Chapter 8- Answers

Brazil would have been a warm place if I was still human it would have been an amazing place for a holiday but we were here for answers. My daughter Swan is now a year and a half but she looks like an eight year old turning nine. We all worry about how long we would have with her every moment was precious every moment from now would be a search for the right answer for her future.

"Mommy look at the pretty birdies" Swan shouted from the top of Laurent's shoulders some how she brought our family closer together. She saw everyone as a family member Brandon, Beth and Jake as her Uncle's and Aunt. Maddy, Max, Anna, Alicia and Alex as her brothers and sister. Then even though me and Laurent are not mates she sees us as her parents I didn't want to stop her from having a father.

"I know they pretty" Running through the jungle trying to find where local tribes were was one of the hardest things I've done in my life but I wasn't giving up.

"Uncle Jake looks funny in the jungle" Swan giggled causing us all to laugh I guess a wolf doesn't belong in a jungle. My little girl though was talented she was able to allow any one who is not human communicate through they minds it helped out a lot when in public.

"Mom can you smell that?" Maddy asked I sniffed the air it was a scent of a vampire close by maybe they knew something.

"Yes where follow it" I led the way just in case they were a threat to my family I knew Swan was safe on Laurent's shoulders and no one would let her get harmed.

"Is they a coven in Brazil?" Alex asked I didn't know myself I only knew about certain things through the Cullen's then from the Volturi.

"I'm not sure but they is more than one" Swan was reaching out for me now scared so I held her in my arms while running.

"They might know something though" Alicia said I nodded my head following the scent. The middle one caught my eyesight first she was tall with long features. Her black long hair was braided and then she was wearing animal skins making her look wild and fierce. The other two were similar but didn't looks as wild as the middle one did they were intimidating though.

"Who are you?" The middle one asked in a deep voiced that matched her appearance.

"I'm Bella and this is my family/coven, Laurent, Maddy, Max, Jake, Brandon, Beth, Alicia, Alex, Anna and this is Swan" I pointed to all my family then I watched they eyes land on Swan with confusion, disbelief they didn't know what she was so the only instinct they had was going into a defensive position.

"She is no threat she is half human half vampire" The middle one stood up right slowly walking over but I could see she was still deciding whether she is a threat or not.

"how is that possible?" She asked looking at Swan who buried her head in my chest.

"She was born not bitten my son Max can show you" She turned to Max he walked over with Anna following him. He took her hand and showed Swan's past when it was over she looked back as Swan.

"She is no threat she is a friend, I'm Zafrina and these are my sisters Senna and Kachiri"

"It's good to meet you, were looking for answers anything that can help us" The other two walked over now not seeing the threat in my daughter Swan.

"They are legends about this further in Brazil where help you" Senna said I was relived that someone finally knew something.

"If we head further into the jungle we could pick up a scent where go now before dark hits I exhume she needs to rest?" Zafrina said.

"Thank you and yes Jake does too" They eyes darted to the wolf quickly before landing back on Swan who was now peeping at them and smiling.

"Let's get going then" Kachiri said then we began running further into the jungle I knew my family was safe out here as no animal would harm them and not many vampires were around. The only person that could get harmed was Swan but no one would allow that.

"Swan would you like to see something special?" Zafrina asked Swan looked up at her smiling then I watched her face drop with excitement when Zafrina was showing her what ever it was I knew I wouldn't be able to see it as I'm a mental shield.

"Wow" Everyone whispered in shock.

"Can't you see it?" Zafrina asked me.

"No I'm a mental shield" She nodded in understanding but I was curious to what they saw I didn't even need to ask though.

"Mommy I see a pond with Swan's in!" She beamed I had a feeling her and Zafrina were going to get on just fine.

"Let me set my camera before dinner and bed" I said standing up and putting my camera on the rock where I put a timer on. Maddy, Anna and Alicia pulled the Amazon coven into the middle with Swan in Zafrina's arms. We stood together smiling then the camera clicked taking the picture.

"What was that?" Senna asked.

"It's a camera it took our picture it will go on our living room wall and in my scrap-book" As well as Swan's photo album of her childhood.

"Were come by one day to see then" Kachiri said laughing in that deep wild laugh.

"May I have a go?" Zafrina asked I taught her how to work the camera while Swan and Jake ate she seemed fascinated by it. When she comes to visit I'll have to get her one to say thanks then I'll get her sisters something as well.

"Tent's up" Brandon and Alex called Swan was already falling asleep so I picked her up carrying her to the tent. I got her dressed in her PJ's then helped her in her sleeping bag as she yawned today has been a very tiring day for her.

"Tell the story about the ugly duckling" She asked she liked that story as the ugly duckling turned into a Swan at the end. I told her the story and she waited till I got to the part about the Swan then she closed her eyes and fell to sleep.

"Good night my little birdie" I whispered kissing her forehead then left to sit around the bonfire with everyone else. I put my shield up around the area just in case they were threats around.

"Bella you're a mental shield?"Zafrina asked prompting for more information.

"Yeah but I can also make a shield that can make you drop in pain and then only negative emotions can affect people like I can cause you pain or make you sad and want to cry" I have practised my emotions power and found out it's only negative moods I can't make someone happy.

"What happened?" I knew they were going to ask everyone did when I told them my powers.

"Max can show you it's easier that way" Max got up from Anna's side as the three Amazons touched his hand. I watched the smile on they faces when they saw I was in love then I watched those smiles disappear when he left me alone in the woods. The shock on they faces when they watched the pain I went through and when Max pulled away to sit down they eyes landed on me.

"I thought Carlisle was a good man" Zafrina said shaking her head it wasn't Carlisle who left me alone in the woods but he still left me, he told me I was family then just disappeared. I still had faith for Carlisle and Esmé I mean who could hold a grudge against them especially Esmé.

"Victoria actually stopped by asking about legends though I'm sorry we didn't know anything to help but we sent her in the direction to tribes in Africa" Senna said.

"It's fine It's not like I'm ever going to fall in love I have my family that's all I need" It was the truth but I still wasn't complete with out Edward I never will be I kind of hopped to bump into Victoria to tell her to come home and not to bother. The weeks went by as we searched Brazil in hope to find anything that can help us we ended up running out of food but Jake didn't mind eating raw in his wolf form as long as we found answers. I kept having doubts that they was nothing perhaps Swan was one of her kind and it was just legends. How long would she have to live though? No longer then twenty years will she ever find love? All these questions were spinning around in my head making me determined to keep searching I couldn't give up and I wouldn't give up. I watched my daughters all play hide n seek together as we stopped to think for a bit. Watching Swan play with the girls made me smile hearing them all laugh when they found each other.

"We haven't been here yet" Alex said pointing to the North of Brazil on the map it was worth looking they.

"No ones been they in years" Kachiri said looking at her sisters like they were trying to work it out.

"Why?" Me, Laurent, Brandon, Alex, Jake and Beth asked at the same time but they looked like they were thinking.

"Passing vampires have believed that a man was making immortal children but perhaps they were like Swan?" Zafrina questioned what she has been told.

"I've heard of this everyone stays away not wanting to be involved due to the fear of the Volturi" Laurent added.

"Well then we should go see whether it's true or not" Jake said we all nodded our heads in agreement ready to start running north. The girls appeared hearing that we were leaving and were excited.

"Uncle Jake can I ride on you?" Swan asked.

"Sure just let me go phase" Jake went to kiss Maddy then disappeared to phase. He came back out and Swan jumped on his back as we started running heading north hopping they was something that can help us. We were running for a few hours Swan was getting bored so ended up laying on Jake falling asleep. In the end I ended up taking her in my arms as Jake was worried he was going to drop her.

"Let's hope we find the answers soon she's missing too much childhood" Beth said next to me she was enjoying the adventure with her new friends though but a child shouldn't be running around Brazil's jungle looking for answers that could change her future.

"I know maybe once this is all done we could go away somewhere maybe somewhere in the sun on a private island where no one could see us" I heard the cheers of my family which made me and Beth laugh.

"How do you think the Volturi are going to react?" Beth asked.

"I'm not sure they going to predict she's an immortal child, go sentence us to death but I'll prove it" They was no way they was hurting my family.

"I'll show them but Alex can blind them to stop them from acting" Max said that sounded a good plan blind them then show them.

"Yeah Alex do you think your be able to blind Aro, Caius, Marcus and the guard?"

"Yeah, easy" Well then that was settled on how to tell the Volturi now all we needed to do was find the answers we need. The scent of vampires hit me but it wasn't just the scent of a vampire it was a similar scent to Swan could they be the same kind? Could they give us answers? They was a little hut but outside the hut was a man who was pale with a rounded face and the perfect facial features. He was smaller than the Amazon coven but taller than the three girls that were standing next to him. The three girls looked similar to him with long black hair and pale skin. They faces were also round but what caught my attention was the red in they cheeks then the beating of their hearts. They were just like Swan.

"Who are you" The man spoke taking us all in then his eyes landed on Swan with a smile on his face.

"I'm Bella, this is my family/coven, Laurent, Jake, Brandon, Beth, Maddy, Max, Alicia, Alex, Anna and this is Swan"

"I'm Zafrina and these are my sisters Senna and Kachiri" They eyes all stayed on the sleeping Swan in my arms in shock and surprise.

"I'm Joham then these are my daughters Serena, Maysum and Jennifer" I remembered one of the legends of the Libishormen he is one of them praying on beautiful women to create half human half vampires. I looked to Laurent he nodded knowing what I was thinking they were going to know answers I felt a smile tugging at my lips but held it back.

"How old are you?" I asked the girls

"Two hundred and eleven" Serena asked we all sighed in relief she was going to be immortal but when would she stop ageing?

"Two hundred and one" Maysum said we listened not to seem rude but we only wanted answers.

"Thirty" Jennifer said my eyes landed on her they all looked around the age of eighteen was that when Swan would stop developing?

"What age did you stop developing?" I asked.

"Seven years after our birth" I sighed that meant in over six years time she will look the age of eighteen and will stay that age.

"Thank you"

"Please come in sit down and tell us about yourselves" Joham said his eyes were on Swan though he only wanted information about her I had a feeling she wasn't safe around him.

"No thanks we must be going these have school and she needs a good nights rest" I said backing away with my family slowly they realised why I was acting like this and followed.

"That's fine please come visit soon" Joham said I nodded my head then took of running back south of Brazil. After an hours worth of running Swan began to stir in my arms I sat down on the ground allowing her to have some time to stretch.

"He was only interested in Swan" I said they all nodded in agreement.

"At least we have answers now" Laurent said smiling at Swan who was oblivious to what happened. Jake appeared then in his human form smiling like the rest of us she was going to have a long happy life.

"Aunt Beth can you come hunt with me please" Swan asked pulling at her arm she liked hunting in a small party with different people every time. Beth followed her into the jungle I knew they wouldn't go too far and Beth would risk her life for Swan we all would but I wouldn't have anyone in my family risking they life's.

"Not even seven years of a child hood" Maddy said pouting as Jake tried to cheer her up I knew what she meant.

"Well where have to make what's left of it the best years" I said thinking of throwing her a massive second party with a bouncy castle and then doing family activity's.

"The young one is happy though even if she doesn't have much of a child hood" Zafrina said it was true she was always smiling.

"Well at least we have the answers we were looking for now all we need to do now is visit the Volturi and then that's it Swan's future is good" Anna said.

"The Volturi will be easy I hope since Alex can blind them then Max can show them. I don't think they will harm any of us though since I am his most wanted target but we need to be careful. Maddy you need to stop Alice from seeing the Volturi's future for the time we are they so they have no way of seeing us" She nodded her head in understanding.

"Why don't you want Alice to see you?" Senna asked.

"If she see's my future or me she will know I'm a vampire and they come running after me interested all of a sudden I can't deal with that" It's not just that I couldn't deal with it, it was also the fact that I didn't want to see them. Seeing they faces again was just going to weaken me like Alva did with her illusions but for some reason he has disappeared now.

"Mommy I just hunted a monkey" Swan giggled running back and jumping in my lap as we all laughed. She was my little birdie and now that we had our answers she was always going to be my little birdie.


Hey I hopped you liked the chapter so they have found the answers they are looking for it took them over a month but they found it. I love Swan she is such a happy character I can't wait to write her when she's a teenager she is going to be very protective of her family like they are to her your see why ;). I had a review asking about Swan's last name but it is the Swan's, Guardian's and Black but it is the Swan coven. Swan's name is Swan Marie Guardian. Please do review the chapter though the next one might be on tonight or tomorrow not sure yet!
