While we waited for everyone to leave she asked me questions, lots of questions. It pretty much went down like this:
"So why are you here?" Alice asked in a confused voice.
"I was adopted from California by Shay and Jamie Ross." I replied.
"You mean you were actually adopted. You mean, like, that's just not your cover story?"
"No, I don't have a cover story because it's all true except for my age."
"Oh, really? How old are you then?"
"I was born-" I stopped to see if anyone was around. No one was so the coast looked clear. "I was born May 9th 1763. And changed May 5th 14 years later. So that makes it 1777. I was about to turn 15." I explained.
"Oh! Well, your pretty young, Carlisle will be interested in you."
"How old are you? And who's Carlisle?"
"I don't know how old I am, I can't remember anything about my life as a human" she sounded sad about that. "And Carlisle is mine and my family's 'adopted' father."
"I can't wait to meet him." She turned and smiled at me.
By this time everyone had left and gone home. I had called Jamie to tell him that I was going to a friend's house who I'd meet today. When they asked who my friend was I told them Alice Cullen. And they knew who she was so they aloud me to go to her house. Alice told me to tell them that she would drop be off at home around six or seven. They seemed so happy that I had made a friend. I also told them about Dominic and her friends they seemed even happier about that. I was glad they were happy.
"Lilly, I think we can go now." Alice chimed sounding excited.
"Yea, sure." I replied showing just about the same level of enthusiasm.
"This way." She gestured with her hand into the deep, dense forest.
After my assessment of what she was doing she was off running. I followed her she was quiet fast. The forest on the way to her house was beautiful, not that I hadn't been in the forest before. I just never got a change to look at everything. I was always so quick to not get caught out of bed. If Shay or Jamie caught me out of bed, out side, hunting and drinking animals dry I would defiantly get to an asylum or something.
"OK, were here." Alice said with that excitement in her voice again.
There house was very big and most of the walls were windows. It looked about 3 stories or so high. If the walls weren't windows the paint was a very light cream almost white. It was surrounded by big trees and a stream on one side of the house. There were ferns leading up the drive to the house. If I ever dreamed of a house full of vampires living in one place, all in the one house, it would never have looked like this.
"What do you think?" Alice asked.
"It's brilliant!" It truly was.
"Well let's get you inside to meet the rest of the family."
I was a little nervous at this point. I hadn't run into any vampires for so long now. Did they know who I was? Have they heard of me before? Did they know what I could do? What would they think of me? I felt like I needed to slap myself, hitting the hysteria was not something I did very often.
I followed Alice inside. She looked like a dancer with all the balance and grace she had wrapped into the tiny package that was Alice. The inside of the house was even better than the outside. The windows played to there full effect, it was so bright and open. There were paintings and drawings hung all over the walls. Even a crucifix by the stairs, now that was odd.
When I was looking around the stairs, suddenly a tall, blond, movie star looking vampire walked down the stairs. I assumed this was Carlisle. Because he wasn't at school.
"Hello, Lilly. My name is Carlisle Cullen. Please, come up stairs, make yourself at home." Carlisle was so nice and caring. He looked very intelligent, like a doctor.
"Hello Carlisle. You have a very nice house and thank you." Never forget the manners. That's what my mum always told me.
"Thank you." He beamed.
The upstairs of the house held a living room and kitchen (from what I saw). In the living room, which was where he led me, was 5 other vampires. Alice ran to join them. Sitting with one of the vampires, a male with bronze hair, was a human. I took this to be Bella.
Suddenly there was 7 vampires and a human looking at me. They kept opening their mouths like they were about to say something but nothing came out. Then the human said something. It was just a mumble but I heard her.
"Wow. Another one." Bella said. And on that note the conversation started rolling…..
