Dani shoots up from laying down, looking around the unfamiliar room.
"Where the hell am I?"
Right on cue, a blonde man walks into the room. He looks to be in his 30s, dressed in khaki pants and a white button up.
"I'm glad you're awake. I'm Dr. Cullen, but please call me Carlisle," he says.
"H-Hello, Carlisle. Where exactly am I?" Dani asks softly.
"You're at my house in Rosalie's room. You fainted from exhaustion in her arms at school," Carlisle says.
"Oh, right. The accident. Wait, fainted? Rosalie's room? Her bed?!"
Carlisle gently reaches out to Dani.
"I would just like to check for-"
"Don't touch me!" Dani yells, backing away from the blonde man.
Carlisle stares at Dani confused.
"P-Please go away..," Dani says softly, eyes looking down.
Dani pulls her knees to her chest to protect herself. Both the blonde and brunette hear the door open, revealing the blonde goddess.
"I got it from here, "Dad"," Rosalie says without looking at Carlisle.
Carlisle exits the rooms and closes the door. Rosalie looks at the frightened Dani and slowly walks over to her bed. She sits on the edge while looking Dani up and down.
"Love? Can you look at me?" Rosalie asks in a gentle voice.
Dani slowly lifts up her head and looks at Rosalie's bright, golden eyes. She blushes at the pet name.
"God, this girl is gonna be the death of me," Dani thinks to herself.
"May I check for injuries?" Rosalie asks.
Dani nods her head slightly, but it doesn't go unnoticed by the blonde. Rosalie gently lays down Dani on her back. She grabs the rim of Dani's hoodie.
"May I?" Rosalie asks.
Dani is glad she asked for consent. If she didn't, she would've gotten defensive.
Rosalie gently takes off Dani's hoodie. Luckily, Dani wasn't wearing a shirt today, so the inspection would be easier. However, Rosalie saw every last bruise on Dani's ribs and wrists. Her eyes went from a beautiful gold to jet black. Dani watched as Rosalie's eyes changed.
"How did they do that?" She thinks.
Rosalie lightly runs over Dani's bruises with her finger tips. Dani tenses up at her sensitivity. Dani's face flushes a dark red, and she looks away from embarrassment. Rosalie's soft expression turns into a scowl full of hatred.
"Who did it, Danielle?" She said harshly.
"M-My...," Dani stutters.
Rosalie makes eye contact with the brunette. Black meeting brown and green. Black piercing into Dani's soul.
"...dad," Dani says softly.
Rosalie swiftly gets up and walks out the door, slamming it shut. Dani flinches from the act. She ends up putting her hoodie back on and stands up off the bed. She looks around the room since she didn't get a chance to the first time she was in here. There's bookshelves aligning one of the walls with a door beside it.
"Must be the bathroom," Dani thinks.
On the shelves, there's many different car magazines. Don't worry, there's also regular books, some even look decades old. The bed is a king size. It has a grey head board behind it with grey sheets and comforters. Beside it is a small, black table with another magazine and Rosalie's plugged up phone. One wall is made fully of glass, leading out to the balcony. Lastly, Rosalie's closet. It is filled with hung up designer clothes.
"Sometimes, she has terrible taste in style," some girl says.
Dani jumps and squeals from being startled. She quickly turns around only to spot Alice.
"Jesus, Alice!" Dani yells.
"Sorry, Dani. Esme cooked you some food if you're hungry?"
"Yeah, I kinda am," Dani says honestly.
"Well, c'mon, slowpoke," Alice says jokingly.
The 2 girls make there way downstairs and into the kitchen. Esme made a BLT sandwich, sitting on a plate with a bag of chips and a cup of water. Dani takes a seat at the large, rectangular table.
"Thank you, Esme. It's amazing," Dani says sweetly.
"Aww, it's no probably, Sweetie. I assume you never ate today because you passed out from exhaustion."
"Yeah, I didn't . Where's Rosalie? I wanna thank her," Dani asks.
"Carlisle took her out. Rosalie needed to go blow off steam," Esme says.
Then, Emmett walks into the kitchen, and he leans over Dani.
"You can hang out with me. I'd like to play some video games with you," Emmett says childishly.
"Oh, you're on!" Dani says.
——————————
Rosalie and Carlisle walk back into the Cullen residence from a hunt. It took a few hours for Rosalie to calm down.
"What kind of father puts his hands on a sweet girl?" Rosalie questioned to herself.
"I got called in for a late shift at the hospital. Take care," Carlisle said, stepping out the house with his coat.
Rosalie's eyes roam around the living room and finally spot a sleeping Dani on the couch.
"We played some games then decided to watch a movie. I guess she was tired; poor girl had bags under her eyes," Emmett says softly, trying to not wake the brunette.
Rosalie hums in acknowledgement. She walks around the couch and gently picks up Dani. Dani's arms unconsciously move around Rosalie's neck, her legs moving around Rosalie's waist. Rosalie walks up the flight of stairs to her room. She closes the door quietly with her foot and hears it shut completely before laying Dani down in the bed. Rosalie pulls the blankets over Dani and tries to walk off, but she feels something grip the collar of her shirt, pulling her back.
"Rose..?" Dani asks softly.
"I'm here."
For the millionth time in 2 days, gold meets brown and green. Rosalie feels the world stop. She takes the time to appreciate all of her mate. The gods really did send down an angel.
"Stay with me?" Dani asks sweetly.
Rosalie takes a second to read Dani's facial expression. She asked such a simple question, yet it's like Dani's pleading.
"Is she afraid of being alone?" Rosalie thinks.
Rosalie doesn't get a chance to answer the question when she's pulled down under the covers. Dani scoots close to Rosalie, hugging her tightly around the waist. Dani's head rests in the crook of Rosalie's neck. Rosalie hesitates. She's never been in this position before. Rosalie slowly wraps an arm around the middle of Dani's back. Her other hand massages Dani's scalp.
"Thank you, little Rose," Dani says softly in Rosalie's ear.
Rosalie shivers from Dani's warm breathe on her neck. If she could blush, she definitely would right now from the pet name.
"Little rose? Such a simple nickname, but it's like my dead heart is beating out of control," Rosalie thinks to herself.
"For what, Love?" Rosalie finally asks Dani.
"For saving me today. I probably would've been dead if it wasn't for you."
Rosalie freezes. She's shocked at the confession. Rosalie grabs Dani's chin and tilts her head up, looking right into her eyes.
"You mean so much to me, more than you could notice. I would save you, even if it meant killing myself," Rosalie states sternly, yet promisingly.
Dani has a deep blush forming all over her cheeks. She smiles big, dimples popping out. Dani hugs Rosalie tighter, enjoying the comfort of her savior.
Her protector.
