We drove in silence all the way back to the house. I was lost in my thoughts and assumed Edward was too. When we got to the house Edward opened my door and took my hand. I looked around and saw that Alice, Jasper, and Julian were already here. Sigh. Time for the torture to start.
We walked into the house, hand in hand. Everyone was sitting in the living room. Edward led me to a chair in the corner and placed me on his lap. I snuggled into him laying my head on his chest.
"So Julian how long have you been here?" asked Carlisle.
"I recently moved here about 6 months ago. I had to learn control first in order to be around humans." Julian said.
"Why decide to move here? This place is like boring and stuff." Emmet said. He clearly didn't like it here. Well I didn't either, but I wasn't one to complain.
"Because I don't want to attract a lot of attention to myself, and this town is the perfect place to lay low. I don't want the guy who made me to come looking for me." said Julian
"Why not?" asked Carlisle
"Lets just say he wasn't the nicest of all vampires. As I said before, he changed me and just left me. Before he changed me he told me how much the change would hurt. He didn't seem to care about me at all, so I'm don't want to see him again." said Julian
"That's understandable." said Esme. Clearly she felt compassion for this stranger already. Well that's fine but I am not going to trust him at all. Besides the fact that he keeps trying to get in between Edward and I, he just gives off a menacing vibe. To me at least.
"Well what made you decide to feed off of animals and not humans?" asked Carlisle
"I don't want to turn out like the guy who made me. I couldn't live with myself if I took human lives." said Julian sincerely. I looked at all of my family members individually. Alice looked at Julian with sadness, I guess she felt sad for him about how the guy who made him left. Emmet just looked bored with the whole subject. Jasper had a confused look on his face, maybe he was reading Julian's emotions. I'll have to ask him about that later. Esme still had that look of compassion on her face. Carlisle looked intrigued. I guess he was fascinated with Julian's choice to feed off of animals.
Well, everyone seems to like Julian except for Edward and I. I have a reason to dislike him, and so does Edward. But I still don't like how accepting the rest of the family is towards him. We just met him, we don't know who he is, he could be lying. Sigh.
"So are you in any classes with anyone here?" asked Carlisle
"Yes actually. I have chemistry with Bella." Julian said while looking straight at me with a secretive little smile. I heard and felt Edward growl from behind me. Finally Julian stopped staring at me and said,
"Well its nice to meet you all but I have to go. I have a job to get to."
"Where do you work at?" asked Alice.
"A garage, I fix cars. I have to do something to get money." He said laughing.
"Oh. I love fixing cars." said Rosalie. "Maybe I could help you out sometime."
"That would be cool. Ok see you guys later." Said Julian as he got up waved and walked to the door and left.
"Well he seems nice." said Esme.
"I don't trust him." blurted out Edward with anger in his voice.
"Well I was getting some mixed emotions from him." said Jasper
"Like what?" I asked.
" It just felt like he wasn't telling us something. Or holding something back from us." said Jasper
"Until we find any proof of his deceit, everyone is to be nice to him. Including you Edward." Carlisle said seriously looking straight at Edward.
"Fine." Edward grumbled.
Personally I felt the same way. I don't trust Julian at all and I'm not looking forward to chemistry tomorrow.
