Chapter 2 – Bella gets to know the Cullen's

Edward:

I sat and watched Bella sleep. I don't what it is about her but I was in love. It was so weird because I couldn't read her mind. It was blocked from me. Esme walked in and said "Edward I have to wake her up, her uncles will be here at 11am and it's already 8:00". Is she going back to Volterra with them? I asked. "I don't know" Esme said. I hope not but let her sleep for one more hour and when she wakes up I will go hunt and you can get her ready, I said. Esme complied and then said "You love her, don't you?" I replied with a nod and she smiled and walked out the door. I heard her thoughts loud and clear "Finally my son will be happy!" I watched Bella as she breathed in and out. She looked content and she smelled so good.

Bella:

I woke up and found Edward sitting by my bed side. I couldn't help but smile at him. He was so handsome and he looked like quite the gentleman. He got up and stood over me. "How did you sleep?" I said fine. He then said I guess I should go get Esme and Alice so they can get you fed, washed , and dressed. No, can we talk for a minute? I asked trying not to sound so desperate. Edward and I talked for an hour about his family and I was amazed at how they lived off the blood of animals instead of humans. He told all about how Carlisle changed him and how everyone else came to be a part of his family. He explained how he could read minds, Alice could see the future, and Jasper could control emotions. I wanted to meet them as soon as possible. There was so much to discuss but he explained to me that he had to go hunt and Alice had to primp me.

I don't why I was so comfortable around vampires, but I liked them more than my biological parents. I belonged here with Edward and the rest of the Cullen's. I'm never going back home! A dark-haired pixie like girl bounced through the door who I presumed was Alice from Edward's description came in and was energetic and bubbly. "Hi Bella! She exclaimed. We don't have much time so let's go you have to wash and there will be an outfit on your bed when you get out and please be careful. Edward will kill me if anything happens to you not to mention what your uncles will do to me." I nodded and said thank you. As I was washing I thought about what I was going to say to my uncles about the abuse and why I didn't tell them sooner. I got out of the shower and got dressed. Alice left me a royal blue baby doll dress with black tights and blue ballet flats. Even though I could only wear one because of my cast.

I hopped into the living room and saw two guys and a beautiful blonde. The blonde walked up to me and said "Hi, how are you feeling?" I said fine and then a big buff guy hugged me and said "Welcome to the family." I couldn't help but smile. The blonde hit him on the shoulder and said "calm down or you'll break her" and then they started to bicker. You guys must be Emmett and Rosalie and the other male in the room who looked scared but focused said "Yes, and I'm Jasper." My guess was that he was trying to calm Emmett and Rosalie down. Esme came in and brought me breakfast and I ate it so fast they all thought I inhaled it. Then Carlisle came in and checked put my ankle. I was looking around for Edward but he wasn't back and it was already 10:45. My uncles would be here soon and I was excited.

Aro:

I can't wait to see Isabella. I haven't seen her since she was 16 and I missed her dearly. I am sure she has grown to be even more beautiful than the last time I saw here. As my brothers and I approached the door Carlisle and Esme met us and greeted us with a huge welcome. I hugged my old friend and kissed his wife on the cheek and my brothers did the same. We walked in and saw Isabella standing there on crutches with a bandage around her head. I gasped and let out a profane word and I became enraged. Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder to try and calm me down but I couldn't I was too angry. My brother Caius asked Isabella "Who the hell did this to you?!" Tell us, tell us now! Bella jumped at his tone and said "My parents." I turned around at vampire speed and started out the door as my brothers followed. We got to our cars and started to drive only to be stopped by…

Okay, so I left a little cliffhanger. Can you guess who stopped them? Next chapter will explain how they know Bella and her parents and the decision on how they will deal with Bella's parents.
