— STELLA MAE BECK was born to her two living parents, Jason and Annalise Beck. Spoiled rotten from the day she entered the world with a loud cry. Their babygirl, their pride and joy.

Stella-Mae was a carbon copy of her father, born with his blonde hair and brown eyes. Yet, she had her mother's facial features. A perfect mix of them both, only slightly more like Jason.

Little Stella adored her parents more than anything in the world, her eyes always on them—watching them as if they'd just got her the moon whenever she got a gift.

and then one night...

They were taken from her.

Six year old Stella was lounging the sofa, playing with whatever toys she had. Her parents were in the kitchen, cooking together like they always had. Her father had been blasting some rock music as they did so, much to her mother's protests.

So, Stella didn't hear it happen. Her parents had their back turned, the back door was open in case their dog Benny decided to waltz back inside.

Stella didn't hear them come in.

A blonde man who was accompanied by a woman with fiery red hair, both of them with ruby red eyes to match their extremely pale skin.

The blonde man skillfully grabbed Annalise, grinning at her struggle. While the redheaded woman impaled Jason with whatever she found, a knife.

The music was so loud, she didn't hear as her parents struggled to fight back.

It wasn't until both adults were dead, that the vampire couple noticed the little girl in the living room. They neared closer, watching as the young girl let out a frustrated sigh; pushing her blonde locks out of her face with a chubby hand.

"Mama?" The little girl called out over the music, turning her head seeing them.

She shrieked in fear as her brown eyes met their red ones, but neither moved a muscle. The redheaded woman inched closer, kneeling before the young girl.

"We're not gonna hurt you, sweet girl." The woman cooed, brushing a thumb over the little girls cheek. "Now, why don't we play a little game of hide and seek? You hide, and your mama will be up any minute."

The little girl nodded hesitantly, retreating down the hall into her bedroom. Hiding in her closer behind her clothes.

But her mother never came, and the ruby eyed couple was gone.

Stella was put into the care of her father's brother, Oliver, or Uncle Ollie. The man had immediately agreed to take his niece in, given that there was no other immediate family to take her; except for his mother.

But the woman lived in Washington and was severely ill.

They stayed in Texas, Oliver believed that keeping his niece close to home would be better. Yet, the thoughts of his brother and sister in law no longer being around pained him worse than anything he'd ever felt.

Shortly after Stella's seventeenth birthday, his mother had tragically passed.

That was when he decided it was time for a change, so they packed up their things and next thing she knew, they were on a long roadtrip to Forks, Washington.
