Chapter 11: Meeting the Family/Emmett's Attack

Cecilia's POV

I sat on my bed, bored as can be.

"Cecilia," Karen screamed up the stairs, "I'm going out." I watched her drive the old truck out the driveway. I quickly grabbed my knife/pencil and backpack/bow then headed out the window, into the woods.

I tossed my knife at a tree a few time, then I practiced with my bow. Slowly the familiar ping in my gut that told me a monster was there came. There were two. I tried to ignore it and act natural. When I realized how close they were I quickly turned around and threw the knife. It landed right next to Emmett's head. My eyes went wide when I realized that I almost hit him. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it. What were you so freaked out about anyway, it's only me?" He said tossing me my knife. I was instantly confused. No one else was with him. "What's wrong?" he took a step closer to me.

"No one else is with you?" I asked.

"No," he said, "It's just me why?" At that moment a hellhound came out of the woods, charging at Emmett. He instantly jumped out of the way as I steadied an arrow in my bow. The hound began to charge at me it went to jump at me and I shot the arrow. It hit him dead in the heart. One of his claws cut my face on his down fall, causing me to bleed. "Are you okay" he stopped short. I knew I was in deep shit. His eyes became pitch black. He had smelt my blood.

He instantly charged at me. I quickly dodged, doing an army roll. We were both getting pissed, and you could easily tell. Soon he pushed me so I hit a tree. My eyes instantly flared red. I was mad and anyone could tell. He charged and I quickly climbed a tree. It's too bad I hesitated on my jump. He grabbed my wrist and pushed me against a tree. His hand was at my throat and the red from my eyes disappeared. The anger was quickly replaced with fear. I had a feeling I was gonna die. Soon a pale man with topaz eyes and bronze hair came out and ripped Emmett off of me. He, a woman with brown hair and a man with honey hair were holding him back.

"Get him out of here." A man with platinum blond hair said. He seemed to be the leader. They all nodded and dragged Emmett away. My eyes were still wide as I was trying to process what had just happened. "Are you all right, Cecilia?" he asked in a kind voice. I nodded. He gently took his cold fingers and tilted my head to see my cut. "You'll need stitches, but at least it's a clear cut." I raised an eyebrow.

"Umm, who are you?" I asked as politely as I could.

"Forgive me for not introducing myself. My name is Carlisle Cullen, I'm Emmett's father. This is my wife Esme," he pointed to a kind looking woman with caramel hair, "and you know Alice." She wave to me with a huge smile.

"Oh," I said feeling stupid for not realizing they were his family, "I'm Cecilia Brown."

"Emmett has told us about you." Esme said in a kind-hearted voice. She had this motherly vibe that made me long for my own mother even more than I already did.

"Let's get you back to our house, so I clean up your cut." Carlisle said. I raised an eyebrow at his statement. "I'm a doctor." He stood up and extended his hand. I took his hand as he helped me up. He then flung me over his back and soon he was running faster than speeds I could reach.

Soon we were in what looked to be a study. Carlisle brought out a medical kit and began to stich up the cut.

"What made this cut, Cecilia?" he asked.

"A hellhound," he looked at me curiously, "They're giant black dogs who live in the underworld. It cut me right after I killed it." He nodded. Then a girl who looked to be 8 or 9 with bronze curls and chocolate brown eyes came skipping in. Her skin was a little lighter than Carlisle's but still pale.

"Hi grandpa," she said as hugged. She looked at me and said, "Hi,"

"This is Renesme, Edward and Bella's daughter," he told me, "Renesme, this is Cecilia."

"Hi Cecilia," she said smiling.

"Dr. Cullen"

"Please call me Carlisle."

"Okay, Carlisle, I thought vampires couldn't have children."

"Bella conceived Renesme while she was still human. Edward turned her after she gave birth. Renesme is half human, half vampire." I nodded. Once he finished the stiches, he asked "Cecilia is it alright if I took a look at the bruises Emmett gave you. He is strong so I know you must have some." I nodded and pulled up my sleeve to reveal giant purple bruises that I didn't even realize were there. Renesme gasped.

"Renesme, why don't you go see Auntie Alice and grandma," Carlisle said, remembering she was in the room.

"Okay," she started to skip out of the room but then stopped at the door, "Grandpa, where's Uncle Emmett?"

"He went for a walk, he'll be back soon," Carlisle said, quickly shooing Renesme out of the room.

"I guess he really is as strong as you say." I say.

"Yes but according to Alice, you really put up a fight." He said.

"Wait, how does she know, I thought it was only Emmett and I in the woods."

"Alice can see the future, that's how we knew he was attacking you." He said, putting away his supplies.

"Oh." I said.

"Some vampires have special abilities. Edward can read minds, Bella is a shield, and Jasper can control emotions."

"That's the same for demigods. The special abilities, that is."

"Really," he said. The moment I mentioned demigods he seemed intrigued.

"Yea, depending on the god you could be able to grow plants or even breathe under water."

"That's interesting." After he finished his statement we heard the door open and close. "Edward, Bella and Jasper are home." I followed Carlisle downstairs to see the bronze haired man and the brown haired woman. Edward and Bella.

"Mommy, daddy," Renesme said, running up and hugging them. Edward picked up Renesme while Bella just stared at me.

"Bella, Edward, Jasper this is Emmett's singer, Cecilia. Cecilia these are Renesme's parents, Edward and Bella," he said pointing to the brown haired woman and the bronze haired man, "and Alice's husband, Jasper," pointing to the honey blond man.

"Nice to meet you." I say

"And you," Edward said. He then extended his hand. I shook it. "Here is your knife." He handed me my knife.

"Thank you," I said. I tapped the hilt three times and turned it back into a pencil.

"Wow," Jasper said, "Can I see that?"

"Sure," I handed him the pencil.

"This pretty cool," he said. He tapped the pencil three times and turned it back into a knife.

"My bow does the same thing," I said. I pulled the string, turning it into a backpack. They all stared at me amazed. We all ended up talking for hours.

"Alice, why don't you take Cecilia home, she must be tired," Carlisle said after he heard me yawn. I said good bye to everyone and Alice drove me home.

"I'll see you later Alice," I said. I went into my room and lay down on my bed. My thoughts were all on Emmett.

Emmett's POV

I sat in a tree with my head in my hands. I just couldn't believe that I had almost killed her. I almost drained Cecilia because of a scratch along her cheek. After she had protected me against that...that thing. And how do I repay her? By attacking her. I hopped down from the branch and punched the trunk of the tree. I hated myself so much. It wouldn't surprise me if she never talked to me again. Or if she broke up with me. God, how could I be so stupid and let me instincts take over. I know I gave here more than a few bruises when I shoved her against the tree. When she dodged my attack and her eyes turned red, I could tell she was pissed. Her eyes probably turn that way because of her father. "How could I have been so stupid?" I said hitting the tree again.

**A nice long chapter for all ya'll**
