"It's going to be ok. My family is really nice. I'm sure they will like you." The man told me gently. A thought then occurred to me, how did he know my name and where to find me?
"How do you know my name? How did you find me?" I asked quietly, but still curious to know the answer.
"I heard you scream then saw someone run out of your house. I'm a doctor and so I thought I could help you."
"okay." I said sleepily as we finally approached the steps leading to the house.
"Are you ready to meet my family?" He asked gently as he carried me towards the house.
"Y…yes." I stuttered nervously as he opened the front door.
"Alright. Esme. Rose. Emmett. Jazz. Alice. Edward. We have a guest." He said quietly.
I cowered back into his chest as he held me tightly; awaiting the arrival of the people he called. I was thinking back to my daddy, always held me when I was scared. My mommy always said comforting words in her sweet soft voice. I missed them greatly!
"Carlisle what?" a pretty lady with caramel hair said before abruptly stopping when she caught sight of me.
Just then I saw a massive shape coming down the steps towards me and the man named Carlisle.
"Ahhhhh!" I shrieked in fright!
"What's wrong dear?" the woman asked me quickly.
"It's a bear! Ahhh a bear! Help he's going to eat me! Don't let him get me Carlisle!" I screamed in fright, pointing at the humongous shape that was now rolling on the floor laughing.
"Sweetie that's just my son Emmett" the lady said quickly while trying to help the laughing boy off the ground.
I looked around me to see that lots of people had gathered around the entryway to see who was here. I saw that all eyes were on me. I saw so many different people that it made my little brain hurt! I saw a breathtakingly beautiful lady, who had long blonde hair was staring at me with loving eyes. Then I noticed the bear I screamed at before was standing with her. A small little girl with short black hair and was very thin, she reminded me of the pixies in my fairy books. Then I saw her with a tall blonde boy. Finally I caught sight of a bronze haired boy who looked like he was calculating something.
I looked around me and felt the familiar blush creep up my neck and spread on my face as I became aware that no one had said anything and they were just staring at me. I looked up at the man holding me and saw that he was looking curiously at his family.
"You are very pretty." I stated honestly as I looked at the pretty blonde who looked at me so lovingly, and I swear she grinned from ear to ear at that comment.
Everyone seemed to thaw out then and I noticed that the bronze haired boy came closer to me.
"Hello Isabella. I'm Edward." He said pleasantly, but my face heated up with anger. I hated my name!
"My name is Bella." I said firmly which startled him. Someone behind us started to laugh again and I realized it was Emmett.
"I'm s..Sorry Bella." Edward said in a taken aback voice.
"That's alright. Emmett please stop laughing at me it isn't nice." I said sweetly.
I turned in Carlisle's arms to see that his jaw had dropped and everyone around us was staring at me in shock and awe. I waited for someone to say something, but then it got uncomfortable and so I decided to finally talk again.
"What did I say wrong?" I asked in a wondering tone.
"Nn nothing. How did you know Emmett was laughing at you?" Carlisle answered.
"I remembered hearing it earlier when he laughed about me calling him a bear." I said with a shrug.
"Rose we get to have a little play doll to take shopping!" The pixie girl said, bouncing towards me with excitement.
I noticed the boy behind the pixie began to get excited to. He must know what people feel because he reacted to my fright too. Then I looked at the bronze haired boy and knew he could read minds, just not mine. I realized that when he answered a question Carlisle didn't say.
"Carlisle who is everyone? I know Emmett and you. Who's the pretty blonde lady? Who is the pixie? And the emotion feeler and the mind reader?" I asked in a rush, but started to blush when I realized I had voiced my theories to soon. Everyone looked at me, incredulously. Uh oh!
"What?! Why would you think that?" Carlisle spluttered as he looked at me, still in his arms.
"Tell me the names and I'll tell you what I think." I compromised.
"Rosalie is the blonde haired girl. Alice is the pixie. Edward is the mind reader and Jasper is the emotion feeler, as you put it." Carlisle stated, while the others just stared intently at me, in their shock."
"What no jokes Emmett?" I teased even though I didn't get a reply.
"Ok everyone to the dinning room table for a family meeting." Carlisle said as he carried me to the dinning room.
Everyone took their seats, me on Rosalie's lap. I played absently with her long blonde hair as she watched me, smiling happily.
"Now for your theories." Carlisle said calmly as everyone turned to look at me. Uh oh! I was in trouble now, I thought as I felt a blush spread on my face. I looked up and met their staring gazes, but looked quickly down and began my story.
