The girls POV
I opened my eyes. When did I shut them? I was in a room laying on my back on a bed of some sort. How did I get their? I looked around. I saw a man with blond hair who was wearing a blue button down shirt and black dress pants. He was smiling. I then saw a carmel haired lady standing next to him with a wide smile spread across her heart shaped face.
"Where am I?" I asked them. Then I looked right beside me and saw a god like boy standing next to where I'm laying. He had a sort of bronze hair color? With these deep topaz eyes. He was gorgeous. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes trying to calm myself. But when I did I smelled the most intoxicating smell I have ever smelled and I lost all sense of myself.
All I thought as I was pouncing on the boy next to me was MINE. My fangs came out and I bit into his neck. I didn't want his blood for he had none. He was a vampire. I just wanted to claim what was mine. As soon as my fangs sank into his neck I was being thrown backwards into a wall by someone. I crouched down and growled.
I've never heard myself growl like that before and it scared me. I close my eyes again and tried to take relaxing breaths. I came out of my crouch and opened my eyes. The blond man was in a crouched position toward me and in front of the boy while the woman helped the boy up.
"I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I've never acted like that before." I said to them. Then I looked at the gorgeous god behind him and said "I'm sorry. Are you ok? I'm so so sorry."
"It's ok. I'm fine. Esme, Carlisle, I truly am ok." He told the blond man which I know assume is Carlisle and the lady that must be Esme before he turned to look at me with a crooked smile that could melt my heart. I just stared into his eyes and he took a step toward me. When he did this the woman Esme held him back. I had to stop the growl before it came out of my mouth. I don't know why I'm acting this way. I feel like he's mine, like my place is beside him.
"Hello I am Carlisle. This is my wife Esme and my son Edward." The blond told me as he motioned toward the lady and the god like boy standing next to her. So his name is Edward. I like that name. It fits him.
"I am Isabella Whitlock. But I prefer Bella." I said while sticking my hand out to shake Carlisle's hand. When his hand touched mine Edward growled at him. I looked at him with a confused face.
"We have many things to discuss." Carlisle said while motioning toward a couple of chairs on the other side of the room.
I walked over after them and took a seat in front of a desk while Carlisle took the seat behind the desk and Esme sat in another chair behind the desk. Edward sat in the seat right next to me. He never took his eyes off me as he walked to the chair and sat down. I don't know why but I liked the way he looked at me. I felt safe in his presence. I felt like I was home.
"Your last name is Whitlock? Who are your parents and where are you from?" Carlisle asked me.
"Yes my last name is Whitlock. My mother was Renee Whitlock and well I don't know who my father is actually. But I know that he was a vampire. I'm originally from Texas." I told them. Why did he want to know my parents names? I understand wanting to know where I'm from but why my parents names?
"How old are you Bella?" Esme asked me with a warm smile on her face. I could tell she was a nice person. Her smile made her glow.
"Well I stopped aging at the age of 16 but I was born sometime during the Civil War." I told Esme and for half a second I thought I saw her frown. Maybe I was just seeing things. Carlisle looked at Edward with confusion written all over his face.
"May I ask why you are asking me all these questions." I asked them. Esme looked to Carlisle and Carlisle looked at Edward till he nodded. Then his eyes and Esme and Edwards were turned to me. I was starting to get nervous. Were they going to hurt me or turn me over to the Volturi?
"Because we have a family member with the last name Whitlock." Carlisle told me. I stopped breathing and turned still as stone. Could it be? Could they be talking about Jasper? No, Jasper went missing before I was even born. I was told that he went missing, they had pronounced him dead.
"A Jasper Whitlock to be more precise." Carlisle said. Jasper? My half brother was alive and a vampire?
"Do you know him my dear?" Esme asked me. She stood and started walking toward me. Esme took my hand and bent down till she was eye level with me. "Are you ok Bella?" She asked.
"Yes and I don't know. I was told I had a half brother names Jasper Whitlock. That he went missing during the Civil War and they pronounced him dead. I've never met him. I was born after all that." I told them. I was sad, happy, and mad. I was sad that I never got to know him. Happy that he's still alive (well sort of) and mad because someone took his life from him and he never got to return to his family. I've been alone all these years when I could have found my brother?
"That is our Jasper." Edward said while he took my other hand that Esme wasn't holding and started running soothing circles with his thumb on it. It helped relax me.
"Would you like to stay and meet Jasper, Bella?" Esme asked with a warm smile on her face as she stood.
"Yes please. I've always wanted to meet my brother. I've heard such great things about him from my auntie while she was still alive." I told her before I stood and gave her a big hug. I was so happy. I was going to get to see my brother. What would he think of me? Would he hate me for killing our mother when I was born? Should I even tell them that I killed her? Oh they are going to think I'm a monster.
"I have one question before we go to the living room to wait for the others." Carlisle started. "Are you half human and half vampire?"
"Yes from what I've learned I am." I told him. He looked like he had a lot more questions he wanted to ask so before he could I said "Why don't we wait for the others and I will tell you all my story together? Oh and how many of you are their?" I had to ask.
"Well there are us three and Rosalie and Emmet, they are mates. Then there is Alice and Jasper, they are mates as well." Edward told me with that crooked smile still in place. I felt my knees go weak and I just thanked whoever was watching over me that I was sitting in a chair.
"Jasper has a mate? That is wonderful. I'm so happy he has a family and isn't alone." I squealed. My brother had a wife! He was loved and cared for. That just filled me with so much happiness that I couldn't hold it in anymore. I guess they could all feel it because all three of them started bouncing in their seats and had big goofy grins on. Ooops!
"Empath." I heard Carlisle's shocked voice. I just nodded.
"That with a little more. But I will explain it all in my story." I told them before more questions came out. I cant feel what they feel but I can project any feeling I want onto others. It's a good gift sometimes!
"Well we should head down stairs. I can hear them now." Edward told us. He stood and never let go of my hand. But I didn't want him to let go. He helped me to my feet and we followed Esme and Carlisle down the stairs to the living room. Their house was so beautiful. So light and open.
When we arrived to the living room, Carlisle and Esme sat on the couch together holding hands. Edward led me over to a love seat across from them and be sat side by side, still holding hands. I was starting to get nervous when I heard a car pull up outside. What if they didn't like me? What if they wanted me to leave? I would be able to find a place but what about these feelings I have toward Edward? What are they? I wanted to get to know my brother but what if he wanted nothing to do with me?
Before I could panic even more the front door opened and showed a beautiful blond goddess look woman with a big bear like muscled man with curly dark hair. He had a big goofy grin on his face and the woman had a small smile playing on her lips till she locked eyes with me. She scowled at me and I became more panicked. What if she attacks me?
"What's going on her Carlisle?" The goddess like blond asked Carlisle while still scowling at me.
"We have a guest everyone. I would like you all to come sit in the living room." Carlisle said. The blond woman and the dark haired man came and sat on another couch they had.
Then a short pixie like lady came in with shopping bags in both hands. She had short spiky black hair and a cute little smile on her lips. You could see her bouncing up and down as she walked into the living room. Then a man with dirty blond hair came in and I knew exactly who it was. That had to be Jasper. He was handsome but he had bite marks all over him. My poor brother has been bitten so man time. I wonder by he has so many?
"Ok everyone." Carlisle started. "Alice, Jasper, take a seat. I want to introduce you all to our guest. This is Rosalie Hale, Emmet McCarthy, Alice Cullen, and Jasper Whitlock." He told me while pointing to everyone. They all said their hello's and smiled at me.
"Hello"
