Not really sure, but its another AU with another new character! IDK if I'll ever get anywhere with it, but ya know might as well try, right?!

Loving an Angel

Chapter 19: Leaving

Rosalie POV

Time flew by us like a wild wind in a hurricane. It seemed like only yesterday that we brought Casey only six years old and an orphan into our family hoping that after spending the summer with her we would be able to let go and let her find a more suitable human family. Of course we couldn't let go, and now Casey age eleven is a legal member of the Cullen family and in on our secret, that we were vampires. A secret that now had her condemned to face her own sleepless and endless eternity as a vampire. It was vampire life or death for her now. The Volturi knew we had let Casey know the truth about our family and that was against the rules.

Casey had become a true member of the family. As she grew the things we did with her changed. She didn't play dolls or dress up as often as she once did and she didn't need us to look after her as much. Alice had been forced to step aside and let Casey pick out her own clothes and do her hair. She also began to experiment with make up. She was still our Casey though. Still Carlisle and Esme's daughter. Still Alice's best friend. My dearest sister. Edward's piano student. Still Jasper and Emmett's playmate. Still a dancer, a singer, a pianist, a horseback rider, and still a very talented little girl.

I remembered myself holding her a young child so frail and delicate in my arms and imagining what she would we be like when she was older. It was easy to see that the same little girl was still there. She was still extremely tiny. Shorter than Alice by many inches. All of her classmates had to look down when they spoke to her. She was still extremely thin, but not as fragile and delicate, she was defiantly healthier than when she was little. Her hair was much like mine. Golden just below the shoulders and curly, the same as it has always been. She still had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. A bright baby blue that made them dance lightly in the sunlight.

Though as the time kept passing one thing stayed the same. The way we all looked. As vampires we never aged. We had stayed in this city far too long. It had been five years. We had stayed for Casey's sake, but now it was time for us to leave. To move on and start over again in a new place. In the never ending cycle that was our life. We planned on leaving by the end of the week, no actually we planned to leave three weeks ago before Casey started middle school, but we couldn't tear her away from the city she had known for her whole life. The city where she had lost her first family and had found ours.

We had decided that we couldn't keep the secret of our leaving from Casey any longer. We were going to have to tell her. It was Saturday night and Casey was coming down the stairs after her shower. She had her favorite pajama pants on, they were Capri's with horses on them and she had a pink t-shirt on and a short leaf sweatshirt.

"Casey can you come and sit down we all need to talk," Esme told her as she skipped lightly down the stairs.

"What is it?" She asked.

"You see Casey we have lived here so long and since we never grow older we have to move to keep the secret. I know we told you about that long ago, but now we have to move," Carlisle explained.

"When?" She asked a shocked expression on her face.

"Friday," I said looking up at her.

"But I just started school and I have so many friends and I don't want to leave! I'll miss everyone so much! My friends and everyone! And Catty… Oh no, please don't tell me I have to leave Catty too, I love him so much and our first jumping show is in two weeks!" She sat down onto the armchair and began to cry hiding her face in her arms. Esme rushed to her side and comforted her. We all knew how much she loved that horse. He never ceased to put a smile on her face. When they were together it was like their two hearts bet in a perfect unison.

"We have already stayed here too long, because it breaks our hearts to tear you away from the place you were born and have lived in so long, but it's who we are. As both vampires and as a family. Its part of being a Cullen," Esme tried to soothe her.

"Well, maybe I don't want to be a Cullen any more!" She snapped pulling away from Esme and running out the door. Jasper and Emmett stood to pursue her, but Carlisle stopped them.

"Let her have some time if it gets too late then we'll go look."

"But Carlisle it might still be summer, but it's cold out there. Did you see what she was wearing? She'll freeze!" Esme pleaded.

"No Carlisle is right she needs some time she'll some to her senses," Alice reassured us, but her face did not show the same message.
