The house was like a house from the 1800. It was white and it must be fore levels in the house. It had many widows and it was light and open. This was beyond my expectations.
Edward smiled at my gaping expression and started to lead the way. I followed him gaping at the house.
When we came to the front porch I started to get nervous. Edward said they would like me but what if he was wrong, what if they actually hated me.
"There is nothing to be nervous about. I told you that they love you already" Edward said I looked up at him with a worried smile and nodded.
"Ok" I said under my breath nervously. When we were at the door I heard noises from inside. I could sense there were six vampires in the house. They were mumbling things I could not understand
"Are you ready" Edward asked and looked down at me with his golden eyes.
"Yes" was the only thing I could say. I felt like I had to start biting my nails of. I knew that was a bad habit from my human life, but I restrained. Edward reached out for the door handle and opened the old wooden doors that were made of oak.
On the inside of the house it was even more beautiful than on the outside. There was a beautiful modern staircase and the walls were painted white.
There were beautiful paintings and drawings that were in golden rams. The temperature was just warm enough for my skin.
I could feel Edward looking at me from behind me. I turned around to meet his chest. Like I need something else to drool over. He was so tall compared to me, I felt so little and weak under his gaze. But I also felt safe and protected some way.
"My family is waiting for you upstairs" he said and took my hand in his. It felt so right to have my petite hand in his strong hands. I felt a spark shooting down my spine and shivered. He pulls me up the stairs eagerly.
When we come up we come into a living room that was bright and open. It was huge. It had a big plasma television with speakers. And there was a big couch and a table. The room was decorated with flowers and paintings.
I looked away from the room to find that there were six stunningly beautiful vampires in the middle of the room smiling at me.
The first to the right was a man. He was tall and had golden hair that hangs straight to the sides of his head. He was slightly muscular and had a smile on his face, but I saw in his eyes that he was suspicious as well. His hands were in his pockets and he looked relaxed. His right arm was around the waist on the girl beside him.
She is practically jumping up and down in excitement with a big smile plastered on her face. She looked almost like a pixie I must say. She was wary short and petit. She had short dark hair that pointed in every direction. Almost like Edward, but his hair was longer and more beautiful if you ask me. Her eyes were huge but beautiful. I smiled at her, I had a feeling that we were going to be grate friends.
Next to her there stood a woman. She was the most beautiful vampire I have ever met. She had golden blond hair that fell down to her waist in curls. She had a perfect body, long legs and had the curves at all the right places. She had full lips that smiled a weak smile at me. She seemed thoughtful.
Her hand was holding a huge man's hand. He was weary muscular and looked a little scary. But he had the hugest grin on his face. He had short brown hair and looked like a bear.
Next to him there stood a woman. She reminded me of my mother. She had long light brown hair that fell down her shoulders. And she had a motherly smile.
Behind her there stood a tall man. With blond hair and looked like he was a little over 25.
"This is Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle" Edward said and smiled down at me.
"Everybody this is Bella" He said and looks up at them.
The petite girl skipped up to me, the tall bond guy following closely behind.
"Hi, I'm Alice we are going to be grate friends. This is Jasper my mate" She said while giving me a hug. This startled me a little but I hugged her back, already liking her. Jasper smiled at me and gave me a friendly nod. I nodded back.
When Alice let go of me the blond and the big guy came up to me. The big guy came first and gave me a bone crushing hug.
"Welcome to the family Bella" He said and put me down I smiled at him.
"I'm Emmett and this is my Rosie" He said and letting Rosalie come up to me. She smiled and gave me a quick hug.
Then Carlisle and Esme I assume came up to me and gave me a warm smile.
"it's a beautiful house you have" I said shyly and looking at my feet.
"Thank you dear, I decorated it myself" She said and smiled at me.
"Welcome to the family Bella" Carlisle said in a smooth tone shaking my hand.
"Where are you from Bella" Jasper asked.
"I'm actually from Forks" I said and looked at him.
"How were you changed" Carlisle asked before Jasper got to say anything. I saw that he was concerned.
"Well, I was born in 1937 and was changed when I was seventeen. It was a night when my parents: Charlie and Renee Swan were fighting over something I can't remember." I took in a deep breath and looked up at Edward and back at the family and continued. "I could not listen to in anymore and ran into the forest. I always found comfort in the trees. I climbed a tree and sat down at a branch.
Eventually I fell asleep. I woke up when I felt that I was being pushed down the tree. And before I could react I felt a sharp pain in my neck" I heard Edward growl behind me. "I woke up alone in the woods and I have stayed there ever since"
The family stayed silent for a while. "I' m sorry" Carlisle said, I just shrugged my shoulders and said " I can't do anything about it now"
After explaining a little more about me and getting to know the Cullens, Edward said he would give me a tour of the house.
"Not before I get to give Bella some new clothes, look at her!" Alice said and pointed at me and started to drag me up the stairs. I heard the family laugh a little.
"And Edward, put on a new shirt!" She yelled over her shoulder as we came upstairs.
We went through a corridor and came to a room that I assumed was Alice and Jaspers room. Alice opened the door and stepped inside I followed after her.
"This is my and Jaspers room, I should find some clothes that fit you" She said and smiled at me.
"Thank you" Alice skipped to a pair of doors and opened them. Inside was a huge closet one side was with men's clothes and the other with woman's clothes. There were at least fifty pairs of shoes.
Alice laughs at my gaping expression.
"I like to shop, I shop for the whole family and that means we have to go shopping soon for you" She said and I saw the excitement in her eyes.
"Alice, I don't really have any money" I said and looked sorry at her.
"I am paying Bella, whether you like it or not" And gave me one of her straight looks. I gave up knowing there would be no use to object.
"Ok, if you insist and it's not a problem, but I will pay you back later when I get money" I said. Alice nodded her head in agreement with a sight of annoyance. She then proceeded to find clothes for me.
She laid a pair of black jeans and a white shirt down on the bed and took out a pair of brown cotton ballerina shoes.
"Put these on, they should fit you. The bathroom is in there, take your time. And if you want you can take a shower" She said and pointed at the wooden door.
I nodded and thanked her. I went inside the bathroom and turned the shower on. I stripped my clothes of and stepped into the shower.
The water felt good as it flowed down on my skin. And I relaxed, I started to think about the day.
After I was done in the shower and had put on the clothes Alice had given me. I looked up in the mirror.
I was pale, I had eyes that were too big for my head and a small button nose. My face was hart shaped and had a slight smile on it. I didn't look that bad.
I went out of the bathroom with my old wet clothes and Edwards shirt. To find Alice gone.
I went out in the corridor and there stood Edward.
"Just leave the clothes" He said in a smooth voice. I did as I he said and laid them down on the floor.
"You look beautiful by the way" He said and gave me a look that would have made me blush if I was human. I looked down at my hands, and saw that they were knotting against each other.
"You don't look bad yourself" I replied and looked into his eyes. He had changed into a new shirt and pants and shoes. It was a blue shirt that he had pushed up to his elbows. And a pair of black trousers with a pair of leather shoes ,and a leather belt. He looked weary handsome.
He smiled at me and offered me a elbow to hold. I took it immediately and we started our tour.
He showed me Carlisle's office, the library, the bedrooms and the music room. When we came to an end to the corridor Edward started to shuffle from foot to foot, like he was nervous.
"And this is my room" He said and took a last look at me before opening the door.
