A/N: I know I should quit as an author but I'm finishing my books. I apologize for a long wait but I will try to update sooner. Please read the author's note the end of the chapter I would really appreciate it. Anyway... on with the story.

~Bella's POV~

I was just staring at the new doll in fear. I didn't know if she was nice.
"Staring is rude you know." I snapped out of my trance and stumbled to my feet.
"Come on kid. Let's get going." I looked up at the sky roof and saw the sky lighten up. I hurried and grabbed both dolls and hiked it back to the hotel. I was about to into hotel when I got that feeling of being watched again. I looked out into the forest but didn't see anything. I turned my head but not before seeing a streak of something moving in the forest. It was moving really fast. I hurried into the hotel and up to the room mommy was in. I opened the door and closed it quietly.
"Bella?" I jumped but realized it was only mommy. I was somewhat scared and I wasn't sure of what. The thing moving in the forest or the new doll. Chucky explained barbie mode to her so she wouldn't be doing anything while anyone but me and Chucky were in her presence. I put the dolls down and went to hug mommy. I knew she didn't get up this early so I knew she had a nightmare. I must have scared her because she was hugging me tightly to her.
"It's alright mommy."

~Bella's POV~

I was sitting in my room playing with Chucky and Tiffany while mom was out at the store. It usually takes her an hour or an hour and a half at the store so I had some time before she cane home.
"Chucky, Tiffany you can come out now."
"Finally. I hate barbie mode."
"You'll get used to it." I heard a growl and just rolled my eyes. I learned to like them. I liked Tiffany a lot but she hates me. I had a phone now, with internet, so I was checking my social media accounts. Yes accounts; I have a Facebook account, an Instagram account, and a Tumblr account. I didn't use Instagram that much but I just loved the things people put up. I didn't have very many friends only really Chucky and Tiffany.
I was looking at my Tumblr account when the doorbell rang. Mom always told me to never answer the door if I was home alone but I was curious. No one would ring the doorbell at... 8:30 pm? Mom should have been home by now. I hurried to the door and opened it to see two officers standing there, towering over me. I gulped. When the cops were here it was never good.
"Are you Miss Swan?" I nodded.
"I'm sorry, Miss Swan, but you're mother was in a car accident. She's dead." I couldn't comprehend what was being said except those two words; she's dead. They kept bouncing around in my head that they wouldn't sink in. I was rooted to the spot and all I could see was my mother's face, telling me that everything was going to be fine. I didn't believe that. I was an orphan now.
"Miss Swan, do you want to come down to the station? We'll take care of you until someone can pick you up. Do you have any relatives or any family you know of?"
"All my family is dead. No one would want me." My voice sounded dead to my ears. I'm pretty sure it did as well to theirs by their facial expressions. I kept the door opened and went upstairs to get my dolls. I never go anywhere without them. I put my finger to my lips to tell them barbie mode. I grabbed each of them and went back downstairs. The officers were waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"I'm ready to go." I followed one officer while the other was behind me. I wasn't going to see this house anymore. I silently said my goodbyes. I was in the back of the car looking at the house when I thought I saw my mother standing at the door smiling. I smiled back even though I knew she wouldn't come back.
It didn't take long to reach the station. We pulled up to the curb so that I could get out. The officer on the passenger side got out and led me inside. I was thinking all the way here who would take me. None of my family were alive. I wasn't sure if any of my mom's friends would take me. A thought came to me; the Cullens. They seemed nice and I did like Esme and Carlisle. I could see if they have mommy's phone. She might have put one of their numbers in there.
"Do you have mommy's phone?" The officer looked down and nodded. He exchanged a few words with someone that was behind the desk. Their name tag said J. Taylor. The woman passed mommy's phone to me when she found it. It was on so I opened it up and went into her contacts. I was looking through it until I saw a name that said Esme Cullen. I showed it to the officer and asked if I could call her. He nodded his head and guided me into a private room. I dialed the number. She picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Esme, it's me, Bella. Something happened to mommy."

Ohh cliffhanger. What do think Esme will do/say? Will she adopt Bella and bring along the dangers unknown to them? Read, vote, and add to your reading lists if you haven't already.
