The forest was silent, broken only by the weeping of a newborn hybrid, alone after three days. The Cullen family heard the sound. Edward asked if it was a vampire infant. Rosalie confirmed it was. Alice wondered aloud why she had been abandoned. Carlisle stated they must uncover the reason. Esme called her a poor little thing. Emmett was confused. The Cullens followed the cries until they found her—a tiny figure curled on the cold earth, shivering violently. At the sight of them, she flinched, fear locking her in place. Her eyes shone with unshed tears.
