Chapter 3:Cursed

Alice's POV

I had my head laying on Jasper's chest. We had been like that for the past 5 hours.

It had been two weeks since we had adopted Karla. Carlisle said that he couldn't find any other member of Karla's family. They were all dead. Jasper and I weren't sure how we would explain something like that to a three year old, so we decided to tell her when she was older.

A couple of days with Karla with us, she spoke more. I had found out that she had barely turned 3, and that her real parents were going to take her to Disney Land. But they never got the chance because they had to move to Forks. When I asked her why they moved she told me that her mother told her that they would have a better life.

When Emmett found out that Karla had never been to an amusement park before, he took it upon himself to take her to one in Portland. I was all for it, but Jasper had hesitated a little. After endless hours of Emmett begging, Jasper finally slowed Emmett to take Karla to Portland only if Jasper went with them.

"I cannot believe I agreed to this," sighed Jasper.

"What's wrong with spending a day with your daughter?" I asked.

"I don't mind being with Karla, it's just that I'm going to have to spend it with Emmett."

"Why don't you ask Edward to go with you guys? Karla would really like that."

"I doubt that he'd want to go to an amusement park with hyper active kids screaming in their head all day, and throwing fits." I laughed at the idea trying to block out all the children's thoughts while trying to act human.

"Mom? Dad?" Karla was awake now. I got off Jasper's chest and he got up too. I grabbed his hand and together we walked towards Karla's room. I remember having so much fun making her room. I painted her walls a Bright Kelly green with blue and pink lillies. She had a walk-in closet and a full length mirror.

I walked in and saw Karla still under the covers with just her eyes poking out from the top.

"Good morning, honey." I kissed the top of her head.

"Are you ready for the amusement park?" Jasper cooed. He looked so adorable when he got that way.

"Yes." Karla spoke in a small voice.

"Then let's get you out of bed so you can go get some breakfast." I saw Karla shake her head no in response. Instead she pulled the covers over her head and I heard her giggle. I smiled and I watched as Jasper approached Karla's bed quietly. :Alice have you seen where Karla went?" I played along.

"No I haven't. I wonder where she could be. She was just here a minute ago and now she's gone like magic." I heard Karla trying to control her giggling.

"Well then I guess we'll just have to leave her here and Emmett and I can go by ourselves." Jasper and I pretended to walk away making sure that she heard our retreating footsteps.

"No!" Karla pulled the covers off and jumped out of bed. "I want to go too. Please can I go daddy," she was pouting. I picked her up.

"Of course you can go with daddy. But only if you eat breakfast first." I kissed her forehead.

"Okay."

"Come on, Esme is already cooking something for you in the kitchen. I think she might be making your favorite." She jumped out of my arms full of excitement.

"Yay! Chocolate chip waffles! Waffles! !Waffles!" she screamed as she ran down the hallway. I laughed along with Jasper and we made our way down stairs to bubbling daughter.

Jasper's POV

My daughter was happy. No. She was ecstatic. I was glad as well that I was going to get the day to spend the day with my adorable daughter, but I was also scared.

As Alice and I descended down the stairs I could feel my daughters excitement. I wasn't sure if it was because she couldn't wait to go to Portland or the fact that she was going to eat chocolate chip waffles.

We walked into the kitchen where Esme stood humming as she mixed the batter. Karla was trying to sit on one of the stool but was having a hard time. I chuckled. I let go of Alice's hand and helped Karla up on the stool. As soon as I sat her down she was jumping up and down on her butt.

Her excitement almost made me want to hop around a little. Then out of no where Emmett popped out and engulfed Karla into his huge arms. He began to twirl around with her just like the night we decided to adopt Karla. I flinched each time he almost bumped into something. I was scared that he was going to hurt her. But Karla seemed to be enjoying herself.

"Don't worry Jasper, Emmett won't hurt Karla. He knows that if he does then Rose won't let them have their usual 'fun' when she comes to visit." I turned around as Edward walked into the kitchen.

Esme had called Rosalie to tell her about Karla. She was very angry at first, but when Esme passed the phone to Karla, Rose melted and excepted the new human into our family.

"Uncle Eddie!" cried out Karla. She escaped from Emmetts' clutches and ran into Edward's already open arms.

"Good morning Munchkin." he kissed her forehead. The nickname didn't seem to bother Karla at all.

"Karla, the waffles are ready." Esme placed a plate of freshly done chocolate chip waffles on the table. Edward placed Karla in her chair.

Alice grabbed Karla a fork, plate, cup, and grabbed the milk from the fridge.

"Can I have chocolate milk instead?" Karla asked as she glared at the white milk before her, then looked up at Alice

"You'll get cavities Karla. You're already eating waffles with chocolate. Do you want to go to the dentist?" Karla shook her head no.

As Karla ate Emmett was getting anxious for some reason. I sat down next to Karla.

"What's the matter Emmett? Why are you nervous?"

"Because Jazz, I don't want the park to close before we get there. Munchkin over here eats like a turtle."

"I'm not a turtle." said Karla, clearly offended by the comment.

"Fine you can be a worm." he said.

"I'm not slimmy."

"Then what do you want to be then?"

"A vampire!" she said with excitement. Everyone stopped what they where doing. Emmett stopped smiling, Esme stopped washing the dishes, and Alice and Edward stopped their conversation. We all stared at Karla.

We hadn't really told her what we were yet, and we didn't want to tell her until she was older. Much older.

Karla looked confused. Then she became frightened.

"Did I do something bad?" Karla was on the verger of tears. As soon as I saw that she was going to start crying I pulled her onto my lap. I nuzzled my head into her hair.

"Shh, no you didn't do anything wrong. It's okay baby. Calm down. You don't have to be afraid." I rubbed her back as I tried to calm her down. I kissed the top of her forehead.

I looked up to see Alice with a loving smile. I sat Karla in her chair again and told her keep eating. Everyone continued with what they were doing before.

Emmett's POV

I was so excited. I couldn't wait to go to Portland. The park that we were planing on going on was call Never Land. At first it sounded like the Peter Pan guy's home. Like the one from the movie. So I Googled it and found out that the theme of the park was based on the movie Peter Pan.

Karla really like that movie. I remembered when we first watched it with Eddie and Jasper.

I was pretending to be one of the Lost Boys, Karla was Tinkerbell, Jasper was Peter Pan, and we forced Edward to be Captain Hook.

Jasper, Karla, and I were pummeling Edward with tube-socks and pillows. He didn't even fight back, so we won easily. But then I reminded Karla that Tinkerbell had the power to make people fly.

So we went into the kitchen and grabbed the flour. Then we sneaked up stairs to Eddies room.

We were very careful not to give anything away and we concentrated on something else. Karla learned to do that the day after she was adopted.

But anyways, when we got in to his room we ripped open the bags of flour and sprinkled it around his room. Karla and I ran around his room screaming 'pixie Dust' at the top of our lungs. Esme was not happy about the mess we made.

I heard Eddie laugh most likely about what I was thinking.

"See Eddie, we had a lot of fun. Why don't you come with us to Never Land?" I asked him. He shook his head no.

"Aw, come on Eddie, please come with us." I whined.

"First of all, stop calling me Eddie. And second, I don't feel like spending a day surrounded by screaming children." he huffed.

"Please uncle Eddie? I want you to come too." Karla begged with her famous pouting lip, that I so graciously taught her.

They were having a staring contest.

"Edward, you're gonna go anyways, so don't bother arguing with her." Alice had a sly smile. Score one for the pixie fairy.

"Pleas, oh, please, oh, please." pleaded Karla.

"Okay, I'll go." he sighed in defeat. This was gonna be awesome!

Karla's POV

I was so happy that my daddy was going to take me to Potland. I imagined a land full of pots. I must've heard it wrong.

After I finished my waffles,I ran upstairs to get my coat. It was actully more if a crawl. I was scared of falling down the stairs.

When I went into my room I grabbed my camera. Then I saw this big scarey shadow in the closet.

"Daddy!" I screamed for him. He was in my room really quickly. I always wondered why he and the rest of my family were so fast.

My daddy picked me up and the shadow began to move. I heard daddy making a weird growling noise and I got a little scared.

"Who are you? What are you?" asked my daddy. The shadow moved out of the closet and on the wall. "Answer me dammit!" My daddy grew angry and he was growling even louder.

The shadow was in the form of a grown man. It raised it's arm up and pointed at me and my daddy.

"Miss Ana." the shadow spoke like he had a sore throat.

"My name's Karla, not Ana. What do you want mister?" I asked him. My daddy looked at like I was crazy. I decided that since the shadow didn't do anything bad to me that I could at least be nice. My old mommy had taught me manners.

The shadow stepped forward and my daddy threw me on his back. He had his arms out and looked like he wanted to hurt the shadow. I couldn't see the shadow's face because it didn't have one.

"Miss, please come with me." pleaded the shadow.

"Like hell she is. You are not going anywhere with my daughter. I'll kill you before you can touch her." my daddy snarled. I wondered why my mom hadn't come up yet. I wondered if she could hear my daddy yelling.

I clung to my daddy's back as the shadow came closer.

Then all of a sudden the back of my neck started hurting really badly. It felt like it was burning.

"Ow! Daddy it burns! Make it stop! Please!" I rubbed the back of my neck and almost fell off. My daddy caught me.

"Karla! What's wrong?!" he asked desperatly.

I looked over and the shadow was gone. Everything was becoming blurry I could feel myself crying. My dad picked me up in his arms.

"Carlisle! Help her!" was tha last thing I heard my daddy say before everything went black.

I guess that I wasn't going to Potland that day.
