Chapter 2:

Unexpected Company

It took a mater of maybe 3 minutes to get to their house.

Their house was rather lovely and it was bright. I liked that it made me feel like I was at home again in London.

As I thought to myself I started day dreaming and then of course my dream was interrupted.

"Selena is your name right?,"Carlisle asked.

"Yes, thats right and sorry to sound rude but may I ask what all of your names are?," I asked looking at my shoes.

"Oh of course, I'm sorry, I'm Carlisle and this is my lovely wife Esme along with Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett, and last but certainly not least Edward and Bella, oh and we can't forget their dear child Renesmee."

It can't be no no no that can't be an immortal child, can it? No, certainly not. These people seem to smart to do that to themselves, but thats not my problem, I will just go along with my business while I'm here.

Wait is that a heart beat I here? Yes, wait no it sounds like a humming birds heart beat. What is that? It can't be the child can it? I thought she was a vampire though....

Then Edward answered my question like he could read minds "Yes, Selena that is a heart beat you hear and it is indeed from Renesmee. She was conceived from Bella when she was still human and I was a vampire. Renesmee is rather special" -he paused for a moment to look at Renesmee and touch her cheek- "She's half human and half vampire, she grows quite rapidly and she is very intelligent but no she is not an immortal child if you were wondering.

Then he smiled his crooked smile at me and I shied away to look at the floor.

Carlisle cleared his throat to get everyones attention I guess and then he went on with our conversation.

"So why did you come to our humble lands Selena? "

I wasn't sure If I was quite comfortable talking about this but I answered him anyways " I feel like a monster. I did not choose this life style and I feel like a murderer. I hate having to kill an innocent human, if I could choose otherwise I would."

"Well then Selena you have come to the right place--"

"-What wait what do you mean I have came to the right place? " I asked with a snobbish tone to my voice.

"Well we do not hunt humans"-he paused to look at everyone in the room- "we hunt animals."

I just sat there with a puzzled look on my face wondering how I didn't ever think of that.

Am I stupid or what? Yes, I am stupid.

"If I'm bothering you please tell me and I will leave."

"No of course not, we love having company and you seem like a very sweet lady."Carlisle added in with a smile that would make any regular girl faint.

At least I know he likes me, I think. I wonder If Carlisle will let me stay here a few days at the most? Oh, if only I belonged to this coven.

"Carlisle? " I asked with a little bit of a nervous ring to my voice.

"Yes Selena? "

"Can I call my coven to let them know I am ok? " I asked sheepishly.

"Well of course, the phone is right over there." He gestured his hand to the right of me.

I walked to the phone and dialed quickly. I hoped this phone call wouldn't last long. All I want to do is let them know I am ok and to not expect me to be coming home any time soon. Yes, that's what I will tell them. The phone rang once and then Artimee, the coven leader answered.

"Hello" was all he said which was not in character for him. I could tell he was worried about me. Great.

"Hello Artimee, It's me Selena." was all I could or even wanted to say to him.

"Selena! Please tell me you are ok. Are you coming home?"

"Yes I am fine but I am sorry to tell you Artimee, but I will not be coming home any time soon." Yep, I've done it now.

"Why Selena, why must you do this to us?" was all he could choke out.

"I am doing this because it's best for every one. I am sick of being a monster so I will not be home for a long while." and then I hung up.

"Thank You Carlisle, for everything."

"Your welcome." was all he said and I took that time to walk away.
