As I sat in the Cullen's living room, I looked around. This place was really bright, but comfortable looking and after the introductions these people didn't seem so bad, but I still didn't trust them.
'so Bella, tell us about yourself." Esme said
I automatically looked to Jasper for permission. When he nodded, I turned back to Esme.
"Um well, I am 13 and have been a vampire for about 60 years. Uh, I'm a junior at the High school. Um, I'm originally for Arizona and I'm not sure who changed me or why. After I woke up, I was walking when two guys like us grabbed me and brought me to Maria. She kept me for about a year before I ran away during a battle. I wandered around the south for a couple years till I came north. I've been here ever since."
"So you don't have a coven?" Alice asked
"No not at the moment." The moment the word's left my mouth, Jasper growled loudly and pulled me closer. They all stared at him and it put my on edge. Once they looked at me again, Emmett asked
"Do you have any powers?"
I stiffened and glared at him
"Why?"
All of them looked shocked at my tone.
"Isabella you don't have to tell us anything that makes you uncomfortable." Carlisle said.
I nodded, but now I was on high alert. Somehow I knew I was safe with Jasper, but it wouldn't help to become complacent. Jasper pulled me closer, sensing my agitation and stood up. He held onto my shoulder as he addressed his family.
"I will be back." He said in a calm voice, and then he led me upstairs. Being away from the rest of his family helps me calm down.
I look around at the pictures on the walls, as we walk down the halls. Some are abstract and some are of landscapes. I see one of the whole family, they all look so happy, even Edward.
I heard Jasper come up behind me and tilted me head back to see him.
"Emmett had just told a really stupid joke and Rosalie smacked him, making the rest of us laugh. Esme had set a timer and took the picture, while we were distracted. Those were good times and I'm sure we'll have eventually more. Now come along." With that he turned around and continued down the hall. I took one last look at the picture and rushed after Jasper. He stopped at a door and looked at me.
"Isabella, this is my study, you can use anything you want as long as you put it back afterwards. You are to stay in this room until I return for you alright?"
"I understand."
He opened the door and I walked in and looked around.
"I will be back soon." Then he turned around and closed the door.
His study was pretty cool. It was more like a bedroom though. On the far wall there was a window, a couch and a huge bookcase and by the left wall there was a TV and some game stations. To the right there was a desk and a computer.
I walked over to the book case and scanned some of the titles. Most of them were War books, but he had some fiction books. I picked out Dragons of Darkness and lay back on the couch. After the boys had gotten to the rebel village, my eyes started to droop. I sleepily put the book back in what I think was its original spot and fell asleep on the couch.

I left Isabella in my study to calm down. I didn't need my ability to tell that she was uncomfortable, hell when I first came here I didn't trust them either. After being in the wars for 150 years, meeting people like Carlisle and Esme seemed like a trap.
I walked into the living room and sat down.
"Jasper, Isabella seems to be very close to you already, have you met her before?" Carlisle asked.
I looked at him "Carlisle, Isabella is . . . . . Special to me. Essentially, she is to young for a mate in a romantic setting. She like Alice is my mate, but she will be more of a daughter while Alice is my wife. "I pulled Alice closer to me. "I will stay with Isabella, especially since she has been alone for so long. As for her power or powers as the case may be, she will tell you when she is ready. Is that all?"
"Will she be staying with us?" Esme asked.
"I don't know about Alice, but I will stay in her home until she is more comfortable with a coven of this size."
Alice cupped my cheek "you know I will go with you Jazz."
I leaned over and kissed her. "I know babe."
"So let me get this straight, Bella is too young for a real mate, so she has a father-mate bond thing with Jasper?" Emmett asked
"Ya that just about sums it up."
"So, what about Alice? Is Bella mated to her too?"
"I feel strongly for her, but more like she's my sister. Now don't get me wrong, a really, REALLY close sister, but still a sister none the less." Alice answered
"Ok, now that we have that out of the way, is there anything else we need to talk about?" Carlisle asked and looked around. When nobody answered he started again. "Ok then, I guess we're done here."
Everyone separated to continue on with their day, while Alice and I went upstairs to check on Isabella. As we stood outside of my study, I couldn't hear any movement inside and started to worry.
"Isabella?" I called, gently opening the door.
When she didn't answer I looked around to find her passed out on the couch. I walked over and shook her gently. She responded with a garbled sound that sounded oddly like doodle. Alice walked in the room and laughed and I couldn't help but chuckle along. I shook her again and she rolled towards me and blinked sleepily.
"Well hello there sleepy head." I chuckled
"Hi Jasper." she answered groggily
"Bella, Alice and I would like to stay with you, until you are ready to live here. Is that ok with you?" that got her awake.
"really, you're staying with me?"
"If you let us." Then she screamed and started jumping up and down. If I didn't know the situation I would have truly thought she was Alice's sister. Then Isabella's jumping and squealing set off Alice. I watched amusedly and a little fearfully as both of my girls jumped up and down.
As I edged toward the door they both stopped and stared at me. I froze for a second before turning and running for the door when they tackled me, laughing.
"Come on, come on, I want to show you my house. You're going to love it and I was really lucky to find it. There's even a pool in the basement!" Bella grabbed my hand and started to drag me down the hall.
She stopped after a couple of steps and looked at her hand. She flexed her fingers before looking back at Alice and holding her hand out. The love I felt flowing from Alice at that moment was enough to make venom tears come to my eyes.
Isabella's house was only half an hour away from ours, and looking at it you would never doubt that an adult lived here. The house is 3 stories high with a walkway that splits. The first path led to the house and the second leads around the back of the house. As I'm about to step on the path, Bella screams.
"Jasper stop!"
I freeze and look around for danger and head back towards them.
"What! What's wrong!"
"You can't get in."
"What ?"
Alice and I both stared at her
"You can't get in." she says in a calmer voice
Alice spaces out for a second before smirking at me.
"Bella why don't you just let Jasper try and get to the house."
Bella looked at her.
"Okay?"
"Oh come on, she couldn't do anything that bad." I shake my head and head back to the house.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary.. I hear Alice snicker behind me, as I step on the path. I take a couple more steps and hit a wall. I put my hand against it and a bolt of electricity shoots up my arm.
I'm a vampire, have been for over a century and I know that I'm not hurt easily, but God Damn it! That Shit Hurt!
"Bella are you doing that?"
"Yes I'm sorry I'll take it down."
"No, no don't do that. Is there another way around it or through it?"
"Well I can let you through, but it's like a big bubble."
Alice clears her throat and looks at both of us. "Perhaps we should finish this inside?"
I look around and nod at her. We're out in the open, anyone or thing could hear us.
"Come let's go inside.
