In 1950, one of the biggest events in our lives since each other found us. Literally. Alice and Jasper came one normal fall morning—early November. It was windy and cool out, but not freezing. Leaves swirled around in tornado like formations, and trees swayed slowly back and forth in unison. The whole scene looked like a portrait. That particular afternoon, Emmett and I were walking back from hunting in the surrounding forests, of course expecting to find Carlisle, Esme, and Edward. We noticed the strong scent of others long before we glimpsed the pair. As we got closer, we realized that they were talking with our family, calmly. Not a threat…I started hearing shards of the conversation. Mostly coming from the little pixie like girl. The male was more quiet. They both, I noted, had golden eyes similar to that of our family. The lean, blonde boy had a tinge of red in his, barely noticeable. The pixie was small—tiny, like a little porcelain doll. She waltzed when she walked, gracefully. He short, midnight black hair stuck out in every direction, but it didn't look at all unkempt. The man, who I assumed was her mate, was like her opposite in looks, yet they complemented each other beautifully. His sandy blonde hair curled around his pointed chin perfectly, and he was muscular, yet quite lean, average height. His most dominating feature was definitely the scars covering his shoulders and neck—I recognized them. Vampire bites. How many fights had he been in? He had won all of them, clearly. Still, I wasn't frightened. Carlisle and Esme were happily talking with them on the porch. As we neared, Edward noticed our surprised stares.
"Hey, Rose, Emmett…this is Alice," he gestured to the pixie, "and Jasper" Alice waved eagerly, and Jasper smiled, nodding in friendly acknowledgement.
"They will be living with us." Carlisle explained, rather simply. Alice was practically bouncing, totally excited.
"I have visions…and I saw you guys for the longest time…you and Jasper…I finally found him, and then, I knew we had to find you…" Alice sang
"Oh…cool! You two should get the room across from ours…it has a huge bathroom!" Emmett babbled excitedly. What?! I didn't know these people, and they were coming to live at my house? Just like that? Besides, Alice was a wee bit hyper…little too hyper. I mean, they seemed nice enough, but I was perfectly happy with my situation (well, as happy as I was going to get) without them involved. I've never liked change…
"Rose…I know that you must be wondering why I would walk in on your life like this…but I've seen it…you'll learn to love me!" she quipped. Ha. Hopefully…of course, I did, pretty quickly, too. It became nice to have a…sister. I never had one as a human, but had always wanted one. With her and Emmett around, my life…existence…turned into a strangely comical routine. Different every day, yet vaguely similar. And Jasper's power was nice to have as an asset—manipulating emotions, sensing emotions, etc. He never failed to calm me when I got stressed, as I often did (still do). Now, I had what can only be described as a big 'happy' family…but I knew I was missing something. A child of my own. Cursed, forever, I would never have one. Edward smiled crookedly at me, his eyes sympathetic. It must be hard to hear my self pitying thoughts constantly…
