Chapter 5
It was raining. This is Forks, I reminded myself. I knocked on the door and called Emmett's name. He answered soon after.
"I'm hungry." I told him.
"We're going hunting in a few days. You're welcome to come." He answered.
"Do you have any human food? I would like you to survive the night."
"I guess Jacob has some stuff in the fridge-"
I jumped over his head and raced towards the fridge. I ripped the door off its hinges and grabbed a pint of ice cream. I inhaled that and was reaching for another pint when I heard Emmett's voice again.
"How can you stand that stuff?"
"Oh. I'm sorry. Did you want some?"
"Ugh. No. How do you stand it?"
"It's this or you. Your choice." I shrugged as I reached for a new container. Then, two new vampires entered the room. I tensed but reached for a spoon. I turned around and watched them.
The older man interrupted the silence.
"Come sit down. I'm Carlisle and this is Edward", he said, gesturing to the bronze-haired boy beside him. I sunk into a white couch and waited. My eyes flicked over Carlisle's coven and rested on the small kid. I gasped.
"No! She's not an immortal child. She's half human!" This brunette chick exclaimed.
"GOD! You don't live a like, a kajillion years to be fooled by one of those. She's what got Aro pissed. I like Aro pissed." She looked at me like I was insane.
"I see you have already met Bella and Renesmee. There is Rosalie, Alice and Esme. The one in the corner there is Jacob. We are sorry if he smells bad to you." Carlisle told me.
"Actually he smells good." I said, surprised that he said that would say that. Then all of them looked at me like I was insane. " Why did you want me to come here?" I wondered out loud.
"Well, Esme was wondering whether you wanted to join our family." I ran out, my head spinning. It felt like my world was falling apart at the seams, like everything I so painstakingly put together was crumbling, like shortbread in my hands. I felt numb, I had never had a family before. They would hate me, I knew it. I was different, a soul-sucking monster.
