Learning to trust

Ok so this is my first fanfic ever. It is pretty much my view on how Alice and Jasper had joined the Cullen's. I know that there are already quite a few stories about that but everyone of them differs. Anyway, most of it is in Carlisle's point of view but if you want to hear any specific P.O.V then just PM me or review me that person.

Carlisle P.O.V

Today was its typical peaceful day. I was in the study sorting out my documents, Edward was in is room probably reading Shakespeare, Esme was cleaning the house and Rose and Emmett were out hunting. That's when it had hit me. An unfamiliar smell, definitely vampire, but who? Possibly just a nomad passing through so I remained seated. Then there was a knock on the door of my study.

"Come in" I called and then Edward came in with a panicked expression.

Of course, my mind reading son must have heard the thoughts of the unfamiliar vampires.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I can hear two vampires not far from here and one or them is having dangerous thoughts".

I was immediately on my feet concerned. "And the other?" I questioned.

"The other one was saying hi to me through their mind almost as if they knew that I can read minds". He looked rather puzzled. And with that, there was a knock on the door.

Esme froze as both, Edward and I walked down the stairs. I then grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

Right in front of me was a small dark haired girl and her face had suddenly lit up with a huge smile as she hugged me.

"Carlisle! It's so great to finally meet you" she happily said.

I was very confused at this point. How does she know my name? But I didn't feel any threat from this girl. What shocked me was that her eyes were gold; vegetarian, like us. Behind the female vampire, but quite a distance away stood a blond male vampire. He had a skinny figure and was taller than the female but didn't exactly share the same confidence as her. He looked rather tense and observed everyone carefully; especially Edward. Unlike the girl, his eyes were mostly red with only a tinge of gold, telling me that he was struggling with the diet or he had only just started.

"My name is Alice and this is my mate, Jasper. I know that you are probably confused right now so I will start to explain things. May we come in"? She asked me.

The thought of two strangers entering our home made me feel a little uncomfortable, especially because of the dangerous look Jasper was giving off. It was like a one second glare per person and then a 10 second glare for Edward. I wonder why there was already so much tension between them. Edward would tell me anything I needed to know if it was important. Curious to who these vampires are, I decided to take the risk.

"Of course" I replied.

I decided to lead them in although I felt a little cautious. Alice began to walk inside but then stopped when she noticed that her honey blond mate hadn't moved. In fact, he tensed and started to shift uncomfortable as she was no longer next to him. As vulnerable as he looked, those dangerous eyes of his were not leaving Edward's.

"Come on Jasper, how many times do I have to tell you that it is ok. These people aren't a danger to us" He looked At Alice and then she walked up to him and took his hand, walking him in. She sat on the sofa and then patted the seat next to her for Jasper to sit, which he hesitantly did.

"So tell us about your selves" Esme said with a smile.

"Well, I have a power that helps me see into the future, well sort of. It depends what decision is made. The thing is, I woke up as a vampire with no memory of my human life but I had a vision of Jasper and then of you guys and your vegetarian life style" she explained and then smiled.

I was amazed but felt sorry for her at the same time; a psychic who has no memory of her life as a human.

"So you want to be like us?" Esme asked.

"Correct, we have both been working on out vegetarian lifestyle". She replied.

Alice then looked at Jasper, whose eyes looked to the carpet, obviously feeling uncomfortable talking about a vegetarian diet that he was clearly struggling with. Alice continued to speak.

"It has been rather difficult for us and if we stayed here we will find it much easier, I just know it"

I turned to Jasper whose scarlet eyes were now back on Edwards golden ones, still looking nervous.

"What about you?" I asked him.

He quickly glanced at me then back to the floor and remained silent, still not saying a word.

"He doesn't want to talk about it" Edward said calmly.

As I was about to explain about Edward, Alice quickly spoke.

"Oh don't worry, I know, you're the mind reader". She was definitely telling the truth about her gift. She then continued to speak "By the way, Emmett and Rosalie will be home in 3, 2, 1" and that's when Emmett suddenly burst through the door.

"I'm back!" he shouted and as he did, Jasper stood up from the sofa with his eyes on Emmett and started growling lowering himself into a defensive crouch. He continually growled as Rosalie walked in and she hissed. Then Alice took Jaspers hand in attempt to calm him down.

"Shhh, Jazz, it's ok, we're safe...we're safe" she whispered to him.

He quieted at the sound of her voice and then gradually stopped. Disappointed in himself, he looked to the ground and spoke his first words.

"My apologies".

Ok so please review. I will upload the next part as soon as possible. It is my first fanfic so I would appreciate any reviews. Also if there are any specific P.O.V you would like to read then let me know.
