Caleb's POV
I wasn't paying attention to the baseball on TV. All I knew is that Yankees were up by two runs, and by the shouting coming from Damien the other team were going to catch up. I could see Damien grasping the coffee table as the pacific league team were running bases. He clamped harder on the oak as they got home. Little pieces of wood, flaked of the table from the pressure.
"what the hell do you think your playing at" a very angry voice called from the doorway. I looked up, Selene was stood their with her hands on her hips, looking absolutely scary. She had never looked more like a vampire in her life, than she does now.
Damien released the table from his grasp, before looking up to meet her glare. He smiled guiltily.
"don't you understand the meaning of Antique Damien" she scowled before tending the badly damaged table "look at this thing…do you understand the price I have to pay every time you do this" She ran her fingers over the huge hole in the table. Shaking her head side to side.
"I'm sorry Selene" he leant down and kissed her gently on the forehead.
"I don't blame you, I blame him" she glared at me with a disappointed look on her face. Why the hell was she blaming me? Oh that's right…her perfect little Damien couldn't do anything wrong so ---! I stopped my thinking, a smell so wonderful had crossed my nose…it smelt so pure…so new! It had to be a newborn. But there was no other presence, … he or she was alone and by the emotions I felt…scared, worried.
"can you smell that" I shouted at them both. It smelt so wonderful. They both tilted their head into the air and sniffed deeply, before gasping.
"Newborn"
"they're all alone… they have been left by their creator" I looked down feeling kind of guilty. I remember how I felt when I first woke from the transformation. I was so disorientated, if it wasn't for Aro or my little sis I would have just begged to die. I had a proper upbringing, that newborn wont.
"should we go greet them" I heard a gentle small voice from behind me. I turned to see her little, golden eyes on me. I cant believe someone so small could want to cause so much trouble. She walked over to me and sat on my knee.
"I think we should" she continued "that poor girl…all alone! She is scared Caleb…please I wont leave her. We were raised to be better people" she glared into my eyes. I couldn't go against my little sister, she was my only family left. I knew I had my coven, but they were not blood related like she. And I loved her more than anyone could love another.
"okay…but remember to stay behind me. I don't want you hurt" I stroked her cheek before getting to my feet. She opened her mouth to protest but nodded in agreement.
We all went outside in a line formation, One behind the other. There She was stood in the middle of the lane, her face was confused as she sniffed the air. Wow…she was beautiful. She had brown, tumbling curls, that hung to her waist, so small and delicate, nothing like a vampire. I approached her, taking it slow. She knew other vampires were around, but her face was so shocked as she saw us.
"hello, um…I'm Caleb Cromwell" I walked closer. She stared at me... Confused. I looked back toward Damien.
"Damien…can you get a reading on her" I thought in my mind. He looked at the girl then at me, shaking his head. That's so strange. I stood before her.
"and you are?" I stared back at the girl, awaiting her answer.
"Bella Swan" She said quietly, Her eyes flickered to mine, she tensed. Poor Bella! She must be so afraid. But as soon as her eyes met my sisters, Bella seemed to ease up.
She anxiously rubbed her palm over her left arm, feeling out of place. She looked at my family slowly, then stared at my sister once again.
"so your vegetarian" she continued to look at her. I didn't think she had any idea about vampires and their diets. Obviously we're under estimating her.
I looked down at Valerie's petite face, she looked stunned from Bella's question.
"uh…yes. How did you know that?" she asked confused, as was I.
"well…I had experiences with vampires when I was human. It didn't…" she stopped mid sentence, the pain on her face was agonizing, even to look at. She looked down at her feet. I couldn't help but reach out to stoke her cheek, she looked up and smiled gently. I couldn't believe I was going to leave her on her own.
"do you need somewhere to stay" I blurted out before even thinking about my family. Oh crap! I felt terrible...
"I'm sure your family doesn't want a newborn hanging around…apparently they're not very nice things" she laughed gently. I never heard a laugh so lovely in my life. I looked back toward my family, all their faces lit up, their emotions overjoyed.
"believe me…they don't mind!" I took her arm and led her into the house…
3 weeks later… Bella's POV
The questions were coming from all angels. They surrounded me. I couldn't help but smile at the too eager faces. Even the kindest of vampires were never this nice. It was the strangest thing ever, and i thought the Cullen's were nice.
Caleb stroked my hand gently and smiled.
"Bella…I don't want to rush you, but are you ready to tell us?" he smiled…aw such a striking smile, it could have burned me to ashes where I sat. I wanted to tell them, they're my family. I owe them this much. after them risking everything, to take me in.
"it's a little painful for me" I didn't know where to start. I couldn't possible break into the Cullen story without feeling the hurt. There was silence. They sat their patiently awaiting my story.
"Bella if you ---"
"no Caleb…I have to do this. I have to move on" I shouted. I felt bad…raising my voice at him, but He understood me and so did my lovely family. Its rare to find someone, like this. I breathed in to calm myself, before telling them.
"well I moved to forks last year. I never thought I would get used to such a change…but when I was there I met a guy um… Edward" I choked on his name and held my chest as the pain shot through me. They all looked at me pained.
"keep it together Bella - Keep it together" I told myself over and over. I looked at my family I needed to keep it together for them. I couldn't bare hurting them too.
Calebs POV
She looked so pained as she held her chest, it was if she was holding herself together. It hurt me so much to watch her in pain. In just 3 weeks she has became a large part of this family and I loved her too much to let her be in pain. Feeling the emotions in the room grow, they felt the same …it was hard to deal with.
"he was a vampire…we loved each other so much. He promised me he loved me and would never ever leave me. His whole family promised. We had been through so much together" she screamed. Her head fell to her hands, broken sobs escaping her chest. I put my arm around her and kissed the top of her head. I rocked her gently in my arms.
"you can do it Bella" I whispered into her ear. She pulled away from my chest, still holding herself together, she let out a loud sigh, before continuing.
"I watched them play baseball one afternoon, when I was hunted my a sadistic vampire, James and his mate. Alice and Jasper ran me south to escape him, He caught up with me in the end. That's when he tortured me and finally bit me. Luckily Edward and his family showed up, they saved me and killed James" she looked up at me. Her face was broken, I pressed a kiss on her cheek…she shuddered gently!
"not a good idea Caleb…she is in pain you stupid fool" I thought.
"everything was going great between me and Edward… I thought everything was going to be fine, until it was my 18th birthday! I gave myself a paper cut when I was around his family and his brother attacked me. He was so angry with Jasper and I felt guilty! I thought everything was okay between us both, after I had forgiven him. Then he told me" she stopped for a second, to compose her thoughts and then continued"he told me he didn't love me no more…that I wasn't good enough for him…he left me in the forest, alone. I tried to follow him but I fell, I was quite clumsy as a human. But I didn't have the will to move, I stayed there for hours on the floor. He didn't care." she sat there silently before she leaned back into my chest, sobbing again. I ran my fingers through her soft ringlets. The emotions in the room were overwhelming, I felt sadder than ever, I had to try to and control her emotions. Her sobs soon passed without influencing her.
"I went to our meadow…where He took me when we first met! Laurent and Victoria found me. Victoria was still grieving James. She wanted me to feel how she did when she lost him. So she changed me…then left me abandoned in a shed" she pulled herself closer to me, as she sobbed gently. How could someone who loved her so much do this to her. I would never do that to Bella, if I had the chance to love her. I want to know who the hell this coven was… because if I found them. I will kill them…
