Chapter 7 - A New Hope

Ahrianna's POV

Waking up from the best night sleep I think I have ever had 'is so nice' I thought to myself stretching out on the plush duvet covers, I looked around and saw that I was back in the room i had woken up in yesterday after my attack. The book shelf still looked really old and the walls were just as dark as they were, today i notice the big window on one of the walls, it looked out on to the forest, my normal bedroom. I sighed thinking 'I'm going to have to leave soon' that thought made me sad. Trying to distract my self from the thoughts of me leaving this home and this family i looked down at the bed and realised I had made a mess, pillows were scattered everywhere and the spare blanket was off the bed. 'Wow, I never realised I moved so much in my sleep before' I thought to myself. I quickly got out of bed and tried to make it before someone realised what a mess I had made. I gave it my best shot just as i heard a small knock on the door. Esme then popped her around it and asked to come in. I nodded, only to realise the bed was a mess and I was still in the night clothes Esme had let me use. They where pink and silky and felt so soft to the touch. As she entered the room I quickly tried to straighten the bed once again.

"Don't worry about that Ahria dear" she said in such a kind and loving tone. I noticed in her hand she held a pile of clothes, she crossed the room and handed hem to and gestured for me to get changed in the bathroom while she waited in the bedroom. As I did that I could hear her humming though the closed bathroom door, I also had a sense she was really nervous and happy about something, but what I don't know. Once I finished getting changed I folded the night clothes and left them on the side, then taking one look in the mirror and grabbing a hair tie from a bowl next to the sink, I tied my hair up in a high ponytail on the top if my head. This is how I normally wore it when I would run though the forest on my own, it wouldn't get in my face so much. Looking again in the mirror actually looking at the clothes, I thought to myself that they would be perfectly fine to run in seeing as I was wearing a pair in comfortable jeans and a long sleeved top with a pair of ballet pumps again. 'I would have to replay the Cullens for their hospitality, but how.' I thought to myself. Not even bothering to look at my face in the mirror I left the bathroom thinking 'who would want to look at the face of unwanted child'.

Walking back into the bedroom, I noticed Esme had made the bed and it looked perfect. 'Absolutely perfect, not a single crease.' I thought to myself. I looked at Esme who was staring at me with a gentle smile on her face. I could sense her emotions were mixed by the look on her face, or was it the look on her face, 'she just looks happy to me' I thought in my head confusing myself.

"We would like to talk to you Ahria-" she said in a sweet voice. "- I mean the whole family" she continued with a smile on her face. 'Oh no. What have I done wrong. They don't like me, they want me to leave' I thought panicking in my head. I kept my face as emotion free as possible, obviously I had done a good job because Esme hadn't picked up on me panicking. Then she walked over to me and took my hand leading me from the room. Once we reached the living room she pulled me toward the sofa with Carlisle sitting on it, I sat down next to him and Esme sat the other side of me. I looked around the room and saw the rest of the family sitting and standing around the large room. Emmett and Rosalie were standing by the dining room archway, Rosalie looked quite upset for some reason but Emmett just had the goody grin on his face looking at me. Alice and Jasper were sitting next to each other on the other couch holding hands, Jasper almost looked like he was pain and Alice couldn't stop bouncing up and down 'who gave her coffee' I thought to myself. At that thought Edward chuckled and I turned in his direction seeing him standing next to Bella who was sitting on the other end of the couch which Alice and Jasper were on. Renesme was sitting on the floor in front of her mother. And then a movement caught my eye just behind Edward, Nicolas I thought. I couldn't really see him but he was sitting in the same chair he was last night. Once I had acknowledged everyone in the room and said my 'hi's' and 'hellos' I got some in return and some smiles too. I looked towards Carlisle who looked like he had something's to say. 'This is it I thought. They want me gone forever.' I thought with a saddened expression. I looked up to see Edward frown at my thoughts.

"Ahrianna my dear" Carlisle said in a kind friendly tone. "We have all talked and most of us have agreed that we would like you to stay." He said with a smile on his face, I turned my head to look at Emse to see if this was a joke. But she smiled like it was the truth.

"It's true Ahria, we would love for you to join our family and become a Cullen." She said, her smile getting bigger. 'What was going on, I was sure they hated me and wanted me to leave. What do I do. No one has ever wanted me before. They must be lying.' I thought at a million miles an hour. I put my head in my hands trying to clear my head. But it's didn't work. Instead I looked up to see Edward coming forward with caution.

'I can't do it I thought. They don't really want me, they are just trying to be kind. They only met me yesterday.' My mind felt like it was going to explode, Edward took another step towards me hearing every word in my brain. Without even thinking what I was doing I out of my seat and through the back door as quickly as my legs could carry me.
