2000s
"So I'm Emmett and this is Edward." Emmett said while looking into the back of the car. The female was watching the surroundings fly by.
Her thoughts consisted solely of criticism and questions about the vehicle they were traveling in, giving nothing away about her intention. Her thoughts suddenly shifted to a book and she started rereading it silently from memory.
"What's your name, miss?"
"Wait! What's your name? I'm Carlisle Cullen." The sound of his father's voice from her mind made Edward feel slightly better about taking this stranger to their home.
She scoffed and didn't respond.
Edward was annoyed with how little he was getting from her thoughts as she continued 'reading'.
He was relieved when they got to the house and saw that no one was there, in case things got dangerous. Edward figured he and Emmett could fight and win against her if it came to that, but if Esme or Alice was here⦠well they were the weakest fighters in the family.
She bolted out of the car when they stopped, and Edward was just grateful that she had used the door instead of jumping through the glass window. With quick, light footsteps she went to the front of the house. She casually jiggled the locked handle of the front door. Before Edward could tell her to wait she wrenched the door open, splintering the doorframe.
"I thought you said he'd be here. He's not here." The female said as she placed her hands on her hips and looked at the front room.
'Strange, two? The desert maybe' Bella breathed in deeply.
"Carlisle should be back soon." Emmett said calmly. Bella growled more in annoyance than anger.
"Fine! But if he is not here in an hour I shall not be very happy!" Before either of them could respond she ran upstairs and into Carlisle's study.
'Stupid- Ah! What is he reading now-a-days?' Her thoughts eased to a murmur as she picked up one of his books and started reading.
What do you think?
