A/N: O.K. just a couple of things. I got some reviews and messages about Bella's power. I hope you guys like it, but I though I might add some humor. LOL. And for those who have read my other reviews, I know that Gothicprincess303 is weird. She's one of my best friends who wants me to add them to my story. I Might see what I can do.
It was the day after I controlled Edward. We decided to go to our little meadow for the day, until it was time to go play baseball. He was trying to shun me, but to no avail. Every time I started to say something, he would look at me, Yell "Shunning!" and run off. Then, I would chase after him and tackle him to the ground.
When we got to the meadow, there was someone there, just laying in the grass. I could see from the edge of the meadow that she was very pale, and had dark circles under her eyes. It was another vampire. I looked at Edward, who whispered to me, "She knows we're here. She's been waiting for us. She says hi."
She had long, dark brown hair that looked to have been once died black. She had topaz eyes, which showed that she shared the same diet as us. She was a little thicker than me, which shocked me because I was used to vampires being anorexic skinny.
She noticed me staring at her quizzically, because she said, "Like what you see? Or do I have to demonstrate my power to completely incapacitate you?"
I heard Edward chuckle. "I would really like to see that."
This time she laughed. "You doubt my power? You're a fool."
"I don't doubt your power," I said, "But I do, however, doubt any effect on me."
She walked up to me, slowly, and looked me in the eye. I just blinked at her and smiled. She smiled back cruelly, and furrowed her brow. After a minute, she got frustrated and stepped back.
"How..." she paused, "unusual, to say the least. How many are in your coven?"
"Eight," I answered, "but if you are trustworthy, I'm sure Carlisle wouldn't mind you joining. I-"
"If you don't mind," Edward interrupted, "I'm sure you have a name. Could you please tell us?"
She laughed. "Yes," she said, "I'm sorry. In my human life I was known as Alicia. I don't like that name. Please call me Kassandra. Kassandra Rigg if you don't mind."
"My name is Bella Swan, and this is my fiancée, Edward."
"Nice to meet you. I apologize for the earlier rudeness."
"That's fine," Edward said. "But before we make any formal arrangements, I think you need to talk to Carlisle, my father. He will give you all rules and see if you agree. If so, I'm sure he wouldn't mind you living with us."
Kassandra nodded and we walked out of the meadow. Edward winked at me and we took of running.
When we got back to the house, we weren't surprised to see everyone waiting on the front porch, having smelled our new visitor. They approached cautiously, as did we, to ensure that no one attacks anyone else.
"Carlisle says that Alice was expecting a visitor wishing to be a permanent part of our coven, but could not see her clearly," Edward whispered to me, so low, that nobody else could hear him.
I could feel some tension building, which Jasper quickly relieved.
"Welcome to our home!" Carlisle said. "I am Carlisle, and this is my family. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and my wife, Esme. May I ask who you are?"
"I am Kassandra. I come from Michigan, looking for a, as you call it, family. I was looking for you, inquiring as to whether or not you would allow someone into your coven."
"Well, we would want to know about you, and you cannot lie, for we have two different people with the ability to tell if you are, but then, you may be a permanent addition to our family."
Kassandra smiled and then began to tell us about how she ended up here.
"I was posing as an orphan," she said, "and every so often I would run away and go to a different state and use a different name, only to run away again in about a year and a half. I was changed about 40 years ago, in California, and when I realized what I had become, I set up evidence for a kidnaping, and ran away. I went to very dark places, with hardly any sunlight, and ended up here. I was relaxing in that cozy little clearing when they found me."
"Well," Carlisle said, looking deep in thought, "I suppose we could give you our extra room. I will let Alice take you shopping, as you will need new clothes. I can see by your eyes that you are already familiar with our diet, so there's no need to explain that. Rosalie will show you to your room."
She smiled, thanked Carlisle, winked at me, and followed Rosalie up to her room.
