Chapter 4 – Sullen Girl
Alice ushered me down the last couple of steps as I dragged my feet. I was starting to remind myself of the sulky Edward behind me, so I staightened up immediately.
To get my mind off of the man behind me, I guiltily focused in on the minds of the people I was about to meet.
I heard a gentle motherly voice first. – She surely is a very pretty girl. Maybe her and Edward will get along together.
I couldn't help but gag at that comment. I turned around to see Edward doing the same. I couldn't help but let a giggle escape. As much as we hated eachother, we still had a sense of humor about it.
Edward smirked at me as I turned back around to my front as Alice took my arm. We got off of the stairway and they lead me into a room of honey colored oak furniture and white walls.
I gasped at the beauty of it.
Actually, it wasn't really just the size of one room, but one floor entirely with no walls. On the south side was a wall of glass, with a beautiful view of a river and mountain scenery.
Once I thought about it, the room of gold walls I had just been asleep in also had an entire wall of glass also. It must be the entire backside of the house.
My jaw, literally dropped. This was like an exact replica of my dream home. Now all I needed a gorgeous car in the garage and maybe a mini theatre in the basement…
My thoughts were interrupted by a booming laughter.
She looks like she's about to drool. Guess that means that she likes the house…
I quickly swiped my mouth. Alright…just checking. No drool.
I heard the booming laughter again and looked up to see five pairs of strange eyes, staring at me intensely.
The man who had been laughing before.. and now, was HUGE. He was muscular to the extreme, almost intimidatingly so. But I didn't feel any danger in being around him in the least. His big and booming laughter gave off a feeling of a big teddy bear. He was the first to step forward and introduce himself.
"Hey, I'm Emmett. Welcome to the family. Hope Edward hasn't been too much of a dick to you yet –,"
"EMMETT!," a stern male's voice interrupted.
He is so rude! I hope Bella doesn't get the wrong impression…- I heard the motherly voice in my head again except this time instead of sounding gentle, she was more reproachful.
"Sorry Carlisle, but we all know how Edward is. I was just making sure that Bella was ok. Seriously though… Do you want me to beat him up for you?"
I laughed. Now I knew me and Emmett would get along great. I could see him as being an overprotective older brother. I laughed again as I saw Edward sulking in the shadows behind me, glaring at Emmett.
"I think I can hold my own, Emmett. Unlike our first meeting, I'm not as defenseless as I look."
Wow Bella. Way to bring on the akward silence. Nobody said anything for about half a minute, as they all pondered about the night I was changed by Edward. I saw random flashes of myself from that night.
It was too much.
I closed my eyes and tried to block out everyone's thoughts until Emmett, thankfully broke the silence by clearing his throat and putting a huge grin back on his face as he turned to a blonde bombshell beauty next to him. I now noticed that Emmett had an arm around her waist.
"Ahem…Well, uh Bella, this is my lovely and amazing wife Rosalie."
Rosalie returned the grin to him and rolled her eyes before turning to me with a sympathetic look.
"You can call me Rose. Pleased to meet you. I know you haven't had the greatest experience with some members of this family so far," she turned her gaze to glare at Edward and send him a mental message, -
I really hope for you sake that she forgives for what you've done. God knows I wouldn't.
"- but I hope that won't keep you and me from having a fun time together, and I'm sure my handsome husband here will agree with me."
Emmett shared an intense loving gaze with her after she said that. I felt out of place so I turned my head away so I couldn't invade their privacy.
"Thanks Rose. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun, especially with Emmett around."
Emmett laughed and everyone else joined in as well. Well… except for Edward.
A blonde man, who was still laughing at Emmett, and remembering some of his past antics, stepped up to me next. Alice came bounding in next to him from behind me. Jasper.
I tensed up. It was like I was having déjà vu. I was having an exact replica of my daydream from before happening right before me in real life .
Jasper smiled a knowing smile and stepped in front reaching out to shake hands. I nervously reached my hand out to his.
As our hands connected Jaspers shoulders slumped and he got a dreamy relaxed look on his face which was quickly replaced with confusion. I bit my lip in fear not knowing what would happen next since my 'vision' so to speak, ended here. Alice was staring at me with excitement in her eyes. Thoughts were flying through her head so fast that I couldn't decipher a single thing. Edward was apparently used to this fast pace, because he started to stare at me wide eyed along with Alice.
Edward, we have to tell Carlisle. He'll understand.
I was finally able to decipher something that was running through her thoughts, but had no idea what it meant.
"Carlisle…,"Alice then went into an extremely fast paced account of what had happened earlier when she had tried to get a vision of me meeting Jasper.
I became overwhelmed by the massive amounts of thought and emotions of everyone in the room. I felt like a monster was raging through me, tearing me to pieces.
I grabbed at my head, and ferociously began pulling my hair. My knees dropped to the ground. I wanted to scream. Just scream away this damned existence. Make this empty shell me dissapear.
Could it be?
Is this even possible?
I wonder of what the extent of her powers could be?
AMAZING!
I couldn't handle it any longer. I didn't think it possible for immortals to suffer from mere humans symptoms, but apparently vampires did, because I could feel I migraine rise in the back of my head.
I rose from my spot on the ground. Nobody had even noticed that I had fallen other than Edward. They were all still lost within their own thoughts. Edward came towards me offering me his hand. I backed away from him. From everybody.
Alice finally snapping out of her trance and finally noticing me, immediately rose to follow. I mumbled something quickly about needing to be alone and rushed to the stairs. Going at the maximum speed of a newborn vampire was still not fast enough to miss Emmetts next comment-
"She seemed to be a bit of a sullen girl didn't she?"
"God Emmett! How the hell is she supposed to feel after what I did to her?! I know its hard to process through your thick skull, but being a vampire isn't exactly a dream come true for all of us."
Edward charged out of the room and the most venomous and infuriated look on his face.
I stopped halfway up the stairs as he was about to pass me on his way to his room. I looked to the ground as he brushed past me. I was still glued to the spot when he whispered an almoust inaudible (even to vampire ears), "Sorry," to me.
"You're forgiven."
I said it so quietly that I could barely even hear myself. Apparently he heard, because he stopped a few steps ahead of me.
He turned his body towards me and opened his mouth, but changed his mind, and continued on his way upstairs.
Continuing on at a slow pace, even for humans, I finally made it to my new room.
I made my way over to the bed, and crashed down head first. I felt my mind drifting, and relaxed immediately.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
Will every day be like this?
I dont know what to do with myself.
All day - and all night.
My mind wanders the halls along the walls and under my breath, I say to myself…
I need fuel - to take flight – get out of this prison that is now my home. And theres too much going on.
But its calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.Is that why they call me a sullen girl - ?
They dont know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea.
But he washed me shore-
Edward
And he took my pearl. And left an empty shell of me.
And theres too much going on.
But its calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion.
Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion.

Question- Favorite word?
Mines probably macabre or exsanguinate ( I just realized both fit very well with vampires…hmmm) and I also love rubbish.
IMPORTANT
Bella is not all powerful. I'm sorry but I think those stories are stupid rubbish and unrealistic. Stick around to see what her power is
