Chapter 4
She was alone for another 40 years meeting a nomad named James he left too. One day she ran to Washington State. She came across a familiar sent and she followed it.
She followed it to a house where it was the strongest. A pixie like female met her. "I know why your here." the female said. "You mind telling me?" Winter asked. "What is your name nomad?" The small girl asked. "Winter. You?" "My name is Alice Cullen." the female said. "So you mind telling me why I'm here. Because I don't really know." Winter said. "Now try to stay calm." Alice said. Winter nodded. "You're here because you crossed Jasper's sent." Winter stiffened as she recognized the name.
"My husband is still alive?" Winter asked. "Husband?" Alice exclaimed. "Jasper Whitlock is my husband." They both herd tires on gravel. "Stay here." Alice said. The car stopped and she said something to two different people and then came back to Winter. "Come inside."
Winter followed Alice into the house and into the living room. There was three men and three women. "Hello my name is Winter." "Hello I'm Edward. This is Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie and you know Alice." Winter nodded. "My what strange eyes you all have. And you fidget. Why?"
"We hunt animals and associate with humans." Explained Carlisle. "Okay that's all fine and dandy. But where is my husband?" Jasper walked into the room. "I'm right here." Winter flitted to his side. "Oh my darling. How I have missed you. I thought you had died. I was about to avenge you." She looked into his eyes. "Why are your eyes different? How long have you been here?" She asked. "I've been here for about fifty years. I'm sorry I left you. But you were sad and depressed."
Winter glared up at him. "That's because my daughter died not even an hour before!"
She felt calmer. "You were always worrying about Prudence or your father. I needed a change and Alice gave me that change." Winter looked up at him quizzically. "What are you trying to say?"
Edward cleared his throat. Winter glared at him. "What?" Edward waved her over to him. She shook her head. "No I was away from my husband for too long." "Please come here." Edward said again. Alice started walking towards them. Winter put her hand out and Alice could move no further.
"To your hands? I thought it was just your mind." Said Jasper
"Nope," she smiled, "I practiced." the others looked on confused except for Edward and Alice. "She's telekinetic." Edward answered someone's thoughts. "Mind reader?" Edward nodded smiling. "Now please come here so we can explain."
Winter dropped her hand and walked over to where Edward was. Alice walked to Jasper and Edward put his hands on the tops of her arms. Alice kissed Jasper's cheek. Alice was pushed back against the wall. Everyone looked at winter, her eyes squinted her hands at her sides clenched into fists. Edward still had hold of her.
"Stay away from him." Winter spat at Alice. "Alice how could you make such a reckless decision?" Esme asked. Alice couldn't move or speak. Her body still pressed against the wall, her airways blocked. "Winter! Stop." Jasper said sharply. "Jasper where married! You let her kiss you! What is the problem there!" she snapped. "Winter please let Alice go." Something clicked in Winter's head and Edward cussed.
Edward tried to restrain Winter but it didn't work. Winter lunged herself at Jasper.
"Why! Is she prettier than me? Is it because you didn't have to change her? Is it because I was depressed? Why?" She shrieked. "Winter..." Alice started. "Shut up."
"Winter. Please" Jasper pleaded. Winter froze. Edward pulled her off of him.
"Come with me." He whispered. Winter went along with Edward. He brought her upstairs to his room.
"I know what your thinking. Literally. Alice and Jasper, prepare your self for this, they are married too."
The air in Winter's throat hitched and she started to tearlessly cry.
Edward held her as she cried. "You look hungry." He commented. "Just a little bit."
"Come hunting with me in our style. Just try it." She nodded.
"I'll try it but I doubt I'll like it."
"You won't. I promise you that but at least this color eyes are more attractive than that color."
Winter in response rolled her red eyes. Edward pulled her up and they jumped out of the widow.
And they hunted. She got a lioness and some deer. "Yum, Yum." she said sarcastically. Edward chuckled. "Your really nice. I know his reasons but I don't like them." She sighed. "Me either. But what can I do! I'm his wife!" she threw up her arms in defeat. "Do you want to kill Alice?" He asked.
She was thinking. Finally Edward smiled slowly. "You know my answer then." She said. "I'm proud of you now lets go back and tell the family."

The minute they walked into the house two males were in their faces. "Guys back up. Jasper, Alice. Please come here. No harm will come to you." Edward said. He grabbed Winter's hand and squeezed it. They emerged. "Jasper I'm sorry I overreacted. Alice I'm sorry I freaked out at you. I know you didn't know about me. I wont kill you. I could never hurt Jasper like that. As long as he's happy I'm happy." She took off her wedding ring and put it in Jasper's hand.
She turned to Carlisle. "What an interesting life you have here. I would try it sometime but I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with it." Carlisle just stared at her, with a question on his face. "She wants to know if she could stay here." Said Edward.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" Carlisle asked. "Yes. I just told everyone I wouldn't kill Alice and I would never kill Jasper. I can handle this like an adult."
"She's telling the truth. She missed you Jasper and Alice like she said she would never hurt you." Carlisle's face was one of shock. "Okay Winter you can stay." Carlisle said. "I'll show you where your room is." Edward said and led her away.
He led her to his room. "This is only temporary but you can make your self at home. We go to school so when your eyes cool..." She held up her hand to stop his sentence.
"Can't I just go to school?" Edward looked at her blankly. "Have you looked in the mirror lately? Your eyes are red." He said. She rolled her eyes. "Ahhh I see. What color were your eyes?"
"Well you see I got bleach blond hair so what color eyes would that be?"
"Blue." she nodded. "And red and blue make purple. I get purple eyes!" she squealed the last sentence. (A/N: I would totally do that too) Edward rolled his eyes.
"Alice could you come here please?" Winter asked.
Alice came hesitantly. "Yes!" Alice said. Winter looked at Edward. "She can see into the future." He replied. "Oh shopping. Right. First could you get me blue contacts? Then you can doll me up for my first day of school." Winter said. Carlisle walked up. "But first we need to adopt you."
"You look more like a Hale. Don't you think Esme? We could make them triplets. Her adoptive parents died and they found her sister and her brother. So they asked us." Winter nodded bored by the paperwork.
"Carlisle just adopt her. We need to go shopping!" Alice thrilled walking next to Winter. "Here you go. Blue. Put them in and lets go to the mall." Alice dragged Winter away.
"Wait! Middle name?" Carlisle asked. "Prudence!" She yelled out before Alice dragged her out to the car.

Her first day of school was a blast. She met new people who avoided her like the plague. She sat with the Cullen's at lunch. Towards the end of lunch Edward nudged Winter's arm. "What?" She asked. "People from the office want to talk to you. I'm coming too."
"Hello Cullen's" Said a male. "Hello Mr. Greene." Said the family. "I need to talk to your newest family member, Winter Hale."
Winter got up and Edward by her side. "I said your newest family member only." said Mr. Greene. "She's nervous and asked me to come if this happened."
Mr. Greene nodded his head, "Alright Mr. Cullen.."
They walked down to his office and they talked about her family ties. About Jasper and Rosalie. How she likes the school and her new family.
The bell finally rang. "Oh I'm sorry that you missed lunch." Said Mr. Greene. "It's okay. I'm not hungry. Just nervous." Winter responded.
