After an agonizing wait a woman with caramel-colored hair came down the stairs and froze, for just a second, before coming to the door. Next to me Alice started bouncing and as soon as the woman answered the door Alice threw herself at her, startling the woman.
"Esme it's so nice to finally meet you. We've been looking for you so long. I can't wait to be part of your family. Where is everyone else? Oh I'm Alice by the way and this is Jasper."
The woman, called Esme was too shocked to say anything; I had to rein Alice in before she overwhelmed her too much. I pulled Alice to give Esme some space, I didn't know how well she would react if Alice remained in her personal space.
Esme looked over Alice and I and I felt shock, curiosity and fear coming off of her. I pushed a field of calm out to try to relax her and it worked.
"Why don't you sit down, Carlisle should be home any minute and then you can tell us about yourselves." She said and gestured to the various couches and chairs set up around the room.
Alice sat down on a couch, pulling me down with her and pressed the side of her face into my chest. She knew under the calm I was projecting I was uncomfortable and wanted to leave, but I was staying because of her. She purred quietly into my chest, trying to calm me down so I wouldn't bolt out of the house.
Esme watched us with an unusual amount of fascination. Didn't she, her mate, and their family communicate vocally? I didn't have much time to think about it as I heard a car pull up the drive way and into the garage. She calmly walked the garage to meet her mate and no doubt tell him we were here.
A few minutes later she and a blond man entered the room. I stood up faced them and Alice followed my lead. As he looked us over I felt no fear only curiosity. Alice looked up at me and I nodded for her to greet the man who had to be Carlisle. I didn't feel threatened by him but I sensed that he was their leader, if he was anything like Maria I didn't want to upset him.
"My name's Alice and this is my mate Jasper," Alice introduced us; "we would like to join your family."
Esme and Carlisle exchanged a look and said that they would have to talk to the rest of their family. Not a coven a family, these golden-eyed vampires were getting stranger and stranger. Alice returned to my side and Esme and Carlisle followed and sat in the chairs across from the couch we were sitting on. Alice sat down again, and I reluctantly followed her.
"We've been looking for you for a couple years now but every time we almost meet you've moved." Alice started, "But we're so happy now that we've found you and I know the others will feel the same." She then turned and looked up at me silently asking another question and I nodded. "You see I can see the future, but only after a decision has been made, and that's how we were able to find you. I saw that you only drank from animals and I've been doing it too, I've only had a few slip-ups."
Carlisle and Esme look at each other again and Carlisle spoke, "We also have someone in the family who has a talent, Edward can read minds." He turned to me, "Do you have a talent?"
I was saved from answering the question by a car coming up the drive way. A woman with long blonde hair stepped out of it, with several bags, and entered the house. As soon as she saw me her face twisted into disgust.
A/N: I forgot to post on the first chapter that I did not create Twilight or anything in it and I do not claim to have created it. This is the one time I will be posting it.
