Character mashup: Part One:
Edward Cullen’s Point of view
I strolled down the Fork's grocery store aisle, with Renesmee tugging at my sleeve. "I want that one Daddy!" She told me, pointing at a very sweet cereal. I sighed at her. "Mommy is going to kill me if she sees that sugary cereal sweet heart! It will keep you up all night!" She pouted at me, with her adorable little face giving me the look. I picked her up and lifted Nessie into the shopping cart. "Fine." I said, grabbing the box from the top shelf. It was a miracle anyway that she was eating human food instead of blood, so I might as well take advantage of it. And besides, if Bella wanted Nessie to eat healthy, she should have gone to the store instead of sending me. That would be a good excuse to prevent her from whipping my ass. I pushed the cart with my daughter down the aisle and out to the checkout. The cashier looked at me with interest and said," Cute sister hun'!"I smiled at her politely,and said,"She's my daughter!" The woman's eyes widened, and she gave me my shopping bill. I turned around and walked away before she called to me, "Sweetie, i'm getting off work soon! We can...hang out." She winked at me, trying to seem mysterious. I looked at her in disgust. "Listen, I'm married.In a committed relationship. Not some kind of meat for sale. Good day to you Miss." I turned on my heel with Nessie in my arms who was giggling like mad. "Don't tell mommy what happened, Nessie!" I winked at her as I buckled her in her car seat. She nodded vigorously swearing that she wouldn't tell Bella. I kissed her at the top of her little head and smiled. I was about to slam the door,when a young girl, about 16-17 called to me."Edward Cullen?" I turned around with a raised eyebrow. "Yes? That's me." I said. "Please don't be another crazy woman" I thought to myself.I tried to read this young girl's intentions, but could hear nothing, which was very strange. Very strange indeed.That hadn't happened since Bella was human...Odd. She had long curly brown hair, with a pair of one of the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen. "I'm sorry," she apologized," I'm Laila and I know this sounds crazy, but I'm from Earth." I raised another eyebrow. "And I'm not?" Her eyes widened and she blushed madly. "No! I mean that, well…" "Well?" "You are a character from a New York bestselling book!" She stammerered. My eyes widened, before deciding this was just another crazy teen, telling a whole bunch of ridiculous lies just to get money out me. "Pardon?" I asked her, feeling even more confused than before. " I can prove it! You are the vampire Edward Cullen right?"
I looked at her face detecting she was telling the truth. "Correct." I said gesturing for her to continue.
"On Earth, there are no such things such as werewolves, or vampires. You are fiction! Your whole life is a book alright? I have this power where I can go into books and be in a novel of my choice. Become a part of it. Your whole life is a book called Twilight." She shoved a black covered book at me. I flipped through it and saw some very familiar names. Bella, Edward, Alice, Emmett, James! My whole life was a novel! Imagine that!
"Nessie, touch the nice lady, and see if she is telling the truth." I whispered. Renesmee reached out and touched Laila's cheek. She nodded at me, signaling that this young woman was telling me the truth. I rubbed my temples, feeling absolutely awful.
My whole life.
A lie.
A story that was meant to entertain someone.
Laila looked at me, and said worriedly, "Mister Cullen, I know this is a lot to take in, but I really do need your help. Really I do. You and millions of other books are in danger!"
"And why is that?" I asked suddenly feeling weak at the knees.I leaned against my car and nodded for her to tell me her story.
"A man is seeking out to destroy all literary worlds. Why? I really don't know. But millions of books, wonderful books, are in danger. Their lives would be gone, and they would be nothing but a distant memory. Please help me!"
"How do you know this?"I asked her.
"He-he- he threatened me alright? He said if I don't start sticking my nose into other people's buisness he would kill me!"
I looked at her wide pleading eyes, and told her, "Alright, I'll help you. But come with me, and I will-erm- introduce you to my family." "Thank you so much Edward! Thank you!"
We pulled up into my parent's driveway, Laila looking in wonder at my home. "Wow! This is amazing!" I smiled at her while I pulled Renesmee out of the car and put her on the ground, where she toddled up the front steps and sat down. I laughed at her, and walked up to the porch. Nessie knocked on the door, which swung open to reveal a smiling Alice. "How's my little girl?" She said as she picked her up and swung her around. "Hi Eduardo…and…umm, Friend?" Laila blushed madly while I told Alice, "Yeah, I guess you could call her a friend. And Alice? Do me a favor and gather up the family? We have to talk about something." Alice gave me an expression as if to say, I know what's going on, and replied, "No problem." I looked at Laila and exclaimed, "Let me bring you to our living room, and please make yourself comfortable. You certainly have a lot to explain to my family. And they won't believe you as much as I did you know." She looked at me with a very serious expression and declared, "I'll try and explain as best as I can, but I need your help. It's very important that they understand what's going on, because they could very much be in danger." I nodded, and sat down on the arm of one of Esme's recliners. And then, we waited for them in utter silence.
"So you seriously think we're going to believe in this bull crap?" asked Rosalie in disbelief after Laila had explained everything.
"Rose!" Emmett sighed.
"Don't Rose me Emmett!" She yelled angrily," This is ridiculous! I have had enough crazy stuff because of Bella, and now this-this, stupid mortal is trying to mess things up with her silly lies! Let's just snap her neck and be done with it!"
Esme gave her a horrified look, while Carlisle calmly said." Rosalie, we taught you better than to be so rude!" He paused and smiled at Laila before adding, "Laila sweet heart, I believe you, but what can we do to help? If this man is in your world, than how can we possibly aid you if we are in completely different dimensions? It is impossible to bring us there, right?" Laila smiled widely. "The thing is, it's true that I can't bring you to my world."
"Is it just me, or did I hear a but in that sentence?" asked Jasper, who was chewing on his finger nail.
Everyone murmured in agreement, while Laila continued," Yeah, there is a but in that sentence, because I may not be able to bring you my world, but I can bring to other worlds." "Other meaning? "Asked Alice. " I mean book worlds. Wonderful literary classics! Percy Jackson, Vampire Diaries, the Caster Chronicles and so much more! You can help me by coming to the different worlds! Please help! I beg you guys!" Everyone murmured to each other in their own conversations. I turned to Bella, who looked deep in thought. I was surprised that she hadn't said anything yet.
"Love?" I said softly. Bella snapped back to reality, and gave me a strange look. "So what do you think about all this Edward? It sounds very unbelievable." I sighed at her. "Bella my love, after all we have been through, this is unbelievable?" Bella laughed, and told me," I guess you are right as usual,so Laila has my vote. She's lucky. I'm only agreeing because of you. I trust you." "Good!" I replied happily, kissing her softly on the lips.
After lots of arguing, and throwing things across the room,(Thanks to Rosalie) everyone decided on a vote. It was unanimous, and everyone except for Rose, agreed hesitantly to help Laila. "Alright then everyone! Here is the plan…."
I looked at her face detecting she was telling the truth. "Correct." I said gesturing for her to continue.
