Is it really necessary that I still point out that I don't own Twilight? If I did, I would be off writing another book. I DO own Ryan.
"Yes, I do. I already told Emmett that you're not getting rid of me."
"Well; we're vampires." My siblings said in unison.
I thought about it for a minute and I really didn't care; I mean if they had any intention of hurting me, wouldn't they have already?
"Okay." I said calmly.
"That's it?" Emmett asked.
"No fear?" Rosalie asked.
"I TOLD YOU!" Alice exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well some vampires have gifts; I have visions of the future." Alice explained.
"That's awesome."
"But they're subjective; meaning I can only see what's been decided." She continued.
"Do either of you have abilities?" I asked Rosalie and Emmett.
"No I don't." Rose's tone was slightly acidic.
"I'm just INCREDIBLY sexy." Emmett waggled his eyes suggestively.
Rose slapped him so hard upside the head it sounded like a thunderclap.
"I should ask, I'd be insane not to; but you guys are like vampires from the movies?"
They all LAUGHED at me.
"Hell no! We don't sleep in coffins; we're invulnerable to everything but fire and another vampire." Emmett exclaimed almost too loud.
"What do you mean another vampire?" I asked, very confused.
"Well the most effective way to kill a vampire is to rip it apart and burn the pieces. The only thing that can rip apart a vampire is a vampire, werewolf or certain shape shifters. If that vampire pile is left alone we'll re-assemble ourselves." Alice informed me.
"That's cool in the semi-grotesque way." I chuckled.
Alice's phone rang at that exact moment.
"Rosalie, I like you. You're a good person and don't ever let the past get in the way; if you do, I don't care if you're a vampire I'll rip you to shreds myself." I have no clue where that came from, maybe I was back in my room and this was all a vivid hallucination.
"Um... Thanks... You're a good guy too." Rosalie replied, completely and without a doubt shocked beyond all reason.
"Dude; that was deep. Where the hell did that come from?" Emmett asked, also shocked.
Emmett and Rose explained the rest about vampires. Alice got off the phone and informed that we should be coming up with a way to get me over the border to Seattle.
"Well you have two cars and there are three vampires..." They didn't get it; so much for the improved intelligence.
"One of you could run me across the border." I continued.
"I'll do it, it's a long way and it would look weird if Alice did it; and I don't think Rose would let me driver her car, especially after last time..." Emmett trailed off.
Rosalie glared daggers at Emmett and Alice laughed.
"Okay see you at West Tiger Mountain." Alice said while getting into Carlisle's Mercedes.
They sped off towards my new family.
I turned to Emmett and asked. "So is Edward any fun at all?"
Emmett's reply was a simple but loud and slightly startling belly laugh.
"Em; that doesn't answer my question, is he any fun?"
"Not at all. So how do you want to ride?" He asked.
For a second my thoughts weren't the purest natured. I was thinking about—well you know.
"Whatever works for you?"
"Okay."
Emmett slung me onto his back and took off like lightning into the woods.
We reached West Tiger Mountain in about three or so hours stopping every now and then so I could stretch my legs and use the restroom.
"It's for you." I didn't even notice Emmett offer me his cell phone.
"Hello?" I said into the phone; more question than salutation.
"Ryan, its Alice."
"Hi Alice--"
"We're on the other side of the mountain. Tell Emmett to run you the rest of the way here; Carlisle and Esme bought you a welcome to the family present, well plural." She explained and hung up on me.
I handed Emmett's phone back to him.
"You'll get used to it," Emmett stated flatly before pulling me up onto his back.
Emmett took off as fast as he could go. He slowed to human walking pace when Rosalie's car came into view; it was surrounded by a newer model black Ford Expedition, silver Volvo Sedan, and Carlisle's Mercedes.
"There they are, remember they love you no matter what." Emmett said, his words full of depth.
"Not messing with me?"
"If I was messing with you I would have drained you dry as soon as Alice and Rose were far enough away to save you." Emmett said with a dark chuckle as we walked up to my family.
"Ryan; I'm Carlisle, this is my wife Esme, my son Jasper and my other son Edward." A tall, though not as tall as Emmett, blonde man introduced.
"It's nice to meet you." Jasper said in a southern accent, probably Texan.
"Hi." Edward greeted politely.
"It's so good to finally get to hug—wait? Can I hug you?" Esme asked worried I might say no.
"Of course you can; it's nice to see all of my new family together and in one place." I said to everyone.
Esme moved in to hug me, and I hugged back; it was like hugging a marble statue, but I hugged back with all I had.
"Did you forget Carlisle?" Alice squeaked.
"No I just didn't want to overwhelm him; he's still human." Carlisle replied calmly.
"Okay; can someone tell me what's going on?" I asked no one in particular.
"That Expedition is yours," Esme said.
"You're kidding?" I said, kind of freaked out, people I've known for less than a day BOUGHT ME A CAR!
"You don't like it?" Esme asked.
"We can go get you a different one?" Carlisle suggested.
"NO! It's perfect." I all but screamed as I hugged Carlisle then Esme as hard as I could.
"We're glad you like it." Esme said as she hugged back.
"We'll let's go; we should get back to Forks." Carlisle announced.
Rose and Emmett headed to her BMW, Alice and Jasper headed to Carlisle's Mercedes; and Edward and Esme to the Volvo. I took that as it was two per vehicle and I headed to my car where Carlisle was patiently waiting in the driver's seat. Carlisle took off, gracefully even in the big machine.
"How was your run with Emmett?" Carlisle asked.
"Fun; I liked the wind on my face, I'm glad it wasn't Alice that ran me down here." I chuckled.
"Why is that?"
"It would have looked odd, someone her size piggybacking me all the way here from Canada."
"I see. If I don't tell you now it won't be pretty. Look in the glove compartment for gifts A and B."
I opened up the glove compartment and found an iPhone.
"You're human and all, you need something for safety. All of our numbers have been programmed in already." Carlisle explained.
"Thanks."
Carlisle and I passed the remaining drive with my constant questions about his past. I found out that he's old enough to be my great great great grandfather, he's from Europe, he's swam the English Channel. The most fascinating thing I found out about him is that he's never fed from a human in his long life; he's tasted blood because he's turned Edward, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett.
I'm really not happy with this, but I needed to introduce Carlisle. There will probably be a chapter like this for everyone. Review PLEASE.
