CHAPTER 14

I was positive I had never been so stunned in my life before. Just a few feet before me stood a brother that I thought had been one of the many souls that had been swept away by the epidemic influenza. Suddenly I was pulled into one of his many memories, but this one was the most difficult to watch: it was the night I was changed.

I was suddenly in a living room I nearly forgotten, yet it still it brought a wonderful feeling. Edward was at the piano playing a soft melody, the notes were more rushed than they were supposed to be. Finally out of frustration, Edward pushed back against the piano bench and turned to stare at the large clock that hung over the fireplace.

"Edward?" I heard my mothers soft voice call from upstairs.

"Yes mother?"

"Has Eleanor come back yet?" I could hear the anxiety in her voice, though she tried to cover it up.

"No mother." Edward called back, as he began to pace. Then there was a knock on the front door. Edward's head snapped up and he stood still for a moment. He inhaled deeply, and raced toward the door—faster than I have ever seen a human run. He swung the door opened; his face expectant—slightly annoyed—suddenly became pale, as he spotted the two police officers on the porch.

"Edward, is that Ella I heard? I can't believe-"My mothers voice cut short, Edward turned to see mother stop halfway down the staircase. Her bright green eyes widened as she spotted the officers, then with much effort she cleared her face.

"What can I do for you officers?" My mother said coolly, descending down the rest of the stairs.

"Are you Elizabeth Mason, madam?" One the officers asked gravely.

"Yes, yes I am." My mother said calmly, but I could see her hands were trembling.

"Mrs. Mason, we have reason to believe that your daughter has been hurt." The younger of the two officers said, I noticed a basket in his hands. A basket that had the 'Mason Family' embroidered on the side of the basket.

"How so?" My mother asked briskly—I could tell she was trying to hold in her emotions.

"It seems Miss. Eleanor was spotted going into town. A by passer went down the same route your daughter supposedly took. Marcus Renter was found dead with a crushed skull, and a pool of blood was found a few feet away from his body." The officer paused for a few moments, letting it soak in. "There was also specks of blood leading away from the scene, we have reason to believe your daughter has escaped from an attack that has left Mr. Renter dead. It is possible she is still alive."

"Alive? You just said she's been hurt, now you're saying that my daughter has a possibility of being dead?" My mother's voice cracked, as she glanced from one officer to the next.

"It's a possibility Mrs. Mason."

I pushed back the rest of the memory, not wanting to see the reaction. I now stared at him, and then as if my body was moving on its own I was running toward him. I crashed into him, embracing him tightly.

"Ella…you are a vampire." Edwards's voice was full of so much disbelief, that it made me laugh.

"I would say the same to you, Edward." I muttered, pulling back from him.

"How?" He asked, seeming oblivious to the shocked stares of his coven and also of the human girl behind him.

I let him see bits pieces of what happened with Marcus, but I kept some parts of me and Alex out of my thoughts. Some things Edward didn't need to know—at the moment. He watched what I replayed in my mind with a clenched jaw.

I glanced over my shoulder at Carlisle. He looked the same as he had over a hundred years ago. He was the person who had changed my brother; Edward seemed to see him as a role model. The very vampire that has not even tasted human blood before.

"It is good to see you again Dr. Cullen." I said coolly, turning toward him. I knew he recognized me, because he was searching through his memories.

"You too, Eleanor," Carlisle said with a warm smile.

"Alice, Rosalie, Esme, Jasper, Emmet," I said acknowledging the rest of Edward's coven. I first glanced over at the one, whose name was Alice, who was short, and was framed like a pixie and had with really short pitch black hair. Rosalie was probably the most beautiful of the three–out shining Sarah any day. Esme, Edwards's mother figure had caramel waves of hair and soft golden eyes. The two men of the coven, excluding Edward and Carlisle, were Jasper and Emmet. Jasper, Edwards's military brother, seemed to be the one who strategize the fight against the newborns weeks ago, and Emmet was Edward's favorite brother. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Ella, and my sisters Sarah and Margie."

After I pointed out my sisters, I sidestepped Edward and came face to face with the girl who had stolen Edward's heart. Her name was Isabella but she preferred Bella—it was kind of ironic how we had only one letter difference between our preferred names. I could see the uncertainly and the hurt in her eyes, before they were terrified as I was right in front of her.

"Hello, Bella." I murmured softly. She blinked, surprised that I knew her name. I still couldn't get into her memories though, which I wasn't surprised. When Bella didn't answer, I began again. "I'm Edward's younger sister."

Bella's eyes widened and she looked past me at Edward, out of the corner of my eye I saw him nod.

"It still doesn't explain why I couldn't see you coming." Alice blurted. She could see the future just like Margie could, except she didn't have to touch something to know its future.

"I can explain that one." Margie said calmly, everyone turned to stare at her. "I also have the ability to see the future, Alice. Mine, however, being limited, but I can also block vampires that have the same ability as mine, from seeing me or someone close to me. I on the other hand could see you through Ella."

My jaw dropped—I never knew that. Margie laughed lightly at my expression, but the rest stood in silence.

"I'm assuming you heard us playing?" Edward asked solemnly, I could tell by the look in his eyes, he would have never put Bella in the position if he knew we were coming.

"Pretty much." I muttered, glancing at the rest of his family, after seeing half their memories and all of Edwards. I could tell the odd, yellow color eyes were caused by hunting predators of the animal kingdom.

"Maybe we should relocate to our home—not far from here—where we can talk more comfortably?" Carlisle said warmly.

"We will love to, Carlisle." Margie answered before I could. I felt a broad smile spread across my lips the beautiful home that was so clear in Edward's mind. I was beyond excited to get to see it and also to catch up with my brother. Meeting Edward seemed to be another chapter in my complicated, vampiric life, but it seemed this one was going to be exceptionally exciting.
