It was a feeling that I was almost sure I had never felt before in all of my existence both human and immortal, it was love. Not the dime store, superficial love this was the real thing. Emmett and I spent our days together, since his turning...barely four days ago...we have never left eachother's side. Everything took on a whole new excitement, even the meaningless things like running took on a whole new level of fun and happiness when i shared it with Emmett. We would laugh and challenge eachother, he was funny and sweet. I had never met anyone like him in all of the world. He was content about being himself, he was a happy guy in general..I still have not heard him complain about anything. I often wonder how our relationship works out, I complain quite frequently and it usually takes a lot to make me happy, how did this work? I soon realized though that * he's exactly the kind of person someone like me needs, and oddly enough he needs me to* (* Stephanie Meyer..not my own). Emmett and I were in the living room, the sky had turned a beautiful pink and purple color, I was watching it out the window and Emmett was laying on the couch with his head in my lap. I was running my hand gently through his hair while he was listening to Carlisle talk. The whole family was in the room and Carlisle was sharing his story with Emmett. The thought occurred to me that most couples after only four days were not this close, but we were different. After just a few hours it felt as if we knew eachother our whole lives. Almost like we both understood and accepted that this was the soulmate we would spend eternity with and we were happy about that. We didnt care how we showed it, or how it looked to others. We belonged to eachother and that was all that mattered. As I listened to the conversation it slowly went to Esme and then Edward. I glanced at Edward praying for a distraction. I didnt want to tell him my story, what if he didn't like me afterward? What if he thought I was tainted goods? Royce had taken a sacred part of me..what if Emmett couldnt look past that? An unusual fear gripped me, what if my story made me loose my emmett? Emmett and I had grown up in similar worlds. Worlds where a girl's virtue was everything. It was unheard of for couples to move in together before matrimony..let alone what happened to me. I wanted to run, I felt myself reverting back to the old Rosalie..the one who ran as fast as her legs could carry her when something wasn't going her way. Almost in perfect timing, like he was reading my thoughts Emmett looked up at me, his eyes full of curiousity" What happened to you rose?" Rose..that's what he called me. I never liked that nickname until it came from his glorious lips. I was quiet for a moment, Esme and Carlisle excused themselves, I looked to edward and for the first time in our relationship he nodded enouragingly. I was about to change the subject..move on..pick a fight..anything to get me out of this situation but Edward stood up and walked past us. He placed a hand gently on my shoulder. They all thought he could handle it, they all had faith, why couldnt I ? I looked down at my handsome Emmett and began. I told him of Royce and my previous silly human though I was ashamed about what I was..what I use to be, I told him about the night with Vera, and her little henry. Then I spoke of my death. I didn't leave out any details..I owed him that much. I sat quietly once I was through and waited for a response, something, anything to tell me that he forgave me or he could overlook it. I noticed his hands ball up in fists, his expression was clearly of anger. Before I could do anything he spoke harshly. " Where are they?" I was momentarily caught off guard, I didnt know what he was talking about..
" Where are who?"
" Those men, who...did that..."
" They're gone.."
His Voice was rigid with anger.."where Rosalie?"
" I took care of them, I gave them all what they deserve."
He seemed to be contemplating something, I wished more than anything I had Edward's gift. His fists relaxed and before I could react he had me in a bear hug. A true bear hug that wrapped around my whole body. I was pressed against him and usually I would be squirming to get out of a hold such as this with him it was...comforting. He spoke gently, his voice sounded rigid like he was under preassure
" Rosalie, my angel, Im so sorry..what those men did...they should be burned in hell...I'll never, as long as I live ever let something like that happen to you. As long as I am here on this earth I will protect you and keep you safe..do you understand?"
My independent side wanted to push him off, tell him I was more than capable of protecting myself, but I had been strong for so long,I had been the cold and bitter Rosalie for years.. I let myself fall this time. I nodded my head and I let myself "cry" . As my body was shaking from the dry sobs I felt his hand on my back, wispering sweet things into my ear. As I calmed down he continued to hold me, Acceptance was a word that I use to not care a dime about, but to feel acceptance from your soul mate..true..no holes barred acceptance was one of the greatest feelings life had to offer.
The days were passing by at speeds too fast for me to care. The expression time flies when your having fun was never more true. We had moved of course. My family and I were all sitting in the livingroom watching the television which was the newest thing...It was around three in the afternoon, and it seemed like another normal day but Edward had jumped up quickly. All eyes were focused on him, he looked like he was trying to understand something he was hearing...He tilted his head to the side in confusement. He spoke " Someone is on their way and they want to know where their rooms are?" I stood up along with Emmett and Carlisle, Esme went into the other room when I glanced at what she was doing I tried not to giggle, she was cleaning. Leave it to a vampire mother to worry about dust when there are strange visitors on the way. Carlisle spoke next " whose coming what do they mean?" When Edward replied it just sent us all into more confusion " She wants Esme to stop worrying about cleaning because they love us already.." Thats when the footsteps could be heard, my family and I raced to the front steps, Emmett and Edward taking protective stances. I tried looking over their shoulder to see, but couldn't.I felt like a two year old trying to see over the heads of adults Before I was about to push them they suddenly relaxed and I wondered what was going on.I moved to the side of Emmett and I finally could see and what I saw was the strangest thing I think I could have imagined. There were two vampires running, one female and a male. The male looked like he'd rather be doing anything else in the world but what he was doing, and the female looked happy. Not just happy but super-excited-incredibly happy, she was also running with a bouquet of flowers..flowers? I could only stare and wonder what in the world was going on.
