Marine's Daughter

“Come on guys!!!! Let’s go!!” I yelled at the pack running down the stairs after getting dressed. I was going to see Alice today and I was so excited. I heard them get up and follow me. Everyone got into their vehicles that they were going in then we headed north to Forks to the Cullen’s house. After about a twenty minute drive we pulled into a gravel driveway surrounded by trees. If it wasn’t for my seat belt I would have my face pressed to the windshield of Sam’s truck. Finally the trees broke apart to reveal a large house in the middle of it with walls made from glass. “Whoa.” I whispered to myself but Sam and Seth obviously hearing me. As we came to a stop Seth climbed out and helped me out. I stood against the truck as the pack walked over to us, obviously they were still nervous about having me here but if this was the Alice that I met in Italy then they had nothing to worry about. Sam led the way up the steps to the front door which opened before we could even knock. Jake and Paul stood at my sides, protectively.

“Sam, how are you?” a musical voice asked from the door. Seeing as how Sam was stand directly in front of me I couldn’t see who it was but I knew it was a female. “Why don’t you come in.” she said. We walked in and I looked around taking in my surroundings. “I see you brought a guest.” She said. Sam moved aside and I gasped when I saw her. She was beautiful. Long brown hair, pale skin, golden eyes, and she gave off a motherly vibe.

“Esme this is Olivia Waterman, she is staying with Sam and Emily.” Jake said introducing us.

“Hello dear. It’s so nice to meet you.” She said sticking out her hand. I slowly took it not taking my eyes off of her. Her hand shake wasn’t like the packs. Theirs was warm, strong and completely overtook my hand. Hers was cold, but strong and was the same size as my hand.

“Hello. You have a BEAUTIFUL home.” I said breaking away from her to look around.

“Thank you.” A musical male voice said from behind us. I turned around and gawked at the man that was walking down the stairs from the upper floor. “Dr. Carlisle Cullen, you must be Olivia?” he asked shaking my hand which was just like Esme’s.

“Yes, I am. Please to meet you Dr. Cullen.” I smiled at him.

“Oh please, call me Carlisle.” He said. I nodded and let go of his hand. “Why don’t we move to the living room so we can discuss what happened?” Carlisle said turning to Sam. The pack followed him while I slowly walked behind them. As we made our way to the living room I took in every detail of their home. If they could I’m pretty sure my eyes would pop out of my head and onto the floor. The guys sat on the couch while I stood by the window looking out at the woods. “Edward, Rose, Emmett, would you mind joining us down here?” Carlisle voice rang quietly through the living room. I heard a whooshing sound then a few hisses which caused me to turn around. I saw that three move, obviously, vamps had joined us. The female obviously being Rose unless they the thought it would be funny to name the muscle head Rose. I heard one of the snicker which cause me to snap my eyes toward him. He had bronze colored hair, slightly darker eyes then the others but they were still golden. I looked to the girl next to him and stared. She was gorgeous. Like, model gorgeous. Long blonde hair, tall, and slim. She looked at me and snickered slightly. It kinda intimidated me from the look in her eyes, like she was about to attack me or something. The bronze haired guy elbowed her making her glare at him. My eyes then snapped to the muscle head next to her. He was about the height of Sam, muscular obviously and had his arm around the blonde.

“Oh Olivia, these are our adopted children. This is Edward, Rose and her husband Emmett. We have two others but they are…out right not.” Esme said.

“Hello. I’m Olivia.” I said walking over to the three to shake their hands.

“I’m Edward and I agree with you on Emmett being a muscle head.” Edward said. I jerked my hand out of his and looked at him slightly nervous.

“How did you know that?” I asked backing up. Paul and Sam were at my side, Sam’s hand on my shoulder giving me confidence.

“I thought she knew.” He said looking at Sam.

“Not about your powers.” He answered.

“Oh, please forgive me. I have the ability to read people’s minds.” He explained.

“Oh, sorry about the freak out.” I apologized.

“No problem.” He said.

“Hi, I’m Rosalie but everyone calls me Rose.” The female introduced herself. Again my mind flashed to Emmett really being called Rose. I heard Edward laugh making everyone look at him.

“Nothing.” He reassured everyone.

“I’m Olivia, which means you must be Emmett.” I said looking at the last one. He shook my hand and smiled.

“So you think I’m a muscle head?” He smirked.

“Slightly.” I smiled up at him.

“Alice and Jasper should be here in just a few seconds.” Esme said walking into the room. I hadn’t even noticed that she left. Not even a few seconds later a door from somewhere in the house opened and closed then there were two new faces amongst our group.

“Olivia?” the girl asked. I looked at her and my smile grew ten times in size.

“Oh my gosh it is you Alice.” I smiled dancing over to her. We hugged each other and started shooting questions left and right. “How are you?” I asked.

“I am good, How are you? How’s your dad? What are you doing here, I thought your dad was based in California.” She said.

“I’m good, he is good, I’m staying with Sam and Emily and he is still based in California but is currently overseas.” I answered.

“You guys know each other?” the blonde male next to her asked.

“I met Olivia a few years ago in Italy. We literally ran into each other in one of the stores.” Alice smiled at him. “Oh, Olivia this is my husband Jasper.” Alice said wrapping an arm around him.

“Oh so YOU’RE Jasper. He is good looking Alice, you weren’t lying.” I smiled.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you ma’am.” He said with a slight southern accent.

“hmm…a southern gentleman. How nice.” I smiled at him. “It’s nice to meet you Jasper.” I said shaking his hand.

“I have a feeling you girls would like to catch up so why don’t you go upstairs while we talk about the vamps on the loose.” Carlisle said. Alice and I instantly agreed and turned to walk out of the room but was stopped by Paul.

“Don’t worry, she won’t hurt me. I trust her.” I said turning to him. He sighed and let me go. Jasper followed close behind us as we made our way up the steps me still taking in everything. As we climbed a second flight of steps I noticed a LARGE glass frame with different colored graduation caps. “Let me guess…you’ve graduated a lot?” I asked looking at them.

“Kinda.” Jasper answered. Alice grabbed my hand and led me to a room that I could just imagine was Alice’s. We sat on the bed while Jasper sat in the corner of the room on the computer doing whatever he was doing while we talked. We talked about everything from my last day in Italy till a few weeks ago on the base.

“It’s so cool he let you come.” Alice said smiling.

“I know…you know I remember you talking about living here in Italy but it never really hit me that you meant THIS Forks.” I said.

“Are there more?” she asked laughing.

“Not that I know of.” I giggled. We talked for a little while longer about nothing.

“So what’s up with Paul?” she asked.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“When we started heading up here he suddenly got all protective, we’ve never seen him like that.” She said.

“Oh…he and Jake KINDA imprinted on me.” I said. Her mouth dropped and I heard Jasper snicker to himself.

“How? I mean in know-how but I didn’t think two of them could imprint on the same person.” Jasper said turning in his chair. I went on to explain the whole situation about how they had to fight for me and the plan that I had come up with. “That’s kinda strange.” He said.

“Yeah.” I said looking down at the blanket on the bed.

“Is it strange?” Alice asked. I looked up at her confused.

“Is what strange?” I asked.

“Knowing I’m a vampire? Being the imprint of two wolves?” she asked.

“Well when I first found out about them it kinda freaked me out and terrified me but I got over it slowly. Then I found out about you and for some reason that didn’t freak me out at all. I finally know why you spazzed out in Italy when I fell and got cut on that rock. The blood.” I said feeling my palm where the small scar was.

“Yeah sorry for bailing on you, it kinda took me by surprise and I hadn’t hunted in a while.” She explained.

“It’s cool. I guess if I was in your shoes then I would have done the same thing.” I replied. She and Jasper laughed quietly. “So tell me about this Bella. I know a little bit about her but not a lot. Only from what I hear from the guys when the tease Jake. They’ve told me that there was a misunderstanding a few years ago when you were in Italy that involved Edward and you guys left here for a few months or something?” I said.

“um yeah. That was the whole reason why I was in Italy.” She said as she started to explain everything that happened.

“So the Volturi people said that she has to be changed by the time they come to check up on her?” I said confused.

“Yeah…I don’t know why she would chose this life style but she said she really wants it.” Jasper said.

“Don’t take this the wrong way but…I wouldn’t want to live like that. Having to drink blood to survive…I can barely stand the site of blood let alone drink it.” I said making both Alice and Jasper laugh.

“Yeah when I was first turned I kinda felt the same way about it, before I knew about this lifestyle and living off of animals I had to kill humans to survive and every time I think about it I can’t help but feel guilty for taking all those innocent lives.” Alice said.

“I have a new motto…that was then, this is now.” I said looking up at her. She smiled at me and giggled. “So you were a soldier in the confederate army?” I asked looking at Jasper.

“Yes ma’am.” He answered. I had always been interested in the army’s back in the days so I started asking him questions about it and he would ask me questions about the Marines and stuff involving them. We soon got onto the topic of living on the base and yada yada yada. Then I started telling them about the prank I pulled on the gang when I heard an extra laugh coming from the door way making me jump and look.

“Emmett you scared me.” I said placing my hand over my heart.

“Sorry, Esme made food and wanted to know if you were hungry.” He said.

“I’m starving.” I replied.

“Well come on then.” He said. I got off the bed and grabbed Alice’s hand while she grabbed Jaspers. When we got to the kitchen the pack was sitting at the long table stuffing their faces as usual making me wonder if there was enough for me.

“Don’t worry…she saved you some.” Edward said from the couch in the living room.

“Quite that…it’s freaking me out.” I said looking at him.

“Then quit thinking.” He replied with a snicker.

‘if I did that then I would be as dumb as Embry.’ I thought causing him to have a fit of laughter. Everyone looked at us as we continued to laugh.

“I like you…you’re funny.” He said walking over to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“Thanks…I like you too, except when you read my mind but I guess I will have to get used to it.” I said placing my hand on his right shoulder. I heard Jake and Paul growl from their seats at the table.

“What’s gotten into them?” Edward asked.

‘they both imprinted on me.’ I thought as I walked over to the counter where Esme was.

“Here you are dear. I didn’t know what you would want on your sandwich so feel free to add whatever.” She said handing me a plate.

“Thank you.” I said smiling at her.

“How?” Edward asked as everyone looked between us confused. I replayed everything that I’ve learned about it, from them telling me they both imprint on me to what they told me about having to fight for me then my plan. “Wonder how Bella is going to take it?” he said which caused Jake’s head to snap up at her name.

“Think she’ll be mad?” Alice asked Edward.

“Who knows.” He answered. I couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous when Jake’s head snapped up at her name. After I finished eating I excused myself to use the bathroom which Esme told me where it was. When I finished I walked out and down the hallway and noticed a room with a large bed in the middle with a red and gold blanket on it. I walked in curiously and looked around. There was so much music in here. Records, CDs, cassette tapes, soundtracks and more. I looked in awe at all of them, it was like I was in heaven or something since I loved music. I looked at the desk that was in the corner and saw sheet music laying on top with notes written on it. I hummed the melody and smiled. It was called ‘Bella’s Lullaby’ it was so sweet. “Like my room?” Edwards musical voice called from behind me.

“I had never seen so much music before.” I smiled looking around.

“What’s your favorite?” he asked.

“Alexandre Desplat, Carter Burwell, and Debussy’s Claire De Lune. I remember my mom used to listen to it every night when I was little before I went to bed. It was her favorite. I guess it kinda stuck with me.” I said remembering the several nights that my mom held me in her arms dancing to it, humming the tune and smiling down at me. Even though I was too young to understand what it really was I still remember those nights. I looked up at Edward who was smiling, clearly reading my thoughts. “Did you write this?” I asked picking up his sheet music for Bella’s Lullaby.

“Yes.” He replied sitting on his bed.

“It’s really good. Bella is a very lucky girl.” I said looking out his window.

“She says the same thing but I think I am the lucky one with her.” He said. I turned and looked at him as a smiled lifted his lips.

“What’s she like, Bella?” I asked sitting on the couch. “I wanna know a little about the girl my imprinter is or was in love with.” I said smiling.

“Where do I begin?” he smiled. He thought about it for a minute then started telling me about her. From when he first saw her, to the accident with Jasper, him leaving, then the trip to Italy to meet up with the Volturi. How he thought she was dead and how he didn’t wanna live in a world where she didn’t exist. I thought that was the sweetest thing I had ever heard in my entire life. As I listened to him tell me about her I couldn’t help but smile, I knew that if I met her we would get along great. “Every time she stumbles I always catch myself staring at her because she blushes every time and I’m always there to catch her.” He said. When he finished the sky was turning dark with clouds, lightening was flashing just to the west and light thunder was rumbling. I have always been TERRIFIED of thunderstorms. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.” Edward snickered from the bed.

“Yeah well try being trapped in a F4 tornado when you’re eleven.” I said replaying the day my dad and I were traveling through Kansas and got hit by a tornado.

“Oh, yeah well that would scar me for life if I were human.” He smiled at me. A loud crash of thunder clapped causing me to jump and scream. I jumped up and ran out of the room, down the stairs to where everyone was. When I entered the room I was breathing hard and was shaking as another clap of thunder echoed through the home.

“Olivia what’s wrong?” Sam asked panicked obviously noticing the scared expression on my face.

“She is scared of thunderstorms.” Edward laughed.

“It’s not funny Edward.” I hissed at him. “Can we go home?” I asked jumping as thunder echoed louder through the house, I could feel the vibrations in my bones.

“Yeah, we can continue this tomorrow?” Sam asked Carlisle as he stood up.

“Of course, feel free to come back any time Olivia.” He said with a smiled. I smiled back slightly as the thunder got louder. The pack and I started heading toward the door when a loud BOOM shook me to my bones causing me to scream, jump and run to someone. I don’t know who it was except they were warm.

“It’s ok Olivia. It’s just a bit of thunder.” Sam’s said. I looked up and realized he was the one I ran too.

“A bit of thunder.” I said releasing my arms from around his waist. The rain was coming down hard as we opened the front door. “See you later Alice, Jasper. Nice to meet you all.” I waved before we all ran out of the house. Sam got in the driver’s seat of the truck while Seth and I quickly crawled in the passenger side. Everyone took off at the same time and headed back down to La Push. Every time it would thunder I would whimper and push myself closer to Seth who would laugh and I would elbow him in the side. When we got back to the house I jumped over Seth and ran into the house before everyone could even get out of their vehicles. When I walked in I saw Emily standing at the stove cooking dinner. When the screen door slammed shut she jumped and turned around.

“OLIVIA! You scared me half to death.” She said placing a hand over her heart.” She said with a gasp. “Sweetie what’s wrong?” she asked when she noticed that I was shaking and that I jumped when it thundered.

“Just don’t like thunderstorms.” I said sitting at the kitchen table.

“Oh sweetie…it’s ok.” She said walking over and gave me a quick hug as the pack walked in. “Hey honey, how’d it go?” she asked Sam as he walked through the door and over to her.

“Good.” He said planting kisses all over her scars and then her lips. I couldn’t help but smile and wished that Jake or Paul would do that to me. Speaking of the two they walked in smiling. What on earth were they smiling at?

“What are you two smiling at?” Embry asked as if reading my mind. They looked at him then at me like they were sharing a secret or something.

“If you two are hiding something then you better tell me.” I said looking at them.

“We couldn’t help but noticed that it storms a lot here and you’re terrified of them.” Jake said.

“And you find that funny?” I asked getting a little upset that they think it’s funny im scared of them.

“No…we were just thinking about which one of us you would run to the most when you were scared when it storms.” Paul said.

“Your body trembling against us every time it thundered.” Jake smirked.

“OH MY GOD!!! YOU GUYS ARE SUCH PERVERTS!!!” I said glaring at them. Everyone busted out into a fit of laughs. Thunder rumbled slightly a few miles away, thankfully the storm was passing. “Besides, who said anything about running to the two of you. I might just run to Seth, or even maybe Embry.” I said walking over to Embry and sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. I heard Paul and Jake growl from the corner and I couldn’t help but laugh. “Would you mind if I ran to you when it stormed?” I asked turning to look at Embry.

“As long as I get to hold you against me.” He said. Paul and Jake growled even louder.

“Nah. Jake and Paul might get jealous.” I said turning to look at them.

“To late for that.” Quil laughed from the corner. I got off his lap and walked out of the kitchen to hear Embry yell in pain after a smack, probably to the back to the head.

“They’re such idiots.” I said to Sam and Emily who were in the kitchen. Emily cooking while Sam tried to help but she just kept smacking his hands making him laugh. It was great to hear everyone laugh and see the smiles. I smiled as I walked up to my room and slipped my wet shoes off then slipped into my pajamas since we probably weren’t going anywhere else today. Shortly after Emily called everyone to the table and I raced down stairs before the guys could take everything and all the seats but they beat me to the seat. Emily made them wait till we got out food before they could devour everything. Since there was no place for me to sit I plopped down on Emily’s lap causing her to let out an ‘oomph’ sound.

“Trying to take my woman?” Sam asked playfully glaring at me.

“Well of course. Don’t you know I only came here to try and steal her away from you?” I smiled wrapping my arms around Emily as she wrapped her arms around my waist.

“GIRL ON GIRL ACTION!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!” Embry yelled out causing everyone to laugh. Emily and I both picked up a roll each and threw them at him while a smile. After a few more comments from the peanut gallery everyone started eating with me moving to sit on counter behind the table. When the guys finished the said they were going to patrol which left Emily and myself alone.

“God I love them.” I said as I helped Emily gather up the dirty dishes.

“I do to but sometimes…I want to strangle them. Though it wouldn’t do any good but still.” Emily replied only kidding.

“Well they’re boys…they all need a good smack every now and them or something.” I laughed.

“Ain’t that the truth.” She joined my laughter. We finished up cleaning and everything then decided to watch a movie in the living room. I wanted to watch a zombie movie but Emily wanted to watch Flicka. After a few minutes of her pleading I agreed and we watched it. It was really good. (if you haven’t seen it, you definitely should also Flicka 2) Half way through the movie I ended up falling asleep on the couch with the rain gently falling outside with no thunder which is what I loved.
