Chapter 10: Thoughts of vampires

Latibule (n): A hiding place; a place of safety and comfort

{This chapter is basically what the vampires think of Ophelia. Also, what happens when they arrive home from hunting-sorta}

Emmet's POV

My family and I had come home from hunting late in the night. I could hear a slow heartbeat from the house so I warily walked in humanly and saw Ophelia asleep on the sofa. Man, she looked adorable. Cheeks being squished against the pillow she hugged close to her.

I know it was weird and I don't want to be like my brother Edward, but watching her sleep brought me a satisfaction. Knowing that she was here and safe. I'm not sure if I was the only person who could feel this pull, magnetic almost.

"You feel it, don't you?", Émile stood in the kitchen and walked to me

"The pull".

I nodded and turned back to her. So, he felt it to, he has known her for some time maybe he'd know what's it.

"Yeah man, what is it?". He looked down at her and then at me, "I have no clue. Up 'till this day I still feel it".

Rosalie's POV

When Ophelia walked in the dressing room, I have no idea why I hugged her. There was something about her that I couldn't resist. In all my years as vampire and being cold towards the humans-Bella included, I wanted to be there for her and care for her as if she were the child or sister I never had.

I don't know what this is. I felt drawn to her, not blood drawn but emotionally drawn. When we had finished hunt I saw her with Emmet and Émile. She was asleep on the couch and they watched her. Maybe Emmet as well? I should talk to him first. Ophelia had left a hole in my frozen heart.

Alice's POV

I saw her coming in my vision. When Edward proposed to Bella. A ballerina, a sister that was hardly mentioned by Bella. Edward had met Ophelia when she came to visit Forks. Bella told him not to tell us about her but we eventually found out-well some of us.

Ophelia. She is an inspiring beam of light from what I saw in my vision. She will play a huge role in my family. Being the pillar that everyone leans on. I also was drawn to her like my siblings. The need to be around her or at least hear her voice-it brought peace to my mind. She is a new member of our family-despite being human. I've seen the way Bella acts around Ophelia, the two act like real sisters. .

Esme's POV

I have another child! My motherly instincts came about when I saw her. I wanted to feed her, clothe her, hug her. I was like this to others but she, she was different. It was good to able to cook again and not let the food go to waste. Seeing her face light up at the sight of oats, the way she smiles and her chubby cheeks blush of embarrassment

She was shy at first but once you talk to her, it's amazing when she tells us about ballet. Her true passion. I would love to see to her dance for us some time. My kids had grown close to her in a short span of time, was it the pull they could feel as well?

Carlisle's POV

My family and I already loved Ophelia. She was a part of the family now. I've never seen them act around a human like this even Bella. I might have self control but I will not lie, her blood was strong-not like Bella's but it had its affect. I was worried about Jasper and his thirst but he seemed to have develop control. I wanted to keep her safe as sound, be there for her.

She had a childish and playful personality that she showed rarely, I suppose. She brought everyone to the dance floor, Ophelia had an alluring aura. Émile was right-she has this effect on us. Emmet tells me that he feels a magnetic pull whenever he's near her. He watched her as she slept, as if he's trying to figure her out. Her heartbeat echoed in the house, each time it sped up we would rush to her but she just changed her position.

Edward's POV

She was difficult to read, much like Bella but not entirely. Her thoughts gave me a non-existing headache. It never ended. There was something that made feel protective of her. Ophelia had contagious smile and laugh. There was this thought that completely drained her. A mans voice, he tortured her...

I don't think she knows that I know, but I'm not going to tell her. Bella must know everything. When Jacob told her to shut up I saw her flinch. She was frightened easily and I just wanted to punch him for making her feel like this.

Jasper's POV

When our eyes met, I could see myself in her. Difficult to explain but I could feel every single ounce of emotion she felt currently and I think, previously as well. Joy, happiness, anger, sadness, grief, love. The smell of her blood hit my nose. It wasn't like Bella's but it could make someone distracted. She smiled. Lips quirking up ear to ear. It made my undead heart beat again.

Ophelia, what a unique name. It suited her well. There was no denying that she had exquisite beauty. Her eyes are what captured me the most. Brown eyes-her brown eyes, rich as chocolate and soft as fur. I immediately was being pushed down by a heavy object. I could not get up. All that I thought about was her, only her. She made me feel something I haven't felt in years. Is this how love feels like? I think so. I want to be by her side, hold her in arms. She looked beautiful even when sleeping. I stroked my finger against her cheek gently before I exited the room, "Goodnight darlin".
