Ch.1: Exotic Stranger
CPOV (Carlisle)
Sitting with your family watching a movie together is very relaxing. My family and I are watching a new movie that just came out. Alice and Jasper were sitting together on the floor, leaning against the couch. Emmett and Rosalie snuggled on one side of the couch while my younger cousin, Esme, and Edward snuggled together on the other side. I sat by myself in my recliner.
Unlike my beloved family, I have been alone for over 360 years. I'll admit, it is very lonely bit I can deal with because I have my family.
The movie we are watching is "Legion". It is a. Very suspenseful movie i will say. Right at a part of a creepy ice cream man, my daughter Alice shoots straight up, surprising all of us. I stopped the movie
"What's wrong, Alice?" Jasper asks worried. Alice had the dazed look, which we all know of as her look when she is having a vision. Alice can see the future. Like Jasper and Edward she is gifted with a extra gift. Her visions, Jaspers can feel and manipulate emotions, and Edward can read minds. Alice snapped out of her vision she turned to me.
"Answer the door quickly." i got up and ran to the door. On our doorstep was a person shrouded in a dark blanket that covered from the rain that poured from the heavens above.
"H-help... M-me..." a woman was under the blanket. Her voice shocked me for it reminded me of melted chocolate and honey. All of the sudden she fell forward, i caught her before she hit the hard wood floor of the entryway. I carried to the living room. Alice had cleared the couch so I laid her on the couch.
"Should we take the wet blanket off she could get sick." Esme said with concern for the unknown woman. I nodded.
"Yes we should. Rosalie takes the blanket off but be careful." I said. She nodded, and gently lifted the blanket. First thing i noticed was this was a beautiful woman. She had perfect high cheekbones. She had full luscious lips that were screaming at me to be kiss them. The only strange thing about her face was the two tattoo-like marks that were on her cheeks. On her left cheek was a dark blue teardrop that, just like teardrop, was under her eye like a tear that will never go away. On her right cheek was a dark blue fang that was under her eye. It looked kind of erotic and if do say myself very cool and sexy. Like a waterfall, long curly white hair fell down the side the couch down to the floor. It was a silver hue that almost the same color of the moon.
"She has beautiful hair...", Esme mused. She reached out and touched the top of her head, then jerked her hand off like it burned her. Esme gaped at her. "Oh my god! She has ears!" Edward stared at his mate.
"Honey? Everyone here has ears."
"No Edward hers are not like ours... Hers are way different!"
"What do you mean different?" i asked. Esme placed her hand on the woman's head and begin to rub something. I was confused until something moved under her hand. Esme took her hand away and we sat there at something that should be impossible. Yet here it is. This stranger with long hair and beautiful face has a pair of cat ears or some other animal on top of her head. We watched as they lay back against her head.
"Ok they are different." Emmett said. "Cool!" I could not tear my eyes from this woman. Who is she? Most importantly, what is she and why does she needs our help?
