Chapter 10

(Crystalline's POV)

Jasper and I were just reclining in his study relaxing in each other's arms as I curled up on his lap as he went through one of the older books that he had finished correcting and showing me the truth of what happened in the time of the Civil War.

It was so fascinating that when the sound of knuckles echoed against the wood slightly startled me as two someones knocked on the door. I knew who it was judging by their feminine scents and the fact that I new that my Mother wasn't amongst them.

Sighing, I really didn't want to get up from Jasper's contented embrace, so told them to enter rather than get up to go and answer them double wooden doors to the study myself.

It was then that my two new sisters, Alice and Rosalie, entered the room so gracefully that I could practically picture their gracefulness belonging to a ballerina. Their smiles on their faces, especially Rosalie's, looked as though they would belong in a magazine add for just about anything from dental care to clothing.

I shook my thoughts away and returned their smiles as I tilted my head, causing me to rest my head against Jasper's temple.

"Hello ladies, what can me and this little filly do for you?"

My parents believed that it wasn't them who needed to be telling me everything, so they just gave me the basics.

Focusing my thoughts on the situation at hand, I looked at her and Rose, and then looked back at Jasper to see him smiling at me before sending me an encouraging emotion, though I could also tell that he was reluctant to part from me, but knew that this outing with my new sisters would be beneficial.

I sent my gratitude towards my new mate before turning back to Alice and Rosalie with a smile fully of excitement. "That sounds great, so I'll go. But we go by my rules, Alice. I've heard about you and your shopping addiction." I narrowed my eyes on her and she gave me an innocent look that clearly said 'who me?' I couldn't help but laugh at that. "I've heard about your shopping addiction, little miss, and just to remind you, I'm still half human and I do have the occasional human needs, as irritating as they are." I told her sternly..
