My head whipped around to the direction the scent was coming from.

"Stop" I commanded my family. They all screeched to a stop and turned to look at me. Why would a human be in the woods??

"What is it, Rebecca?" Will asked, concerned. I looked at my family and looked back towards the scent.

"Smells like a human" Matt answered. I started towards the scent but a hand on my shoulder stopped me, I turned around only to see that Will had stopped me and my family looked hesitant.

"They're not your singer, right?" Megan asked.

"No, I'm just curious as to why a human would be in the woods alone" I replied. They all nodded and I carried on towards the scent.

After about a mile, we came to a Willow tree that had a rope going around it, 10 inches up. My eyes widened. I followed the rope and came to a halt.

At the end of the rope was tied to a wrist that was connected to a little girl, around a year-and-a-half old. I stood in front of the girl and bend down to her height. She had her face downwards and brown locks draped her face. She was so pale. As my family caught up with me, they gasped.

"Is she alive??!!" Jackie asked, frightened.

"Yes, she's alive, there is no spirit around here. She wouldn't have moved on so fast, they have to have their funeral first." Sarah answered. Of course she'd know about that kind of stuff.

"Jason?" I questioned, pleadingly. He nodded and held his hand out in Jackie's direction. She took it. I looked at him, he was in pure concentration on the little girl.

"Nothing, Nada, Zilch." He stated. We all looked at him, confused. He noticed.

"I can't read her." With that he let go of Jackie's hand, a sign that he gave up. I turned back to the little girl and touched her. She sturred and opened her eyes. Once she saw me, she shot straight up, scared.

"Shhh, It's Ok, I'm not going to hurt you." I cooed. She whimpered slightly. I stared into her big bright blue eyes and smiled. It was only when I took a look at her face that I noticed duck-tape over her mouth and a scar down her left cheek, other than that, she was beautiful. I needed to get the duck-tape off her without hurting her.

"Matt, please" I pleaded. He nodded and froze her. I frowned as I took the tape off her mouth. Her ocean blue eyes still looking into my topaz ones. Once I was done with the tape, I moved onto her wrists and took the rope off them. How can someone tie up a little girl and just leave her alone in the woods?!

When I finished, Matt unfroze her. She flinched and took her right wrist in her left hand; rubbing it better. Then she touched her mouth with her right hand. She looked up into my eyes and smiled a little thankful smile. While I full on smiled.

"What is your name?" I asked. She took a deep breath and answered;

"Awexis" She answered, her voice cracked half way through the word. Alexis, what a beautiful name to match a beautiful little girl.

"I'm Rebecca. These are, Will, Megan, Sarah, Jason, Jackie, Thomas and Matthew." They each smiled and waved once I said their name. She looked up in shock. I don't think she knew they were there.

"Pwease don't hurt me" she cried in a small voice. I was confused, I would never hurt a human, let alone a human child.

"Don't worry, sweety. We won't hurt you" I cooed. "Can you stand?"

Alexis nodded, yes. Then stood up.

"Do you want to come with me?" She nodded, yes, again. I smiled and picked her up. "close your eyes, please" She obliged.

We ran home as fast as possible. I set her down on the couch.

"Thomas, I need her out for a few hours, not in a coma though." Alexis' eyes widened as I said that. She sunk back into the couch, obviously scared.

"You said you wouwdn't hurt me" She accused.

"No, sweety, we aren't going to touch you, don't worry" I cooed, as she fainted, into a deep slumber for at least an hour.

"Thanks Tom." I smiled at him. "Can we keep her, pretty please??!!" I begged Will, seeing at though he is the head of the coven/family. I put on my best puppy pout and looked at him. He fell for it. HA! I'm good.

"Fine, but she's growing up to be your responsibility, I've got enough" He mumbled the last part. Matt hugged me.

"She can grow up to be our child?" He whispered into my ear. I nodded and smiled, then blew in his ear. Even though he's a vampire, his ears have always been his weak spot.

"Ok, we need to go shopping for food and baby stuff. Can you keep her knocked out?" I stated, then asked Tom.

"Sure." He replied. Matt and I went to the local supermarket and got all the food we needed and put it in the boot of my silver Volvo XC90. After we got it into the boot, we sped off toward Babys'R'Us. I know what your thinking, WTF??!! Well let me explain. I'M 17!!!!!!! I've never had a child so I don't know what to do, I'm following my instincts. If your not thinking that, sorry for my outburst.

Anyway, we went into Babys'R'Us and bought EVERYTHING. Cots, Hampers, Bins, Nappies etc. And we piled them into the Volvo. On the way back, the motorway was empty because it was dark, so I turned the lights off and floored it.

Once we got into the drive, Matt ran up to Will and asked him to move the objects into the spare bedroom which is now Alexis', it's great because its right next to ours. After Will moved the objects into her room. I walked into the living room to find Alexis just waking up.
