Here is Chap. 2! I don't own Twilight or any of it's characters…sorry!! : ) Bon Apatite!!
I saw a slight figure step out from behind a tree.
"Hey Edward" the girl said hesitantly. She actually was only a girl. At about five feet Alice might have been taller than her. Her hair was dirty blonde and shoulder length with bangs, and she wore and 'I heart Oz' t-shirt and skinny jeans. The picture of any teenager, minus her unnatural beauty and the fact her eyes were gold. She was 14… 16 tops, and she was a vampire, and you didn't need Jasper's powers to know the anger radiating off Edward.
"What.Are.You.Doing.Here." Edward growled. It was more an accusation than a question. I grabbed his arm.
"Edward, relax! What is going on?" Who is this girl? Why is she making my calm, cool Edward furious?
"Edward, listen," the girl began, taking a step towards the house. Edward matched it. "I just need to talk to Carlisle. Or Alice. Either way I'll be gone soon so please don't rip me into shreds and burn them. Listen to your friend," she smiled at me, "Hi, I'm Libby."
"Bella," I answered, "Edward, let her by." I tried to sound forceful. It didn't work.
"Why?" Edward spat, "So she can ruin our lives… again?"
"Now Edward," Libby began, obviously nervous, "That's an exaggeration," Edward simply growled and I literally had to hold him back. "Alice," Libby managed to squeak. She took a deep breath and tried again, "Alice!" I heard the door open and Alice ran out, followed by the rest of the family. Alice, who was actually an inch a taller than Libby, walked right up to her and slapped her across the face.
"Elizabeth Judith Monroe Hale Cullen! Where were you!? If you ever disappear like that again I will kill you! Don't tempt me!" I was surprised by the rabid pixie… by Libby just took it. She nodded like a child being scolded, they smiled at Alice.
"Feel better?"
"Yes, yes I do." Answered Alice, and she locked Libby in a tight embrace. The family crowded around but Libby still looked uncomfortably at Edward. I was still holding him back.
"Uh, guys?" I said, it was hard to restrain Edward and speak, "I need an explanation and maybe a cage." Recognition came across everyone's face as Emmet and Jasper took Edward. The girls and Carlisle herded a sad looking Libby inside.
"You're letting her back in?" Edward was screaming, "No explanation? Just like that?"
"Of course we are, Edward," Emmet answered, "Libby's part of the family. Carlisle took you back. I knew you were mad, but seriously man, how long can angry last?" I felt waves of calm from Jasper, but Edward didn't seem to notice. He broke free of Emmet's grasp.
"I'm going hunting." Edward noticed my panic, "I'll be back." And with that he was off and running. I plopped onto the ground. Emmet and Jasper following my lead.
"What is going on?" I directed the question at either of them. Emmet began
"Libby came to us in the 60's."
"1969" Jasper interrupted.
"1969,' Emmet continued. "She was fourteen when she was found at peace rally with her head bashed. Ironic right? Anyway, Carlisle saved her and she became our little sister. She was a riot, too. Alice and Rose liked to smother makeup on her. Esme and Carlisle mothered her. Me and her used to just prank like crazy. And Jazz-"
"Whenever we would go out," Jasper began, "She would be next to me the whole time. She had trouble the first couple years, too. Well, she would just tell me horrible jokes the whole time to distract me. It worked, to." Jasper smiled fondly at the memory as Emmet continued.
"But she and Edward were closest. Neither of them were coupled, both were teenager, musicians, she played guitar Remember the song they wrote for me after the string cheese incident?"
"Yeah… What The Hell Was That?" Jasper began to sing, "The ceiling tiles were falling and Rose was loudly calling, but Emmet simply laughed there where he sat. What the hell was that?" They both laughed and Emmet began again.
"Libby was with us for about 30 years. Then one day we came home, the high school let out later than the middle school, and there was a note on the door, 'dear Cullens, Thanks for everything but I have to go, love Libby.' Edward was devastated, it hit all of us hard… but she was his best friend. I thought he had let it go. Heh… I guess not." I was shocked. Why hadn't Edward told me? I had to find him.
"Guys," I said, "I'm gonna go after him. We'll be back soon." And I was off.
