Emmett's POV
I ran into the forest with Esme and Carlisle at my side. Carlisle took us to a clearing full of deers. Carlisle stopped and turned to me.
"Okay, Emmett. We hunt Animals to quench our thirsts" He began. I looked at him confused.
"Why not humans? Isn't that the Vampire way of life?" I asked him, intrigued. Esme smiled gently and took my hand in hers.
"We feel that Humans are more than just food, Emmett. We feel as if they are people and they deserve to live" she explained, gently. I nodded, agreeing with them.
"I understand" I said, happy seeing Esme and Carlisle smile. Carlisle instructed me how to hunt and I took down 5 deers at once. They waited for me and smiled as I finished.
"You did well, for your first try" Carlisle congratulated me. I smiled and I felt proud of myself. Esme smiled and looked at me.
"Emmett, Carlisle and I were wondering; do you want to stay with us? You can be a part of our family, if you wish" she offered. I looked at her in shock and then I grinned.
"I would love too. Thank you!" I exclaimed. They smiled and hugged me. I hugged them back, carefully; I didn't want to hurt them with my Human strength. Esme had a grin on her face about a mile wide. We raced back to the house, feeling fun, happy and accepted. Before we walked into the living room, Carlisle handed me a wristband with the Cullen Crest on, which I put on my wrist, gratefully.
We walked into the living room and saw Edward and Rosalie locked in a confrontation. Rosalie moved away from Edward, like he'd struck her. (Oh he'd better not have struck her!)
"Rosalie, Edward? What's going on?" Esme asked, taking charge of the situation. Edward didn't answer her; he just continued to glare at Rosalie. She turned to look at me, her eyes full of pain.
"I'm sorry" she whispered and she fled the room. I stood there, amazed before looking at Edward, who was pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Edward. What happened?" Carlisle asked, keeping his voice controlled. I wanted to go after Rosalie as soon as I heard sobs coming from her room. I looked towards Esme, and she nodded to me, encouraging me to follow her. I ran up the stairs and made my way to Rosalie's room. I hesitantly knocked on the door and waited for Rosalie to let me in.
"Come in, Emmett" she whispered. I walked in and I found her sitting on the couch, curled up in a ball and sobbing her heart out. I walked over and sat next to her, placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Rosalie? What did he say to you?" I asked her, my heart aching at seeing her so broken. She didn't answer me, she just kept crying. "Rosalie, please stop crying. My heart can't take it" I was begging her now, I hated seeing her, this upset.
"H-He Said that I was selfish for asking Carlisle to change you into a Vampire" she said, between her sobs.
"Why are you selfish? If you hadn't carried me to Carlisle, I wouldn't be alive" I said, "You don't know how grateful I am to you, for saving me" she shrugged away from my hand on her shoulder.
"But it is selfish, Emmett. I hate being what I am, I hate being a vampire and I've just damned you to a life as one just because you look like someone I remember as a Human" She confessed, sitting up and looking at me. I looked at her shocked.
"So why did you ask Carlisle to change me, if you hate this life?" I asked her, confused.
"I saw the bear hurting you, and I saw your grimace and the pain on your face. You reminded me of Henry, Vera's child, and I didn't want you to dieā¦" She explained. I nodded, understanding.
"So that's why you called me Henry?" I asked, and she nodded.
"With your hair and your dimples, you look like an older version of him" she whispered. I nodded, understandingly. She turned to look at me and she smiled slightly.
"But I don't regret getting Carlisle to save you. I didn't want you to die; you didn't deserve to die that way, if at all." She said. I smiled and moved towards her to hug her.
"Thank you for saving me, Rose" I whispered into her ear before leaving the room. I went downstairs and saw Esme sketching on a piece of paper.
"Emmett is Rosalie alright?" she asked me. I nodded, sitting next to her.
"Yeah, I think she'll be okay" I answered; she smiled at me and glanced down at her drawing. "Esme, I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here with you" she smiled and took my hand in hers.
"Emmett, it's completely fine. I'm excited at having a new son" she beamed. I chuckled and hugged her. I was happy to have a family again, since I lost mine. I hope Mother and my Sister is okay, and my brothers, I knew I could never see them again and it kind of hurts. Edward came down and stood in front of me.
"Emmett, May I have a word?" he asked me. I nodded and followed him up to his room.
"I like your room, it's very open" I complimented. He smiled for a minute before turning serious.
"Emmett, I feel as if we got off on the wrong foot. I want you to know that I wasn't against you being saved, I am glad you've been saved; I just wasn't pleased that Rosalie wanted it to happen, because of her feelings towards being a Vampire. I'm glad Carlisle saved you, I'm glad that Rosalie carried you to us, I'm glad to be getting a brother, I'm glad Rosalie brought you to us, I am thankful to her" He explained. I smiled at him. I was glad that he had accepted me now.
"It's cool Edward, Thanks for explaining this, it means a lot." I said, he smiled and nodded.
"I caught you thinking about your human family, and I might be able to help you" he said, going into his drawers and tossing me a sack full of money. "Leave this on your family's doorstep, it should help them"
I looked through the contents, there was so much money, I took a deep breath and looked at him.
"Thank you Edward, this is amazing" I breathed. He smiled at me and clapped me on the shoulder.
"No problem, Brother" he said, and he walked out. I smiled and leapt out of the window and raced towards my house. I heard Carlisle shadowing me, for protection, I realised. I moved towards the house and placed the bag down. With one last look at my house, I nodded and turned away. It was time to let go of my Human past.
I was ready to embrace my new life.
