I could feel the Cullens gaze on me, and I turned to face them slightly, skimming my gaze over them once, not missing the fact they seemed to have an extra person with them.
'This is Carlisle, Esme' he continued gesturing to my grandparents, 'Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella and Reid.'
He introduced, nodding to each of the couples. I allowed my gaze to rest on each of them, holding their curious, shocked eyes for a second before moving on.
I studied the new boy for a fraction of a second later. I snorted in my mind, amused.
Pssh clearly my new replacement. I noted my fathers frustrated gaze. Ahh yes, he couldn't read my mind.
Thankfully I'd inherited that one from my mother.
'And this Cullens, is one of our latest members Annalise.' Aro added. I spared a glare in his direction, he'd planned this all, that much was obvious.
I switched my gaze forward again, and nodded sharply once in greeting, resuming my blank façade, and stiff stance.
I vaguely wondered how long it would take to figure it out. I'd give a minute tops, I mean, their not that dumb. I'm a spitting image of my father, I have the same name they gave me, and Edward can't read my mind. Bingo.
Recognition started to dawn over my mothers face, along with the rest of them. Excluding the new boy of course.
'Lees?' My mother asked, her voice shaking. 'Don't call me that' I spat out, without thinking.
Lees was the nickname my family always used to call me, and I hadn't let anyone call me that in over eight years.
'You lost that right a long time ago.' I added in a harshness, that surprised even me. My mothers face crumbled up in pain, and my father wrapped a supporting arm around her. Pssh, idiots, look at them, a happy couple even without me.
'Ahh' drawled Aro in his annoying little voice, 'so your already acquainted.'
My father opened his mouth to speak, before I cut him off. 'Oh shut up Aro, you know we have.' He smirked in response and I elbowed him out of the way to get to the door. 'Annalees, please!' I heard my aunt Alice call out.
I didn't spare them another glance, but ran straight up to my room, before collapsing on my bed.
A million thought were running through my head, why were they doing this, more to the point why was Aro doing this!? Grrr I'm gonna kill him! I rolled over, screaming into my pillow, thumping my fists on my mattress. I heard a light knock and switched my glare to the door.
'Can I come in?' a quiet voice called. Heidi.
'Sure', I sighed. The door opened and she danced gracefully over to my bed, before perching on the end. 'We were quiet for two minutes or so, absorbed in our own thoughts. 'I'm sorry' she spoke softly 'you shouldn't of had to meet like this.'
I sighed loudly in response, 'well it was bound to happen at some point, right?'
'Yeah' she smiled down at me in response. 'You ok then?' She asked
'Yeah I'm cool, just a but shocked I guess' I muttered in response.
'Well your bound to be' she said rubbing my shoulder gently. ' I better be off anyway, get our guests settled in.'
I grimaced, 'See you' I called back absentmindedly as she walked back out of the room. 'Uh why me?' I grumbled rolling my eyes, before rolling off the side of the bed, landing on my feet.
I strolled over to my guitar. I wasn't ready to leave yet, that would properly end in meeting the Cullens, and I definitely wasn't ready.
I strummed a cord on my guitar, before launching into one of my latest songs, which I wrote a few weeks ago, called Nineteen Stars.
Don't tell me.
You're done for.
I don't need to hear.
You're done for.
You can tell me what you are running from.
I need you.
More than you need you.
I can see you're really really running.
Can I ask you where you gonna run to?
And you think you're re really really funny.
well I don't think your funny as you do.
We all feel like we're breaking sometime.
But I won't give you up tonight
[Chorus:]
Stay awake.
Stay awake survive.
I've got nineteen stars that I.
Gave your name.
Tonight.
I wanna scream.
Wanna scream your name.
Starlight.
My life can save.
You're my wish tonight.
Don't tell me.
It doesn't matter.
I'll tell you.
What matters.
Bare feet in the summer.
Open windows at night.
You think that no one needs you.
You have nothing to see through.
Well I need you.
I need you.
Don't count, let's fight?
Show me anger, fierce fist, clutching on to air, show me anything, just show me you care
[Chorus]No one can catch me.
The way that you catch me.
The way that you keep me when I'm out of time.
What if I need you?
When I can't see you?
And I'm running out of life.
Please...
[Chorus]
The last chord rang in the air as I set it down. I sat there for a while, aimlessly staring into space. After about five minutes I decided that was enough time wasting. I shouldn't be afraid to go out of my room! I thought to myself. It should be the other way around, yeah!
I stood up with a jerk, pleased with my new found epiphany. I smirked to myself before strolling over to the door, and yanking it open.
I bounced down the corridor, on my new high, which I'm pretty sure would only last around five more minutes before I came back down to earth.
I passed a door, before back tracking at the sound of familiar voices. Ahh the family. I smirked to myself, before casually leaning against the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.
'I just can't believe she's here' I heard the muffled voice of my mother. 'Nor can we love, nor can we.' Replied the strained voice of my father.
'What is she doing here, more to the point', murmured my uncle Jasper.
'Well, from what I can get from others heads, Aro found her in the orphanage, offered her a place here, and she accepted.' Answered my father.
'But why would she accept?' Answered a voice I couldn't place. Ahh must be the new boy, Reid wasn't it.
Good looking I mused, with shaggy white blonde hair, tall, well muscled and the usual pale skin with topaz eyes.
'Can you blame her', my grandfather, broke in, 'she would of grown up, with no one of our kind to talk to, or get help from, properly jumped at the chance to have contact with other vampires.'
Hmm almost dead on, I mused, he was good. 'I missed her so much' my mother choked out, before bursting into dry sobs.
I frowned, why the hell should she be upset? They left me not the other way around. It was silent apart from my mothers sniffling.
'ANNALISE, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE!' Carl yelled from the end of the coridoor, the room beside me was silent. Crap.
In less than a second I was at the end of the coridoor, my hand over Carls mouth before he had a chance to say anymore.
Too late. The door at the end of the hall, and the blonde vampire Reid, stuck his head out looking in our direction.
My eyes widened, and I dragged Carl away by the hand before anyone had a chance to say anything. I ran down the halls for a minute, taking random turns, till I spun into the library.
'Carl you twat! You ruined my eavesdropping!'
He smirked in response 'Dear dear Annalise, I would of expected better from you.'
'Oh shut up' I snapped back scowling, before slumping into a near by chair.
Carl sat opposite me, 'Sorry' he said softly. 'Nah it's alright' I sighed, 'you didn't mean to.' I replied.
'So that was them, then.' Carl stated quietly. I nodded, wordlessly.
