Edwards Point of View
It was a rare sunny day in the town of Ketchikan, Alaska my family and I were on a hunting trip. I was just about to prance on a lion when I smelt
a new scent rush through the air. It was the scent of a new vampire coven and the smell of blood. I ran as fast as I could in the direction the
scent was coming from. When I finally reached the scent it led me to a little white house in the middle of the woods. I went up to the porch of the
house and the scent of the blood became stronger. The scent was sickening that if I could puke i would have. I thought of calling Carlisle but, I
was curious so I decided to enter the little house. Right when I was about to enter I heard Alice's thoughts. Edward don't go in, wait for me! I
ignored her request and stepped inside. When I entered I saw two bodies that had had the blood sucked out of them. It seemed like they were a
young couple but, something was missing. I picked up a picture frame that had been smashed to the ground. It had a picture of the couple with a
little toddler. The little girl looked like an angel. All of a sudden, I heard a soft cry coming from upstairs. I ran to the stairs and followed the crying
into a pink bedroom with flowers and butterflies. There was a pink bed and lots of baby photos all over the walls. Then the crying was getting
louder as I walked closer to the little pink bed. When I was about to check under the bed Alice charged through the door. "Edward, I told you
wait!" She screamed. "Edward, there is a little girl under the bed, her name is Isabella Swan." As Alice spoke the name a little head popped out
from underneath the bed. Alice noticed and said, "Hello Bella!" Bella noticed someone had called her and she ran over to Alice and hugged her,
she was up to her hip Alice was so small. Alice hugged her tightly, like she was her best friend. I looked at Bella, she was the cutest little toddler I
have ever seen. I looked at her with curious eyes. How could this little girl survive a vampire coven? Bella had smelt so different from other
humans it was like she was pulling me in but, I couldn't attack a little girl what kind of monster would do that? Then, during my train of thought I
heard little Bella talk, "Where is my mommy and daddy?" Here voice sounded like little bells, it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.
The thought of telling her that her parents were killed made me drown in sorrow. Bella had just lost her parents to a couple vampires just like me.
I wish I was never one of these monsters because I once was just like the coven that killed her parents. I use to kill with out caring what
happened to them or how their family members were effected. Alice gave me a frighten look her eyes focused on Bella's wet face. "Bella, your
parents went to heaven, but they wanted us to help you and make sure your not sad about it. They would never want that, neither do Alice and
I ." I chose my words carefully. Alice was nodding, Bella hid her face into Alice's clothes, she swiftly picked her up and cradled her like a baby. I
held my breath, Bella put her tiny breakable hand out, and I held onto her little palm. When I grabbed her hand she seemed to have stopped
crying, it was like she was finally at ease. Bella reached out towards me, I grabbed and held her tiny little fingers in my hand. She reached her
hands out motioning for me to hold her instead. Alice giggled and gave Bella to me, "Be careful," She whispered to soft for Bella to hear. Her
hands grabbed onto my shirt as she leaned over my shoulder. My mouth started to burn like crazy, I held my breath, she smelt so delicious, and I
had just hunted. Alice could tell I was struggling, her eyes were still pitch black. I cupped my nose, but the scent still got to me. I endured the
scent coming off Bella and walked down the stairs. I remember that her parents lifeless bodies were still laying there so I covered her eyes with
my hand which was covering my nose. This was probably a bad idea but I didn't want to have Bella see her parents like that. I saw Alice
searching throughout the house, but why? She wasn't inviting me into her thoughts so I carried Bella outside where we found the rest of our
family with confused faces. Edward, what is going on here? Carlisle thought with a serious face. "Carlisle, I will explain everything later, but right
now I think we better get Bella home safely." Alice explained quietly. He nodded, Bella's grip tighten on my shirt, as I ran at a fast pace back to
our house. "Edward, why are you running so fast?" Bella asked. I realized I wasn't running at a normal human pace so I slowed down. Alice gave
me a worried look, and wouldn't go any farther then a couple feet away from us. Then she ran up ahead and would look back at us, and start
giggling. We made it to our house and I opened the door to enter. Bella gasped as we entered. Alice giggled she thought that Bella was so cute.
She really was very cute, Bella started to look around the house with curiosity. I chuckled and walked into the living room where everyone was
waiting for us. I noticed that I never heard one thought from Bella, nothing. She couldn't be thinking nothing. I set Bella down and walked to
Carlisle. All of a sudden, Bella put her hands back out and tugged on my shirt for me to sit down next to her. Carlisle started smiling as I sat next
to her, she hid her face back in my shirt. "So Alice, would you care to explain to us what happened?" Carlisle asked her, she nodded "I saw
Edward in a vision entering this small white house in the middle of the woods. I told him to wait but he wouldn't listen." I explain to him, "I smelt
another vampire coven near the house, I had to see why their would be others?" I said this so low that Bella couldn't hear me. "So I went in to
the house, and found Bella's parents sucked dry." I continued talking low. "I picked up a picture and it had a family picture with a little girl in it. I
was wondering what happened to her and then I heard crying coming from upstairs." I explained. "So I went up and when I was about to check
under the bed and find the source of the crying, Alice came and explained everything. Which led us to meet Bella." I looked down at the little
angel, Jasper gave her a curious look, that didn't make me feel any better about her. I glared at him, he thought Hey, she just is terrified of all of
us, except for you. He grinned. I sighed quietly and continued, "Then we went inside and found you guys." I finished, Alice nodded. Esme came
over to Bella "Oh my you poor little girl," Bella looked up at her, with her eyes over flowing with tears, "Bella? Can you tell us what happened
before Edward and Alice came? Its okay if you don't want to talk about it." Carlisle asked, she shook her head in a nodding motion. She managed
to say sniffling, "Mommy heard something in the house and she told me to go up into my bedroom, and hide under the bed so I ran up to my
room, but then all I heard was screaming so I thought" She started sobbing again, "Oh honey! Don't cry," Esme took Bella out of my hands and
started cradling her in her arms, I stared at Bella and Esme, for some reason it bothered me that she wasn't with me. "Bella, do you have any
other family members?" She shook her head, "No, my grandparents died a while ago and my parents had no siblings." I panicked, we couldn't
bring her to an adoption center! I wouldn't allow it, I wanted Bella to stay here so she wouldn't be alone. Yet, why was I freaking out about this, I
will never know, she was merely a child that I had just met. Alice stood up "Carlisle! Cant Bella stay here?" I looked at Alice, confused she was
hiding something from me, something huge! "Alice? What are you hiding?" I mumbled, she shook her head "Nothing Edward!" Carlisle gave Alice a
serious look. "I'm not sure Alice, think of the dangers we could put Bella in," His eyes flickered to Jasper and back, quicker then a second. Jasper
wasn't paying attention, he kept looking at Bella and me. Alice persisted, "But Carlisle, we cant just bring her to an adoption center! Please? Look
how adorable she is!" Alice took Bella from Esme's arms and walked up to him, she looked tired, she yawned. Esme giggled, Carlisle had a
thoughtful expression, "Well, I suppose we don't have to bring her to an adoption center, but were all just going to have to be extra careful."
Everybody nodded, Alice and Rose squealed, "Come on Bella! You must be tired, but first we better feed you! Anything you really want to eat right
now?" Rose said, she nodded, Alice set her down on her feet, she and Rose held her hands, Bella grabbed her hand and they walked over to the
kitchen, I didn't notice how tense my body was until I took a deep breath for air. Are you sure your going to be okay about this Edward? Carlisle
thought, I shook my head awkwardly so it didn't really look like I was sure. Is that a yes or a no? he thought, I shrugged and walked into the
kitchen, "Okay Bella, what do you want to eat?" Rose asked. She thought about it for a second and said, "Scrambled eggs, please." Rose shuffled
her feet, and thought "Hey Edward?" I rolled my eyes. "Esme? Can we have some help in the kitchen?" Esme skipped in and took out a pan, she
went over to the fridge and took out eggs. I leaned against the wall, Bella took a seat at the other end of the table. It wasn't just me that was a
little uncomfortable with Bella's sent, everybody gave Bella space, yet it seemed like her smell appealed me more then anyone else. Esme handed
Bella the plate of eggs, she snatched her fork and scorched the substance down. Alice had poured some milk into a cup and set it down next to
her plate. Bella chugged it down, I chuckled. She yawned and Alice sighed, "Come on Bella, time to go to bed." Alice walked over to her and lifted
her up. She ran at a human pace with her up the stairs. When I heard Alice tucking her in under the covers, Bella said, "I want to say goodnight
to" Alice interrupted with a thrilled voice, "Edward? Sure!" Alice was at my side after the door clicked shut. She was grinning, "Well, go see her!"
Alice thought. She shoved me forward. I walked up the stairs reluctantly, I didn't want to hurt her. She smelt pretty good, god I sound like Jasper.
Bella was sitting up in her bed, I sat at the end of it. "What is it Bella?" Bella ran over and gave me a little hug. She was so tiny like a baby doll.
Then she looked up and grinned "Thank you Eddie, for helping me. I just wanted to thank you and say goodnight!" I smiled, my throat burned. I
held my breath and picked her up. She started yawning as I set her down. I put my hand over her forehead "Goodnight Bella." I grabbed the pink
from the end of the bed and laid it over her gently. I kissed her on the forehead, switched the lights off, and left her room. Alice was waiting
outside, she snickered, "Aw, that was really sweet Eddie". I growled "Alice" She put a finger over her mouth saying she would be quiet and
walked into Bella's room. I could here them talking "Bella, I found this at your house, I thought it would be important to you." I looked into Alice's
thoughts, since Bella was still silent. Alice handed her a brown teddy bear with a pink bow on it. "Thank you Alice!" I could see her get up and hug
Alice tight. She thought Awww! Isn't she adorable?! I chuckled and walked down the stairs to the living room. Jasper, Carlisle, Esme and Rosalie
were sitting in the family room, discussing by the looks of it. Jasper had a stern look on his face, all I could hear from his thoughts were Get out of
my head Edward. He was practically growling. "Ah. Edward, we were just talking about Bella and you." Carlisle said as Emmett walked into the
room and slouched on the couch, he looked so at ease. Rose cuddled up besides him, I groaned lightly. Jasper said "We can't keep it Carlisle!
Think of the risks, and it already knows!" He started getting on my nerves. "Jasper, Bella isn't an it! She's a living, breathing little girl!" I nearly
shouted. Jasper snarled, "Edward, you know it is a horrible idea! She could get hurt, no she could die! You're a nervous wreck around her, what if
you hurt her, or what if I do? Think about the rest of the family as well, what if the Volturi come? I am not risking Alice's life for some human child
we don't even know!" I growled "We aren't letting Bella go to an adoption center if that's what your thinking! No way!" Carlisle stood up "Boys,
stop" Alice walked into the room, I felt like throwing Jasper at a wall. I didn't even know why I had such strong feelings for this little girl. Jasper
was part of my family, and then this little girl pops up and I had the need to protect her. But what if Jasper was right? Maybe the best way was to
bring her to an adoption center so I couldn't hurt her. Alice looked panicked, "Jasper! What are you talking about." I interrupted her rudely. "Like
you don't know Alice." She glared at me, "Don't get on that side of me Edward. I know a bunch of things that you don't!" She thought. I looked
threw her head. I saw Bella and me, in a field. She was a lot older. Seventeen. We were holding hands, laying together in the sun, and then I even
kissed her! Bella and me? Emmett yelled "Come on, I hate it when u guys have your own private conversations what's happening?" I couldn't find
my voice so Alice said, "Apparently, we are going to let Bella stay" her eyes flickered to Jasper "She is my best friend." Everybody's eyes widened.
"And well Bella is going to be a part of our family one day." Alice explained. "See! Why should we put Bella on that kind of path?" Jasper exclaimed
but, Alice interrupted before he could say anymore "Its because Edward and Bella are going to be husband and wife!" She squeaked in
excitement. Everybody stood in the room, shocked. Emmett came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder "Well, brother, I never thought the
girl would be some five year old that were gonna raise!" He said booming with laughter. I punched him in the gut. "Shut up!" I looked around the
room, Alice was bouncing of the walls (literally) , Esme put her caring mother face, and Rose was giggling with excitement. Carlisle had a
thoughtful expression, Jasper was glaring in disapproval and Emmett was still filling the room with laughter. I said "You know what, I think
Jasper's right." I said "But I thought you" Carlisle looked at me confused. "I know what I said, but I think it's responsible to put her to an adoption
center, I don't want Bella to have the same fate as me." I said these words for her own good. Not mine. Alice argued, "But Edward!" I put my
hand up, "Alice, it isn't exactly safe for her here." Emmett jumped up, "Aw, don't be such a wuss Edward!" Esme scolded "Emmett!" He didn't
listen "I want a new little sister! Plus, if she's going to be your mate" He shrugged. I shivered at the thoughts running threw his tiny head, that I
really didn't want to get into. I shook my head "Emmett! She's five for gods sake!" He grinned, "Well, you know, when she gets older. And to add
onto it she already wants to stay here since I would be her new brother." Rose rolled her eyes and giggled. Carlisle said, "Well Edward, I am
going to let you decide, since well she probably is the most important to you.' Alice stomped her foot in frustration. I thought about it for a second,
literally. Could I really just give Bella away to some strangers? She deserved more then that. I thought about the chances of me letting her go were as
small as getting Emmett to shut up for five minutes. And that was pretty damn slim. I finally decided it was for the best, "Well, we will put her up for
adoption it's the best thing for her safety." I forced the words out reluctantly, I would never want any of us to hurt Bella, she should have a
better future then me. Alice eyes were furious. She growled furiously in my head. I glared at her and she returned the stare, Emmett coughed and
she finally gave up. She stomped up the stairs to her room. Edward! I can't believe you! You know you love Bella and you are going to hate seeing her
in an adoption center! She thought in a harsh tone. Come on Eddie I wanted a new sister! Why do you always have to do this? Emmett whined in his
thoughts Rose look really disappointed, and I felt pretty bad for her. This sucks I was really looking forward to treating Bella like a little sister or even
a daughter. Edward why can't we keep her? Rosalie thought I knew she wished that Bella could stay here so she could watch her grow up like her
own daughter. Jasper was satisfied, but I felt horrible. Surprisingly, Alice shrieked, I jumped out of Rose's thoughts to see Alice's. My eyes
widened. She ran back downstairs Jasper was at her side in a flash. "What's the matter?" Alice whispered, "Bella is gone."
