Chapter 6: the Cullen's
Oh my god, where is Bella!
I haven't heard anything. She didn't come down the stairs to leave and I thought she was too clumsy to even dare try and go out her window. Unless, someone had come to get her. Flashing back to when Edward whispered into her ear, she calmed down right after that.
I don't know if I should call Charlie, saying she's disappeared again. He'll never let her the leave the house again if he finds out about this. I'll hold off for an hour first. See if I can get in contact. Getting my phone I start to ring hers. Damn, she's left it here. I can hear her phone ringing in her room.
Think! Think! What can I do. Trying to see who I can call with out Charlie finding out. Charlie! He rang Dr Cullen the other day!
Running over to the kitchen, where the phone is hanging on the wall. I notice a little note book on top of it. Please have numbers in. I plead in my mind. Opening it, yes! There is, but it's not in alphabetical order… flicking through it for a few seconds I try to find something with one of there names on. Alice! I hope this is the right Alice.
Taking in a deep breath, I start dialling the number in. Holding my breath as it rings I wait for someone to pick up.
"Hello" her voice sounds like bells.
"Hi. Um, is this Alice Cullen?"
"It is. How can I help you Isabeau?" She chirped, how does she even know it's me ringing.
"How did you know it was me ringing?" She giggles.
"My phone flashed with the name Swans home. And Charlie at work and Bella has my number on her phone. So it could only be you silly" okay? How does- right Izzy said she was good at knowing stuff.
"Oh, um, I'm just calling to see if Bella is at your house? I went to her room to give her some food and she wasn't there" it was silent, but I heard some harsh whispering " if it helps I haven't told Charlie anything. I wasn't going to unless I couldn't find her in a hour. Charlie is already mad. If he found out about this, he would be locking her in the house for forever" please be there.
"Yes, Bella is here" I heard Izzy shout her name. That hurt a bit, she really didn't want me to know.
"Thank god. Do you know what time she'll get back home please?" I hope before Charlie.
"In a hour and a half tops" she chirps, okay that's not so bad. Before I can thank her she carries on talking "Why don't you come over to pick her up?"
What?
I could hear a few people whispering at her, I don't think they like her offer. I don't think I should go over.
"I don't think that's a good idea. I don't want to intrude, I don't know your family and I think Izzy went over to yours to get away from me" I explain softly.
"Don't be silly. Bella loves you. She just came to us, to get some answers. And we would also like to apologise too you too Izzah, for what we have done to Bella."
Izzah? That's a new one… do I want to sort this out when I'm half asleep. I don't know what going to come out of my mouth. My filter doesn't really work well when I'm tired.
I heard the phone getting passed to someone.
"Hello Miss Isabeau, this is Carlisle." He had a nice voice. It was musical like Alice's and Edwards but his voice feels like it's vibrating through me, even with the phone muffling it. "We would really like for you to come over. You are Very important to Bella, that means you are important to us. And Bella needs you to except us" low blow dude. Okay that has just peed me off.
"Okay" I whispered, making my voice all soft and upset, to make it seem as though I agreed with him "I'll come over…"
"Thank you." He said sincerely. He thinks he has won. Oh you wait buddy, just you wait. Pausing for a moment he Gives me their address, woah they live out of town.
"Thanks, I'll try to be there soon" ass, god what a manipulative git. Saying my goodbye, I start running around the house to find my stuff so I can leave.
Driving in silence, I grip the wheel so tightly that my knuckles are white. How dare he! How dare he use my relationship with Izzy to get his own way. Who the hell does he think he is! If he thinks Izzy's can persuade me to accept them. Oh he's going to see who's made Izzy stubborn and she knows she can't change my opinion once it's set.
Driving a bit slower I watch out for the hidden turning. Why is there a guy dancing about over there! He is huge. Probably the same height as Jay. He's got short curly black hair and he's very burly. I think I would if classed him intimidating, if he didn't have such a child like expression.
Waving for me to pull over to him, I see the hidden turning. Huh. Rolling my window down, he leans in.
"Hey! I'm Emmett Cullen" wow his smile is big.. he's also got the same amber eyes like Edwards, but his are full with mischief. Making his way around to the other side of my car, he lets himself in. The car dips, like I said this guy is huge.
"Yes. Get in. It's totally fine" I droned on to him
Laughing "I don't mind if I do" cheeky "I thought you might need some help finding this turn. It's incredibly easy to pass by" he smiles at me more gently, his eyes shining with something that I can't quite just make out.
"Thank you" I really mean it "I really would of drove past it, if I didn't see you dancing about" chuckling at the end. "So do the rest of your family know you came out?"
"No, well I don't think so. I only told my Angel" I raise an eyebrow at him " Rosalie, the love of my existence"
That a bit of a strange word for that sentence. Existence, the way he said it, is there a hidden meaning to it.
"Right where do I go from here?" Looking down the creepy hidden road.
"Just follow this road all the way down. The house is right at the end" he explained. Well here's nothing as I set of for my doom.
The short car ride with Emmett was quite funny. He didn't stop talking for one thing. And didn't stay on one topic long enough before something else popped into his head, that he just had to say out loud.
Such as his impersonations of all his family members. His try at sounding like me. How he wants a puppy, but doesn't think it would go so well with everyone in the house and If I could tell him embarrassing story about Izzy. All in the five minutes drive.
I like him. He's my favourite Cullen so far.
Pulling up to the house, I was in awe at it. It was beautiful, so open.
"Alice and Rose designed it" Emmett told me, opening my door. Woah when did he get there. "Come on everyone is waiting!" Getting out and making sure I've got my keys, I let him drag me to his home. His hand is really cold, freezing cold.
Izzy meets me at the door "I'm so sorry for running off. I just really needed an answer. I couldn't wait till tomorrow"
Nodding at her, I try to understand. She must really love this family. If it was me I'd be ignoring them. See how they like it.
"Did you get your answer" I asked
"Yes" whatever it was, she's happy with the answer, but Edward who's just a bit behind her doesn't look happy at all. I wonder what she asked. "Come on, we are going up to the sitting room. Just follow us" Edward lead the way holding Izzy's hand. Emmett stayed behind me with a little hop in his step.
Why is there so many steps. Reaching up to the room I see four more people, two women and two men. One girl was incredibly beautiful (well they are all beautiful) she had long golden blonde hair, perfectly styled in waves down her back. The perfect body ever girl aims for. But her expression was odd she seemed a bit sad and happy at the same time when she looked at me. Emmett walked over to her wrapping his arm around her wait. Ahh that must be Rosalie.
The two next to her was a girl with short black hair. It was pointing is all directions, yet you could see it was styled too. She was the shortest. She reminds me of a cheeky pixie, specially with that grin she's aiming at me. I back away a little bit. Emmett snorts at me, shooting him a glare I move on to the next person, who the pixie had her arms wrapped around.
He was tall, but just a few inches shorter than Emmett. He had honey blond hair that fell just about his collar. He's muscular but lean. He looks stiff and in pain but he looks shocked to see me. Why am I getting so many funny looks from this family, like they can't believe I'm in front of their eyes.
The last one, he was a blonde and again he was tall like the others. (He looked like one of your old fashion movie stars) He was also the oldest out of them all, but only looked a year older that me. His look towards me was the strangest. He look gobsmacked. Looking me up and down just to make sure that I was really real.
What was the strangest thing about all of them is that they were all extremely pale (paler than me and Izzy) and all had amber eyes. Well they kind of looked gold… it's really weird. I thought izzy said they weren't related. So why do they have the same skin and eyes.
"Hi Izzah!" The pixie chirped sounding like bells "I'm so glad you decided to come. I'm Alice," pointing next to her "This is Jasper, my boyfriend"
"Hello Isabeau" he greeted me, with a nod of his head. He now had a gentle smile. His voice was very smooth and melodic.
"This is my angel Rosalie" Emmett announced. Still smiling like a mad man. Rosalie gave a soft smile and nodded choosing not to talk.
"And this is Carlisle, our father" Edward told me. Carlisle looked in shock. I guess he's not going to talk anytime soon.
Izzy took my hands.
"Please forgive them a little bit Bow, I understand and forgive them for what they did" of course she does. They are her family, she loves them. But they are nothing but strangers to me.
"Izzy. You were a mess" I watched the family all wince "I can't just forgive them just like that. You didn't hear how Charlie was. He was on the phone to me every day, nearly crying. He didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do. I had already planned to come back before your birthday. It should of taken me a year to move. But because of all this. I worked my ass off to get my marks, so I would be able to just fall in place with the new term. And get to you quicker"
Pulling her into my arms.
"I love you Izzy. To hell and back, but I can't just forgive them for you." I told her. "They are going to have to prove that they won't do this to you again" from the looks of it they won't, but something could happen and change their minds like a switch.
"I will never leave Bella again. It nearly killed me" Edward told me, I feel Izzy flinch and his family look at him with some hidden pain in there eyes. What happened in Italy? As though he heard me. He looked away in shame.
He looks like a sad puppy, bumping his shoulder, I gently pass Izzy back to him. He looks at me shocked.
"You look like a whipped puppy, it's making me feel guilty. This doesn't mean I forgive you. I just don't like seeing people sad" I told him.
"I promise I won't leave Bella again" yeah, yeah. I'll believe it when I see it. Just nodding back at him I look around the room feeling a bit out of place.
"We promise Isabeau that we will make it up to you and Izzy" Carlisle said. Looking me straight in the eyes. I swear his eyes have gotten darker since the last time I looked. Rolling my eyes at him, I look away. Still angry with what he said to get me here.
Looking back to Izzy. "When do you want to set off back home?" Yeah, I'm in no mood to talk to these people. I just want to get away from them.
She just looked at me, then up to Edward. She really can't stand to leave him, can she?
"You can spend another hour if you want to? I mean we've got nothing better to do at home" ugh, I really can't say no to her. Specially when she looks at me like that. All happy.
"Yay!" Guess who said that. "You can tell us all about yourself, Bella has only told us to much about you. Only that you act like a big sister and acted like a mother that she wanted. You let her be a kid" wow I didn't know she thought of me that way. Looking over to her, I can see she blushing like a tomato and fiddling with her hands. Smiling gently at her, I blush a little bit myself. I feel quite proud of her thinking of me as a mum.
"Come, come sit with us." Sighing I follow Alice to the sofa. Getting squished in between her and Emmett.
"So, tell us some facts about yourself?" Emmett asked.
Humouring then.
"I'm twenty two, I've lived in England since I was fifteen" not telling them I ran away "I'll be shadowing Dr Riley in two weeks at Forks hospital. With going to Seattles college once a week. And I just got my bug this afternoon" short but sweet and only tells them what they would of found out in time.
Carlisle came over to join the conversation, instead of staying at the back.
"Your learning to be a doctor" he asks looking a bit shocked. What don't I look doctor material.
"Yes, I've always liked helping people and what's best than saving a life as a doctor" I told him. I look around for Izzy, but see she has disappeared along with Edward.
"Bella said you are looking at houses" Rosalie put in " if you like me and Alice could help you" to be honest that's a great offer. I've got no clue with what I'm looking for. And seeing this house, they would be lots of help.
"That would be amazing thank you." I said sincerely looking at her. "I honestly don't know what I'm looking for." I admitted.
"Don't worry I will know the perfect house for you, the moment we see it" Alice announced. I really do believe her.
After chatting a bit more, Izzy comes back down to say she's ready to leave. Saying our goodbyes, I get a hug from both Alice and Emmett and nods from everybody else. Walking out the house I look back at them, they all look happy.
"Nice car" Izzy told me.
Oh why can't I be mean to people.

Well I hope you liked this chapter. It took me a bit longer cause I got a 24 hour bug.
I hope I wrote the Cullen's well. Even if it was just a little bit of writing them to meet them.
