The young woman put her honey blonde hair in a high ponytail and smiled at herself in the mirror. Today she was going to find her brother. She looked at her eyes to make sure they were still the gold that would say that she was safe to humans. Then she pushed herself away and walked out the door of her hotel room.
She got on her Ducati and rode to the address she had found. It was outside of the small town of Forks, Washington and she now understood why he would have a house here, it was always cloudy and/or raining here. The driveway was almost hidden in the overgrowth; it was a good way to stay hidden from humans.
She parked her bike and went to the porch, but before she even reached the steps the door opened and there stood a young man with bronze hair at the door. He frowned at her and she stopped when she saw the gold eyes. She was on someone else's territory. "What do you want?" he asked. "And don't try lying I'll know."
She sighed, "I am looking for Jasper Whitlock. I need to speak with him. Oh I'm Molly."
He looked over his shoulder, "Jazz someone's asking to talk to you." He paused for a minute. "I really don't know who she is. She said her name was Molly…"
All of a sudden another young man stood by him his honey blonde hair was slightly wavy. He looked at her and his eyes widened. "No way," he breathed. Then he turned to the other, "It's okay. I know her and I want to talk to her alone." The first nodded and turned and went inside. Jasper shut the door. "Molly? Is that really you?"
"Yes big brother," she smiled.
He smiled big and ran over. He gave her a big hug and spun her. "How? When? Why?"
She giggled, "Let's see…well I kinda got in the way of a vampire and then as he was taking my blood something else got his attention so he left me. When I was nineteen. I was going for a walk wondering what had happened to you."
He smiled and then grabbed her hand, "Come on. I'm gonna introduce you to my coven."
"O-okay…" Molly said hesitantly. She was used to be a loner and wasn't sure how to act around others, except her brother.
He led her inside as seven vampires, including the one that answered the door, looked up. Molly hung back a little bit. But Jasper didn't, "Everybody this is my little sister, Molly."
A blonde haired man smiled kindly and spoke first, "I am Carlisle Cullen." He walked over, "Very nice to meet you Molly."
Then a brunette woman walked up beside him, "I'm his wife, Esme. Nice to meet you."
They went to stand off to the side and the one who answered the door walked over, "I'm Edward"
Another brunette walked over, "And I'm his wife, Bella."
"I'm Emmett," a short haired young man said. He was big and Molly had to resist the urge to back away. A blonde walked over but she didn't say anything. "And this is my wife, Rosalie."
Then a pixie-like raven haired girl walked over. She smiled, "I'm Alice." She walked next to Jasper, "His wife." Molly couldn't help, but smile. She was glad that her brother had found a girl he wouldn't be able to live without.
Molly said, "It's very nice meeting you all. I'm thankful to see he's being taken care of. I was so scared before I found out he had become a vampire that I had lost him."
Carlisle stepped forward, "It seems you already have taken up our way of eating and I can speak for the whole family in asking you join us?" All of them nodded except for Rosalie. Molly looked at her then looked at Carlisle. "Don't mind her she just gets jealous. It's unanimous anyways so don't back out on account of her."
She looked at her brother who was giving her eyes that say 'please?' She smiled, "Alright I'll join." Jasper again embraced her and picked her up and spun her around. She laughed. He set her down and that's when she inhaled and caught the smell of a werewolf, she tensed.
"Hey everybody! Whose Ducati is that? Oh-" the person who held the stench said, looking at Molly.
"Molly it's fine. He's a…friend…" Jasper said in her ear. "He has fought with us a few times."
"Mom. Dad. I had a wonderful day," a little girl said running in and straight to Edward and Bella. There was no doubt that they were blood related.
"That's good sweetie," Bella smiled. "Was Jake good to you? Cause if he wasn't I'd get him for you."
"He was perfect and he let me ride on his back when he was wolf," she smiled.
"Good," Edward said giving a playful glare towards the wolf, which was too busy looking at Molly. "Jake, Renesmee this is Molly, Jasper's sister. Molly this is Jacob. And this little girl is Bella's and my daughter Renesmee."
"Hi," Jacob said wisely staying where he was. I answered with a nod.
Renesmee walked over and gave her a big smile, "Hi."
"Hi," Molly replied. Then she turned to her brother. "Can I get pointed to a room so I can go to the hotel room and get my stuff?"
"Oh um…come with me," Jasper said leading her up the stairs. He led her to a room and opened the door. "It's right next to mine."
"Alright I'll be back in a moment," Molly said running back down the stairs and out the door. She got on her Ducati and drove back to the hotel. There was a group standing outside it talking quietly among themselves.
She parked her bike out front and got off. A man looked at her, "Excuse me, but would you mind telling us where we are?" He had a heavy Scottish accent.
Molly frowned, "Forks, Washington."
He then said, "That's in the States." He turned to his group. "Well the anomaly changed before we got through…"
Anomaly? What is he talking about? He must be crazy or something, she thought as she went to the door. She gathered her stuff, it wasn't much; it fit in a backpack. Then she walked back out to her bike. The group had disappeared though she didn't care. She went back to the house. She grabbed one of her prehistoric creature books and turned for the stairs. When she went back down everyone was fairly spread around the house.
Jasper was sitting with Alice in the living room; they were talking quietly to each other. Molly sat in a chair and opened the book to read. She read only two pages when a roar broke out from somewhere outside. They all looked in the direction.
"What the hell was that?" Emmett was the first to speak.
Alice's gaze went blank and Jasper looked at her. Then she spoke, "It's not an animal…or at least not one from this time…"
"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked looking at her from the doorway.
Alice frowned, "It's some sort of creature and it looks like some kind of big cat. Oh wait there's five."
Molly opened her book and looked at Alice, "Can you describe it?"
"Jasper, get me a piece of paper and I'll draw one of them," she said reaching out for what she wanted. Jasper grabbed a sheet and pencil and Molly watched as her hand flew over the page. "Here you go."
Molly looked at the picture then went up for another book. She brought it back down and searched through it and was relieved when she found a matching picture. "It looks like a Smilodon. A saber-toothed cat, but don't call it a tiger. But that doesn't make sense they were around 10,000 years ago and have become extinct."
"Maybe someone's made an animatron," Carlisle said. They all started to nod except for Alice and Molly.
"It was no animatron. I didn't see anything that would solicit to that," Alice shook her head.
That's when she thought about the group she saw earlier. They had said something about coming through the wrong anomaly. "Hey I met this group of people who asked me where they were and I told them and then the person who seemed to be the oldest said that an anomaly changed…or something like that…"
"Well I vote we go check this out!" Emmett said, predictably.
Carlisle said, "I think it would be interesting. I do think we should investigate, I mean it can't really hurt us."
They all went outside where the sound came again, but it was closer. As they moved towards the stairs the source of the noise came bounding through the bushes in front of them. There standing in front of them were two of the big cats. Molly smiled this was one of her favorite prehistoric creatures.
She had a special ability, she could transform into any animal she saw. So now in seeing the Smilodon she could now transform into it. Then there was more movement and out came three smaller versions of the adults.
Then on the farther side the group Molly had seen earlier approached. They pointed guns at the animals and she flew off the porch before anyone could stop her. "Wait, don't shoot them!"
The Smilodons crouched at her. Then the man, who had spoken to her earlier, said, "Oh for the love of God. These are tranquilizer guns. We won't be hurting them, we'll just be making them safer to handle." He sighed, "Now move. We don't need to hit you."
Molly sighed and moved away reluctantly, the adults began to move off when they were both nailed in the shoulder and they fell with a thud. They walked over to the babies and managed to get them in a carrier without knocking them out.
"Now can we see what it came through? I mean we know it's nothing from this time period. I have a book on it. So don't try and make up a story about what it is and why it's here." Molly frowned at them.
One of the younger men stepped forward, "I'm not sure if we should Nick." He had brown hair and blue eyes. He had a serious look on his face.
Nick turned to him and said in a hushed tone, thinking Molly couldn't hear him, "You don't think I know that Stephen. But what choice do I have. Most likely she'll follow anyway." Then he turned back. "Fine you and your family can come. If you promise not to tell anyone about it."
Molly smiled, "Don't worry we're good at keeping secrets. We've been keeping them for a while."
They led the Cullens to just about a mile away from the house and they saw what appeared to be something that looked like a broken mirror. "Well this is it," Nick said. "Let's get them through." The Cullen boys ended up helping and when they got to the three babies they were released to follow their parents. They started for it and two got through and the anomaly disappeared; leaving the third behind.
Stephen growled and threw his arms in the air, "Now what? I mean we got the others home and I was hoping that maybe we'd get out of here sooner." The shorter haired blonde nodded.
"Aw, come on Stephen it's not all bad," another young man said. He had brown hair that was on the long-ish side for a guy. "I mean we're in the States. I recall you talking about wanting to visit the States, Abby."
"Shut up Connor," she said through her teeth, turning away from him.
Molly ignored their arguments and approached the little creature; it was shaking in fear and starting to cry out. "Hey you, you're alright. I'm not gonna hurt you. Come here." It took a step back. Molly crouched down and held out a hand, "Come on I just want to keep you safe. I promise." It walked slowly to her and she picked it up and cradled it in her arms.
"I would be careful with that. We don't know how dangerous it is," Nick cautioned.
She smiled at him, "He won't hurt me." Then she cooed at the Smilodon, "Will you?" It licked her cheek. "I'll keep a hold of him until another anomaly that is in the same time period opens up." Then she turned to Carlisle, "If it's alright with you Carlisle."
"As long as you take care of it. Oh and make sure it doesn't attack anyone," he said.
Molly agreed and then Nick said, "You guys were pretty helpful. Any chance of you wanting to join our team while we're here?"
Carlisle smiled, "We'll think about it. Where are you staying?"
"Well we were planning on going through that anomaly, but I guess we'll go to the hotel."
"I see. Would you rather stay at our house for the night? It is getting late and everything in this little town closes early." Carlisle smiled at him.
Nick turned to consult his group, "Do we trust them and stay the night. Or risk going to town and finding it closed?"
Stephen, Abby, and Connor looked at each other and then said, "Trust them for the night."
The other woman looked at Nick, "How do we know they aren't lying? How do you know it's safe?"
He looked at her a small smile on his lips, "I don't."
