Chapter 1: Meeting the Cullens
Edwards Point-of-View
"This was the time when I wished I were able to sleep. High School. The tedium was not something I grew used to; everyday seemed more impossibly monotonous than the last" Though this was not high school the same was true. College was just as boring. I sighed, why did I have to be so impatient? I was the one who wanted to go to college and now I couldn't wait for it to end. Bella, on the other hand was listening intently to every word the teacher said. She frowned at me when I sighed once again. What's wrong, Edward? She thought, lifting the shield that usually blocked me from reading her mind.
"I'm bored." I whispered back, too low for the teacher to hear. She shook her head. Well stop with the sighing, some of us are actually listening to what Mrs Tones is saying! Irritation coloured her thoughts. I rolled my eyes and stared at the blackboard. The rest of the class jumped when the sound of the telephone pierced the air. Mrs Tones sighed and I heard her mutter
"Some nerve they've got interrupting my lecture!" she picked up the phone and held it to her ear, still scowling
"What!" she barked. I froze when Bella prodded me.
"You haven't taken any notes!" she chastised
"Bella I don't need to, perfect recall, remember." I said
"Yeah, I remember, but..."
"Edward, Isabella! Office now! Your father is waiting for you!"Mrs Tones interrupted. Bella looked at me with a puzzled expression as we left the classroom. I shrugged, Even I had no idea what was going on. We didn't make it to the office, Carlisle met us halfway.
"I received a phone call this morning from the Los Angeles Police Department. Last night two people were killed in a car accident, leaving their only daughter an orphan." He said sadly.
"That's terrible!" I replied "But what does it have to do with us?"
"Well," said Carlisle uneasily "Her name is Natalie Masen." I stopped dead in my tracks
"You mean..." I couldn't finish the sentence. Carlisle nodded his head gravely.
"Your brother survived the Spanish Influenza; she is his great-great granddaughter." Carlisle whispered "You know she'll be coming to live with us." Now I rushed to the car, I couldn't wait to get home and see my niece. Carlisle sensed my excitement and laid a hand on my shoulder
"She doesn't arrive for a few days yet, we need to prepare everything, build a new room onto your cottage." He said. I had been slumped in my seat after hearing that she wouldn't arrive for a couple days, but brightened up when I learned I would be in charge of looking after Natalie.
As soon as we arrived home Esme, Bella and Rosalie launched themselves into building and preparing the new room on our cottage for Natalie. I went into the dining room where Nessie was doing her home work. Nessie didn't go to school, instead she was home schooled. If we let her go to school, people would start to get suspicious. With her growing so fast we just couldn't allow it. See, Nessie was only born four years ago, but she looks like a fifteen year old. Nessie is incredibly smart, smarter than most adults. I studied her and sinking realization hit, Nessie wasn't my little girl any more. Her bronze hair was straight. She straightened it every morning now, saying that ringlet curls were childish. Much to my dismay, she had also taken to putting on makeup. Her chocolate brown eyes were framed in black and her full lips dark red. She noticed me staring and smiled
"What's up Dad?" she asked still smiling
"I was just thinking about how much my little girls grown up." I replied, a small smile playing on my lips. A blush rose up her cheeks and she looked at her feet
"Dad." she muttered, embarrassed. I chuckled and pulled her into a hug.
Two days later we stood in the arrivals lounge at Sea-Tac waiting for Natalie to arrive. I glanced down at my watch; Natalie's plane was running five minutes late. It was only Nessie, Bella and I waiting at the airport, I didn't want to overwhelm Natalie when she arrives. My head snapped up when I heard the landing announcement. Natalie's plane had finally arrived. People started flooding through the arrivals gate. Five minutes later Natalie walked hesitantly through the gate. Her hair was a blue-black colour and she had vibrant green eyes. I noticed she wore a lot of black. Her clothes were black, even her nails, lips and eye makeup was black. She had pale skin, though not as pale as mine. She probably looked so pale because of the dark colouring of her clothes. Suddenly she stopped, not ten feet from me. I listened to her thoughts closely; never did I expect to hear this.
He can read minds too!
Natalie's Point-of-View
The plane ride to Seattle was boring. Listening to people's thoughts usually held some appeal, but not today, not since my parents had died, less than a week ago. Not even the blonde boy across the aisle who is fantasizing about me could make me smile. My world has been devoid of happiness since the accident. The landing announcement blared through the intercom. This was the best part of the whole journey, knowing it would soon be over.
It took five minutes to reach the terminal once I got off the plane. I hung back, wary. I didn't know much about my new family, only that they had a daughter I few years younger than me. I let my senses reach out, searching for a sign of me in someone's thoughts. There, over in the back corner, a young man was wondering why I was late. I strode towards him and felt my jaw drop open. He had tousled bronze hair and looked barely out of high school, and, dare I say it, he was HOT!
I felt a little better knowing my uncle wasn't some old guy who spent too much time dozing in an armchair. Suddenly, ten feet from him I stopped. Surely not! I read his mind only to find he was reading mine!
Oh my god! I thought He can read minds too!
I felt a smile spreads across my face; this might not be so bad after all. I sprinted towards, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. I slammed into him and felt him stagger backwards. He pulled me into a hug. I noticed how hard and cold he was, like hugging a giant block of ice. I pulled away, looking at who was standing with him. A woman who was about 18 had her hand in his. She had wavy brown hair that framed her heart shaped face. She was beautiful. A girl who looked about 14 was pulling a set of headphones out of her ears and smiling up at me. She had the same color hair as my uncle and chocolate brown eyes. My uncle smiled.
"I'm Edward and this is wife Bella and our daughter Renesmee." He said in a voice like velvet.
"You can call me Nessie." The girl added. Bella and Nessie each hugged me in turn and we made our way to the luggage pickup. By the time we got there my suitcases were the only ones left. As Edward reached forward to pick up my bags I called out a warning
"They're heavy!" but he had already lifted them both with ease. I gaped; The two well muscled police officers that had escorted me to the airport in Los Angeles had struggled to lift one together, and Edward had just lifted them both himself! I thought about what I had learned about my uncle, first, he was incredibly hansom, second, he could read minds like me, and third, he was unbelievably strong. I followed Edward to the car, a shiny silver Volvo, and got in the back with Nessie.
"So," she asked "how do you like Washington so far?"
"Um," I replied "I've only been here for half an hour."
"Oh ... yeah" she replied awkwardly.
She was about to ask something else when my favorite song came through the radio
"OMG! I love this song!" she exclaimed and started bopping around in her seat
"Me too!" I cried
"Wow! So what sort of T.V shows and movies do you like? I was thinking we could have, like, a movie marathon or something tonight!" she asked
"Stuff like True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Dracula, Anything to do with Vampires really, I just love them!" I answered. I looked around the car, wondering why it had gone quiet all of a sudden. Nessie had a strange look on her face, Bella was staring at Edward and Edward looked deep in thought, which worried me considering he was driving.
"Hey, " I said, breaking the silence. Nessie snapped out of it and smiled at me
"Yes?" she prodded
"I have this awesome Vampire Academy shirt, "I continued "It has a picture of Rose and Dimitri on it. I can show you when we get to your house...if you want." Nessie smiled
" I love those books, they're awesome. That would be great!"
AN: So there it is the first chapter of Life is a rollersoaster.
Review please!
