"TGIF!" Emmett laughed along with his younger brother as they headed home. It was Friday and if they left out now they could go hunting and have a bit of fun in the woods before they had to return. "Come on Jazzy lets go before I age." Emmett called to his brother.
"I'm coming calm down." Jasper jumped from the window and landed on the ground like a cat falling out of the window. "Race you." Jasper took off into the woods leaving his brother to chase after him.
"Dude you are not faster than me." Emmett laughed he easily caught up to the blonde. They stopped as they had spotted a herd of deer. "This is gonna be good." Jasper loved to hunt. The weather was good and the deer had no clue. Jasper crouched down low lining up for the kill.
Letting his senses focus on the deer. Emmett was doing the same on the other side. Jasper was the first out taking down a large buck while Emmett managed a doe. They fed and went in search for another. Jasper stopped when he felt a dark mood. It was fearful and dark, sad and alone.
"Jazz what's wrong?"
"Emotions I can't change them and I don't like what they are." Jasper told his brother. "Do you think it's that other vampire that's been roving about?" Emmett asked. "I don't know but we're going to find out." Jasper took off and Emmett followed after him. They listened for any signs that could lead them to the vampire they were looking for.
They stopped just behind the tree line. There in the clearing was the curled up body of a girl. The girl from what the boys could see was in the middle of changing from human to vampire. "What should we do?" Jasper asked.
"We'll take her to Carlisle." Emmett walked through the trees and over to the shivering body of the teenager. Emmett collected her in his arms and turned back to Jasper. They nodded to each other and started the run back to the house. "Call Carlisle I'll take her to his office." Emmett told Jasper.
"Doctor Cullen it's your son Jasper he said it's an emergency and needs for you to come right away." A nurse said. Carlisle nodded and collected his things to go. Hitting the gas he pulled up to the house and jumped out rushing in. "Jasper?" he called.
"We found her while we were hunting nine miles further north west. She was alone and she's in the middle of changing." Jasper took Carlisle to his office and opened the door. Emmett was there sitting with the girl trying to sooth her as she continued to stay curled up in the tightest ball anyone could ever imagine.
"Let me see." Carlisle said stepping forward. He took his stethoscope out of his travel bag. "Emmett and Jasper help me straighten her out." He told them. They had the girl on her back so Carlisle could listen to her heart. After a few minutes on listening and checking her over he sighed.
"Well?" Both of the man's sons looked at him.
"She's just begun the change. The venom has not spread through her whole body but it is to late to bring it out of her now." Carlisle brushed a lock of hair out of her face. "I'm sorry this had to be you child." He said. "Stay with her I'm going to give Esme a call." He said. Jasper took over looking after her.
"If you can hear me. It's not so bad being one of us. What's happening now will seem like nothing in a few days. We all go through it. I did. But I had wanted it for a stupid reason. I had been in love with a girl. If Carlisle says you can stay that will make you my baby sister. I'll protect you from then on." Jasper told her.
The girl's face had eased into smooth lines as Jasper talked. It was distracting her from the pain.
"The boys found her a few miles from here. She's to far along in the change to reverse it like we did with Bella. Jasper is with her now." Carlisle explained to his wife. "I'm on my way home now. I'll be there soon. I'll call Alice, Rose and Edward and tell them to get home. Take care of her." Esme told him.
With in the next two hours All the Cullens were home again. Jasper and Emmett relayed their story to the others like they had done with Carlisle. The weekend passed and they went into Monday. It hadn't been until late Monday night that Carlisle finally saw the change was over.
Everyone was moved into the living room, as was the girl who had been moved early Saturday.
Green eyes opened and focused on the other occupants in the room. Before she could find out her surroundings the surprisingly green eyed girl jumped up from the couch and a run for it. Emmett and Edward were the ones to bring her down as she shied away from them cowering and looking upon them with fear.
"Everyone back up." Carlisle said as he took a step forward. "It's alright no is here to hurt you." He told her. Carlisle extended his hand toward her. Green eyes looked at the other occupants of the room and backed up. Emmett was the largest and there was no telling what he was capable of. Rosalie had a fixed glare on her face. Alice and Jasper stood behind them with Edward standing near. Esme stood to the side nearer to her husband.
"What's your name?" Carlisle asked.
The girl started to ramble off words or at least what they thought were words in a different language. "She's from either Finland or Sweden I can't tell. She speaks English but it's rough." Edward explained. "She wants us to leave the room." Edward said looking to his siblings.
"Do it." Carlisle said. Once everyone had gone from the room before the girl looked up. "Will you tell me something please?" Carlisle asked.
"Where?" was all Carlisle could make out with the girl's heavy accent.
"You're in my home with my family. You're in Forks, Washington state, America. Where are you from?"
"Suomi." She said. Carlisle raised a curious brow.
"Where?"
"Finland."
Carlisle wondered how she had gone from Finland to the west coast of America. "What's your name?"
"Eveliina." She said.
"Well Eveliina I ask that you come with me. You are part of a new world in a way and my family and myself are part of this little world we have. You are a vampire. IT is not just a legend or a myth. You and we are very much real. We exist and I want you to know get one thing in your mind before we continue out of this room. Everything you have heard about vampires is not real. Other than the drinking of blood yes. But we live off of animal blood. Vegetarians to our kind if you will." Carlisle explained to her.
Eveliina hesitated as Carlisle helped her up and toward the door leading to a different room. "I promise you no harm will come to you." Eveliina let Carlisle lead her out of the room. She looked at the other occupants of the room.
"Everyone this is Eveliina she's from Finland." Carlisle smiled and Eveliina as he brought her further into the room.
"But how did she come this far?" Esme asked.
"We will deal with that later for now it is time to go hunting everyone will go tonight. Come one. Eve," Eveliina responded to the nickname, "Stay close to me." Carlisle instructed. They left out into the forest and took off running at vampire speed. Eveliina kept up with the others and stayed close to Carlisle.
Carlisle stopped and so did the others. A bear would be a perfect target for the exercise. Carlisle took down the bear with ease and practice from past years. Eveliina watched and understood how it was done. So when they came across a lone deer Eveliina took her chance and brought it down with ease.
After a few more it was safe to take Eveliina back to the house. Her clothes were dirty and tore. She would need more clothes and a room for herself. "Now Eve my name is Carlisle this is my wife Esme. These are you older brothers and sisters. Emmett and Rosalie are the eldest. Then we have Jasper and Alice and finally Edward. Esme for all intents and purposes will act as you mother and I as your father. If anyone ask you are our daughter and now as part of this family we look out for you just as you would for us." Carlisle explained.
"You can't be serious." Rosalie exclaimed.
"I am. Eve will become a member of the family I will not let the Volturi have her." He told them. Esme smiled at her husband and then to Eve who returned slightly. Jasper and Emmett ruffled her hair and Alice hugged her. Edward wasn't sure what to do so gave her a handshake Rosalie settled for a faint smile that quickly disappeared.
"Just ignore Rose I do." Edward told her with a slight smile.
Carlisle had left Eve to Alice to get her cleaned up and changed. It made a big difference. The mud was gone from her hair and the dirt away from her face. "Here try this one." Alice said tossing her dress. Eve slipped into it. She was slightly smaller than Alice and Rosalie's clothes wouldn't fit her because of Rosalie's height.
"Come on Eve." Alice led Eve to Esme and Carlisle. "It's the only thing I had that would fit. She really needs clothes." Alice said.
"When I could I use to get a pair of jeans or shirt from the second hand store. Everything I had fit into a duffle bag." Eve said.
"We'll get you some clothes dear. It's fall and wearing a dress this time of year isn't something you should do." Esme told her. "We'll be back soon enough." Esme kissed Carlisle's cheek before motioning for Eve to follow her.
By the time they returned they had but three bags.
"Thought you went shopping?" Carlisle smirked at Esme. "We did. I told her to pick out what she liked and she came back with nine shirts, five pairs of jeans, and two hoodies. Said it was all she needed. Eve peeked into the room with a small smile. Carlisle raised a curious brow at her hoodie.
"It's a home favorite." She smiled before disappearing somewhere else with the rest of her clothes. Eve went into the living room with her bags and stuck them behind the couch. There wasn't really much place for her in the house. Everyone had a room and she was new to the house.
"She did very well out in public. Her blood lust was satisfied for now but she'll have to feed again tomorrow." Esme said. Carlisle nodded. He knew the hunger of a new born. He would have to get the boys to take her further north maybe over the border into Canada.
It wasn't until the second day that Carlisle took Eve for a long walk to explain things to her. To explain how she would now live her life with his family. What they did and what they couldn't do. Why they didn't feed from humans and why there was a reason she could still go out in sunlight. He explained Edward's, Alice's and Jasper's powers to her.
Eve understood well which was a good sign. She didn't ask who had torn her away from her home and turned her into a vampire and then left her to fend for herself in the middle of a forest. What mattered was that Carlisle and his family were willing to take her in and teach her how to live this life.
"Eve I want you to understand that for the next few months you will crave blood and when you do tell someone so they can go with you. The hunger is not something to toy with. Today I will take you because we are already out." Carlisle told her. Eve was grateful to the man and hugged him like she had done Esme the day before when she bought her clothes. "You're welcome Eve." Carlisle told her.
