Chapter 2: They meet

Ivy grabbed her suitcase and backpack and dragged them down the stairs of the house she had grown up in before making her way to the taxi that was waiting

"Are you sure you have everything?" Lily asked Ivy gently seeming every bit the caring mother, Ivy scoffed Lily would never be her mother, visiting an hour on her birthday and Christmas did not make them family

"Yes I'm sure" she said hauling the bags into the taxi's boot, Lily scowled the brat sure had an attitude but soon she would be out of the family's hair and in America no chance of her sweet William crossing paths with her while he was working as an Auror after all his last year was starting soon and then he would be in training

"Now your father couldn't make it to say good-bye. He has work" Lily said, Ivy just nodded keeping her face passive as she felt her heart twinge she scowled inwardly it shouldn't hurt after all it had been seven years since she had seen him

"I know the drill, I know where I am going trust me we both know you don't want to be here so just go" Ivy hissed stomping over to the taxi's open door and got in smoothly, a minute later the taxi pulled away heading towards the airport. Ivy stared out of the window as she moved further away from the house she had been raised in, the house Caitlyn had looked after her in, the house with her few happy memories in, the house with her bad memories too. She thought back on the woman who had raised her until she was 9 and smiled she was the perfect mother figure everything Lily was even if she was getting paid, it was a shame she had fallen ill and been unable to continue. She thought back on Saffron, the elf that had been assigned to her until she was 14 and able to fend for herself the elf was kind if a little grumpy and overprotective. Her memories kept her occupied as she made her way through check in for her flight and waited for boarding. Thankfully she did not have long to wait by the time she had managed to get some food and eat it.

oOo

Emmett looked up at the hospital and steeled himself for the stench of blood he wanted to speak to Carlisle as Alice had suggested, that and avoid his siblings they were being overly in love at the moment, he scowled at the thought why did he have to be the only one in the family who hadn't found his mate yet, don't get him wrong he was eternally grateful Rosalie and Edward had begged Carlisle to turn him being a vampire could be fun, when school wasn't involved, but he did wish that he had someone to share his life with. Shaking his head he moved into the hospital and caught the most intriguing scent , forgetting all about speaking to Carlisle he followed his nose, I did not take him to find the owner of the scent: a young woman working in the café, she smiled softly as she served the customers and Emmet couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty, she wasn't like Esme, Alice or Rosalie who looked beautiful all the time with their hair perfect and outfits stylish no she had her hair drawn up in a hast ponytail, it curled messily, she wore no make-up but her pale skin was flawless her red lips stood out in contrast. She wore worn black jeans and a black shirt with the first 5 buttons undone, a green strappy top underneath the shirt could be seen. Emmett was staring at the young woman when her eyes shot up and connected with his, he could not pull his eyes away and simply stared into her glittering emerald eyes

"Emmett" Carlisle said appearing next to his oldest looking son, startling the vampire into pulling his gaze away from the woman's

"Carlisle" Emmett replied seeming confused

"Did you want to speak to me about something" he asked gently, he had noticed his son's presence in the hospital and had assumed he would find him but when he did not he had worried and gone searching for him instead. Emmett just stared at him blankly "Come on we should head home before Esme starts worrying"

Emmett moved to follow his adoptive father but his eyes moved back to the woman, who now had her back to him, momentarily. The entire way home Carlisle kept glancing at Emmett unsure of his current behaviour

"Emmett is anything bothering you?" he prompted, Emmett smiled his goofy smile

"No I'm brilliant" he cheered as he ran into the house followed by Carlisle

"Emmett I'm so happy for you" Alice squealed dancing around the room with the happy vampire, Jasper just looked at his wife and brother in confusion while Edward smiled at the two

"What is going on?" snapped Rosalie looking at Carlisle who was looking just as lost

"Emmett found his mate" Edward told his wife softly

Esme shot into the room as Rosalie looked at her brother trying to decide if she was happy of not after all there were no other vampires in Forks and a human might not be so accepting of them and they would have to move again and Emmett would be distraught

"You found your mate?" Esme asked excitedly, Emmett just nodded and pulled her into the dance as Alice pulled Jasper in as well; Carlisle laughed at his family's antics and waited for them to die down before he spoke again

"You met her at the hospital?" he asked

"Uh huh she works in the café her name is Ivy" Emmett replied smiling remembering the nametag she had worn

"Did you speak to her?" Esme asked

"No, not yet" he replied "I was too surprised"

"She's adorable" Alice cheered as she thought back to the vision of Emmett meeting the black haired beauty
