Chapter 6: Life With The Cullens
Alexia's POV
I moved in with the Cullens the day after I had ended up in the hospital. Normally I would have been kept there for a few more days due to the extent of my injuries. But since Carlisle was a really good doctor he convinced the hospital to let me out early so that I could go home with him. He had already been working with the hospital for a few years and he was really well known. Therefore none of the other doctors or personnel at the hospital had any reason to distrust him or his family.
I really loved his whole family. They were also extremely nice and welcoming toward me. I loved it. I met their kids Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and Alice. It was too bad that I could not meet Edward and Bella. I wished that I could have met them. But they are too busy looking for their long lost daughter. The Cullens had not even heard from them in years. I know they were saddened that they had lost touch with Edward and Bella. They wanted Edward and Bella back as well as their daughter. Nobody ever once said the name of their daughter. I asked why that was and Esme told me that it was just to painful to mention her name. They were so saddened by the fact that she had run away that they could not even say her name anymore. They refused to even talk about the circumstances that led to her decision to run away. All I knew was that they blamed themselves for her running away. Maybe one day I would be able to get the truth out of them, or maybe not. Who knows?
Apparently I looked exactly like Bella did when she was a human though. They all have said at one time or another that it was scary how much I resembled human Bella. They have even said that sometimes they forget that I'm not her. It only made me more curious about her. I wished that they would at least show me a picture of her. I wanted to see for myself what she looked like. Maybe I was a doppelganger or something. If vampires, shape-shifters, and hybrids could exist then what is to say that other mythical supernatural creatures don't really exist as well.
But I enjoyed being with the Cullens. Alice was definitely my best friend. In the short time that we have known each other we have become close friends. She wanted me to hurry up and heal so Carlisle would allow her to drag me to all the best malls.
Emmett and Jasper were like my brothers now. They were much different from my actual brothers. These two actually showed interest in me. They seemed to genuinely care about me.
Carlisle and Esme were something else entirely. They worried about me like if they were my mother and father. I think they just like having someone that they could actually take care of. Sure they had their other children, but they didn't really need them. They could take care of themselves. But not me. Not the injured human anyway. But I loved it. It really touched my heart the way that they all seemed to really care about me, a total stranger. We had only known each other a few days and they already treated me like I was family. Which is more then I could say for my real family.
The only member of the family that didn't seem to like me very much was Rosalie. She didn't like that a human knew their secret and she thought that I was just a liability to her and her family. She thought that I might accidentally, or purposely, tell their secret. What made her even more upset was that I refused to reveal just how I knew about vampires, wolves, and hybrids. She was actually pretty cold with me. I didn't get what her problem was was with me. But I learned pretty quickly that I should just stay out of her way. Which I did not mind doing. Who wants to hang around a vampire that seems to hate you for no reason other than the fact I knew their secret? Not me that's for sure. Not when you want to scream out "If looks can kill!" every single time that you cross paths with her.
I still felt a pang of sadness every time I thought about my real family. I loved them and I missed them dearly. Sometimes I thought about going back to them. But I don't think that is such a great idea. They would probably just go right back to ignoring me and pretending that I don't even exist. The Cullens keep trying to convince me to tell them who my real family is and they continuously try to convince me that I should go back. I know Rosalie would love to escort me out of the house herself if it meant I would leave and never come back.
On the fifth day of my stay with the Cullens I was left alone while they all went hunting. I was walking around the house when I came across a photo album that had just been left on the table. I wasn't sure what it was about that photo album that drew me in, but I had to see it. It was beckoning to me.
I was flipping through it page after page. Then I saw two people that I did not recognize. The woman looked exactly like me. Only she was a vampire. This had to be Bella then. Why did I look exactly like her? That was weird. Was I related to her somehow? I assumed that the boy she was with must be Edward. They had a little girl with them that looked a lot like my mother. To much like her actually. It couldn't be? Could it? I continued to go through the photo album when I came across what I sure was a picture of my mother as she looks today. It was her. I stared at it in absolute shock. This was my mother. There was also a picture of her with my father in here. There were no names in the photo album but I just knew that it was my parents. It had to be them. They looked exactly the same as they do now. The Cullens were my family.
I suddenly felt the photo album being ripped from my hands. It was taken so forcefully from me that it even left cuts on my hands.
"Hey!" I shouted then I looked up to see that it was Rosalie that had taken it from me.
"Don't you ever touch my stuff!" she actually growled at me and it scared me.
"Rose!" I heard Esme shout.
"Renesmee" I whispered, forgetting for the moment that I was in a room full of vampires that could easily hear me no matter how low I whispered.
"What did you say?" Carlisle asked me.
"The name of the girl that ran away is Renesmee isn't it? She is my mother. She and Jacob are my parents"
