Although it might be hard for me, Edward isn't going to be evil. Trust me, I know that I would kill most of my audience if I did that. He isn't even bad, Bella just doesn't like him. And to donna79, you will have to wait and see =D (But it will be soon, I just don't know the exact chapter yet, sorry!)
BPOV
Walking into the house, I saw seven vampires smiling at me. There was the doctor, hugging a woman with a friendly face, who I guessed was his wife by the way he hugged her around the waist.
Next to them was another blonde man, but his face was strained, and a small, pixie looking woman with black spiky hair was hugging him, smiling the brightest out of all of them.
To the right of them was one of the biggest men I have ever seen, but his smile was goofy and he looked as if he was a little kid, and a beautiful blonde woman stood next to him, she was one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen.
And then there was Edward. He looked at me with an odd emotion on his face, but I felt Jacob's scorching body move up to me, and Edward quickly looked away.
"Okay, are we going to talk, or just stand here and stare at each other all day?" My voice was harsh, but I couldn't give a crap anymore.
"Ha! Angry, I like her!" The biggest one said, and got smacked in the back of his head by the blonde girl.
"Emmett, quite down." The doctor said, and then gestured to the couch. "Please, sit."
I looked at Jacob, who dipped his head towards the couch. Sighing, I walked over and sat down, with Jacob sitting down next to me. Looking around, I saw that the doctor and his wife stood off to the side, the pixie and her "pained" boyfriend sat on the chair, the pixie on her lap. And the big one, who's name is Emmett, sat on the floor with the blonde girl on his lap.
"Bella, I would like to introduce you to my family. My name is Carlisle, this is my wife Esme. These are my children. Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and of course, Edward." He pointed to each vampire as he said their name.
"Okay, it is nice to meet you, but I need to know why I am here. Edward didn't tell me much, and to be quiet honest, I don't want to be here." I was being honest, and I felt the couch shake slightly as Jacob laughed.
"Well, we are animal drinkers. We want to keep people safe. And…" Carlisle started, and his eye drifted towards my left arm.
"And it looks like that mutt already got to you." I was taken aback by the force and the anger that came from the blonde. She seemed sweet. I will never judge a book by it's cover again.
"Okay, are we just going to be bashing on Jacob or are we going to actually talk about something." I made sure to emphasizes his name, and I felt Jacob tense next to me.
"Every, cut it out. Bella has been through a lot in her life, she doesn't need this." Edward said, and looked at me with a pained expression.
"Okay, cut it out, now. I don't want to talk about my past, and I don't want you to bash on Jacob. I had a crappy past, that is all you need to know, until I know more about you. Now, I know you are vampires. And I know Jacob is a werewolf. Are we going to talk about anything else?" I felt a pang of pain shoot through my arm and winced, grabbing it.
"Bella, are you alright?" Carlisle moved towards me with almost blinding speed.
"Are you asking me as the vampire, or the doctor?" I heard Emmett laughed, and Jacob let out a growl as Carlisle started to look over my arm.
"Bella…Can you please just tell me?"
"No, my arm is killing me." I let out another wince as Carlisle's ice hands moved my arm.
"Edward, you explain the situation to her, while I get the pain killers." He ran out of the room, and everyone looked at Edward.
"Okay, here is the deal. Jacob hurt you, we get that. We have a treaty made, but we want to do more than that. We want to keep you safe Bella. I know that the pack wants to keep you safe from us, but we all have a draw to you." Edward said, and then the one introduced as Alice jumped off of Jasper's lap and skipped closer to me.
"Bella, I can see the future. I can't see anything that pertains to the wolves, but I do see you spending time with us. We become like a family. But there are also a lot of blank spots, so you also become a family with the wolves."
I shook my head and looked down. "You guys don't understand. I'm a foster child. I'm sure soon I will be shipped off to another state. I can't become a 'family' with anyone." I said, sorrow filling my voice. Suddenly I felt much calmer, and I lifted my head, looking around.
"Oh, Jasper is an empathy. He can control people's emotions. Usually when he feels too much sorrow or a strong emotion he will calm you down." Alice explained quickly.
"I like my own emotions, thank you Jasper." I looked at Jasper, and he dipped his head, and I felt the sorrow was over me again.
"Sorry." He muttered softly.
I put my head in my hands. "Sorry, I just hate that I will never have a family. I wish I knew when I would be sent off."
I heard a wince, and looked up at Edward. His eyes were locked on Jacob, and I remembered that he could read minds, and Alice was wincing too. "What? Okay, someone needs to tell me what I don't know, right now."
Jacob, Alice, and Edward looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"I will give you to the count of three. One…Two…"
"Jacob, you tell her. You're the one who he told." Edward growled softly, and Carlisle came in, giving me a shot in my arm to stop the pain, but my mind was no longer on the pain in my arm, but it was on Jacob, and what he was about to say.
"Damn you, leech." He sighed and looked at me. "Bella…Charlie told me that…In two months he will have to…"
"Give me away." I could feel the tears start to fill my eyes and blur my vision. "I knew it."
All of a sudden, I felt a thin but strong pair of ice cold hands wrap around me. "Oh my god Bella! I'm so sorry!" As I was put down, I realized that it was Alice.
Looking at the ground, I fell back down onto the couch and felt the burning arms of Jacob. I let my tears start to fall freely off my cheeks.
"Bella, like Alice said, we would like to become part of our family." My head shot up as Carlisle as this.
"What?"
"Well, we would like to spend time with you and become almost like a family, and then once the two months are up, we could possibly adopt you. Although, you could still spend time with the wolf pack. It is just that we want you to be happy." Carlisle said softly, and looked at all of them, and they all smiled back at me, surprisingly even Jacob.
"Really?" I looked at Jacob, seeing what he would think.
"Well, I think that would be great, Bella. You and I can still hang out, and then you can have a family." Jacob smiled and quickly hugged me, and I pulled back, smiling.
"Do you guys really want me to be part of your family?" I was shocked. This was all so new, and yet I felt that I was slipping into my eight year old self, but on the other hand, I never knew these people.
"Yes, but over all, we want you happy." Esme was the one to talk now.
I cleared my throat. "Well, I don't know you guys at all. I guess after two months we could see how it goes…" But on the inside, I was smiling.
"Of course."
Then reality hit me. I stood up, shaking my head. "No, no, no! I can't do that! You are vampires! Jacob, you are a werewolf! I can't! I mean, I want a family, but I can't do this…"
Alice moved towards me and looked into my eyes. "Bella, list to me. I can see the future. You are meant to be in our family. We wont stop you from spending time with the wolves, but Bella. You need a family. Please, we all need you. You will help our family as much as we will help you. Please."
Looking around to everyone, I sighed. I could see being in these people's lives. God, if I could be in a family, then my life would be better. Maybe I could handle my anger better, and maybe I could get over my trauma. Smiling, I looked around. "Okay, we can try."
