Bella, The Vanderbilt Vampire:
Recap: Bella's POV:"Then it is settled. Welcome to the family hija." She called me daughter, I thought hopefully. Maybe I could find myself here.
Chapter 7: Hello Cousins!
Bella's POV:
It is now 2011 and we are going to visit our cousins. I haven't met them and they don't know about me. So I'm excited to see them. I shielded our plans from their psychic so she couldn't ruin the surprise. Now, I am in my room packing and reminiscing about starting out in the family. I quickly adapted to the Denali's family lifestyle. I fit right into their way of life. We never really moved around. We stay to ourselves and in our house. Carmen and Eleazar became my parent figures. They were more so than my actual parents were. I felt guilty for thinking that, but I can not help how I feel. And what I feel is monumental love for my new parents. I remember the first day I called Eleazar dad a few years ago.
Flashback:
"Okay Bella. Close your eyes and just focus on your power. Don't try to use it. Just try getting a feel on it? Can you do that?" Eleazar asked me. I nodded and closed my eyes. "Good, now can you feel your power?" I looked deep inside me and I found it so I nodded. "Great Bella, your doing great. Now try harnessing it. You've found it. So now try to touch it. Make it move. Expand." We kept it up for a few minutes when I finally got it. I squealed and ran over to him.
"Thank you so much dad!" I said and hugged him. Ten realized what I said and backed up. "I, I'm so sorry it slipped out. I hope you don't take offense or anything. I didn't mean to Eleazar, I swear I won't do it-" I started to rant. He put his hand over my mouth.
"Calm down Bella, it's alright. More than alright even. I haven't been called dad in ages. It was nice to hear that coming from you. I think of you as one of my daughters and to know that you also think of me as a father figure in your life means so much to me Bella. Thank you. I don't mind you calling me that at all." he said smiling at me and dropped his hand.
"Okay dad," I said hugging him again.
End Flashback.
After that I started calling Carmen mom and the Irina, Kate, and Tanya my sisters. They all helped me decorate my room and get settled in. We are all so close. I'm sad that my sisters are so old and have yet to find a mate. Tanya believes her mate to be one our cousins we are going to visit. I told her that if they were there is no way he could go so long without being with her. But she will not listen to me. So she is holding on to her belief that he loves her as much as she him. I personally think that her infatuation with him is because, from the stories, that he refuses her every time. My family has not told me whole lot about my cousins. Just that one is a mind reader, one an empath, and one a psychic. There are seven of them and they all live in Forks, Washington posing as a family from Alaska. They told me that I will love them all but that one girl is hard to get along with because she has a hard time opening up to others. It sounds like she is just trying to protect her family from any potential danger. Nothing wrong with that. So I am really excited to meet them.
"Bella? Are you ready to go?" Carmen asked me from downstairs.
"Yeah, I am ready. Be down in a second." I called back and finished packing. I ran downstairs to my awaiting family and we all got into our respective cars and started towards the airport. We are having our cars flown over to Forks for us. They got me a car as a welcome to the family present. I love it. It's a red camero. Two doors, the top glass comes out, low on the ground. It's super nice. It's an older one I didn't really Pay attention to the year that they said it was I was just paying attention to the fact that they got me a really nice car. I tried to get them to take it back but they wouldn't hear of it so I now have an awesome car. So we got to the airport and on our private jet. The jet is flown by Eleazar and Carmen so Irina, Kate, Tanya, and I just relax while on the way there. We played cards, talked, and watched TV. When we finally got there it was pouring down rain. We came prepared for this though, Eleazar told us that it rained almost all the time here. So we packed umbrellas and stuff for this kind of weather. We went over to our cars, they arrived here before us, and drove to our house. We got to our newest mansion of sorts and unpacked everything. Then Eleazar and Carmen went out for a quick hunt while the rest of us just explored our new living area. It was pretty nice. Three floors, three baths, an in-home theater, an indoor pool, a game room, and my personal favorite a library. I had the top floor to myself with the library. Which is fine by me. I spent my time in the library until Carmen and Eleazar came back.
"Bella?" Carmen called from downstairs.
"Yes mom?" I called back.
"We ran into some, people during our hunt. Come down to meet them pequeña." She asked with a nervous twinge in her voice.
"Okay I'm coming." I said putting Wuthering Heights down on the side table and rushing down the stairs. There were four foul smelling men with barely any clothes on standing in our living room. "Mom, why are there shifters in our home?" I asked her.
"How do you know what we are leech?" the angry looking one snarled at me while shaking.
"Calm down boy before you break something. I had one of your kind help me out when I first change. He worked for my family and helped me get a little bit adjusted to this life but I ran away one day. I lived in Georgia and he was my stable boy." I told them reminiscing about Johnathan Black. He was such a good man. I wonder what ever happened to him?
"What was his name?" asked the youngest wolf curiously.
"Johnathan Black, why?" I said.
"She's the one guys! She has to be! You're Isabella, right?" he asked me.
"Yes, my full name is Isabella Marie Vanderbilt." I told them.
"So she is the one he meant in his letter to all future pack members." The alpha said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked thoroughly confused by their conversation.
"Johnathan Black is one of my ancestors. He left a letter to all future shifters to not ever mess with the vampire Isabella Marie Vanderbilt because she is special and innocent. To provide shelter when she needs it and to always help her in a crisis." he said.
"Wow, I thought he disliked me." I said in shock. We were never really close and when I turned it was like he resented me.
"Apparently not." Tanya said dryly. What's her problem?
"Well I guess now that we know who you are, we can leave peacefully. You are Isabella and you and your family are vegetarians so you all pose no harm to the humans in the area. So there is no other reason to keep you from what ever it was that you were doing when we got here." The alpha said. "I hope we see each other more often I would like to hear what Johnathan had to deal with back during your day. If you know anything about how they dealt with vampires and the change. Oh and before I forget, my name is Sam Uley. This Is Jacob Black, Paul Lahote, and Jared Cameron."
"Well as you know my name is Isabella, but call me Bella. This is my family, Eleazar and Carmen, Tanya, Kate, and Irina." I said.
"Well, it was nice meeting you all but we need to patrol." Sam said. We ll said our goodbyes and they walked outside. We watched them explode into giant wolves and run into the woods to meet up wit their other pack members.
"I guess it's time to clean house," Irina said while wrinkling her nose in disgust.
"Yup," Kate agreed. So we spent the next hour fumigating our house of the wolf smell. Then we all took showers. I took a very long one and got out and got dressed when I heard,
"Bella, are you coming?" Kate called up to me while I was brushing my hair.
"Yes, I am coming miss Electra!" I said chuckling. I love using that nickname. It bugs the crap out of her.
"I heard that!" she yelled annoyed.
"You were supposed to sis!" I yelled back and ran down the stairs. "So are we all ready to go?" I asked.
"Yes Bella, you're the last one." Eleazar said.
"Oops, sorry dad." I said. I would be blushing right now if I still could. Which is one good thing about being a vampire. I used to blush at every little thing.
"No worries, now let's go," He said chuckling with everyone else. We all hoped in Eleazar's Hummer and sped down Fork's little streets until we reached their house. We decided to live on the opposite side of town from them so we each have plenty of hunting space. With thirteen vegetarians in the area we need lots of forest area and lots of wildlife. We might have to go to Canada so we don't overkill the animals. Their house was beautiful. Glass walls shining from the rain rolling in tiny rivulets down the sides. I wonder what the inside will look like? We walked up to the door and Carmen knocked.
"Come on in," we heard a masculine voice call from the inside. We all walked in with me in the back. "How was your flight Eleazar?" I heard the voice ask again as I marveled in the house around me.
"Great, there wasn't any trouble flying the old thing. Now let me introduce my newest family member. She was changed in 1918. Bella, come here please." he said snapping me out of my reverie. "I'd like you all to meet my youngest daughter,"
"Bella," they all gasped. I looked at them then and noticed that I recognized every single face in the room. I saw Carlisle and Esme together on one love seat. They look so sweet together. I wonder when he found her? Emmett and Rosalie snuggled up together on a different one. I wonder how they found each other. Alice on Jasper's lap sitting in a recliner. Yay! They found a coven to join. What a coincidence that it would be this one. Lastly I saw the one face I wasn't expecting to ever see in this lifetime sitting at the grand piano in the corner of the room. His bronze, tousled hair and lean, muscular figure. His eyes changed from emerald green to a molten gold color swimming around with intense emotions shining through. I saw my Edward.
