My Cullen Heroes

2: The Cullens

When I reached the house jaw dropped. It was huge! I slowly walked to the front door debating what to say. Should I tell them the truth or just lie? I knocked quietly on the door. A man answered the door with pale skim and blonde hair. "Hello. What can I do for you?"

I didn't know what to say so I just kinda jumbled some kind of explanation; "My step brother gave me your address and said that you can help me."

There was a long pause before he said "Come in." I walked into their home and my jaw just dropped. There huge open main floor was nothing compared to the Black's. Then I noticed that everyone was staring at me.

There were 7 of them, all oddly beautiful. They were the type that should me in LA shooting movies not in rainy forks. The man I meet at the front door was the first one to speak.

"So umm.." He started. "Bella" I told him. "Right Bella, you said your step brother told you to come here?" I nodded my head. "Does your step brother have a name?"

I thought for a minute debating whether or not to tell him Jacob's name. But since it sounds like they have no clue who he is it wouldn't matter. "Jacob Black." I answered bluntly. All their eyebrows raised. "Oh" The man answered understandingly.

"Well my name is Carlisle Cullen and this is my family," he nodded towards a founded faced brunette, "this is my wife Emse," he then went to a beautiful tall blonde and short black haired girl, "that's Rosalie and Alice my daughters," he continued on to a big, broad boy and a slim curly haired blonde, "that's Emmett and Jasper," then he pointed to a gorgeous gold-eyed, brown haired boy,"and lastly that's Edward."

We all sat for a minute in awkward silence until Esme began talking, "Bella, beg my pardon but exactly what do you need?" All the heads in the room noises there heads agreeing. I didn't know what to say.

"Well you see we are having some troubles with our father, Billy and Jacob just thinks that I need to leave." I answered half lying.

"What kind of trouble exactly?" The skinny boy, Jasper asked. I couldn't take it anymore my eyes stared stinging with tears that slowly became sobs. Esme came immediately to me wrapping her arms around me. She hushed me and told me it was going to be alright.

After finally calming my tears I spilled the beans and told them the whole story. They all comforted me, excluding the 3 brothers, and told me I could stay there for the night. They guessed that Jacob had sent me to them knowing they could help. But something about saying anything about the Blacks created a hiss among them but I didn't ask why.

Once I finished it was already 5 o'clock. They asked me if I wanted anything for dinner and I agreed. I never really had a meal made for me but it was great. After dinner Carlisle wanted to check if I had any serious injuries. He said that they were all pretty minor other than a improperly set wrist (that was broken by Billy throwing me down the stairs) and a rash from the whipping that made Carlisle go silent. After that he quickly hurried me off to bed.

It was late at night and I was sleeping on the sofa. I assumed that everyone was already sleeping upstairs but I could not sleep. I tossed and turned.

"Hard time falling asleep?" A strange voice asked. I gasped, a little scared. "What?" I asked looking around in the darkness. Then I heard a chuckle before the lights went on.

There stood Edward leaning up on the door frame smirking. "Scared you a little didn't I?" I nodded my head. "Sorry about that. I said are you having a hard time sleeping."

I sighed and sat down on the couch. "Ya. I don't know I guess it's just weird being in a different persons house." He nodded and sat down next to me. Then a burst of cold hair went through the house and I shivered. "Are you cold?" He asked worriedly. "Ya a little bit" I said through my chattering teeth. He got up and got a blanket and then wrapped it around me.

"Better?" He asked. "Yep. Thanks." "So Bella tell me a little about your self." I giggled and pointed towards the clock. "At 3 AM?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Oh ya right. You need to sleep. Alright well we can maybe have get to know each other day tommorow."

What? He forgot I had to sleep? Doesn't he? He wanted to get to know me better? I felt the blood go up to my cheeks as I replied a ya. He winked and walked out with a quick goodnight.

Breathe Bella. He's like 17 or something and you are only 15. He was just trying to be nice or something. Right?
