The Forgotten Cullen

(10) Explanations

"So where's Arabella, Carlisle?" Alice asked as she came back from putting the ice cream in the freezer. We somehow convinced her to put it inside to avoid it melting. "I want to show her a new dress that I spotted online." 

Carlisle took a seat and to the naked human eye, he would've looked normal, relaxed even. But to the family, they noticed that he was a bit tenser, as if worried that a secret might get out.  

"I am sorry to tell you that Arabella is nowhere to be found." 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. 

"My family loved me a small fraction. They focused their attention to Renesmee, never praising my prowess or admiring me in anyway," I said. Elijah frowned in front of me. "I am a bit bitter especially when things got worse of us." 

"A family friend of ours, Irina, saw us playing in the snow one day," I continued as I recalled the day. "She thought that we were immortal children and reported our family to the Volturi. Immortal children were very hard to control as children usually don't like to listen to adult figures. The Volturi are -" 

"I know who the Volturi are young one," Elijah interrupted as a fire appeared in his eyes, "After all; we are the ones who created them." 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND?!" Bella and I exclaimed. We watched Carlisle flinch at our sudden volume. Bella looked murderous while the rest of our family stayed shock. 

"Don't even try it Jasper!" Bella yelled at the vampire. Jasper looked pained but stopped trying to calm my wife. Bella turned to Carlisle again with a slightly calm look, a hint of craziness in her eyes, "Where is my daughter Carlisle?!" 

"I'm here mommy!" Renesmee exclaimed from the top of the stairs. Bella glanced at our youngest and turned back to my father. 

"Where is Arabella?" 

Carlisle sighed and shook his head, "I didn't know how it happened. My mind was hazy and the next thing I knew, I smelled blood and I immediately snapped out of it. We ran all the way to the outskirts of Arizona* and Arabella had been scratched by a branch. She took one look at me before disappearing. I tried to follow her smell, but found that it was blocked." 

"Blocked?" Alice asked, confused, "Blocked by what?" 

Carlisle shook his head and looked at us in the eye, "I don't know." 

And with that, Bella proceeded to trash the forest outside. 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. 

"That's impossible," I shook my head, "You're only a thousand years old, the Volturi are 4,000." 

Elijah had a ghost of a sneer on his lips, "Is that what they are telling everyone? They were simply a changing gone wrong. Too much sunlight and vampire venom I guess. They were our first turns. The magic was still fresh in us. And now I find that they mothered more of their kind. This is worse than the Shapeshifters. And to think, they call themselves royalty, Niklaus and Rebekah will be terribly angry." 

Elijah smirked at the idea but snapped out of it when he saw my raised brow, "Continue with your story. I am terribly sorry for my reminiscing." 

"Right, back to my mini-biography," I said ignoring the small reminiscing scene, "My family recruited witnesses for our trial and when it finally came to the fight, we just talked." 

"That is a good way to solve your problems," Elijah nodded, "Perhaps you can help my younger siblings understand that violence is never the answer." 

I shrugged, "I'll do my best. But from how you describe them, I don't think I can." 

Elijah chuckled. I cleared my throat. 

"The trial ended peacefully after my aunt brought another one like us. After a few months, I developed more powers and had a serene life, until today. My family went to get some ice cream and left me with my Grandfather. My grandfather was in a sudden trance and began chasing me around. Along the way, I got scratched and ended up being here in Arizona with you." 

"You have an interesting story little one," Elijah mused as he stood. He offered his hand to me and I hesitantly took it, "How do you feel about joining my family?" 

I looked at him with shock, "But what about my family." 

"I do not want to sound harsh," Elijah said, "but I do not think they will miss you that much." 

I looked down on the ground, tears welling up. I thought over the offer, I realized that he was right. 

They have Renesmee anyway. 

I looked back up at the man and nodded. I gave him a small smile. 

"I would very much like to join your family." 

Elijah gave me a small smile, "Welcome to the family." 

"Ella Mikaelson," I said. "From now on, I'll be Ella Mikaelson."

Eww you guys. This took so much longer to edit than I thought. I suck I know. Well, better late than never right? *Shot*  

Sorry for being MIA these past few months. The laziness is getting to me...I am here to tell you that I am back with new ideas that I would like to present to you all!!! 

FORGIVE ME!!! 

*I know that Arizona and Washington are so far away from each other. I was not right in my mind when I wrote this. Ignore my non-existent knowledge of U.S. Geography. I just decided to let it stay the same, too lazy to go back and actually change everything else.
