It took me about 25 minutes to get to the turn off to go to the Cullen's, the Cullen name keeps ringing bells in my head but I can't seem to place why. It is driving me crazy, well crazier than I already am. This driveway is taking forever, I've already driven about a mile, how far back in the woods are these nut jobs. A new scent other than the woods and the nature seeps into my car, it is sweet almost sickly sweet. Leave it to Hope to be in this town 6 months and be involved with vampires.
Oh shit! That's why the name Cullen rang bells, it's a vegetarian coven that lives as humans, the "children" go to high school while the leaders Carlisle and Esme who are mates are the parents. The coven is large, second largest to only the Volturi itself with a few nice powers too. There is Alice who can see the future and her ungifted mate Garrett, Rosalie who has no power and her mate Emmet who retained his newborn strength, Next are the two unmated, Edward who can read minds and Jasper the powerful empath.
The Volturi saw this family as a threat until they realized they don't want power or anything, they want a normal life. They want to be human so they try to be and the Volturi let them live that way, if they ever showed signs of an usurping though, they would be killed quickly and violently.
It is a trait within my family, human or not to have mental and physical shields so it probably kills Edward he can't read Hope's mind and now he won't be able to read mine either. Finally I pull out of the trees and there in front of me is a beautiful mansion. I appreciate the architecture but I'm too impatient to see Hope and make sure she is not okay to actually care what it looks like.
I walk up to the door and knock quietly knowing that they are all already downstairs and have known I was here from the second I started driving up the driveway. Hope better still be human or we will have an issue. The man I have seen dubbed as Carlisle opens the door and flashes me a "dazzling" smile, fucking vampires.
"You must be Isabella, please do come in." I just glare at him for calling me that and I hear Hope's familiar giggle from my left and I turn to glare at her too.
"Sorry, I forgot to inform you she hates the name Isabella. She goes by Bella." My darling sister informs the man in front of me. He smiles at me apologetically, trying to dazzle me again, humph it won't work.
Hope pats the seat to her left since Edward was to her right. I look at his eyes, they are a golden color but darker than they should be, he needs to hunt soon. I will let this relationship continue as long as he keeps my sister from harm. I can tell they are mates but the second he hurts her, I will break the bond they have and kill him. I am a sponge, I develop the power of every being I have ever met, I am the most powerful being to have ever lived. I could light him on fire with no trouble. He has no clue his mate's little sister is his worst nightmare.
As I sit down next to Hope she smiles at me and begins her introduction, something about all of them being adopted and yadda yadda. I didn't really pay any attention to her rambling until there was a noise from the stairs, we all looked to the stairs and from them looking back was the most handsome being I have ever met. Standing in front of me was Major Jasper Whitlock and from the bonds that just formed, he's my soul mate. Oh joy.
