to be alone again.

The Cullens, having grown fond of Anastasia, had a family meeting. They decided to adopt her. It wasn't just out of sympathy; they genuinely cared about her, especially Carlisle.

When Carlisle told her the news, Anastasia felt a mix of relief and gratitude. "You mean, I'll live with you?"

"Yes," Carlisle said gently. "We want you to be part of our family."

Anastasia's heart lifted. She was no longer alone. She had a family now. Despite still grappling with her feelings and the strange system, life seemed a bit more interesting. She was ready to face whatever came next, with the Cullens by her side.
