Loving Time Itself:

Chapter 4: Acclimatising

A week had passed since I have arrived in this century. I guess you could say I was slowly acclimatising to the idea of mythical happenings. The time travelling took the most time to wrap my head around. Everything was modern and tons of new discoveries have been made since 1918. Like the television.

I had been introduced to this strange device only two days after my arrival.

*Flashback*

Emmett plopped down next to me with sigh.

"Mase, I'm bored." He whined and took a bizarre object from the coffee table. It was black with several buttons on. Emmett pressed down on one of the buttons – a huge red one – and I started as an image appeared on the black square on the wall I had seen earlier.

My jaw was slack as an image disappeared and a new one took its place in mere seconds.

"What on earth is that?" I asked as a strange man arrived on the square with a gun in his hand. He pulled the trigger and I shoved Emmett off the couch. I cowered under the coffee table.

What had just happened? Did someone just shoot at us?

Emmett laughed boisterously at me and I scowled.

"What was that? You could have gotten us killed!" I shouted as I crawled out from underneath the table.

Emmett helped me up though he seemed to have a little trouble since he was still laughing very loudly.

"Masen you're extremely silly. It's a television." I stared blankly at him. Was he actually expecting me to know what that was? "You know, you can watch movies and series and stuff on it." He tried again, motioning with his hand as if thinking I'd catch on.

"Is this a futuristic thing?" I asked, hesitantly. I was still unsure about this whole time travelling business, but Carlisle had showed me a few futuristic objects to convince me.

I was slightly disgusted about men and woman's attires these days, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. Alice had taken it upon herself to assure that my clothing fit into today's fashion.

Emmett laughed pulling me from my reverie.

"It is, Masen. Now stand up and face the television like a man." He burst into giggles once again.

*End of flashback*

I would say that I was definitely more educated with modern times, but the truth is that I see something new every single day.

It was disconcerting to say the least.

Carlisle had told me all about being vampires. I had been extremely relieved to find out that they fed from animals and not humans – hence the golden eyes. I remember after I had awoken from my fainting that I had the strongest urge to run away from these people. Hey, who could blame me? I was afraid I might get eaten. Luckily Jasper calmed me down.

It didn't seem to be enough that they were vampires and that they had super strength and speed, but some of them also had to have special abilities.

Like Alice, Jasper and Edward. Alice, like mentioned before I had fainted, could see the future, Jasper had the ability to feel and change emotions – like an empath – thus why he could calm me down and Edward could read minds. It was the scariest feeling when he told me exactly what I had been thinking. I now try to avoid him.

It turns out that I'm Edward and he is me…90 years later.

Like I said, disconcerting.

We had spent quiet a lot of time pondering my reason for being in the future. We thought, without doubt, that it had to do with a girl since I had arrived in this century immediately after Jake had made his, unintentional harmful, wish.

I really missed my mother and father and friends and I tried everything to figure out what I should do precisely to get back to my time. There had been a moment where I had been thrown into darkness as I had the depressing idea of maybe never even going back to my time, but Alice had shaken some sense into me.

What confused everyone, however, was that other Edward hasn't even found his love, so how could I find mine when we were essentially the same person.

The front door opened and Esme walked in with what looked like thousands of plastic bags. Plastic was at least something I knew.

I remember the time that Leo Hendrik Baekeland had made the incredible discovery of plastic when I was only three years old. Everyone had been hyped up about this amazing, revolutionary discovery. It had evolved even further in the years.

The door banged as it closed and I jumped up from my seat in the living room to help Esme with the bags.

"Edward, dear, stop that! I can carry this, remember the super strength." She said with a giggle. I shook my head and smiled at her. Esme was the only one that insisted on calling me Edward.

"Sorry, Ma'am, you'll have to blame my mother. She didn't raise me to be rude." Esme rolled her eyes and smiled before walking off to the kitchen. I picked up the few bags she had given me and followed.

That was one thing that I had really enjoyed since my time here in the future. Esme made amazing food and she has even taking it upon herself to teach me about the appliances and how she cooked my food. It was bewildering, but I already loved Esme like she was my second mother so I listened with rapt attention.

I looked with bright eyes as she packed out item after item and telling me where to put it. She pulled out a frozen pizza and I smiled. Esme knew that I have really become attached to pizza and she would make it for me every chance she got.

I thanked her and kissed her on the cheek before walking back into the living room.

Everyone was inside except for Carlisle who was at the hospital (he worked as a doctor, a feat that continues to amaze me) and Esme was still in the kitchen.

I sat down next to Alice. She was like the sister I have never had and she helped me to cope with everything. Actually I had bonded with all the Cullens in different aspects, though some were harder to crack through then others.

Like Rosalie, I found out that she wanted to be human and that being around me upset her, a little. But she had warmed up to me when I had asked her about modern-day cars. Jasper had also been somewhat hesitant. Alice told me that he was the newest to the vegetarian diet and that my blood was a temptation. It was slightly scary at first, but seeing the faith the others put in him, made me want to ease his worries. He had to hunt more than others, but we had started to become closer by playing chess. He won all the time, but it felt good to get to know him.

Alice smiled at me when I sat down and continued to flick through a magazine. I smiled at myself, realizing that I had at least started to recognize new things, like the magazine.

Emmett was absorbed in what was happening on the television. It looked like a football match. At least I knew about sports. His head lay on Rosalie's lap and she was stroking his dark curls while reading a book. Jasper was on another electronic device and I didn't ask what, my head was still slightly pounding because of all the information I had taken in this past week.

Edward was sitting on the piano chair in front of the gorgeous instrument. He must be able to play, because I can and well…he is me. He looked up and nodded my way.

This mind-reading thing is really weird. He smiled and nodded again.

"Carlisle will be here in a few minutes." Alice said not even looking up. "And he has some news for you Masen." I raised my eyebrow, but she continued to read her magazine.

"What news?" I asked. She didn't look up and she didn't even answer.

This little pixie could be so frustrating.

After about two minutes, I could hear a car purring into the garage before stopping. Carlisle must be home.

After another minute Carlisle and Esme arrived from the kitchen.

"You're food is almost done, Edward dear." Esme smiled. I thanked her and looked back at Carlisle.

"Alice says that you have some news for me." I stated and he smiled before nodding. He sat down on the armchair.

"Well, Masen, I think that you should accompany the others to school tomorrow." I frowned.

Alice had been talking of school and what she could wear to school this past week non-stop. I didn't expect to join them.

"Why would I need to go to school, Carlisle?" I asked bewildered. "I would make a fool out of myself." He sighed.

"Jessica saw you the day you arrived and she has been spreading the rumour that another Cullen has arrived." Alice said rolling her eyes. "We decided it would be best if you joined us at school. It would be boring at home without us." She winked.

I looked back at Carlisle and he smiled reassuringly. I gulped.

"Carlisle, I'm still not too sure that this is the best idea."

"Relax, Alice has insured that you have at least once of us in each of your classes and they'll help you."

Esme walked into the room and handed me a slice of pizza. I smiled my thank you before nodding at Carlisle.

"I'll try." Was all I said. He smiled and nodded.

"Well I just want to tell you that we will all be hunting tonight in preparation for tomorrow and we'll be back in the morning." He walked out.

I took a bite of the gooey cheese and hummed in appreciation.

An hour later I bid my goodbyes and goodnights to the Cullens and walked upstairs to Edward's bedroom. Esme had offered his room to me and I think that he didn't particularly like me in his room. Actually I had the feeling that he didn't care for me either, which was strange since we were the same person. He actually didn't like himself if he didn't like me, confusingly enough.

I sank into the warm bed and sighed.

My stomach was filled with butterflies as I thought about joining school tomorrow.

I sank into the darkness. Dreaming dreams of what could possibly go wrong tomorrow.
