Chapter 6- "Visiting Relatives"

About a week had passed since Anastasia met Embry, and now she was head over heels for him. She had been texting him since Renesmee gave her Embry's cell number. She always seemed to have a smile on her face since then.

"You know, all of her happiness is getting too strong for me to handle," Jasper said sitting down at their usual lunch table.

"Just deal with it Jazz, she's finally happy here. Why should we ruin it for her?" Alice said with a small smile rubbing Jasper's back.

A few tables down Ana sat with a few people from her first day of school, Tanner West, Leighanna Parker, Leslie Ryan, Martin Abercrombie and Elijah Parker.

"Hey Ana, what're you up to this weekend?" Martin asked her while trying to poke his fork into what ever the school had decided to serve for lunch that day.

"I'm not sure yet, I doubt even my family has something planned," She answered after taking a bite of her apple.

"Oh then you can come to La Push with us," Leighanna said with a huge grin. "After all it's supposed to be pretty nice this weekend. And then maybe we can teach you how to surf!"

Ana laughed and shook her head, "I don't think I could learn how to surf, firstly I'm clumsy as hell and secondly I doubt I'm going to enjoy being in the water, it may still be cold."

"Come on Ana," Elijah chimed in, "It's not that hard, but even if you don't surf you can sit on the beach and soak up the sun."

Ana thought about it for a minute, thinking about the positives about going to the beach, it would be warm and she hasn't been to a beach in a long time. And didn't Embry live somewhere down in La Push?

After a few moments Ana looked up and nodded. "I'll go. But I have to ask my parent's permission."

"She isn't going to the beach!" Edward said grabbing the underneath of the lunch table and almost breaking it.

"Edward calm down, it's only the beach. She needs to get out with her friends and not be stuck with her 'family' all the time," Bella said whispering in his ear, which seemed to calm him down.

"Well we're going to have to make sure that wolf isn't going to show up at the beach then," he said looking at Alice quickly.

"Don't worry Edward the future is clear, she falls off of the surfboard a few times and almost hits a few rocks but no werewolves," Alice said opening her eyes and smiling a little.

"Fine but you're going to watch that day to make sure nothing happens," Edward said glaring at his mystery meat.

"Alice?" Jasper said quietly shaking her while looking into her face.

"I think she's having a vision," Bella stated calmly rubbing Edward's back still.

"Guess who's coming to visit us this weekend!" Alice chirped when she came out of her vision.

"Don't tell me the Volturi are coming!" Emmett groaned rolling his eyes.

"No no!" Alice told him shaking her head. "The Denali are coming to visit us!"

Jasper immediately got a worried look on his face and looked at Edward who was now looking up at his sister.

"I know, Jasper," He said answering Jasper's thoughts. "He's worried about what Ana will think when a bunch of Vampires come to visit. I doubt she'll think anything of it if we would say they're all relatives."

"Ooh!" Alice said with a smile. "We can say they're Carlisle's cousins. They look old enough right?"

"Yes they're old enough," Emmett said with a laugh, "After all most of them are a few centuries old."

"Not what I meant. They look around Carlisle's age, so I think Ana will believe they are his cousins." Alice said with a smile. "I'm just so happy that they're coming to visit. I bet they'll just love Ana, I think she makes good impressions on people."

"Yes she'll make such a good impression on vampires. Possibly one good enough that she'll die that day," Emmett teased with a huge grin.

"Emmett, why would you say something like that?" Rosalie reprimanded punching him in the arm.

"I never thought of that, what if Garrett gets a taste for human blood again?" Alice asked

"I'll know what he's thinking before he acts, we'll take him down," Edward said thinking of the new addition to the Denali clan, he used to be a nomad and a human blood drinker, and now, well now he's a 'vegetarian' like the rest of the Denali's.

"Yes and I'll know what he's feeling so we have the best chance to catch him before he would attack," Jasper said holding Alice's hand for comfort.

"Okay then we're ready; oh we'll have to tell them to stay out of the sun in front of her," Alice said smiling a little.

"Hey, Ana, why is your sister over there smiling?" Tanner asked her looking over at the Cullen table.

Ana looked over and saw Alice smiling; she noticed a small smile pulling at the corners of Jasper's mouth as well.

"They either are planning on doing something they know I won't like, or Alice insulted Edward. Either way home isn't going to be fun tonight," Ana stated turning back around in her seat to face Tanner, Leslie, and Martin.

Ana finished eating the apple she'd been working on since the start of lunch and she finished the rest of the school day quickly, barely paying attention to any of her teachers or any of the classes.

The ride home from school was abnormally silent, no one said a word. Once they arrived home Esme was sitting in the dining room with a sketch book drawing out what seemed to be a bathroom.

"Uh, Esme?" Ana asked quietly hoping not to disturb her.

"Yes Ana?" Esme said turning around in the chair to look at her.

"Do you think it would be okay if I would go to the beach with some friends Friday after school?" Ana asked hoping that Esme would say yes, it would possibly be her only chance to see Embry in a while.

"Sure it's no problem, who're you going with?" Esme responded with a smile.

"Tanner West, Leslie Ryan, Martin Abercrombie, and Leighanna and Elijah Parker," Ana answered hoping she wasn't forgetting anyone.

"Okay, just don't forget your cell phone in case something comes up," Esme said turning back to her sketch.

That was easy, Ana thought while walking out of the dining room to head up to her room.

"Oh Ana!" Alice said catching her at the bottom of the stair case.

Crap, something I won't like, Ana thought again.

"Some of Carlisle's cousins are coming to visit us this weekend, I believe they're arriving Saturday, from what Carlisle told me today when he called," Alice said with a smile, "You should be here to meet them, after all they've never met you yet and you've never met them."

"Okay?" Ana said with a raised eyebrow.

After Esme said yes all Ana could think about was going to the beach and hopefully seeing Embry there. The rest of the week passed like the rest of the day when she was asked to go to the beach.

On Friday the day flew by, she ignored almost everything that didn't have to relate to the beach. When the school day ended Ana rushed outside and stood outside until someone tackled her. When she looked up she saw Elijah on top of her laughing. "So are you ready to attempt surfing?"

"Sure, but I don't think I'd do well," She answered flipping him off of her and standing up.

"Hey where are your siblings today?" Elijah asked while leading Ana over to his explorer.

"Oh Carlisle is taking them on a camping trip tonight, I'm not much of a camper. Plus I would probably get hurt," Ana replied.

"Oh," Elijah said shrugging, "Well its better you didn't go now you can learn to surf."

Both Elijah and Ana started laughing, and when they reached his explorer Ana noticed Leslie, Tanner, Leighanna, and Martin standing there waiting on them.

"Took you long enough!" Martin yelled looking at Elijah and Ana. "Let's get going!"

The ride to La Push was about 15 to 20 minutes, and to Ana was too long. When she hopped out of the explorer she looked around the beach. It was actually very beautiful. She looked out on the water and it was a little rough but the waves broke across the beach beautifully.

"Isn't it amazing?" Leighanna said looking at the water as well. "Just think about surfing in that, the waves carrying you toward the beach, and the salty wind in your hair and face. It's absolutely exhilarating."

"Okay okay I'll go surfing," Ana said giving in and walking back toward the explorer.

The boys changed into their wet suits first then once it turned to be the girls turn Elijah handed Ana something. "Here, I think you'll be needing this," he said, "It's a wet suit; it'll help if it's a little cold. And Leslie told me purple is your favorite color. Oh and don't worry about it, consider this an early Christmas present from us."

It took her a few minutes but once she was in the wetsuit she jumped out of the back of the explorer and looked around again.

"Ready?" Martin asked while walking toward the beach and ocean.

After teaching her for about half an hour everyone thought she was ready enough to see how well she would do at surfing.

Ana ran into the water with Elijah's old board since it was the one he taught her on, she went out a ways and waited. She was waiting for the perfect wave to come. She saw Leighanna and Tanner take one of the waves she passed up. They seemed to know exactly what to do, unlike her.

She looked and saw a wave, and in an odd way it was calling to her. Ana started paddling the way Elijah taught her. Once she caught the wave she started to stand up, before she knew it the wave crashed down on her and pushed her toward the cliff on her right. The crashing pushed her under and the pushing action forced her to a rock she felt her arm smack off of the rock but she didn't think anything of it. All Ana could think of at the moment was get to the surface, and start swimming to the shore. As hard as she kicked, it felt like she was being pulled down deeper and deeper. The harder she tried the more it felt like it pushed on her. After a while she gave up and started to close her eyes, for she had them open the whole time she was trying to get to the surface. While her eyes were closed Ana began slipping in and out of consciousness. While she was either in or out of consciousness she felt something really warm on her arms and back.

I must be dying, Ana thought and she welcomed the blackness that came.

"Ana?" Someone called trying to breakthrough the blackness. "Come on Ana!" The same person shouted. She felt something pushing on her chest rhythmically and then without warning she felt something warm on her lips and pushing a breath into her body.

"Damn it Ana breathe!" The voice cried starting to crack under the stress.

Great someone giving me CPR, Ana thought while trying to open her eyes, hopefully he's hot like in most televison shows when they practice CPR.

After a little more of the CPR Ana started to feel less out of it. Soon enough she opened her eyes. Taking a quick look around, she saw Martin, Tanner, Leslie, Elijah, and Leighanna all in a circle around her with Jacob, Quil, and Jared. Then she looked down toward her feet and noticed Embry over top of her with a small smile on his face.

"Uh, what happened?" Ana asked starting to sit up but was instantly pushed back down by Embry.

"The wave crashed and after that we couldn't find you," Leighanna said frowning a little. "But at least Embry found you; he's been at the whole CPR thing for about five minutes."

"Yeah, I guess you were right about surfing," Elijah said with a laugh, "Next time we come I promise you can stay on the beach and soak up some sun."

"Hey Ana, I hate to say this but we've got to go," Martin said frowning as well. "Jacob, Quil, Jared, and Embry said they'd look after you and call your parents to let them know. Give us a call tomorrow to let us know how you're doing. Okay?"

Ana gave him one short nod and lay her head back on the sand then closing her eyes.

"Ana?" Leslie said quietly. "We really are sorry; I swear we aren't ditching you. But you were under a while. Plus you've been out of it for awhile. I'm really sorry, I would stay but my mom is super strict about when I get home. Call me tomorrow!"

Ana nodded again but kept her eyes closed. She must have drifted off while laying on the beach because the next time she woke up she was in the back of a truck.

"What the hell?!" Ana exclaimed almost shooting dead upright, before being pushed back down again.

"Its okay Ana," a recognizable voice said. She looked up and noticed Jacob behind her. "We're taking you off of the beach, it was getting cold. We called the Cullens they said it would be okay. Don't worry. Just relax."

Ana closed her eyes again and relaxed. She actually fell asleep; in all honesty she welcomed this sleep. She was extremely tired and almost dying takes a lot out of a person. The dreams she had were very vivid. But she paid no attention to them as she just wanted to remain asleep.

When she woke up again she was in a living room. Ana looked around and noticed that she was on a couch. Something on the arm she hit off of the rock prevented her from moving it. She sat up the best she could and looked around again. The thing on her arm ended up being two poles along the sides of her arm and tied around with handkerchiefs.

"Is anyone here?" She asked quietly not wanting to disturb anyone.

"Hey sleeping beauty," Embry said sitting up on the floor beside her. "I see you woke up finally."

"What's going on?" Ana asked blinking a few times then looking at him.

"Well I saved you from drowning yesterday, and I made the guys bring you here so I could keep an eye on you. Plus I don't trust anyone with you. Except me, of course," Embry replied with a slight laugh.

"Yeah okay, more please." Ana said rubbing her eyes with the only hand that would move.

"Oh that," Embry said smiling, "Well Jared is studying to be a doctor but he didn't want to take you to a hospital because something could've happened on the drive there since the closest one is kind of further into Forks. So we brought you here and he made the best splint he could for your arm. He said it's most likely broken, especially the way you behaved before he asked Dr. Cullen if he could sedate you, every time he tried to touch it you would flinch away."

"So wait I was sedated too?" Ana asked again now realizing all she did was ask questions.

"Yes, you wouldn't let anyone touch you or your arm when we got you here," Embry said trying to explain the best he could. "Dr. Cullen said it would be best if we did. So that's what we did. But you were technically already out of it, we just helped that by putting you into a deeper sleep."

Ana did understand that to help her they had to put her out completely but still that wasn't fair. She should've had a say in if they could do it or not.

"Okay…" Was all she said and she closed her eyes again.

"Jared is supposed to be bringing a small x-ray machine home from his internship so we can see this, course he should be here soon. Then he'll put your arm in either a cast or a brace for awhile," Embry explained hoping not to make her angry in anyway.

"Fine, but I have to get home soon. I was supposed to meet Carlisle's cousins today," Ana told him sitting up more and again trying to move the dead weight that is now her right arm.

Most of the morning after Ana woke up went quickly. Jared came about an hour after she woke up. She did indeed break her arm. It wasn't hairline fracture like she and most were hoping it was a full on break. It would take a while to heal. Jared stuck her in a huge bulky cast that whenever she lifted it she wanted just to slam it on the table to see if it would break. She didn't start to notice some pain until she and Embry were on their way back to the Cullen's.

"You okay?" Embry asked looking over at her while he was driving.

Ana looked over at him and forced a smile. "Yeah, my arm is just itchy that's all."

"Oh," he said turning back to pay attention to the road.

As they pulled up the long drive to the Cullen house Embry tensed. "Oh shit!" he said out loud pulling off of the road a little. "Do you know who is up there?"

"Uh yeah," Ana said looking at him curiously. "Carlisle's cousins? They're visiting today. Alice told me at the beginning of the week. Why?"

"No reason, I was just wondering it looks like a different type of car track that's all." He said stiffening.

Ana shrugged and turned her attention back to the drive. It wasn't much farther until they would get to the house and Ana could lie down for a moment.

When they pulled up to the house Edward immediately came through the front door and walked over to Embry's truck.

"You're late," Edward hissed, then added low enough so Ana couldn't hear, "Dog".

"Yes I know, I'm sorry she didn't wake up early enough," Embry said jumping out while watching Edward helping Ana get out.

"Ow!" Ana cried glaring at Edward and cradling the arm that's in the cast.

"Sorry," Edward said quietly moving away from her.

"Here let me help you," Embry said taking Ana's unbroken hand and walking her up the steps.

Edward held the door open for the two of them and once they were inside the house he turned to Embry. "You can leave now."

"I'd like to stay," Embry said glaring at Edward.

All Ana did was look at Edward with pleading eyes and he gave up walking away.

When they walked into the living room there was a group of about five adults across from Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, Edward, and Renesmee.

"Oh Ana you've gotten here at a very good time," Carlisle said moving toward her. He took her hand and led her over to where the Denali stood.

"Ana this is Tanya," he said introducing her to a woman with strawberry blonde hair that curled.

"Pleasure to meet you," Ana said quietly with a small smile that pulled at the corners of her mouth.

"The pleasure is mine," Tanya said smiling as well.

Carlisle lead her to the next woman she had blonde hair like Rosalie's. "This is Kate, Tanya's sister."

"Nice to meet you," Ana said again, not knowing what else to say.

"You as well," Kate said nodding.

"This is her husband Garrett," Carlisle said moving to the one man who had sandy colored hair tied back into a pony tail.

All Ana did was nod as Carlisle introduced the next person.

"This is Carmen," Carlisle said, "and her husband Eleazar."

"Pleasure," Ana said smiling a little.

"The pleasure is ours," Eleazar said.

After meeting all of Carlisle's cousins Ana was still tired but really hungry so she went into the kitchen and looked around trying to find something she would eat, while she was doing this Eleazar pulled Carlisle to the side.

"Carlisle," Eleazar said looking around to make sure Ana wasn't anywhere near them. "When I was near that girl I felt something odd. But then I realized what it was. It was like the feeling I had around Bella at the wedding."

"What do you mean Eleazar?" Carlisle asked looking his friend in the eyes.

"What I mean is that she must have some ability like the rest of your family here. But here's the best part. This feeling I had was much stronger than the one I had about Bella, she must have a strong power. If she ends up getting changed call us back, I would love to see what it turns out to be."

"Eleazar!" Carlisle reprimanded. "I do not want to talk about that kind of thing right now. At the moment she's perfectly healthy although she does have a broken arm. But back to my point, we won't change her unless we have to. I would like to keep her human for the rest of her life."

"Alright my friend, but if something happens that you do have to change her let us come down and we will help," Eleazar said smiling some.

To Ana Carlisle's cousins seemed nice, Embry of course didn't like them but that was just him. That night Ana fell asleep peacefully, although her cast did hit her in the forehead once while she was trying to fall asleep. Finally one slightly normal night at the Cullen house.
