Chapter 2
The next day everyone was waiting at the Cullen house again. This time they were waiting on Audrina to arrive. Jasper was pacing, Alice was bouncing, Esme cleaning, Rose and Emmett where trying to get Jasper to sit down and Edward was playing piano for Bella to calm both their nerves. Having the Volturi this close to Bella was making him nervous, even if they did say they wouldn't force him to change her now.
"They're coming. Outside everyone." Alice called and they all slowly filed out of the house and stood at the bottom of the steps in a line watching as a black limo pulled up and stopped.
The driver and Passenger door opened and Bella gasp as the largest Vampire she ever saw stepped out of the passenger seat and came to stand in front of them along with a much short vampire. Both with red eyes.
"Carlisle." the larger one greeted shaking hands.
"Felix, Demetri. It's good to see you again." Carlisle said and they nodded.
"You as well." the large one named Felix replied. Bella was holding tight to Edward. She was scared of this larger Vampire.
"We have brought Audrina as Aro said we would but we just wanted to insure that you will keep her safe. She can be quite a handful sometimes." Felix said while Demetri laughed.
"We will make sure she's safe, if I can handle this bunch then she will be no problems." Carlisle said and Emmett and the others snorted, rolling there golden eyes.
"Anything she needs or wants will be covered by the Volturi. She was given a credit card to use even if she put up a fight about it. Also Caius has ordered a car for her that will be delivered soon. No doubt it will be expensive and she will have a fit. She hates when people spend money on her. Just done tell her ahead of time. I cannot wait for that phone call when she rips into Caius." Felix whispered rolling his eyes and the Cullen's couldn't help but laugh.
"Well then I'll fetch her." Felix said and walked over towards the back of the limo and opened the door. Two other Vampires exited first. Jane and Alec that Carlisle recognized and Felix held his hand out for the last person to exit.
They watched as a pale hand closed around his and he helped her out of the car. Jasper gaps softly at how beautiful she was, even for a human.
She was about 5'5, pale with long hair that was dark brown with blonde streaks and ended at her waist. Her body was fit and her legs seemed to go on for miles. She was wearing jeans, a black shirt and a hoodie and her eyes seemed to be hazel green and was wearing the Volturi Crest around her neck. Jasper heard Emmett give a low whistle and he growled at him in warning. Jasper could feel from his family that they all thought her beautiful, even Rose who normally would have been jealous but for some reason she wasn't, maybe because she could sympathize with the abuse Audrina went through as Rose went through some of her own as well.
They all walked over towards the Cullen's with Jane and Felix standing close to Audrina.
"This is Audrina, Kitten these are the Cullen's." Felix told her and she elbowed him in the stomach rolling her eyes at him. To the surprise of the Cullen's Felix grunted and held his side that she had hit. For a human she shouldn't have been able to hurt him at all. This girl was full of surprises it seems.
"Nice to meet you all." Audrina said in an Italian/slightly British accent that Jasper loved.
Alice bounced over towards her quickly but was dropped to the ground and yelped in pain as Jane acted quickly to protect Audrina. The Cullen's tensed but was surprised when Audrina put a hand on Jane's shoulder and stopped her from inflicting anymore pain.
"Honestly, Jane. That was un called for. I'm to be living here and I think they'd like to introduce themselves without the fear of your wrath." Audrina told her and Jane nodded.
"Sorry. Reaction." Jane mumbled and Audrina rolled her eyes and bent to help Alice stand.
"Sorry about that. Jane's a great person once you get to know her. She's just a little over protective of me. Are you hurt?" Audrina ask her and Alice shook her head no.
"It's fine. I understand I shouldn't have acted too quickly. I tend to be slightly hyper active." Alice said and Emmett snorted and Alice flipped him off causing Esme to tsk.
"I'm Alice by the way." Alice said shaking Audrina's hand.
"The future seer right?" Audrina ask and Alice nodded, smiling.
"Nice to meet you." Audrina said then gasp when Alice hugged her quickly before bouncing back over to stand next to her family.
"You must be Carlisle." Audrina said to the blonde coven leader. He nodded and shook her hand.
"Yes, how did you know?" he ask and she smiled.
"I recognized you from the picture in Volturi." she said and he nodded.
"This is my wife Esme and the rest of our family. Rosalie and her Mate Emmett. Edward and his mate Bella and Jasper." Carlisle pointed them out and they each shook her hand. Audrina's breath hitched when she locked eyes with Jasper. He was by far the most beautiful man she had ever met. And when their hands touched, electricity seemed to shoot into their hands. Blushing she cleared her throat and turned back towards her escorts.
"Well guys. I guess this is it." Audrina said and the Cullen's could hear the sadness in her voice. They knew she would miss them greatly.
"Give us a hug kitten." Felix said and she smiled before walking over and hugging Demetri who ruffled her hair causing her to laugh.
"Remember if anything happens I can find you anywhere." Demetri told her and she nodded before hugging Alec.
"Call us soon, teacup." Alec told her and she rolled her eyes at the nickname he picked up from watching True Blood with Audrina.
"Don't take any shit from anyone Audy. And call me if you need me to drop someone for you." Jane told her giving her a tight hug and patting her head. Audrina nodded biting back tears at all the good byes. She had already balled her eyes out that morning when she left Italy and said bye to her uncles. This was just as hard.
"Give them as much hell as you give us. And keep in touch. Lord knows I'm going to be bored with no one to guard anymore." Felix told her and she snorted in laughter.
Jasper tensed when Felix picked her up but a smack from Alice stopped him from doing anything as Felix spun Audrina around before sitting her back down. Demetri and Alec had un loaded all her bags and sat them on the porch while she said her goodbyes.
"Don't let any humans boys touch you sugar." Felix said and she nodded.
"I won't. I call you all later. Love you." Audrina said tears falling down her face. Jane wiped them away and kissed her forehead.
"If you ever want to come home just call and will come right back and get you. And if you need anything, anything at all. Just let us know." Jane reminded and Audrina nodded and watched them wave bye once more before getting in the limo and driving off.
The Cullen's watched her watch the car drive completely away before she sighed, wiped her eyes and turned back towards them
"Well, let's get you inside dear and settled in." Esme said moving into mother mode. Audrina nodded and bent down and started gathering her bags when a pale hand stopped her. Looking up she saw Jasper standing next to her.
"Let us help darlin. You've had a long trip." He said and she nodded and the others all helped carry her things inside. The guys all ran the bags up to her new room while Esme started giving her the grand tour.
Audrina was in awe with the Cullen house. It wasn't as large as the Volturi castle but it was very homey and warm. She really liked it.
"Your home is lovely." Audrina told Esme as they walked up the stairs towards her new room. Esme gave her a big smile and patted her hand.
"Thank you dear. And it's your home too." Esme said and Audrina just nodded. They stopped and Esme opened the door to her room which she could see was right across the hall from Jasper's room. He was sitting in his room reading a book and glancing at her from time to time as Esme showed her things in the room.
Her room was large and one wall was solid glass windows that Audrina loved. She didn't like closed spaces much since her capture and the room was very open and welcoming.
A lot like the tower she had to herself in Volturi.
The bed was large with black silk comforter and sheets. There was a desk and large closet as well as dark cherry wood furniture.
"I love it. Thank you." Audrina told the mother of the house. She smiled and nodded.
"I'm so glad. I'll leave you to un pack. Just call if you need anything. I'll go down and start dinner for you and Bella." Esme said and speed out of the room before Audrina could say anything else.
Smiling and shaking her head she began moving around the room opening all her bags and pulling clothes out to hang up and put in the drawers.
Jasper watched from his room as she moved gracefully around the room unpacking. He couldn't help but stare, she was very lovely.
His eyes widened when she opened a large bag full of books and waved her hand and the book flew out of her bag and arranged themselves on the shelf above her desk.
"Whoa." Jasper whispered to himself. She really was powerful.
He stayed watching as she made things move around the room as if it was nothing and couldn't wait to see everything else she could do. If she was already this good at her power now then Aro was right. She'd be a very powerful Vampire.
"Dinner's ready for the humans." Emmett yelled up the stairs and Audrina laughed at him. He reminded her of Felix a lot.
Audrina went down the stairs and was aware of Jasper following behind her. She knew he had been watching her un pack and was secretly glad that her mate was taking an interest in her. She couldn't wait to get to know him better.
Coming into the kitchen she saw a ton of food laid out on the table and the other human in the house Bella, staring at it with wide eyes.
"Wow. You made enough to feed a small army Mrs. Cullen." she said as she sat down and Esme smiled.
"It's Esme dear and I do seem to make more than needed. It's hard for me to tell how much Humans need to eat, but oh well." She replied with a warm smile and Audrina couldn't help but smile back. She really was a nice woman.
Edward sat next to Bella and watched her eat and Audrina had to stop from laughing at how hopelessly in love he was with the human. It was really sweet to see.
"Did you finish unpacking, Audrina." Alice ask her plopping gracefully into the empty chair next to her. Audrina nodded as she swallowed.
"I did thanks. It didn't take that long at all." She replied and Alice nodded. Audrina was aware that everyone was the in kitchen all trying to watch her and get to know her. It made her slightly nervous but she knew they were all probably curious about her.
Bella noticed Audrina's slightly uncomfortable posture and knew how she felt. She got that way when she came over too and was watched by the Vampires. Leaning over she tapped Audrina on the hand and whispered.
"You get use to the staring after a while so don't worry. It's just the way they are." She told her and Audrina chuckled and nodded.
"Do we make you un comfortable dear?" Esme ask frowning at her nosy family. She was the only one not blankly staring like idiots as she cleaned the kitchen.
"No its fine, honestly. I'm used to it. I got it a lot in Volturi when I first arrive and still I'm never alone and there always asking question about why I do things a certain way and such. They find my human moments highly entertaining." Audrina told them and they nodded.
"What was it like. Living with the Volturi?" Edward asked the question that was in everyone minds but they didn't want to appear nosy.
"It was great. I loved it there. They were never mean to me or treated me as lesser than them, even when they only wanted me there to be a part of their guard but they still kept their distance at first, but I quickly softened them up as you saw when they were here dropping me off." She replied and they all nodded, still awed at the change in Vampire royalty.
"Why did Alec call you teacup?" Alice ask and Audrina chuckled.
"One of my favorite shows to watch is True Blood and I make them all watch it with me every week. They got the nickname from there. The scene where Eric calls the two children teacup humans. They thought it fit me well since I'm much small then almost all of them. Really, there a bunch of retards at times." She explained and the Cullen's laughed as well at the humor in a bunch of human drinking Vampires watching true blood with a human. Is was insane.
After that Bella and Audrina talked a little more before Edward took her home and Audrina wondered into the living room and watched as Emmett and Jasper played some fighting game on Xbox.
"Do all Vampires like video games?" she asked after Jasper won the last matched and Emmett started cursing. The others in the family excluding Edward were sitting around doing other things like reading or painting there nails in Rose and Alice's case.
"I'm not sure why?" Jasper ask her.
"They play them a lot in Volturi. Felix, Demetri and Alec the most. They taught me how to play some and they always got competitive with each other the way you two seem to be. I just wondered is all." She replied and the Cullen's found there opinions on the Volturi changing drastically every time this human opened her mouth.
They talked with her a little more that night and learned things she likes. She loves to read and write and loves movies. She can cuss and verbally spare with the best of them, something Emmett loved and spent the night testing that ability. Jasper found they had a lot in common as far as what they like to do for fun and Alice and Rose was happy to have another person to shop with. Bella hated shopping but Audrina like it just not as much as Rose and Alice did but they planned to change that.
She called the Volturi before she went to bed just to insure everyone there that she was fine and enjoying everything in America so far and promised to call at least once a day to ease there worry.
She went to bed that night content that she was going to really like living with the Cullen's and was glad to made the choice to come.
