Chapter one
I had never been afraid of the Cullens. Despite the fact that they were vampires and could kill me if they accidently hugged me too hard, they seemed perfectly harmless to me. But now, as I lay on the floor of their spacious living room staring dumbly at them, I began to understand why Edward always refused to bring me along on hunting trips. With thier usually golden eyes black, their lips pulled back to expose shimmering white teeth, they were, well, completely terrifying.
As I watched the six Cullens, including my Edward, I hadn't even noticed Carlisle's absence among them. At least not until I felt a sharp tug and looked up into his anxious face. Carlisle pulled me up to my feet easily. But just as quickly as I was on them, i was off my feet again, craddled against Carlisle's chest like a newborn child. And before I could even think to close my eyes, we were running.
Well, Carlisle was running. I stupidly watched the trees fly by in a blur of colors. And somewhere between those trees, my second family were running after us.
I could hear their pounding footsteps, only a short distance away. And I'm sure Carlisle was just as aware as I was.
I couldn't tell where we were, with all our surroundings a blur. But I was almost positive Carlisle was taking me home. And when he stopped in front of my house just moments later, I suddenly wondered how I was going to explain my wounds to Charlie. Carlisle glided up the driveway and set me down. I pulled my house keys out and fumbled with the lock. Carlisle gently took the keys from my shaking hands and unlocked the door.
When we entered, Charlie was sitting on the couch where just a few hours ago,Edward and I had sat watching Romeo and Juliet. THe memory made my heart ache. I missed him already. Charlie, surprisingly, didn't look up to see who had entered. Instead, he kept his eyes on the tv screen while I lead Carlisle up the stairs to the bathroom. "I'm home, Dad." i managed to say weakly.
Charlie didn't even look up. He grunted and said,"oh, hey Bells. Hope you had a good time."
Yeah, I thought. It was just perfect.
Carlisle set to work once we reached the bathroom. He cleaned and wrapped up my bloody arm in silence. And when he finished, a sad look flashed across his face. "Bella," he started. I could see in his eyes how he struggled with his words. Which was unusual for someone as wise as Carlisle. "I'm so sorry for what happened, Bella."
I couldn't even respond.
Carlisle stood up and turned toward the door. "I have to go now. I will make sure no one leaves the house tonight. So don't worry."
Just as he was leaving, I found my voice. "Carlisle...tell Edward that I love him, please."
Silently, he nodded. "Happy Birthday, bella."
