Sorry for the wait. I'll try and update again this week, because after Sunday, I don't think I'll have internet access for about two weeks. I only own Ian, Amber, and Amelia. Sorry it isn't very long.
Carlisle P.O.V.
"Didn't you say you were going to bring Suze's cousins over here tonight?" I asked.
Jesse nodded. "They should be here soon. And I though you all were vegetarians." He was looking at the dish Edward was pulling out of the oven. We had told him that, but I hadn't expected him to remember.
"We'll explain while you two eat." I say, as Alice heads towards the door. Just as she reaches it, the bell rings.
When she opens the door, three people stand there, two girls and a boy. Alice pauses before opening the door more and stepping aside to let them in. My family has stepped into the room and the boy looks up. "Edward."
The hate in Edward's eyes and voice is obvious, even if the reason for it is hidden. "Ian. What are you doing here?"
"Suze invited us."
"You're her cousin." I feel the tension in the room and glance at Jasper. He looks stressed; apparently the emotions reverberating around the room are too much for him, because soon he leaves. Then the eldest girl, about Susannah's age, speaks for the first time. She stares across the room at Bella.
"Bella? Bella Swan?"
Bella's eyes widen. "Crap."
At this point, Edward intervenes. "Dinner's ready, everyone."
We surround the table and Edward sets the dish down. Ian looks at it before saying, "That isn't enough for fifteen people."
"Good thing only six of us intend to eat it then." Edward mutters.
Edward P.O.V.
Ian looks at me, and I hear him arguing with himself, in his head. Vampires? No, not possible. How could this be happening? But why not? I see ghosts all the time, and they're real enough.
So he has the same strange ability as Suze. Could it be a hereditary thing, genetic, passed among family members? Well, on the bright side, he's in the same boat as Suze, and possibly Jesse.
Suze looked at us and said, "I don't know what's going on with you all, but I feel I need to know. In exchange for your story, I'll tell you min and Jesse's story." She was mainly addressing Bella, but still talking to everyone.
Carlisle looked at her then said, "That's exactly what we were going to propose. The only thing is these three. Are you sure we can trust them?"
Suze nodded, and I said, "At least Ian has the same ability as Suze, although I'm not sure about the other two."
"How'd you know?" Suze asked, slightly taken aback. I just tapped my temple with my right index finger.
Then Jacob interrupted. "Can we eat before this gets cold? I'm starving."
I nod. "Carlisle? Would you like to do the honors?"
