Chapter two
I was sitting on the couch, waiting, when u heard the front door open then close. I had to force myself to stay on the couch, I didn't want to scare Emmett, I wanted him to come to me when he was ready.
"Can I go see Rosalie?" I heard him ask Carlisle, a satisfied smile came over my face.
"How about you go get changed first. Alice has gotten an entire wardrobe ready for you." Carlisle answered. Emmett laughed and I knew that Carlisle must have told him about Alice.
I heard his footsteps going up the stairs and decided I couldn't just sit and wait. I stood and went to a mirror to examine the outfit Alice had chosen for me. It was a pale purple eyelet dress, it was sleeveless and went just below the knees, and was paired with a pair of closed toe two inch, silver heels (This is still around the 1930's or so, so the style is different). I let my hair flow in golden ringlets down my back.
I wonder if Emmett would like me? I can't believe I am actually thinking this, I don't even know this man yet I feel so strongly for him, I don't know what this feeling even is.
"I think it would be a little something called love." I heard behind me. I spun around and saw Edward standing behind me.
"It is not Edward, I don't even know him." I said, but secretly wondered if maybe he was right.
"He is right I think." I heard Jasper, who had just walked into the room, say. "The emotion is coming off of you very strongly." I was about to abject further when I heard Carlisle calling me.
I left the two boys and went to find Carlisle.
"How did he take the news?" I asked when I saw him.
"He was a little freaked out at first, but he understands everything. When I told him that you were a vampire too, it seemed to calm him down a bit. He is in your room, he wants to see you." I nodded and went to my room, sudden excitement filling me. I heard Jasper laugh from downstairs.
Edward please help me out here and shut him up. Hit him or something. I pleaded with my thoughts, hoping that for once Edward would help me.
Sure enough I heard a thud followed by and "Ow!" coming from Jasper. I smiled, thank you Edward.
I opened the door slowly and walked into the room, trying to be slow so I would scare Emmett, just in case. He turned around quickly when he heard the door open, his face relaxed when he saw it was me. "Its you." He said, his voice was loud and musical, "The angel I saw when I thought I was dying. I thought I was imagining you but I wasn't, you're really here." I nodded, for the first time I was unsure of what to say. When I had first wanted to save him, the resemblance to my friend's child was all I saw, now that I get I better look at him I realized that there is much more to it than that.
First off he is big, he is one of the most muscular people I have ever seen, and he is gorgeous, probably the most handsome guy I have ever seen.
"How are you?" I ask, because I don't know what else to say.
"Well this is all a little weird, but I'm okay, I feel stronger than I ever have. Though the red eyes do kind of creep me out." He said with a huge smile.
"That will fade eventually," For some reason I felt the need to apologize for doing this to him, "Emmett I'm sorry."
"For what?" HE asked curiously, coming closer to me.
"I saw you getting attacked by that bear and I couldn't stand it so I brought you here and asked Carlisle to make you one of us so you wouldn't die. But now I have given you a life worse than death." I didn't look at him as I said this.
"Don't say that, I would much rather this than be dead, now I get to live. Theoretically speaking, of course." I laughed at his simple reasoning, he had no idea what life like this would be like. "So, how did you get to be like this? If you don't mind me asking." He added.
This was a story I didn't like to tell much, but something in me told me I had to tell him so I sat down on the bed, he sat right next to me and I told him.
"I was from a wealthy family, and known as the most beautiful girl, everyone expected the best from me. When I was old enough my family arranged a marriage, the man they chose seemed perfect, he was wealthy, young, handsome, he had everything. I was happy to be marrying him, though I did not love him, I loved the fact that he was the best. The day before my wedding I was at a dear friend of mine's house. She had married a man that she was madly in love with and they had a small boy, you actually reminded me of him, he had a dimple and curly hair just like you." Emmett smiled at this but didn't say anything as he waited for me to continue.
"Anyway, I was walking home from her house, it was fairly late so I was walking quickly when I heard laughing coming from an ally. I saw that it was my fiancé and some of his friends. I could smell the alcohol on them as they got closer, I knew that they were all drunk. They came over to me and my fiancé started talking saying things about how I was prettier than all the other wives. And how I should show them all just how pretty I was. He ripped my hair pins out and started ripping at my clothes. He raped me that night, him and all of his friends. Then they left me in the middle of the road, they were laughing ass they left. It started snowing and I thought, this is it, I am going to die right here the day before my wedding. Then Carlisle came and brought me back to his home and changed me." I had been talking and hadn't realized that Emmett's arm had found its way around my shoulders, and he was now holding me comfortingly.
"Well I hope you got them back somehow." He said bitterly. I smiled and nodded.
"I killed them, saving my fiancé for last." I said shyly. Emmett's booming laugh filled the room.
"That should probably be weird, but for some reason I think it's hilarious." I laughed with him now too.
"Yeah I thought so too." I said. I turned and saw Emmett staring at me curiously. I stared into his eyes and suddenly I could look away and for a moment we were just sitting there, staring into each other's eyes.
That is until Alice walked right in. "Hi Emmett!" she said in her high voice. He turned away slowly to look at her curiously. She skipped over and gave him a big hug. "Welcome to the family, we are going to have so much fun! Another person I get to get clothes for." She stopped and glared at him, "You had better be more willing with clothes than Edward is." Emmett was about to speak but Alice held up her hand to stop him, she had that far away look that meant she was having a vision, then a smile crept onto her face.
"You will be, your scared of me and you don't want to get on my bad side." Alice sad happily, she hugged him again and then left the room, leaving Emmett stunned.
I turned and looked at him curiously, "you are scared of the little pixie?" I asked.
"She has so much energy, it's like she could attack at any moment." He said still watching the door.
I laughed and stood off the bed. This was going to be interesting, I knew that much already.
