Edward's POV
Why did I save her? I asked myself as Emmett was driving us home. I had seen vampires kill humans before and I hadn't intervened. It wasn't the smartest thing to do. Everything had seemed so normal this morning when Emmett and I went for a hunt. Then we came across, a vampire scent and decided to follow it. Our family liked to know what vampires came near our territory. Then I saw her, she was so broken lying there under the vampire we set out to find. He was obviously one who liked to play with his food first. He had finished playing and was now feeding off of this broken creature. I didn't think I just reacted jumping forward pulling him off of her. He was as astonished as I was by challenging him. It would have been a close fight if Emmett hadn't jumped in to save his little brother. Once we took care of him, Emmett called Carlisle in case Alice hadn't seen what happened. He already knew and told us to bring her home.
Why in the hell did you do that Edward? Emmett's thoughts interrupted my own.
"I don't know I just reacted." I answered shrugging my shoulders.
"Well, looks like we have a new addition to the family. Rose is gonna kill you, she just started getting used to this place and now we will have to move again."
"I know I just hope she doesn't take it out on her. None of this is her fault."
"Look in her bag, we should know her name." I could tell Emmett wanted to change the suspect trying not to think what Rosalie's anger would do to their sex life. If I hadn't been so worried for the girl in the back seat I would have laughed. My hand slid into the back seat grabbing the bag Emmett had grabbed, his hand brushed against her bare knee and he felt a strange shock of electricity shoot through his body. I looked at her fully for the first time; she was so beautiful it took his breath away. She had beautiful long dark brown hair that cascaded in soft curls down past her shoulders. She had a soft heart shaped with wide eyes. They were closed right now, but he could see the thick dark lashes that would have framed them. She was absolutely perfect this girl I saved. I was snapped out of this trance by Emmett clearing his throat. I grabbed the bag and turned around in my seat. Emmett was looking at me hard while I opened the messenger bag and dug around for her wallet. I found it and pulled out her license. The first thing I looked for was her eye color, a beautiful deep chocolate brown. I would never truly see those beautiful, I would see them as red for a while and then, hopefully, gold. I then looked for her name
"Isabella Marie Swan" I said aloud to Emmett. Then I found myself looking further into her bag. I found a sketch pad and pulled it out. When I looked in it, I saw beautiful sketches of the place we had found her. That what she was doing out there by herself, I thought to myself. She was a very talented artist. I looked back at her again marveling her even more than before.
"You're in love with her aren't you." Emmett asked bewildered.
"Not sure, but I think so."
Emmett was silent as we pulled into our long driveway, "Don't tell anyone," I pleaded.
"Secret is safe with me."
Emmett parked and I picked up Isabella and brought her inside. The entire family was waiting for us. As soon as I was through the threshold Carlisle took her from my arms and carried her to the couch and checked to make sure she was alright.
"Will she survive this." asked Esme walking over to the couch. Carlisle nodded still checking things out. Esme carefully pulled her up and put Isabella's head in her lap and started to smooth her hair and whisper comfort to her. How I wished I could do that, but no one could know. Isabella didn't and if the family found out there would be no hiding it, the Cullens couldn't keep secrets from each other. I didn't want Alice to see anything, so I kept myself from thinking how I was going to act around Isabella when she woke that would be a dead giveaway to Alice.
"Why do you think, I can't read her thoughts?" I asked Carlisle trying to focus my thoughts on something else.
"I am not sure," he answered rising from the couch leaving Isabella in Esme's care, "The reason I always thought you could read minds, is because you were a very perceptive person in your human life. Perhaps it is because she is a person people had difficulty reading, she held her true thoughts back."
"I feel almost no emotion coming from her," said Jasper quietly, "Like her pain is muted, it's like she's trying to hide it or something. I've never felt anything like it."
"So, what exactly happened?" asked Carlisle. To my infinite pleasure Emmett answered.
"The vampire that was doing this was really sick. He broke over every bone in her body before he tried to feed off of her. I guess we were both pretty disgusted by this, so Edward and I intervened."
"Poor girl," I heard Esme whisper to Isabella. She was taking to Isabella very quickly, and then I realized everyone was. I felt the thoughts of my entire family hit me as I sought out what they were feeling for her.
Man I wish I had been with Edward and Emmett when this happened, sick sadistic creep to hurt her. Jasper thought.
I can't wait for her to wake up all the visions I have had so far, it will be great to have a best friend. Alice was having visions of her dragging Isabella around a mall and Isabella looked slightly annoyed but patient as Alice pushed her toward some shoes, her braiding Isabella hair, and watching a movie together. Then Alice had one of Isabella sketching her and Jasper curled up together on a couch. I saw the look in her eyes as she placed the lines on the paper the concentration and passion in her golden eyes almost took my breath away. I knew I loved her before, but now I saw how deep I would fall for her. My thoughts were interrupted by Rosalie's.
Well, I guess we will have to move again. I liked it here but I guess I could give up a little for my new little sister. If I was human I would've fainted. As much as I loved my sister I knew what a selfish person she could be. She was giving up her happiness for this girl and acting like it was no big deal, not even complaining to get some attention. What kind of power did this girl have that she could make my family behave like this? I looked over at Carlisle who had joined Esme on the couch looking down at this beautiful girl. They both adored their newfound daughter, they didn't love her more than any of their other children, but they instantly fell for her. Like I did, I was ecstatic that they all loved and accepted her so quickly. I didn't want anything to get in the way of her happiness here, I wanted to make her so happy. Emmett's thoughts entered my head.
I can't believe Edward finally fell for someone, although I can't blame him. There is something about this girl that makes me love her. Not like Edward loves her, but like a sister that I would love and protect with my life. There is definitely something about this girl, something I can't explain.
"Something special," I whispered to myself, so only I could here.
