Chapter 3

I looked into the large glass window on the side of the Cullens' home. Edward appeared to be explaining something to his family. I averted my eyes when he looked at us out the window. Evidently, he was explaining our situation; which he could do easily since he could read our minds. When I looked at the glass again, all the Cullens—including Renesmee—were staring at us. Nessie's human curiosity drove her to stare at us with her face on the glass.

Edward finally answered the door. "So," he said his eyes skeptical. "You're saying that you're from another dimension."

"To put it simply," I started my eyes totally honest. "Yes, we are saying that."

He paused for a minute to read our minds. "Your thoughts seem pure enough," he said thoughtfully. "But I'm still unsure."

"Please," Amber and her friends pleaded. "We have no other place to go."

Esme chose then to come out. "Come now Edward," she said kindly. "They are just kids and they have read stories about us. Their love of our stories would give me the impression that they are able to keep the secret."

"Alright Esme," he replied. "We will allow them in."

We got in the Cullens' house. Renesmee was looking at all of us. She jumped into who I guessed was Jacob's arms. She touched his face; probably to show him something. "Yes you can show them stuff," he said. She jumped up to Sara's arms and touched her face. Sara's face was happy when Renesmee took her hand off her face. "Oh, thank you," Sara said happily. Renesmee touched every other girl in the room's face. They all had the same reaction as Sara. Every guy in the room turned to Edward to inquire what she had shown all the girls. "She told all of them exactly the same thing," he said, a smirk on his face. "She told all of them that they were pretty." He chuckled after he said that. Mya was happy; she didn't even like Twilight, but Renesmee's cuteness had captivated her too. Mya walked over to Bella who was holding Renesmee.

"May I hold her," Mya asked politely.

"Of course," Bella said warmly.

Renesmee was happy to oblige Mya the liberty of holding her. Mya smiled; apparently, even someone who didn't like the book series was helpless against Renesmee's magic. Renesmee touched her face. After Edward had read the thought he kept looking back and forth from me to Mya with a confused look on his face. Mya had a blank look on her face. I started to wonder what thought Renesmee had put in Mya's head.

After a few hours and much loud banging from outside, Esme came in from whatever she was doing and called all of us ninth graders outside. We went outside and were totally amazed. There were several small housing areas. "They are all the same in room design," Esme began kindly. "However the interior design differs based on your interests. All the houses have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room with a television and two computers. Do not worry about things you will eat; you will most likely eat in our dwelling."

"Wow," everyone said in unison. All of our mouths were large o's. "Whoa," AD began. "You were right she does love to renovate."

"The names of those who live at each house are clearly printed on the doors," Esme shouted over her shoulder. We all scrambled to the houses to quickly find which home was whose. My jaw dropped when I saw who I was roomed with.
