Chapter 2 - Introductions...more or less
Charlotte's POV
Rosalie angrily launched herself at me, only to be stopped by Esme's quick reflexes and persuasion. "Rose, you can't harm Reneesme! And try to give our guest a warm welcome," Esme said, giving me a motherly smile. Shooting her a glare, Rosalie began, "Guest?! This...this...intruder broke into our house and is attempting to kidnap Nessie!" Intruder? Huh, she has NO idea who she's dealing with. A long-lost Cullen, in a a sense. Esme had to grab Rosalie before she could sink her teeth into my cold figure. Literally. I gently passed Nessie off to Esme so I could deal with the issue at hand. Just before the blond vampire was able to strike at me, the rest of the family heard the commotion. Oh, I do love a good family reunion! Upon Alice's arrival, however, I was greeted with a more kind approach and a warm (well, warm if she was a human) embrace. "Charlotte, it's so great to see you! You've grown so much...even if you're frozen in time," she laughed, her golden eyes full of life. Before anyone else could question my presence, Jacob Black strolled into the scene. Now his face was pure confusion. Typical reaction, of course. "Ok, I don't know who this new bloodsucker is, but I want an explanation," he said. Alrighty, then. "My name is Charlotte Cullen. I was born to two humans, but they died shortly after, in a car crash. Carlisle found me as a young child, and introduced me to the family. This, of course, was before Rosalie and Emmett joined the coven. Alice and Jasper agreed to adopt me as their own. When I turned fourteen, I realized that I could not stay here forever, while I was still human. I ran off and lived among nomads for many years. Eventually, I ran into a wandering vampire who changed me. I attained the ability to change into any animal that I please. At least, that's what I believe. I have no real recollection of my life after the Cullens, only what I could infer. When I regained my memory, I found myself tracking down the Cullens,, to eventually reintroduce myself," I explained to Rosalie, Emmett, and the wolf. "If you're a bloodsucker like the rest of 'em, why do you smell like a wolf?" asked Jacob. "My ability is changing forms. Into animals. Like you, Jacob," I retaliated. Glancing around, I saw that two very important vampires were not present. Edward and his newborn bride. Sensing my confusion, Jasper quietly walked up to me. Of course, he sensed my emotions. How could I forget that my adoptive father manipulated one's feelings. "Wondering about the newlyweds? Huh, they're out hunting. You'll meet 'em soon enough," he said with a tinge of a southern accent. Carlisle gently took my hand and said, "Come, let's catch up on the past few decades," as he led me into the living room.
Note: Yes, I know that Rosalie and Emmett joined the coven before Alice and Jasper. I changed it for this!
