Scarlett's POV
My room, well mine and Gabe's but it's more mine. Beautiful colors are draped from everywhere and a large bed sat in the middle of the room. Esme knows I love beds, she remembered so much. A large wooden table sat in the corner, mine. I walk over and carved in it was an S&L. I run my fingers over the letters. Lilith and I had carved them in, it had made our mother so mad.
Lilith. I hadn't thought of her in a while, we were so close in age, a year apart. Lilith was the beautiful one, she had beautiful red hair and the bluest eyes, her smile lit up everywhere she went and made all the boys follow her. Lilly was my sister, mine and now she was gone.
"I thought you'd like it. I had it imported from a museum along with a few other things." Esme said. I don't know how long she'd been there but I know she wanted me to open the drawer. Inside was a brush, mirror, and a locket. All had once belonged to me, except for the locket that was my mothers. I pick it up and be very careful it's been to many years and the metal has to be weakened, I open it and inside I find Lilly's beautiful smiling face and on the other side mine.
"How did you get these?"
"I pulled a few strings."
I look on the inside of the table drawer it is blacked from the flames that nearly destroyed it but I cant help but to wonder who saved it. I want to put it on but I don't want to break it but before I could put it back Esme had it in her hands and was clasping it around my neck.
"I put a new chain on it." I felt it and Esme laughed. "but don't worry I kept the old one." I relaxed.
Cars pull in and Esme smiles and together we walked downstairs. Carlisle walks in first with a huge grin he kissed Esme, then Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett, Edward, and Bella. Gabe enters last and smiles.
"New jewelry?" Rose asks and I nod.
"Lilly?"
I nod again. Rose was the only one I told about my sister besides Carlisle, Esme. Gabe of course already knew her. Rose kind of reminds me of her, maybe that's why I stayed close to her.
Bella is looking at me and I can't help not wanting to stick out my tongue. I curse my inner young. I'm the youngest in the house and the second oldest, Gabe has me beat in the oldest category.
Gabe blocks my view of her and takes the locket, he open's it and smiles. Before he can say anything Rose grabs my arm and drags me away.
"What?"
She points at a mirror and my nose is bleeding, we run to the bathroom and grab a few towels by now I look like I'm crying and my tears are blood, blood drips from my ears, mouth, nails.
"Go get Carlisle!" I don't know who Rose is yelling at but I don't care. Rose and I stand in the bathtub so we wont ruin Esme's towels.
Bella's POV
It's a weird moment walking in on a bloody mess and I can't seem to shake the image. Emmett was going to check on them and I offered, I don't think I'm going to do that again. We all sit on the couches, waiting and one question is bothering me.
"I thought vampires don't bleed."
Suddenly all eyes are on me and I wish I would have just asked Edward in privet.
"We don't, and we don't know why she does." Jasper answered. "Her and Gabe are almost a different breed."
"Jasper."
Its Rosalie, she gives him a look like he's said to much but really he hasn't said anything that I couldn't figure out by the green eyes. Edward walks in and hands me a cup of coffee.
"Rose Bella will have to know everything eventually." Edward says.
"Then I think we should wait until Scarlett feels comfortable."
Edward doesn't know the story ether and I know it's bugging him as well. Carlisle, Esme, and Gabriel enter and sit in any extra places.
"She's resting."
"Vampire's don't sleep." It's out of my mouth before I can stop it.
"Yes Bella we don't." It's Gabriel that speaks. His eyes are creepy. "Anymore…questions?"
I do but I wonder if it's safe to ask, I look around but it's Rosalie that catches my eye, I don't know what they say but for once it's not completely full of hate.
"Where do you come from?"
"Caledonia."
"Where?"
"Scotland."
I nod my head.
"I was born in Ireland though, to a group of travelers." He pauses. "Gypsies. We went to Scotland when I was young and just traveled along there. My parent's were thief's, I'm not ashamed to say it, they robbed people. It was when we reached a little town when I was 20 that I truly found my place. I found a job, taking care of castles cattle. that's when I saw her, her dark brown hair shown and a smile on her face that said that she was daring. I fell in love instantly. that's the moment when I learned though that she was to be married to a man named…"
"That's enough Gabe." Scarlett cut him off and instant longing to hear the rest flooded over me.
Gabe smiled then got up and walked over to her. She looked sick, weak and human.
"We're going hunting." Gabe stated.
"Ok, stay away from the creek just in case."
Gabe nods his head and they left together. I look around, everyone just sat but I knew they were talking.
"Is Bella in danger around them?"
"EDWARD!" Esme was shocked but it was a question that I kinda wanted an answer too also.
"What! We don't know any of their past except for what they want us to know."
"I know the whole story Edward and do you think I would let them hurt anyone, especially Bella?" Carlisle said.
"I don't know, would you?" Edward was mad and Carlisle looked taken aback. "I'm taking Bella home."
He was mad and I can't help to wonder if Edward had read something in Carlisle's mind that set him off. Am I safe?
Please R&R. I hope you are enjoying my story so far. =D I love to here from you.
