⚡️after taking bree in, did you ever consider removing her from the family during the shaky integration period? (newbrn c: )

@carnivorare (thank you!)

I think there were times in which they couldn't help but think they'd made a terrible mistake; not on their behalf, but Bree's. It was so hard for her to adjust to an environment which wasn't dog eat dog, whereby the burning in her throat never diminished despite the amount of deer she felled.

And yet, somehow, they knew that it would eventually be okay as long as Bree believed it would be okay because they had done this before with Jasper.

Sure, Jasper was a skilled killer—a tool for war and death—but despite the amateurish way in which Bree was forged, her vampirism was found in much the same way. It was an impossibility for Esme to remove her from their coven. Their patience had allowed Jasper a new life, why could they not do the same for her?

And, despite many objections from within the coven itself, Esme stood firm in reminding them that their flaws had not seen them outcasts, Even as Edward killed multiple people during his rebelious era, even as Jasper fought not only in wars waged by vampires by humans too, he was not turned away. In fact, Edward was welcomed home.

Esme's actions and decisions are only ever based on the good of others. If Esme didn't think that Bree could cope, then she would have been removed. But seeing her there in that field with terrified, red eyes, Esme knew that Bree wanted more than the 'life' she had been thrown into without choice.

─── * &&. in the stillness of the forest, his thoughts echoed like whispers in the shadows. the weight of their fractured bond hung heavy on his shoulders, a burden he couldn't shake. despite his best efforts to bury the past, the memories lingered like ghosts in the darkness, haunting him with their relentless presence.

as he moved through the underbrush, the rhythmic cadence of his footsteps seemed to echo the beat of his troubled heart. each breath was a reminder of the distance between them, a silent testament to the divide that had grown between bree * &. him. * &. yet, even in the midst of their estrangement, he couldn't help but long for reconciliation, a glimmer of hope amidst the gloom.

but as the night stretched on, the silence remained unbroken, a stark reminder of the barriers that stood between them. * &. though he knew that words alone could never bridge the chasm that separated them, he couldn't help but wonder if there was still hope for redemption, a chance to mend what had been broken. but for now, all he could do was press on, his steps guided by the faint flicker of hope that burned within his soul.

@newbrn​ said ;; “I’m going back into hiding. I just wanted to eat some beef jerky.”

“Nope! I mean... beef jerky, fine, but you are not going back upstairs to hide.” Alice said, a grin spread across her lips as she watched Bree intently. She knew that eating wasn’t something most vampires did-- she usually only did so to keep up the ruse-- but for such a new vampire, old habits from being human, she supposed, still lingered. “We are going to go shopping. Just us girls, and I promise that nothing is going to happen.” She knew she was going to meet some resistance, but eventually they’d be in the car on the way to the closest mall.

his  mind  reeling  ,  jasper  panicked  .  he  had  TRICKED  her  somehow  .  yes  !  yes  that  was  the  reason  .  he  had  somehow  managed  to  use  his  abilities  without  knowing  &&  had  tricked  her  into  thinking  that  way  .  he  caught  edwards  gaze  ,  KNOWING  that  his  brother  had  heard  everything  that  he  thought  .  he  stared  for  a  long  moment  ,  waiting  for  a  PUNCHLINE  that  failed  to  come  .  he  shook  his  head  ,  moving  away  ,  his  brother  was  wrong  .  that  much  was  clear  .  

sitting  in  his  office  RECOUNTING  the  event  ,  he  heard  a  conversation  from  downstairs  &&  then  a  clattering  of  something  against  the  floor  .  ah  so  edward  told  bree  that  he  had  told  jasper  .  &&  INEVITABLY  how  jasper  had  handled  it  .  before  drawing  a  single  breath  ,  bree  was  standing  at  his  office  doorway  ,  an  expression  on  her  face  that  was  unreadable  ,  but  her  emotions  TENSE  as  she  approached  his  desk  .  “  it’s  okay  ,  ”  he  offered  .  “  meant  to  apologize  -  thought  i  had  GOTTEN  away  from  using  my  abilities  like  -  ”

she  quickly  INTERRUPTED  him  ,  making  jasper’s  words  seem  irrelevant  .  he  stared  ,  blinking  slightly  as  he  searched  her  emotions  .  YES  .  it  was  sincere  .  every  word  .  she  cared  for  him  like  a  sister  should  .  the  same  emotion  he  felt  whenever  she  was  in  the  presence  of  emmett  or  carlisle  .or  alice  .  it  was  STRANGE  .  he  stared  at  her  for  a  moment  ,  then  raised  an  eyebrow  .  “  WHY  ?  ”  he  asked  .  “  you  were  so  scared  of  me when  we  met  -  ”
