Chapter 7

APOV

I managed to count to 123 before Harry snarled and shifted. I took a step back away from the angry panther that was stalking towards me. I shifted as well and watched as everyone's eyes widen as they took in the giant six foot tall lion that was stood in front of them. Harry paused then bowed his head and changed back, "Sorry Annie. I don't really have any control when people mention the Malfoy name. How did you find out?" I sighed and motioned for Harry to sit down. "Well earlier today I took Aría to where she used to live with her parents until they were killed about a month ago. While we were there I could smell the presence of three men that were not in the family. Aría took me outside and showed me where they had been killed."

I paused for a moment to let that sinks in, Esme began to sniffle. Bella placed her arm around her and began to stroke her hair. Carlisle held her hand and looked slightly angry. "What happened next?" He asked. I sighed and looked at him. "I performed a spell that would harness the magic that was used in the murders to show me what had happened. I saw everything, heard everything and what I saw really pissed me off. I can't believe that people are trying this again. But that isn't even the worst of it." I sighed, "This is where it all gets incredibly FUBAR." I looked over to the couch holding my daughter and took a deep breath. I looked at Jasper and let go of the hold on my emotions letting him feel everything.

"Darlin'?" He asked me and I shook my head. I took a deep breath and began, "The fire call that just came through was from my accounts manager. He was calling for two reasons. The first was to inform me that Dumbledore was trying to get into Harry's vault. Don't worry he hasn't and he won't ever you know that, the goblins are too good at their job." I told Harry when he began to growl. "The second larger issue is that of the fact that Jasper and I have a daughter. According to my manager, I was followed back into the past and someone stole our DNA and taking that created our daughter in this time period. She was then given away as a weapon to Riddle and then ended up in another family who ended up down in Brazil. Where they were killed." I paused; I knew my emotions would be going everywhere. Jasper stood up and walked towards me.

"It's Aría, isn't it? They fucked with not only our lives but hers as well didn't they? Darlin'? I don't blame you. I never will but when I get my hands on the person or persons who did this to us they will die. Slowly and painfully." I nodded at him and turned away and walked to the window, staring out at the setting sun. I felt someone come up behind me and wrap their arms around me. I inhaled Jasper's scent and relaxed back into his embrace. I knew he was feeling all my emotions. I let go of the hold on my sorrow and suddenly the sky darkened and rain thundered down. Jasper's hold tightened and I placed my hands over the top of his and gripped them tightly.

"You won't be alone in their deaths, I don't care that they fucked with my life, I am used to it. I am however furious that they fucked with both you and Aría. The last ting dey will know in dis life is how cruel I can be!" My Cajun accent seeping into my voice. The thunder echoed my statement and the whole house shook as the waves began to grown in size. It all faded away as I felt a wave of calm wash over me from Jasper. I turned back around and took a deep breath. "Thank you cher, I am sorry to have lost my temper like that" I said as I turned to the Cullen's, pulling my emotions back under control, but letting my eyes flash in anger. "There will be hell to pay for whoever dared to do this to my family. In fact there will be more than hell to pay. I will not however ask you to become involved in this." I told them as I moved next to Aría and stroked the hair away from her face.

"You do not have to ask us, we will be helping you bring whoever did this to justice, in whatever form you deem necessary. Jasper is part of our family and by extension so are you, Harry and now Aría. We protect our own. I know that we didn't get off to the best of starts but I hope that from now on you will consider us part of your family." Carlisle said, I looked at the others and saw them nodding their heads in agreement. I looked at Harry and raised an eyebrow. He nodded. I smiled slightly. "Well in that case I hope you're prepared for this, Harry and I aren't the easiest people to live with. Me more specifically." Esme grinned and then pointed at the four boys. "What and you think living with these four is easy?" I laughed at their shouts of protest, and then looked down when I felt a hand on my arm.

"Why did you put me to sleep?" Aría whispered looking up at me. I sighed, smoothing her hair down. I looked over at Jasper and he knelt down next to us. "We needed to talk about a few things darlin' that would have been very confusing and upsetting for you. I'm sorry if I made you mad, but I didn't want you getting upset." His hand joined mine where it was resting on Aría's head. She frowned slightly and looked between the two of us. "Is this about why I don't look like my mom and dad, but I do look like you? Are you my real parents?" She demanded, growling slightly. I blinked and looked at Jasper, who nodded, equally as speechless as I was. "Aría, you... I... Yes. Yes that was what this was about. I was filling Jasper and the family in on your story and then about the fire call I had. You have to understand sweetheart, that until I got that call I didn't realise that I had a daughter. If I had you would have grown up with me from birth."

I looked down at her and held my breath, worrying about how she would take it. I let it out in a gust as she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. "I know mama, I know that you and papa would have come and found me as soon as you knew. Does this mean I get to stay with you forever now?" She asked into my neck. I drew a breath to answer when everything began to blur around the edges and I was sucked into a strange new vision. I was aware of Jasper and Aría calling for me, but all I could see was a courtroom full of people, with three people in chains in the middle and a woman sat on a huge chair wearing a deep purple medieval dress and crown. The man stood next to her had grey robes on. It was so unusual that I could only make out the figures, but not who they were. It was like I was looking at the scene from under water.

I blinked and my living room came back into focus. I could feel Aría's tears splashing onto my neck and I was looking into Jasper's worried eyes. I drew in another breath and stroked Aría's head. "Shh sweetie it's ok. This sometimes happens. My visions surprise me, this one was more powerful than most of the ones I usually get. That means that it will happen. Nothing will change it. I am sorry if I scared you. It wasn't my intention." I looked over at everyone. Harry was pale and it seemed like he was trying to get out of Peter's grasp. I smiled at him and he stopped struggling and leant back against Peter. I looked back over at Jasper and my smile slipped slightly. I shook my head when he quirked an eyebrow and mouthed "Later." He nodded and smiled slightly.

I looked down at Aría and she sniffed, "You aren't leaving me are you? You aren't sick are you?" I smiled and shook my head, hugging her closer to me. "No sweetie I can't get sick. And I already told you nothing could make me leave you. I am in your life forever now. You won't be able to get rid of me." She wrapped her arms tightly around my neck and smiled. "Good. Now I want to play a game. Everyone has to play I want to see who can build the best sandcastle!" She looked at us all pleadingly. I nodded and Jasper smiled. "I think we can agree to that. Shall we go out and split into teams?" Aría squealed and jumped up clapping her hands. We laughed as she darted out the door and Emmett ran after her.

We all followed at a more sedate pace. We got down to the beach and looked at Aría. "So what are the teams for this then, querida?" Jasper asked her as we reached the beach. She tilted her head and looked between us all. "Girls on one team and boys on the other." We nodded and we separated into the two groups. The boys immediately huddled around and began talking ideas; Of course we could hear exactly what was being said. I smirked and surrounded us in a sound proof bubble. "Right then ladies, the boys can't see us properly and they certainly can't hear us, what's the plan?" We all looked at each other, thinking. "How about a tree like in the jungle with an animal that represents each of us?" Aría said after a little bit. We nodded and Esme and I began to build the tree.

"What can we do?" Bella asked, I looked up from making the sand wetter. "Would you and Aría start making the trunk of the tree? Rose will you help us make the top?" They nodded and we worked on getting the tree finished. Once we had finished that we stopped. "What animal is everyone going to be?" Esme asked. Aría looked at her and said, "I'm going to be a leopard." I smiled and looked at her, "Well I think that I should be a mama leopard, don't you?" She nodded and looked at Rose. "Aunty Rose should be a panther and Nana Esme can be a scarlet macaw and Aunty Bella can be a blue one." Aría stated and we nodded, she had chosen well. "Um can some help me with mine; otherwise it's going to look a complete mess?" Bella said, Esme nodded and moved to help Bella put her macaw together on one of the higher branches.

I stood at the bottom of the tree and pointed to an area, "This ok for you, açúcar?" Aría nodded and we began to make my leopard stood at the bottom of the tree, when we had finished, Aría whispered, "Can we put my leopard sat in front of you?" I nodded and sculpted the sand in front of the two front paws to look like Aría did in her animal form. When we had finished we stood back and looked at the whole picture. Our leopards were hidden in the ferns at the base of the tree, half way up the tree Rose's panther lounged on a branch, its tail hanging down underneath and finally up in the canopy were Esme and Bella's two macaws. "Pigmentum." I whispered and we watched as the sand took the natural colours of the creatures.

I cancelled the bubble spell and Aría yelled, "We've finished." At this the boys turned around and looked back at theirs, conferring as to whether theirs was finished as well. They finally decided it was and then we walked over to look at their sculpture, as they walked over to ours. I cast a silent preservation spell on it as we walked, Harry raised an eyebrow and I shrugged. I turned back around when I heard Rose snort. In front of us was Darth Vader looking up at us out of a hole in the ground, with Yoda stood at the top smiling smugly and subtly flipping him the bird. We all looked at each other and burst out laughing.

We all regrouped again back in the middle and looked at Aría. "So who one then, my favourite niece?" Emmett said, fluttering his eyelashes at Aría. We all laughed and Rose cuffed him around the back of the head. Aría thought for a minute before saying, "Well ours is the most artistic and yours is the funniest, so I think we both win!" She exclaimed, we laughed and nodded. We all walked back up into the house and Esme and I began to prepare dinner. As Harry, Bella and Aría ate we all laughed and shared stories for the remainder of the evening, before separating off. After we put Aría to bed Jasper and I spent the night out on the beach, just sat in silence and enjoying the feeling of being together. Not realising that tomorrow would change everything.
