Normal Writing- the story
Bold Writing- Twilight or authors notes
Slated Writing- People's thoughts
"I'm an average normal person," I thought to myself. "Except for the fact that I drink animal blood and can hear people's thoughts, that's totally normal!"
My name is Edward Cullen and I'm a vampire, cold one, bloodsucker, flying bat, whatever you call it. I have a "special talent" as my sister calls it, to read people's minds. It can be cool at times, but at other times it's just plain annoying. My sister, Alice, can see the future, which comes in quite handy and her husband, Jasper can control emotions. That gets kind of annoying at points, too.
As for Emmett, my other brother, doesn't have a talent but he is extremely strong and his wife, once again my other sister, Rosalie is really hot. Not that I think so, but that's what other people think.
Carlisle and Esme are our parents. Well, if you want to call them that. Carlisle our creator and his mate are our adoptive parents. He changed all of us. My parents died when I was seventeen, of the Spanish Influenza. I was dying of it also. It was then in 1918 that Carlisle changed me. I am now forever seventeen. Well my looks anyway. In real age I am ninety-seven, but let's not worry about that.
As I walked into my home, I heard several things going on at once. My "special talent" sometimes isn't so special. It really hurts my head with all the thoughts. This was one of those many times.
I could hear Emmett and Jasper in the living room, wondering what to do for fun.
Emmett's voice invaded my head, 'Maybe me and Jazz could have a wrestling match. That would amuse Bella. Maybe this time we won't hurt Esme's garden. We probably shouldn't let her hear our plans, but I bet she will.'
I bet she would, too. It was always funny when those two got in trouble for fighting. When would Emmett learn?
Esme was in the kitchen staring out the window thinking, 'Maybe I should put the white and red roses together and get some purple and=2 0blue flowers for the other side'
"That sounds lovely, Esme." I whispered to her.
"Thanks, dear." She answered.
Whispering was all we had to do because vampires have amazing hearing. This is the part that Emmett would never learn. Esme would hear everything. I am willing to bet everyone heard what I just said.
Alice was upstairs wondering when the next clothing sale was, so she can get some clothes for Bella, 'Oh goody! There's one next week at my favorite children store! I bet Bella will love all the new winter clothes I get her.'
I bet not. Bella hates fancy clothes. Alice knew that. That's why Alice never looks into the future to see what Bella's reaction will be. She already knew Bella would be mad.
Jasper was in the living room, bored, 'Maybe I should go see what Alice is doing,' then he focused on her emotion, excited, 'Or not, probably another damn shoppi ng trip.'
I snickered at that thought. Jazz looked at me and smiled. We all knew not to talk to Alice when she was like this otherwise you would get dragged into going with her. As usual I couldn't hear Bella's thoughts, but I could hear her heartbeat. She was in the room that housed my piano, probably waiting for me to come and play for her.
I heard Emmett get up and walk over to Jasper. "Okay, man, you wanna have a wrestling match?"
"Dude, that's the best idea you have had all day!" Jazz was excited, you could feel it. It made you excited, too.
Esme screamed in her head and mine, 'Oh no they won't! I guess Emmett didn't learn the last time.'
The last time they had a wrestling match they destroyed Esme's garden and were grounded for a month.
I head Alice walking downstairs, 'Oh, cheese sticks, another wrestling match, oh wait….,' She stopped walking, overcome in a vision, 'Yay, Jazz wins!' She skipped the rest of the way down the stairs.
At least he would until Esme breaks it up. Man, this would have been a good one. Emmett hates losing. Uh oh, here she comes.
"You two are not having another wrestling match! Didn't you learn the last time?" A picture of her ruined garden floated through her head.
Em and jazz hung their heads in shame and said in unison, "Alright, we won't." But, inside their minds I could tell they were both trying not to crack up because Esme just can't be mean. It always makes everyone laugh. I heard Bella quietly giggling in the piano room.
I guess I should go into=2 0detail about my other sister, Rosalie. I never try to hear her thoughts because they are usually focused on her.
I walked into the piano room and spotted Bella sitting on the bench, staring at the keys, wistfully.
"Did you want me to play for you today?" I asked her, softly.
After steadying her heartbeat because she had jumped about a foot in the air, she said, "Oh, would you please? You're such a great player."
After a moment of pretend thinking, which I'm almost sure was pure agony for her I said, "Oh, I guess."
Maybe I should explain a little about Bella. She is ten years old and very cute. Alice and Jazz found her one day in the forest, where her friend had left her. She came home with them and somehow discovered our secret, which we still to this day have no idea how she found out, and never left. Well, she goes home to her parents, but they always fight in front of her, so she stayed with us a lot. She had been here this time for two weeks, I think, because it was summer break for us. She had an effect on me, I would give her that. I loved her. She was like my little sister, but more, somehow.
I played for around an hour when she said in her childish voice, "Let's go see what the others are up to, okay? Oh and by the way, thanks for playing for me!"
"You know how much I like playing for you, sis." I bent down to her level. I took her hand and led her into the living room where Rose, Emmett, Jazz, and Alice were sitting doing their own little things. As usual their thoughts were as if I was at a party with a bunch of people.
Emmett laughed, 'Oh here comes the dream team. I wonder if Edward will 'rock her world' when she gets older? (AN: this isn't perverted, my friend thought of it and I stuck it in here.)
I reached over and smacked him on the back of his head.
"What was that for?" he whined, "For you and your nasty thoughts, and by the way, no I will not!" I sneered. He replied with a sly smile.
Alice was in her own world having a vision. I could tell because she had the dazed look on her face that she always gets.
'Edward?' She asked through her thoughts.
My head snapped up. She only talks, or in this thinks to me when it's important. I nodded to her slightly to let her know to go on.
'Do you love Bella?'
I nodded at that and sent a deadly look her way. One that said what the fuck is going on here?
'Then why do I see you hugging her and telling her that she has to call everyday and to never forget us?'
I just shrugged, that was odd. I pulled Bella closer to me, and whispered to her, "Bella, sweetie, go and find Carlisle. Tell him that I said I needed him to tell you a story while Alice and I talk, okay?"
"Yes, sir!" She saluted me, giggling and ran up the stairs to find him.
I've finally caught the attention of my other siblings.
"What's up?" They asked simultaneously. They glanced up at each other for half a second and burst out laughing.
"Alice, tell them now!" I demanded. As Alice explained I felt Carlisle stiffen upstairs. I held up my hand to stop Alice. "Just wait, I'll tell you in a bit!" I spoke at vampire speed so Bella wouldn't hear me talking to Carlisle. As Alice continued the story, I heard Carlisle start his story about myths that people came up with about vampires. That should keep them busy for a while. Alice was just finishing up telling them what was going on. "---- and I saw him telling Bella not to forget us."
"Well, when does it happen?" Rosalie asked.
"Tomorrow." Alice answered grimly.
I could see Emmett and Jasper's shoulders moving as if crying, which couldn't be true because we can't cry. Jasper was making everyone sad because of his power. Rosalie and Alice went over to comfort them. I could hear their thoughts.
Jasper thought, 'Wow. Poor Bella. This'll be rough on her and everyone else. Edward, the most, I mean it's almost sick, I can feel the lust coming from him when he's around Bella. This is going to kill him.'
I growled at that. He better not tell anyone. Alice looked up at me in surprise, but Rosalie was too busy comforting Emmett to notice.
Emmett's thoughts were sad, but funny. He was always trying to keep the tough guy image when he was really just a big teddy bear.
'Damn it. They-sob- better not tell anyone- sob- about this. Otherwise every- sob- one will think- sob- that I'm going soft. I've got a stupid ass re to protect, and Bella's- sob- ruining it for me. Oh I am- sob- going to miss that little girl. Ever since Ali and Jaz found her in the woods---'
After that I couldn't take hearing them anymore. I rushed, well ran up the stairs to Bella. I pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
"Human can't breathe." She muttered, blushing.
