"Um.. ok." Aria lifted the lid off, and without looking, took a little sip. She immediately loved it, and within seconds, had gulped down the entire thing. It was salty and warm and delicious.
"This is amazi-" she was about to say, but she suddenly remembered something important.
Chapter 8
"What's wrong?" Esme asked carefully. She was standing next to Edward.
Aria stared at the counter top in front of her, before she looked up at Bella and Edward.
"Have I been here before?" Aria asked, looking around (A/N: they Cullens moved away from Forks after putting her up for adoption, and now they moved back to Forks into their old house).
"Wh-why would you ask that?" Bella asked, still a bad liar. She glanced at Edward, Esme and Carlisle before fixing her stare at Aria. They all gazed intently at her.
"It just...feels like...i've been here before. I have some sort of...memories here." Aria said suspiciously, looking around.
"Oh, that's very interesting." Carlisle said, standing up. "How about we go into the living room."
Aria got up and followed Carlisle to the door, Edward, Bella, and Esme following. Right as Carlisle was about to open the door, Alice burst through the door, beaming.
"Come on! Lets go watch a movie!" she said excitedly, grabbing Aria's hand and leading her to the living room. Esme stayed in the kitchen to make popcorn.
Emmett was sitting at the end of the couch, Rosalie was lying on the couch with her head in his lap, Jasper was sitting on the other couch next to Emmett, (A/N: The couch's are lined up around the TV like this : l_l and the TV is at the top.). Alice sat on Jasper's lap, Carlisle sat at the other end of the couch from them, Bella and Edward sat next to each other on the last couch.
Aria stayed standing, before looking around.
"Where's Ava?" Aria asked Rosalie. Rosalie pointed to the playpen at the end of the couch where Ava was sleeping peacefully. Aria still stood awkwardly, before sitting on the end of the couch, so that she was between Carlisle and Bella.
Esme came in with a big bowl of popcorn, put the bowl in Aria's lap and sat down next to Carlisle.
"So how bout' a horror movie?" Alice said slyly, looking at Aria.
"I don't think so Alice, I don't want all of you having nightmares." Esme told her sternly. Emmett tried not to burst out laughing.
"None of us have nightmares mom, we just don't want Aria to have nightmares." Rosalie said.
"You don't have nightmares do you?" Alice asked, everyone turned to look at her. Aria got nervous on all the attention. A blush creeped up on her cheeks.
"Um... it depends on what it's about." She said, unsure.
"Well, how about the Ring?" Alice said, getting up.
"Sure." Aria said, smiling.
"Ugh, stupid dvd player." Alice grumbled, sitting on the floor next to the TV, waiting for the TV to turn on.
"So..." Emmett started, looking toward Aria. "What are you scared of?" He grinned mischievous.
"Um..." Aria said nervously, looking at the floor with a frown.
"Don't worry you, you don't have to answer him sweetie." Esme said sweetly.
"Oh no, it's ok. It's just that i've never really told anyone my biggest fear. But um... I'll tell all of you as long as you don't think it's ridiculous." Aria warned, looking at all of them in turn. They all nodded.
"Don't worry, we won't" Bella said softly, reaching over to squeeze her hand, then letting go.
"It's just basically from my nightmares." Aria said slowly. "It's where a really pale guy with crimson red eyes, and black hair. In all my dreams he's wearing a black cloak. And he murders everyone i've ever cared about." Aria's eyes filled with tears, but she continued. "And I always feel like when I wake up in the middle of the night, that he's in the shadows, watching me..." she drifted off, remembering all the nights she'd woken up screaming.
"That's awful." Rosalie said, looking around at everyone. Everyone but Aria knew who that man was.
"Oh yay, the dvd is starting!" Alice said in fake excitement
