Meet the Cullens
As soon as the nerves of meeting the Cullens came back to me I started bombarding Jared with questions.
"How many are there?"I nervously asked slowing my pace.
"Eight vampires, one half breed, and one shape shifter," Jared replied smoothly as he slowed down and matched my new pace, "There are a few other shape shifters that stop by occasionally but they aren't there constantly more like weekend visitors." That gave me something to think about.
"What do you mean by half breed and shape shifter," my nerves were getting a deeper hold on me now.
"Nessie was conceived by Bella while she was still human," Jared was almost struggling for words now as if he were embarrassed to be discussing this topic with me or didn't know how to describe it properly, "Edward was already a vampire, this makes Nessie half vampire and half human. The shape shifters are protectors of a nearby Indian tribe. They happened to choose the form of wolves."
"So they're like werewolves," I continued to question him.
"Not at all," Jared nearly stopped in his tracks he was so shocked by the comparison, "I've met plenty of werewolves in my time and they are much more wild, vicious, and disgusting than these wolves could ever be."I nearly stopped my inquiry here because of the horrific images flowing out of Jared's memories. The butterflies in my stomach had other ideas.
"Tell me about them," I commanded in a weak voice. Then I realized something. We were already there… (AN: That was a tempting end to a short chapter)
Jared looked back at me quickly before knocking on the door of the extravagant building in front of us. Less than a millisecond after he started to knock a short vampire with inky black hair opened the door. She stood a full head under me and was smiling at both of us with such warmth that I couldn't help but smile back even with my nerves. She was wearing what could only be described as an evening gown. The smile on my face faltered and a bell like laugh escaped her lips.
"Sorry," she apologized, "I just couldn't resist playing a little joke on you. I mean you are going to be so much fun I thought we might as well start off on a joking note. I'm Alice by the way." Then she hugged me before I could fully comprehend what she was telling me. The next moment we were through the door and surrounded by the rest of the family. This I was prepared for being surrounded by ten strangers, if I hadn't been I probably would have fled again. A soft but distinctly male chuckle escaped someone's lips and my head whipped over in the direction of a vampire who carried unusual bronze hair and a crooked smile. I slowly looked around at everyone else in room. All of them were scattered around rather than being formally surrounding us.
"Hello Jared," the oldest male vampire said, "It's been a while since the last time we saw you. How are things and who is your new friend?" He had a warm inviting smile and blonde hair that was neatly pulled back from his face.
"I'm Christabella," I informed him rather than being introduced, "All of you can call me Christi though." I slowly lifted my hand and he walked forward to shake with me.
"My name is Carlisle," he replied warm smile still in place, "and this is my family, my wife Eseme, Emmet and Rosalie, Jacob and Nessie, Alice and Jasper, Edward and Bella. I see you share in one of our habits. It's a pleasure to meet someone with the same values." He gestured to each of his family members and I smiled towards each of them.
"It is quite a relief," I replied starting to feel a warm blanket of comfort smothering the butterflies that were still planning on bursting out of my stomach. "I've never met another who shared one of my main values, other than Jared of course."
"One of them," Edward had caught my qualification, "If you don't mind my asking. What are the others?"
"Pray do tell if you don't mind," Alice said as she bounded toward me from Jasper's side. Yes, pray and do tell. I thought to myself. Lord, I've only just met these people and I now have an opportunity to share you with them. Please allow me to share with them in the way you wish me to. Amen. I looked back up to see pleading eyes on everyone but Edward who seemed confused. (An: hmm… why would Edward be confused…)
"You don't have to tell us now dear," Eseme murmured taking a step closer.
"Oh, no I would love to tell you all about my values and beliefs. This just may take some time. Perhaps we should sit down," I said remembering that not everyone was a vampire and they might not be comfortable standing for a couple of hours.

AN: The next one will be a dozy to write. Finally I've gotten the Cullens into it for you. I wonder if anyone can guess why Edward is confused… Did you like how he couldn't help but laugh when she was thinking about fleeing from their sheer numbers? That's all. I'll figure out some sort of reward for if you guess why Edward was confused right. You can have up to three guesses but they have to all be in the form of one review.
