━━━━━ CARLISLE LOOKED AT the door as it was pushed open. Jamie walked through the door, his eyes instantly on Carlisle. Soon his eyes fell down onto Ellie who had been asleep in Carlisle's arms. The blond vampire was holding onto her, while she held onto him tightly fearing that he would leave her again.
"Bella, and Edward are here. They want to talk to all of us including Ellie." Jamie said. Carlisle nodded in response, looking down at Ellie, just as Jamie walked out of the room.
"Hey." Carlisle called out to Ellie. He watched as Ellie slowly opened, she looked up at Carlisle as a small smile tugged on her lips.
"I was sleeping." Ellie muffled looking up at Carlisle.
"I know you were but Edward and Bella want to talk to us." Carlisle explained.
"Okay, let's go."
Ellie climbed off the bed and grabbed a hold of Carlisle's hand. The two walked down the steps to the living room where everyone waited. Bella and Edward stood on the steps.
"You all know what I want. And I know how much I'm asking for. The only thing that I can think of for it to be fair is to just vote." Bella explained to the group.
"You don't know what you're talking about." Edward stated, Ellie looked at him giving him a look.
"Shut up." Bella said as she looked back at Edward. "Alice?" She questioned.
"I already consider you my sister." Alice said as she walked up to Bella to hug her. Ellie moved closer to Carlisle wrapping her arm around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder. "Yes." Alice said, pulling her down the steps.
"Thank you." Bella replied.
"I vote yes. It would be nice to not want to kill you all the time." Jasper told her.
Bella nodded her head looking at Rosalie. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you for how I've acted, and I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save my brother. But this isn't a life I would have chosen for myself. And I wish that there'd been someone to vote no for me. So, no." Rosalie explained looking down at the ground.
"I vote Hell, yeah." Emmett said walking over to Bella lifting her off the ground and spinning her around, placing her back down. "And we can pick a fight with these Volturi some other way." Emmett added, moving back towards Rosalie.
"I already consider you a part of the family. Yes." Esme says as she looks at Jamie.
"I also consider you as family along with Ellie. So, yes." Jamie told her. Carlisle left Ellie's side walking next to Bella, but looking up at his son.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Edward asked him as Bella looked back at him. "You know what this means." Edward told him.
"You've chosen not to live a life without her, which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son." Carlisle responded.
Alice looks over at Ellie, wanting to know if she wants the same thing. "What about you Ellie? Do you want the same thing?" Alice asked her.
Carlisle and Bella turn around to look at Ellie, and suddenly all eyes were on her. Carlisle waits for a response preparing himself for what she is about to say. Bella hoped it would be the same answer, she just couldn't see her life without her adoptive sister, especially after everything they had just seen and been through.
"Uh... Yeah, I eventually would like to become one of you. However, there are still things I wish to do as a human before that time comes. And if something down the road changes that, then so be it." Ellie paused looking around at the people she considered her family. "I've come to realize that these last few months have been absolute hell without Carlisle." She continued.
"And all of you." She proceeded to place a smile on her face. "But, right now I want to remain human, until I'm ready to be changed. Or something else says it's my time. And if that's the case, I want Carlisle to be the one to change me." Ellie finished explaining.
Her eyes scanned the vampire's features along with Bella's but eventually her eyes landed on Carlisle. They all nodded their heads in response, understanding what she wanted. After they had finished talking Carlisle walked Ellie outside to her car, Edward and Bella had already left as light started to shine throughout the woods.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Carlisle asked her, wanting her to stay after what he had just learned.
"Yes, Carlisle. But I promise I'll be back before you know it." Ellie said as she placed a kiss on Carlisle's cheek.
Smiling, she opened her door and climbed into her car. Carlisle closed the door behind her watching as she drove down the driveway. Coming to the stop at the end of the driveway she turned onto the road. Keeping an eye on the road, a large animal jumped in front of her car. Ellie turned her car driving off the side of the road.
