Chapter 1: The Other Cullen
It's another cloudy day in Forks Washington and I'm spending the day with the Cullen's all except Esmee and Rosalie, who stayed at home. When Carlisle's phone rang I'm guessing it must have been Esmee.
"Who was it?" asked Edward, Carlisle must have been thinking about something else.
"It was Esmee" he replied
"What did she want?" there must have been something that Carlisle wasn't telling them.
"She's back" whispered Alice everyone turned to look at her everyone except Carlisle.
"Victoria's back?" I asked as a thousand things went through my mind.
I turned to Edward and watched his face as realization washed over it "Alex"
"Alex whose Alex?" I asked confused
"Alexandria Carlisle Mason Cullen"
"She's a Cullen?" I asked "wait a Mason Cullen"
"Yup she's Edwards's sister." Said Emmett from the front seat.
"You have a sister and never told me, a biological sister and never said a word." I said as I turned to face Edward once again.
"Boy have I missed her." Said Emmett
"Its complicated we never thought she would come back"
"What do you mean?"
"she's '16' and has never been to college and wanted the experience so Carlisle told the school, the last school we were at before forks, how smart she was so they gave her an exam and she scored high so she passed high school and went off to college but a few months ago Carlisle received a phone call asking him if Alex was ok and he said she was fine so they told him that she hadn't shown up to any of her classes in a month and they had to drop her form the school. Carlisle was pretty upset but we haven't seen her since she left."
"Unless you count that one time Carlisle had to live with her" Emmett said while laughing.
"Oh yea" laughed Edward
"What was that about?" I asked
Emmett turned around to tell the story "well she starts college right and well they begin to notice that she doesn't eat since she technically under age and knowing that Carlisle's a doctor they phoned him and informed him about what they thought. They asked that he go down and check on her. So Carlisle ended up moving in with her and would make her eat lunch. None of us let her live that one down."
"So will I get to meet her" I asked
"Of course you will" said Edward "just don't take anything she says personally and don't let her convince you of anything."
We pulled up to the house and got out of the car. Once inside the house Esmee came out to talk to Carlisle.
"Where is she?" Carlisle asked as he put his car keys down.
"Upstairs, but threes something you should know." Esmee replied while looking at the floor.
"What is it?"
"Now promise you won't be upset"
"What is it?" asked Edward and Emmett at the same time.
"She's not a vegetarian any more."
The room was quiet except for Edward going crazy I thought Carlisle would be the one to lose it but he was seemed pretty calm about it on the outside anyways.
I turned to Emmett and asked him why Carlisle wasn't so upset
"Oh trust me he is, he just never expected his baby to be a human blood sucker"
"What do you mean his baby?"
"Oh right Edward hasn't told you anything. Well when Edward was sick with Spanish influenza Alex spent all her time with him after her parents passed away and well she never got sick which surprised Carlisle. Anyways after turning Edward into a vampire he adopted Alex who was only about 5 or 6 at the time"
"There's that much of an age difference between the two of them?"
"Yup, any ways he raised like his own, to this day she still calls him 'dad' enrolled her in school taught her right from wrong. Unfortunately when she was 15 she became sick with the influenza turns out her body had just been fighting it off all that time and now her body was losing, Carlisle did as much as he could to cure her but it was to advanced he waited as long as he could before turning her into a vampire he didn't want he to be so young but at 16 there wasn't much he could do. He had to change her then or it would be too late. She did mature a lot she just acts immature most of the time, like we said before she looks 16 and no one takes a 16 year-old serious. Oh and remember not to take anything personaly. She might not like you very much in the beging but later on she might just warm up to you."
"I wont she like me?"
"your dating her brother, but don't let it bother you she didn't like Esmee to much or at all for that matter when Carlisle first started seeing her."
"really why Esmee so sweat and nice to everyone?"
"she didn't like the fact that Esmee was dating Carlisle and began to think that she was going to lose Carlisle like she lost her parents, she's always feared that losing Carlisle or Edward and once she warms up to you she'll fear losing you too.
Alex POV
I could hear Edward downstairs yelling and ranting about me not being a vegetarian anymore. I thought he of all people would have understood after all he did just about the same thing. I began to panic somewhat I didn't think I would need to explain myself to him of all people. It was hard enough to see Esmee's expression and now I had to face everyone.
Bella POV
I heard someone walking down the stairs and looked towards them to see a think 16 year old girl who had blond hair like Carlisle and long it stopped at the middle of her back and surprisingly she had almost hazel colored eyes. Her eyes were almond shaped and her lips were small and a mix between red and a peachy rose color.
