Chapter 2! i hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: all of the wonderful, good, characters are not mine. :( how sad.

All three of the unknown vampires converged on us with the Cullens right behind them. I tried to smile at them but I couldn't. There was something about them that made me want to slink into a crouch and attack them, but at the same time I want to wrap them in a hug and hold them forever.

The little girl came forward and said, "Hello, my name is Emily. Will you be my friend?"

The urge to play dolls or something of that sort came over me again. Her voice was a small child's voice; like she was trapped in the mindset of a girl at the age of six, and her hair was in two blonde curly ponytails. I shook it aside knowing she was probably older than me in vampire years and said, "Hello Emily, I am Bella and this is Edward. Who are your friends?"

"That's Jack," she pointed to a small black haired boy, "And that is Timothy." She pointed to a red-haired boy who was hiding behind Jasper. He was smaller than Jack and Emily but looked no younger. I smiled and looked to Edward to see what he was making of this. To my utmost surprise he seemed to be goggling over the little girl. I had never seen him like that, not after a child like her.

I wanted to speak to the family alone but that seemed impossible right now. Rosalie stepped forward and wrapped the children in a hug. "Come on kids; let's let the grown-ups have their talk."

"Okay momma." Jack said. He had a small boyish voice to match his small body, but they had power behind them. I was surprised to hear him refer Rosalie as "momma". I was going to ask her but she left with the three kids before I could say anything.

I turned to the rest of the family, "What's going on here? Where did those kids come from? I didn't know they could be changed that young."

I looked at Carlisle for information. "They can be changed at any age but it's more difficult to survive when they're very young or very old. Rosalie found them this morning and fell in love with them. You know she has always wanted children."

I nodded that was so Rosalie. I looked to Edward to see if he had any questions. He seemed lost in thought, his eyes unfocused. I knew that look; it meant that he was focusing on someone mind, trying to read their thoughts.

I waited and it wasn't long until Edward snapped out of it and said. "I can't read their minds, how strange."

"You can't read my mind, either." I reminded him. I didn't think it was weird.

"Yes but yours is different. You aren't purposefully trying to, it's natural for you. With the little ones it's like they can block my power. If I caught them unguarded I bet I could then. It's downright fishy."

"There's nothing to worry from them. Just because you can't rummage in their head doesn't make them dangerous." Emmett said defensively. I rolled my eyes, good old Emmett.

"Are they staying with us? If so, then we'll have to make room for them. Where did Rosalie find them?" I asked.

"She was driving by the local elementary school when she saw them. It stopped her in her tracks, I assure you. I'm willing to bet that they are staying with us. It's amazing; the venom from whoever changed them preserved their minds in a childlike state. They're about seventy-five years old technically but in their minds they're only about the age of six." Carlisle explained.

Alice perked up at the thought of remodeling. She started bouncing off ideas, "We can add a new floor but the kids will want to be near Rose. Or we could take out the back wall and add like four new rooms. Yes that will work and I call one of extra rooms for my clothes!"

I heard Edward chuckle in my ear and lead me to our room. This was going to be a strange week…
