Hey everyone! Ya'll had such a wonderful response, I just had to get writing on the second chapter. As always I own nothing, and all rights belong to any original owners! Now oooooonnnnn with the show! Okay have fun reading!
So the full summary wouldn't fit; so here's the full one: Edward Cullen has been wandering the world for over a millennium, with his coven of vampires. Edward has a secret though-he's the creator of all vampires. He's cold, ruthless, and nobody can stop him. Until he stumbles upon a little human girl with brown hair and chocolate colored eyes. With one look into her eyes, she has him wrapped around her tiny finger, and he knows why-she is his mate.
Chapter Two: Coming Home
Walking with Isabella was nothing short of pure bliss. She held my hand in her tiny, and exceptionally frail one, and her stuffed bear in the other hand. Every so often she would glance up and catch my eyes, and she would give me a small, shy smile.
I decided to speak, "Isabella would you like to come home with me?" Not that she had a choice really. She murmured a small, soft yes. So soft that if I wasn't who I was, vampire, I wouldn't have heard it.
"My name is Edward. You can call me that. What's your name?" I asked her.
She glanced up, "My name is Isabella, but I like Bella more."
"Then Bella you shall be. How old are you, Bella?"
"I'm six years old. Seven in September."
"Your mother said you were born in April."
"Mommy got it wrong," she offered no other information, aside from that.
Bella was still to young to be my mate, in the true sense of the word anyway. I would have to wait ten years, at least. However I would always be there for here, and become everything she needed me to be-when she needed me to be it. Now I would be her best friend, and play mate. As she got older I will become her confidant, and advisor. Eventually I would become her mate, in the true sense of the word, but not for a while.
As we passed a white house with a picket fence and a small boy playing out outside, I felt Bella tense. I glanced at her questionably. She pulled on my hand and whispered, "Hurry." She wouldn't have been able to pull me had I not let her.
I was about to ask why when the boy called out, "Hey Bella! When are you going to admit that your mother doesn't want you? That nobody wants you," I saw Bella flinch, and I saw red. Nobody, I mean, nobody talked to my mate like that.
I was in front of him in a flash. I wouldn't hurt him physically, as much as I wanted to pummel him, crush him for making my angel hurt. I bared my teeth in a sort of smile that terrified him. I spoke letting ice drip into my voice, but the words themselves were pleasant enough. "It's rude to make fun of people, little boy." The boy visibly paled at my words. Just then his father ran out of the house.
"What is going on here? Who are you?" the father demanded. I felt my fingers twitch, wanting to smack him. The father was ruder than the boy was. I do suppose the boy had to learn from someone though.
I pulled myself together, "I was just telling this boy he shouldn't pick on people."
"Who are you to tell my son what to do?"
"Who is he to laugh at the expense of others?" I asked him a question in turn. The father glared at my words. I rolled my eyes at him this was getting boring.
I stared into the father's eyes, "Your son is a rude boy. You will teach him manners. Before Isabella and I leave, you will make your son apologize to her. Understood?"
"Yes," the father was completely under my command. I broke the connection.
"Tyler, tell Isabella here that you are sorry," the father said while blinking rapidly.
"What? But…but…"
"No buts Tyler. Do it now."
"Fine," stupid petulant child, "I'm sorry Isabella." I wanted to smack the sarcasm right out of the kid. However there was an apology. However much that meant.
Bella looked at her feet, "It's fine, Tyler."
"Good evening," I nodded at Tyler and his father, took Bella's hand and began to walk away.
By the time we had reached Cullen Manor I learned quite a few things about Bella. Her favorite color was red, favorite food was Ravioli, she liked classical music, she hated the rain, and disliked the color yellow. She was allergic to raspberries, and she smelled like freesia, a most wonderful scent. I was happy that it didn't make me hunger for her blood. She's never met her father, and she was happy that I was taking her away from her mommy. I was happy too.
Before we could reach the door, it flew open and there stood Alice in the doorway. She gave me a knowing look, "Why hello there. My name is Alice, and I can tell we're going to be the best of friends."
I could tell Bella was stunned by Alice's behavior. I felt a little bad that I hadn't prepared Bella at all. I didn't feel bad that I didn't prepare the Cullen Coven. They had Alice, and I knew she had a vision of Bella, and warned them. We walked inside with Alice trailing behind us.
Alice hissed, "Rosalie is excited, a little angry, but excited. Emmet is well, he's Emmet. Esme is thrilled that you found your mate, a little worried about one so young. Carlisle is thrilled also, and a little worried."
I noticed she left one important vampire out, "And Jasper?" I hissed.
"Jasper is worried that he won't be able to control himself, when he smells her. She does smell delicious," at my snarl she hurried on, "but not in the I want to suck your blood way." I nodded satisfied. All of this conversation Bella didn't hear.
We got to the family room, Rosalie was the first to great Bella. I was surprised when Rosalie bent down and scooped Bella up into a hug. I was tense until I heard her thoughts. I can't believe there's going to be a human child here. As angry as I am at you Edward, she shot the words at me, I gave a little snarl at her and she backed down, I'm really rather thrilled that I can take care of her.
I snarled at this, nobody would be taking care of Bella but me. I would need people to watch her when I couldn't, then they could take care of her. But her primary caregiver, would be me. Rosalie quickly put her down, and went and sat next to Emmet.
Esme was next. She darted over and sat in front of Bella, "Hello, Bella, dear. My name is Esme. I'm so glad you're here." Esme's thoughts echoed her words. I was happy that Esme wasn't lying.
Carlisle went after Esme, "We're so glad that you're here Bella. We hope you have a wonderful time." His thoughts also echoed Esme's, but he didn't come as close as Esme did. That was good, because he knew how possessive I was. I would hate to have to hurt him, because he got to close to Bella.
Emmett, went after Carlisle. He wasn't as smart as Carlisle, apparently. He ran right up to Bella, and started swinging her around. I snarled viciously at him. He quickly put Bella down, said a quick hello and welcome to the family, and ran back to where Rosalie was.
Jasper was whom I was worried about. I didn't have to though. He wasn't even in the same room. Alice spoke for him, "Bella, there is another family member, who couldn't be here right now. His name is Jasper. Would you like to see your new room?"
"I have a room? I can sleep on the couch," Bella murmured. So polite, my angel was. I darted to her side, and asked if I could pick her up. She nodded, I picked her up, but she felt so lightweight. I would have to get more food in her tummy.
I spoke, "Nonsense Bella. You'll have a room." I darted upstairs into the room that Esme and Alice had decorated as Bella's. It was every girls dream.
The walls were a clean white, and the carpet was a faded pink color. The bed and play area is what amazed my Bella the most. I recognized the brand as Sweet Dream Bed. The bed resembles a princess castle. The castle is a fine piece of furniture, with storage shelves and drawers built in. It was painted with stonework, climbing vines and flowers, and more realistic detail. There were three shelves on both sides leading up to the tower. It was filled with little toys; stuffed animals, a couple baskets on the bottom shelf filled with toys. In one of the windows on the bottom part of it there was a television where Bella could sit on the floor and watch TV. She could climb the stairs on the one side of the castle to get to bed, and when she woke up in the morning she could slide down the slide. On the opposite side in a creamy white color were a small dresser, and a toy vanity. I smiled.
Bella giggled, "This is for me?"
I bent down to her level, "All for you. Nobody here is small enough to play with this stuff. It's all yours." Bella giggled again, and tossed her arms around my shoulders giving me a big hug.
"Thank you everybody," Bella said after she released me. I wanted to pick her back up and hug her again, but knew Bella was a polite girl and would want to thank people.
Esme smiled at her, "Oh it was our pleasure, darling."
Bella grinned, and looked at everyone, "I think I'm gonna like it here."
