"Edward please"

"Absolutely not Alice"

"You need this"

I stopped walking and turned to face my little sister. "Setting me up is not needed. I do not need a bride. Anyone who disagrees can get over it"

"You can't run the country without a bride by your side. Now, we will have a ball! She smiled and clapped her hands

"Alice I don't need a ball. I do not wish to be cliche."

"Fine. You win for now but I will get you to give up."she pouted" By the way Edward, Jasper's cousin is coming to stay with us while her parents are away. Be nice" she turned around and left.

"Great" i mumbled to myself as i walked back into my bedroom.

I turned on my stereo to Claire de Lune and relaxed on my bed. This may be 2009, but in the castle we act like it's still 1960. But you get used to it. Except the whole You are going to run the country one day thing. Someone knocked on my door and let them selves in.

"Hello Edward"

"Hi Jasper. What can I help you with?"

"Bella is here."

"Who?"

"My cousin"

"Okay, Alice didn't say here name. I'll be done in a minute"

"See you then".

I quickly changed into a pair of nice jeans with a dark blue button up shirt. Mother and father were out today so I could get way with what I looked like. I walked down stairs to meet the new guest when i bumped into someone.

"Sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going" A small girl said as she looked up at me. "Hi, my name is Emilia but you can call me Emmy" she smiled

"Hello Emmy, my name is Edward." I smiled back.

"There you are Emmy." Jasper came around the corner and scooped her up. "We were looking for you everywhere". He looked up to see me."I see you found Edward here".

"Yeah, i bumped into him." she giggled as jasper held her upside down.

"Just like your mother" he laughed and set her on her feet. "Come on Edward, meet Bella".

We walked into the main entryway to see a girl around my age with chocolate color hair that came down to about her mid back. She turned to look at me and she had the deepest brown eyes that shown when she saw Emmy. Completely ignoring me until Emmy pointed me out.

"Hi, I'm bella" she held out her hand for me to shake.

I hated her from the first word. Not because of her, but because she was beautiful. I couldn't have her as a distraction right know. She was here to ruin me
