Amelia woke up early with a slight burning sensation on her throat, she touched it and mentally cursed herself for not having dressed warmer the previous day, rubbing her eyes she got up and walked to the bathroom and showered, when she was washing her teeth, she looked to the mirror and jumped back and 20 feet into the air as a strangled scream escaped her lips, her eyes were red just like her old family's eyes were. She closed them for a moment before reopening them and seeing the familiar brownish green iris she usually had.

Walking back to her room and got dressed in a pair of jeans, a sweatshirt and put on her high top sneakers and let her brown hair soon to be red cascade down her back gracefully, she then put on her Harry Potter related necklace and a ring that Renee had given her for her 13th birthday. She then grabbed her phone and walked downstairs just as Bella walked out of the kitchen probably to wake her up. "Ohh morning." they said laughing slightly, "I was going to tell you Charlie is ready to leave." Bella says hugging her sister.

Amelia nodded and grabbed an apple and a granola bar before following Charlie to his cruiser "You ready?" the elder man asks as he buckled his seat belt, "Most definitely." Amelia smiled with her pearly white teeth. The two drove silently to the hairdresser, Charlie looking at the road and Amelia lost in a thought, about the dark haired boy with crimson red eyes that she couldn't stop thinking about, "Alecxander..." she whispered with a small frown on her face "What are you doing to me?" she added still in a whisper, unfortunately seeing the car was a close compartment Charlie heard, " Who's Alecxander? Is he from around here?" he asked intrigued, a ghost smile flew to her lips as she look at her guardian and said "Alecxander is not from here, he's from Italy and we kind of hated each other, he treated me awfully while I was there but after yesterday's conversation with mom, he's the only thing I can think of." 

Charlie hummed and said "What did he do to you?" Amelia smiled honestly and said "All kind of things from teasing me for all the wrong reasons to shutting me out whenever we actually had a decent conversation." nodding Charlie parked the car and looked at his adoptive daughter, in a way, and told her with a kind smile "If he gives you too much of a thought then you clearly like him." Amelia nodded and reached over to hug him, Charlie hugged her back awkwardly allowing the girl to bury her face on his neck and inhale his scent. Unfortunately Charlie's scent an the fact that she had her face on his neck made the burning sensation grow intensely.

Pulling back she placed a strained fake smile on her lips and got out, instantly heading inside the hairdresser, "Hello how may I help you?" A woman in her late 30's asked, "Hello I would like to paint my hair red." she said, her eyes fixating themselves on the human's neck, "Sure thing sweetheart come on with me." the lady said and Amelia followed her and sat on a chair.

*Time skips*

"There, you look gorgeous sweetheart." the woman said and allowed Amelia to look into the mirror.

And her mouth opened slightly.

"I love it." she croaked, her voice cracking as the girl in the mirror's eyes changed back to red, "We'll don't get it too wet." the woman said laughing before she turned away and went to take the trash out, subconsciously Amelia got up and followed her, her petite and silent figure following the woman's and when she was putting the trash in the container, Amelia sprang into action.

She grabbed a small stone and hit it against the woman's head making her fall back into her arms, the sweet scent of blood filled her nostrils and she couldn't resist anymore, she moved the woman's head to the side and leaned into her neck and bite into the soft and tender skin, tearing it open, allowing the the metallic and bittersweet liquid fill her mouth, she opened her eyes wide and moaned at the taste of it. "Stop!" A motherly voice said and startled Amelia who jumped up letting go of the woman's body, what fell on the floor on top of broken bottle shards.

Quickly turning around Amelia saw a woman with a heart shaped face, bronze eyes and and a shocked look on her face, blood dripped from the Amelia's chin causing the woman to look at it slightly longingly, "Come with me." the woman said, Amelia took a step back making the woman sigh and say "I promise I won't hurt you." staying still the new redhead looked at the woman that was walking towards her, "My name is Esme Cullen and I can help you if you let me." she said extending her hand, Amelia hesitantly took Esme's hand.
