Adopted from Sarahtini. I hope you guys like it. I will try to update maybe one a week if I can since school is about to start. I will do the recap intro like Sarahtini did.
13 years old
I pulled out the bench and sat down. I ran my fingers across the keys. It was in perfect tune. I started to play a piece I made. It didn't have a name but it was beautiful without it.
"Bella, come on dinners ready" Emmy yelled with that I got up and headed for the dining hall. Everyone was there the whole orphanage. Apparently, today we were having beef stew that the cook made. Everybody called her Cookie, except for me I just called her the cook. I sat down and unfolded my napkin and put it on my lap. I waited for the stew starving.
When the stew got to me I only had some broth and a couple of carrots. I sighed but I eat it anyway. I didn't like it. But I never complained it didn't help.
"I hear there's a family coming today" said a girl I didn't know
"Really, well after I'm done I better go get dolled up" said Cassie with a smile
After I was done I asked to be accused and I was. I walked slowly to my room. The door was old and the fake wood paper was falling off. I had an old bed, an old desk, and old book case. My book case was filled with 17 CD's. All of them were classical. I had maybe a 6 books all old hand-me-downs from the orphanage, of course. I sat on my bed. I waited for this nightmare to be over. Why would anyone want me? My parents didn't want me, so why would anyone else?
I went over to my book case and got a book and laid on my bed. I started to read when the bell ran which meant the family was here and ready to see me and the other girls. This time I didn't bother to get up. I was going to wait here till Miss. Franks came and got me. I was difficult I always have been.
About twenty minutes after the bell ran their bursting through the door Mrs. Franks.
"Bella Swan, you get down there and meet that family," she said "you need to get adopted."
"Fine" I replied I walked down to the waiting room and sat in a corner. All the other kids sat in front of an old black and white T.V. I hated T.V, I liked books better. I could imagine what's going on my way. Instead of having someone else's imagination ruin it. A few minutes after arriving the family walked into the room. I ignored them as usual
"Is there anyone that grabs your attention?" asked Miss. Franks
"That one in the corner" said a velvet voice. As soon as I heard I looked up. I stared into golden eyes, seven pairs of golden eyes. "What's her name?"
"That's Isabella Swan. But she likes to be called Bella" Said Miss. Franks. They walked over to me.
"Well, Bella tell us about yourself." The man asked
"Okay, my most favorite thing to do is play piano. I love, love, love to read and listen to music. I also love to take walks in the forest. I love where its warm but I can deal with cold. I love to sing. I see the brighter things in everything. Not everybody gets me but I'm okay with that. I don't have many friends but I still manage. And not everybody likes me but what am I going to do about that." I said then returning to my book. He stayed there for a minute then got up.
"Kids, Miss Franks may I talk to you in the other room?" he said in his velvet voice
"Sure" they all said I sat for a minute before returning to my book. A few minuets later they were back.
"Bella..," said Miss. Franks "pack your bags your have been adopted." For the first time I was speechless. I was blank faced for a second.
"What?" I asked
"You have been adopted" she replied
"Really" my voice squeaked. I heard faint bells of laughter. I started to walk up to my room and was followed by five of the seven all about seventeen to twenty years old. When I got to my room I introduced myself "Hello My name is Isabella Swan, but you may call me Bella." I smiled
"Hello," said a small pixie like girl "My name is Alice." She took my hand it was ice cold I shivered at the touch. "This is Jasper, this is Emmett," he gave me a huge bear hug but not too tight. "This is Rosalie and lastly this is Edward." She smiled at the last name as soon as I saw him I gasped he was overly beautiful to me.
His face was perfect not one imperfection. I loved the shape of his nose. I even loved the dark circles under his eyes. Sigh…. His eyes. Were the dreamiest thing I ever saw I could stare into them for hours. Then I stopped and realized that he was I don't know maybe four, five years old then me it would never work.
"It fairly nice to meet you all."I said politely. I turned and packed my books and CD's first.
"There's are the only CD's and books you own?" asked Edward
"Yes, I don't have a job. Plus, the orphanage is poor so they can't afford them." I said sadness in my eyes
Edward saw that "Well, I guess we might have to change that" he said
"How?" I asked
"You'll see." He said smiling
"OH MY GOSH," Alice nearly screamed, I jumped "we have to go shopping, look at these close no color no style. I'm in shock" Alice frowned
I laughed "I guess Alice "after I said that she perked up. I was getting to like this family maybe I would fit in after all. Maybe this was my chance to start over fresh. So, that's what I'm going to do start over fresh. My new life. My new family.
