PARENTS
Discalimer: I do not own the series or the characters!
AN: Thanks for everyone who reviewed so far. I've got 6. I didn't expect them at all. Thank you all once again. Ok, on with the chapter!
Biology and the rest of the school day passed uneventfully, except for Edward's continuous thoughts about me and me 'existance'. And let me make a point. It was annoying! I told him to shut up about 25 times during the period. Each time, he would reply with the same sheepish smile, followed by a sorry.
The second the final bell rang, I hurried out the door to my locker. Ofcourse, Edward was already there. And so was the guy from English and Gym - What's his face?
Oh yeah!
Mike Neurobot or something.
Oh brother! Another pain!
Is that BElla? She's hot! Oh! Is she heading towards me? Oh! her locker is right beside mine. That makes it easy for me to influence her!
I could make out Edward scowling at Neurobot. I looked up at Edward and smiled.
Mike is so annoying! I thought to Edward.
He just smirked.
You. Behave. Or else, there'll be some serious consequences.
He just raised his eyebrows, as if he was daring me to do something.
I was suddenly pulled into the future like gravity.
Edward and I are running together somewhere. And then, we reach this beautiful meadow. I suddenly disapper. Edward gets frantic.
I started laughing. Only I knew trhe full meaning of that vision. Heads turned towards me, but I ignored them. Edward just looked at me with a very confused expression on his face, one eyebrow cocked. That only made me laugh harder.
"What?" I asked in between my laughing fits.
"Um.. Technically, isn't that supposed to be my question?" he asked, perplexed.
I simply rolled my eyes.
"So shall we go meet your 'Parents'?" I asked.
He nodded.
I practically dragged Edward out of the corridors. Ofcourse, thoughts followed me.
Look at that snob! It's only her first day here, and she's dragging Edward Cullen somewhere, against his own will. What a useless flirt!
I think that was from a girl named Jessica Stanley alias, Head of Edward Fan Club Dept.
Looking at his expression, I could make out that he was pissed off.
Wow! Doesn't she have any other work other than gossipping about nothing?
Edward thought, rolling his eyes.
Everyone was already at Edwards Volvo.
"That's your car! Dude that is so cool!" Emmett said, caressing the fender three lots ahead of us.
"Yup that's my baby!"
Then, all of a sudden, Alice got an evil glint in her eyes.
"Race you," I shouted, rushing to my car.
We didn't push the limits until we reached the outskirts.
As soon as I shot past Edwrad's volvo, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
I laughed.
We were at his house before we even knew it. I won ofcourse!
"Hey Edward! How does it feel to be beaten by a girl?" Emmett teased.
That earned him two smacks at his head One from Edward and the other from Rosalie.
"Ouch! Why did you do that for? It was the truth!" Emmett exclaimed.
Edward glared while Rosalie rolled her eyes.
I sudenly felt nervous. Here I was, meeting a whole new coven of vampires, and about to tell them my whole history. How would they feel? Will they still talk to me as usual? Or will they shy away?
I really didn't want them to ignore me. After all those years of lonliness, I found one coven. One I could trust my secrets with. I didn't want to lose them.
Jaspersent me waves of calm. I looked back at him and smiled gratefully.
"Er, do you want to come in, or, are you going to stand on the porch steps all day?"
Alice asked.
I could see that she hadn't trusted me yet.
"Thankyou, for letting me come," I said, and stepped in.
The house was beautiful. But that was an understatement. A grand piano sat on one corner of the living room and the southern wall was all glass. I just stood there like an idiot.
"Earth to Bella," someone said snapping me out of my gawking.
"Hello dear," came a voice.
I turned to see Esme on the bottom of the staircase, smiling politely.
"Nice to meet you Esme! I'm Isabeela. But, Bella please," I said.
Her eyes widened.
At that precise moment, I heard another 'voice' enter me.
Who's that? I heard Carlisle think.
I turned around to face avery young youthful, model doctor.
"Hello Dr. Cullen. I'm Isabella Swan and I am currently enrolled at Forks High now. I came across your family here, and I wanted to meet you. I've been without companionship for a very long time," I said, noticing Esme's glance flicker towards Edward at the last part. But her thoughts were guarded.
"Welcome, Isabella. Please sit down,"
"Bella please," I corrected, making my way to the couch at a very impressive corner of the living room.
"So tell us about you," Edward said, once we were all seated.
I hesitated, nervous, fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.
I took a deep breath and began.
"I was changed during the mid 1800's. I was sixteen the. I don't remember much of my human past. I don't know who changed me either. Whoever it was, just walked away. I didn't know what happened to make him or her stop from sucking me dry,"
"Your eyes! They're like ours. How did you know?" Carlisle asked.
"I got flickers of your hunting style. That was the only thing that made me realize what I was and it helped me to kepp myself sane. But after that, I completely lost track of you. I tried but couldn't find any clue leading to you. Then a couple weeks ago, I started seeing your family almost regularly, so I took up on that chance and moved here to meet you all. And well, the rest is history," I finished, waiting warily for their reactions.
Wow! She can see the future like me! --Alice.
She can read minds. --Edward.
She's so lonely yet she's so nice and polite. --Esme
What can she do? I'm gonna ask her. --Emmett.
Oh no! This can't be happeneing!
"What can you do Bella? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" Emmett excalimed excitedly. Meybe a bit too enthusiastic.
"Are you sure?" I asked. I didn't want to get this family in trouble.
"Why do you ask?" Edward questioned.
"It'll cause trouble to you all. I'm carry bad luck and trouble wherever I go. I've gone unscathed so far, but this time I'm positive that there's going to be trouble,"
"Oh! Come on! What's the most that can happen? The Volturi coming here top cause mass destruction?" Emmet scoffed.
I froze.
Realization dawned on every face. Great I'm totally done. They won't want me now.
"Bella, it doen't matter. Consider you as part of our family and tell us," Carlisle said.
"A-Are you sure? I can't afford to put you all in danger,"
"It's okay Bella! Just tell us," Edwrad soothed.
"Anything," I said closing me eyes, praying for no more questions.
"What?" Rosalie spoke for the first time.
"I can do anything,"
The whole living room became a statue.
AN: There's chapter 2 for you all. Next chapter is going to be called Powers. One quote from that chapter.
"Bella, I think you should move in with us. It's really not safe for you to stay alone, unprotected, even with your powers," Carlisle said.
There. That's a small sneak peak, and probably one of the curious thoughts.
Thanks for all who reviewed so far. Please give some boosters guys! I'll post the next chapter soon. But that depends on how fast I can type. This chapter took me about a week to type, with school homeworkd and all. So Please Review!
Thanks,
Laura :)
