Edward and I locked eyes for at least 20 seconds. I was face to face with the reason for my insanity once again.
I wonder if he knows how much he's ruined my life.
"Oh, so now you're blaming me because you tried to kill yourself?" He snarled, right after my thought.
"You little- You're reading my thoughts?! And you call me out for invasion of privacy!? Is this your new way of ruining my life?"
He stormed over to me when I stood up so we were right in front of each other.
"What do you think you're doing here anyway, Eve?" Edward hissed between his teeth.
"Well, excuse me, but I was sent here." I smirked triumphantly. "We may have to share a house again, Eddie."
"Don't you dare call me that…" My brother let out another feral snarl at me.
"Looking to pick a fight?"
"Don't tempt me."
"I bet your scrawny little self couldn't even knock me over-"
Before I knew it, Edward growled and tried to pin me down. I snarled back at him and threw him back, kicking him square in the chest and sending him flying through the doorway and into the wall.
Edward recovered quickly, but before he could get back on his feet, Carlisle stood in between the two of us.
We exchanged soft growls and looked up at Carlisle. Stay right there or I will rip out his throat.
"Be quiet, Evangeline!"
"You never have. Why should I-"
"Are you two done showing off your sibling rivalry?" Carlisle managed to smile a little at both of us. "I honestly hope this isn't a daily thing-"
"It is." We commented, simultaneously.
"Well, then you two need to learn to resolve it." He finished with a touch of harshness in his voice. "We're all family here, and we need to live with each other, so we may as well get along. If you two cannot solve this like adults, at least take it outside-"
"No, let them stay in here. I want a new door."
I looked over at the tall, muscular person that was leaning against the wall near Edward. He had a cocky grin on his face, and he was watching me as if I would pounce and attack him like a cougar.
"Hey, I didn't know Edward's sister was a vampire." The weight lifter said and turned to Carlisle.
"None of us did, Emmett, but we have to live with her."
"Unfortunately."
"Shut up, Edward…" I threatened. "I will rip every strand of hair off your perfect-little head and make it into hair for a doll."
"Are they always like this?" Emmett asked again.
I stood up straight and brushed off my dark jeans. "We always have been, always will be, and were always meant to fight with one another. " I looked straight at Edward, glowering. "Nothing is ever going to change the fact that if that little pest hadn't been born, my life would have been alcohol-free and blissful."
Emmett chuckled a little. "She's an addict, too? This oughta be good."
I growled softly. Emmett, you're not getting any better off then my brother is.
"Now, now, all of you," Carlisle took a step towards me, "Just relax and don't kill each other. Evangeline, for now you may have to share a room with Alice until we can add on another room- unless you two can get along, in which case, we might keep it like that."
"Alright…"
"Marcius also called, and he'll be bringing your best clothes out here in a couple of days. Alice already agreed that she and Rosalie won't mind sharing with you until then."
I nodded.
"Where is Alice?"
"Downstairs."
I was flying through the hall and down at the bottom of the stairs before they had time to think. I need to get away from all of the testosterone.
Down in the living room, Esme was talking to three people, who I assumed to be Rosalie, Alice and Jasper. One of them was rather short, and reminded me of a larger version of a pixie- black, spiky haircut included. The other was a taller blonde girl, maybe an inch or two below me. The one I assumed to be Jasper was lean and blonde-haired… nothing, compared to my Damian.
The black-haired girl seemed to have been looking at the staircase before I came down, and was already smiling when I met eyes with her. She bounced over to me just as I stepped down onto the floor.
"You must be what all the fuss is about." She chirped, holding out her hand. "I'm Alice- Evangeline, right?"
I stared at her, half-smiling, and shook her hand. "Um, yes… I'm Evangeline, but how did you know my name?"
"Oh, I can see the future, and Esme was just telling us that you were here." Alice turned to look at her adoptive siblings then danced back over to Jasper. "This is Jasper, and that's Rosalie," She introduced me, pointing to each one of them respectively, "And I hear we'll be roommates too?"
"We will…" I giggled and smiled at Rosalie. "Pleased to meet you."
"You too." Rosalie responded neutrally.
"You're from France, correct?"
I looked at Jasper and laughed a little nodding. He noticed the accent... "Yes, I... I was living in Paris until recently."
"What happened?" Alice wondered out-loud.
"…I would rather not say." The memory was all too familiar- burned into my brain permanently. I will never forget that horrid day… My mind wandered back to me again when I saw Esme holding the bag I had left in my car before coming in.
"You found my ballet things…?" I asked, dazed.
"Oh, yes, I thought you would want them." Esme handed me the bag and smiled. "How long have you been a ballerina?"
I smiled, and looked into the bag. Everything was there- my black ballet slippers with red ribbon, my routines, and my awards for competions.
"I learned ballet before Edward learned the piano."
(A/N: And another chapter ends XD I'll try to get Chapter Four up soon, but no date is set in stone... I had a really bad night yesterday, and I'm still recovering from it honestly. I may not be back to my old self for a bit. I will still try to write more though, in spite of my emotional state =/)
