Ch. 4

I was amazed at the Cullens house. It was huge! Sam refused to tell me about the Cullens, other than that they're vampires. I was a bit shocked at how many people came out to meet us.

"Hello, Carlisle."

"Hello, Sam."

I could tell there was some tension. I recognized Carlisle as the man that made Laurent stop.

"This is Elizabeth, take care of her, ok?"

Carlisle smiled and nodded.

"Of coarse, she will be safe here."

"Wait, you're leaving me here?"

"We have t run border patrol, and no one would be there to protect you."

I glared at Sam as he told me to be good, climb in his car and left.

"Welcome Elizabeth. I'm Carlisle, this is my wife Esme, our sons Edward, Jasper, and Emmet. Our daughters Alice and Rosaline, and this is Edwards's girlfriend, Bella."

As Carlisle introduced everyone they either nodded or shook my hand. As Carlisle led us into the house I became quick friends with Emmet, who proceeded to drag me to the TV since I mentioned that I like video games. As Emmet was beating me at Halo I noticed Edward, Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle talking with each other and every once and awhile would look at me. With a sigh, I walked over to see what was up.

"Elizabeth, do you mind if I examine you? I'm one of the doctors here in Forks."

"Why?"
"Edward can read your mind and he has told me what has happened to you. I want to make sue that your ok."

I sighed.

"Ok, Carlisle."

I followed Carlisle into the kitchen and sat down on a stool. I noticed that Jasper had followed us. We stared at each other while Carlisle checked my vital signs.

"So Jasper…What's so special about you?"

He looked startled by my question, and I laughed.

"I can read and control people's emotions."

"Cool."

I winced as Carlisle was examining a bruise on my side.

"How long has this been going on Elizabeth?"

"About 14 years."

Carlisle left the room for a minute to get some supplies, while I talked to Jasper.

"So where are you from Elizabeth?"

"Norman , Oklahoma."

"Wow. Do you miss it?"

"Not really, I had no friends, and the weather sucked."

At that Jasper chuckled and I laughed. Then Carlisle came back, and started applying some cream to a fairly fresh wound on my back.

"Ow."

"Sorry, Elizabeth."

"It's alright."

I was grateful when Carlisle was done. I hung out with Jasper, we talked forever.

"So, what's your story Elizabeth? Edward was vague when he told us what he saw."

With a smile, I told Jasper the same story I told Paul. When I finished, Jasper pulled me into a light hug. That's when Alice walked in, we both looked up. Next thing I know I'm being thrown across the kitchen, with Jasper standing above me facing Alice. I could feel Jasper's powers working to calm us down. I slowly sat up, looking between the 2 trying to figure out what happened. By now the rest of the Cullens had came into the kitchen to see what was going on. All of a sudden Edward and Emmet grabbed Alice and took her outside while Carlisle pulled me up and began to check to see if I was alright.

"I'm fine Carlisle. Jasper? What happened?"

"Nothing Elizabeth."

"That wasn't 'nothing'."

"Elizabeth…Sam's here…It's best if you go home."

I stared at Carlisle but nodded and went to meet Sam. Who smiled as me from the car, and took off when I climbed in. Neither of us talked the whole ride home.
