Disclaimer – I do not own any characters from the twilight books.
Influxes of questions were coming my way such as: 'who are you?' 'Where did you come from?' 'Can you do anything special?' 'Edward what's she thinking?' 'Jasper what's she feeling?' 'Alice is she staying here long?'
Some of these annoyed me. It gave the impression that they didn't what me here. Maybe I was running there cover story. Maybe I should never have put my self up for adoption. The questions keep coming from every which way. Until Carlisle hushed them all and he introduced the family and there talents if any.
"This is Esme, My wife." He gestured towards a lady with caramel colored hair. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"And this is Jasper; he can pick up and change your emotions." He nodded towards a boy with blondish coloured hair who was stilling next to Alice.
"This is Edward and Bella; Edward can read minds and His with Bella." I nodded at them knowing Bella from lunch. She looked different to all of them.
"And this is Rosalie and Emmett. Emmett is a bit stronger than us all." I smiled at the couple and Emmett smiled back.
"And of course you have met Alice. I don't know if she has told you yet but she can see the future." Alice smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Now have you any special talents?" Carlisle kind of put me on the spot with that one and I got a bit nervous.
A few seconds later I felt absolutely calm, like I had been sleeping for 6 days. I knew it was jasper thou. This sudden calmness could not be normal. So I started my story. "I have higher senses than other vampires and I can match any humans or vampires senses to match mine and then take it away when I want."
They all started mumbling about my talent, and how they have never heard of it before. It was pretty funny actually, mainly because I have had very little vampire interaction in my 232 years. I basically spent them roaming around doing what ever I felt like.
"So, Lilly, What brings you to Forks?" Carlisle asked, seeming to be the calmest of the bunch.
"I put my self up for adoption in California, Claiming my parents abandoned me. A few days later I was adopted my Shay and Jamie Ross. It didn't take them long to pick me and they were never suspicious about anything." I replied.
"That's very interesting that you put yourself up for adoption. And what's your plan when they figure out your not aging?"
"I was thinking about that this morning actually. Well, I plan to do it quickly and smoothly, with a simple note. They will understand that I have to go out on my own."
"Ahhhh. I see, well at least your story is true. Well I guess you look a lot like us so that will be a problem. We could make something up, any ideas anyone?"
"She could be my cousin. We have almost the same hair, or Esme's niece." Emmett said.
"That could work. Esme?" Carlisle was asking Esme if she agrees.
"Anything to protect another vegetarian vampire. Speaking of which, how did you find out about this life style?" Esme asked.
"Umm. Well, some of the nomads told me. Laurent and some others." I replied
"Well I would be glad to have you as my niece. Will we be telling your parents?"
"I don't know?"
"If we tell them they will understand and give you the choice to live with us or stay with them. If you chose to stay with us they will move back to California and adopted another child." Alice was predicting the future of what would happen.
I thought about that for a minute. If I was to write them my goodbye letter and come and live here without going to school I could be happier than I am with them and be among my own kind. I started to panic but then I felt very calm. I knew this sudden calmness was not brought on by me. It was Jasper, so he wanted to play games did he? Well I can play games.
I looked at Jasper who had a very smug look on his face, then I thought 'it's on' and Edward giggled a little.
"What's so funny?" Bella asked Edward.
"Watch and see." He replied.
I made Jaspers sight better, and he rubbed his eyes at what he could see. Obviously what I was seeing. This was every little detail in the room right down to little bumps in the paint on the walls.
I started to feel very excited, another one of jaspers tricks I thought about what I could do to him to even out the playing field.
"Hey Bella? Let's go to the meadow this could get ugly if were here." Edward asked Bella.
"Umm. Sure." Bella replied.
When they were gone I made his hearing better. He fell to the couch with his hands cupped over his ears. I stopped at that knowing I was causing him pain.
"I'm sorry." And I was I didn't mean to hurt him.
"How do you put up with that?" Jasper asked me.
"I was born with enhanced senses. I lived all my life with it."
"OK, you win."
I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"But this is not over." We smiled at each other and the whole room started laughing.
"OK back to business. Lilly, what do you want to do? We will be happy to have you here with us. Or if you could think of another idea?" Carlisle asked.
I pictured myself doing my plan hoping Alice would see it.
"Not a bad idea, Lilly I like it then you could stay with us. How about this Carlisle- Lilly does her letter and comes and lives with us but not go to school she can keep Esme company though the day. She can be like a daughter." Alice said excited.
I looked at Carlisle awaiting his answer to my idea……
