"Something's getting in the way

Somethings just about to break

I will try to find my place

In the diary of Jane"

"Why do you smell so gross?" Jared asked when a burning sensation hit his nose when TJ walked into the house.

"I ran into two people when I was patrolling, I'm pretty sure that they were vampires."

Emily dropped the bowl of salad that she was holding in shock while Sam ran up to TJ to inspect her.

"I'm fine Sam." She said as she tried to wave him off.

"Where did you see them?"

"Along the Forks/LaPush line, I think they were hunting a deer."

"I thought they only drank human blood." Jared said.

"Maybe they're good vampires."

"There's no such thing as a good vampire." Sam said as he gently shook, the thought of TJ potentially getting hurt was enough to make him angry.

"Sam, if they wanted to kill me, they would've. Their names are Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale."

"Cullen? Isn't that the name of the new doctor that showed up in Forks a few years back?" Emily asked.

She was right, it would've explained why Sam had shifted.

"Stay off of Forks territory TJ until I can talk with the elders." She nodded but had her fingers crossed behind her back.

The following day after school she ran beside Jared's brown wolf, though she'd never admit it out loud but she thought his wolf looked cool. He had dark gray fur around his eyes that almost looked like a mask.

The two went in different directions to cover more ground and the more TJ purposefully kept running towards Forks, she couldn't wait for Sam to talk to the elders, she wanted to talk to the vampires. She felt a chill in the air when she sensed that she wasn't alone.

"Who's there?"

From the corner of her eye she could see two people, the first was a tall pale male, with honey blonde hair, a lean build and golden eyes. The other person was equally as pale, short with small pixie like features and had the same golden eyes. The female had a huge smile on her face that gave TJ the creeps.

"You're finally here! We've been waiting for you!" She clapped her hands together.

Quicker than lightening she pulled the dagger out of her jacket and flung it at them. The two dodged and the dagger stuck into the tree behind them. There was no way that an ordinary human could've dodged that. Over the years, TJ learned that she was an excellent marksman.

"So you are the Cold Ones." She mused, intrigued.

They walked closer until she was a few feet away, cautiously, to be sure that she didn't attack them again. Alice was happy to finally meet the teen that had been in her premonitions, though spotty because she was with the shapeshifters so much. All she knew was that this girl was going to play an important role in what's to come. Jasper however, was perplexed, he was the newest vegetarian vampire in the coven but he felt nothing towards her. As Rosalie and Emmett had said, her blood didn't appeal to them either.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Alice asked as her husband looked at the girl.

"I don't feel any bloodlust."

His eyes stayed their usual golden color and they couldn't help but think what was this girl. If she was human, then she would've attracted Jasper to her by her scent alone but all Jasper could smell was her perfume.

"I'm Alice Cullen and this is my husband Jasper."

"Trinity but I go by TJ."

She stuck her hand out and they both shook it. Their skin was a lot different than the warmth that Sam emitted, they were ice cold to the touch.

"You're not scared of us?" Jasper asked, knowing that she was supposed to hate them because of what they were.

"I don't like to judge others based off what other people say."

She gave everyone a fair chance, the only judgement she passed was what she was able to see with her own eyes. Besides, like she had said before, if they wanted to kill her, they would've done it already.

"You can tell the others to come out now."

Alice smiled as the rest of the Cullen family came out to observe the girl up close. For the last few weeks, Alice has been talking about TJ. Nothing concrete, only tidbits of information, just what she looks like, a bow and arrow and her fighting beside Emmett.

"You already know Rosalie and Emmett but this is the rest of my family, Esme, Carlisle, and Edward."

They all shared the same golden eyes and pale skin but it was obvious that none of them were related.

They looked at TJ as she stared back at them, sizing them up. Her blood called to none of them and never had they had that happen to them. Their only urge was to protect her and that was the most puzzling.

A howl in the distance broke her thoughts and she knew it was Sam calling her back. It's like he seemed to know when she was somewhere that she shouldn't be.

"I'm sure we'll see you again TJ."

She gave them all one last glance and ran back in the direction that she came.

"Anything in her mind Edward?" Carlisle asked.

"Nothing, she doesn't know what she is or where she came from, she's adopted."

Strange, very strange indeed.
