I felt like I was doing the walk of shame as I went into the kitchen in my pajamas that I got on after Esme's talk. I walked in nervously as Esme placed a plate in front of me at the tale. I sat down in a rush and looked down at my food, feeling guilty she made it for me. I heard her walk over to me and I felt a kiss in my hair.
"Don't worry about it." She replied to me as she stroked some of my hair.
"I can't help it mom, I felt like I did a horrible thing, what if they hate me for it?" I asked in a scared tone.
"Your family would never hate you." She replied back to as we heard someone walking in. I looked up and saw it was Oz and Carlisle coming from the living room. I saw Carlisle, he didn't seem mad at all as Oz came over to me and wrapped his arms around me from behind. I craned my head up to touch his forehead with his as Carlisle went to Esme.
"Are you alright?" he asked me in a whisper as I breathed him in, feeling better already.
"I'm scared." I admitted as I saw him look down at me with both concern and loving eyes.
"WHat has happened is in the past now." Carlisle said aloud as we both looked over to him. I wanted to run over and hug him, to thank him for not killing me or anything. But I stayed in my seat.
"All we ask is for you two to be more careful, protection wise." Carlisle replied to the both of us, who nodded out heads in agreement.
"Of course, thank you dad." I said to him in a smile, he smiled back at me and wrapped a arm around Esme.
"I trust this won't be a regular routine for the both of you." Esme said to us in a worried tone. I was about to answer when Oz beat me to it.
"No it won't be Esme. I promise you, we'll take more time into consideration." Oz said aloud as I squeezed his hand that was on my shoulder. I smiled from his remark. Of course we wanted to wait a bit longer until we did that again, but we both did regret a single moment. We then heard the rest of the family walking into the kitchen from the living room. I saw my siblings, minus Edward, looking at the both of us with not grim or saddened faces. In fact they looked normal to me. I was scared thought, what if they didn't like what I did.
"We already talked to them about what happened last night, so there is no need to press them into saying anymore." Carlisle told them all as he and Esme walked out of the room and to the garage. So we were left there in silence, my four siblings looking at Oz and myself. I waited for someone to say something, anything to break the silence between us.
Then I saw Emmett crack a smile, Alice also smiling as well from her spot next to Jasper. Then Jasper nodded his head to the both of us and Rosalie raised her eyebrow. Then Emmett held his hand palm up to Jasper and turned his head to him with a smirk on his face.
"You owe me fifty bucks." Great, my brothers were betting on my virginity?! I shot up from my spot, seeing Oz back off a bit and I looked at my two brothers in fury.
"You two were betting on my virginity?" I asked them in a raised tone. I saw Emmett look at me in horror as I was about to go to him when Rosalie held up her hands and stood in front of her husband.
"Hey, calm down!" She said to me as I felt two hands on my arms pulling me back gently. I was still fuming from what I saw between my two brothers.
"I saw you two in the future in this exact position." Alice informed me as I looked over at her.
"You did?" I asked in a softer tone.
"Yes I did, but I thought it was going to be way into the future, I mean way into the future." Alice explained to me as I eased up in my fury.
"The boys were just seeing how long until you two....well...." Rosalie trailed off, trying to find the right words to say.
"Did it?" Emmett suggested in his grin and Rosalie slapped him upside the head.
"In lamest terms, yes. It was rude and uncalled for, I apologize." Jasper said aloud from Alice's side. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair.
"Same here, I'm sorry Harp." Emmett replied, rubbing the sore spot on his head from where ROsalie slapped him. I just nodded my head as I felt Oz trying to relax me by rubbing my shoulders. Alice in then froze in her spot and had a dazed look in her eyes.
"Alice?" Jasper asked her, resting a hand on her shoulder and giving a look of concern. I looked over to her as well as she moved again with a small smile on her face.
"The Denali clan is here." She replied in a smirk, a knock coming from the front door a second later. Rosalie walked off with Emmett following her as they went for the door. I looked over to Oz and he gave me questioning look.
"Are they they vampire family you told me about?" He asked me and I nodded, ruffling his hair as we heard murmured voices coming our way. Jasper and Alice moved out of the way as Rosalie and Emmett walked in, being followed by Kate, Tanya, Carmen and Eleazar. THey still looked as beautiful as the last time I saw them when I was sixteen. Kate with her long blond hair and elegant face, Tanya with her spirit and strawberry blond hair that was curly and vibrant, Carmen who her dark hair and dark skin, thought it was still pale, and Eleazar with his height and dark hair. I saw Oz next to me take a step back as Eleazar opened his arms in front of me with a smile of his face.
"Ah, Harper. You have grown quite a big since I have seen you last, and you still look radiant." Eleazar replied to me in his elegant tone. I got up from my spot and walked over, giving him a nice warm hug. Eleazar was always so nice to me since I first met him and the rest of the clan. As I pulled away I saw him eyeing Oz and I looked behind me, seeing him uneasy and clutching the kitchen chair tightly. I could see he was about to snap it.
"You must be Oz, the newest member on this loving family. My name is Eleazar." Eleazar introduced himself and walked over in a graceful manner, holding out his hand for Oz to shake. At first Oz looked to me to see if it was alright and I nodded. So he smiled and shook his hand, instantly seeing Eleazar's eyes widen.
"Psychometry, how rare...." Eleazar replied as he looked at Oz with amazement. Oz looked at him in shock.
"How do you...." Oz trailed off.
"My husband has a ability to identify vampires who also have special abilities." Carmen replied aloud in her soft spanish accent from her spot next to Tanya. Oz smiled again, seeming more at ease.
"I've never encountered a vampire with a ability such as yours." Oz told Eleazar who smiled.
"Ah, well then I am most honored of course." Eleazar replied in a grin.
"I am Carmen, Eleazar's wife. Come, let me have a good look at you el hermoso." Carmen insisted aloud. Oz walked over to her and stood in front of her.
"Ah, such a nice feature and eyes..." She trailed off and smiled, "But pardon my behavior. May I introduce my daughters, Tanya and Kate."
"Hi!" Tanya replied in a jittery tone, shaking Oz's hand with enthusiasm as Kate simply shook his hand and smiled slightly. I walked over to Oz and took his hand in mine.
"It makes me so happy to see Harper happy." Tanya said in a giddy tone as she eyed Oz and myself together as a pair.
"Yes, you seem right for her." Kate added back as she smirked.
"AH, I see Oz has finally met our friends." Carlisle replied as he walked in with Esme from the direction of the garage, "Now Eleazar, what brings you to our home?"
Eleazar replied, taking something out of his pocket. It was a vile the size of a finer, long and slender. Inside there was a blue substance that was almost filled to the top. He held it out to my father, to walked over slowly and cocked his head to the side.
"I have come here to show you something I have been wanting to show you. The Volturi has given me this to test, though I haven't done it yet." Eleazar informed us as he handed Carlisle the vile. Carlisle inspected the substance.
"What is this substance." Carlisle asked aloud to Eleazar.
"That, according to the Volutri, can change a vampire into a human."
