Dearst Diary
For the first time in my Immortal life, if that’s what you can call it, I am happy. I have been watching Emmett carefully, never letting him out of my sight. I feel responsible for him in so many ways.
Esme joked that I was more like his mother than a sister. It took me a while to realize she was right, I was babying him. But I only want to make sure he doesn’t slip up again. It’s true, I am only only two years older than him, and I too am a newborn, but I don’t want him to get exposed, or put himself in danger. I love him.
He makes me smile and I feel at peace when he is around, calm. When he touches me, I don’t flinch. I think it’s fate. I love everything about him. He is my soul mate, my destiny. I need him as much as the humans need air to survive. He completes me entirely. I keep trying to explain to you how vital he is for me, but nothing justifies it.
Edward seems to like him too. I am happy and a little jealous of Emmett in that way. It took Edward so long to actually tolerate me. He accepts Emmett no problem. I wonder why it took Edward to get to this point, to finally like me. Oh well I don’t really care - he can be all doom and gloom when not around me. I mean, I get it, Edward - being a vampire is unpleasant. I will never get to be a mother. I will never get to grow old and sit on the porch of a beautiful home and watch my grandchildren play together out in the fields. I too am stuck in the river of time, as a boulder, always feeling the current of time, but never traveling with it. I would have rather died than become a vampire, but Emmett….he makes this whole immortality a little easier to tolerate. That’s one of the many reasons why I love him.
I am going to go now. Emmett & I will be going hunting and I think I will ask Edward to come with us, try and cheer my big brother up….after all my big brother & his “gift” could come in handy to hear any human thoughts, if any humans are near us.
