'Brand new eyes' is out, so get it. I know paramore absolutely hates to be associated with twilight, and I hate to do it myself, in my own TWILIGHT story, but for shiz, every song is kick ass.
On with my story…
CHAPTER 6: HELLO?
Alice's POV
"The boy knows something's up. Actually, he did ever since he saw Jacob cross the street," Edward said.
"Ed, Carlisle told us not to listen in. So stop it." I said.
"I know, but—Emmett—he's a lot—Emmett—more smart than we gave him credit." Edward said, saying Emmett with a "cough".
I didn't doubt him, at all. He got his brains from my side of the family. I thought to Edward, thereby receiving a pair of rolled eyes.
"But I can't stress how much he knows and suspects. He may seem weak, but his background isn't impeding his suspicions of our family."
It was quiet for a bit after that, then Edward twitched his ears and said, "Guys, Carlisle's done."
Xavier's POV
I didn't get why he wouldn't just send me home. Worst-case scenario is that I get put in a mental asylum, with a slap on the wrist. But now I know something is up. Something big.
So I'll stay in, then, I thought.
As I was following Carlisle out of the dining room, the living room got really quiet. I thought it was because of me, but a flustered-looking Jasper walked through the front door. He looked like he went through hell and back. I looked away when he gave me a stare from the devil.
The Edward guy stood up and said to Carlisle, "Carlisle, he knows. We can't keep him from the truth longer. And the longer he stays out of the public eye, the longer you get suspected. We can't afford to move again." He said these random things in the room like I wasn't even there.
"What!?" I said.
Everyone turned they're eyes to me. In the case where they were all glaring. Even fucking Bella. I don't even know her that well. Or any of them, but I do believe she has no reason to hate me.
"I don't think so Edward. I mean it's not like he's tied to the family like Bella is. Xavier could very well leave whenever he wants. Well, maybe we'd have to… keep him quiet.," Carly said. I don't like the sound of that plan.
"What the fuck. Get me out—"I was getting cut off.
"Carlisle, he does. Xavier is my nephew." Alice explained. I was always sure that I only had one aunt, but she was way older. Try thirty years older.
Everyone gasped. Or that's what it sounded like.
"You're fucking crazy. I mean you're all nice, for psycho killers, but wow." I said.
"Xavier, I think its time we told you what we are." Carlisle said.
"What!?" I said. Wow, that is seriously being overused today.
"We're vampires."
Alice's POV
His mouth made an 'O' shape for five seconds. Then the giggling commenced.
"Heh…. Heh heh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." Something like that, for a whole minute.
"Oh, man guys. Where're the cameras. Is this "Fuck with Xavier" day? Are my friends here? Sitting in a room with the crew?"
We had to show him something to prove what we are, so I started to run really fast around him.
"Where's Alice!?" He asked panicky.
"We're fast, were strong and cold." I said as my voice echoed around the quiet room.
At "cold", I stopped and placed my freezing hands on his cheeks. He flinched.
"Xavier, I'm your aunt.. I'm about 200 years old. That's why you've never heard of me. And also why we're keeping you alive." I said.
I saw Xavier's eyes start to water, and before I expected, he hugged me pretty tightly, even for a human. I hugged him back.
Xavier POV
I have always felt some sort of attraction to Alice. But it never really was romantic. And for that I'm glad. She kind of looks like me and my family, and I had put that thought to the side until now.
She was like a sister I never had. I don't even know that she is a good person, but I can feel that she is one. What does she do as a vampire, or in her spare time?
'What does she eat?' I hadn't realized I said it out loud.
"Listen, Xavier, most of what you have known about the "traditional" vampire has been a lie." Alice said.
"How so?" God, their accent was rubbing off on me.
"Well, for starters, we'd like to say that we don't eat humans. Our family, or "coven", feeds off of the wild life."
"Like plants and animals?" I asked.
"No, retard, just animals," Emmett said.
"Shut up Emmett," The blonde woman said, slapping his arm.
Alice continued like there wasn't an interruption, "We don't die in the sun. We shine."
"Like glowing?"
"Kind of. And we're fast, cold and cunning."
"Wait, are there more around here?" I asked.
"No, we managed to make Forks sort of like our territory. But out there, in the bigger picture, there are vampires."
"Do they eat humans?"
"Yes. Which brings us tour next topic." Alice said.
"What?"
"You."
"What about me?" I said confusedly.
"Well, to be honest you smell." I sniffed my armpit.
"I do?"
"Let me finish. You smell mouthwatering. Even to Carlisle."
"I don't run into teenagers with your scent," Carlisle said.
"It's indescribable." Alice continued.
"Well, I'm sure I haven't bathed in a while…" I said self-consciously.
"Not your skin Xavier, your blood."
"Oh. Oh…" I said in realization. "What do I do?"
"Well, I want to keep you here. For starters, you know a lot, and secondly, you're the only family I've met. And I don't want to lose you. The others could get at you, because they aren't, so to speak, vegetarians."
"Well… I'm willing to stay. If it's alright with you guys…" I said. The family doesn't look too pleased.
"I'm willing to let you stay Xavier." The doctor said slowly, unsurely.
"I won't mind at all." Esme said with a smile.
"Bella and I are alright with it," Edward, my ol' buddy, said. He rolled his eyes.
"I'm perfectly okay with it," Jasper said.
"I'll live. My name's Rosalie by the way," Rosalie, the hot one, said, also with a smile.
It took me a second to realize that Emmett hadn't said anything. Rosalie elbowed him in the ribs, as everyone was looking at him.
"Oh, um *grumble* I guess that would be acceptable…" Emmett finally muttered.
*****
Xavier's POV
I was sitting in my room, in the dead quiet.
Everyone had left. All the cars were gone; Carlisle was called to the office, Edward took Bella home and was staying the night, Jasper and Emmett went hunting, Rosalie and Alice went shopping—for me, and Esme went to get takeout. Also for me.
I know it seems weird that they would leave without me, but they said something about knowing if I left or not. They must have a good alarm system.
I lied down and closed my eyes.
A car honked on the outside of the house. I looked out my window and there was an old looking gray Mercedes.
A girl with brown curly hair stepped out of the driver's door. She definitely looked pretty. She walked up to the front door slowly, as if scared, and knocked on the door.
I figured since nobody was home, that I would answer the door. I went down the main staircase in pain two at a time. My socks were slippery against the hardwood floor, so I ended up hitting my head against the door. I was rubbing the side of my head as I answered the door.
