Chapter 4
Edward POV
I just couldn't get it out of my head. She right next to Bella's house. If Alice hadn't picked her up earlier Bella could have died. It surprised me that the girl didn't put a fight. She didn't even look frightened. Jasper on the other hand did. He kept on eyeing the girl and the girl just smiled back.
Oh look at him glaring daggers at me. I looked at the girl sharply. Why was she so happy about Jasper glaring at her? Jasper was translating Hamlet into Chinese so I couldn't see his thoughts. Emmett was thinking about beating another level on his newest game on Xbox 360. Carlisle was think of how to change the girl's diet without killing her. Within five minutes we were in front of our house. We walked into the spacious living room. The girl broke Emmett's grip and sat down on the white couch. Jasper sat in the chair across from her. Carlisle stood in front of her and I stood by him. Esme and Rosalie slide into the room quietly.
"So. Lovely weather were having." The girl said, gesturing out the window. As she said this a lighting flashed outside and thunder soon followed. No one said anything, though Emmett smiled.
"So did y'all still me from my hunt just so you can kidnap me and keep me in silence?" her voice had a hard edge to it.
Carlisle sighed and said, " We would appreciate it if refrained from hunting in this area."
"Oh well that changes everything.", her tone was sarcastic, " May I ask why you have a house? I thought vampires were suppose to live in caves or something."
This remark surprised us. She didn't even know the basic things about being a vampire? Well besides drinking blood.
"What happen to the vampire that changed you?" Rosalie asked, " He should have told you everything."
A smile lit up her face. " Oh do you really want to know that?"
We nodded, except Jasper, his eyes had turned black while she talked.
"Well do you want to tell them or should I?" she directed the question at Jasper.
I wonder if he'll be a big boy and tell them. I really don't feel like telling my story. Her sudden bitterness startled me. It started to dawn on me.
"I'll tell them." Jasper's voice was rough. Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, and Emmett turned to him. I continued to stare at the girl. Deep circles were clear under her eyes. She was hungry and I doubt she would wait much longer.
"I bite her. I was hunting and she fell and scraped her hand. It was bleeding and it smelled so good. Then I heard Edward coming, I didn't get to finish her off, so I just covered her body. I forgot about the venom and how it would change her. I left her in the forest. I didn't want to disappoint all of you. I'm so sorry."
Esme and Rosalie looked shocked. Carlisle looked understanding and Emmett just blinked. I myself was shocked that I didn't hear his thoughts sooner.
" How long ago was it Jasper?" asked Carlisle.
Jasper shrugged his shoulders. Suddenly the girl wasn't smiling anymore.
" You don't remember?" her face was livid. " I count every God damn day I was stuck in a thirteen year olds body and you don't even have the decency to remember the life you took from me." she all, but yelled. She lunged across the room and tackled Jasper to the floor. Growls and snarls ripped through the air. Emmett tried to grab her again, but she was stronger. It took both Emmett and I to hold her. Jasper was still in a crouch and the girl thrashed wildly in our grip trying to get to him. Suddenly a wave of calm and peace hit me and the girl stopped struggling.
" You'll also going to have to stop attacking my family." Carlisle's voice was cold, but polite.
"Fine." She said insolently.
Esme, who was quite this whole entire time spoke up. " What's your name ,dear. In all the excitement we forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Esme."
"Carlisle."
"Rosalie." Said Rose quietly.
" Emmett the Great." laughed Emmett. The girl's lips pulled up a little in the corners when she heard this.
" Edward." I said, still holing her.
"Jasper." He pulled up from his defense and leaned against the far wall. His shirt was ripped down the front.
"And your name?" asked Esme.
The girl hesitated for a moment, " Ashley Smith."
A/N: That seems like a good place to leave off. Oh and italics means thoughts, if you didn't figure that out. The reason the girl is stronger then Emmett is because she's still considered a new-born. So reviews are welcomed. Flames keep me warm in my cold basement.
