FF: How many stars?--update pg.8 - Page 3

omg y did u stop there 😲

BPOV:

Everybody's concern for me grew once they heard this. Including, Edward, to my great disbelief. Alice called my mom and she rushed over, and I went home.

That day I got a dozen phone calls—many of which were from strange relatives I never knew truly existed.

Then came Monday---dhun dhun dhun!

I was horribly terrified of the attention I was about to get.

Not too many people cared though. A few people gasped, and tried to show their concern, as I walked to the office to straighten everything out.

Mrs. Cope showed me how to go and yelled at some one to help me. The 'someone' just happened to be Edward. Of course.

"I'd be happy to Mrs. Cope. What do you need me to carry Bella?"

I pointed at my book bag which probably weighed close to Emmet.

"Its really heavy, sorry."

"No problemo. I've carried heavier." He smiled at me.

We finally got in and he settled my books on my desk.

The teacher looked slightly startled at me in crutches, gave me a comforting smile, and went to business.

Lunch:

As agreed the other day, we had the left, they had the right. It was so odd, nerds sitting next to the most popular people in school.

We all seemed to mind.

Mike was very talkative with his fellow group members, and everything seemed to be going fine, until:

Lauren walked away to dump her tray in the trash can and purposely dropped her half eaten cookie on Cristy.

"Oops" She said without meaning it to Cristy.

Little did Lauren know how unbelievably clever Cristy was.

"That's okay." Cristy said in a voice anyone would believe. She really could act, heck, Cristy could be anything she wanted to be—she could dance, ice skate, sing, act, had a model's body, perfect grades, swim, play the piano!

At times, I felt like nothing compared to Cristy, even though she was always so modest.

Only I knew what Cristy was doing—she was going to torture Lauren mentally so badly—oh my. Everyone else on the table felt shocked because that wasn't the way a normal person would react.

Lauren spent the rest of the period worrying what she was planning.

Just some humor!

ADDITION PART!:

EPOV:

We all arrived home knowing some strange surprise was awaiting us. Dad informed us that we would be having several new family members joining us today.

In less than three minutes, there are about to be a lot more Cullens in this world.

Mom and dad were standing there with their hands folded, waiting for them to arrive.

"Alright, now, are you all prepared to meet your new brothers/sisters?" Mom asked us, eyeing me in particular. She knew I would be difficult.

Emmet was the first to reply. "Yup! Totally! More people for me to beat at wrestling!"

Of course. How typical of Emmet.

Then, Alice replied. "I'm excited too! More people for me to give makeovers!"

Again, something I was expecting. I wonder though, did Alice really expect all of the girls to be so willing for one of her makeover sessions?

"Edward?!" Mom called on me after I chose to remain silent.

"I guess it depends on what their like. I don't think they are going to particularly enjoy living here with us though."

"Give them some time son. Don't judge." Mom said while patting my head.

Then, they arrived.

The first one to ring the bell were two young girls, one blonde, the other with black hair.

They seemed sixteen, or so, and had huge grins on their face as they were welcomed in by mom and dad.

"Welcome! Your names are..?"

"Anna" replied the blonde. "Emma" replied the other one.

"Well, please, make yourselves at home. I am Esme and this is my husband, Carlisle, and these are my children, Emmet, Alice, and Edward."

I noticed them eyeing me in a very gooey way, mouth open and a dreamy look on their face. I gave them a smile—there was nothing wrong with dazzling them, was there? I was allowed to have my fun.

Mom and dad eyed them strangely, which caught their attention.

"So, this is where were going to live?" Emma asked.

"Yes." Mom replied politely.

"Eww. Isn't this place a little too small for so many people?"

That was awfully rude of her. We all glared at her, but mom replied politely.

"I am sorry dear, there isn't any other option. This house is fairly large."

Who was she kidding? This was a mansion! Were did this Emma come from? The richest mansion in the world?

"I think its really nice Esme" said the suck-up Anna

She twirled her hand in her hair and starred at me nonstop.

Then the door bell rang again.

"Hello dear, welcome. I am Esme, this is my husband, Carlisle, and my children, Emmet, Alice, and Edward. And you are?"

"Eve." She replied with out emotion. We stared at her as we remarked that she was gothic, as she had a scary look on her face, black lipstick, dark makeup, and a black shirt with blood red spots and ripped black pants on.

No fun with this one!

She starred at me, I was not surprised. It didn't matter who the girl was, chances were, she was going to stare at me.

Mom and dad made some small talk with them, they weren't too successful with Eve though. Then the doorbell rang again.

This time there were two boys. They were younger than us—in middle school, short and thin. Emmet wouldn't have any fun wrestling with them, they were absolutely no competition.

The one with glasses on beat mom to the punch. "HI! You must be Esme, and you must be Carlisle! And, oh, let me guess! The three standing there in the corner must be your children, while the others are ones like us, who have come here to live with you!"

Mom was starring at him in great confusion as we were. He and his friend were welcomed in. The one with the glasses name was Zachary, and the other one was Ben.

The door bell rang again. It was a tough looking boy with a hard expression on his face. He didn't look friendly at all. Beside him was another boy, who had a smirk on his face, looking like a snobby player, just like me. Maybe we would be friends. The player's name was Ricky, and the other one's name was John.

Mom welcomed them in of course, and the bell rang abruptly. This time it was a really fat girl with a goofy outfit and large glasses on, obviously in middle school. She looked like a total nerd.

Again, no fun. However, Alice might find this one a challenge and enjoy it.

"Welcome dear." Esme said while comforting her by putting her arm on her shoulder. "Your name?"

"Maria, but you can call me Marie" She said with a rather frightening smile on her face directed towards me.

I smiled tentatively back at her. I wasn't going to sleep with her, but that didn't mean I should be mean to her.

The door bell rang once again.

"This should be the last one." Esme said while opening the door.

"Ah, dear, its so nice to see you." She pulled the girl into a hug. The girl was nice looking, with lovely black hair not to short or long, and dark brown eyes underneath perfectly tweezed eyebrows.

"Hi Esme." She opened her eyes after she let go and dragged her suitcase in. she was wearing a modern black jacket covering her crimson t-shirt and light blue jeans.

"Carlisle." She acknowledged him with no sign of friendliness.

"Elizabeth." He did the same.

This was the first time dad spoke to any of the guests, or should I say, my brothers and sisters. Ugh!

I wondered what was so special about her. I didn't like her, but I still wanted to know about her, and why she didn't require an introduction.

"So, honey, how has everything been?" Mom asked Elizabeth.

"Fine." She said.

"Good. Well, why don't you sit down so that we can all meet each other and start this introduction."

And so she did. She glanced around until mom started the "meeting".

"Well, as you all know, you are here to live with us, and therefore, you all are apart of this family. You may call us whatever you wish, Esme, Carlisle, Mom, Dad, your choice, but I do wish that you all adjust here, and make yourselves comfortable. We do care about each and everyone of you equally."

That was a true, surprisingly. To mom, every child deserved her love, which she gave unconditionally.

"Now, how about you all introduce yourselves, so that we all get to know each other a little better."

Some were ready for this idea, others weren't.

Anna started.

"well, I am a fifteen years old, I am turning 16 next month, I love music, and that's about it!" She said like a total girly-girl. Alice was bound to get annoyed of this.

"That's wonderful, thank you for sharing. Edward likes music too, don't you Edward?"

Of course, my mom just had to pick on me. I simply nodded while glaring at her to cut it out.

"How about you, Emma?"

"Well, as you may have heard, I was really rich! But now I have to live here..ugh!"

This girl was really rude. I glared at her but mom continued being nice.

"Alright then, and you, Eve?"

"I'm thirteen, and I like black nail polish."

"Okay, how about you, Zachary?"

"Well, Esme, I enjoy the culinary arts very much, and I am fourteen."

Enjoyed cooking..hmm. wonder if he's any good, I'm kind of hungry.

"That's wonderful! Isn't it dear? Is it the same for you, Ben?"

"No, I like playing basketball." So he was a jock, maybe Emmet could wrestle him.

"That's good. Are you on the team at your school?" dad asked.

"Yes."

"And what about you boys, John? Ricky?" my mom was an expert at interrogating people.

John chose to answer first.

"I'm a junior in high school and I like skateboarding." His expression still rough.

I wondered why.

"I'm a junior too. And I like baseball." Interesting.

"Isn't that wonderful! We like to play baseball as well."

"cool." He replied to my mother.

"And what about you, Marie?"

"I like observing all sorts of strange animals and insects! And I'm fourteen."

She was fourteen!? She barely looked twelve! I was feeling uneasy as she was starring at me with that flirtatious smile.

"How interesting. And, finally, Elizabeth?"

"I'm thirteen and I like to read novels and write as well." She said simply. It seemed as if she could say much more, but she chose not to.

"Wonderful! Now that we have all gotten to know each other! Why don't I show you all your rooms! Some of you will have to share rooms with each other.

I ended up sharing my room with Zachary and Ben. Great! I murmured to myself sarcastically.

It was time for dinner, thank God! I was starving!

………………..

"Alright. Now, we have mashed potatoes, chicken, and salad. Help yourselves!"

And so everyone did.

"this is wonderful!" said almost everybody. Dad tried to make some small talk.

"So, Zachary, what is it that you like to cook?"

"Anything at all Carlisle, especially the sweets."

"I see." He smiled at him then turned his attention towards Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, you've only taken salad? Don't you want some chicken or potatoes?"

"No, I am a vegetarian." She said it as if he should have known.

"Oh, right. But, why not the potatoes?"

"Because they grow underground, animals die in the process." She said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, right."

Zachary asked the question I wanted to ask.

"Do you two know each other?"

They stared at him, well, Elizabeth was more so glaring.

Dad answered.

"Well, yes, you see, she is my daughter."

Me, Alice, and Emmet gasped. Elizabeth glared at him.

"Dad, is this true? Is she really our sister?"

"Yes, son."

"Why the hell didn't you tell us? And why is she living with us now and not before?" Emmet was outraged, just as we were.

The girl sitting in front of me was my blood sister.

Of course, Alice was my sister as well, but she was adopted just like the others.

She was looking at Emmet, probably wondering if he hated her or not. I wasn't mad at her, I just wanted to know why she was here, now.

"We have hidden this from you all for a reason, but I believe it is time to tell you all now." Mom said.

"Lets discuss this in the living room."

Please comment and i hope you enjoyed it😃

EPOV:

We walked into the living room and every one made themselves comfortable.

I had a feeling they were going to reveal to everyone that me and Emmet were vampires. But why? Why now? I couldn't seem to understand.

Mom folded her hands and looked at us with a calming smile.

"Let me begin by apologizing. Especially to you, Edward and Emmet. I am truly sorry I kept this from you two for such a long time, but I did have a good reason. And you too, Alice."

"Hid what?" Emmet asked, clearly interested. We starred at them awaiting an answer.

"After your birth, Edward, I was pregnant with Elizabeth. You all were young, you didn't realize it. But, because she, well, she, she…"

"She what mom?" I demanded as I starred at my little sister, who looked kind of sad as she starred back her mom. our mom.

"Mom, I'll tell them." She spoke as if she were protecting mom. "But, I don't know if you want every one to know, or just them."

By them, we all knew she meant, me and Emmet.

"I think we should let Emmet and Edward know first." Mom replied. Know what!!?? I was loosing my mind here!

"Okay." She turned to us while the others left the room. it took some time for some of them to realize that they should.

"I know you guys are vampires, and you probably know about witches too. Well, I am a witch—a good one. But, the volturi decided when I was born that I couldn't grow up with you guys until I turned thirteen, which is the age at which my full powers come in and I have adapted to them well."

Wow. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"So, all these years I had a little sister who's a witch?" I asked, shocked.

"Yes, we are terribly sorry, but we swore to the Volturi that we would never tell anyone. But, now we are all together, and that's all that matters, right?" Dad said.

"I guess." Emmet blurted out for the both of us.

"We kind of need to know about witches though." I remembered

"Oh, yes. Well, I am a witch too. That's where she got it from. And we basically have these powers and we use them to save innocents occasionally, otherwise we just reserve them as vampires do." Mom said nonchalantly.

"Oki-doki then. Are we, and by we I mean you, going to tell the others?" Emmet asked.

"I suppose we will have to. but not immediately, we will wait until they settle in and feel comfortable."

We all agreed to this and mom and dad walked away. Part of me wanted to get to know my little sis a little better and part of me just wanted to go to sleep.

I know, short, sorry!!
