*Genevieve*

In the 1960s, Theo and I had officially gotten engaged, much to the delight of the Denali's. 

We got married later that year, in a small ceremony attended by only the Denali's and Nicolas, who I had asked to come and walk me down the aisle, seeing as he was my brother.

We continued to live in Alaska for another 40 years, before deciding to leave, both of us wanting to see more parts of the world rather than staying in one place forever. 

Tanya thought it over for a few days before eventually recommending us to stay with the Cullens, the only other known vegetarian coven, who was currently in the process of moving to a small town called Forks, Washington.

We took another week, packing our bags and getting ready to start the long drive towards Forks. 

Eventually, both of us stepped away from the packed car to say our final goodbyes, looking over toward the house and smiling when we saw everyone outside waiting for us, sad smiles on everyone's faces. 

Tanya swiftly pulled me into a tight hug, making me promise to visit often, which I happily agreed to. I pulled away and sent her a soft smile, thanking her for all that she had done for me. 

After a few minutes, I reluctantly let go of her and started to move on to the rest of the family, hugging each of them with the same emotion as I reluctantly said my goodbyes. Theo doing the same behind me, albeit with fewer tears and wild emotions.

After we had said our goodbyes, we both got into the car and began the long drive. Theo reaches out to hold my hand, making sure to keep one hand on the wheel. I sadly looked out the window as I watched the snowy terrain pass in a blur of white. 

"Ready for a new adventure?" Theo asked, turning his head slightly to look at me. 

I turned my head away from the window and nodded my head, a small smile appearing on my face. 

As sad as it was to leave Denali, we were both eager and excited for a change.

After nearly two days straight of driving, we arrived at the address that Tanya had given us. 

Theo looked at me and shared a silent look before we both stepped out of the car, looking around at the tall, green trees in wonder.

"Hello," a voice greeted. 

Almost immediately Theo was in front of me, gently pushing me behind him, keeping his eyes on whoever had spoken as his body tensed, ready, if need be, to fight our way out. 

I peeked out from behind him and quickly looked over the man who stood in front of us. His bright gold eyes and polite demeanor made me feel like we were in the right place.

"Who are you?" Theo asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. 

The blond man gave us a reassuring smile, holding his hands up as if to show that he wasn't a potential threat.

"I'm Carlisle," he introduced kindly, "who might you be?"

"I'm Theodore," Theo said, straightening up. 

I quickly stepped to the side of Theo, making myself more clear to the man, whose gaze turned towards me. "My name is Genevieve... Tanya said that you were friends?"
