"We'd be willing to take responsibility for Bree' the one Jane had called Carlisle spoke fast, but his tone was meant for assurance, I could see how this statement was working on the tiny one, Jane.
It was hard to not believe what Carlisle was saying he spoke in such a familiar, reassuring voice that I didn't believe he was acting I believe he spoke the truth. From the corner of my eye I saw the bronze haired mind reader shoot me a meaningful look but only for a fraction of a second did our eyes meet. I was confused does this mean then that Carlisle is speaking the truth and they really are willing to take me in and look after me? The mind reader nodded this time just a slight incline of his head his eyes never meeting mine. So Carlisle was speaking the truth. One part of my mind rushed to asses this information; why would they want me? What would they do to me? They had only shown forgiveness towards me other than the blonde male covered in battle scars, for a moment I wondered where he had acquired such scars but only of a moment, it was still all new to me how I could think about multiple things at a time without fear of losing my train of thought, surely they wouldn't hurt me? The mind reader again nodded ever so slightly. I didn't think they would. But another part of my mind started to think of all the possibilities if I was left alive, how would I choose to live? These strange yellow-eyes weren't how Riley had told us they would be. They seemed more civilised more dare I think it human? The corners of the mind readers lips twitched for just a fraction of a second before his face became as smooth as stone again.
Whilst this had been going through my mind barely two minutes had passed and Jane was looking at me with a fierce intensity, so intense I was scared she'd use her 'gift' again to put me through pain but I felt nothing other than her glare.
She seemed to be calculating the idea of letting me live as though she were choosing what pair of shoes would go best with an outfit not whether I were to live or die I instantly felt the urge to rip her limb from limb for having this unsaid power over me, but, I knew it would only cause more trouble for me and this coven of people who had offered to take me in, for these reasons I stayed as impassive as stone trying to read in her face if she had made a decision, then something in her face changed made her face break into an angelic smile. Even though I had, in reality just become aware of this world, I knew this was a bad sign.
"The girl can live. However, if she steps out of line once it is your responsibility to destroy her, and if you don't we will return to destroy you all. So Carlisle what's it to be? Take the girl in and risk your entire 'family'" she scoffed at the word "in danger or let us release you of this troublesome newborn?" her voice sarcastic. I knew I was now going to die this kind vampire was not going to place his 'family' in danger just for me. Jane knew this too and smiled at me with a cocky glint in her eye.
"Bree stays with us. We'll take our chances. She doesn't seem adverse to the idea of learning our way of life." Carlisle spoke with certainty in his voice.
I stared at him in disbelief.
"What?" Jane's smile fell from her face almost comically.
"I'm sure you don't need Carlisle to repeat himself now Jane. You heard quite clearly that we do indeed wish to take responsibility of Bree and will take the consequences of any of her actions." The mind reader spoke in a clear velvety tone he continued "Bree you will be willing to learn and life our way of life wont you?" at this point he tuned to me a smile in his eyes.
"Y-y-yes. I am more than willing to try." I promised in a small voice still afraid to speak out of turn with Jane and her fire touch.
"Well to say that I'm surprised by the turn of events today it would appear that you now have two pets to look after. And by the way Cauis will be very interested to know that your still human Bella." She pointed towards the human who stood tightly against the mind readers side.
"The date has been set. Maybe we'll come and visit you in a couple of months so you can see Bree's new way of life and Bella's new immortality." The little pixie girl spoke. Jane didn't even glance her way and shrugged indifferently. Some jealously there by the looks of things. Pixie girl had said the date had been set, so they were intending on making this Bella a vampire then, she didn't look adverse to the idea either, did she want this life for herself? I glanced over towards her again this time not out of thirst but mere curiosity she was holding the mind readers hand that was wrapped tightly around her shoulders she didn't seem to be affected whatsoever by this close proximity to not only the mind reader but the other 11 vampires in the clearly in truth she looked rather at ease. It seemed she was in on the secret and by the looks of things was in a relationship with the mind reader. Wow, never thought it to be possible for a relationship between human and vampire to exist, yet clearly I was wrong like I had been about so many other things to do with this coven.
"We shall leave now, make your plans for the future" she glanced at the pixie girl quickly then back to Carlisle "and we shall know if Bree steps out of line. Goodbye." And with that said Jane raised her hand towards her shoulder and the figures slowly started to retreat to the forest from which they came. I stared after them for a few moments processing the thoughts that they had let me live and it was all thanks to this coven 'family' standing next to me. I turned towards them now and every set of eyes was firmly on me. The blonde male with the scars was in front of me once more teeth bared but not as aggressive as before Carlisle at his shoulder smiling kindly at me. I noticed the mind reader had again positioned himself between me and the human, Bella. Suddenly, the huge vampire with black hair was flanking the scared vampire teeth also bared. Why had he moved so fast was it because I had looked towards the human?
The mind reader spoke, "Yes Bree that's why he moved."
I nodded towards him, looked him straight in the eye and thought, I will try my absolute hardest to not harm Bella or any other humans from now on, as you know I hated the life I had with Riley and the others with the exceptions of… my thoughts stopped abruptly I didn't want to think about them please can you help me I don't know how to even try to stop this thirst.
His smile widened as though he was proud of something I'd thought.
"Yes Bree I am. I can read the sincerity in your thoughts however you're still a newborn you can't control it but we will help you. I promise." He said.
"Thank you…" I trailed of realising I knew none of there names other than Bella and Carlisle I wanted to thank the mind reader personally.
"Edward." The mind reader spoke. "My names Edward."
"Thank you Edward. Thank you all of you." I looked round at the other vampires in the clearing. My eyes settled on Carlisle he had the kindest eyes there apart from a small vampire with long caramel coloured hair tied up in a neat bun on top her head she had a warm smile that reminded me of my mother, not that she was much of a mother that's is but still. I thought Edward can you help me out and introduce people to me? It feels weird not knowing the people who have taken responsibility for me. He chuckled lowly.
"Carlisle, introductions perhaps and then maybe some hunting, Bree's in need at this present time." Edward said.
I thanked him again silently, even though there was so much going on for me to try to process that thirst was there still so strong it was taking a lot of self control not to run at Bella. Edward stiffened slightly at this recent thought. I now only had to wait for the introduction and then I could go and hunt.
"Of course. Bree my name is Carlisle Cullen, I'm a doctor and I work at the local hospital this is my wife Esme" Carlisle introduced himself first and then gestured towards the female vampire with caramel hair and the motherly smile, at the mention her name she walked forward, the vampire with battle scars moved silently next to me, and grasped my hand in hers "Welcome to the family Bree." She then released my hand and stood next to Carlisle.
"I'm Alice! It's so nice to meet you Bree." Pixie girl ran forward and embraced me tightly and kissed my cheek lightly I was too shocked to do anything other than stand there while she hugged me, I noticed the scared vampire move restless next to me as Alice embraced me he was watching me with even more scrutiny. "Jasper, she's fine she won't hurt me." She spoke to the scared vampire is a chirpy tone; Jasper seemed to relax ever so slightly at this statement. "Will you Bree?" she asked me with a smile.
"No of course not. I'm trying very hard." And it was true I was trying very hard the burning in my throat was getting stronger and stronger I need the fire to be put of and now. "I'm sorry but I'm in agony here, it hurts so much how can stand it." I virtually screamed at Alice, she appeared unfazed by this sudden outburst and she simply took my hand squeezed it tightly and then face Jasper again.
"You, Rosalie, Esme and Emmett are going to take Bree hunting now and once Bella is at home and safe I'll come and join you okay?" she asked.
Jasper only nodded in response. However, the large black haired vampire who I presumed to be Emmett pushed up to me and spoke in a deep voice. "Hey I'm Emmett." Thoughts confirmed then Bree. "Stick to what we tell you when hunting okay?" I nodded numbly distracted by his vast chest and arms, this vampire was sure to be extremely strong.
Esme flitted back to Bree's side and took the hand Alice wasn't holding and gave it a gentle squeeze I'll be coming with you okay?" again I simply nodded.
"You'll be fine Bree as long as you do what they tell you and I'll be along before you know it okay?" Alice asked me.
"Okay, but why are so many of you coming? I've hunted plenty of times before, I know how to hide the bodies as well so that wont be a problem." I replied.
"Bree, honey you won't be hunting people, animal's sweetheart animals." Esme told me with a slight worry in her tone about how I would accept this.
"Can you really live of animal's I mean does it stop the thirst?" I asked.
"We will talk about this shortly but first you need to let go of Alice and then we can go." Esme told me softly it was only then that I realised I was still gripping onto one of Alice's tiny hands. I let it go instantly and Alice smiled at me.
"It's fine Bree but I need to get Bella home I'll see you real soon." She gave me another tight squeeze and walked over to Bella.
"Bye Bree." Bella called as Alice picked her up easily and ran into the forest with her. I was stunned Bella was even talking to me.
"She's good with weird." Edward told me smiling warmly.
I nodded, wondering if I were in her position would I be as accepting to this all.
"Carlisle we need to go to Wolves. Jacob will still be in a lot of pain." Edward told Carlisle.
"Certainly. Well Bree, I will see you once you get home and please behave for the others, because Jasper and Emmett will have no trouble with ending you should you appear out of control. I don't say this to threaten you only as a warning that they all had themselves." Carlisle told me in a serious voice.
"I understand." I replied timidly. Esme wrapped her arm around my shoulders in comfort.
"I'm Rosalie. Its nice to meet you Bree, despite the circumstances." The only vampire who's name I didn't know came forward and embraced me, she was stunning even for a vampire with golden hair that was tied in a pony tail that would surely reach her lower back that had a beautiful curl to it her face something that you could only explain as goddess beauty. She took my other hand and stood next to me.
Carlisle and Edward said their goodbyes and parted south of the clearing the way the wolves had gone. Rosalie and Esme lead me north of the clearing into the forest with Jasper and Emmett retreating backwards their eyes watching every movement of mine. I panicked, what if I couldn't control myself it wouldn't be my fault but both Emmett and Jasper wouldn't take that into consideration they would end me because I stepped out of line. And as sudden as the panic had hit me a wave of calm flooded over me. The others looked at Jasper knowingly as though they had felt it too, I was confused what would Jasper have to do with how I felt?
"I control emotions. I will explain more to you later but for now let's take care of that thirst." Jasper told me and for the first time he smiled at me. I smiled back thanking him for helping me with my emotions.
"We're family now dear; it's what were hear for to help you." Esme told me kindly and Rosalie squeezed my hand seconding that statement.
As members of my new 'family' , wow it felt weird to say that I belonged to a family I hadn't felt accepted in years even before I had been turned, walked with me into the forest I hoped that maybe just maybe this could work and I could have a second shot at the second life.
