Emptiness // Emmett Cullen

Chapter 11

"My family wanna meet you" Emmett said as we studied in my room. "Really?" I said as I turned to him. "Yeah" Emmett replied and I instantly became nervous. "When?" I said. "In about an hour" Emmett replied and my eyes widened. "What?! Emmett!" I exclaimed. "What?" He said. "You could've given me more notice!" I said jumping up from my bed and running to my closet.

I began to look through my closet trying to find something decent to wear. I pulled out a black sweetheart neckline top, blue jeans and an emerald cardigan. "I'll be back" I said before walking into the bathroom and changing. I quickly gave my teeth a brush before grabbing my hair brush and brushing my hair. I applied some light makeup and exited the bathroom.

I walked back into my room and grabbed some shoes and my coat. "How do I look? Should I get a different cardigan? Should I wear a necklace?" I said panicked. "Babe, you look perfect ok?" Emmett said as he held me in his arms and I sighed as I nodded. "Lets go" He said and I nodded. Emmett and I walked hand in hand downstairs and out the front door.

Emmett sped ahead of me and I giggled shaking my head as he opened my door. As I climbed into his jeep I felt him smack my ass causing me to squeal. Emmett climbed into the drivers seat and started his car before pulling out of the driveway. He drove down the road and I turned on the heater before rubbing my hands together.

"Edward is bringing Bella too" Emmett said and I nodded. "So who is in your family?" I said. "Well there's Carlisle our leader slash my adoptive father, then there's Esme, his wife and my adoptive mother, Alice and Rosalie, my adopted sisters, Jasper, Damon and Edward my adopted brothers" Emmett explained and I nodded.

"Do you call Carlisle dad or..." I said and Emmett chuckled as he shook his head. "No. He sees all of us as his children and calls me son sometimes" Emmett said and I nodded. "So what are they like?" I said to Emmett as he concentrated on the road. "Carlisle, Esme and Alice are very welcoming. Alice especially because she loves meeting new people. Jasper and Edward keep to themselves really because Jasper is the most recent vegetarian so he finds it hard to be around humans. Damon also keeps to himself but he's a nice guy. Now Rosalie. She's a difficult one" Emmett said as he shook his head.

"Why?" I said confused. "Well, she envies humans because she never wanted to become a vampire which is one reason she doesn't like you and she and I are very close so she gets possessive" He said. "Is that why she's been glaring at me?" I said and he nodded. We soon drove off the main road and down a gravel trail into the woods.

After a few moments a huge glass mansion appeared in sight and I gasped as I looked out the window. "Holy shit" I whispered in awe as Emmett came to a stop. He chuckled as he climbed out of the car and rushed around to my side letting me out. We walked up the grey cement steps to the front door and I heard another car pull up. I turned and saw Bella and Edward climbing out of Edward's silver Volvo walking up to the front door.

"This house is amazing" I said as Emmett took my jacket off before placing it on a bench that was by the front door. "It's so light and open" Bella said as Edward placed their jackets on the bench also. "What did you expect? Coffins and dungeons and moats?" Edward said playfully as Emmett and I walked up the stairs.

I admired the amounts of expensive art work that we passed as we walked up the stairs. "Why is this place so...open?" I said to Emmett as we stopped. "Here we can be us. No hiding from the sun or people" He said and I smiled as he took my hand leading me up the stairs again. The smell of food cooking and light opera music filled the stairwell.

"I told them not to do this" Emmett said as we walked to the top of the stairs. As we rounded a corner I saw Emmett's family in the kitchen cooking. We were greeted by a woman who had caramel hair and a heart shaped face with a warm smile. "Bella, Malory, we're making Italiano for you" She said and I smiled.
