Third Person POV

Indiana was in a forest in Alaska, just outside Petersville. She's nine years old and has been an orphan since her parents were murdered five years ago. She was found in Denali National park with a bear. The rangers believed she'd lived in the park for three months with the animals. Anyway they took her and dumped her in the nearest orphanage.

Back to the story. Indiana goes into the forest every chance she gets, she feels more at home surrounded by animals. In fact she understands them. Or what they try to say. Today she's with a moose herd riding the bull's back.

"I wish I could live out here, it's so lonely back at the orphanage" Indiana tells the moose. Not knowing Carlisle and Esme were watching her. "But even if I ran away, they'd just find me again and take me back" she pouts. The moose says something and she smiles gently patting it's neck.

Just then a loud whistle sound is heard and they all look in the direction of the sound. Indiana sighs getting off the bull's back. "I have to go now, see you around" she says before running towards the town. Carlisle and Esme look at each other.

"Do you think she's the child Alice saw?" Esme asks Carlisle.

"Yes, we must protect her" Carlisle tells her.

"Looks like we're adding a new addition to the family" Esme says smiling. They go into town and ask around. Soon arrive at the local orphanage. To see children lined up as several couples looked at them and talked to a few.

"Good afternoon, my name is Jenna and I ran this orphanage. Are you here to adopt?" Jenna asks them.

"Yes, a young girl" Esme tells her smiling.

"Well you're in luck, it's adoption day and all children are available for adoption. But I'll need your details" Jenna tells her.

"I'll give you details, while my husband looks at the girls" Esme tells her. Carlisle kisses her forehead before the girls went to reception area.  "So we have five foster children, who are about to go to college. This time we wanted to adopt someone younger. As we usually foster teenagers" she explains.

"Amazing, do you have a contact from the orphanage you fostered them from?" Jenna asks. Esme gives her a fake business card with Carmen's number on it. Jenna calls the number.

Carlisle finally spots Indiana by herself playing with stuffed animal toys. He smiles and sits down beside her. "Hello, I'm Carlisle. What's your name?" he asks her.

"Indiana" she says absentmindedly.

"How old are you?" he asks.

"Nine" she says after thinking. "Will you play with me?" she asks him. Carlisle nods his head and she hands him lion. "You're the predator, trying to catch me" she states and then runs away with a toy doe. He chuckles running after her at a human pace while she giggles. When he catches her he tickles her making her laugh.

After Jenna finished talking to Carmen, she gave Esme forms to fill out. They then returned to the play room to see Carlisle reading to Indiana. "Having fun?" Esme asks smiling and they look up.

"Indiana, this is my wife Esme" Carlisle tells her and she waves at her. "How'd the talk go?" he asks the women.

"Great, everything is cleared. Now you just have to chose a girl to adopt" Jenna tells him.

"Hm, what do you think Esme?" he asks looking at Indiana. Who looks up at him confused. "Think she'd fit in with the others?" he asks.

"I think Rosalie will adore her" Esme says smiling.
