Chapter 2- New House and Whole New Attitude
When they got to the Cullen home, Ana noticed it was so open and bright, not what you would expect from a family who chose to live in one of the rainiest places on earth. Anastasia sat her suitcase down and looked around. "It's really beautiful," she said in awe still looking around.
"Esme designed it herself, she seems to have a talent with those kinds of things," Carlisle said hugging his wife.
"Oh I designed your room as well. Hopefully you like it, if not it can be changed," Esme said with a smile. "Would you like to go see it?"
Ana nodded and let Esme take her hand and lead her up the stairs. They ended up on the third floor and down the hallway and went to the last door on the left. When Esme opened the door. The room looked absolutely amazing; it was a light lilac color all over and then in one little inset of the room had darker purple vertical stripes.
"It…it is perfect," Anastasia said quietly looking around, her eyes wide in awe.
"The part with stripes will be where your desk will go when we get it, I didn't know what style of desk to get you so we can go shopping for that later," Esme said with a smile, "And your closet has the same stripes on the inside, of course Alice will help you fill that."
"Thank you…so much I really don't know what else to say other than it's absolutely perfect," Ana said sitting down on the bed with the same color bedspread as the dark purple in her study area.
"I was hoping you'd like it," Esme said sitting next to her. "All we want to do is try to make you as welcome as possible. I am truly sorry that your biological parents died but Carlisle and I will try our best to be your parents now, if that's alright with you."
"That's okay I guess. I just don't want to forget my real parents; everyone, except you, is trying to make me forget them," Ana said looking down to the floor.
"Its okay sweetie," Esme said pulling Ana into a hug and Ana felt cold, "we'll try to be more sensitive about it."
Ana nodded and smiled, "If it's okay with you I would like to unpack and get settled in."
"Oh that's just fine." Esme said then stood up and left.
Ana put her suitcase on the bed and took out her laptop and all of her clothes. Carrying her pile of clothes to the closet Ana found hangers and hung everything up. This closet is huge! It's almost as big as my room! She thought while closing the door on the closet. Once she got everything where she wanted it a knock on her door startled her.
"Hey Anastasia can I come in?" A voice asked quietly at her door.
Sighing Ana walked over to her door and opened it, "Yes you can."
"So I'm assuming you've already seen the closet, outrageous isn't it?" Edward asked while he stepped into her room. "If you want I can tell Alice to not help you with your fashion sense. She seems to think we all have to look good and never lets us wear anything more than twice. It's terrible but what can I say. She's my sister."
"It's okay," Ana said quietly not looking up at him, "If she gets on my nerves I can handle it."
"Well if you don't want to tell her I can. After all I'm sort of like your big brother now," he said with a small grin.
"Yeah well I'll see how it goes when and if she goes overboard and if I don't do well I'll let you know," Ana commented finally looking up at him.
"Well remember one thing," Edward told her looking down, "Big brother is always watching…or in my case listening."
Ana simply looked at him for a moment and thought, Okay that's a little creepy, but I guess he means well. But how would he listen? Is he a spy or something?
Edward grinned and said, "Oh and Esme told me to come tell you that it's dinner time. We promised we'd take care of you, love you, feed you, bathe you, and even water you." At that last part he ruffled her hair a little.
Ana laughed, "You're making me sound like I'm a pet. Plus I think I can bathe my self thank you."
Edward laughed as well, but his laugh boomed like that of a timpani drum but not as loud or hard hitting. All Ana could do was smile and follow him out the door and down to the dining room.
"Hello Ana," Alice said motioning to the seat beside her, "why don't you come over here and sit near me?"
Anastasia quietly walked over to Alice and sat on her right side since Jasper occupied her left.
"So how do you like the closet?" Alice asked while looking at her intently.
"Well it's a little big…."
Alice grinned, "I know but what girl doesn't want a big walk in closet?! Plus I need someone to go shopping with, Edward hates it, Bella really doesn't care, Rose does her own shopping and Emmett's, Jasper would rather go hang out with Edward, so please!" She pleaded with Ana.
Ana could only smile and nod, "Sure, I actually don't mind shopping. But I'd feel bad when you all get me these amazing things while I can't do anything for you."
"Its fine Ana sweetie," Esme said soothingly, "We don't ask anything of you. Just please don't get arrested, or killed for that matter. And all we ask really is that you try your best and be yourself." Carlisle nodded in agreement with his wife.
"Okay that's very reasonable for all that you guys are giving to me," Ana said with a smile on her face, and everyone was smiling back….except Rosalie. "So….may I ask what's for dinner?" She asked quietly.
"You…" Jasper said looking at her intently. The room went silent for a minute and the entire family looked at him like he was crazy then he laughed, "I was only kidding kid. We're having pizza if that's alright."
The look of this family around a dining room table was a sight. Everyone looked beautiful, the doctor and his wife, Rosalie and Emmett, Alice and Jasper, Bella, Renesmee, and Edward, then there was Anastasia her plain auburn hair hung limply and her curls at the bottom not doing much for her. Everyone had pale ivory skin, except for Ana and Nessie but still Ana stuck out the most.
But she really didn't pay much attention to this fact anymore because they actually liked her. They actually wanted her to be a part of their family, how ever different it is.
