Ilooked across the lawn and at the big white house in the clearing. It was just how I saw it would be: open, friendly, and inviting. They were supposed to live here, the Cullens. Peter and Charlotte had told me about them. There were seven all together: Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. I had seen them all. They were a nice set of people, and even knowing they would accept me, I was still nervous. How could I not be? I was about to barrage into a house full of people and tell them my story.
I knew all about them, or what Peter and Charlotte had told me about them. They were like me, not partaking in human blood. They were a family. Carlisle had created Esme, Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie. While Jasper, Peter's friend, and his mate, Alice had joined the family later. Family, not clan. They were a family, and a talented one. Charlotte had warned her of those, so I would not be caught off guard. Edward read minds, Jasper controlled emotions, and Alice held a talent much like her own, the ability to see the future.
I could sense my rose-like scent spreading through the clearing. They would notice me soon, if Alice hadn't already seen me coming and told the other already. I twisted Anne's ring, the white gold B encrusted with diamonds that always sat on my finger as a tribute to my friend.
My long blond hair was pulled up into an elegant French twist that nicely went with my unique outfit. My peasant shirt was make of a white delicate almost see through material. Over it was an icy blue corset-like vest made of velvet. The gold eyelets were laced up with a white cord. My shirt was tucked into my faded perfect fitting blue jeans, and the corset met the jeans exactly perfect, the two did not overlap, nor was there a gap between them. My feet were adorned with an icy blue velvet pair of Mary Jane's. They had no heel, and my small height of 4ft 10" was clearly noticeable. My neck held a small silver chain that contained my locket, given to me by my parents, engraved with the family seal.
The look worked for me. It was my own. It emphasized my small child-like features, and set of my pale skin and golden hair. It remained me of my past and showed that to anyone who knew where I came from. I knew I couldn't postpone this any longer. I wouldn't be a chicken. Ella knew how this meeting would go, no reason to be afraid. This was my future, I was here, now. I had come to far, to bale out at the last moment.
Slowly, in vampire terms, I made my way toward the door. When I reached it I took a deep, but unessicary breath before knocking lightly on the door. My fingernails skittered against the door making a slight tapping sound. She hoped they liked her. They had too, it was their future and her's too. The two were entwined now. there were two others there, others she did not know. The door flew open and Alice peered out at me. Her face was aglow with excitement, she about squeled when she saw me.
"Hello," I chirped out a high voice. The sound was like a bell or a birdsong, but had all the smoothness of velvet and the texture of honey. I could tell my song-like voice held a slight hint of nervousness, "I know you don't know me, but I know you. Peter and Charlotte told me about you." My light butterscoth eyes looked up at Alice telling her what I clearly was.
"I know, I know." Alice squeled as she pulled me into the house. "I saw that you would be coming. I couldn't wait for you to get here. You are going to be my new best friend. We are so similiar. I have already planned for you to go on a shoping trip with me. You are going to love what we are going to get."
The image filled my head. The gown was beautiful. "Oh, Alice, I love it."
She just gave me a small smile. "I knew you would. The rest of them are out hunting, but I stayed here. I knew you were coming. I can't wait to see their faces when they get back and see you here. I have a great idea, let's go put all of Edward's things in the garage. You can move into his room. I am sure you can get away with it. I can see he will love you as much as he loves me." Alice's face was filled with excitment, I was sure she hadn't met a vampire with a talent so similiar to her own.
"I can stay?" I knew the answer, but I had to ask. I had to be sure.
Alice looked at me. The look on her face told me that this was a stupid question. "Of course you can stay. They will love you. You were created for us." She gave me a hug, "Don't worry, Ella. Everything will be fine."
She could say that. She didn't know of my past, she didn't know who was still after me. "I hope so."
"Oh it will be." She twisted her fingers through a few loose strands of my hair. I could hear them approching. Six sets of foot steps. Here they were. Here was my new family. Time to meet them.

Hey Just wanted to say hi. Yea I know it's a little short, but for having no plot line as of now. I think I did okay. I am in a major writers block stage. I so need to fix that. I have things in mind for the story. I would love it if you would review. I love hearing from fans. And one more thing. Next time we will have a naming contest for Elizella's mate.
