Twilight is not mine.

A New Home

"What did you see, Alice?" Rosalie barked annoyingly. The family was sitting in the living room of the main house where very few residents diverted from in concern for the absent family members.

"I haven't seen anything since they got to Nahuel," Alice replied, still anxiously searching for her mate's future.

"I guess that's a good thing," Esme spoke up. "They must have been able to save Nahuel. I'm glad there was something we could do considering what he's done for us. Doesn't make sense why all these covens are being attacked like this." Rosalie shook her head.

"They shouldn't have gone. Who travels halfway around the world just to yank someone out of a fire?"

"Huilen and Nahuel traveled that same distance to tell a story for your niece's sake. Surely we can return the favor?" Edward reminded her. Rosalie just looked away from him. She loved Renesmee more than anything, though the idea her husband was away was unsettling.

"I just don't understand why they have to be gone so long," Alice cried in frustation. "I can't see anything! Can't it just be a quick, 'kill the enemy' gesture and come home?"

"I'm sure Nahuel's just trying to be hospitable," Edward said. Edward then caught a thought that brought a smile to his face. "Or maybe we can ask them ourselves why they took so long." Alice caught on the comment quicker than the others and went to wait just outside the house. A few minutes later, two familiar faces appeared approaching the house, followed by a third unfamiliar face. The family lit up, relieved of the men's safety and eager for the reunion. Jasper quickly approached Alice and touched his forehead to hers as she gently touched his cheek. Rosalie ran to Emmett and threw her long legs around his thick torso.

"Good to see ya, Babe," Emmett remarked as he put his wife down. She gave a soft punch in the stomach, then embraced him with a kiss.

"It seems you've brought a guest," Carlisle brought up, after the hugs and kisses were passed around.

"Uh.. yeah. Guys, this is Sage, Nahuel's sister," Emmett introduced. Sage politely looked up at the curious and confused vampires and managed to give a small smile. Esme was the first to react.

"Let's get you inside. You must be tired after your trip." She gave her a contagious motherly smile and taking her arm and back, guided her to inside the house. As she passed, she gave a confused look, which he returned, before continuing inside.

"What is it, Edward?" Carlisle inquired.

"I.... I think she can hear our thoughts."

"Is that possible?" Bella asked. "Can two vampires have the same gift?"

"Not that I know of," Carlisle responded. "The mind is so different for everyone. Even if gifts were similar, there would be acute differences."

"So what happened? Where's Nahuel?" Alice asked after a moment of silence, changing the subject. Jasper gave her an intense look before responding.

"We were too late. The vampire wanted to get into their heads before killing them, that's for sure. He had set the cabin on fire with the girl inside as if to call Huilen and Nahuel home to kill them. But it seemed like he wanted the girl alive." No one spoke as if to give Nahuel and Huilen their moment of silence.

"Uh.." Bella spoke up. "Not that she's unwelcome, but why did you guys bring back Sage?" Jasper and Emmett looked at each, then Emmett rubbed the back of his neck with an uneasy expression on his face.

"It didn't seem like she had anywhere else to go and it didn't seem right after failing to save her family to just leave her," Jasper explained. "Even if it's just to get her on her feet, we thought it best to bring her back."

"Well, I think considering what her family has done for us, we should do what we can for her," Carlisle offered. Edward glanced back at Emmett suspiciously, whose uneasy expression hadn't changed.

Okay, this chapter was quite bad, but the next one is where all the action happens, so I'll put that up soon. Please review!
