A/N hi! I'm being really brave and posting this fanfic. I've been thinking about doing a story like this for a while now and the idea is starting to bug me. This very slightly AU and I'm sorry if it bothers any of you.
Firstly, I'm going to apologise in advance if any of the characters in my fic goes OOC. It will most likely be characters like Rosalie, Jasper and Edward and once again I apologise if that does happy.
Also, in this fic none of the Cullen siblings are going to be mated (for example no Emmett/Rosalie romance) and I apologise once again for this fact, I'm just experimenting with this fic really as its my first ever twilight one.
This is basically going to start of with Edward having been living with Carlisle and Esme for about six months (they were together before Carlisle changed Edward and they are both vampires).
The ages of the Cullen siblings are going to be different as well and I hope that it doesn't bother anyone.
Here are their physical ages:
Carlisle (30)
Esme (29)
Edward (16)
Rosalie (15)
Jasper (15) (he and Rose are actually going to be twins)
Emmett (17)
Alice (14)
Finally, there is going to be no Bella in this fic as she kind of gets annoying after a while, I think it might be because we hear enough from her in the books and movies...that's my theory anyway.
Anyways, I hope you all like the first chapter and I'm sorry for the ridiculously long A/N I just had to clear a few things up in advance...
I hope everyone who reads will also enjoy! :D x
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight, I would never have been able to have come up with a plot so amazing as the twilight saga...:D
Esme Cullen hummed along to the beautiful notes being played on the piano by her 'son', Edward, as she dusted around the house. 'Such a talented boy' she gushed in her head knowing he could hear her thoughts and hoping she would get a good reaction out of him.
She sighed sadly to herself as she thought about how negatively Edward had reacted when he woke to this life just over six months ago. Whereas she had taken her own change in her stride he had shown nothing but resentment. Resentment for Carlisle, resentment for her, resentment for himself for what he had become.
Esme knew he felt like Carlisle had taken his soul from him by turning him into 'a monster' but she just wished he would realise her husband had done it out of love. Love for him. Carlisle and Esme both saw the bronze haired boy as their own son, their own baby, but he continued to push them both away.
Carlisle was always reassuring her that he would come round but she could even see the doubt in his own eyes increase each time he spoke those words of comfort. She hated seeing that look and although she knew he would never regret bringing Edward into their lives she knew her husband well enough to know that he was starting to feel as if Edward was right.
Esme was suddenly taking away from her musings when she heard a loud crash as the boy in the next room stopped playing his beloved instrument. She sighed and gracefully moved towards the door way and watched Edward stand from his seat by the piano. The older woman placed her hands on her hips and gave Edward a scolding look, "Edward please treat your possessions with respect, I know you're still getting used to your own strength but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't slam the lid of your piano down like that." She half lectured in a soft, motherly tone.
Edward rolled his eyes and walked over to the book shelves to pick out another book practically ignoring his 'mothers' reprimand. Esme's jaw clenched as she wandered further into the room so she was standing by the offended instrument. She had never raised her voice to the boy and that fact wasn't going to change in a trivial situation such as this. "I'm waiting for an apology Edward." She spoke firmly after a few moments of silence whilst she watched him scan Carlisle's extensive collection of novels.
"Sorry, ma'am." He replied spitting the word 'ma'am' out covered in sarcasm.
"And what have Carlisle and I told you about sarcasm young man?" She asked gradually growing irritated with his ignorance.
Once again the brooding Edward ignored her and continued on with his search for a good book. "Right, that's it, I want you to wait in your room until your fa-"
"Carlisle is not my father!" Edward bellowed interrupting her half way through her order. "Don't think for a second that your and Carlisle can order me around! You aren't my parents so stop acting like my mother! My mothers dead! Do you hear me?! She's dead!" He continued to rant as he got up into Esme's face glaring at her threateningly.
Esme was about to reply but before she could another's voice came from the living room door way making them both freeze. "And what exactly is going on here?" Edward gulped as he knew Carlisle's stern question was aimed for him as he would never talk to his precious Esme in such a manner.
Esme stepped away from Edward and turned to smile at her husband. "Carlisle! You're home early!" She said with a big smile on her face acting as if nothing had happened. The caramel haired woman walked over to her beloved and got onto her tip toes so she could peck him on the cheek.
Carlisle pulled her towards his body with his arms protectively around her waist whilst he glared at their wayward 'son'. "Edward, do you care to explain yourself? And don't even think about lying, I heard every word you spoke to Esme and to say I'm disappointed and ashamed would be an understatement." He ranted but never raised his voice.
"I-I...she...I-"
"Oh Carlisle, it's fine, it was all just a silly misunderstanding-"
"Esme my dear, do not try to stick up for him. He shouldn't have spoken to you with so much attitude and disrespect." Carlisle said interrupting her softly whilst he squeezed her tighter to him. "Edward I would like you to wait in your room, I'll be with you shortly." He said and Edward could tell by the tone of his 'fathers' voice that it wasn't a request but more of a demand.
"Yes sir." The reprimanded boy spoke solemnly as he traipsed out of the room with his head bowed.
Once they heard his bedroom door close Carlisle turned to his beautiful wife and brushed a piece of her fringe out of her eyes. "Now, tell me honestly, what happened?" He asked before placing a lingering kiss on her forehead.
"Nothing happened, I had it all under control." She reassured him as she patted his cheek tenderly.
"Esme, please, don't lie to me. I know you love that boy of ours but please, if he's disrespecting you on a daily basis I need to know." Carlisle practically begged.
Esme unwrapped her arms from around his waist and pulled away from him with an unhappy expression upon her face. "Now you're just exaggerating, he's not always like that-"
"Now I know you're not being completely honest with me. He's been resentful and full of so much hate since the day he woke to this life. I can understand him being angry at me but he has no right to be so malicious to you, you have been nothing but kind to him and he at least needs to acknowledge that even if he doesn't veiw you as his mother." Carlisle said in a sympathetic tone. He knew Esme would be delighted if Edward ever saw them as his parents so he knew that what Edward had said had hit a nerve. How did he know those things? Well for one he wanted the same thing as her and two, he felt his unbeating heart constrict painfully when he heard Edwards admission about him not being his father.
"I can see how much his words have hurt you so please, please don't lie to me." He practically begged and that's all it took to send his wife into a sobbing mess.
"Oh Carlisle, I really do love him, why can't he see that? He's so full of hate and it hurts me when I see him looking so down, why won't he just talk to us? Why won't he let us help him?" She asked rhetorically as he dear, sweet husband brought her back into his comforting embrace.
"Shh, I know, its alright, we'll talk to him. Let's just give us all some time to cool down, okay? Somehow I don't think he'll be ready for confrontation." He smiled a little as his darling wife lifted her head from his rock hard chest to reveal her venom covered face. "Oh honey, why didn't you tell me this was all making you so upset? We could have spoken to him sooner." He said saly as he held her face in his hands.
"Everytime I did you just kept saying he would come round so I guess I just gave up." She shrugged and an overwhelming sense of guilt washed over Carlisles form when he remembered that his wife had come to hime to tell him about her worries.
"Oh Esme, I'm sorry, so truly sorry, can you ever forgive me for being so ignorant?" He asked in anguish and Esme gasped and looked at him in shock.
"There's nothing to forgive, my love. I too thought that Edward would adapt to this life in time, please don't blame yourself. How about we go hunt before we speak to Edward, it will calm your nerves." She suggested and she didn't wait for a reply as she was already dragging him through the house and out the back door into the forest that surrounded their mansion of a home.
Kind of an abrupt ending to a chapter so sorry about that...
I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter, please leave a review to tell me what you think. :D x
