I was with Emmett downstairs, just watching pointless sports. Nessie was with her father, playing piano. Alice and Esme were with Carlisle in his study, discussing the layout of the new house. Whilst Jacob, Rosalie and Jasper were in the garage tuning up Jake's bike, along with Jasper's.
When Carlisle was told of our new arrivals, time just suddenly decided to speed up. Emily and Sam went on their honeymoon, so Jacob was Alpha of the whole pack for two weeks. Alice had enjoyed setting up a guest room for our arrivals and was also planning a shopping trip for them too. Love to see how that goes.
Although I was nervous, worried and concerned about our new arrivals, I couldn't help but feel excited to meet them and hopefully be able to get along with them, and maybe call them friends.
Alice then entered the living room and I knew they were nearly here.
"How long Alice?" I asked.
"3 minutes and 35 seconds to be exact," she replied and smiled triumphantly.
All of a sudden the whole family were in the living room and seated. I could then hear a car coming up the drive.
I placed Nessie on my lap and she was bouncing up and down; if I didn't know better I would have thought that she was excited, probably with the thought of new friends. Edward seated himself next to me and Jacob sat on the floor and leant onto my legs. Alice and Jasper were both in the loveseat and in the other was Emmett and Rose. The couch was left for Carlisle, Esme and our guests to sit on. Carlisle and Esme were waiting by the door so they could greet our guests once they arrived.

"Edward, can you listen to our guests when they arrive please?" Carlisle thought, and I just simply nodded.
All of my family's minds were in overdrive, and it would have given me a headache, had I still been human.
"They better be veggies' otherwise I'm giving them some ground rules," Jacob thought and I couldn't help but smirk.
"I hope she likes shopping, if not I have another Bella on my hands," Alice was thinking. Typical.
"I need a new handbag. I'm bored of mine, and I've only had it for 3 days", Rosalie thought, never thinking of anyone but herself.
"I'm gonna get new friends. I'm gonna get new friends," Nessie kept chanting.
Emmett was nearly on the same tune as Nessie. "We are so going bowling, once all this important news is over. Best way to break the ice, and gives me a chance to show them just what I can do". I couldn't help but think that Emmett really was a big kid at heart.
Bella had her shield up, and I felt her put it around Nessie also, always the cautious, but caring person that I fell in love with. She still never ceases to amaze me.
Then the car arrived outside and stopped. The doors opened and closed simultaneously.
"Are you still sulking over me driving the car, honey?" asked a male voice.
"No, but now I'm gonna have to change the seat, and it took ages to get it the way I wanted it. We'll talk about this later, we have people to meet," replied a sweet, but slightly annoyed, female voice. It reminded me of Alice when in an irritable mood.
But, when I thought over their conversation, it didn't make any sense. They weren't speaking to each other directly, they were thinking to each other. How did they do that?
Just then the door bell rang and Esme opened the door. Esme brightened up and greeted our guests with a welcoming smile, quickly followed by Carlisle.
"Welcome, it's so good to finally meet you," Esme said.
The woman then spoke, and it sounded like bells chiming in the middle of summer. "Thank you for letting us come. We're sorry it's so short notice."
The man continued for her. "We would have asked permission, but we felt this is a matter of importance, and time wasn't really negotiable."
"Wish I had more time. My hair is hardly straight, and it's beginning to curl," Rosalie thought. I just decided to tune her out. All her thoughts were leading in one direction.
"We understand. Please come in, we're all are very eager to know your news and yourselves. Some more than others," Carlisle greeted.
"I think I'm gonna like it here," the woman thought.
The door opened wider and two pairs of feet entered our home. Carlisle and Esme led the way and our guests followed.
"I guess the werewolf is here too," the man thought.
"Oh well, at least these ones don't bite. At least I hope not; I'm wearing Chanel. If he wants a fight he'll have one if he damages this," the woman rambled.
"I have a strange feeling that you're going to get on perfectly well with Alice," the man stated.
"How strange I was thinking the same thing," the woman replied, and I agreed.
What was going on? Are they talking and I'm the only one listening, or are they both mind readers. I think I'm getting a headache. Is that even possible?

Carlisle and Esme entered the living room, and the first to step in was the woman. She was breathtaking. I think I heard Rosalie gasp. Edward must have heard Rosalie's gasp and thoughts, because he began to snigger on my shoulder. I could feel Rosalie's glare on Edward, and a smile crept upon my face. He composed himself but a look of confusion replaced his smile.
The woman had shoulder length black hair and her skin was beautifully pale. Her legs were her best feature, because they were long and athletic. I envied her for them. Her eyes were ... were... topaz. She was like us. I already felt safer with them both being around Renesmee. She had lovely high cheekbones and perfectly shaped lips. I could see why Rosalie gasped. But they were both beautiful in their own way.
Her mate followed suit. He looked as tall as Jasper, and almost as intimidating as Emmett. He had the same shade of pale skin as his mate, and it was equally as beautiful as hers. His eyes were topaz also. They both must have hunted recently. He had brown hair which looked as if he had run against the wind too much because it was everywhere. But it suited him.
They both wore jeans, but he wore converse, while she wore grey heels that complimented her blouse. He wore a plain white t-shirt, which clearly showed his muscular physique. As they walked to the centre of the room, they held each other's hands, glancing at each other. They then gave each other a confident smile, to say they were both okay. They seemed, from first glance, the perfect couple.
Carlisle and Esme stood beside the man and woman; probably for support, as well as seeing our reactions for whatever was coming. Esme gestured for them to be seated, and they did. They sat directly opposite us, which to me would make me feel nervous and very intimidated.
The woman smiled and the spoke first. "I guess introductions are in order. My name is Ruby Blake, and this is my husband and mate, Logan."
Logan then spoke. "Before you tell us, we already know your names and your talents."
I blurted out without realising it. "How do you know?"
Ruby gave a brief chuckle and answered. "You're famous, and our friends are your friends. Like Garrett and Tanya. I can hear all of you as well."
Suddenly Edward's eyes opened, as if an unasked question was answered.
Ruby gave a cheeky smile and giggled. "I guess I should answer as to how I can hear you, because I can see Edward is eager to know. As I guess the rest of you are!"
We all glanced at one another, and turned back to look at our guest to continue.
"I have the talent to read minds, like you Edward. But my talent has progressed to a stage, where not only can I read minds, but I can put my thoughts into your head."
I heard Jacob mumble. "Great. Just what we need. Another mind reader. Wasn't one enough?"
I punched him for being so rude.
"Don't worry. I won't place my thoughts in your head, unless I thought it was necessary, or I had your permission. And I will try my hardest to not listen to your thoughts," Ruby replied very civilly. I could tell we were going to get along.
Carlisle turned to ask a question, before anyone else could. "If you wouldn't mind asking, did it first start with reading minds? Then projecting thoughts?"
"Yes," she replied. "I've been a vampire for 117 years, and it was only in the last 40 years or so, that I have been able to project them."
"So what about you Logan? Do you have any talents that we should know about?" Esme asked.
"I only have one gift you should know about. I can tamper with people's memory. I could delete a memory, or add a completely new one. I can wipe a person's memories and make them believe whatever I want them to," Logan grimaced at the last example of his talent.
"That's some talent you have, Logan. Is it possible if you could both tell us how you became vampires?" I enquired.
Logan then looked at Ruby, and before anyone could say anything, Ruby stood up and walked outside.
"I'm sorry, but can we have that discussion later please? Ruby will have to compose herself for her past. Both of our pasts are not for the ears of Renesmee, I'm sorry," Logan finished.
"Do not apologise, we understand completely. Do you mind if I show you the room you will be staying in?" Alice asked and Logan simply nodded, making Alice smile.
Don't forget to review!! :D
