Family First | The Originals

7: Introduction

It's the next morning and this time I wait. I've conducted a plan. I want to play human to the best of my ability, but I also need to insert myself somewhere in the equation without looking suspicious. I need to know more about the family and make sure she's safe. I also need to be very careful about how I approach this, I can compel them which is always a fall back but for some reason it feels at thought there are those I can and those I can't. If that's a possibility I don't want to risk it. 

It'll also give me a chance to find out if she's with them also. It's in the back of my head that within the moment i find out if she is, I'm going to kill the entire cullen clan and get Bella out of the situation as soon as possible. I'll destory everything I've build and uncompel, perhaps get in touch with a witch for Bella and Charlie's saftey. I'd dissapear, maybe go home. But that's an unlikley possibility. The entire scenario is. However if things go south I need to have another plan. I suppose plan C would be slaughter the entire town and run it to the ground, leaving Bella and Charlie last, given my connection to them, i'd be unwiling. Again. Another unlikley possibily.

He finally arrives. The car door opens and he steps out. He watches me carefully. I smile to myself and walk down the steps slowly. He seems to look everywhere except me, he glances a couple of times but keeps his distance. 

"Hello" he says quietly. 

"Hello, I'm Elizabeth and you are?"

"Edward" I nod, I want to make this quick and short, Bella will be here any minute. 

"So a vampire huh?" He looks at me with wide eyes but says nothing "I went through Bella stuff, I'm her sister, I was worried. I still am, if you're really a vampire."

"I don't..know what you're talking about.." I'm a little dissapointed. Shouldn't he be defending himself. Shouldn't he defend his kind. Instead he sounded intimitaed, like he didnt know what to do. In this moment, I realize he's young. He hasn't faced such a threat before, he doesn't even know that i am a threat. I then wonder if what I'm doing is the right choice and if i've picked the right one to pull my plan forward. 

"You're quiet young, you've must've been recently turned. You can trust me, I have secrets of my own would it help if I shared one" he held his eye contact with me, stepping closer and becoming more quieter so quiet the human ear wouldn't register what he says.

"Are you...are you also...?"

"I'm 18 years old, from what I've heard you're 17, you've been 17 for a while, I've been 18 for so long I've started to loose count" he tilts his head and I can hear Bella's footsteps

"That's not possible..." 

"I only want to protect my sister. It's in your best intrest that I'm there, wherever she goes. Discuss with your family. Tell them exactly what I told you, i went through my sisters stuff and found out. Just leave out the second part. Thats all I ask." Just then the door opens and Bella's footsteps become hesitant seeing me and Edward facing eachother in a intense way.

"So you've met.." I look at her and smile, I wrap my arms around her and hug her tightly

"Of course, you know you can't keep it secret forever I would tell Charlie when you have the chance" I tease and she pushes me off as a sibling would and goes to him I then look towards him giving him a look he maintains eye contacts with me for a moment and then takes her. I watch as they drive away. This should get him to loosen up, or maybe i've done the exact opposite. I guess we'll see.
