Chapter 11
BPOV
Edward was just about to get out of the car when I stopped him.
'Wait…. Should they know… about what I am, I mean?' I still had my shield down and I wasn't sure whether or not I should keep it that way…
'It's up to you love- stay however you feel comfortable. But there are no secrets in our family so we will have to show them when we explain everything.' He replied. Hmm… he was right. I decided to stay this way and we walked hand in hand up to his front door. We didn't even have time to open the door before I was tackled to the ground (literally) by a very excitable vampire who was talking a mile a minute.
'Oh my gosh! You're finally here! I've been waiting forever! Edward was being stubborn and wouldn't answer my calls so I just had to wait and I hate waiting!' She looked at me expectantly, as though waiting for an answer but I just blinked at her. She continued: 'Oh sorry!' and then proceeded to jump up and help me off the ground. I could see Edward glaring at her from the front door but I smiled at him to let him know it was okay and he got that goofy love-struck-teenager look on his face in response.
'So I'm guessing you're Alice? I love your shoes by the way!' Edward had said she liked fashion so I guessed this was a good way to make a good first impression. Plus I did really like her shoes. They were midnight blue peep-toe heels with a black sequined bow across the front.
'Thanks! There the new jimmy choo ones that come out next week! Oh my gosh we totally have to go shopping! There's this great store in…' I tuned her out and let her drag me into the house, winking at Edward as I passed. All his family was gathered in the living room. A man and a woman; presumably his parents; stood up to greet us, but stopped after a few steps, shocked by something. A big muscular man boomed from his place on the couch:
'I thought she was human… but she's a vamp too? Cool!' And then added on: 'Ow! Rosie, what was that for?' when the beautiful blonde next to him reached over to smack him across the back of the head. I guess I should introduce myself? But before I could Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and said:
'Everyone, this is my Bella. Bella this is Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and you've met Alice.' He indicated to each person as he said their name, and by this point Alice had danced over (yes literally danced) to sit on the lap of the blonde haired vampire that was covered in scars which Edward had said was Jasper. He looked slightly familiar with his intimidating appearance and with all of his scars I wondered if I knew him. The something occurred to me.
'Why did you call me Bella?' I asked Edward. He chuckled and replied:
'I thought that's what you preferred everyone to call you?' I nodded but mumbled 'yeah but not you' like and insolent child and he placed a kiss on the top of my head. By this point everyone seemed to come back to reality and Esme stepped forward and hugged me.
'It's so lovely to finally meet you dear. Poor Edward wouldn't stop talking about you. It was all 'Bella this' and 'Bella that.'' Edward groaned. I couldn't help but laugh.
'It's nice to meet you too. You have a lovely home! It's so light and open! Did you design it? Edward mentioned that you design houses in your spare time?'
'Oh thank you dear. Yes I did actually, but I'm thinking of redecorating, all the white in the house is getting rather dull.' Then Carlisle stepped forward and hugged me also, saying:
'It's lovely to meet you Bella. Please come and sit down.' I did as requested and Edward sat next to me. Once everyone was settled I decided it was time to clear a few things up.
'I believe I owe you all an apology. I am actually a vampire, and I didn't mean to hide my existence from you, but I've been doing that for so long now that it was second nature. I mean you no harm, and as you can see I also hunt animals so I will be no danger to the population of Forks.' Carlisle leant forward a fascinated look on his face.
'Oh there's no need to apologise Bella, we understand. But would you mind telling me, how is it that you can appear human? I mean from what I've been told you had a heartbeat and even smelt human!' He looked fascinated and I guessed that he would want to test this extent of my shield, which I didn't mind. It would be nice for someone to explain to me how it works. So I told him what I had told Edward, how I was only left a note (leaving out what the note said) and what I had discovered of my power, and that Edward couldn't seem to read my mind.
'Hmm… interesting… one would think it was merely an illusion, but with Edward not being able to read your mind, vampire or human, maybe it's more than that…' He sat back, looking deep in thought. And then Alice interrupted:
'Never mind all that! We're all dying to know! How did you and Edward meet? You knew each other before you were changed right?' Carlisle's head snapped up at this, as did Esme's.
'Wait. She's your Isabella?' he asked Edward. He turned to me and gazed into my eyes, looking happier than I had seen him since I came across him the first time I came to forks and murmured:
'Yes. Yes she is.' I smiled and pecked him on the lips.
'Do you want to tell the story or shall I?' I asked him.
'I will.' He replied.
That's it for this one guys, but don't panic! I'm working on the next chapter now, so if you review enough I'll post it tonight ;) Let's say…. What we get to 75 reviews? That's not that much? So yeah let me know what you think?
