A/N I've made a role-play for this story, it includes the real book characters, but also my characters. If you are interested, here's the link: forum/roleplay-sunset/118917/

Chapter ten

We ran in formation, running only at night, hiding in the day. In two days, we arrived in Mexico city. We tracked the scents of the newborns. When they split up, we just chose one. I was starting to get nervous. I was supposed to stay out of the fight, unless it was really necessary. I mostly was there to guide everyone by looking into the future. Bella would do the same, but with her shield.

Minutes later, we arrived at the first camp. We had decided to wipe them all out, nothing else would work. Carlisle didn't like it, and neither did Esme. They would be staying out of the action, too. Suddenly, I saw a boy. He was unmistakeably a newborn. He ran off, probably to warn the others. And, surely, there they were. There were twenty of them, we outnumbered them, but not by much, if you only counted the ones fighting.

We attacked them, Jasper in the lead. Their leaders, a pair, were trying to run off, but Emmett and Eleazar quickly disposed of them. I coached everyone. Paying attention to Jasper, I didn't notice at first that Jin, Sarah and Juliette were running off with some newborn. She was probably around the same age as they were, and very, very frightened. I understood their motivations, but they had to understand. We couldn't risk this. We would have to try to reason with them after the fight, this really wasn't the time.

Everything was over quickly, the heap with purple smoke the only reminder of our work. I wanted to go to the girls, but found myself suddenly heading the other direction. What were they doing? Didn't they understand how dangerous it was? I saw Romeo, Joachym and Sebastian walking around, looking for their mates, confused as to why they were heading the other direction every time they started heading in the right direction. I walked over to them at the same time as Edward.

"They went off with one of the newborn girls, and they are currently making us stay here."

"Why did they do that?" Romeo said, outraged. "Don't they know the danger they are putting themselves in?"

"Remember, all three of them have very strong gifts. No one can hurt them." Sebastian tried to sooth them.

"I think it best if we just call them and say we won't hurt the girl, and go help them." Edward said. We agreed, and Bella insisted she would go along because she could protect us from Sarah and a gift the girl might have. They let us come, and we saw the four of them sitting together on a bench. The girl seemed frightened, while the others looked like they pitied her.

"What's your name?" Edward asked.

"Nicky." She said in a small voice.

"We will not hurt you if you don't try to harm us." Edward said and she relaxed a bit. "However, why did you three do this? Don't you know how dangerous this was? She could have killed all of you!"

"No, she couldn't!" Sarah said, voice raised. "Juliette and I wouldn't let her."

"I would never harm anyone." Nicky said.

"Oh yeah? Look at your eyes! You drink human blood!"

"I didn't know there was another way!" She sobbed. Edward was being too hard on her. She was right, and she really looked like she felt remorse for what she did. Edward softened when he heard my thoughts.

"I promise I won't drink human blood anymore! Just don't hurt me, please!" The girl begged.

"Of course we won't hurt you, I already told you that." Edward said. "Now, come on. You need to learn our rules."

After we explained everything to her, she willingly agreed. I noticed she was a lot smaller than the others, probably just eleven or twelve. It was funny, Jin and Joachym were just a bit older than she was, but they had already adopted her as a daughter. The others were more like older siblings to her.

Sarah, Juliette and Jin refused to promise they wouldn't do this again, and their husbands grudgingly agreed, knowing there really wasn't any danger. We continued our journey through the South, cleaning up on our way. When we were almost done, we found a particularly strong coven. The girls selected two newborns, and ran away with them.

We had to let Joachym burn the whole coven to ashes. After this was done, we went to see the girls. Nicky had stayed a mile away, she had to stay out of the fight, but was very excited to see who her mother and sisters had picked out. On the ground next to them sat the cutest little blond-haired girl, who looked like she was only nine years old, and a girl with long, straight, blond hair, who looked about fifteen years old. Jin, Sarah and Juliette had already managed to calm them down, and they went willingly with us, both agreeing to learn to be vegetarians.

The older girl was called Nikki, and the younger one was called Hannah. Hannah stuck to Sarah, but more like a young girl would stick to her older, more experienced sister. It looked like Romeo and Juliette had adopted her. Everyone liked Nikki. I found out she, like me, loved shopping, and I knew we would become great friends before I even saw it. She seemed mature in other ways than the others, and while they mostly stuck to each other, she liked to hang out with me, Bella and Rosalie. Hannah and Nicky were like sisters, always together, always holding hands. But, unlike most sisters, they never argued. It was fascinating that they all were so much smaller, but still so much stronger than us.

When we swam to Europe to get everything back to normal there, too, they easily kept up with us, and even played around us in the sea. When we arrived, we divided into two groups. One would go to destroy the immortal children, and the other would go to Italy to start reorganizing our world. All of the newborns went to Italy, they weren't allowed to fight, and Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, Sarah, Juliette, Joachym and Romeo went with them. I would go with the other ones because Jasper would go, too, and I wasn't leaving his side. We said goodbye, and started travelling to the East, while the others went more Southward.

Suddenly, I couldn't see our future anymore. What was this? There didn't exist any other hybrids here, did they? I looked questioningly at Edward. His brow furrowed. "Children of the moon." He suddenly growled.
