Hey guys, yeah, I'm writing a lot lately. Two days till school let's out here; so I'm revving up for the summer break in which I plan to write a lot. So for those of you who have been waiting to meet Christina here is your chapter. I've re-read new moon and eclipse (sadly I don't own a twilight yet) so I'm more on track with my perception for those who thought it was off. Sooooo... you know I'm trying to kill you all with impatience... but here is again a little reminder:
ED: hey whatcha doin?
ME: since when do you say whatcha? and doin?
ED: hey it's your imagination but I have to be mean real quick. Who owns Twilight and all other such items?
ME: -muttering depressingly- Stephenie Meyer -lower lip sticks out in a pout-
ED: -chuckle- good girl maybe I'll give you a kiss for your honesty
ME:-suddenly perky- Really?
BELLA: No, he's not. You should know this by now.
ED: WHAAAAAAA!! -brief tantrum-
BELLA: oh what could a kiss on the cheek hurt?
ED: Here you go!
ME: YA!! I got a kiss from Edward!!
Ok now here is your story.
Chapter 7
Bella's POV
Last night had been wonderful. The way Edward had held her had thrown her for a loop the whole night. They had made plans for me to go over today and them to answer some of my questions. I brushed my teeth and hair but didn't bother with my Pj's before I went downstairs. I put some pop tarts into the toaster and poured some milk to dunk them in.
"Bella, could you come in here for a minute," maria called from their room. Both of them were in their bed and watching the Tv.
"Hey, bells," said Charlie a little too easily. it immediately made me suspicious. "Do you have any plans for today?"
I answered warily, "Yeah, why?"
"Well, we have a surprise for you. How long do you think you'll be out?" Maria asked.
"I was planning on going to the Cullen's house for lunch. I should be back by dinner time."
"That's fine, just try to make it back before dinner."
"Ok, if you don't mind I think my breakfast is ready. I'll probably leave in about an hour. See you at dinner."
Rosalie's POV
It wasn't enough that this infatuation with the human girl had progressed this far, but now she was coming over for lunch. Hmm... I wonder what she would taste like.
"Not even a chance," Edwards voice carried through the house bringing a sense of forbidding. I shuddered at how that made me feel... not only was he "falling in love with her", but he would actually threaten me for thinking thoughts that he was probably thinking, too.
"You maybe right about that, but I also am trying very hard not to hurt her; unlike you. If you even so much as think of licking her I will make sure you won't do it again." again with the deadly malice, unconcealed in his voice. Maybe I wouldn't go near her when she came today.
Edward's POV
Wasn't it enough that only carlisle and Esme hadn't disapproved of my telling Bella about us. Even though I could sense it in their thoughts, they never said it out loud because they knew she would make me happy.
Bella's mind might not be open to me and it might just drive me nuts but that was Ok for me. I could tell her emotions in her eyes; she was such a bad liar and even worse at hiding her feelings. I could smell her truck, wheezing and coughing the whole way up the driveway. When she got out, it took my breath away as a breeze flew past her with the affect of setting a hot pie next to a fan, sending the intoxicating sent to my delicate nose. I paused to regain my control.
She walked up to the porch, and on the last step she tripped; flying towards me. We spent the next few hours talking about each other. I learned that her mother, Renee, constantly moved due to her husband's current occupation and that she had always been a klutz. One of her more interesting questions about me was if we could go out in sunlight.
"We can, it won't hurt us or anything, but it would be very evident that we aren't human as soon as the light hit us." I replied chuckling as I saw her eyes widen. Yet another myth dispelled.
"Will you show me one day?" she asked. "Well, of course we'll have to wait for a sunny day to do it." this seemed to bring another question to her mind, but she did not say it out loud.
"What? What is it you want to ask me?"
"Well, would you take me hunting too one day." the words were a rush out of her mouth almost as if she couldn't help the curiosity eating at her. I immediately stiffened thinking about those few moments of pure instinct and what her scent would do to me while in that trance like state.
"NO! Absolutely not! There is no way you could be out there while I'm driving on pure instinct, do you know how fast you would be dead... or changed to-to a soulless being like me? No." My voice had a sudden edge to it.
After that she dropped the subject and I was grateful for that relief.
Christina's POV
My parent's had told me about Bella, of course. They wanted me to at least know I had a sister I might meet one day. My stomach fluttered thinking about how, in just a few hours, I would meet my half sister who shared my father. I wondered what she would be like. Was she a nice person; the type to give you fun days to remember, or was she mean and selfish. I desperately hoped it was the former. I would absolutely hate it if she was mean.
I thought about how if she was mean, we would have to endure each other for two whole weeks while I was back from boarding school. I seriously hoped she was nice. I was only in 7th grade, but I heard she was a junior. I wondered if she had any dating experience, and if she did would she teach me. I drifted off to sleep for an hour and when I woke up I as the pilot was announcing we were getting ready to land. A few bumpy minutes later, I was getting my luggage and laughing at Charlie. We got home and I informed my parents in on what was going on at boarding school. What we were learning how the new English professor was, friends, living conditions, blah, blah blah. Finally, mom started to make steak and potatoes for dinner.
There was a sudden roar as a very noisy vehicle pulled into our drive way. My breath caught and my heart sped up, she was here. My earlier worries hit me like a bowling ball hitting pins in a perfect strike.
"Dad, Maria, I'm back. Now what was this surprise you wanted to tell me about." a new voice called from the hallway, while the door slammed shut. A tall, willowy girl with strait brown hair and brown eyes walked into the kitchen. She stopped when she saw me, and then she laughed. "Who's this? Are you enlisting me to be the local babysitter or something? I'm not good with kids though."
"Um..." I couldn't get my mind to wrap around anything besides the fact she had thought I was a kid.
Mom jumped in and saved me though, "Actually, she is the surprise... but she is your half sister. She will be going to boarding school until this summer. Then she will be enrolling in Forks high school. I wanted to tell you a while ago but Charlie didn't think it was a good idea since you'd already had enough shocks for a while. This is Christina Marie by the way."
"Hi," I said tentatively. It unnerved me that all she did was look at me. Her eyes were blank with shock for a while. Then she plopped down with a humph and looked at me some more.
"So how old are you?" she seemed genuinely interested in the question. I was relieved and she continued to quiz me until dinner was served. When that was done, she sighed and went up to her room. I followed her shyly and when I knocked she said to come in.
"Not quite what you expected your surprise to be like, huh? I mean, I knew about you; I thought that Charlie was being nice. I never would have wanted so many shocks in the last month that I would have shut down by now." I realized I was rambling and shut up abruptly. She looked at me and sighed.
"You know, there's more to it then what you think. I've also started dating Edward Cullen." she sighed with pleasure.
May jaw dropped as I thought of the huge and very scary Cullen that stood out in my mind. Catching my expression, she quickly said, "No, no, no! That one is Emmet, the big bear like one. Yeah that's Emmet. Just wait till you meet him. He's like a bear only a teddy bear, if he wasn't so big, and muscular, and frightening... but you get the point." She laughed and we began to talk about how her life had been and her mother. That night as I fell asleep, I realized all my fears were completely useless and stupid.
