Sorry, I haven't updated. But suddenly, I got a pumped up feeling of writing this chapter, so here!
Disclaimer: Yeah, I'm actually the Stephenie who created the wonderful world of Twilight. NOT.
Edward POV
I can't believe a seventeen year old girl randomly fell out of the sky while we played collapsed on top of me. Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice ran to where I was. All of their thoughts were surprised and startled. Even Alice didn't know this would happen, after hearing her shocked thoughts. Omigod, Edward! Why didn't I see this? I'm SO sorry. Oh, she's unconscious! Ooh, her dress is SO pr- and I stopped listening there. Emmett started to laugh on how funny it was. I swear he is a four-year old trapped in a huge body. I focused on the girl who was limp in my arms. She was completely passed out. And her ankle looked broken. "We need to get her back to the house." I stated.
Everyone nodded. We ran back into the house, not caring about the previous game. "I'm calling Carlisle. I want him to check if she's okay." Alice said, already dialing. Carlisle and Esme were on a hunting trip. Jasper was holding his breath, looking very uncomfortable. Although we didn't need to breathe, it was very uncomfortable not to.
I just don't want to take any chances. He thought. I nodded in sympathy. Her blood smelled nice, like a sort of lavender. Emmett just kept rambling on how "awesome" it was that she fell out of the sky. Rosalie just smiled, holding up her compact mirror. Always the vain one.
Alice shut her phone. "They'll be here in five minutes." She announced.
I glanced down and saw that her face was tear streaked. Suddenly, she shivered. Probably from my ice cold skin. "I think she's waking up." Emmett said excitedly. She let out a groan. Her hands were roaming out to find something. They landed on her purse, which looked like it was over stuffed. She sighed in relief.
Being very impatient, Rosalie asked, "Are you okay?" Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing startling dark blue eyes. She took one look at our faces, and whispered, "No way," before passing out once more.
"Don't worry!" Alice sang, "She'll be wake again in seven minutes, forty-five seconds, and counting." Emmett whined. Jasper rolled his eyes. "Be patient. Geez." He sighed.
Celesta POV
I woke up, again. This time, there were all seven of them. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, and… Edward. Then I realized he was holding me. I immediately tried to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in my ankle. I winced in pain.
Carlisle quickly examined me. "It seems your ankle is broken. I put a cast on it, but try not to put any weight on it." I muttered a thank you, and positioned myself to lean on the couch for support.
Alice and Emmett were practically bouncing up and down. "Hi," Alice began excitedly, "I'm-"
I cut her off. "Alice Cullen." She smiled. "Emmett Cullen, Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen, Jasper Hale, Rosalie Hale, and," I paused. "Edward Cullen. I know what you are, and your diet, and the treaty, and I won't expose your secret to anyone. Oh, I'm Celesta, by the way…" I finished awkwardly.
They looked at me with shock. Rosalie's eyes narrowed. "How do you know so much about us? When you are just a human? List some facts that ONLY our coven knows." She hissed.
"Rose!" Esme scolded. I shook my head.
"No, its fine. She just wants some information." I smiled. "Well, you, Rosalie, want a regular human life. And want to have kids. But, uh, can't." I mumbled the last part. She looked stunned. I continued. "Alice, you were imprisoned in an asylum, because you had visions." She closed her eyes. "Jasper, you were a Confederate soldier and trained thousands of newborn vampires for Maria." I felt shock seep into me. "Emmett, you were from Tennessee, and was mauled by a bear. Rosalie saved you." He grinned at me.
"Carlisle, you were a preacher's son. After being turned, you tried to perfect being immune to human blood by becoming a doctor." He nodded, amazed by how much I know. "Esme, you um… "fell" off a cliff after your baby…..died." She let out a gasp.
And finally, I turned to Edward. "You, Edward, were born in 1901. Edward Sr. and Elizabeth Masen were your parents. Your father was a lawyer. In Chicago, in 1918, the Spanish Influenza hit. Your parents died and you almost did too, but your mother begged Carlisle, who was your doctor, to save you as she was lying on her deathbed. Oh, and you also hear people's thoughts." His topaz eyes widened.
I turned my head back to Rosalie. "Is that enough for you?" I asked innocently. She growled lowly.
"How do you know so much about our family?" Carlisle inquired, very intrigued.
I opened my mouth to respond, but shut it in realization. I wasn't supposed to be here. I wasn't supposed to tell them that I knew what they were. Fear struck in my heart.
Oh no. What have I done? I may have messed up the plotline! Frantically, I opened the book. After flipping through pages, everything looked the same, but… "Oh no." I moaned. At the part where Jessica talks about the Cullens with Bella, when Jessica got to Edward, there was a girl sitting next to him. A girl with long, black hair. Me.
So when she saw that, Jessica told Bella that I was a new girl too. That I was Edward's girlfriend. And after Bella heard that, she didn't ask about Edward. She completely backed off. AND if things couldn't get any worse, I took the empty seat beside Edward in Biology II. Which made Bella sit in a lonely corner. So then Edward couldn't smell her tantalizing scent.
I was shaking. I couldn't tell anything else to anyone. And I couldn't let anyone read this book. No one.
"Is something wrong, my dear?" Esme asked, concern in her honey gold eyes. I shook my head, then I suddenly felt calm. I looked back at Jasper.
"Thank you." I smiled. His eyes were startled. "Y-you know I'm an empath?" he asked. Dang it! There I go again. I sighed, and nodded.
Oh no! Edward! The mind reader! He could have heard all my thoughts! I quickly turned to Edward. "C-can you hear my thoughts?" I asked him shakily. To my surprise, he let out a frustrated groan.
"No. I have no idea why though." He replied in his velvety smooth voice. Unlike most Twi-Hard fans, I was NOT infatuated with Edward. I thought Edward was perfect for Bella. And they were soulmates. I just imagine having someone LIKE (like being the key word) Edward. Someone who would protect me, and love me, and share my musical hobby.
"So how do you know so much about us, Celesta?" Emmett asked, repeating Carlisle's previous question.
I let out a sigh. "I'm truly sorry, but, I can't tell you." Rosalie snarled quietly, Emmett and Alice pouted, Jasper radiated disappointment, and Carlisle and Esme slightly frowned. Edward kept his poker face on, but you could see annoyance in his topaz eyes.
"Well, where are you from?" Jasper asked curiously. I felt a pang of homesickness, but responded, "Nashville, Tennessee."
Emmett's smile got even bigger, and exclaimed, "The good ol' Volunteer state!" We high-fived each other.
"But how did you get here?" Edward asked. "You just fell out of the sky and landed on top of me."
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "Are you serious?" they nodded. "Well, I'm sorry for landing on you, Edward. I have no idea. I just remember blacking out, then ending up here." No need to tell them I bombed my recital and tripped.
"Well, tomorrow is Monday. You need a place to stay don't you, dear? Well, you can stay with us, we have plenty of room." Esme said excitedly. I was about to refuse, when she held hand up. "I will not take no for an answer. Ooh, I can finally cook for someone!" She exclaimed.
"And we can go shopping for her clothes!" Alice smiled in her pixie-like way. "We have to do it now, since school is tomorrow. Well, we can dit-"
"No!" I shouted. If they ditched, they wouldn't see Bella. Everyone looked at me questioningly. I formulated a quick lie. "I, uh, want to enroll with you. I still need to go to school, I mean, I'm not like you, who went to school, hundreds of times." I tried. They seemed to believe me.
"Well, okay. I'll enroll you tomorrow." Carlisle said. I let out a sigh, but quickly remembered what would happen after I entered the cafeteria. That was a very stupid mistake. I can't let this happen again.
"You might as well catch up on your sleep. I don't want you to be all gross looking tomorrow. It'll ruin my image." Rosalie sniffed. "There's a bed three doors down on the left." Alice chimed in. I nodded, and headed up the stairs.
A I snuggled into the comfy bed, I almost forgot to do one more thing. "Um, can all of you promise me something?" I asked in a normal voice, knowing very well that they could hear me. They all yelled a "yeah" or "sure."
"Do NOT touch my book. Please. You don't need to know anything inside it." I said, before falling into Twilightland.
Yes, yes, I know its really short. The next chapter, they'll be heading to school! Review!! I might not be updating for a while, tomorrow is my first day of school since winter break. Booo. So after I fall back into my daily routine, I'll update. Ciao!
