Chapter 6
(Crystal's POV)
I sat in the kitchen eating the food my mother made for me. Since I'm half human I can consume human food too. My mother made me chicken ptarmigan, with pasta, and string beans.
"Mmmm, this is delicious mom."I told her and took another bite out of my chicken.
"Thank you, sweet heart."My mother told me.
I continued to eat my food when I heard my father, and my siblings come into the house.
Dad walked over to me and gave me a kiss on my forehead and asked, "Are you okay, princess?"
I swallowed my string beans. "Yes daddy, I healed myself up, and mom gave me a cup of animal blood to help me regain my strength." I said.
"That's good, darling. Now, where is Jasper? I thought he came back home?" He asked me curiously.
I looked around and didn't see Jasper anywhere. "I'm not sure; I know he was here five minutes ago." I closed my eyes, concentrating on the pull that I felt in my chest that connected me to Jasper and felt that it was pulling me outside of the sliding glass doors and into the woods. I opened my eyes and made a signal with my thumb towards the doors and the forest. "He went that way. Maybe he went to go find Edward?" I told him.
Daddy let out an exasperated sigh and turned to the little pixie of a vampire. "Alice, did you see where Jasper went?"My dad asked her.
"He went to go talk to Edward." She told him, confirming my assumption.
Daddy sighed in exasperation once again and turned to the big burly vampire leaning at the entryway of the kitchen. "Emmett, go bring them back here now." He told Emmett.
Emmett nodded and ran out of the kitchen and out of the house to go get Jasper and Edward.
I had just finished the last of my food when I heard a loud crash outside of the house. I jumped up out of my seat and followed the rest of the family outside to see Emmett on ground with a tree under him.
"What the hell happened?" I asked Emmett, trying not to laugh at the ridiculous display that was presented before me.
"Jasper and Edward are fighting and Jasper is seriously kicking Edward's ass!" Emmett told us, though there was excitement somewhat peaking out through his golden eyes behind his expression as his mate, Rosalie, tended to him.
I sighed, looking over at the rest of the family, who wore uneasy, anxious expressions. I didn't want to make any assumptions since I would be dealing with the most deadly vampire who ever walked the earth.
"Go ahead, Tally." Alice said. "You will be the only one that Jazzy will allow to approach him when he is in this kind of defense mode." She clarified when the rest of the family looked over at her, though Mom seemed to already know this as well.
"I don't think it's possible for him to ever hurt you, Crystal. Even in his most animalistic state." Daddy agreed, though some part of me knew this and allowed me to have no fear going into this situation.
I ran off to bring my Jasper back to the house.
When I caught a whiff of their combined scents, as well as the pull in my chest lessening, I knew I was close by. I finally came to section where I heard bodies colliding with one another it sounded so much like thunder. I stopped and saw Jasper on top of Edward growling loudly at him and saying something about not laying a hand on me again.
"Jasper, let him go! He's not worth it." I told Jasper while resting a hand on his shoulder.
Jasper looked up at me lovingly and then looked back down at Edward with another deathly glare. He then shoved Edward away from him, creating a perfect Edward shaped indent into the ground and pulled me into his arms, taking in my scent as if it was meant to calm him down. I placed a kiss at the under side of his jaw before I propelled myself up and on to his front with my legs wrapped around his waist. He looked down at me with a grin and ran with me back to the house.
"I'm proud of you, Major." I told him adoringly and gave him a kiss on the chin.
He smiled at me and held me even closer to him but not enough to crush my bones or anything. We had finally made it back to the house where I saw the rest of the family.
My mom, and dad were holding each other, so was Emmett and Rosalie, and I could see Alice sitting on top of the stairs waiting for us to come back.
"Come on, tiger. Let's go into the living room. This way I can explain to you all about everything and tell you my story." I told him.
He carried me into the house and passed by everyone, who was anxiously waiting for our arrival and into the living room. I could hear Edward was not too far behind us as he approached the large white mansion.
Jasper sat down on the loveseat with me in his lap, twisting me around so that my back was not to his chest. It seemed to me that he didn't want to let me go just yet – not that I blamed him. I felt the exact same way as the pulling sensation in my chest connected me to this fine soldier of a vampire.
I glanced up when I heard the rest of my family piling into the living room.
"Okay, everyone I would like to explain to you how our daughter came to be and I'm not talking about the birds and the bees." My dad spoke to them all.
Everyone looked up at my dad with curiosity. "Okay, Crystal was born in 1924, but was consummated in 1923. You see, I came across Esme and saved her from her abusive ex husband." My dad told them. "During this time, Edward was in his rebellion stage, and left to go on his own about a year pr so before." He continued.
"After I saved Esme, she remembered me as her doctor who helped her when she was 16 yrs with a broken leg after she fell out of a tree. I fell in love with Esme when she was 16, knowing that she was my mate, but I knew she was too young for me and the supernatural life then, but when I saw her again looking in absolute distress, I knew I had to let myself be known by her." He said looking adoringly at my mother.
"But what your father didn't know was that I was in love with him even when I was sixteen. I used to find any excuse that I could to go to the emergency room to see him, but somehow, we would always miss each other.
"That day when I finally saw him again, I thought he was a gift sent from heaven cove to same me, looking like the angel that he turned out to be." My mother said as she continued to hold my father's hand and look at him in a lovingly manner while speaking to all of us. "During the time Carlisle saved me, we made a plan to make people think that I was dead and committed suicide because of my abusive ex husband so that nobody would ever come looking for me." My mother explained, and then continued, "It was about two months later when Carlisle and I started a relationship together the way that mates were supposed to be with each other. We knew that we couldn't live without one another, and so, we got married two months later, and during the honeymoon we seemed to create a life."
"A life that we never should have been able to create. But, of course, I was still human during this time and I still was growing and changing and continued my menstrual cycle." She told them. "You see, Carlisle and I never knew that vampire males could still have children, it just seems that only the female vampires can't have them since they were the ones that had to carry the baby through to term. I was so excited, because there was something else that I wanted to have my entire life and that was a child. My ex husband didn't want anything to do with children and called them obnoxious noise makers. However, Carlisle made that happen for me, much to his befuddlement." She said and smiled at me in a tender manner. I smiled back at my mother, and father, feeling the blush rise to my cheeks.
"However, carrying Crystalline wasn't easy. You see, since Crystal was a half-vampire and half-human hybrid, she had the strength of a vampire and it was really hard on my body. She had the most powerful kick that seemed to damage some part of my body every time she moved. I had the worst bruises all over my stomach and broke a couple ribs. I was also losing a lot of weight, because I couldn't keep anything down. But one day, we found out that she was special." My mother said to them and continued, "One day, Crystal broke my spine, and the pain was excruciating. I was on the verge of death, but then, something amazing happened and that something was my darling Crystal healing my body with her powers." She said. "It felt like a warm, pleasant heat filling my body from the inside out and before I knew it, I was able to walk around to my full strength, even though I still wasn't able to really eat."
My dad then took over for my mother and said, "From that day on, we knew that she had the ability to heal, and that helped her mother immensely during the time that Esme was carrying her in her womb. But a nearly a month later Crystal started to rip her way through Esme womb, and Esme couldn't seem too take the birthing very well. There was so much blood everywhere that I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing I could do and that was bite her everywhere I could get to, which were her wrists, arms, hands, neck, and I even injected her in the heart with my venom." He told us.
"I wasn't so sure if this would work, because her heart was slowing down so rapidly. I couldn't bear to watch her die, but in the background, all I could hear was our darling daughter wailing in the background. And I knew she knew that her mother was in pain. But I just held her close to me. I didn't even think to allow her to try to help with the healing process. I guess I was in too much of a tizzy." He said thoughtfully before bringing his attention back to the group. "I knew our baby was hungry, so I gave her mixture of baby formula and animal blood, figuring that since she was half vampire, that those would be the nutrients that she would need. I had to put baby clothes on her too." He told them again."Little did I know, she would outgrow them faster than I could buy them." He smirked at me.
I blushed as I looked towards Jasper and saw that he was completely immersed in the story, but he was also happy that I was born, because then he would have never met his mate – just a guess by the way that he was holding me and listening so intently.
"It took about four days of excruciating pain for me because of my injuries. I felt like my body was on fire, and there was no way of putting the fire out. But finally, the day came and I gad awoken. I could see everything in a different view. But I could tell that there was someone else in the room with me, and then there he was, my husband in all his vampire glory. My human eyes never did him justice, not until I saw him for the first time as a vampire." My mother told them as she looked into Daddy's eyes with a love that I had always envied before I found my Jasper.
"All I could think about was the intense pain in the back of my throat and Carlisle could tell. So, he smiled at me and told me that the burning in my throat meant I was thirsty. He continued to show me the outside, where we ran into the forest so that he could show me how to hunt."She said happily.
Carlisle jumped in at this point. "However; we were lucky that Crystal was still asleep during this time. I didn't like leaving her there by herself, but it was the only way, so that I wouldn't have to risk her being hurt by Esme during a hunt." He frowned for a moment before he continued. "She was a very well behaved newborn and it was easy for us since we didn't need sleep. She was so smart and was able to understand that everything would be OK and that we would always return for her."
"Except for when I discovered my fire gift." I mumbled, bringing the rest of the group's attention towards me.
