CHAPTER 2 NEW FAMILY

Alice didn't stop talking about the Cullens since she had her vision. Even on the flight she kept on talking, the passengers were annoyed by her constant murmuring but she still wouldn't stop. Then she continued to speak with her constantly moving lips in a voice that was audible only to me.

We reached Forks in the morning.

And it was raining. A good sign for us. Forks is a beautiful town with everything covered in moist green moss and ferns. Wild vegetation covered most of the region. Alice had already arranged a car and was driving without a map as usual. We drove into the driveway of the Cullen mansion.

Alice was about to enter the house when I stopped her and reminded her of the manners, 'At least ring the bell. ' That's when I realized how stupid my sentence was. They would already have got our scent and would be aware of us, expecting someone. Alice grinned at me then I ringed the bell. A tall, pale blond vampire opened the door, whom I assumed to be . Before anyone could say anything, Alice spoke swiftly, 'I like Rosalie's room. Can I have it? It has the best view.'

Me and the other vampires stared at her unbelievingly; Carlisle replied, confused,' Excuse me!'

'Actually I saw …..' I stopped Alice before she could complete….

'Alice let me do this!'

I explained Carlisle about Alice's ability and what she saw in Alaska. I also explained him the reason for us to move to Forks.

"And we both are 'VEGETARIANS', we can't bear ourselves to be called as 'monsters'. We prefer animal blood upon human blood, just like you." I could see the onyx shade in his eyes full of contentment and sincerity for both of us.

And then a beautiful velvet voice caught my attention,' Welcome to the family! I am grateful to God to give to more daughters.'

That's when I realized a beautiful dark haired lady with a heart shaped face, which Carlisle addressed as Esme,'Meet my wife, Esme!'

I smiled at her and when I was about to speak Alice shrieked,' Where is Jasper?'

Chapter 3: The New Home

Both Dr. Carlisle and Esme shot confused glances in my direction. Alice was so excited that she was almost jumping with restlessness. I started explaining, "Ah...Well Alice saw that Jasper and she will be together and…" I saw Alice's eyes going blank again and she was lost. She regained her conscious just after a second. She said in a subdued sad voice, "They are on their way back home. They will be here by tomorrow morning." She continued, "Carlisle pick up the phone, he is going to call you now to tell you that the flight is delayed."Just then a silent vibration irritated my ears and Carlisle picked up his phone, "Hello!" The voice replied something and then Carlisle replied, "Yes Jasper I know. Don't be surprised if u smell some new scents around our house tomorrow morning, we have new family members" he smiled at Alice and me. "Yes, Bye!" He placed the phone back in his pocket.
His eyes were glowing with curiosity. He gently asked, "So how you entered this world?" Before anyone could reply Esme said in a gentle, but a stern tone, "Carlisle, you have enough time for all your questions and your curiosity can wait. First we need to show the girls the house and their rooms." Carlisle said in an apologetic tone,"Oh! Sorry!" Esme looked in our direction and asked, "Alice you can have Rose's room, she will understand it." Alice made a face and said,"She won't understand but I'll manage her. "Then Esme asked me, "Bella, what room would you like? I can show you all the rooms. Then it is all your choice." I thanked her.
After sometime Alice was in Rosalie's room with her luggage and she had neatly shifted Rosalie's entire wardrobe and her accessories to the new room. Alice loved her room. It really had the best view.
Esme helped me in choosing a room for me. It was on the first landing of the house on the western end. She helped me in arranging my luggage in the room and soon left me to myself. I could hear the river close by. Its sound was very soothing and pleasing. Most of the view was covered by the forest trees and the endless sky. I liked my room. It was peaceful n quiet, the way I liked it. I sat on the black leather couch staring at the horizon and the light was fading. The dark was creeping in slowly. I was lost in my thoughts about me being what I am. Sometime later I heard Alice's footsteps coming towards my room. She entered the room and said, "Bella, I talked to Carlisle and Esme and they told me that they have been in Forks since 3 years, and we can join Forks High School with Jasper and Rosalie as their second cousins from can start from tomorrow itself." I nodded and continued looking towards the horizon lost in my thoughts….
