Laila: Chapter 13 (Meeting the Cullen's)

The sun was out and I decided to go out in the porch to get some fresh air.

Bella decided not train me today because today was the day that her family was to arrive. I suddenly became nervous at the thought because I didn't know what was going to be their reaction.

I cleared my thoughts and only focused on the sun and the air that were hitting me directly on my face. It was such a beautiful day and I was ready to meet my new family.

When I was about ready to close my eyes two men approached me and grabbed me with an incredible force.

I turned to look at them and didn't recognize their faces, "Who are you?" I said. Struggling to free myself from their grip, but they managed to keep me under control. Soon I saw more people appear and saw that they had a wolf at their side. I wrinkled my nose as the animal came closer.

I continued to struggle and then I kept thinking that I was strong enough to take them down. I can take them all down, all of them, if I can only let go, I thought to myself.

"Take her inside said one of them."

Both of the men that were holding me did just that. I continued to struggle. I managed to hiss at them as loud as I could, however, they too did the same.

My mind kept rambling with ways to let go and fight them all. I wasn't going to let them kill me and I was making that clear as I continue to struggle against the two men's grip.

Suddenly I heard Bella come down and as soon as she spoke I knew she was standing in front of her family.

She asked them to let me go but they wouldn't listen. I then heard a voice; I then realized that he was her husband because he was warning her to keep her safe.

Bella asked him to tell the men to let me go, but he wouldn't. However, as soon as she said that she had created me they all became incredibly surprised.

Before I could think anything I saw Bella's husband run across the room until he reached Bella, and they were gone in seconds.

I became incredibly frightened. Bella was gone and I realized that Bella's family was ready to fight me. I had to speak to them and tell them that I was not going to harm them.

"Please let me go," was all I managed to get out of my mouth.

Their grip only became tighter and I felt that the shorter guy was the one holding me with a stronger grip. I moved my arm slightly but managed to pull him forward.

"Let her go Jasper, she's no harm." I heard a voice say. I looked around to see who had spoken. I noticed it was the girl with the short hair.

"Are you crazy too Alice?"

Said the boy whom Alice had just called Jasper, Alice once again spoke getting closer to where we were standing.

"She's no danger. Like Bella said she transformed her, and she is well under control. I saw everything back in London she's been with Bella for two weeks now, since the day we left. Just let her go."

The men did as Alice told them after she explained to them I was no danger.

Alice offered me her hand and I took it, "Don't worry about them they won't hurt you." She told me in a reassuring voice.

Nevertheless, I still felt that they were defensive and I decided to speak, so they would know I didn't mean any harm.

"I will not hurt any of you. I'm here because Bella saved my life and she has been training me to have control."

Once I said that, I saw everybody's face relax and the then I became frightened and surprised when the wolf transformed himself into human. However, he smell still kept my nose wrinkled and I was more focused on that.

Alice was still by my side when the blond haired man approached me. I couldn't help but notice how handsome he was. He was ready to speak to me when Bella and I assumed Edward came back from upstairs.

Bella looked directly to the spot where I was being held back initially, but when she didn't see me there she soon turned to the center of room.

Alice went directly at her and so did the other girl who had been standing behind the wolf boy who followed behind her. They both hugged her and then Alice reassured Bella that she had already explained to all that everything was alright.

When Alice said that Edward began to speak, "You knew he asked." Alice explained to him that she had seen vision back in London.

As Alice and Edward were arguing the blond haired men came closer again and asked Bella to introduce me.

Bella called me to her side and told everyone that I was Laila.

I managed to smile, then Bella asked to not be afraid and I managed to relax. Bella than began to introduce me to everyone.

Bella pointed at everyone while telling their names.

"This here is Carlisle" she told me pointing at the blond haired man. ------"He is everybody's father."

Bella continued, "The big guy here Emmett." I took a step backwards as he approached.

"Don't be scared of me new little sister," he said with a charismatic voice. I managed to smile at him.

"Next to him is Rosalie his wife," Bella said. The blond haired girl had to be the most beautiful person I had ever seen. She managed a smile but nothing else.

"And of course this is Alice and the guy next to her is Jasper."

Alice came and gave me a hug but Jasper still was very defensive ready to attack at any moment.

Bella then took me directly to where her husband and I assumed her daughter were standing.

"I saved the best for last," she said to me in a quiet voice.

"Laila this is Edward my husband and here next to him is my lovely daughter Renesmee and standing next to her is Jacob."

I smiled at all of them and they returned my smile with such enthusiasm.

I spoke quietly to Bella and asked her why the boy next to her daughter smelled so bad. She smiled and assured me that she was going to explain that later. I saw that Edward smiled too and then I remember that he was able to read my mind.

I felt a great happiness that Bella's family accepted me and even though I noticed that Jasper still was unsure he would soon realize that I wasn't dangerous.
