Sitting in the car with Bella was hell. She was quiet and we were listening to some really shitty music. Music that made the moment even worse, something slow but with horrible lyrics about love, but I guess that's what love does to you. It makes you mindless and only think about love there you have to listen to music that is about love.
When she began to hum to the music that was it. I had to say something to turn the music down.
"So the cullen family" I began as I reached over to turn Bella's music off. "How many people are their in the family anyways"
"7 including Edward."
"Wow that is a big family"
"Oh yeah a big family"
She reached over and turned her music back on.
"There was a reason why I turned it off" I complained.
"Oh really sorry" she breathed slowly. "I'm just surprised you want to talk, I mean its been a while and there has been no phone calls or letters"
"I was busy living my life Bella"
"And I as well"
"Why do we hate each other I asked" might be a strange question but it was a great time to ask.
"We don't hate each other"
"The what is it"
"Well we have nothing in common anymore" She said looking at the road.
"Bells we have never had anything in common, I was the one who would talk back and you kept your mouth shut, I was the one with the bad streak and you well you just stood there with out any rebel threads in your body"
"Right you are Cacia, but one day your mouth and action is going to get you hurt" She went on. "Yes you tend to act on an impulse on things"
"Acting on impulses is life Bella and everyone does it, you just can't be scared you know and I am sure that's how you landed Edward, by acting on an impulse and things just worked out because he acted on and impulse as well"
"Cacia" She calmly stated. "Yes one time I have acted on an impulse and something good came out of it, I found the one I want to spend my life with, Edward"
"You must really love him" I looked over to her with a lifted brow. "I mean I don't even know him, but I can tell even from being away from you for so long that you love him"
"I do" she laughed. "And he has changed me so much"
"I can tell, you are not as boring as you used to be"
"Thanks I guess" She stated, I could see her eyes roll.
The truck stopped, at a house, the cullen house, it was a huge house that looked very interesting in many ways that I could not explain. It was just strange.
"Well we are here" she unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door and stepped out. I felt more dressed up than her. Even though she was wearing a skirt and nice top I still felt overdressed. I wore a black dress with tights, boots and a black pea coat since the night was chilly. My hair was still wavy and lips were still coated with red lipstick, all that had changed was my attire.
"Ugh Bells" I muttered. "maybe this is a bad Idea, I mean me a girl who doesn't even know your boyfriend shouldn't be introduced to his family"
"Cacia, like I stated before Edward and I just want you to have more friends in town, because the summers are long, more friends means a less boring summer"
"Me having a boring summer would be impossible" I laughed.
"You're right you are bound to get into some sort of trouble"
"I'm not all bad Bells, I don't break the law, often"
Which was a good thing to have the law as a relative...Charlie.
Bella laughed.
Bella rang the door bell. I stood there slight shaking and very nervous, I wondered if Edward's family would be as strange as he. The large door open and a girl with pixie like features appeared, her hair just as pixie. She smiled at Bella, but then gave me an awkward look.
"Hey Bella" She greeted, her voice high pitch and a bit too happy for my taste. She leaned over and gave Bella a hug. "And you must be Acacia" She leaned over toward me and wrapped her arms around be. "Oh you smell good" she laughed. "Welcome to house, its a pleasure to meet you" She let go of me, yep she was just as awkward as Edward.
"Alice" Edward called out as he came to the door. "Please come in Bella, Acacia"
He gave Bella a loving look, but then gave me an awkward look.
"Nice to meet you too Alice, right" I turned to her and gave her a smile.
"Right" she smiled. "Oh come in, Come in"
The house was warm, lit with candles, music playing in the background.
"The cello right?" I asked randomly.
"Yeah" Edward smiled. "You play?"
"Yeah actually I used to, not so much now, but I still appreciate its beauty" I looked to the side awkwardly.
"Let me take you coat" Alice reached over and grabbed my coat.
"Thanks" I thanked awkwardly.
"Wow that is such a beautiful dress" Alice complimented. "You look lovely Acacia"
"Thank you" I blushed. It made me feel a bit better about being over dressed.
"Of course you look lovely as well Bella"
I looked over to Bella she didn't look too happy, but she forced a smile upon her lips.
"Our guests are here Carlisle" Happily shouted a woman.
I turned to face the woman along with Bella. The woman was beautiful, with soft features and a warm smile.
"Esme this is Acacia" Edward introduced.
"Acacia, this is my mother Esme"
"It is nice to meet you Acacia, what a lovely name you have" The woman stuck out her hand and I as well to shake hers. Her hands were cold, freezing. "You have such lovely eyes dear, an interesting shade of blue they are"
"Thank you" I turned my face away from hers and let go of her hand.
"So you must be Bella's cousin" A tall guy walked in front of me, he was quiet buff, not too buff though. "I'm Emmett and you are?"
"The name is Acacia" I smirked.
The guy called Emmett laughed.
"You will meet Carlisle, Jasper, and Rosalie when dinner is served" Esme looked at her watch. "Which is now"
I followed everyone into the dining area, which was quite a large room with a long cherry wood table, draped over it was a maroon table cloth. On top of the table cloth were expensive looking plates and glasses.
"Everyone have a seat" Spoke an older looking man, but a man that looked to be in his later 20s.
Where was I to sit.
"Acacia you can sit next to me" It was Alice. I walked over toward her.
Everyone sat down that were present. Shortly after everyone was seated, two other people joined, one a girl who was extremely beautiful, unnaturally beautiful, with long blonde hair, she didn't look too happy at all. The other was a boy he was about Bella's and my age, he sat down on the other side of Alice.
"Acacia this is Rosalie and Jasper and Carlisle is the man sitting at the top of the table" Alice introduced.
The one called Rosalie glared at me. I turned and glared back at her. I turned to the one called jasper, he looked like he was going to be sick or something.
"Nice to meet you all" I stated quietly.
Dinner was quiet, no one really talked and no one really ate as well, which I found odd.
"Lets all go into the living room and talk get to know each other because I know we will be seeing you a lot more Acacia" Alice hopped out of her seat and pulled me up along with her and started to walk toward the living area.
"Alice" I heard Edward.
"What Edward, its the truth, you know with her being Bella's cousin and Bella is always over here"
"Alice" Edward growled.
Alice sat down onto the couch in the middle of the room and she pulled me down with her.
"Tell me about your self" Alice began.
"Well I am 18 years old and I will be starting college in the fall as an Art major"
"Wow that is fascinating, I love art, go on"
"You already know I am Bella's cousin and I am down visiting for the summer before class starts again"
"That's great, it gives us time to get to know each other, Acacia I can we are going to be best of friends"
I took in a deep breath trying to keep myself from saying something mean to Alice. She was a sweet girl, but the friendship was moving way to fast.
"You like fashion I can tell" She smiled looking down at my shoes. "We should go shopping really soon, bring Rosalie along as well, Bella never likes to go shopping"
"Yeah sounds like fun" I smiled. "Alice can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead Acacia"
"Where are all of you from, you all look very I don't know how to say it, but not average, you all look inhuman"
"Well we are from all over, we travel a lot"
"Oh really? Where have you all been?" I asked. I wanted to travel, I have traveled before, but only to paris, france.
"All over Europe, basically all over the world" She smiled. "Have you traveled before?"
"Yeah only to France though"
"I love France, Nice is beautiful"
"I couldn't agree more" I smiled. I was beginning to like this girl.
Edward and Bella walked into the living room and smiled, the one called Rosalie was behind them. She walked in and sat at a chair. I looked over to her and smiled, her eyes rolled.
"Excuse me" I stood up. Alice gave me a shocking look. "What is your problem? I don't even know you and you seem to have some sort of grudge against me"
"I do not have a problem" Rosalie began. "But I am sure you do, everyone in the house will not stop talking about you and your power?"
"Rosalie" Edward growled.
"You are just as crazy as Edward aren't you" I walked over to her. "Power?"
"And how is Edward crazy Acacia" Asked Bella.
"You are just as crazy Bella"
"How so" she walked up closer to me.
"You talk too loud at night" I frowned. "I know Edward sneaks into your room at night, I over heard a couple of your conversations last night about how Edward can not read my thoughts and how you" I pointed to Alice. "Could not have visions of me, I rather no one hear my thoughts let alone have visions of me, thats just strange"
Alice stood up and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Acacia, calm down" she whispered.
"No I will not, you all are mad, on drugs of some sort" I quickly walked to the door. "You all are not human are you, you look too inhuman"
"That's nonsense Cacia" It was Bella.
"Jasper" Shouted Alice. "Come here"
Jasper, the one who looked sick appeared in front of the door with in seconds and locked eyes with me.
"Are you crazy? Move out of my way" I shouted at him. He didn't move, but continued to stare at me. "Stop staring at me, you are freaking me the hell out"
"Fascinating" An older voice filled the air. Carlisle.
"Its not working" Shouting Alice.
"whats not working?" I questioned. "Are you trying to hypnotize me or something?"
"No" he didn't move.
My eyes fail onto Bella. She had a hand pushing the hair out of her face and she was breathing hard. What was she thinking about at the moment. Moving away from the door I ran out of the room to the dining and into the Kitchen.
"Acacia calm down" Alice shouted running into the room. I ran into a corner and slumped onto the ground breathing hard. Alice's hands went to my shoulders. "We are not going to hurt you"
"Alice" It was Bella. "We need to tell her"
"But she just met us tonight" Shouted the blond girl.
"This is your fault Rosalie" Edward growled.
"If she doesn't calm down soon she is going to pass out" shouted Alice. "Acacia listen to me, we are not going to hurt you, but what we are about to tell you might frighten you a bit"
"Alice let me" Bella walked over to me and sat down on the ground. "Acacia what I am about to tell you is going to change everything about your life, a lot of things are going to change, but you have to know for your safety and so we can keep you safe"
"What" I muttered.
Bella grabbed my hands and held them.
"Acacia the Cullens are well, they are not human"
"We used to be" Shouted Emmett.
"They are vampires"
"You're fucking crazy Bells" I shouted and stood up and ran for the door again. But this time all of the Cullens were in front of it.
"It true Acacia" spoke the older looking man. "I'm Carlisle and I assure you we are not going to hurt, we want to protect you from things to come, Acacia you are a special girl and we would like you to stay safe"
"Special" I began to laugh. "I must be on drugs, I am losing it!"
"No Acacia you are perfectly sane" Bella whispered.
"Acacia" Edward walked over toward me. "We are not going to harm you, but you must keep this secret safe"
"You all are insane, Vampires are not real, even if they were real, you couldn't walk out in day light. Where are your fangs" I questioned.
"Vampires don't have fangs" Emmett laughed.
"We are Vampires" Esme walked over toward me and placed both of her hands my cheeks. "My dear, we only wish to keep you safe from what is to come, you are special just like Bella and they do not need to get a hold of you"
"Special?" I questioned feeling a bit light headed. "They who are they and Bella what?"
"Its too much for her to handle at the moment" Bella interrupted.
"I need to know why it matter, why I matter and they what do they want with me"
My head was swimming and pounding. And thats when it all went black.
