"Your eyes are enchanting," you whispered in awe, your lips curling upwards as you admired the pixie cut haired woman's amber eyes. You knew that she had not been human, but you wondered if she knew what you actually were as you found yourself getting lost in those eyes. Simply an onlooker, an acquaintance if you could even call yourself that, of the woman. Though you knew not to make a spectacle of yourself, part of your tongue wanted to just tell this brunette vampire every single thing about you.
She grinned back at you, and after murmuring a thank you, she pulled you by the arm. "I'd like for you to sit with my family, if you wouldn't mind," she said, her tone as vibrant as a summer's day. "I'm sure they would love to meet you."
You felt embarrassment rising inside of you, though you simply smiled back at the pixie cut vampire. "I would love to," you said kindly, trying to force yourself not to stutter around her. In your decade of life, you had never seen such a vibrant woman, let alone vampire of this caliber. Recently, you had moved to Forks, as your last school was starting to doubt you were as preserved as you were. As you had not aged since you were 7, reaching maturity by then, you had often moved around.
"Y/N here is a new student," she said vibrantly, pulling up a chair for you to sit beside her at the table. You sat between her and a honey colored haired vampire, one that seemed clearly in pain, but you wondered if it was simply a plight of being around so many humans. Going down the line, Alice introduced you to each of her brothers and sisters, all of which, you could assume had been vampires as she had. Edward glanced strangely at you, as if he were reading your thoughts, while your anxiety had melted away. "So, how do you like it here in Forks?"
Beautiful amber eyes stared back into your y/e/c orbs and you felt your cheeks flush pink the slightest bit. "I'm beginning to like it," you replied with a smile.
After lunch, Alice had begun checking up on you, seemingly whenever possible. Nothing had ever seemed that she had been worried about the danger you brought as a half vampire, but that she seemed to simply be concerned about your genuine comfort. It could go to say that she enjoyed being around you, the way her angelic voice would ring out as she laughed, how she would jump over railings and surprise you with a brilliant smile.
This behavior stretched for about a week, your first week at Forks. You knew better than to come in when the sun was shining, and you found yourself wandering the forest the day that it had. It was not that you were shocked to catch the pixie haired vampire's scent, but as she came to you with the same brilliant smile she blessed you with, you felt yourself at true peace.
"You took off school, too, didn't you?" She joked, a grin against her lips. "You could come over to our house if you'd like."
"Are you sure that's alright?" You questioned with a quirked brow, though you found yourself practically frolicking with the woman on the way back.
She skipped with every step, and you found yourself doing the same. At one point, she grabbed your hand with her slightly chilled hand, spinning herself around in your grasp. The two of you had been giggling, laughing even, as you occasionally caught glimpses of one another's glittering faces.
Both of you knew, clearly, that the other had not been human. As you walked into the windowed home, you wondered if she truly knew you had been half human. The blush against your cheeks clearly would give it away, but you were told a far time ago that you had been an abomination. Your father cast you aside when you had killed your human mother upon birth.
"Alice, you know better to bring-," you heard an elder male chiding, before his amber eyes landed upon you, "Oh, hello there. You must be Y/N. If you would follow me-."
As you walked with Alice, her slender fingers slipping down to grab your hand in her own, she explained that Carlisle was their father. While the two of you walked behind him into what seemed to be a home doctor's office, she had not removed her chilled hand from your own. Needless to say, as you were walking beside her, you were a blushing mess.
"So, I'm sure you know," he began as he allowed you to take a seat upon an uncomfortable doctor's chair. "But what I'm wondering is how you came to be."
"I-," you started, pausing as you found strength in Alice's eyes, a way your heart swelled with the confidence you needed to face this question. Glancing your y/e/c orbs back to Carlisle, you continued. "My mother was human. Father, distraught that my mother had died giving birth to me, sent me off at a young age. Once I learned to control the thirst, I found ways to fit into society as best as I could."
"That's remarkable," Carlisle said with a grin. "If it's not intruding, what does your diet consist of?"
Alice squeezed your hand gently, reassuringly as you began speaking. "Blood, or human food," you said with a shrug. "Human food since I've been here, since I can see you've taken a permanent residence here, and I didn't want to intrude."
Carlisle began explaining about the way that they actually do not drink humans, and that they live strictly off of an animal diet. Alice would chime in from time to time, but for the most part, she allowed the elder vampire to speak without interruption. He explained everything down to the fact that the family had grown over time, starting off with just himself and Edward.
"And Alice here sees the future," he said with a smile. "Alice saw you joining us."
"As my mate," she chimed in with a grin, before giggling.
