TWILIGHT - chapter 15 - THE CULLENS


"So what was Carlisle telling 당신 before?"
His eyebrows pulled together. "You noticed that, did you?"
I shrugged. "Of course."
He looked at me thoughtfully for a few 초 before answering. "He wanted to tell me some news - he didn't know if it was something I would share with you."
"Will you?"
"I have to, because I'm going to be a little... overbearingly protective over the 다음 few days - 또는 weeks - and I wouldn't want 당신 to think I'm naturally a tyrant."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, exactly. Alice just sees some visitors coming soon. They know we're here, and they're curious."
"Visitors?"
"Yes... wel, they aren't like us, of course - in their hunting habits, I mean. They probably won't come into town at all, but I'm certainly not going to let 당신 out of my sight till they're gone."
I shivered.
"Finally, a rational response!" he murmured. "I was beginning to think 당신 had no sense of self-preservation at all."
I let that one pass, looking away, my eyes wandering again around the spacious room.
He followed my gaze. "Not what 당신 expected, is it?" he asked, his voice smug.
"No," I admitted.
"No coffins, no piled skulls in the corner; I don't even think we have cobwebs... what a disappointment this must be for you," he continued slyly.
I ignored his teasing. "It's so light... so open."
He was 더 많이 serious when he answered. "It's the one place we never have to hide."
The song he was still playing, my song, drifted to an end, the final chords shifting to a 더 많이 melancholy key. The last note hovered poignantly in the silence.
"Thank you," I murmured. I realized there were tears in my eyes. I dabbed them, embarrassed.
He touched he corner of my eye, tapping one I missed. He lifted his finger, examining the drop of moisture broodingly. Then, so quickly I couldn't be positive that he really did, he put his finger to his mouth to taste it.
I looked at his questioningly, and he gazed back for a long moment before he finally smiled.
"Do 당신 want to see the rest of the house?"
"No coffins?" I verified, the sarcasm in my voice not entirely masking the slight but genuine anxiety I felt.
He laughed, taking my hand, leading me away from the piano.
"No coffins," he promised.
We walked up the massive staircase, my hand trailing along the satin-smooth rail. The long hall at the 상단, 맨 위로 of the stairs was paneled with a honey-colored wood, the same as the florboards.
"Rosalie and Emmett's room... Carlisle's office... Alice's room..." He gestured as he led me past the doors.
He would have continued, but I stopped dead at the end of the hall, staring incredulously at the ornament hanging on the 벽 above my head. Edward chuckled at my bewildered expression.
"You can laugh," he said. "It is sort of ironic."
I didn't laught. My hand raised automatically, one finger extended as if to touch the large wooden cross, it's dark patina contrasting with the lighter tone of the wall. I didn't touch it, though I was curious if the aged wood would feel as silky as it looked.
"It must be very old," I guessed.
He shrugged. "Early sixteen-thirties, 더 많이 또는 less."
I looked away from the 십자가, 크로스 to stare at him.
"Why do 당신 keep this here?" I wondered.
"Nostalgia. It belonged to Carlisle's father."
"He collected antiques?" I suggested doubtfully.
"No. He carved this himself. It hung on the 벽 above the pulpit in the vicarage where he preached."
I wasn't sure if my face betrayed my shock, but I returned to gazing at the simple, ancient cross, just in case. I quickly did the mental math; the 십자가, 크로스 was over three hundred and seventy years old. The silence stretched on as I struggled to 덮개, 랩 my mind around the concept of so many years.
"Are 당신 all right?" He sounded worried.
"How old is Carlisle?" I asked quietly, ignoring his question, still staring up.
"He just celebrated his three hundred and sixy-second birthday," Edward said. I looked back at him, a million 질문 in my eyes.
He watched me carefully as he spoke.
"Carlisle was born in London, in the sixteen-forties, he belives. Time wasn't marked as accurately then, for the common people anyway. It was just before Cromwell's rule, though."
I kept my face composed, aware of his scrutiny as I listened. It was easier if I didn't try to believe.
"He was the only son of an Anglican pastor. His mother died giving birth to him. His father was an intolerant man. As the Protestants came into power, he was enthusiastic in his presecution of Roman Catholics and other religions. He also believed very strongly on the reality of evil. He led hunts for witches, werewolves... and vampires." I grew very still at the word. I'm sure he noticed, but he went on without pausing.
"The burned a lot of innocent people - 또는 course the real creatures that he sought were not so easy to catch.
"When the pastor grew old, he placed his obedient son in charge of the raids. At first Carlisle was a diappointment; he was not quick to accuse, to see demons where they did not exists. But he was persistent, and 더 많이 clever than his father. He actually discovered a coven of true 뱀파이어 that lived hidden in the sewers of the city, only coming out 의해 night to hunt. In those days, that was the way many lived.
"The people gathered their pitchforks and torches, of course" - his brief laugh was darker now - "and waited where Carlisle had seen the monsters exit into the street. Eventually one emerged."
His voice was very quiet; I strained to catch the words.
"He must have been ancient, and weak with hunger. Carlisle heard him call out in Latin to the others when he caught the scent of the mob. He ran through the streets, and Carlisle - he was twenty-three and very fast - was in the lead of the pursuit. The creature could have easily outrun them, but Carlisle thinks he was too hungry, so he turned and attacked. He fell on Carlisle first, but the others were close behind, and he turned to defend himself. He killed two men, and made off with a third, leaving Carlisle bleeding in the street."
He paused. I could sense he was editing something, keeping something from me.
"Carlisle knew what his father would do. The bodies would be burned - anything infected 의해 the monster must be destroyed. Carlisle acted instictively to save his own life. He crawled away from the alley while the mob followed the fiend and his victim. He his in a cellar, buried himself in rotting potatoes for three days. It was a miracle he was able to keep silent, to stay undiscovered.
"It was over then, and he realized what he had become."
I'm not sure what my face was revealing, but he suddenly broke off.
"How are 당신 feeling?" he asked.
"I'm fine," I assured him. And, though I bit my lip in hesitation, he must have seen the curiosity burning in my eyes.
He smiled. "I expect 당신 have a few 더 많이 질문 for me."
"A few."
His smile widened over his brilliant teeth. He started back down the hall, pulling me along 의해 the hand. "Come on, then," he encouraged. "I'll show you."

This is a sequel to "When The Stars Align" I hope 당신 like it.☺☺☺

I lay in the bed, waiting for Tala to burst through my door and "wake" me up. I sighed, wishing that Seth was here with us, but he couldn't be, he was dead. I started to get up to see why she wasn't up yet. I peeked into her room, she was still asleep.
"Wake up Sunshine" I whispered in her ear. She opened her eyes and smiled.
"Morin' Mommy" She said and got out of bed. She went into the 부엌, 주방 and sat in her chair.
"What do 당신 want for breakfast?" I asked her.
"PANCAKES!" She yelled and smiled. She looked so much like Seth...

Charlie had left 의해 the time I got up the 다음 morning; he was fishing with Billy again, and probably wouldn't be back until late. I did the homework that had to be done 의해 Monday and cleaned the house, but it was still barely noon 의해 the time I had finished. Edward hadn't said when he would call, so when the phone rang a few 분 later, I almost fell down the stairs in my hurry to get to it.

"Hi honey!"

I let out a slightly disappointed sigh; mom.

When we got back to the hotel , it was about 3:00 so I decided to take a shower. I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I realized I needed a ponytail holder ,but it was in my bag. I took the towel and wrapped around me and stepped out. Seth wasn't in here so I hurried and grabbed one before he came back.
I went back into the bathroom and turned on the water. I heard a door open and close and saw Seth standing there. I looked at him as he began to take his 셔츠 off. I looked at him like he was going crazy. He looked at me and smiled.
"We don't want to waste water" He said as he took...

I got ready for school the 다음 day, as I walked out the house. I saw Danny standing in my yard. I looked down the 거리 and saw Seth standing there. Iran up to Danny and jumped into his arms and kissed him. I felt the tears pouring down my face, not because I missed Danny, but because I hurt Seth. He put me down and hugged me.
"I missed 당신 so much Cookie" he said. I didn't say anything."Let's go okay." He walked me over to his car and shut the door after me. Just as he was about to get in, someone pulled him from the car and punched him in his face. I got up and saw Seth standing over him.
"Stay away from my girlfriend 당신 prick!!" I heard him yell at Danny who was laying on the floor holding his nose. I stormed past them both and hopped into my car and drove off. I felt the tears streaming down my face. 다음 thing I know everything went black and I could her Seth calling my name.

"Hey " he said and got up. he was going to give me a hug but I put my hand on his chest to stop him. he looked at me confused.

This short story is told from Edward's point of view. It's based on Twilight, and maybe a bit of Midnight Sun. It's about Alice's obsession of wanting to talk with Bella. I guess it shows Alice's determination and Edward's stubborness. Please 코멘트 and tell me what 당신 think!
********************

Even before Bella, the strongest relationship I had in my family was with Alice. We had always been freaks among those who were already freaks, with my mind 읽기 and her future seeing. We looked out for each other, we kept each other’s secrets, and we annoyed the hell out of one another.

Chapter 14. (Edward)

Did Bella just phase in to a werewolf? When she wasn't looking I took off into the woods. What the hell just happened? I walked into the house with a horror struck expression. 'Edward what happened?' Jasper thought. "Bella just-just..." I trailed off. Alice came out of the kitchen. "Phased." She finished for me. "What?" Everyone asked together. I caught a glimpse of Alices vision. It was my future of course. And it was blank. Is this the end of my life?

'Edward what now?' Alice thought. "I don't know." I answered her thoughts. I stormed out of the house. I have to find Bella....

B|POV

I knew what my subconscious wanted. It wanted Edward. I walked over to his house and knocked on the door.
Carlisle and Esme were on a trip visiting Emmet and had only left a few hours ago. Edward was 집 alone. I knocked lightly in case he was asleep. After about 5 분 he came to the door- his eyes swollen, tired. Like he’d been crying. “can i come in?” i whispered. My teeth chattering. He nodded and moved aside. I entered his house- i heard the door close behind me. “Are 당신 alright?” he whispered as i rubbed my arms to get friction to warm me up. “Just cold”...
