Alice POV

Bella, Edward and I had flown home to meet the family. I couldnt wait to see the family. We would be home about 8.30pm.

Arriving home and walking into the house, me first in, I launched myself at Jasper. He held me tight and I could feel the stress in the house wash away. I let go of Jasper and Launched myself at Esme. I held onto her for dear life.

"I missed you mom." I said to her. She hugged me tighter then she already had. I release her and hug everyone else. Rosalie was happy to see me. We all sit on the couches. Myself in Jaspers lap on a recliner, Esme and Carlisle on a sofa, Edward and Bella together on a sofa,Rosalie and Emmett on a sofa. I smiled at being home.

"Ciaras here?" Edward says out of the blue. I whip my head around to look at him.

"Yeah she is." Carlisle informed. My smile turned into a large grin.

"Ive been with her fo a while. She left her foster home and came to live with Charlie and Myself." Bella explained. We all looked at Bella.

"Before anyone goes up to wake her, we should explain to the two of you, a few things that you need to know." Carlisle said. Edward and I nodded.

"First of is she escaped her foster family in february. She went to live with Bella and Charlie." Carlisle started. He signed. I see Edward look angry. He had read Carlisles mind.

"Im gonna kill them." Edward stood pacing. I look confused.

"Whats going on?" I ask.

"Her foster family abused the crap out of her and now she cant talk." Edward explained running his hand through his hair. I choke on a sob and look to Esme. She nods. I turn into Jasper and cant help but let myself sob.

"How?" I ask once I lift my face from Jaspers shoulder.

"They strangled her too many times. She will need surgery, to regain the use of her voice again." Carlisle explaines I nodded.

"Come on love. Ill take you home now." Edward said grabbing Bellas hand. I gave Bella a hug and she hugged everyone else before they both left the house.

"Would you tell us what happened in italy?" Carlisle asked. I nod.

I told them all about Bella running and saving Edward from stepping into the sun. How we were escorted into the throne room to stand infront of Aro and the others.

How Aro took Bellas hand and she was immune to his power along with Janes. I explained everything. I look to my family and I could see everyone looking angry, Esme and Rose wanting to cry aswell though.

"Im just glad your all home safe." Esme says. I nod, stand, make my way over to her and plonk myself next to her. I get pulled into a hug and we sit in the same positions for a bit.

"How bad did they hurt bug?" I ask. I didnt really want to know but I did. If that even makes sense. Esme takes a breath and releases it before stroking my hair.

"She as alot of bruises on her body. Her face is covered in them aswell. Her voice box is damaged. She also is very malnourished. You can see it just by looking at her. She also learnt sign language while she was with Charlie and Bella, it helps that we can communicate now." Esme tells me and I nod.

"Poor bug. She was safer with us." I sigh.

"She was, but we had to obey Edwards wishes." Esme says. I nod.

"Shes back now, we dont have to worry about it. She is officially a Cullen now. We adopted her." Rose informs. My eyes go wide and I sit up properly and look Esme in the eyes. She nods and I smile a big smile.

"Can I go lay down next to her, please?" I ask using my puppy dog face on Esme. Esme rolls her eyes but nods. I get up and make my way to the stairs. I hear Esme call out to me.

"Dont wake her." I nod and continue up the stairs. I make it to Ciaras room and push the door open. I can see bug laying all snuggled under the covers. I move forward closer and take a seat on the bed. I look at her form. She does look to skinny, I cant really see the bruising just little shade of darker colour. I sit and watch Ciara sleep for a while.

looking to the clock on her bedside table I notice its 3am. I kiss bug on the cheek before heading down the stairs. I see everyone but Edward in the lounge room. They were watching tv. I take my usual seat on Jaspers lap.

"How is she?" Esme asks as I take a seat.

'Shes good. I can tell she skinny. Im going to go online and look at clothes for her. She will need clothes." I say standing and grabbing my laptop off of the coffee table and taking my seat next to Jasper. I turn my computer on and begin to look for clothes online.

Ciara POV

Wednesday22 March 2006

I yawned as I wake up. I bolt upright when I remember Edward, Bella and Alice are home. I dont care what I look like as I hop out of bed and run down stairs. I forget the pain of my bruises because all I want is to see is Alice and Edward. I run down the stairs and notice all the family in the living room. I see Alice and launch myself at her. She stands before I could get to her. I fling my arms around her shoulders and wrap my legs around her waist. I was shorter then Alice and skinnier now but with her being a vampire, she can lift me.

Alice spins me around and I let tears of happyness fall. i hear the others laughing. Alice places me down back onto my feet and kisses my cheek. I smile at her. I can see her scanning my body and face. I see the sadness in her eyes.

"I missed you Ali." I sign then hug her again. I look around.

"Where is Edward and Bella?" I ask.

"Edward is with Bella at her house." Alice informs me. I nod and hug her again.

"Im glad your all ok." I smile and walk to the Sofa Rose is on. I go to sit next to her but she pulls me so Im on her lap. I smile at her.

"Morning sweetie, are you hungry?" Mom asks me. I smile.

"Morning Mom. Im always hungry." I sign, causing everyone to go into a fit of laughter. I smile aswell.

"Alright sweetie, ill make you some breakfast." Mom says still laughing. I smile and lean back against Rosalie.

"Im so glad your back and now apart of our family for good." Alice tells me. I smile and nod.

"Here you go sweetie." Mom says handing me a plate of toast and settling a water bottle next to me. I smile and nod. I sit on Rosalies lap and dig into the toast.

"So what are we going to do today?" Alice asks. I shrug and wait for someone else to do something.

"oh I have an idea." Alice says. I wait for her Idea.

'Thats a brilliant plan Alice. Rosalie says. I look at them confused. I place my half eaten breakfast on the coffee table and begin to sign.

"Whats a brilliant Idea? Remember human in the room." that earns me a round of laughter. I roll my eyes and pout.

"Alright sweetie, Jasper, Alice , Rose and myself are heading out for a few hours. Emmett and Edward are going to watch you. Edward is incharge, dad is going to work." mom tells me. She kisses me on the head and I watch as the four of them head to the garage.

I think they forgot that Edward is with Bella.

"So what shall we do now?" I sign to Emmett. Im bored as. I watch Emmett think.

"Pranks?" I sign. I watch Emmetts face twist up into a grin. He walks over and lifts me carefully up.

"You little sister, are a genious and my little buddy." Emmett says kissing my forehead before placing me onto the ground. I smile up at him.

"Got any ideas?" Hmmmm. I see Emmetts face lift up into a smile.

"I have a few, follow me to the car."Emmett says. I nod and we walk out of the house, to the garage and hop in his Jeep. We buckle up and head down our driveway. We drive to the mall, park and then walk inside the mall.

"What are we getting?"

"First we are getting baby powder, plastic wrap, then clothes and paint." Emmett tells me. I nod.

"I have no idea what your planning, but with what we are getting, it sounds good." I smirk.

"I know, im the pranking genious." Emmett smiles proudly. I roll my eyes.

"Dont think about the pranks. We dont want Alice seeing us." I inform Emmett. His grin turns to a frown. I can tell hes thinking real hard.

"Yeah, i just thought of me an...nevermind." Emmett says to me before drifting out of his sentence. I shudder at what his thought could be. Eww bad image.

"Alright lets go shorty." Emmett says pulling me into a clothing store. I watch Emmett walk around grabbing random pieces of clothing before paying for them and dragging me to another store. After we hand collected everything we headed back home.

"Alright shorty. Follow me." I follow Emmett around the house. We walk into Alices' room and I watch as he pulls all of Alices clothes out of her closet and replaces them with the random ones he brought. He gathers Alices' clothes he threw on the floor and takes them outside to the bin and burns them. I stare in shock. Im so not getting any blame for any of it.

I had watched Emmett fill Rosalies hair dryer with baby powder, plasic wrapped everything in Jaspers study, re arranged dads study and filing cabinets, re arranged all of the cupboards in the kitchen to annoy mom, and then he turned all the buttons in Edwards car to the maximum and then painted it hot pink. We were so in trouble now.

"Alright shorty time to hide." Emmett announced. I looked at his handy work and I felt tears in my eyes. I felt really bad for suggesting to do pranks. Although I was a part of the family now I was still scared of what can happen. I however didnt do anything so I should get off with a little punishment.

I ran into mom and dads room and hid under the large bed once Emmett had run for the garage. I heard the car leave. What? The idiot left me alone. mom and dad arnt going to like it. I knew I would be found easily but atleast I didnt run away.

"EMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT." I hear alice scream from down stairs. She sounded very angry. I cringe and shield myself under the bed. The only other person that would be able to get under here is Alice since she is about my size.

Im in trouble now.

More to come.
