The house was so bright and open, it was beautiful. The first person I saw however put the house to shame. I recognised the reddish brown hair, his pale skin and the liquid golden eyes. If I fainted, I hoped he would be the one to catch me. From the three of the family members I have seen so far, my suspicions were looking promising. They were all incredibly attractive, like gods. Then I saw his body stiffen, like he got scared. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella flick him a look.
"Edward, this is my cousin Evie." Bella just stood frozen next to me with the same look at Edward.
"Hi, nice to meet you." I took my glove off and held out my hand. He kept his hands in his pockets. I then put mine back by my side and rubbed my leg "I understand, the weather must affect your skin too right. You must all have the same skin condition or something."
"You understand a lot more than you should." He said bluntly. I was a little shocked. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and beckoned me to follow him
"Where are we going?"
"Yes, Edward, where are you going? She hasn't met everyone yet." Bella told him. He shot her a look which made her understand completely. I was still confused. "Don't be long. Edward took me into a room full of cd's.
"How did you find out?"
"Find out what? I don't understand." I said quietly, his stare scared me a little.
"Did someone tell you about us?"
"Charlie said that you and Bella were married and had a baby. Is that supposed to be secret?"
"No," He frowned. "So nobody told you anything strange about us?"
"No, but I have my suspicions. Bella knows I'm a firm believer in anything mythical, if you catch my drift."
"Yeah, yeah. I heard your drift. So you suspect, that my family, including Bella, are vampires?"
"Mmhmm. How do you know that? Why do you care?"
"Because your suspicions are dangerously correct, and it could be exactly that, dangerous."
"For who? You? Vampires are meant to be invincible. Except when you pull them apar-."
"You shouldn't know that. And it would be dangerous for you."
"I can handle myself. I don't need to be babysat."
"Well, with the things that you know, you do need to be babysat." He looked intense, but also a little worried.
"This is nice. You know, having a family with no secrets." I said sarcastically.
"You are so strange. Why aren't you scared?"
"Because if you were a traditional vampire, you would have eaten me by now, also, your eyes aren't the right colour." I sighed and leant against the wall. "We have gotten off to a bad start. Hey, I'm Evie, you're Edward. I know your deep dark secret, you don't know mine. There we go, best friends already." He laughed and headed for the door.
"Head downstairs and to the left, everyone is waiting for you in the kitchen. I'll beat you there, I'll tell them they don't need to hide."
I walked down the stairs while Edward breezed past me to reach them first. The first person I saw was a stunning blonde girl. I walked over to introduce myself.
"Hi, I'm Evie. You are so pretty. I never thought I would be jealous of someone, but here I am."
"Rosalie. You're lucky you are complimenting me, otherwise I wouldn't like you." I stood on my toes, and gave her a hug and she stood perfectly still.
"Sorry. It's just my thing." Rosalie raised one eyebrow at me and looked at the blonde haired boy out of the corner of her eye and then started to walk out of the room.
"Mmm, Jasper's gonna love you."
"What? I don't get it." I looked to Bella.
"Your scent is fairly strong." She explained. Oh right. That kinda slipped my mind.
"I'm sorry Jasper. I don't mean it."
"It's okay. Your scent is just a little bit stronger than everyone else's was."
"Is it okay if I give you a hug then?"
"I suppose that is okay." He grinned slightly. I walked over and put my arms around his shoulders as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Did that hurt?"
"More than I thought it would, but I'm alright." I looked at his eyes, they were slightly darker than everyone elses. I looked to the short spiky haired girl next to Jasper. She looked rather please.
"I'm Alice. One question; do you like to shop?"
"Hell to the yeah! I shopped before I left home."
"Bella. I like this one." She grinned. We were about the same size, small and petite, but I had hair like Bella, long and dark brown. "We are going shopping together soon." She said after staring into space for a little while.
I turned around to Emmett and then he picked me up off the floor with his muscle arms. I put me down and I only just managed to find my balance, before I fell over.
"I better go see what Rose is up to. She could be either plotting or primping, you never know with her."
"I'm guessing you two are the proud parents of this family. I'm Evie."
"I'm Carlisle, and this is my wife Esme." I stepped forward and gave them both a hug and then turned to Bella and Edward.
"Well Bella. I believe I haven't met someone yet."
"Right, our niece Renesmee, we call her Nessie though."
"Nessie?"
"Yeah. My friend Jacob nicknamed her that, after the lochness monster. He thought she was a monster because of the things she is capable of."
"She isn't an immortal child is she? That is like illegal in the vampire world."
"No she isn't. She is half, half. She is two years old, but looks about six."
"Fair enough I guess. Now, who is this Jacob I hear about? Single?" I grinned.
"Yes, he is part werewolf and he imprinted on Nessie."
"Oh well. Imprintings don't always end in marriage now do they? I'm already in a house full of vampires, I'm pretty sure a werewolf can't be too bad."
"Well, we would all go hunting about now, but we went last night so that we could meet you with a full stomach. But I guess we would do just normal family stuff about now. What would you like to do today?" Bella asked.
"Why do you sound so normal?" I looked around me, they were all blinking, sitting, shifting their weight.
"We have to keep up the charade. For Charlie."
"You don't need to do this for me you guys. I mean, I have only dreamed of this sort of thing to come true, and now that it has, I don't know. It's amazing." I turned around to see Alice standing right behind me.
"Time for shopping" She said in her high soprano voice. "Rosalie, we are leaving." She said in a casual voice.
"Rosalie isn't a fan of me is she?"
"No, but she likes you more than she liked Bella." She added cheerfully.
"That may make life easier." I looked at Alice who suddenly went blank.
"Pencil, paper, now." She demanded. I grabbed them from the bench and passed them over. Alice began to draw quickly over the blank paper. I had no idea what was going on.
"She sees the future." Edward answered my thought. He seemed a little worried.
Once Alice finished drawing, she looked to me. I looked at her and then stared at the sketch. It was of someone in a hospital bed, with someone looking over them.
"Don't worry about it Evie. I see things all of the time. They don't always come true."
"But what was this one about?"
"You and Carlisle."
"Is Carlisle a doctor?"
"Yeah, you were totally out of it, in a coma or something close." I stared at the drawing. I wasn't scared easily, but this was different. This was me.
"Are we going now?" Rosalie demanded.
"Uh, yeah. Let me just grab my bag." Alice said and then grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the door.
"Nice car." Rosalie commented.
"Thanks, my parents bought it for me." Rosalie smiled.
"Where to?" I asked as I slid into the drivers seat.
"Port Angeles. Its close and its raining, one of the rare days there is no sun." Alice said.
"Port Angeles it is." I put my foot down and we sped out of the driveway.
