I wanted to go downstairs and talk and laugh and just try to be apart of the family but I wasn't a member of this family, I had no family to speak of accept the teachers, and students of the school where I was raised at since before I could remember.
I tried to remember something, anything of my parents but I couldn't. Professor Xavier acted as in my best interest at times when I was to afraid to leave my room or when I was very young and frighten one of the other older students let me sleep with them, as for parental love forget it. I don't know the feel of a mother's embrace or a father's advice and protection,
I curled up on the spare bed that the Cullens' had given me as Logan and I couldn't find a hotel without getting disapproving looks from the people in this small town, it didn't help that I didn't look anything like Logan to act as his daughter or younger sister. So we were staying with the Cullens, who was something more then just nice or mutants themselves, they were supernatural. Vampires.
Someone knocked on the door,
"Come in," I answer
Esme came in with a tray "I noticed that you didn't eat anything today, so I thought I would bring you a sack and some hot tea,"
I sat up and looked at her confused, no one cared for me before at least not in the way Esme was treating me with almost maternal care,
Esme smiled at me, and set the tray down, "I didn't know what you like so, I asked Logan and he told me you like hot turkey on wheat bread,"
"Thank you, Mrs. Cullen." I states softly feeling touched that she would go to the trouble of even talking to Logan to get my favorite lunch meal.
"Esme, only the teachers call me Mrs. Cullen when Carlisle and I have to act as parents and sign the others up for school." Esme states,
"Alright, Esme." I agree and and took a bite of the sandwich and nearly sighed in bliss,
"You like it?" Esme asks,
"Yes, it's very good." I answer, I noticed the tea was my special blend of herbs for my headaches, "Logan gave you a packet from my bag,"
"Yes, he said it helped you with your empathic headaches," Esme replies,
I didn't know why she cared so much, "Why?"
She stared at me unblinking
"Why do you care so much for me?" I ask "I don't deserve it,"
"Yes, you do. You're part of this family now even if you aren't a vampire. You're like an older sister to Nessie, seeing as Seth and Jacob are brothers in all but blood," Esme states, "You should really give him a chance, it's starting to hurt him when you're not around,"
I was hurting Seth, I didn't want to hurt anyone. I finished my lunch and stood up and went to the closet that now held my stuff or what little of it I had, and got out a change of clothes and my bag of toiletries.
"Thank you for telling me," I state then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After I finished I put on clean underclothes and blue jeans and sweater, since the first few days of being here Alice had gone through my personal things and nearly had a panic attack of lack of clothes, I had with me. But then she hasn't seen my closet at the mansion, I suppressed a smile at that.
"What are you smiling for?" Rose asks, in a unconcerned way but I could tell she was curious
"Why should I not be happy, Rose. I just had a wonderful shower without having to wait until midnight." I answer "And a great meal,"
I skipped over to where Emmett and Jazz were playing a video game, "I play the winner!"
I ended up playing against Emmett, and I beat him too smugness coated my empathic awareness and couldn't help but send it to Emmett, to let him know I was gloating about beating a vampire at something.
"I want a rematch!" Emmett exclaims,
"Whatever you..." I was going to agree when something caught my awareness. Suddenly all my attention was on the forest that surrounded the house,
"Oh great the dog is here," I heard Rose moan which earned a laugh from Emmett,
I felt like I couldn't breathe when I saw the sandy colored wolf come out of the forest along with Jacob's massive form,
By some unspoken signal or something Seth looked up and gave me a wolfy smile, as he saw I was watching from the window.
I couldn't help it, I put myself into a light trance and sent out a wave of welcoming to the two wolves,
I waited until both wolves phased back and entered the house as humans, I went over to Seth, and hugged him. Got a jolt of surprise but then an out pouring of love as he hugged me back,
"So where's your uh...Logan?" Seth asks as he was looking around for Wolverine,
"Out at a bar, he left me in the care of the Cullens," I answer "Not like he had much of a choice seeing as I'm underage."
"He took the motorcycle," Jasper states, "But he's welcome to it, after all I rarely use it,"
"Good thing for him, that is mutant power is healing," I state, "The only thing you'll have to worry about is replacing the bike,"
I took Seth's hand and lead him and myself outside where we sat on the porch,
"I'm sorry for the way, I've been acting," I apologize "It's not that I don't find this even weirder then weird, I just never had a sable life,"
Seth placed his hot hand on top of mine, "You can tell me anything, you're an empath, you know I won't harm you,"
"I know," I whispered knowing he could hear me, then I looked up at the dull gray clouds that threatened to bring rain again to the small town of Forks, "My story isn't like most mutants, I can't remember ever having parents. I was left on the doorstep to the Xavier's School for Gifted youngsters, in other words I was dropped off at the mutant school." I remember seeing the man in the wheel chair and being frighten of him for the first time, "I was an empathic mutant at a young age, before I even about my other powers, I guess my birth parents got rid of me because of it."
Seth started to tremble and I calm him down, but pulling him into rapport
"Seth, it's okay. I don't blame my birth parents, I just have a lot of older siblings that aren't my blood. It's like how you feel about your brothers." I explain "Just think if your mom wasn't kind and threw you and Leah out for turning into wolves, and you'll understand how mutants feel about being different,"
"It just that's it's wrong to something like that," Seth states looking me in the eyes,
"I know, but I know what side of the mutant vs human thing, I belong on, I was raised with Professor Xavier's morals about human life. Maybe someday in the far future there wouldn't need to be a reason for everyone to hide who they are," I reply, I knew I should be looking for that mutant that disappeared but I felt like it wasn't needed like it was some cosmic way of getting me out here to meet Seth, but what about Logan?
"Hmm...I think I want to test out that theory," I state after a while,
"what theory?" Seth asks confused
"I want Logan to have someone to be his other half, he has suffered far worse then I have, but only way he could get what he needs if he finds someone who is immortal like he is,"
"Logan's immortal?" Seth asks shocked
I nod, "Yes, Logan's genetic mutation is healing along with the claws, so it's impossible to tell how old he really is and the fact he can't remember anything of his past."
"I think I have just the person to test out that theory on," Seth states, "But getting them together is the hard part, my sister wouldn't willingly come over here,"
"Leave that to me, Seth. Logan's over protectiveness can be used to my liking," I reply, smirking.
