She looked back and forth from her coven leader to me before deciding on who deserved her rage.
"Carlisle! How could you let that monster into our house! He's fucking covered in scars! How many fights had he been in! Don't you care about your family's safety! About Esme's safety!" Nothing she said was a question she thought she already knew the answer.
"Rose-"
"Don't 'Rose' me! I refuse to live here any longer If you're going to let just any old monster into our house and destroy everything!" She glared at me one last time, and I felt the rage and mistrust rolling off her in waves, before she stormed back out the front door.
We watched in silence as she threw her bags back in her car and drove wildly away. I felt guilt and shame, too emotions I was too familiar with, emanating from the coven leader and his mate.
"Rosalie is just wary of strangers. She's really very nice under her tough exterior." Esme said quietly, almost as if she was trying to convince herself that it was true.
We sat in an uncomfortable silence before Carlisle spoke again, "Our family will have to decide together whether we think you should stay or not. We'll have to get to know you in order to decide that matter. There are several spare rooms upstairs if you'd like to choose one of them."
"I already know the perfect room for us, and I know Edward will forgive us for moving his stuff." Alice said as she stood up and dragged me up the stairs behind her. She turned right at the top of the stairs and headed for the last room on the left. Opening the door, we were greeted by floor to ceiling windows that faced snow covered mountains. "This room has the best view, doesn't it?" She said, not really asking, as she started packing his things up.
"Are you sure it's going to be alright when he comes back and his stuff is gone and we're in his room?" I could only imagine how far his mental abilities went. We didn't know much about him, he could be able to get inside our heads.
She whirled around to face me giving me the 'how many times do I have to tell you' look. "I've already seen how this is going to play out. He comes home, he's mad, but he gets over it because I'm so adorable." Then she resumed packing, shaking her head.
The next few days were uneventful. Rosalie stayed away, and the house was fairly quiet. I'd already learned several things about this strange coven, or should I say family? They weren't a traditional coven; Carlisle seemed to care about the rest of his 'family's' opinions. He wouldn't have lasted one second with Maria. What she said was law, no matter how much you disagreed with it. Second, Carlisle was a doctor, I wasn't sure what kind but it didn't matter. He was around humans all day, bleeding humans. The smell didn't affect him like it did other vampires, like it did me.
But the quiet didn't last long on the third morning we'd been there Edward and Emmett came back from their hunting trip.
