Chapter 10

There was a knock on the Cullen's door. I walked over and answered it. I was then enveloped in a hug.

"Mother! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I overheard your father's conversation with Crystal and came with her. That coven really gets on my nerves. Where is your father?"

"He's not here yet. He's contacting the Volturi to have them come and help."

Emmett and Jasper walked over to us.

"How do we know they'll help us?"

"My grandfather is their creator and boss. They have no choice but to help." I said.

"So they aren't cold ones?"

I shook my head.

"Your father, Carlisle, isn't a cold one either. My father is the one that turned him. But he made it so he could go out in the sun and only sparkle like cold ones."

"Come, Trixie. Why aren't you in school?" Mother asked.

Crystal was with her. She walked with us toward the back yard.

"I tried going to school the other day. But someone called the same hunter that was in the castle back home. I almost died."

"Who called the hunter?"

"Don't tell father that I know who it was. I'm starting to like the Cullens. The boy that called him is up in Alaska. His name is Edward."

Mother growled.

"He is the son of the Masons that killed your grandmother. He is a vampire hunter."

"Oh no."

A man was holding a cross toward us. We hissed in fright. Carlisle heard the hiss and ran out.

"Who do you think you are? Get off my property!"

"You are harbouring vampires in your house."

"Your point is? My whole family are vampires. Now get off my property!"

He turned the cross toward Carlisle. But it didn't have any effect on him. The hunter got angry and ran off.

"Mother! Are you all right?" I asked.

"I'm fine, my daughter. I just have to go to Seattle to hunt."

"Let me call father and you two can go together. I don't want you to go alone."

Mother smiled.

"I'm supposed to be the mother. Not you."

"I don't care. Crystal, stay with her while I call father."

"I will, Trixie. Don't worry."

I ran into the house and called father.

'Trixie? What is it?'

"Mother came with Crystal. She is at the Cullen's place. She needs to hunt. The hunter was just here and has weakened mother."

'I'm coming, my daughter.'

I hung up and went back outside. Emmett and Jasper came out.

"Why doesn't she do what we do?"

"Animal blood won't sustain us. It would make us sick. We only hunt criminals. In fact I had fun our first night here."

"You had fun without me?" Crystal asked.

I giggled.
