One - Cody Simpson

I carried Isabella far away; I didn't want them to be able to find us. Emmett and Jasper followed me graciously, and I was pleased by the distance we covered in a short amount of time. I was travelling faster than them, but they caught up when I stopped in the field before the large chateau that I was heading for. It was far enough away from the Volturi and our father that I knew they wouldn't find us. My father would never think that we would ever come out here.

I let Isabella out of my arms in the cloud-covered field. Thankfully, no sun was present; that would be another thing I would have to explain. I kept her steady as her feet touched the ground. Her knees were shaking slightly, and her eyes were wide with fright. I kept my hands on her shoulders until Emmett and Jasper showed up with Rosalie and Emmett. Once Jasper and Emmett put their girls down, Isabella pulled away from me. She looked frightened as she took a few steps back. Alice and Rosalie joined her, backing away from me and my brothers. They locked arms in an attempt to stick together and stay away from us.

I was reading Rosalie and Alice's minds. Rosalie was terrified of us, shaking at the knees and arms uncontrollably. Alice was calmer but still worried because she thought that we were going to kill her and her friends. When I tried to read Isabella's mind, my mind came up blank; I couldn't read her mind. It was the only time in many, many years that I have never been able to read the mind of someone else. I was confused; was Isabella different than the rest of humanity? Was I changing? All these questions circled my mind. I read the minds of many people on the street every day. Why was Isabella any different?

I took a step forward with my brothers, my arms outstretched. Isabella and her friends took another step back. I put my hands down, knowing that I was unable to communicate with them like that. I touched Emmett and Jasper on the shoulders, pushing them back slightly. I took a step forward; they didn't copy my movement.

I stood directly in front of Isabella, trying desperately to read her mind. I knew that my face was in deep concentration. I tried and tried to read her mind. I needed to get a look inside that beautiful mind of hers and see what she was thinking. I was unable to tell if she was scared of us. By the look on her face, she looked strong, but looks are only one-half of it. She may look strong on the outside, but there may be more beneath the surface.

She stared at me with the same amount of concentration and curiosity that I was emitting. She let go of her friends and took a step forward. Alice and Rosalie linked arms with one another. Isabella looked confused and curious at the same time. She was mere feet from me when I heard her beautiful voice.

Bella's Point Of View:

I took a step back, away from Edward, as Rose and Alice grabbed my arms. We held onto each other like we had been doing recently. I didn't know what time it was or even what day it was, but we were in a field. The brothers were walking closer to us; we took a step back. Edward had his arms outstretched like he was trying to reach for us. I instinctively took a step back; I wasn't going to trust him, no matter how perfect he was perceived to be.

I looked at his face, deep in concentration. I was wondering why he was focusing on me. His hands were back down at his sides. He briefly touched his brothers, pushing them back. They stayed where they were as Edward took another step forward. This time, he was completely focused on me. It was like he didn't even see Rose and Alice. I was suddenly hypnotized by his golden eyes. I took a step forward. His face was still concentrating on something; I didn't know what though. My curiosity was getting the best of me.

"What the hell are you so focused on?" I asked, breaking the silence that had formed.

Edward seemed to jump out of his trance when I spoke. He stared at me, his eyes taking every part of me in. He looked at my face, then my torso, then my legs. It was creepy; it was actually interesting. It wasn't like he was trying to check me out. He was looking at me like I was the most beautiful creature in the world. His mouth was partially open, but no words were coming out. He looked hypnotized by my presence, but I couldn't understand why. I had every reason to be amazed by his beauty but not the other way around. I wasn't anything special; I was ordinary. Edward was far from ordinary; he was a vampire.

"I would like an answer." I spoke to Edward again. "It's the least you can give me."

His eyes, which were staring at my neck, suddenly focused on my face. He looked directly in my eyes, soaking up my words.

"Isabella," Edward said softly through his soft-looking lips. I almost fainted when he said my name. It was so romantic when he said it in his light Italian accent.

I waited for him to continue with his thought. "Yes, Edward?" I tried to keep my voice from shaking.

"Oh." He paused. "It's not safe where we were. I decided that it would be better if we brought all three of you here."

I forgot that Alice and Rose were here with us. The conversation and intoxication by Edward seemed to personal; I felt like we were alone. I turned around and saw Alice and Rose still standing behind me where I'd left them. They had their arms locked together, me missing from the puzzle.

I turned back around and saw Emmett and Jasper now staring at me. But when I looked closer, I saw that Emmett was staring at Rose, Jasper was staring at Alice, and Edward's eyes were back on me. I looked closer and saw that he was staring at my neck again. I took a step back when I saw his mouth open again and his tongue lightly touch his lips. Edward immediately noticed what he did wrong and closed his mouth. He took a step forward, reaching out for me again. I turned around, not letting him touch me, and grabbed Rose and Alice by their arms.

I pulled them away from Edward and his brothers. I didn't know if they were following us, but I didn't care. I would try to get away from them anyway; they didn't look as strong as the Volturi did. We ran up the hill together, not falling, as I saw a chateau appear in the hills. I kept running, but I was engrossed in the picture-perfect house. My rate slowed down, as did Rose and Alice's. I eventually came to stop as we were a few yards away from the castle-like house. I noticed a quick movement in the house. I took a step back, but Edward was right behind me. I gasped as he put his hand over my mouth.

"There is nothing for you be afraid of. We will not hurt you, Alice, or Rosalie. Trust us. We are nothing like our father."

I couldn't help but believe him. What were my other choices? Edward walked around me and began towards the house. Emmett and Jasper followed him but not before looking at Rose and Alice. As they contined forward, I exchanged glances between my friends. Rose's face was terrified, and Alice was moderately worried but intrigued. I shrugged at them as I followed the brothers. Alice and Rose flanked my sides.

"Aren't you worried about what's going to happen in here?" Rose whispered, her voice shaking.

"If this is how I am meant to die, then so be it." I figured that was the best answer to all my problems here.

"At least we'll be dying surrounded by hot guys," Alice said, snickering.

I smiled as the brothers walked into the house. We followed them up the stairs, careful of where we stepped. I slowly opened the door again, looking around for the brothers. They were standing in the living room, looking at us curiously. Emmett had a goofy grin on his face as Rose walked into the room. She looked at him briefly; then she quickly looked at the ground, blushing. I grinned as I heard footsteps behind me. My back tensed up as the footsteps came closer. Then I saw a medium-height woman walk around the three of us and walk over to Edward and his brothers. She had a bubbly feeling about her; her face was heart-shaped. She had red-tinted hair, wavy and voluminous. She smiled at us, her gold eyes glowing.

"Who did my sons bring to see me?" she asked, her voice higher than I imagined, "This is completely unexpected."

"Mum," Emmett said, "These are Rosalie, Alice, and Isabella."

"Three women for three vampires." The word came so easy to her. "Your singers."

"We are assuming so," Jasper said, "Yes."

"Well, they are very beautiful. I wouldn't expect any less from my sons."

"We are here, you know?" Alice spoke up.

"I'm sorry," the woman said, "What a poor host I am. I am Esme Cullen. I am the mother of the three men you see here." She sniffed the air. "And I see that you have met their father already." She growled the words.

"We have," I said strongly, "He was...very interesting."

"I've hated him since he changed my sons and myself." She was angry. "We will not talk about him anymore as long as I am in this house."

There was silence until Alice broke it. "Are you their biological mother?"

"I am. I gave birth to these wonderful men. I am proud to be their mother." She smiled, the mood in the room getting lighter.

"How can you be proud of them?" Rose exclaimed, "They are killers."

Esme's face darkened. "They are nothing like their father. Haven't they told you that? They do not kill humans, or they most certainly would have already killed you three. They only feed on the blood of animals. They do not believe in killing humans as a game as their father does."

It was quiet in the large, clean living room as Esme's smile appeared on her face again. "I'm sorry that I lost it there. I just don't appreciate those that make assumptions about something that they know nothing about."

Esme smiled and walked out of the room. I heard a cabinet open in the kitchen and the refrigerator door close. I smelled cinnimon in the house immediately. Rose, Alice, and I seemed to loosen up as the fragrance of food floated through the house.

"I'm sorry about our mother's forwardness," Edward said, stepping forward, "She loves us too much." I just nodded, not knowing what to say. "You will be safe here. Even if our father finds out that you are here, he won't travel the distance and face our mother." I heard humming in the kitchen. "Don't be fooled, but she can be a monster when she wants to be."

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I love writing this story :)
