She was born in the modern world. Her soul was born in the Olde Worlde. But she rose from the ashes of pain that was created in the modern time and became the one she was meant to be, she became Aster.

The next morning, Aster and Draco were speaking with the Cullen's, Aster was still concerned about Edwards, stalking... she was not a fan of that, just because she's had that happened to her with her... fans. Edward had apologized to the young witch, but he told her he couldn't help it, he was drawn to her, he wanted to protect her, but also be able to be around her.
It wasn't long before the bell rings, students exit class, rushing past them, Rosalie was holding Aster in her arms, wanting to keep the male population away from her. It wasn't long till Aster noticed Bella across the lawn, watching Edward, Aster knew right away that she figured the family out. It was then Edward sees Bella, sees the intensity on her face. He stops.
She walks to him, eyes meeting his... her look says, we have to talk... and she continues directly past him, into the dark forest that borders the school. He watches her disappear in the trees, then takes a step to follow. Jasper moves in front of him, Rosalie grabs his arm.
"Edward don't go." Rosalie says, as Draco takes Aster from the blonde. But Alice gently removes Rosalie's hand from his arm.
"He's already there." Alice states.
"Edward." Aster calls, the vampire turns to her. "If she learns of myself and Draco, I will take the memory away from her, she cannot know. She cannot." Edward didn't say anything as he walked away, following Bella into the woods. Aster shook her head, as she felt Rosalie wrap an arm around the girl. "She can't know, she can't." Aster whispered. Rosalie and Draco shushed the small girl, seeing the slight fear in her eyes.
Bella scared her, she had this feeling to her, that made her untrustworthy, she gave Aster this feeling of using her, using her and Draco for their magic. She just didn't trust Bella, she couldn't. "Come on, we have class Mumma bear." Emmett whispered as he smiled to the small girl. Aster nodded and followed Emmett into the high school.
The week soon ended, Aster and Draco were at the Cullen's home, Aster was sat on Carlisle's lap, the two were watching an interesting show, as Draco taught Esme, Emmett, and Rosalie an Italian recipe. Aster was comfortable, she enjoyed the smell that was coming from the kitchen, the soft sounds of the TV, and the soft caress of Carlisle's hand on her waist. She felt safe.
"Are you alright?" Carlisle asked his sweet mate.
Aster turned her head away from the TV and smiled, "I'm okay, I'm actually feeling safe, I feel safe when I'm with you guys." Carlisle smiled as he stood up with her in his arms, Aster giggled as he took her to the kitchen, helping her to a stool. Aster smiled watching her new family cooking together.
Verdi's opera blasts through the kitchen, as Aster senses Bella and Edward walked into the kitchen. Carlisle now helped, Draco, Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme prepare an elaborate platter of Italian pastas and antipasti. Esme rolls out a pizza dough and fans tomatoes around it in an instant. Rosalie stirs a pot, disinterested, which made Aster giggle. Esme sees Bella and stops, emanating maternal warmth. Her heart-shaped face and billows of hair are reminiscent of the silent-movie era.
"Bella." Esme greeted with a beautiful smile on her face. "We're making Italiano for you." Esme explained to the plain girl. Bella's smile was awkward, but Aster could see the curious look in her eyes as she glanced back and forth between herself and Draco.
"This is Esme, my aunt for all intents and purposes." Edward explained to her, as Bella nodded.
"Bon giorno?" Bella said awkwardly.
Esme grinned, as she greeted Bella in a happy manner. "Molto bene!"
Carlisle came over to Aster's side, as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Yourself, Draco, and Aster have given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time." He said softly, as Aster leaned into his chest more.
The kitchen had brand new Williams-Sonoma cookware boxes in the corner – Bella watched as Draco started to scold Emmett for waving the knife around. The giant teddy bear laughed at the boy, who then smacked him with a pan... on the head. The rest of the family just ignored the pair.
"I hope you're hungry." Esme says her smile still on her face.
"Oh, absolutely..." Bella starts to say but Edward cuts her off.
"She already ate."
Bella shoots him a look, but something shatters. Rosalie had crushed the bowl in her hands, and now strides out. "Perfect." She growls, not seeing the shaking form of Aster, Carlisle whispered softly into her ear, trying to help her calm her racing heart.
Bella exits behind Rosalie, trying to explain. The other's follow. "I just assumed -- because you don't eat, you know..." Bella tries to explain.
"Of course. That was very considerate of you." Esme states to the girl, as Aster and Carlisle come to stand beside Esme, Draco stayed behind, he needed to clean the glass up off the floor. He did not need himself or Aster to stand on the glass.
"Ignore her. I do." Edward whispers to Bella.
Rosalie scoffs as she looks at her adopted brother. "Yes, let us keep pretending this isn't dangerous for all of us."
"I would never, ever tell anyone." Bella says, trying to reassure the family.
"She knows that." Carlisle states.
"The problem is, you two have gone public now, so..." said Emmett, shrugging his shoulders.
"Emmett." Aster scolded, glaring at the giant man.
"No Aster, she should know." Rosalie says. A hidden meaning in her words. Because again if she learned about herself and Draco... things could end badly. "The entire family will be implicated if this ends badly."
"...Badly?" Bella questioned, this hangs in the air, uncomfortably. Edward cannot look at her. It wasn't until she realised what it means. "Oh. Badly. Like, where I become a meal."
Emmett chokes back laughter. Edward grins. Wraps his arm around Bella. Even Esme has to chuckle. Rosalie, exasperated, heads back into the kitchen. Emmett shrugs, goes after her.
"Hi, Bella!" Alice calls out, the family turn to see Alice leap over the rail, holding a bouquet of wildflowers. Jasper follows her. She bounces forward to kiss Bella's cheek and hands Bella the wildflowers. "I'm Alice. You do smell good." Alice says smiling.
"Alice." Edwards scolds.
"It's all right, Bella and I are going to be great friends." Alice states, Aster shakes her head, giggling gently.
Bella extends her hand out. "And you're Jasper, right?"
"Pleasure to meet you." Jasper states, but he shies away from her hand.
Alice whispers gently to Jasper. "You won't hurt her, Jasper." But Aster could see Jasper isn't so sure. Edward takes Bella's hand instead.
"I'll give you a tour of the house." Edward says, as he starts to pull Bella out of the room.
"I'll see you soon." Alice calls out, with a knowing smile.
Aster was pulled into the kitchen by Carlisle, as her had heard her stomach growl. Aster just smiled as she just followed behind him. She was excited to eat the food Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, and Draco had made.
