I woke up the next morning to the clouds and rain. Well, guess the angels are giving me weather based on my mood. I turned to my alarm clock to see that it was 10:30.
Crap! It was way past the time that school had started. This was unlike my family to just let me sleep in so I assume they are giving me a day off. Last night was awful.
Memories from last night flashed into my head. Just thinking about last night threatened the tears to start again. I knew Rosalie didn't mean to hurt me, but I always felt helpless. I mean they have super human powers for crying out loud.
My stomach then decided to interrupt my misery by growling. Time to get up I guess.
I get up and walk out of my room towards the kitchen to get some food. I'm still down in the dumps that I don't realize that I'm not alone.
"Well what do you know. Sleeping Beauty has finally graced us with her presence."
Wait, I know that voice. With my eyes widened, my head flies straight to the two people standing down the steps below me. Two people that I haven't seen in years.
"Aunt Charlotte!" I immediately raced down the stairs and launched myself into her arms. Her tinkling laugh instantly reaches my ears. When I was a child, I used to call her tinker bell because of her laugh.
"Yea good to see you too by the way." I laugh while looking at Peter. I engulfed him into a hug once I was done with Charlotte.
"Oh you have grown up so much since we've last seen you." I smile into Peter's arms. I was always close to them. Both of them were honestly as protective as Rosalie was. Charlotte even threw a fit when I fell over a tree root when I was 10.
"What are you two doing here? I haven't seen you guys in what 4 years?" They both smiled at me and it hit me why they were here.
"Alice called." I took a step back and just let out a long breath.
"Well, yes but we were planning on seeing you already. We were actually coming in a couple of weeks but Alice called so we changed it to today."
"So the reason why I'm not at school..."
Charlotte smiled at me. "They wanted you to have some rest. Jasper and Alice also wanted us to be here and talk to you. They thought it would be best to give us some time alone with you."
I nodded. That made a lot of sense. "What all did they tell you?" I turned around and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a bowl and box of cereal while I was there.
"Everything unfortunately." Grumbled Charlotte. Stopping from opening the box I looked up to see a scowl on Charlotte's face. That's when Peter chuckled.
"Charlotte over here wanted to kill Rosalie for what she said to you." I smiled sadly at that. Charlotte always was over protective. Sometimes more than Rosalie ever was. "You know she didn't mean it."
I let out a breath and ran a hand through my hair. "I know, but I feel partly responsible for the situation that we are all in." After pouring the cereal and milk into my bowl, I walk and sit at the table. Peter takes the seat next to me while Charlotte stands behind me.
"What situation are you talking about? The Edward and his creepy human obsession situation?" I couldn't help but to laugh at that.
"It is a creepy obsession but no." I then proceeded to tell them all about the werewolves and my fear of the Volturi coming after us. "So we all get killed no matter what we decide."
"I always diskliked those red cloaks. Think they are all high and mighty powerful beings." A faint smile reached my face at everything Peter was saying.
"They do know how to scare you." I responded.
"Yea, that's why they think they are in charge. Be glad you haven't met the Romanians."
"Are they that bad?"
"Not really. Their anger and want of revenge is what makes them frightening."
Charlotte came over and knelt by my side. Honey, you have nothing to fear. Yes, your predicament isn't the best but we will just deal with it when the time comes. Let's not dwell on it now, enjoy your life at the moment." She tucks some hair behind my ear when I start to smile.
"We?" Her tinkling laugh greeted my word.
"Yes we. We are family after all."
The rest of the day consisted of Peter and Charlotte telling me of their adventures over the past four years. I have never laughed this hard after hearing all about Peter's antics.
"Honestly woman, you make that sound like it's a crime."
"Well I'm certainly positive that it is a crime to hijack a car and run it into a field full of cows."
"Well that's something that I've always wanted to see." My head lifts up as Jasper enters through the door. Schools over I guess.
"Hey, I wasn't caught." My smile and laughter died a little once Rosalie walked through the door. She wore a face of guilt and I knew how sorry she was. I really didn't want to tak to her at the moment but I knew that it needed to happen.
"Can we talk?"
Sighing I nodded my head and followed her outside to the porch.
"Sophie, you don't know how sorry I feel about last night. I shouldn't have said what I did."
"It's fine Rose. You were right, we are a danger."
"No, I wasn't right. I was angry about Bella that I didn't think that I was hurting you as well. We love you, your as much part of this family as we are. You don't know how much joy you've given us over these years. You honestly make me feel human."
"Is that why you adopted me? So that you could feel more human?"
"No, that's not why. When I found you in that car, I immediately felt this connection to you. A motherly bond I guess you can say. I am never going to be able to have children of my own, but when I found you...I felt at peace. It broke my heart seeing you in that hospital and I almost died when you went to that foster house. I knew right then that we needed you because you are a joy to all of us. You have filled a void that's been in all of our unbeating hearts. We all love you Sophie, never forget that."
I bet I was a sight for sore eyes. Because of the tears that were streaming down my face. "You mean it?"
"Of course I do. I love you." I engulfed Rosalie into a hug and just sobbed. Not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. I never felt this much love before and I didn't want to leave it any time soon. Which made me want to forget about what would happen if that angel lady took me back to my real world.
I hope you guys liked the chapter. I'm happy I was able to update so soon. I always wanted to bring Peter and Charlotte into this story before Breaking Dawn. I felt like this was a good place for them to come in so that they can talk with Sophie. I have been wondering, but who do you think Sophie should end up with? She is going to have a love interest and I have an idea but I want to hear what your thoughts are. Next chapter is when Bella meets all of the Cullen's. Until next time!
