I DON'T OWN TWIHLIGHT
PREVIOUSLY
Edward made his way over to his piano, getting away from his families chatter. He had been working on a new song he had started the night before, but he seemed to be having trouble finishing it. "Edward dear," Esme wanted to talk to him. "I know you are confused right now, but if you need someone to talk, all of us are more than willing to lend listen." The house got oddly quiet, indicating that everyone was listening to their conversation.
Edward could only reply, "I think I might be losing my love for Bella."
EDPov
"You are not losing your love for Bella" Jasper walked in to stand next to Esme. "Your feelings are just changing. You still love Bella but in a different way."
Edward stared at his brother wide eyed. He was not expecting this at all. "What about my feelings to... Kaya?"
Jaspers thought told him everything he needed to hear. He turned back to his piano finally figuring out the next verb.
Edwards's cell phone rang. When he saw who it was, he almost groaned. 'Bella'. "Bella, sorry I didn't get back to you but a family friend came over and I couldn't leave." He spoke immediately after he picked up the phone.
"Ummm…Edward we need to talk." Bella muttered. "A.S.A.P." She added.
'Hum. I think I know what this is about.' Edward thought to himself. "Ok Bella we'll talk after school" at her ok he hung up the phone and went back to his piano unaware of the miniature man making plans in the kitchen.
Still EDpov
"Hey grandpa I got a new packmember!" Edward had just finished the song when Kaya burst into the house dragging behind her…SETH CLEARWATER?
"Seth!" Leah and Lucas had come over to see what was going on. Actually, the whole family had come over. "What are you doing here?"
"I left Sam's pack and joined Kaya's. Isn't that great!" he looked very proud of himself.
'Ah great, more dogs' half the Cullen's thought. The other Cullen's were actually glad to have more family members.
No ones Pov
"Hn." Lucas addressed Kaya. "You know that having a pack brings a lot of responsibility, right." At her nod he continued. "To eyes of the mortal law they are responsible for their own actions," Lucas's eyes suddenly became serious. "But to the eyes of OUR laws you are solely responsible for their every action." The air had gotten colder. Everyone squirmed under his gaze, all except for kaya. Lucas was looking at Kaya the whole time, never braking eye-contact. "I am willing to take on any obstacles if it means staying with my friends." She was SMIRKING at him, not at all affected by the gaze that made vampires squirm!
"Besides I'm sure they are mature enough not to break the rules…oh yeah the rules are fairly simple. 1 keep the secret from humans. 2 if something happens that involves another pack or coven, you come to me. And 3…number 3 is the most important rule. It is the unbreakable law…you NEVER, EVER hurt an imprintee no matter with." She frowns a bit. "By pack laws that one is punishable by death."
Leah and Seth nodded their understanding.
"Very well, you should finish the story of how we ended up here."
Kaya made an 'O' shape with her mouth. The serious atmosphere disappeared, Lucas losing his scary look. She sat down on the sofa whit Seth at her feet. The Cullen's sat in various different places. Edward sat next to kaya again. "UMMM…where was I?" she asked looking unsure.
"You were at the part where you took a break after the book fell on you." Jasper supplied.
"Right…the first page had the name of a girl by the name of Esme Anne Plat
ESMES JOURNAL
1905
Dear, journal
Esme Anne Plat.
I am 22
I wanted to move west to become a school teacher, unfortunately I was pressured by my parents to stay and marry
My mother told me too keep a journal of my married life.
In an attempt to please my parents, I married Charles Evenson.
1906
My husband is an abusive drunkard.
I told my parents this, but they urged me to keep it a secret.
Had no choice but to endure it
Much to my relief, my husband was drafted during World War I, finally giving me some peace.
1919
When Charles returned the abuse returned with him.
Sometime after Charles return I found out that I was pregnant.
Not wanting my child to grow up in such a dangerous home I ran away to my cousin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
When Charles found my whereabouts, I ran away again, this time to Ashland and posed as a war widow.
In order to support myself, I became a school teacher, finally fulfilling my childhood dream
1921
My child was born only to die from lung fever 2 days later.
I no longer have any reason to live
This will be the last thing I put in my journal
I had attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff
When I was found, my condition was so bad that they didn't even attempt to revive me
They took me straight to the morgue were doctor Carlisle Cullen found me
He changed me into a vampire in order to save my life
I was not upset with his act; after all he gave me a second chance
I get to travel with him that's a great thing
He told me he has a son so I get a chance at being a mom
It also doesn't hurt that he is rather sexy.
The Cullen's stayed quiet for a long time.
Emmet finally broke the silence by asking Esme "You thought dad was sexy?"
