Well I wasn't the one who found them. Carlisle was. I was with Esme and her fashionista friend, Shawna, and her coven. We were on a trip of torture, going shopping around the world. We'd already been gone 4 days into the trip when Carlisle called.
"Hey, daddy, what's going on?" I asked in a sweet innocent voice.
"I need to talk to Esme, Bells." He told me. I frond.
"Then why'd you call me?!" I complained. Not to be mean but Esme does have her own cell.
"Sorry, sweetie, but she tends not to answer her phone on shopping-sprees." True.
"Esme." I called out from the dressing room Shawn had me trapped in. "Carlisle's calling and wants to talk to you." I stuck my cell out of the dressing room. Esme grabbed it instantly but some one decided to slap my hand. Hard. Evil little Shawna!
She's 5'1" with long blond hair with some brown mixed in. As a human she was a Victoria's Secret model and has a gorgeous body, even though most people tend to believe it's her twin who was the model. Damn that sounded gay! It was because she was a model that Carlisle changed her. He thought she death would be a waist and he believed she deserver a life longer than 16 years. Her boy friend, at the time, talked to his friends about her constantly and after a party that she had gotten wasted at, one heavily abused her while he raped her. She has the gift of the 6th sense.
Cassandra, or Cassy as she prefers to be called, is her twin sister. She was dieing of cancer at 19 that she'd refused to have treated when Shawn bit her. She's 5'6" with fiery red hair to match her personality. Her body is one of a Playboy model. One that kills your ego with on look and burns your self-esteem with the second. Boobs, curves, and legs. She has the gift to make people, especially men, do what she wants. Some times she came just say it in her mind, or influence the victim to think they thought of it them selves. It's way cool and often comes in handy. But she'd never use it for the wrong reason.
Kat was their little sister in life. She's 4'9" with hair like Selena Gomez. And a gymnasts body. She was 13 when Cass changed her. She had been showing some tricks to some friends when another vamp attacked her. Cassy, who had been in the area at the time, just couldn't watch her little sister die. Her power is to take some thing she's seen and project it in to some one else's head as if they had seen it them selves. It is seriously cool but at the same time distracting.
Now comes the boys.
Cobbi was a pro surfer, sun streaked hair and all. 6'4" and all muscle. He's also Shawn's mate. He was dieing of a shark attack when Shawn found him and instantly fell in love. His gift is knowing. Knowing the answers to a question. Knowing about some one. Knowing every thing as long as its not in the future. And with his coven mates he can get the general idea of where they are and what their up to. But most of the time, especially with Cassy and her mate, he tries hard not to.
Next comes Eli. A true knight in shining armor! Seriously. He and his look alike twin brother where King Arthur's knights of the round table. 6'7" with semi-long brown hair and a fighters body. He doesn't talk about his past but he had known Cassy in he human life but as her cancer had gotten worse and the urge to change her got worse he fled. 5 years later they met again and have been inseparable ever since. It gets annoying after a while including with how muck time they spend doing "it". He feel pain, weakness, power, desire, fears, and guilt. And he's mega quiet.
Tristan is his look alike. They're identical minus the fact their bit marks are different. He met Kat because he and his brother go almost every were together. You almost never see one with out the other, where you find one your bond to find the other. He sees connections, souls. He sees peoples bonds. He told me once that Cassy and Eli's souls become one when their together. But he has anther gift that truly reflects his past as a spy on the enemies. He can change his and other appearance (that includes their visibility) and teleport.
"Shawn, what the heck?!" I yelled.
"It's not my twerp twin." Cassy said from the other side of the door. " Tristan and Kat are spying on Esme. Want to know the phone chat?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" I yelled.
"Shhhh!" Cassy hushed at me.
"but only the important stuff." I whispered.
"Humph. Fine." Kat's voice said, coming from behind me. I swear if I was human I'd be in heart attack city right now. I spun around on my heels and looked at her and Tristan.
"What the hell is he doing in here?" I asked
"Stop acting like you care." He scolded me. And it true. I don't care.
"So?" I asked
"Oh! Esme had to go, Carlisle changed some kids he found a bear killing while he was hunting. She wanted to help him." Kat told me, a little ticked that I didn't want the help of her gift. "Congrates! You have 5 new bawders and sistas." She was trying to sound like Cobbi does some times when he starts talking like he used to as a surfer. It wasn't great, it wasn't even good, but it was amusing.
-------------- -------------- ------------- ------------- 3 days later after the shopping-spree
Shawn and her coven had finally freed me from the trocher's of Shawn and Cass's shopping habits. Freedom at long last! 7 days wasn't on of the worst (the worst lasting ½ a year. If I was a human I'd still have nightmares. Instead I'm afraid to zone out for fear of being reminded) but I still don't like it. Shopping should only be when necessary!
I was sitting by the pool at my family's new fairy tale mansion (I've only been in it before… never). I'm reading Black Hills by Nora Roberts and my best friend, Jacob Black, and our other friends, Seth, Leah, Embry, and Quil, are here. They're part of the near by werewolf pack. Carlisle doesn't agree with me being friends with them but, after me winning our last argument about the subject, refuses to "further the discussion" as he puts it.
Leah's sun tanning and the boys are splashing around. When I'd gotten home from… well you get where I was, I'd gotten home to see it empty. The newborns were off hunting with Carlisle and Esme. I'd taken this as the perfect chance to invite my buds over and try out my new swimsuit (picture on profile). I where some small jean shorts over the bottoms.
"Bells, stop reading for a bit, and come do a chicken fight with me ageist these fools!" Jacob called at me, eyeing Quil and Embry as Seth laughed hysterically. I set my book down and did a cannon ball with a running start into the pool. Jacob grabbed me and lifted me on to his shoulders like Embry had Quil.
"Ready… set… fight!" Seth yelled in between laughs. Quil and I grabbed each other pushing, shoving at the other. He had me beat by height, but I had him beat in muscle. He almost had me, but I quickly placed my hands on his abs and shoved him back. He practically flew off Embry's shoulder and splashed down hard in the water and a wave of water hit Leah. Shoot!
"You didn't!" she screamed. Opps?
"Run!" we all yelled in unison. Jake dropped he off his shoulders and hopped out of the pool, pulling me in front of him. Like a shield.
"Stop!" I yelled as Quil, Embry, and Seth hid behind me. "How about we play soccer? Leah, Jake, and I on one team? Quil, Embry, and Seth on the other?"
"Fine!" Leah spat grabbing the ball. We ran to the field and the game began.
For most of the game we were tided. The score was 20 to 20 (mostly because Jake and Quil were horrible goalies and me and Embry kicked the ball high). I could here people coming up behind me but I ignored the presents. Running to get to the goal as Leah dribbled the ball up the field, Embry and I fooled each other. I'd nock him down, he'd pick me up and through me out of the field. Seth barley put up a fight against his sister probably out of fear for his sister. Leah kicked the ball my way, I hit Embry hard sending him fling 10 yards away from the field, and began dribbling the ball. I got close enough to the goal and smacked it, stopping in my tracks. The ball soared, hitting Quil in the gut and sending him up and into the goal with the ball.
"Goal!" Jake and Leah howled, running up to me. We grabbed each other and started happy dancing, jumping up and down with happy tear fling down our face. We screamed, "Yes," over and over again.
I turned just as the ball sailed into my stomach and throwing me into my team's goal post. My head hit the post and I was super glade I was indestructible.
"Sorry!" Quil called as I pushed myself off the artificial turf. " I didn't mean to hit you like that. I was aiming at Jake!"
"Oh, you mean like this?" I called out as I nailed Jacob in the head. The ball hit his head and bounced off.
"Bella!" I heard Esme's angry voice yell form behind me. Crap! I turned to see Esme and Carlisle looking extremely disappointed, Shawna's covens looking amused, and the dumbfounded faces of my oh to familiar new coven mates…
