Hunted (A Twilight Fanfic)

Chapter 4

     Alice and Bella were waiting for me outside my last class. “Hi,” I said, wondering why they were there.

     “Ready to go?” Bella asked as she took my bag.



    “Yeah,” Alice must be taking Bella and me home. That would give me time to come up with a good reason as to why I couldn’t go to the party tonight.



     “Great,” Alice said, smiling. I followed Alice and Bella to Alice’s car. Edward’s car was gone. They must have left early. But why? School wasn’t that bad. Maybe it was because of the party Alice was having tonight. My musing continued as I got in the car and closed my door. Alice said something about the party, but I was thinking about the wolf again. It had been huge. I didn’t know wolves got that big.



     Where were we going? We should have been back by now. I looked out my window and stared. We were driving down a long, tree lined; drive way to a huge white mansion.



     “Where are we?” I asked quietly, though I thought I already knew the answer.



     “My house,” Alice said smiling. “Bella called Charlie before lunch and he said that it was fine if you came.” I sighed inwardly. That meant spending all night with them, but maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, maybe I’d get some questions answered.



     “You’ll get to meet Emmet and Rosalie.” I looked at Bella. Who were Emmet and Rosalie? “They are Alice’s older siblings; they’re on break from college.” She said, answering my unspoken question. Well this should be fun. Alice stopped and got out. How was it possible for someone to be that graceful? I shook my head and got out, following Bella and Alice up the steps to the front door. This was a bad idea, I could feel it. I should have insisted on being taken home. I shouldn’t be here. But it was a little late to run now, Alice opened the door. She walked in, Bella right behind her, and me slowly following. I closed the door behind me and looked around. It wasn’t what I expected. It was very open and there were windows everywhere. But it was still cozy. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad. I took a deep breath, there was that smell again. The same smell that had been in Bella’s room.



     “You made it.” I looked up; Jasper had walked in with a tall guy, who looked like a football player, behind him. I smiled faintly. Bella grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.



     “Chloe, meet Emmet, and that is Rosalie.” I looked over to the door as a tall blonde walked in. I couldn’t help but stare. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, come to think of it, all the Cullen’s are incredibly good looking.



     “Bella,” I turned slightly, walking down the stairs was Dr. Cullen and another beautiful woman.



     “Esme,” Bella walked over and hugged her. That must be Mrs. Cullen. “It’s so good to see you,” Bella said as she pulled me over. “Chloe, this is Esme.” I couldn’t help but smile, it was hard not to like her.



     “It’s nice to meet you, ma’am,” I said. She seemed nice. Nicer than most of her children.



     Esme smiled, “please, call me Esme."
