Chapter 10
KPOV
After finally parking my bike safely at home, I ran as fast as possible to Bella's home. I made it quickly enough and glanced at my watch; only fifteen minutes have passed. I crouched low and searched the perimeter.
Stopping every ten feet and taking in a deep breath tasting the air. Not a sign of a vampire anywhere.
I took two laps and searched the nearby trees. Safe.
I was happy to be able to confirm that, because I will keep it that way.
I now looked at her house. It was smaller than mine, but had a nice comfy feel.
I shook my head. No Kaylab, think about what you need to do.
I took another unnecessary breath. I ran through her house in
my mind, from the door leads you to a small entry way, in front will
be stairs. To the left the kitchen, to the right the living room.
That was all I had been able to see when I came over this
morning.
I looked up at the windows. I nodded to myself. Yes, that would be the easiest entry.
I looked around. The only for them to sneak up on the house, would be the forest.
I turned, hid in the forest and kept watch. They are probably finishing up their family meeting.
After an hour, Edward still had not come to check on her.
"What the hell is he doing?" I grumbled to myself. After the second and third hour, I wondered if he was hurt, partly out of concern, but more from the fact that it would lessen my odds.
I needed to stay calm.
I began to picture who and how I would fight.
Emmett was a nice guy, he was slower in his attacks,
but easily able to overpower me if it came to a power contest.
I
pictured him charging me, most likely to pin me. When he did this, I
would have to sidestep him and use his weight to slam him to the
ground, the same as last time.
Rosalie won't fall for the same trick twice like Emmett. I would have to knock her as hard as I can into the stomach and send her as far as I could, so I can fight Jasper one on one.
Jasper. He would be
the toughest one to deal with. We were about the same height and I am
sure I outweighed him, but he might be a little faster than me in
combat.
I remember him talking about his human past and that he
was in the civil war. He had military tactics that spread many
decades.
I only had fighting unthinking newborns for a little
less than a century.
I
shuddered at the thought of having to fight Carlisle and Esme.
No,
I could trust them and from what I knew of them, they won't try to
kill her. I could only have faith in that.
Alice, she did not
fight last time, but if she agrees with Jasper, she might.
I
don't think I could fight her, she reminded me of Kate and even
worse, I liked Alice, she was very comfortable to be around.
I glanced at my watch; it was almost six am.
I looked to the sky and sure enough, the sun was already hidden by the clouds.
I heard the door open. I ran around, staying in the trees and saw Bella's dad, Charlie, getting into his police cruiser.
If they were going to try something it would have happened already. I would have to chance it.
I ran home as fast as I could and changed my clothes, not really watching to see if they matched.
I hurried to my bike and rode back to her house.
I parked outside and looked at her house from a minute, trying to think of a reason to be here. I smiled at my idea.
As I walked towards her door, at human speed, just in case. I thought about what she would say when she heard my reason.
I knocked on her door, silence. I knocked again. This time I heard the sound of someone walking to the door.
The door opened a crack and I saw her warm chocolate colored eye looking at me.
"Kaylab?" she asked.
"Ouch, I help you home yesterday and you are already forgetting who I am," I replied with a smile.
She opened the door more and shook her head, "No Kaylab, I did not forget about you, I meant what are you doing here?"
I
did not answer right away, distracted by her scent.
I took
control of my urge quickly.
Before I was able to answer, I noticed what she was wearing. I stared for a moment, before she realized what I was looking at.
She blushed and I chuckled.
"Cute," I said, looking at her blushing even more, but continued, "Well, since the accident happened yesterday, I was worried and wanted to come over and check on you. I hope it's ok."
She rolled her eyes at me, just as I expected.
"I am fine, Kaylab. I was not hurt that bad," she shrugged.
"Are you saying I am not allowed to worry about my friend?" I said in a soft voice and pouted slightly.
This made her turn even redder, so I added, "Aren't we friends?"
She fumbled slightly and said quickly, "Of course we are Kaylab! I just meant, you don't have to worry about me."
I pressed the advantage.
"So I can worry, but I don't have to, right?" I asked and she nodded.
"Ok then," I gave her a big smile.
"So..... Would you like to come in? I am gonna get ready for school," she said.
I nodded and walked in.
She showed me to the living room, before she walked upstairs.
I waited to hear the water running in the bathroom, before walking upstairs.
I followed her scent towards her room. I felt like I was hit with a truck. Her scent was hundreds of times more potent here.
I turned and moved towards the bathroom crouching low ready to strike.
The moment I left her room, I was freed from her scent.
I felt horrified at what almost happened. I ran downstairs.
I stood near the entrance door and when I heard the door open, I called to her.
"Hey, I need to go and get some gas before school ok? See you in class, save me a seat, ok?"
I heard her laugh and agree, before I dashed out of the house.
I quickly rode away thinking about how much of a monster I really was.
You almost attacked her! How could you! Weren't you outside protecting her from that very thing? How can you be so weak! You are a monster! You should not have lost control. MONSTER!! I screamed at myself.
I did not even try to put up an argument, but felt a bit better when I did calm down enough to admit I took control, at least in the end.
I stopped at the gas station. A girl was refueling her car. I noticed she had a mixed scent; must be perfume, and a lot of it.
She was smiling at me. I realized why the scent was familiar to me, wildflowers, something not really the same as Bella, but close enough to it.
"Hello," I said politely.
"Hey, handsome," she returned.
"I couldn't help to notice your perfume, what is it?" I smiled at her.
"Oh, this?" she smiled, apparently trying to hit on me, as she said, "It's freesia."
So that's what that flower was called. I finished refueling.
"Thank you," and with that I charged it to my card and rode off without another glance.
I pulled up to the school and saw that
Bella's car had arrived already.
I parked near Edward's Volvo.
I saw him heading to his class, but was stopped by Alice.
"Hey Alice, so what happened last night?" I asked her.
She looked around, before answering me.
"Kaylab, I need to talk to you. Come on," she said hurriedly and tugged me away towards the nearby forest.
Before I could ask anything, she turned to me and told me, "You know how I have visions, right?"
I nodded.
"Well, I had one last night, about Bella.......... and Edward," she paused, waiting for me to react.
I stood there waiting.
"And? What was it about exactly?" I was surprised of the calmness in my voice. I am sure I knew what it was about, but I still wanted to hear it.
"Well, they will fall in love with each other and he will change her someday.....," she said, but the tone in her voice sounded like she was hiding something.
"Or?" I asked.
She looked away, but answered.
"Or.... he will kill her," she said in almost a whisper.
I did not say anything more. I waited for my anger to take over me, but it never came, so I thought of a question.
"Will she be happy?" I asked in such a calmness that Alice took a small step back.
But she nodded.
I turned from her, "And what does this have to do to me?"
"Well, I hid this from Edward, but, well, I had one of you and Bella, too. She looked happy, but it did not look the same as in my vision of Edward. You guys looked like friends," she explained.
"Well, it's a good thing I believe that I can change my own future," I told her with a laugh and headed for my class with Bella.
I made it to class with a minute to spare.
Bella smiled at me.
"Hey, thanks for saving my seat," I told her with a wink.
"Hey, it wouldn't be the same without you, Kaylab," she said with a smile.
I sat and looked over to see Mike looking angry at me.
As I was not in the best mood, I lifted my seat and scooted nearer to
Bella.
She looked at me blushing at the sudden closeness of us.
"What are you doing, Kaylab?" she asked.
I leaned in to her, so that no one else would hear and whispered, "I forgot my book. Do you mind sharing with me?"
She blushed, but nodded.
"Thanks," I said.
I looked over at Mike and he was practically foaming at the mouth, but what made it perfect, was Mr. Mason was standing right in front of him, looking at him as he looked at me.
I pointed to Mr. Mason.
Mike must have thought that I was telling him to look forward, because he stuck out his tongue and then flipped me off.
Naturally, everyone saw this and Mr. Mason gave a roar that would put a mountain lion to shame.
"MR. NEWTON! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!"
Mike jumped a good two feet into the air.
"Detention!" Mr. Mason yelled, as everyone laughed.
"But, Mr. Mason! Kaylab is hitting on Bella," Mike cried out.
Mr. Mason came over and in a calm voice asked me what I was doing.
"Sorry Mr Mason, but I forgot my book today, so I asked Bella if she could share with me. Right Bella?"
She blushed at all the attention, but agreed.
Mr. Mason looked down at my notes, which were perfect.
"Well, that's very nice of you Bella," he turned back to Mike and told him to go to the principal's office.
As Mike left, Mr. Mason continued the lesson. I went back to what I was doing. I would watch Bella and lyrics would come to my head.
Halfway through the class, Bella noticed my paper.
"A poem?" she whispered.
I shook my head and whispered back, "A song."
She rose her beautiful eyebrows in surprise.
"You write songs?"
I nodded and said, "I sing them too. I just have trouble with the music that goes with it."
Mr. Mason's class ended, but he asked me to come up and speak with him. I walked up to his desk.
"I am sorry Mr. Andrews about Mr. Newton's behavior. I am very impressed with your work and grades, so please try not to forget your book next time. I have heard of your living arrangements, so if you have any problems, please don't hesitate to ask for help," he said kindly.
I smiled. He was a very good teacher.
"Thank you, Mr. Mason."
I walked back to my seat and was surprised to see Bella was still there, waiting for me.
"You waited?" I asked in surprise.
"Well, I was worried you got into trouble," she said, looking away slightly.
"You don't have to worry about me," I said, but she smiled and said, "I know I don't, but I do."
I laughed at the switching of our words from this morning.
I grabbed my papers, but noticed that my lyrics I had on the top, were gone. I had just finished that too.
"Bella ,did you grab my papers?" I asked her, but she shook her head.
I knew what I wrote, so it was not a problem, but it was still an inconvenience.
I walked her to her next class before going to my own.
During gym, we had a free class.
I saw Edward heading to sit near Alice.
Seeing them both irked me, I grabbed a basketball and walked over to him.
"Hey Edward!" I called in a voice that carried a little. "How about some one on one?" I asked.
Some kids stopped moving to watch.
He looked at Alice, who laughed and shook her head and said in a voice too fast for humans to hear.
"He is still mad about you not meeting up with him, to tell him Bella would not be attacked and I won't let you see the outcome if you play."
He shrugged and said, "Sure, Kaylab," he got up and we walked over to an empty court.
We both overheard people whisper.
"Five bucks on Edward."
"Ten on Kaylab. I have seen him play."
"Are you kidding? Cullen will kick his butt. Twenty on Edward."
"Fifteen on Kaylab. If anyone can beat Edward, it would be him."
I passed him the ball.
"You first."
I
crouched and moved at human speed at first and he mimicked my speed.
He drove left, but I blocked him off.
Suddenly, he spun around,
past me on the right and tossed in the ball easily.
He smiled at me.
Edward passed me the ball and rushed forward to guard. I faked him out and shot a three point shot, making everyone cheer as it swished in.
Edward looked to the sidelines just as a group of girls started to cheer for him. I rolled my eyes, but passed him the ball.
He jumped to shoot, but I blocked him.
I stole the ball and ran down the court. I felt him behind me, moving faster than before.
Then I heard an echo in my head. I knew
he was trying to see what I was going to do next.
I leapt a
little farther than a normal person could and slammed the ball into
the hoop.
I heard groups of people cheer.
The game went back and forth, both of us began to move faster, barely keeping it under human speed.
I was winning by three points, when the class was about to end.
One minute before the class ended, I heard Alice say, "Thirty bucks it ends in a tie!" just as I blocked a shot from Edward, but before I could take the ball he caught it again and shot again.
I did not even look, as I heard a swish.
The coach called the game to an end. I saw Alice gather her winnings. Naturally, both me and Edward weren't even sweating as she came up to us.
Edward laughed and said, "Never bet against Alice."
I rolled my eyes, as she laughed too.
Edward looked over at me and said, "Sorry about not telling you what happened at my house. I forgot."
I knew why, but he did not say anything more.
"Next time you do something this stupid, I will hurt you," I said calmly and headed to change my clothes.
--------------
A
few weeks passed and I was proud that I was starting to feel
comfortable here.
The moment I got to school, I had just taken off my helmet, when a girl I thought was in my Spanish class came up to me.
"Kaylab? Wou...would you go to the dance with me?"
I looked at her, wondering what she meant, but the I noticed a flyer on her book; declaring a girls choice dance.
I immediately thought about Bella asking me, but highly doubted it, since she had told me of her inability to dance due to her overwhelming clumsiness.
I gave the girl a gentle smile.
"I am flattered that you asked me, but I am not planning to go to the dance. Sorry."
She blushed and mumbled something along the lines of "Oh, ok," and almost ran.
I felt really bad about it, but I was still not used to things like that and I would hate myself if I was the one to ruin this girl's time.
I had thought she would be the only one to ask me, but I was wrong. By the end of the day almost thirty girls asked me.
I was surprised to see Bella waiting next to my bike.
"Hey ,Kaylab," she said brightly and began to blush.
No, she wouldn't ask me. Would she?
"Hey Bella, what's up?" I asked, as calmly as I could.
"Well, I kind of wanted to ask you something," she said, beginning to blush.
If I still had a beating heart, it would have stopped. I had to remind myself to at least act human and breath.
"Sure, shoot," I said, keeping my voice calm; which was about the only thing that was calm about me right now.
"I wanted to ask, if you will go and have dinner with me?" she blushed bright red.
Dinner? Not the dance?
"Yeah sure, I would love to," I said in the same
tone.
Of
course she wouldn't ask you, she likes Edward...... Damn that Evil
Pixie.
"Let's go," I got on my bike and turned to her.
She hesitated, "Umm, why don't we take my truck?"
I smiled and shook my head.
"No way. You invited me, so I want to drive us. You trust me, right?" I stared deep into her eyes. At least it's a date and I can settle for this.... for now.
She sighed, but got on. I smiled at her and gave her my helmet and jacket. She put them on.
I drove, but noticed she was squeezing my waist. I sped up and felt her squeeze tighter. I turned back to look at her.
"You ok?" I asked her with a smile on my face.
She looked horrified.
"Keep your eyes on the road!!!"she half screamed.
I had to tease her at this moment, I really couldn't help myself.
"Hold on tight, ok," I revved the engine and pulled back the handlebars, pulling us into a wheelie.
She screamed and I laughed, but after a few moments I leaned forward, pushing the bike back on two wheels.
I felt her hit the back of my head and heard her say, "Ouch!"
We made it to a small diner, near the edge of town.
I pulled in. I noticed that she did not let go yet.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
I felt her squeeze once in reply.
I looked down and saw her hands were even whiter than normal.
"Bella?!" I said worried. I pulled her off the bike and took off the helmet.
"I'm ok," she said, swaying a little. I caught her as she fell.
"Maybe a little dizzy," she admitted.
I laughed and held her until she was ok.
"Sorry," I apologized.
She gave me a slightly angry look, "Don't do anything that crazy again."
"You gotta admit, it was fun though," she frowned.
"No! It was scary," she said.
"But fun, right?" I said again, but as I saw her blush.
I heard her mumble, "Right."
I laughed out loud when she agreed and I walked with her into the diner.
A kind old women walked up to us and said, "Welcome to Mary's Diner. I am Mary."
I smiled at her ,"Hello Mary, I'm Kaylab and this is Bella."
She led us to a little booth in the corner. She was really a sweet old lady.
I sighed, thinking about what I would be doing for hours tonight, but since Bella invited me, I would have to put up with it.
I ordered a burger and she did the same.
I watched her while we waited and noticed something different.
"Bella? What's wrong?"
She looked up.
"Huh? Oh, nothing," she said, looking back down.
It took me five seconds to figure it out.
"Huh? I wonder what Edward is doing here?" I said, looking towards the door.
I felt my cold dead heart tear, as I saw her eyes brighten considerably and turn towards the door.
"I thought so," I said, when she looked back at me confused.
She blushed when she realized she was tricked.
"So you invited me out for a bite, because you want to talk to me about Edward right?" I continued.
She turned the color of a tomato, but nodded, mumbling "sorry".
I bit back my sigh and scowl, but smiled and said, "No big deal, Bella. We are friends, so you know you could come to me, if you had something you needed. I am happy you did, in fact."
"It's just," she took a deep breath, "It's just, Edward has been ignoring me and I think I know why," she sighed.
I waited, but she did not continue.
"What is it you think?" I asked.
"I think, no, I know, he regrets saving me."
I looked at her face as she said this and felt even worse. I could see the hurt in her eyes, I could tell how much she cared for him, even if she didn't realize it yet.
She began to sigh again.
I never believed in angles or devils, but now I could hear them in my mind.
The angel looked at me and said "Tell her the truth, this is hurting her."
The devil looked at me as well and said, "No, this is your chance to change the future that pixie saw. Lie. Tell her she might be right."
"Will you sacrifice what humanity you still have, to get what you want?" said the angel.
"Why should Edward have everything? That caring family. He grew up with Carlisle. He was cared about. He was changed out of love. He is loved. By his family. And by Bella. You don't have that, but this is your chance to get it," reasoned the devil.
"But you do, too, Kay. You know it. Eleazar and Carmen, Kate, even the Cullen's care and love you. You are not a monster for what happened to you, but you can be a monster for the choices you make," said the angel, Kate.
"No, take it now, get your own happiness," said the women with blood red eyes.
This whole conversation lasted a mere moment and Bella looked up at me, as she finished her sigh.
"Kaylab, what do you think?" she asked worried.
I laughed so loud, that the people around us looked at me.
Bella looked around worried.
"Are you sure you did not get brain damage, Bella?" I said, as I finished laughing.
She looked mad as I said this, but I continued, "Bella, there is not a person on this whole word who wouldn't jump in front of a moving vehicle to save you," I stared at her face, "I, personally, would do it a hundred times over, without hesitation."
Mary brought the food and Bella took a bite informing me it was great. I smiled at her and lifted my burger.
UGH!
I bit down and chewed; it tasted like what burnt rubber smelled like.
"Mmmm, you're right, it's great."
Mary brought the check as we finished.
Bella reached for the bill, but I was much faster.
I took the check, put a fifty into the bill and said, "Mary, this was the most wonderful burger I ever had. Please keep the change," I smiled warmly, as I lied through my teeth.
Mary smiled and thanked us warmly.
"Hey, I invited you, it was my treat," Bella said.
I shrugged.
"No, I wanted to invite you, but you asked first..," I said to her.
She looked confused, but I smiled and she shrugged as well.
"Well ,next time it's my treat," she grumbled.
"Were are going to do this again?" I asked.
Smiling, she nodded, "Yeah, when you have a problem and need some advice."
I smiled, knowing that will probably never happen, "Deal."
After I took her back to the school to get her car, I followed her back to her house.
She waved goodbye. I gave her a wave back, wanting
to get home and get that nasty human food out of my mouth as soon as
possible.
Yuck.
I can still taste it.
I got home and went straight to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, I flushed and came out.
I went right outside
and ran until I found a black bear. I slammed it into a tree, letting
my aggression out. It swiped a large paw at me, I knocked its paw
away, hearing a loud crack. It roared in pain. Then, it tried to bite
my head off, but I ran right around it and grabbed it by the back of
its neck, pulling it backwards and bit down, letting it's blood flow
into me.
It was good.
I heard a small crack. I turned
and crouched, wondering who was here.
Carlisle stepped out from
behind a tree, with his hands up in caution. I registered him and
stood up.
"Sorry," I said I turned and finished drinking.
"No apologies necessary, you're hunting and it was foolish to walk up behind you," he said calmly. Then after a moment ,he added, "I am surprised how calm you were, though and your hunting style, umm, was interesting," I rolled my eyes, before turning back to him.
Remembering
he was a kind man, who probably thought of the bears feelings as I
broke its arm, I said, "I had a bit of a bad day, Carlisle. It
was wrong of me. But I don't hurt my food normally," I sighed.
"So what brings you around here?"
I heard another sound and crouched again, but the moment I saw Esme, I stood up.
She smiled at how quickly I got out of my defensive position.
"Well, we were worried about you Kaylab, you have not been over in a while," Carlisle said.
"Are you alright, Kaylab?" Esme asked kindly.
I smiled at her and Carlisle, "Yes, I am perfectly fine, thank you both. You are too kind to me."
"It's no trouble, Kaylab, we want you to think of us as your family," Esme said.
I smiled even more.
"Thank you, Esme. It means a lot to hear that. But I am used to being alone."
She nodded. I walked up to her and hugged her.
" Thank you, really," I felt her hug me back.
"Oh yeah Carlisle, I wanted to ask a favor of you," I turned to Carlisle.
"What do you need, Kaylab?" he asked.
"I was at your hospital a while ago and I got a little lost. I found myself in a room called 'the special care ward'...," I said, looking at him.
His face was impassive, so I continued ,"Well, I was wondering If it would be possible to visit again?" I finished and waited.
"Well, I am not sure, I mean, what if one of them were to cut themselves? Could you handle it?" he asked.
I nodded. "I am absolutely sure of it," I looked at him, but he looked like we was worried about something else.
"Carlisle, what is it?" I asked.
Esme walked over to her husband and took his hand, giving him a reassuring squeeze.
"Well, I am worried about your past experience with children," he said, looking a little awkward.
I sighed.
I ran a hand through my hair. I really did not want to have to tell them; I still found it hard to speak about this to Eleazar and Carmen, but in order to move forward, I guess I would have to explain.
"I don't want to be haunted by my past anymore, Carlisle."
"I understand Kaylab, but..," I interrupted him.
"Don't say that to me," I half yelled, clenching my fists.
"You think you can understand what I saw, Carlisle? Let me give you a glimpse of what I saw," I spat.
"I had gone into a human store and stole bread and juice for them. I ran to that broken, decaying building, hiding from everyone who might want to hurt me again. I did not understand why, but the newborns were growing in numbers there. I made it to that building and gave them that food; they would smile, but I would not even say anything to them. From the day I met them, I never spoke to them. I protected them, out of wanting to keep what little humanity I had left. I was about to leave that night, when the smaller child tried to say something.
He said, "Don't go, please.""
I glared at Carlisle and refused to look at Esme.
"Do you know what I did then?" I growled, but I did not wait for an answer.
"I growled at him. I growled, thinking, where does this small human get off telling me what to do? I left to steal blood from the blood bank. When I got there I stole it easily enough. As I returned to that building, I noticed many newborns out. I did not enjoy killing them, so I stayed out of sight, as I made my way there. I heard the scream and the screeching. I ran there ,as fast as I could. I saw them surrounded, I did not understand why, but I attacked the newborns. There were ten of them. I knew my chances of getting them out of there alive were nothing more than a fools dream, but I still attacked. I killed five of the ten, before they got me, Carlisle."
I walked closer to Carlisle and Esme.
"Can you even fathom what they did to me?"
I pulled off my shirt, wanting him to understand how lucky he had it.
"Look at me!" I yelled.
I watched as they looked at my chest, which was scared by a large cross.
I pointed to it, "This is where they stabbed my body and tried to rip me in two."
I then pointed to my shoulders, showing numerous bites, along a large scar that looked like a line separating my arm from my body.
"They bit and almost tore my arm off," I let them imagine what happened with the rest of my scars.
I pulled my shirt back on and laughed bitterly.
"And you know what happened that whole time Carlisle? I was on the floor, looking at the children. They heard me scream and yell in pain. They watched that. The little girl must have understood that they wanted blood, like I had," I looked away from them both and stared at the mountains.
Esme asked, "Kaylab, what happened?"
No matter how angry I was, I could still hear her kindness. I breathed in, letting go of my anger.
"She grabbed something from the ground and had cut herself along her arm. The remaining five newborns could not resist that blood. I watch them tear those kids apart, the girl shielding the little boy. They saved me. Eleazar must have heard the children's screams, because he found me and saved my life then."
I laughed bitterly again, "I never even asked them their names. I am a monster. It was then, as I was being sown whole, that I understood what I really meant to those children and what they meant to me."
I felt someone hug me tightly.
"Never think that, Kaylab. You are not a monster. You have a kind heart. You have been hiding so much, trying to be strong. Eleazar and Carmen were worried, while you were away from them. They did not want to force you to be with them, but they hated you being alone. Eleazar is proud of you and how you have grown here," Esme said.
I aswered in a hollow voice, "I won't bother them. I promised myself that, the day they saved me. I would do everything on my own," I said fiercely.
I turned to Carlislle then and said, "Never mind, I will think of something else."
Carlisle looked at me for a moment longer, before saying, "I think it is a good thing for you to be there at the Hospital Kaylab, it might help you to forgive yourself."
I saw him smile and I thanked him again.
----
The next day.
Right after school I headed to my home and grabbed my car. I started my engine and noticed the difference right away.
"Thanks, Rosalie," I said out loud and drove towards Seattle.
I stopped at a toy store and bought nearly the whole store. I filled my car up and headed back to Forks.
I got to the Hospital and met up with Carlisle. He decided to join me today. He took a bag. I looked at him.
"Human, remember? One bag alone, might be pushing it, but two?"
Oh right, normal humans aren't this strong.
I nodded, as he headed to the room.
"Hello?" I said as I entered.
All the children yelled, "Kaylab!"
I noticed Rachael climbed out of bed and ran towards me.
"Hello, Princess," I winked at her and she blushed, but never the less lifted her hands for me to pick her up.
In vampire speed Carlisle told me that Rachael's parents died in an accident a year ago and that her medical bill was being paid by a anonymous benefactor.
I grinned, knowing who that benefactor was.
"I brought something for all of you," I said smiling and brought out the toys.
They all lit up, as I passed out the toys.
I handed a special teddy bear to Rachael.
"He does not have a name yet, so he wanted to ask you if you could name him," I informed her.
She was looking down blushing again.
"You can't think of one?" I asked her, but she shook her head.
"You have one then?" I asked and she nodded.
I leaned in, so she could whisper it to me.
"Kaylab," she said in a tiny whisper. I smiled.
"I think that's a great name, Rachael," I patted her on the head.

A/N: Ok, I really want to know what you all think. I was not intending for Kaylab to be so Edwardish (heh heh love that word) but I just wanted to show he did not have it quite so easy. He has bottled up a lot of emotions and they just came out, part of the reason was he was sad already when he had lunch with Bella and found out how much she likes Edward. He is acting a little OOC because this is very new territory for him to trust people with his secrets. But in a chapter or two his mood should be heading back because of how Bella and Edward act towards each other. There might be some Kate action too.
I
hope I played Bella and Edward realistically enough.
In case you
don't know, when the angel turned into Kate, the devil turned into
the girl who changed him and he never got her name.
The Vollturi arrived in New York a few days later and killed all the newborns. Kaylab does not know how lucky he was that Eleazar was there.
Oh and I want to reply to your reviews and if you have a question, ask away and Kaylab will answer for himself (anything you want lol).
