Silence filled the vehicle as we drove down the long narrow road that had a line of trees on each side. Each tree we passed at the speed limit of sixty five caused my head to spin. That thirst still crept up in my throat. A burning sensation that gave me the urge to drain the next human I saw. 
By what Jacob has told me, I'm a Vampire. Funny right? Yeah, no. I am completely frustrated at this whole situation. like who in the world turned me into this? And why did they?
    "We're here." He says as we pull outside a large glass house. The beauty of it brought my mouth to an "O" shape. It looked familiar.
Much like….

I was brought out of my thought by the sound of the engine being turned off, and the sight of a huge, beautiful house being displayed right before my eyes. 
      "Come on Ilthyia." Bella spoke calmly looking at me with a small smile
I was so thankful she didn't show any judgement or disappointment towards me for being so young, and pregnant. I returned the smile before getting out myself

A vision flashed before my eyes. More like a flashback due to the fact I looked to be human, and pregnant?Bella? Was that my sister. She was very beautiful. With her long brown hair, dark chocolate eyes, heart shaped face, and lovely eyelashes. Realizing Jacon was waiting on me to get out. I unbuckled my seatbelt, and got out. I felt nervous, I don't know why. If I was family then wouldn't she be happy to see me. Well, then again. I don't know how I left this world. So what if she killed me. Okay, now that is a little too dramatic. 
    "Ready?" He asked standing beside me and holding his hand out. I didn't know whether or not I should take it or run away, but I allowed him to lock hands with mine and lead me to the house. 

One Hour Earlier

The Cullen family was on about their own daily affairs. Carlisle working in his office, Esme preparing meals for Nessie, Jasper reading, Alice shopping online, Emmett watching sports games, Edward playing on the piano, Bella watching Nessie draw, and Rosalie was relaxing on the couch with little Sapphire in her arms. Sapphire had been growing into such a beautiful little girl. Everyday someone noticed a feature she had that resembled her mother. Bella couldn't help but dry sob when she would be alone with the baby. Seeing her little sister be in her niece caused her to miss Ilithyia more and more. She sometimes blamed herself for not being here to keep her safe. So Bella made it her job to protect her niece no matter what. 
That included keeping Alec from being able to take Sapphire.
 Aro believed if Alec had something to hold onto, meaning Sapphire. Then he'd be able to keep some kind of sanity. Bella knew Aro just wanted the child to give to his wife. Never would Bella allow her niece to be in the hands of any other. 
  "Hey Bella look at this-." Alice starts only to be hit with a vision that causes her to drop her phone and gasps for unneeded air. Jasper, sensing his wife was having a vision speed to her and held her hand. This causes the entire family to pile into the living room.
Edward being able to see into the vision. Was able to answer Bella immediately when she looked up at him with a questioning look. 
     "It seems we will be having a visit from a long lost family member." 

We slowly approached the front door. Once we got at least three feet away the door was swung open by a female. Immediately I was harshly brought into a hug. I blinked away my shock as her smell flooded my senses. Her hair, the same brown as I saw in my flashback. The only thing different about this girl was the ice cold skin, and yellow eyes. 
     "Bella?" I questioned lowly mainly to myself, but she still could hear me. She cupped my face and examined me carefully. Her eyes bore into my very own as if she was looking for some type of answer to her unknown questions. I couldn't help but smile, it seemed as if We've known each other forever. Seeing that she was and is my sister. I can agree with this feeling. 
My memory smears still fuzzy, but from what I could tell as of now. Was that Bella is my sister, and Jacob is a close friend. Yep, I'm doing good. Hopefully these are the only people o have to know, and remember. This stuff hurts my head. 
     "Oh I can't wait for you to meet Renesmee!" Bella says with a look full of excitement as she pulls me inside. 
My eyes widen in shock at the unknown name. 
    "Who?!" I ask hoping this person wasn't someone of importance. 
    "Your niece!" 
Shoot, now that's another person I'll have to remember.
We came into a room filled with a bunch of people who, of course looked familiar. My head started to hurt even more, and spin as each person's name filled my head. 

"My name is Carlisle Cullen, or Dr. Cullen. This is my wonderful wife Esme. Our adoptive daughters Rosalie, and Alice. Our adoptive sons Emmet and Jasper, plus Edward. " Carlisle introduced his whole family to me, not once losing that welcoming smile on his face. I looked at each of them with a smile. They were in fact a beautiful family.

Blinking away yet another vision of my memories, I looked at each of them in the eyes. Matching their names with their faces was not a very hard thing to do. The same feeling I had with Bella went through me as I locked eyes with Rosalie. I could sense we shared a very close bond. I just wished I could remember everything clearly. 
     "It's so good to see you Ilithyia. Oh how we all missed and mourned you. So glad the transformation worked." The woman Esme says getting up to pull me into her embrace. I hugged back with a smile gracing my features. 
Though she was as cold as ice, the hug she gave me was as warm as a summer's night in Texas. It was a hug of love that only a mom could give. That was exactly how it felt, and I loved every second of it. 
     "Renesmee come down here real quick." Bella called out for her daughter as Rosalie came to hug my once Esme pulled away. 
     "Oh I've missed you little dove." She says squeezing me in her arms. Now if I were human still, this would be enough to suffocate me. 
A young girl who looked to be around twelve came joyfully hopping down the stairs into the room. 
   "Yes mama?" She asked walking over to where Bella sat. Looking at the girl caused my non-beating heart to clench. I felt a longing, more like a hole in my chest as I saw the child cling to her mom. It felt as if I once had that or wanted that. It's so hard to put it into words but I knew deep down that I was supposed to have that. The love for a child, and from a child. 
      "This is your Aunty I was telling you about. Ilithyia this is Renesmee, Renesmee this is your Aunt Ilithyia. " Bella introduced us and the girl's face instantly lit up. She came over to me and put her hand on my cheek.
I was brought into a storm of memories. From when she was born, to her first words, and her first time walking. How she has been growing everyday inch by inch. Then a man appeared in her memories. He was tall, pale skin tone, red eyes, dark brown hair. Oh he was a catch. He also looked very familiar, but unfortunately just seeing him in her memories wasn't enough to trigger my own. 
   "That was extraordinary." I said as she pulled her hand back and looked me in the eyes with her soft smile. 
    "And you little one, are extremely beautiful. " I compliment her and start to tickle her. Her laughter filled the air as she ran off and hid behind her mom. The smile never once fading off her face.Straightening back up I looked at everyone with a smile. It felt good not to be in a coffin underground that was for sure. 
     "You must be thirsty." Edward says as he gets up and walks over to me.
That of course caused me to be reminded of the growing pain in my throat. Allowing my hand to wrap around the small of my neck. I looked up at him and nodded my head. 
He nodded his head and looked back towards Bella. 
     "I'll take her hunting." Bella smiles and nods back as she also. Taking the hand of Renesmee she heads out the back door.

      "Ready?" Edward asked as he walks with me to the front porch.
      "Readier than I'll ever be." I replied as we speed off into the nearby woods.


This could be a life I could get used to.
