Swan Resident
Ciela stumbled while she yawned softly through the kitchen while Bella is sitting on the chair as she is eating her cereal. The brunette girl raised her eyebrows with amused when she noticed a Latino-French girl lazily dragged her feet to the refrigerator, grabbed an orange juice jar, and went to the cabinet. She plucks out a dull green mug and sent it down on the counter. Ciela mumbled something to herself with half-way tired eyes as she poured her juice in a mug then put it away back in the fridge. Then she picked it up, slowly drink the juice then made a face. "I need a damn coffee." She grumbled.
Bella snorted softly. "Did you stay up late or something?" she is curious why Ciela looked so exhausted.
"Kind of. I got sidetrack when I was busy drawing on my sketchbook last night. I didn't realize it was like… three in the damn morning. I went to sleep but then…" she rubbed her eyes and glared down at the mug as if it was their fault for ruin her beauty sleep. "This juice doesn't help shit." Her eyes glanced around and saw a half-way bitter coffee pot.
Ciela almost immediately grabbed another mug from the cupboard, picked up a coffee pot and pour it in the mug. Then she chugged the cold bitter coffee.
Bella stared at the petite girl with amused. "Charlie left this morning for work." She informed Ciela who looked around with confused. Bella stood up after she finished her cereal and went to the sink to put her bowl in. "And… We can go to the Cullen house. They would like to meet you." She awkwardly explained to Ciela.
"Wait so, we are going to see them? Not taking me out to explore in Forks, but spend time at their house? Your boyfriend's house?" Ciela said just to clarify.
Bella nodded her head and Ciela inwardly snorted. 'Padrino is right after all, Bella would take me to her boyfriend's house because she can't get away from Edmund any longer.' "I see… alright. First thing, first. Allow me to get ready." She turned around, walked to the pantry, opened it, grabbed pop-tart from the box, shut it and turned around to leave the kitchen.

"Damn… Cullens are Hot!"

Ciela did her morning routine and after nearly an hour. She is finally ready as she stood in front of her mirror to overlook at her appearance. She is wearing a black and white crop top with third-corner sleeves and a fancy cursive word on the front, 'Power', black biker skirt that fell below her mid-thighs, white high-top sneakers, silver bangles wrapped around her left wrists, silver hoops earrings that barely brush against her jawlines, white nail polishes covered her nails, and her long, black hair is slightly curled at the ends. Ciela took a closer look at her make-up, she has black mascara, lightly golden and brown eyeshadows to make her eyes color pop, soft pink blush, and red lip gloss.
She is satisfied with her appearance. Ciela turned around, picked up her black messenger purse and pulled it over across her body. "Alright, let's see… mobile, iPod, earbuds, wallet, lip gloss, mini-lotion, and pepper spray." She muttered to herself while checking her items inside her purse. Ciela nod herself descended the stairs and saw Bella sitting on a couch while bouncing her knees.
'Don't tell me this chica wait this whole time without doing anything?' she mused, amused and concerned. "I'm ready." She announced.
Bella snapped her head up and turned to Ciela. She blinked and overlook a Latino-French girl's appearance. "Uuhh…" Bella glanced at her appearance. She wears a simple teal-blue long sleeves shirt, dark jeans, brown sneakers, and beige-tan jacket. Compare to Ciela, Bella felt plain, so obviously plain and awkward.
"Do you want me to help you change into something better?" Ciela saw Bella's emotion and felt the offer to help the shy godsister of hers. 'It wouldn't hurt to make her look more pretty for Edmund.' She mused, genuinely wants to help Bella.
"N-no. It's fine. Let's go." Bella smiles nervously as she stood up, grabbed her keys and walked to the door.
Ciela sighed softly. 'Well, I did offer.' She followed the brunette girl out of the house and glanced around the semi-chill cold air outside. "Damn… it's summer and it's not even hot. Nothing like Utah." She blurted it out.
"You moved from Utah?" Bella asked before she locked the door. Ciela climbed down the stairs while nodded her head.
"Yeah… good old hot sun that loves to attempt murdering human beings by trying to melt us into sweats." Ciela joked with a smirked.
Bella scoff softly when she heard her godsister's humor. The brunette girl unlocked the truck while Cielo made a face at the ugly piece of metal. She walked around, opened the passenger door, climbed inside and shut it. She wrinkles her nose at the scent of tobacco, pine woods, and oil. "Smells revolting." Ciela blunted without caring.
"Ah… I can probably buy some scent freshers." Bella said after she agreed with Ciela. After all, the scent has been stuck in the truck for months ever since Bella got it for a gift.
When Bella starts switched on the truck. A loud, roar came to live which surprised Ciela as she was startled by it. She glanced over to Bella with caution. "…are we seriously riding in this death piece of metal?" she asked with disbelieved.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with this truck. It's perfect." Bella defense of her beloved truck.
The petite girl surrenders her hands. "Oh sorry. Didn't realize that you love this truck." She leaned back and put her seatbelt on.
Once the truck moves and drives down the road. Ciela glanced over at the window and watched the never-ending trees. She rolled down the window quietly and placed her elbow on the edge while feeling the chill air kissing her bare skins.
After ten minutes of silence, Ciela breaks it by asking Bella. "So, have you ever thought of upgrade your truck?"
"What do you mean?" Bella asked with curious.
Ciela glanced at Bella from the corner of her eyes. "I meant that your truck needs to upgrade. Like, probably the new battery, polish metal with oils, upgrade your wheels, and maybe even paint the color in better color?"
"What's wrong with the way it looks?"
The petite girl turned her head at Bella with a serious face. "It's hideous."
"Excuse me? No, it's not. It's shows character."
Ciela shows a worried face. "Bella, Bell, sweetheart… this truck is covered with some rust. It looks so painfully ugly to the point that this truck is not happy."
Bella half-smile. "What makes you think my truck is not happy?"
"Isn't it obvious? Look at this poor piece of a metal beast! It's in agony! It needs to be fixed and upgrade into a beautiful transformation." She snapped her fingers. "Like the story. Ugly duckling turned to a beautiful swan."
The brunette girl just shook her head. "I think my truck is fine and satisfied the way it looks."
"But Bella… didn't you hear?"
"Hear what?"
Ciela leaned forward. "This truck is whispering… saying stuff… it said. 'Owner… my dear, sweet owner. I am begging you… please… fix me… fix me before I become no more'." She said in a dramatic deep voice.
"Okay, you are being ridiculous." Bella chuckled softly as she turned her truck onto the large trail and followed the path.
"Oh come on! You cannot be serious about the content of this truck." Ciela said with a disbelieved tone.
Bella tilted her head. "I actually am. I love this truck. With flaws to rusts to beastly roar." With a soft smile. Then she glanced at Ciela. "What about you? Do you have a favorite type of car?"
"Not really." Ciela shrugged her shoulders. "I preferred motorcycles."
The brunette girl's eyes are wide in shock. "W-what?"
Ciela nodded her head. "Oh yeah. I would love me some motorcycle, the rush, the fast, and the crazy and wild speed… I would love to ride on a Ducati motorcycle! Ducati is a fucking beauty!"
"I… did not except that you are a motorcycle type girl." Bella said, surprised.
The Latino-French girl stared at Bella with amused. "There's a lot you don't know about me chica, but don't worry. We have plenty of times to get to know each other." She waves off happily. Then her eyes spotted a beautiful, modern house. "Holy shit! Now that is one amazing house!"

Cullen Clan
Meanwhile
Esme wringing her wrists after she finished cleaned and rearranged her house to look pleasant and comfortable.
The rest of the vampires are gathering in the living room except Carlisle who is at the hospital work. Emmett and Jasper are playing video games while Rosalie is looking through the magazine in boredom. Alice is fixing the flowers into vases around the house and Edward is sitting on a piano bench.
They've been waiting for Bella and Ciela to arrive for a while until they heard the familiar, loud trucks. Their ears perked up when they heard voices.
"What's wrong with the way it looks?" they can hear Bella's confused tone.
A soft yet confident voice answered. "It's hideous." A deadpanned voice said.
"Excuse me? No, it's not. It's shows character." All Cullen members exchanged confused glances as they continued listening.
"Bella, Bell, sweetheart… this truck is covered with some rust. It looks so painfully ugly to the point that this truck is not happy." A soft voice filled with worried. Emmett snort while Rosalie agreed with the girl's opinion. Jasper's lip twitched while Edward furrowed his eyebrows.
The vampires could hear amusement inside Bella's tone. "What makes you think my truck is not happy?"
"Isn't it obvious? Look at this poor piece of a metal beast! It's in agony! It needs to be fixed and upgrade into a beautiful transformation." They heard the girl's snapped her fingers. "Like the story. Ugly duckling turned to a beautiful swan."
Rosalie made a noise of approval. "At least this girl knew what a taste is like." Edward glared at Rosalie who thought about Bella and her poor taste in an automobile.
"I think my truck is fine and satisfied the way it looks." Bella said with a satisfied tone which Edward smiles fondly while Rosalie wrinkles her nose in disgusted.
"But Bella… didn't you hear?" the vampires were confused once again.
Bella's tone was curious and confused. "Hear what?"
Much to vampires' amused when the girl's replied. "This truck is whispering… saying stuff… it said. 'Owner… my dear, sweet owner. I am begging you… please… fix me… fix me before I become no more'."
Emmett chuckled. "I like this girl."
"Okay, you are being ridiculous." Bella chuckled softly. The truck is coming very close to their house which makes the conversation more clear.
"Oh come on! You cannot be serious about the content of this truck." The girl's tone clearly heard in disbelieved.
"I actually am. I love this truck. With flaws to rusts to beastly roar." They heard Bella answered then she added. "What about you? Do you have a favorite type of car?" Bella asked, curious.
"Not really." The girl then added much to vampires' shocked. "I preferred motorcycles."
Bella was stunned in her voice. "W-what?"
"Oh yeah. I would love me some motorcycle, the rush, the fast, and the crazy and wild speed… I would love to ride on a Ducati motorcycle! Ducati is a fucking beauty!" Emmett whistled while Rosalie raised her eyebrows. Jasper hummed with interest while Esme and Alice were surprised to hear such words from the girl's lips. Edward grimaced as he doesn't like to hear such foul words from any women's mouth.
"I… did not except that you are a motorcycle type girl." Bella sounded surprised.
"Not kidding. Not what I expected either." Emmett chuckled as others agreed with him. They heard the truck coming close to their house as the girl answered Bella. "There's a lot you don't know about me chica, but don't worry. We have plenty of times to get to know each other."
Then a shocking voice shouted. "Holy shit! Now that is one amazing house!" Emmett laughed out loud.
"Okay, it's official. I love that girl!" Emmett decided with excited grinned.
They can hear the truck stopped and the girl talked to Bella. "Dude, you didn't tell me that Cullen was freaking wealthy to own this amazing style of the house. Whoever design this, they have great taste!" Esme beamed with flattered at the praise from the girl. They heard the doors opened and shut.
"Amazing…" Jasper tilted his head. "…I can only smell Bella… if they haven't talk, I would assume that Bella only arrives here." He whispered in shocked and awe. Now that his words got vampires' attention, they attempted to smell the girl's scent but find it nonexistent much to their pleasantly surprised.

Meanwhile
Ciela shook her head in amazed at the beauty of the modern house. "Dude, you didn't tell me that Cullen was freaking wealthy to own this amazing style of the house. Whoever design this, they have great taste!" she said, impressed with the style house.
Bella smiles softly at Ciela then jerked her head at the house. "Come on." She walked up to the front porch and the Latino-French girl followed her.
Once they arrived in front of the front door. Bella knocked on the door gently while Ciela studied the house with silent awed. When the door opened, it revealed Edward who smiles at Bella. Ciela watched Bella smiles shyly at her boyfriend. "Hi." She greeted him and walked inside the building.
Ciela followed her godsister calmly and once again, she was impressed and amazed the inside of the stylish home. Edward gently grabbed Bella's hand and led her down the stairs. The petite girl followed them behind while observed her surroundings.
When they reached the living room with a large kitchen in the background. Ciela paused as she spotted the family and carefully analyzed them. 'Whoa. These people are not normal. They all look ridiculously stunningly, unnaturally attractive-looking.' She mused with dazed. Then slowly, a smirk appeared on her face. "Hola. My name is Ciela Dupont, goddaughter of Chief Swan." She introduced herself with confidence.
"Hello, dear. My name is Esme Cullen." Esme walked up to Ciela and gently wrapped her arms around the petite girl. Ciela was startled but happily hugged back in a friendly way. 'Now this is a real friendly greeting, unlike that Edmund.' She mused, slightly irked but mostly happy with the hug. She loves a hug.
Esme breaks the hug and squeezes Ciela's arms maternal. "They are my children. Emmett, Alice, and Edward. And those two, they are twins and my niece and nephew. Jasper and Rosalie." She introduced them to Ciela politely yet with a proud warm smile.
Ciela tipped her head, greeting them with a friendly smile. She glanced around. "So… what's going on here?" she asked, curious.
"What do you mean?" Alice asked as she is standing behind the couch with a confused smile.
The petite girl raised her eyebrow. "I mean… were you busy before Bella and I arrive?" her dark chocolate-brown eyes shifted at the game system that is turned off but the controllers are on the coffee table and the opened magazine spread across the couch. Ciela glanced over to Bella who is attached to Edward's side with their hands clasped. Standing close to each other in the corner of the room. "What do you do when you visit here, Bella?" she asked in hope that her godsister is not boring.
Bella looked surprised but glanced up at her boyfriend shyly. "W-well, I usually spend my time with Edward. Sometimes we listen to music or hang out at the meadow." She explained.
Ciela gapped at her. '…that's it? Are you serious? That is the most boring thing I have ever heard in my life!' she shook her head flabbergasted. "Okay… how about this…" she turned her head to the Cullen members with a smile. "Do you have Mario Kart?" she jerked her chin at the game system.
Emmett's golden eyes sparkle. "Yes!" he almost immediately turned on the game system and Ciela walked to the couch. She watched the large flat screen tv turned on and showed the menus of the game. Rosalie sat on a chair with a magazine in her hands while Alice just leaned against the wall a few feet away from the couch. Bella and Edward sat on a small sofa together in the corner of the room, but they can clearly see the television.
Esme sat on a white chair on the other side of the couch while the couch is now occupied Emmett, Ciela, and Jasper in that order. Three of them have a controller in their hands. Emmett pressed play and start the battle mode with the Wii remote.
Cielo is a third player as she shifted her Wii remote to pick a character. She picked Daisy while Emmett picked Bowser and Jasper picked Toad. Then, Emmett chose a random option for the battlefield. Soon, three characters are ready for a battle race. Soon, the countdown had begun.
Halfway through the game, they were too absorbed in the game and even threw a few taunts at each other while others who are watching them are rather entertained. Then when the game was down to thirty seconds… Ciela has announced the victor with the most points. "Ha! In your face!" she shouted in victory, grinning wide.
Emmett gap at the game while Jasper just chuckled. Ciela turned her attention to Bella. "Hey, wanna join?" Bella shook her head. "Oh come on! It's fun." She attempts to persuade Bella to play the game.
However, Edward frowned at Ciela. "Bella is not interested. She isn't the type to play such a childish game." He said, slightly haughty.
Ciela narrowed her eyes at Edward with irritated. "Oh, is that so, Edmund?" She said with a bitter smile. Emmett snort when he heard misnamed his brother while Jasper shook his head with amused.
"It's Edward." The bronze-haired vampire reminds the petite girl of his real name.
The petite girl blinked. "I'm sorry. I have forgotten your name. I apologize, do forgive me." She sarcastically said.
"Hey, Cece… let's play another round." Emmett said, excitedly.
Ciela turned her head to a large vampire in surprised but pleased when she earned a nickname. "Sure, Em. Let's shall." Her head turned to Jasper. "What do you say, Jazz?"
Jasper nodded his head. "I say we shall play another battle." He drawls slightly which made Cielo smirks slyly with interest.
They picked the same characters and start another battle. Ciela pays attention to the game and immediately started off with a turbo boost as soon as the words 'GO' appeared on screen, and went straight for the nearest item box. She got a banana peel, which she laid down behind her while searched for another box.
Ciela took a quick glance at the other players' screens showed her that Emmet had three green shells and Jasper had a red shell. She got a new item and earned herself a red shell. When she and Jasper were passing each other. They launched their items at the same time, and the two collided, canceling each other out.
"Si!" Ciela cheered while Emmett laughs as Jasper shook his head with a smirked. As they continued racing, when she got three red shells at her disposal, circling around Daisy. She launched one, and it hit Bowser dead on. However, Daisy wasn't ahead of Brower yet so she released another red shell on Bowser once again.
Emmett cursed under his breath while Ciela cackled with enjoyment when Daisy is ahead of Bowser. However, Daisy got hit with a lightning bolt as flash on the screen. Jasper smirked widely as he continues to race ahead.
"Just you wait, Jazz. I'll get you back." Ciela promised.
Jasper grinned sharply. "Lookin' forward to it, Darlin'."
Emmett got a blooper item which he immediately launched it and screens are black. He guffawed in triumphed as Bowser is now ahead of Daisy and Toad. They continued racing until Ciela finally got Jasper back with a banana peel. She was laughing evilly as Daisy sped by Toad. "Payback~!" she sang smug.
Soon, the time was ticking and only had one minute left. Daisy got a star power while Toad got a spiked shell and Bowser got a banana peel. Before they knew it, they launched each other, and the timer hit zero. The highest point was Daisy, Toad, and Bowser and other CPU characters. "I won, bebe~!" Ciela sang while dancing in her seat with a victory.
Emmett was stunned and Jasper whistle with impressed. Rosalie's lip twitches with amuses and Esme giggled softly and Alice smiles, yet her eyes filled with sadness. Bella shakes her head and leaned to Edward comfortably.
"It's close to lunchtime, are you both hungry? I can make some lunch." Esme offered as she stood up from the chair.
Bella shook her head "Oh no, you don't have to do that. We're fine." She doesn't want to trouble Esme.
Ciela paused and turned her head to Bella with an appalled face. "Oi. I refuse that. I want food. I had pop-tart and that is not enough for my demanding stomach." She pointed at her growling stomach, much to others amuse.
"Ciela…" Bella's eyes are wide with a look.
"Don't go Ciela on me, chica. Mrs. Cullen offers to make lunch for us, and the rest of us who are desperately starving poor us. Bella, you should pity us, on me and my hungry belly." Ciela said then she glanced at Esme who smiles with entertained as her golden eyes sparkles. "It would be great to have lunch made by you, Mrs. Cullen."
Esme giggled excitedly. "Please, called me Esme, dear."
"Yes ma'am." Ciela nod her head with smiles. Then she glanced around. "I hope I'm not bothering you all this, but do we have a board game?" she asked, curious.
Emmett perked up. "Yeah! Hold on." He stood on his feet and ran off to the other room. Ciela placed the Wii remote on the coffee table while Jasper stood up to turned off the game system.
The petite girl noticed Alice who is leaning against the wall quietly. Cielo leaned her stomach against the couch as her arms folded on the ledge. "Alice, right?"
Alice snapped out of it and smiles at Ciela. "That's right."
"Your clothes are very cute." Ciela compliments Alice's appearance and smiles wide when she saw Alice's eyes sparkles.
Alice is wearing a silk purple summer dress with a black belt wrapped around her waist, black leggings, purple flats, and black with a purple flower headband. "Thank you. I like your clothes; it fits your looks."
Ciela winked at the pixie vampire. "Thanks."
"I got it!" Emmett returns with few board games on his hands. He sends them on the coffee table and Ciela turned around and leaned forward. She read each board game quietly. 'Scrabble. Sorry! The Game of Life. Backgammon. Yahtzee. Uno. Twister. Monopoly.' She carefully thought about which gameboard would be more fun.
Ciela tapped one of the boardgames. "We can play Monopoly?" she suggested to the others.
And most of them agreed to participate however, Esme told the children that lunch is ready. Ciela immediately stood on her feet and power-walk to the kitchen. Uncaring the chortled and snickered behind her. She saw a plate filled with grilled cheese sandwich, fruit salad in a bowl, and a glass of water. Ciela sat on a stool before she thanked Esme for the food and grabbed a sandwich and eat.
Warm cheesy melt on her tongue. Ciela moans in appreciation and covered her mouth. "Esme…"
The mother vampire paused her cleaning frying pan as she turned her head to Ciela. "Yes, dear?"
"…you are my diosa." Ciela proclaimed with a serious face.
Bella choked softly as she was sitting next to her godsister when she is eating her fruit. She turned to Ciela with surprise. "Did you… did you just called her a goddess?" she sputtered in stunned.
"Of course, I did. Have you not tasted her food yet?" Ciela stared at Bella as if she has three heads. The Latino-French girl made a gesture at the bitten sandwich in her hand. "The cheese melt, Bella! It actually melts on my tongue! That takes serious skill!"
Esme chuckled softly. "Thank you for the compliment, dear." She was practically glowing and return to finished cleaning the dishes and utensils.
Ciela noticed that she and Bella are the only ones eating lunch. "The others are not hungry?" she asked with concerned and confused.
"Oh, I made a big breakfast this morning, so the kids are not hungry." Esme excused and Ciela hummed with understanding.
After twenty minutes of finished lunch, Ciela thanked Esme for delicious food once again and return to the living room with Bella.
Emmett noticed Ciela's face. "You look satisfied." He grinned wide.
"Very satisfied. Your mom is a freaking goddess with a talented cook. I don't mind eating her food every day. Ya'll lucky bitches." She grumbled at the end to herself but unknowingly that all vampires heard it. Then she sat down on the couch and saw the Monopoly game is already set up. "Alright, who is playing?"
Turns out, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Bella, and Ciela are all playing. Rosalie decided to stay watching while Edward doesn't want to play but stay behind to watch his girlfriend playing in a sulky mood. Esme volunteers to be the banker as she watches the game with a warm smile on her face.
Ciela picked the dog, Alice picked the shoe, Bella picked the top hat, Emmett picked the car, and Jasper picked the battleship. Now, with the right amount of money, two dice, cards are in the middle and the game is now start.
Soon, as the game started, things quickly got heated up. Properties were taken, rent was paid, and there are taunts and laughs over stupidest things. When Emmett rolled the dice, he moved his car until it landed on the property where Ciela's dog was. Before she knew it, Emmett had a shit-eating grinned as he pretends to run over her dog with his car repeatedly.
"Oi! What the hell?" Ciela gasped in fake offended. "Stop running over my dog!" Everyone was burst out in laughter at this. Rosalie small smiles at this while Edward rolled his eyes yet a hint of fond. Bella covered her laughing mouth with her hands as she leaned back against her boyfriend's legs. Alice giggled in bell-like chime while Esme covered her large smiling and Jasper chuckled happily amused.
When it's Alice's turn to roll the dices and moved her shoe onto the Community Chest. She picked up the card and read it out loud. "Looks like I won second place in a beauty contest." She looked insulted. "Second place? As if, I'd win with this look." She huffed slightly and got the money she was supposed to get from Esme while others are snickering.
"My turn." Bella said softly as she grabbed the dices, rolled on the board and moved her top hat and landed on Virginia Avenue, buying it and she has successfully owned three properties of the same color. She was smiling with excitement and slowly, a hint of confidence. Ciela was improved by it. 'Good, Bella needs to have high self-esteem.' She mused with proud smirked.
Edward glanced over at the Latino-French girl with a new perspective after he read her mind. Understanding lit in his topaz eyes then his face slightly softens.
Next, it was Ciela turns as she rolled the dices and move her dog onto the Chance space. She grabbed the card and read out loud. "Go directly to jail." She pouted as she sulky moved her dog onto the Jail space.
Jasper rolled as it was his turn, shifted his battleship onto the free property and immediately brought it.
And when it's Emmett's turn, he rolled and moved his car and Ciela watched how Emmett running over her dog once again. "Dude! If you don't stop running over my dog, he will pee on your fucking leather seats! Your stupid car will be ruined!" she snapped playfully.
For some reason, everyone seemed to find that hilarious that there are nonstop laughing and giggles throughout the house.
No one has noticed except Edward and Rosalie heard Carlisle who has arrived home from work. When Carlisle appeared inside the house, his butterscotch eyes twinkles in pleasant surprise when he saw his children along with two humans who are playing the Monopoly game. He quietly tipped his head at Edward and Rosalie and watched the game with curious, amuse, and proud.
As the game continues, Ciela refuses to budge on this when Alice attempt to make a deal with her. "Please, Cece?" Alice begged the Latino-French girl. "I'm willingly trading Electric Company, Water Works, and Get Out of Jail Free card for Reading Railroad."
"Nay, chica." Ciela won't be swayed and not even Alice's pout works on her. The others were impressed with Ciela's strong-will against Alice.
Emmett muttered under his breath that only vampires can hear. "This girl is very determined."
"Very powerful." Jasper muttered with astonished amazed when he felt her strong resolved. It was very impressive because almost everyone gives in to Alice every time. But it seems they have found one person who can be stubborn and resist against Alice's powerful persuasive.
Alice begged. "Please?"
"Nope."
"Why not?" Alice pouted, disappointed.
Ciela raised her eyebrow at the pixie vampire. "Did you forget that Bella and Jasper already armed with a shit ton of houses? I'm not giving you leverage too." She blunted refused as she withstands against Alice. And finally, Alice gives up and the game continues which became, even more, heat up and lots of laughter and taunt involved. When it was Ciela's turn, she rolled her dice and moved her dog to the most expensive property which belongs to Bella.
Ciela curse under her breath while Bella has a small smirk that appeared on her face. "Pay up, Ciela." She opened her palm, waiting for the cash.
The petite girl grabbed the paper money, mentally counted the seven hundred dollars and handed to Bella with a false annoyed on her face.
She leaned back, sitting on her legs while watched the game as it was Jasper's turn to rolled the dices. When his battleship landed on the Community Chest space. He took the card and read out loud. "Grand Opera Opening, collect fifty dollars from every player." An evilly smug smirked appeared on his face as he opens his palm, waiting.
Emmett and Ciela complain semi-loudly as they handed their fifty dollars to Jasper's palm. Bella and Alice quietly gave their money to him as they have plenty of money in their bank.
When it's Emmett turn once again, he rolled and landed on the same space as Ciela. Bella opened her palm, gleefully at Emmett who grumbling handed his money to her. He stared down at his car then decided to hit the dog once again.
Ciela twitched when she saw it as others watched in amused. "I swear to god, Emmett! If you run over my dog one more time, I'm going to smack the shit out of you!" Once again, this brought much laughter from others.
Carlisle shook his head fondly. He watched Alice took a turn as she rolled the dices and moved her shoe to landed on one of her property which bring her relief. The game went one with no end and so far, none of the players have gone bankrupt yet. However, Bella and Jasper are wealthy in both properties and money. Alice is decent, enough money, and enough properties if she plays it smart. However, Ciela and Emmett are very low on money and only owned a few properties.
When Ciela rolled her dice, she moved her dog to landed on the Community Chest. She took the card and read out loud. "Pay hospital for a hundred dollars." Then her eyes widen in surprise and glared playfully at Emmett. "See!" she shoves her card to Emmett's confused face. "This is what I get to pay for my dog's medical that you ran over! You supposed to pay for this shit since you hurt my dog, repeatedly, might I add!"
Others laughed while Emmett just had shit-eating grinned on his face as he shrugged his shoulders. "I should sue you for that, you bastard." Ciela fake grumbled and grabbed her case and handed it to Esme. "They should add a lawyer to this game, so I can file the lawsuit and sue you and get a shit ton of money." She crossed her arms, pouted.
When its Jasper's turned. He rolled and shifted his battleship onto Alice's property and gave her his cash with the right amount of money. And Emmett took his turn, rolled the dices and moved his car to landed on the Chance card.
Emmett picked up the Chance card and read. "Advance token to the nearest utility. If unowned, you may buy it from the bank. If owned, throw the dice and pay for the owner a total of ten times the amount thrown." He gapped in disbelieved at the card while others snickered at Emmett's misfortunate luck. In the end, Emmett had to sell everything to pay the owner who is Bella with a huge sum of money and left with a very small handful of money.
Ciela cackled playfully. "That's what you get for hurting my dog." She smirked smugness at poor sulky Emmett. The large vampire finally noticed Carlisle.
"Oh, hey dad!" Emmett waved at his father as others who now, noticed Carlisle's appearance. They greeted him as Esme gently sent the plastic money holder down. She stood up and walked to her husband's side. They exchanged their hugs.
"Welcome home, Carlisle." Esme smiles lovely at him.
Carlisle pecked her temple and nod his head at his children and Bella. Then his topaz eyes shifted to Ciela who stared at him in surprise. "Hello, my name is Carlisle Cullen. I apologize that I couldn't be here earlier. I had to work at the hospital." He said with a calm smile.
Ciela shook her head as she carefully stood on her feet. She grimaced slightly that she could feel her legs are numbs. Ciela rubbed her bare legs in an attempt to stretch them and wake. "It's alright. I understand that you have work. People have a job that needs to pay bills." She smiles wide. "I'm Ciela Dupont." She finally got her legs awake and walked to Carlisle. She politely handshake with Carlisle. "So, you're a doctor?"
"Yes, that is correct."
Ciela hummed and glanced at Esme with approval who noticed and beamed with pride. Then she frowned. "Wait, what time is it?" she asked, curious since she knew that playing Monopoly tends to go on for a long time when you are having fun.
"It's thirteen minutes 'til seven." Edward answered, calmly.
Ciela and Bella's eyes widen in shock while others weren't surprised one bit. "Whoa. We've been playing for almost six and a half hours." She shook her head in amazed yet resigned as she knew Monopoly can literally suck all your time before you knew, reality hit you in a face. "We better head home since padrino is probably waiting for us." The petite girl said as her eyes landed on her godsister who agreed with her.
"Yeah, and I need to cook dinner for Charlie." Bella stood on her feet with Edward's help.
Emmett protected. "Wait! We haven't finished this game yet." He pouted, childishly.
Ciela raised her eyebrow and glanced down at the board game. "If we continue this, it will take even longer. Plus, at this rate we're going, I think I would say Bella is the winner since she is wealthiest, and Jasper is pretty close." Then smirked appeared on her face. "And Emmett, you are the loser." She snickered as she covered her mouth.
"Someday, I will have my revenge." Emmett glared playfully at Ciela.
The Latino-French girl placed her hands on her hips. "Oh yeah?" Emmett nodded his head seriously. "You're on." She dared him with a sharp grinned which Emmett's eyes twinkle with excitement and mischief. Meanwhile, Alice is cleaning the game with a cheerful smile on her face. Bella got her keys and jacket from Edward.
Jasper saw Ciela's purse on the corner of the couch. He grabbed it, stood on his feet and handed it to the petite girl.
"Gracias." Ciela gently grabbed her purse from Jasper's hands and placed it over her body. She turned her head to Esme with a thankful smile. "Thank you for lunch earlier. It was the best." Esme beams happily as she went to the petite girl for a hug.
"You are very welcome, my dear. I'm sure we all like to have you come back here again." Esme said as she breaks the hug from Ciela.
Ciela glanced over the Cullen members. "If they don't mind?"
"Not at all, you better come back here otherwise, how would I get my revenge?" Emmett loud boom voice said with a wide grinned. Rosalie just silently shrugged her shoulders while Alice just nodded her head happily. Jasper tipped his head with a friendly sharp smirked on his face.
"Guess, I'll be happy to come over again." Ciela got pretty much all Cullen members' permissions. Then she glanced at Bella who is ready to leave. "Ready?" Bella nodded her head. "Good! For now, adios Cullen!" she waved at them with a friendly smile. She turned around, walked to the stairs and ascended while Bella looked up at Edward with love in her eyes.
"See you later?" Bella whispered.
Edward nodded his head. "Of course, love."
A shouted feminine who is by the front door. "Come on Bella! Kiss or hug or whatever you do with Edgar! Padrino is waiting for us!"
Most of the Cullen members sniggered when they heard Ciela's obviously avoid to called Edward's real name. Edward rolls his eyes slightly irritated and Bella sighed softly. "Bye Edward." She squeezes her boyfriend's hand and nearly stumbled but managed to climb upstairs.
The vampires listened to the front door opened and shut it quietly. Then the girls walked to the truck, doors opened and shut.
"Bella… now that we are out here in this poor piece of metal deathtrap…I need to tell you." Ciela's voice suddenly turned serious which makes vampires nervous, anxious and suspicious.
They can hear Bella's heart beating fast. "W-what is it?" she asked nervously.
It was the most uncomfortable and anxious for ten seconds until Ciela opened her mouth. "Damn… Cullens are hot!" relieved and relaxes muscles appeared in the house as vampires exchanged with amusing glances. "I mean, holy shit! I mean, when I first saw Edgar—"
"It's Edward." Bella corrected her godsister gently.
"Right, right, Edrian—" Emmett and Jasper snickered while Alice giggled, and Rosalie smirked with amusing. Esme shook her head fondly while Carlisle raised his eyebrows at his mind-reader son who looked completely exasperated. "—looked very handsome, almost like a Greek god or something I've seen from the history book I remembered when I was an eighth grade or something. Which wasn't too bad but not my type. And now, I've seen the rest of the Cullen. Damn. Just… whoa. First, Emmett reminds me of a good-looking quarterback in football you've seen on the sports channel."
Emmett's egos grew as he has large shit-eating grinned on his face. Rosalie smiles at her husband while others agreed with the petite girl silently.
Ciela's continued. "Rosalie which she reminds me of a swimsuit model. Beautiful yet deadly at the same time. Whoever named her Rosalie, is a fucking smart." Rosalie furrowed her eyebrows with confused.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked with curious and confused.
"I mean, people don't really call her full name. Except, her parents, probably. But she usually goes by Rose or Rosie, right? So, that means she is a beautiful rose but can be very deadly since rose has thorns." Rosalie raised her eyebrow with approval and understanding. Emmett grinned at his wife that he knew his Rose has very dangerous thorns but still love her.
"Alice reminds me of a cute pixie, like a beautiful fairy and I bet she dances lovely like a masterpiece." Alice smiles wide when she heard the genuine compliment from Ciela's tone.
"Esme is definitely my diosa and she is so sweet and lovely. And she reminds me of a goddess, to be honest. Like, the kind you don't see every day and suddenly, there she is and whoa, beautiful and sweet." Esme glowed while her husband lovely pecked her forehead. He agreed with Ciela's description of his wife.
"I kind of wish I can get to know Mr. Cullen, but Esme just got herself a damn worthy man. That guy who is a doctor and looked like a supermodel? Give her a gold medal for catching a sexy doctor." Carlisle felt embarrassed yet pleased while Esme giggled softly. She leaned up and pecked her husband's cheek lovely. She does feel like she won the best sexy doctor that has caught her heart.
They can hear the truck turned on with loud beasty roar. "And what about Jasper?" Bella asked with curious, amused, and slightly guilty.
"Jasper…" Ciela's whispered softly with awed. "…he is a fine specimen. I never met someone who is a deliciously looking. And that accent? I can hear his accent very faintly; I think it's Texan." Jasper raised his eyebrows impressed yet amused when he listening to Ciela's description of him. "If he wears a cowboy hat, boots, and accent in all… I will drool." Jasper felt his self-esteem grew rather high and strong.
Emmett laughed. "Sounds like she has a crush on you, Jazz." Jasper just hummed while Alice just shook her head fondly but there's sadness, resigned, and accepted in her eyes. Edward glanced over to Alice with confused and concerned while Rosalie grabbed another magazine. Carlisle and Esme just smile as they continue listening to the girls quietly. Soon, they can hear the truck move away from their house and the last thing they heard from the girls was…
"So, want to come over here again?" Bella asked, interested and curious.
"Oh, definitely. I don't think they can get rid of me easily since I like them too much to let them go." A cheeky tone from Ciela's said. Then they are out of their vampires' senses.
"Good. I like her too." Emmett said cheerfully with a childish smile.
Esme was positively glowing.
Carlisle glanced at his children. "It seems that you all have a lot of fun today." He commented then shifted his golden eyes to Jasper. "How are you feeling, Jasper?"
"Edward was right. If we haven't heard her voice nor listen to her heart beating… we would assume that Bella was alone. And I can feel her emotions, but I can't smell her, no scent and no blood. None of us feel any hint of bloodlust." Then an astonished appeared. "I was focused on Ciela's emotion that I didn't feel any bloodlust or struggle with my control when Bella was near." He whispered with awed.
The doctor vampire smiles wide with hopeful. "Truly? Edward?" he turned to his mind-reader son.
"Yes. Jasper did felt the struggle to control his bloodlust in the beginning when Bella came down. But when he focuses on Ciela… his bloodlust just… vanished." Edward explained, puzzled yet intrigued.
"Fascinating… you all felt that too?" Carlisle asked others with curiosity and interest. They nodded their heads. "Interesting, I haven't been here too long, but I didn't feel anything. However, to think you all, have no bloodlust toward Bella's godsister… that's wonderful." He said with a pleased smile.
Esme tilted her head. "It makes Ciela, a very special girl." She said merrily.
"Yes, she is." Alice agreed with the mother vampire. Then she stood up and grabbed a pile of gameboards in her hands. "I'm going to take this back." She chirpily then used her vampire speed to the basement. When she is alone and listens carefully when others left for their room and she can hear Edward left the house to hunt before he goes to see Bella.
Alice placed the boxes on the shelf slowly in human speed as she closed her eyes. '…Ciela… you are perfect for Jasper. I want him to be happy and…' she can perfectly see in her newest memories that Jasper who is truly content and enjoyed playing the games. The teasing, the smirks, the glow in his eyes, and the laughter… Alice never has seen such expressions on Jasper before. Not in her all decades of her vampire life, she can only count her fingers of how many times she has seen Jasper's smile or hear his laughter. Last time she heard his laugh was barely a decade ago and that was when Emmett pranked on Edward, Jasper happened to saw and laughed.
Alice never thought about making her husband smile or laugh. She didn't try hard enough since Jasper is so different from her. His taste, his life, his experiences, his past, his interests, and everything about him has nothing in common with her. Except they both are vampires, but that was it. She knew Jasper is a wonderful husband and always making her happy.
'But… I never try make him happy. Not hard enough. He is always depending on me because I can see visions. Always on guard, always control his bloodlust, and always keep in distance with pain on his face…' she remembered flawlessly when she first wakes up, saw her very first vision when she met Jasper in the diner… she knew that she is meant to meet Jasper at that time. Alice knew that.
However…
'…maybe… maybe I'm meant to be his friend. Maybe I meant to prepare him, to lead him on the right path so he can meet his true love. A real soulmate.' Then she had an epiphany and vision at the same time.
[Alice leaned forward as she looked through the booklet of wedding plans such as locations, colors, flowers, dresses, accessories, and so on. She hummed while flipped the page with serious and excited in her golden eyes. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Ciela looking through the wedding dresses in the latest magazine.
Ciela's topaz eyes glanced up at Alice and turned the magazine around. She pointed at the wedding dress that fits Alice's type of style. Alice narrowed her eyes with thoughtful then they both turned their heads and saw Esme walked to them with a box in her hands.
When Esme send the box down and opened the lid, she took out a beautiful cream-white wedding invitation. She asked Alice about what kind of theme fonts with her name and her fiancée. Alice glanced down and saw her name and before she could read her fiancé name—]
Her vision ends and Alice eyes wide in surprise. She blinked a few times and re-watched her vision once more. They replay the same thing and end the same thing. 'Oh my… I… so, I wasn't meant to be Jasper's eternal mate. He was meant to be with Ciela. I lead the path for Jasper to meet her and… her path… somehow, only she can lead me to find my own real soulmate.' Alice finally understood now then a real smile appeared on her face.
Her undead heart finally lifts with excitement and relief. She won't be alone. Alice knew she has to wait for her soulmate, but she believes she can wait. If she can wait for Jasper for decades in the diner, then she can wait for her real mate in a few years or maybe less. Although, she will truly miss intimate with Jasper since they both do love each other. Alice will have heartbreak; she will be sad and lonely for a while, but she wants to make Jasper happy. After all, he is her best friend and he deserves true happiness.
