Isabella Belifield

Chapter 22

Bella's POV

                I got the call during 6th period.  Alexander wanted to get the OK from me before inviting the Cullens over to our house.  By now, I was pretty sure that Carlisle Cullen was my brother.  I had found a picture of him in a newspaper in the library and it looked so much like him.  Also, the name was the same. 

                Our mother was Trisha Bielefeld and our father was Henry Cullen.  Wanting to keep both last names alive, I got our mother's last name and our father's last name as a middle name.  Carlisle got our father's last name and our mother's maiden name as a middle name. 

                I went home early to tell Jonathan, Mariah, Virgil, and Nymphadora.  This was something you tell them in person.  Also, I wanted to make sure the house was in one piece.  Luckily, it was. 

                Everyone was nervous as we waited for our guests to show up.  Samantha and Alexander had met Carlisle at the hospital so they were showing them the way to the house. 

                Of course, it wasn't like we were all waiting downstairs like we should.  Natasha was up in the library with Brandon, Nymphadora and Jonathan were with Mariah and Virgil in the game room, Elizabeth and Dylan were in the music room, and I was in my room.  I was spacing out on the main driveway. 

                What would it be like, meeting my brother again? 

                Would he be different? 

                Would he recognize me? 

                Would he trust me enough to take a good look? 

                More importantly, should I be forcing myself into his life like this? 

                I had a million questions. 

                Before I could get too worried about my own what-ifs, 3 vehicles drove up the driveway.  None of them went into the garage.  I guess they were a bit too nervous as it is.  Going underground in a weird house full of foreign vampires wouldn't exactly calm them. 

                The first vehicle was Alexander's black Mercedes Benz.  The next was a shiny silver Volvo that I recognized from the school parking lot.  The last was a red BMW. 

                Alexander, Samantha, and Carlisle came out of the Mercedes.  It really was my brother.  He was a vampire as well.  Would he remember me?
