From Last Time

Esme seemed truely happy, but just then a frown crossed Edward's face. "What do you mean, Alice she gets my room?"

I looked up, "Oh Alice let Edward have his room. I want the attic anyway."

Her eyebrow raised, "Why would you want up there?" Her question was simple, but she was really confused. I heard Edward snicker as he heard teh answer in my head.

"I have seen you and Esme love to decorate, so I thought..." I let my voice fade off. Alice squeled and hugged me, and Esme was glowing happily.

Emmett looked over at me, his arm around Rose, "So, new sister. Do we get to know your name?"

Chapter 3

I looked over at Emmett, sweet lovable Emmett. Edward rolled his eyes. 'Think what you like.' I thought, 'I will like Emmett.' I turned to my new brother. "My name is Elizella (pronoused E-Liz-Ella) Anne Howard. But you can call me Ella, most people do."

Carlisle looked at me, "If you are going to be a Cullen we will have to work on a story for you."

Alice smiled, "It is already done. Ella is my twin sister. Our Aunt who she was staying with died, and you adopted her so we could be together." We did look similar, being of the same height and smallish features.

"Ella Cullen." I said happily, "I like it." They all laughed. "No I do." Alice reached into her pocket. What was she doing? I hadn't seen anything coming.

"Ella, I knew you were going to join our family, so..." She pulled out a small silver locket from her pocket, on the outside was the Cullen Crest. "Welcome to the family."

I was overjoyed, I couldn't speak. "Thank you." I squeaked out. Alice laughed. She would. Loves the fact she surprised me. Edward nodded. I was going to like him.

Edward laughed, "I supose you will." he replied, "I do think I will like you too."

Rosalie had been quiet. She didn't want me here, I could tell. A small hiss escaped Edward's lips. Rose stiffened, "Why is she joining our family?" Rosalie asked, "She wasn't invited."

Alice rolled her eyes, "Neither was Jasper or I, do you want us to leave. Ella was sent to us for a very important reason. We need her and she needs us, you need to learn to like with that, Rosalie. She is one of us now."

Rose was quiet, "Please, Rosalie." I said quietly, "We will be great friends. After all someone has to be my partner in crime." Rose smiled, she caught my drift.

"Well," Rose was pretending to consider it, "Okay, I guess you can stay."

"Thank you, Rosie." I said happily. It made me feel so much better to know that I had her seal of approval. They all accepted me here. Jasper was looking at me curiously, "Yes?"

"About my past, what did you see?" Jasper was worried.

"Never fear, Jazzy." I replied. "I never share what I see. People do not mean for me too. It is not my right to tell them what I see. This is a private thing between the two of us."

"You didn't answer my question, Ella." I smiled, so observent. How would I get away with anything here.

"Everything." I said quietly. "I saw about Maria, mostly. Then Alice, and so on."

Jasper nodded. "I see." was all he said.

"She wouldn't tell Jazz, not even me. I can see it." Alice replied putting her hand on his shoulder.

Edward nodded, "She won't Jazz, she protects your memories."

"What about your past?" Carlisle asked, "How old are you?"

That is a question I wished he wouldn't have asked. Edward raised his eyebrow, "Older than you are. I was born in 1520, I guess that makes me 478 years old. Anne Boleyn was my best friend. It was her death that made it so I could not partake in human blood. Well I was not a vampire at the time, but still..." I trailed off. Please don't ask anymore, I don't want to take about it. I can't talk about it. The pain started to tear me apart. No I must stay in control of this.

"How did you..." Emmett started to ask, but a sharp glare from Edward cut him off. 'Thank you' I thought. Edward nodded.

"So about you bedroom, we better get to work soon. We will need to move stuff out of the attack into the attic of the barn. Then we need to insulate it and sheetrock it. Boys we have lots of work to do." Esme said happily. She was planning my room already. Oh good, I wanted to make her happy. I am sure this will work. Alice was sure to be planning my wardrobe. She can try, but I will ware what I want to. She can help, but she won't control that.

Edward nodded to Esme. "We will get right on that. If we all get to work on it we can have the sheetrock in before the storm tonight and still get in a game of baseball." I smirked at that. I did love baseball.

Emmett laughed. "I call dibs on the big stuff." He said running up the stairs. Flaunting his strenght, so Emmett. Just then the door bell rang. A new sweet sent filled my nose. It was Edward's human.

I am a tad hurt. I really wanted some reviews. I don't feel like anyone reads this without them, and wonder if it is worth continuing. I hate to do this, but I will not review untill I recieve 5 to 10 reviews. I am also still looking for a name for Ella's mate. If some people will be so nice as to make some suggestions it would be much appresiated. Remenber, something that combines two names with a meaning. Winner gets virtual cookies their name used in story. Please, please review. Love you all.
