"She's a hybrid. She's a living, breathing creature. Do you hear her heart beating? She is alive." Edward said.
"Impossible." I murmured, Thinking only of my maternal mother and how her want for a child was the end of her.
"You have an interesting mind, Kate. And your sister, Irina thought the same thing when they saw Renesmee." Edward said.
"Irina was here? We haven't seen her in months."
"She's on her way to the Volturi. This is why we called you all here."
Eleazar, always the giving one, asked "You're not expecting us to fight, are you?" I shot him a glare. This was our fault for even mentioning the wolves to Irina again in the first place. We had brought down so much pain on the Cullen family, I'd be surprised if they ever spoke to us again after this.
"That's a rather harsh way of thinking about it, Kate. And no, Eleazar we wouldn't ask you to risk your lives for us. "
I balked, but recovered quickly.
"If it comes to that, I will fight for you and your family. For all of our family. I speak for myself, of course." I said.
"Do you think so little of me, sister?" Tanya asked me, grinning.
"We will fight." Carmen said, "All of us." She added, looking at Eleazar.
"We hope it won't have to come to that." Edward reasoned.
"But we will stand by you, no matter the cost." I said boldly.
"Thank you." Edward said sincerely, looking at his daughter. I heard more vampires approaching us and crouched down, prepared to protect the beautifully rare creature.
"It's just Emmett." Edward said, too late. I grabbed the large vampire's wrists and stunned him, sending him to the ground.
"Oh, crap! I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you." I said apologetically.
"That was freaking awesome!" Emmett exclaimed. I sighed, relieved that I hadn't caused him too much pain. Edward chuckled. It was then that I noticed Rosalie, the blonde female in the Cullens' group. Standing next to her was a fascinating looking man with brown hair and a crooked grin on his face, like everyone else was at the butt end of his jokes.
"More golden eyes here, ay?" He asked, pointing his remark at Edward and my coven. His faint British accent didn't sound cliche at all.
"We drink animal blood. We don't want to be monsters." I said proudly. "Impressive." He said, grinning sideways at me. It was then that Rosalie stepped next to me and gave me a funny look. We had never gotten along. She was far too vain and thought she was superior to everyone else.
"Kate, this is Garrett. He's a nomad and will be staying with us for a while." She said to me, like I was eight years old. I raised my hand onto her shoulder and felt her body shudder underneath my touch. A hiss escaped her lips.
"What was that for?" She exclaimed. "
Don't talk to me like that. Ever." I said. Emmett grabbed her before she could retaliate.
"How did you do that?" Garrett asked me.
"Practice." I grinned.
