"Edward, where is Esme?"
I mentally sighed and said, "She went hunting with Alice and Jasper, but they should be here any second now. Would you like me to get Rosalie and Emmett though?"
"Sure, I guess they should know too." Carlisle replied after thinking it over. His thoughts were full of concern, it seemed as though he was trying his best to hide a huge secret. Sadly he forgot that I have the ability read other's minds.
"What do you mean, Carlisle? Why shouldn't Rose and Emmett know? What are you hiding?" I was curious as to what had Carlisle, the most composed of us all, shaking in his boots.
"Nothing," he paused, "it's just that…well…never mind Edward, you'll see when Esme, Alice, and Jasper return. Just go and get Rosalie and Emmett for me, okay?"
Strange, Carlisle was never this exasperated before. What are you thinking? I thought and suppressed the sudden urge to see what exactly he was thinking and made my way up the stairs to get the two love birds (Rosalie and Emmett for those who are clueless fools.). Sadly, as I entered their shared room, I found them in the middle of a love session. Rosalie was the first to see me and instantly shot me here famous death glare.
You just had to interrupt us just as we were getting to the good part. Man, I really should make sure no one can disrupt us again. She thought as she let out huge, dramatic sigh before v lining straight to her closet for her scarlet robe while Emmett was ready to go in two seconds flat.
New record, he thought and smirked. "So, Edward, what or gave you an insane reason to disrupt us, eh?"
I chuckled and said one word to explain it all, "Carlisle."
~Downstairs~
Esme had just returned and was quickly handing Jasper a list for food before running off to the kitchen like a chicken without a head. Food? Why do we need food? I thought and looked over to Carlisle who was talking to Alice about something I didn't pick up but by the looks of it seemed really depressing because Alice's face kept growing sadder and sadder as Carlisle continued talking to her. Infact, it looked as though she was on the verge of tears. (Ha, if only that was possible.) But what really got my attention was the young girl curled up on the couch staring blankly out the window. She looked to be no older than sixteen. She wore a plain gray t-shirt with Tweety bird pajama pants on except she had on those gray slipper socks that a patient gets while they are in the hospital. Her dark brown, extremely curly hair was tied in a high pigtail, with a side bang falling over her purple and orange glasses that had small silver crocodiles on the sides. She had dark brown eyes that were hidden by low lidded eye lids and long thick lashes. I noticed that she involuntary shuddered as I passed by her and again as Rosalie glared at her as she and Emmett made their way to the kitchen.
Carlisle noticed my presence and turned to face me, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Ah, Edward, I see you've gotten a good look at my little friend. I hope you will be on your best behavior for Angel, right?" asked a stern Carlisle.
"Who?" I looked back at the girl the back to Carlisle and replied, "You mean that sixteen- year-old is your big surprise?"
