A/N: I don't own any of the original characters. Those belong to the talented Stephenie Meyer. I thought I'd give this idea a whirl. I think Rosalie also deserves to be happy. What happens when she finds a baby who no-one knows where the baby came from but the past is never far behind. Crappy summery; hope you enjoy it. Please feed back!
Chapter 1
I was floating, feeling secure in my home, a place I've known since I have use of reason. But the space was becoming very tight, to a point I couldn't move. I can hear faint voices outside my cocoon. "Please, don't hurt him…her," the caring voice said in an urgent plea. Her voice felt warm to me and I instantly felt happy. I moved to show her my feeling of happy but instead I heard a disgruntle noise. I froze.
"Oh, no Mary. I wouldn't dare hurt my experiment," the gruff sinister voice scared me as I jilted away from it. Mary? Is that the one who holds me?
But a disgruntled froze me again. I realized that every time I moved I hurt the one that holds me. I stay still not wanting to hurt her, the warmness that I always felt safe with. "Experiment? Richard! This is your baby," the one who holds me said in astonishment. So I was a baby? Is that's what I was called? Or experiment?
"Experiment." he said with finality. "I want to see what a perfect creature like me could create with a fragile human like you," his laughter that followed almost made me shiver in terror but with the fear of hurting the one who holds me I stayed still, frozen in my spot. "I'll be back tomorrow. To see how my experiment is going. I'm going hunting or else I'd feed on you. Don't move!" I didn't get why he said it. He laughed once again, "Like you can!" In a fast movement I didn't hear anything but a beating noise that I loved so much.
"Don't worry baby, I won't let anything happen to you," the one who holds me assured me and once again I felt safe. I wanted to move in joy to show her I can hear her wonderful voice, I couldn't. We both shifted at the same time, as if she was moving. Her breathing had become harsh, I was still frozen in my spot feeling that me not moving helped her in a way. "I need you do something for me," I wasn't sure if she was talking to me, I didn't hear anybody coming in. "I love you and I'm not sure if its your time but I refuse that monster to see you, I need you safe." her voice tremble and it made me sad. I stretched my hand out, not by a lot, and tapped the inside wall of my home, cocoon. "Yeah, baby that's it. I love you too," she sniffle. But a happy one. I took my hand away now scared I would hurt her. "I need you to come out," she said with a scared voice, like how I felt when the gruff voice spoke.
She wants to see me! I felt joy, to much that I couldn't help but tried to swirl around through the tightness."Oh, gosh!" the one who hold's me said in anguish. "Baby, not yet. I need to get away from here. To bring you somewhere safe." I stopped my movement immediately. "That's it," her voice fragile, hurt.
I could hear faint thuds, not sure where they come from. The beating, the noise that I loved was slower than usual. What did that mean? I stretched my hand again doing the same movements, "Almost there," I heard a tap back, I was sure it was her.
With all the movements by body felt weird. My cocoon tightens and I felt scared. I kicked for all I got. "Oh, please. Let me get farther!" she pleaded fearful. But I couldn't stop it. Is like my cocoon was trying to push me out. I stretched my arms at the side to stop me from going down. "A-almost… there," she gasp. I could feel that she almost fell while I was being pushed down by an unknown force.
With one hand firmly trying to hold off the pushing the other taped the wall. "This as far… a-as I'm going." and I felt like I hit something hard. "Now," she gasped out. With that I let the walls of my cocoon push me out. Between the blackness I saw a shinny thing at the end. I heard a scream being muffled but I concentrated on getting out being with the one who held me. I was happy that I was finally going to see instead of hearing only her voice.
I shut my eyes hard, feeling my skull squeeze itself from a small place. Then all at once my body landed on a scratchy and slushy place. My eyes popped open as a warmness surrounded me. Two fragile bony arms hugged me. And then I saw her. She was beautiful. Sure, she looked pale, unhealthy but still beautiful with blond hair and green eyes looking down at me. "So beautiful," she whispered and tired smile appeared. "Hi my beautiful Annalise," she hugged me close. "My baby," Annalise. Baby.
That's who I was because that's what the one who held me calls me. I felt so happy here that the air around us became very warm and a huge yellow ball at the distance shined even more. She winced as she dragged us closer to a long thing.
"Be safe. I will always love you," her voice was non-existent that I felt a little sad and suddenly the yellow ball was covered by a fluffy thing. Shaking she placed me down, covered in something, like a different cocoon. I felt her thin lips kiss my head. She places something on me but I don't know what it is. "I will always love you," Something warm left my eyes and it wouldn't let me see. Then she was gone. Where is she? I hear something whimper as the beating, the thumping that I loved was slower until it stopped.
I felt alone. I curl myself closer to the tall thing, where is the one who held me? I felt scared as a something loud cracked from somewhere and millions of something small fell at once making me wet. I cried. I wanted for the one who held me to come and take me in her arms where I'm safe. I yelled louder as the cracking sound shook the sky.
I felt calmer after a while as the tinny things stop falling. I was tired. I lay still by the wet growth that surrounded me. I closed my eyes and drifted hoping that the one who held me would be there when I open my eyes…
I hear a song, chirping is the sound. My eyes flutter open feeling alone again. But I feel different, like my legs and arms can move faster. I play with the long green thing that tickles my face. I smile, it feels soft. Before I know it I'm on my belly, the breeze cold biting my skin. I face feels like it creases, then the wind that surrounds my body is warm and welcoming. My legs feel stronger as I stretch a little at the same time I stretch my arms. I'm moving! Something tickly in me leaves my mouth. Like tiny bells. Was that coming from me? That nice sound? I do it again and it makes me smile. I keep moving smelling something; my throat feels scratchy which I don't know why. The soft green stuff tickly my legs and that sound come out again.
The warm wind blows harder as I move and do that nice sound. All the chirping come at once, I look up. Some flying things come out. I want to that! I spread my arms like them but I fall on my face. The slushy thing comes inside my mouth. I spit it out. It was nasty. I fall on my back and the noise comes out of me again. My legs swing up and I notice my feet. I go back on my belly to move and I smell that thing again. My throat starts hurting. Suddenly I see something big, brown roars. It smells good, but I tremble. I'm hungry. It stares at me the way the one who held me did but this time it was scary. I tremble, shake in my spot and I scream. The sky becomes dark, the wind cold. The warm thing falls out of my eyes and rolls down my cheeks ending in my mouth, it was salty.
The big, brown thing comes closer and I shut my eyes. I don't want to see; I want Mary. The steps are a low thud like that gruff voice, heavier even. But then I heard a hiss, growl a different one. My tiny hands tremble covering my eyes. The roar was one of anguish, the sky crackled almost angry. It shook the whole place again. The hissing was stronger as did the roaring from the big brown thing.
My crying stopped as did the cracking sound of the sky when I couldn't hear anything. Only the wind blowing between warm and cold. I jumped at the feeling of something cold, but then at the same time it was familiar like I belonged. I kept my eyes closed as the cold hands cradled me like the one who held me did. This made me smile as I opened my eyes. What I saw was an angel; she was stunning that it even hurt to look. Her blond hair reminded me of the one who held me but her eyes where different, but she was still beautiful. Even though it looks like the one who held me I knew it wasn't her. The warm thing left my eyes again.
"Shh, it's alright. Everything will be ok," her voice was like chiming bells. Very reassuring. I smiled and she smiled too, which was beautiful like her. She held me close and whooshed from the spot. Everything passed in a blur but at the same time I could see the green stuff everywhere, the flying things, the smell that made my throat hurt.
Before I knew it she stopped in front of a gigantic thing which I didn't know what it is. Slower she went towards it.
An equally beautiful person stood there. Her hair darker than the one who is holding me right now. But their eyes were the same. "Rosalie?" I looked back at the one who looked like the one who held me and smiled. She was Rosalie, I was Annalise. These are names.
"I found her Esme," Rosalie's voice was low. There was no need to speak up the way the one who held me used when speaking to the gruff sinister voice.
Esme gasped, "Found her? Where?" she caught me staring and smiled lovingly. My face felt hot for being caught staring.
"In the forest. She was going to be attacked by a bear," the big brown thing is a bear. Where I was is a forest.
Esme gasped once again. She looked at me with sadness. "Poor thing. I wonder what happened to her parents. And her clothes?" her voice was equally beautiful bells.
Rosalie look at me and here eyes stunned me, the way she looked at me was almost equal to the one who held me. I smiled as I touched her soft cold cheek. "She was like this. Naked, unprotected." my tiny hand moved side to side as my smile grew.
"I should call Carlisle," Esme whispered but I could still hear her. They didn't know.
"Ok, I should feed her. Where is Edward? Maybe Edward can tell me what she's thinking,"
"Oh you know where he is Rosalie. He is with Bella and Nessie in the cottage," Bella, Nessie. I'm trying to remember everything I can. "But I suppose we can call him. I'm sure he'd be interested with all this. Have you thought what Emmett might say?"
Rosalie stayed silent. "Esme," she sighed and it sounded sad. "You know I cant keep her. She would need to grow up in a human family, grow up normally." Human? I've heard that before.
"Ok, I'll be right back." and my eyes widen to see her gone so fast. I almost didn't catch it.
"Are you hungry. Oh right, you don't know what I'm saying. Not like Nessie, I keep forgetting," my face wrinkles again. I understand what she says. I nod my head. "What?" she gasps. "Are you hungry?" she asks again cautiously. I nod again. "You can understand me?" I nod again with a smile. "Esme?" she called, her voice still low.
"Yes?"
"Does she smell human?" I wanted to know too.
Esme was silent for a while. "No," she said surprised. "She smells different."
"She understands me," Rosalie said grinning wider.
"Like-"
"-Nessie," Rosalie finished. So I was like Nessie, whatever that meant.
