Edward pov

She sat there looking at me with these incredible gold eyes that seemed to pierce me straight to the soul and what she said was truer than I would like to admit. Shaking of the weird feeling she knew more than she was letting on I said "you sure you're not related to us you share some of the same resemblance to us too you know"

Snorting she said "you know it is distinctly possible that we could be related, I'm adopted"

Raising an eyebrow I replied "and you don't know anything about your birth parents?" She shook her head sending her mahogany coloured hair tumbling around her heart shaped face. I tried to get a read on her thoughts but all I could hear was static frowning I tried to fish for information "Oh nothing at all, not even some vague idea of your heritage?"

Now a frown had appeared on her face and her eyes were no longer warm like honey now they were as cold as the metal they resembled. "No, I don't! I was abandoned as a baby and my earliest memories are of Charlie and Rene as my parents"

Startled by her prickly response I backed up a step holding up my hands I said "I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry I was just curious I'm actually adopted too despite the resemblance between me and Carlisle we aren't actually related"

Now she looked curious "really? You're adopted too?"

Nodding I glanced at Charlie and noted the slight increase in his heart rate, "I think he might wake up soon"

She glanced over at Charlie and warmth filled her expression as she replied "you think so?"

smiling I said "yeah" it still bugged me that I couldn't read her thoughts but I was slightly comforted by the fact that Alice couldn't see her meaning it was something about her voiding our gifts rather than our gifts no longer working as I could still hear the thoughts of the other hospital staff members. I was pulled from my musing by Charlie shifting in the bed slightly and letting out a slight groan.

The girl whose name I still didn't know turned to face Charlie and immediately started fussing over him. Smiling I said "I'm gonna go tell Carlisle that Charlie's awake" the girl barley glanced at me to nod before returning all her focus to Charlie.

Bella pov

The copper haired guy left and as he did I realised I didn't know his name, and that these was definitely something up with these Cullen's. The guy claimed he was adopted and yet he and Dr. Cullen both shared the same eyes, like mine. I was almost willing to bet that they might know something about what I was as they seemed oddly interested in me and my life.

Shaking my head I refocused on Charlie he was looking around in confusion and panic until he saw me and then he relaxed slightly and said "hey bells what happened, I remembered the you going to get the door and then nothing"

Breathing deeply I said "dad you had a heart attack, your heart stopped. We called an ambulance and they brought us here and Dr. Cullen is going to do some scan to see what caused the heart attack as at the moment we don't know.

He looked startled and then frowned "damn didn't think all those TV dinners would have such an effect."

I snorted "ah jeez, you know I'm just so glad you're okay"

He smiled at me and said "me too kido. Me too"

A knock at the door startled us out of our peaceful moment, turning I saw Dr. Cullen at the door "what's up?" I asked unsure why the Dr. was standing outside Charlie's room.

Smiling he replied "I've scheduled Charlie's scans and the first is in a few moments, I asked my son to introduce himself so he could keep you company while Charlie is having his scans." I frowned and was about to decline his offer when he said "I'm sure Charlie would prefer it if you had company, just to make sure you're okay" now I was scowling he just had to find the point I wouldn't argue against.

"Fine"

"Excellent, Edward why don't you keep miss swan here company while I take Charlie for his scans"

Frowning I said "its Bella not 'miss swan' thank you"

"Of course, my apologies. Edward if you would kindly keep Bella occupied I will be off, thank you" Edward entered the room and stood next to me as Dr. Cullen wheeled Charlie out of the room.

"Well what do you want to do now?" Edward asked

"I don't know, what is there to do in a hospital to keep a person occupied?"

"Uh not much really, we could play 20 questions"

curios about what was so off about these Cullen's that it set my alarm bells off, i was all for a game where I could find out something interesting. Smirking I said "sure" I fought not to laugh at the expression on Edwards face; he looked like he was beginning to regret this decision and we hadn't even started yet "you want to go first?"

"Yeah thanks. So how old are you?"

i blinked "don't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age?"

Edward ducked his head and muttered a quiet "sorry"

Snorting I said "good thing I'm not a lady then. I'm 17 by the way and now it's my turn." Frowning I tried to come up with a good question "okay do you like the woods?"

Edward looked surprised for a moment and then laughed slightly "yeah, I do. Um what do you do on the weekend?"

Smirking I said "usually run, I particularly enjoy running in the woods; the trees make things more interesting. What about you?"

Smiling Edward replied "some of my various hobbies one of which is hiking in the woods, I would also suggest that you don't go too deep into the woods as there are dangerous animals in there. Do you like music?"

raising an eyebrow I said "yeah but you would probably not like my type of music and will more than likely be surprised. Do you like art?"

"I sketch sometimes but not much my mother Esme is the one you would want to see if you like art. What kind of music do you like?"

Flushing I glanced away "classical, like Debussy. What is your favourite food?"

Edward frowned and said "uh pizza, and do you really like Debussy?"

i frowned slightly he was lying about liking pizza "yes I do and why did you lie about liking pizza?"

"Huh I like Debussy too I have a classical music album in my car and Debussy is one of my favourites and I uh... I don't really have a favourite food. What about you, what is your favourite food?"

the image of a deer popped into my head, I love hunting when in animal form and deer was my favoured meal but i couldn't say that to him so i thought quickly and said "ice-cream" after all everyone loved ice-cream. Now for my question thinking hard i said "do you like sport?"

wrinkling his nose slightly Edward replied "not really, not unless I'm participating" frowning in concentration he seemed to be thinking about something very hard "what is your favourite..." he continued to think, looking almost constipated i was about to tell him so when he said "animal?" looking oh so triumphant.

a broad grin stretched across my face and i answered without really thinking "mountain lion" an image of me in my mountain lion form popped into my head, with my thick tan fur contrasting nicely against the black edging on my ears, i was large too, at least about two foot taller than the largest recorded sighting of a mountain lion, and i was pretty damn awesome even if i did say so myself. i was jerked from my thoughts by Edwards stomach butterfly inducing laughter, frowning i tried to figure out what was so damn hysterical and why i had missed it i loved an opportunity to laugh.

Choking slightly he sat up slightly not even remotely winded from laughing so hard and managed to choke out "oh the irony" before descending into laughter

Raising both eyebrows i cleared my throat and said "care to explain this reaction" i worded such that i hadn't asked a question so i still had my go after he explained himself.

shaking his head he just said "the fact your favourite animal is one my families favourite things too..." he caught himself looking startled before shaking his head and saying "never mind it was just i found your animal choice ironic is all, now i believe it is my turn as you just asked your question" grinning and looking oh so smug.

Snorting i said "i didn't ask a question i just suggested that you should and you did so i have yet to ask a question I'm afraid"

Frowning he looked like he was about to argue when he seemed to run the sentence back through his mind and realised i didn't really ask him to explain just suggested he did. Scowling he said "fine it's your turn then"

smirking at him i opened my mouth to ask whether he had any siblings when the door crashed open and a huge bear of a man came barrelling into the room, shouting "hey eddy boy we heard you were babysitting the new girl and decided we were gonna drop by to say hello" when he saw me he grinned wider if that was possible and shouted so loud my ears rang "HELLO!"

I cringed back one hand rising to cradle the side of my head "ow, volume check please"

He looked startled and then said "i like her she has spark, and sass" his volume was drastically lower this time

Rolling my eyes heavenward i said "gee thanks and by the way who the hell are you?"

ginning he held his hand out to me and said "my name is Emmet Cullen, eddy boy's brother"

i blinked "okay, why did you feel the need to meet me again?"

rolling his eyes he said "cos your new and sounded interesting when Carlisle described you to Edward here when he asked you to keep you 'entertained'" the way he said 'entertained' suggested he thought something else was going on here.

oh well two could play this game grinning to myself i put on my best pouty face and spoke softly and seductive "aw how sweet and Edward here has been keeping me very well 'entertained' but i wonder if the both of you would be even better at the job than just one, care to join us" i ended with a slow seductive smile looking up at Emmet through my lashes. i had to fight so hard not to piss myself laughing at his expression, it had gone from smug to shocked and uncomfortable almost instantly. Just then a blond entered the room looking beyond pissed, at me. jeez what had i done now?

Edward stiffened and said "Rosalie no, don't..."

Before he could say more she had reached us and she said "would you like to explain to me why you are suggesting what you just suggested to my mate?"

"Mate?" what the hell is she that protective over her friend and why she make it seem like they were together but use that word?

Growling at me she ground out "i meant boyfriend"

Snorting i rolled my eyes wondering what the hell it was with people and growling at me today before replying "whatever jeeze lighten up Blondie, i was teaching Emmet here a lesson about not implying things he shouldn't to people who can do it so much better..."

"Hey" i shot Emmet a dirty look for interrupting and continued

"Anyway my point was i didn't mean anything by it and I'm sorry if you thought i was being serious, but jeez who would say something like and not be joking?"

snarling she lunged for me at incredible speed i froze, i had two options a) let her knock hit me and possibly hurt her hand or b) show them my incredible speed and move out of the way. In the end i tried to do a bit of both. Moving impossibly fast i lent slightly to the left allowing most her momentum to carry her over me but she still clipped me, and i was shocked at the force behind it. flowing with the force i ended up doing a little back flip and landing lightly on my feet, straightening i watched the others with trepidation. How would they react?

Rosalie pov

I gained my feet fluidly and turned to gaze at the girl who was completely unscathed and crouched in a stance similar to a hunting stance she stood and faced me in a single movement which looked almost like a choreographed dance move, she watched me with those glowing amber eyes... wait glowing eyes? blinking i frowned when they only seemed to glow brighter as i watched her i swear i saw her lip twitch and not in an about to smile way more like an animal about to growl at someone. My gaze broke from hers to look at my mate who was silently apologising for causing this with his eyes.

Pointing at her i said "what was that?"

She blinked hard and her eyes returned to their natural gold colour, when she spoke her voice was cold "i don't know what your talking about, unless of course you would like to explain how you moved so fast?" at the end she was stood arms crossed hip cocked and expression daring me to say something.

Scowling i stalked from the room and turned left tracking Carlisle down so i could explain to him that there was something wrong with that girls and she was a threat to us and need to leave or be dealt with.

Carlisle was down by the scan room when i found him, pulling him to one side i gave him a quick rundown of what happened. When i finished i got a reaction i was not expecting. "Rosalie, you need to learn to control your temper you have put us all at risk by exposing us to this girl, she now knows something is different about us. You need to be more careful around humans..."

"Carlisle are you not hearing what I'm saying to you she is not human, if she was there is no way she could move that fast or elegantly for that matter, she has to be one of us in disguise or something"

Carlisle frowned and said "either way you need to learn some restraint you only noticed her inhuman qualities after you attacked her which would have been to late had she been human or normal"

Frowning i could see his point but she had been flirting with my mate and in my mind i should go back and finish the job because Emmet was mine and i didn't care if she had been joking or not, no one hit on my mate and got away with it. Letting out a low growl i turned and flounced away needing some space and some time to decide if i was actually gonna do anything about this girl.

Bella pov

After Rosalie stalked of there was an awkward silence till i asked "any other girlfriends, or siblings i should know about?"

Edward snorted slightly and said "well technically she is both"

I froze "oh EW!"

"Not like that! And we are all adopted so none of my siblings are actually related. I also have another brother, jasper and another sister, Alice and they are together also."

Frowning i rubbed my head and was about to respond when Dr Cullen wheeled my dad into to the room, leaping up i bounded over to the bed and quickly scanned over Charlie's propped up form. Smiling up at me he said "hey kido did Edward keep you entertained?"

The second the words left his mouth i wanted to face palm so badly as i knew exactly what was about to happen and sure enough mere seconds later Emmet's muffled laughter could be heard till suddenly the volume increased till it was nearly deafening. Charlie looked at me bewildered "what is so funny?"

Emmet was still laughing too hard to answer so i answered for him, "Inside joke, I'll explain it to you when we get home"

Several hours later after more cringe worthy moments were Emmet's sense of humour was displayed, me and Charlie were finally home it turned out that Charlie's heart attack was due to not eating healthy enough but fortunately now that i was here we would be eating home cooked meals each day as i could actually cook unlike my dad.

Flopping down onto the couch i watched Charlie out of the corner of my eye making sure he was okay, before lifting the remote and switching on the TV and turning it onto the sport channel.

"your going to school tomorrow right Bella?"

Frowning i considered his question, i should but i didn't want to leave him here alone in case he had another heart attack and i wasn't here to help, but i was supposed to be starting school tomorrow. "maybe if i can get someone to stay with you to make sure your okay, i will but who should i call... oh what about the Clearwater's that way sue can make sure you eat properly too. I'm gonna go call them now and ask." Jumping up i darted into the kitchen and lifted the phone dialling the number on the board above the phone marked as the Clearwater's number.

The phone rang three times before it was picked up by a guy, "hello?"

"Hey is this the Clearwater's?"

"Yeah."

"oh good it Bella swan here and i was wandering if sue and harry could come and Charlie sit for me he had a heart attack today and i have school tomorrow but i don't want to leave him on his own and he needs to eat healthy"

The guy was slow to respond before i heard him yell "mom"

There was some shuffling and some muffled voices and then a new voice came on the line "hello?"

"Hi its Bella swan"

"Oh Bella it's lovely to hear from you but isn't it a bit late shouldn't you be heading to bed you have school tomorrow?"

"yes well, Charlie had a heart attack this evening and i don't want to leave him on his own tomorrow so i was wondering if you would be willing to help me out and stay with him tomorrow and make sure he is okay and eats healthy,"

"oh of course that would be fine harry was going to be sat at home watching the games anyway and we can do that from your house that way he can keep Charlie company while i can do some cooking for you so you will have plenty of healthy meals ready if you don't want to cook"

"Oh Sue that sounds wonderful but we don't have anything in the fridge"

"Oh don't worry i will grab supplies on the way"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course i will see you tomorrow bright and early then dear"

"Okay thank you and see you tomorrow"

Hanging up the phone i said "hey Charlie how does watching the game with harry Clearwater tomorrow sound?" when i got no response i panicked and rushed into the living room only to find Charlie slumped on the sofa snoring very softly and fast asleep. Shaking my head i scooped Charlie up bracing him across my back before loping up the stares careful not to jostle him. Nudging open his bedroom door i crossed his room and placed him on his bed, tucking him in i placed a soft kiss on his forehead and smiled sadly at Charlie's sleeping form. "I love you dad" and with that i turned and left the room disappearing into my room and getting ready for bed. I changed into pj's and pulled the curtains after cracking the window open then i settled into the bed. Closing my eyes i listened to the soft sounds of nature. That is until a soft creak from the tree outside my window disrupted the peace.
