Hell in our Eyes
Chapter 10: Siren Song
Are you my family?
Can I stay with you a while?
Can I stop off in your bed tonight?
I could make you smile.
In the morning I'll make you breakfast
in the evening I'll warm the bed.
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad.
'Til the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil.
Momma was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do.
But I've got so much wickedness and sin.
My name is Pearl
and I love you the best way I know how
My blonde curls slice through your heart.
And the siren come calling
In the night
Until you leave.
Help you dress yourself up fancy
and bathe you when you get sore
I'll be good
I think I could be all you would want and more and more.
Be proud when you dazzle the wondrous
Glitter your eyes for the town
Tell every last boy that you're my man
I'll try not to let you down.
'Til the siren come calling, calling
It's driving me evil, evil.
Momma was a heartbreaker
Loved you the same way I do.
But I've got so much wickedness and sin.

BPOV:
I smiled happily as he twirled me around and sat me down. He back up and looked me over, blinking some when he took in everything.
"Your eyes? I like them, Belly!" he boomed and I chuckled and felt tears begin to spill over. I had missed him so much, the boisterous childlike Emmett trapped in a mans body. I knew though, like Rosalie knew, that while Emmett was childlike and stupid at times, he was also intelligent and serious when and where it mattered. Rosalie walked closer to us as he pulled me into another hug. She wasn't smiling largely but she wasn't glaring or frowning or almost frowning like she had on my birthday.
"Don't cry baby bells!" Emmett said as he ran his hand over my back in a comforting motion. I chocked and tried to sop my tears. It was hard but easy at the same time. I thought it would be harder, as I pulled away I smiled at Rosalie who looked just as stunning as I remembered. She stood tall, her topaz eyes were piercing but unlike other times she held no violence or harm towards my person. This made me all the more confident. When I was human I never took to well to being glared at or scorned, as a vampire it was amplified to the point that when someone does this I retreat into a shell of sorts. If Rosalie had been anyone else besides my ex-boyfriends brother, if she had not resembled my old friend, the witch Isabelle, then she would not have escaped without a missing body part.
I liked Rosalie, she reminded me of Isabelle to a extent but she was jaded, bitter, not full of hyper life like Isabelle had been. Sometimes I blessed Charlie for his choice in name for Isabel, he had found the name in one of my journals where I talked about Isabelle who was my best friend and made the break through of a century when she spelled all Lapis Luzali to help the vampire world. Unfortunately after so many centuries there was chunks of the rock that lacked the spell, it did not matter I had a bank account box in England which held enough to fill a coal mine, twice.
I noticed though that Rosalie's cloths had wrinkles, something I had never seen from any Cullen before. Her hair , the golden blonde trestles that were never out of place were just a bit disarrayed, to a human it may seem like it was on purpose and perfect on her but to a vampires sight we saw that it was simply not the case.
"Hello Bella," Rosalie said, smiling slightly, though to a human it would not have been noticed. They might have noticed her eyes and face soften but it was unlikely, the cold ones were not something the humans liked to make eye contact with for long if at all.
"So Alice didn't tell anyone else," I muttered. Rosalie raised a blonde eyebrow and Emmett blinked.
"What?" he asked. I chuckled smiling and looked behind me.
"Why don't we go inside so I can explain?" I asked. They looked at each other and nodded. We entered the house, Rose looked shocked at the face at the broken door. I smiled apologetically at them and we adjourned to the living area. I sat on a all to familiar white couch and they across from me on the coffee table. I was oddly reminded of my last encounter with Stefan and Damon. Shaking my head I took a large breath.
"Before I begin I just want to say I'm sorry," I said. Emmett looked at me with his big grin.
"What could you have to possibly be sorry for? Except maybe for your eyes..." he said as a after thought. Confusion was on his face like he was trying to figure out how my eyes had gone from brown to blue.
"Everything. My name is not Isabella Swan – not really." Rosalie glared slightly thought I could see she was confused as well.
"Then who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Kathleena Isabella Pierce. I'm not exactly human," I told them and they looked at me shocked.
"Kathleena? You do look like a Kathy," Emmett said, laughing. I glared at him.
"Don't call me Kathy! You can call me Leena or Kath," I told him sternly. He chocked on his laughter and smiled.
"Cool, I'll call you Kitty Kat when I want though!" he said as if he won the lottery. I rolled my eyes, I beginning to get to many nicknames to keep track of. Whatever happened to the days when your name was your name and not shortened? Rosalie looked at me with critical eyes before she asked.
"What are you?"
"I was wondering when you'd ask. This may be hard to believe, but I am a vampire," I replied. They gasped and Emmett looked at my eyes again before poking me. It was a strong poke and I jerked back some, the couch lifted off the floor slightly before settling and I rubbed my arm which seemed to be turning slightly blue. I sighed, a bruise for sure. It was hard to bruise us but Emmett's gift was his strength, more so then a newborn after years of knowing he had it and working with it were as a newborn never got the chance. If Rosalie had done that it wouldn't have bruised.
"I think your sick Kitty Kat, your obviously human. I'm sorry about that as well!" Emmett said as he looked at the nice round bruise on my arm. Rosalie sighed, and hit her husband over the head like she was prone to doing.
"Bella..I'm sorry I mean Leena. What do you mean, you don't look like a vampire?" Rosalie asked. I smiled, trust her to be the one who followed logic.
"My kind is a different breed from yours. Your kind is referred either as made vampire's or Cold ones by my kind. My kind has been around a lot longer and are the reason your kind was created. We are the original vampires, the kind were the myths come from." they looked at me shocked and I sighed before lowering my head and focusing on releasing my true nature. As I looked up my eyes became veined and black, my skin turned a bit paler or paper like...unhealthy may have been the best way to describe it. My fangs came out and I opened my mouth and hissed at them, there eyes widened and if it was possible I think Emmett might have pissed himself. I smiled, laughing at their reactions.
"Shit! You weren't kidding! So does this mean you can turn into a bat?" Emmett asked. I blinked and returned my face to its normal look before shaking my head. Emmett looked crest fallen and I smiled.
"No, but I can change into a animal. All powerful originals can. My forms are a snake, a python, and a lioness. It's rare to have more then one but not unheard of." I saw Rose shudder at the mention of the snake and Emmett grinned. I could guess what he wanted but I could see Rosalie had a fear for snakes so I shook my head. I would not transform simply to scare his wife.
"How much of the myths are true?" Rose asked. Emmett looked at me with excitement, and I pursed my lips.
"Well to start off, my kind do have fangs. We have all the same perks as you except we do not have blatant beauty and can blend in better. We have slower heartbeats, blood running through our veins and while we are not as warm as a human we do have body heat. We must be invited into a house to enter unless we kill the owner or the land has no one residing on it," I told them and bit my lip. Looking outside and then down at my necklace, the only protection I had on today I smirked. It might be easier to show them then to tell them.
"You said your had heartbeats, blood...can you have children?" Rosalie asked in a small voice. I looked at her and frowned, nodding. Emmett looked shocked, he obviously thought it was impossible. Rosalie also saw the motion and gasped a little, sobbing though I saw she was trying not to. She didn't want to be thought of as weak.
"We can, not many know or realize this. As most the time it is a ability gained with age. Males don't need worry about that but for females. Usually it doesn't happen until they are a few decades old, some and good majority are in fact barren after the turning process. I am able to have children if I wish, I have had children before my change but they have all passed on. Charlie is my descendant." Rosalie sobbed a little harder and I leaned forward to put a hand on her shoulder. She froze and I sighed.
"You know our blood is very powerful. There is one way for a cold one to reproduce besides with a human." Rosalie's head snapped up and she had hope in her eyes but it was also guarded by a glare. I smiled softly.
"Your not joking, right?" she asked. I shook my head.
"No, it happened only once before. About three centuries ago a cold one fell in love with a original vampire. The cold ones name is unknown as is her mates name. The story which was spread by their child, Ophelia. She said that the way she was born was that her father began giving his wife his blood as she began becoming depressed as she watched his sister marry and have children with her husband – they were both originals themselves. She refused to hunt and this lasted for three months. In the beginning of the third month she began throwing up of the mornings. They were at a lost, how had this happened? Why, colds ones could not get sick, vampires could not get sick. Her sister-in-law thought she might be pregnant, Ophelia's mother was outraged. It was not possible and she did not like her sister-in-law to rub it in her face so to say. She broke down and began crying tears, tears of blood." I stopped and they were both watching with awe, Rosalie was watching with pure hope now.
"What..what happened?" she asked. I smiled.
"They took her to a doctor, the doctor confirmed she was pregnant. It was shocking and very happy for Ophelia's mother. From the stories we know she stopped drinking form her husband, but a few weeks latter she lost the baby. It was heartbreaking. They realized the reason she had gotten pregnant had been her husbands blood and her continuing drinking it. After so long without it she lost the baby because she had nothing to nurture it with. They tried again almost right away. They were pregnant two months latter. This time she continued to drink his blood through out the pregnancy. She did drink regular blood as well, but mostly she drank his. There was a time she did not have it, a week but they would not risk anymore time going between feedings. The baby, Ophelia was born at eight months, almost a fully human pregnancy. Ophelia grew up with the best of both races, but without the curse that stops our kind from going into the light," I finished. Rosalie was gripping Emmett's hand with fear but happiness. She had lost so much hope when I mentioned the first baby not making it. She recovered as she realized it was not Ophelia.
"Wait, what do you mean? Curse?" Emmett asked. I smiled and stood up, motioning for them to follow me. I opened the door and stood in a shadow of the light coming in and the curtain drawn window. I smiled at their confusion.
"My kind is a lot like the myths. There are more ways to kill us then your kind. Stakes to the heart, and while holy water is simply water we do have something similar, vervain," I hissed the name and reached up to unclip my necklace. I held it in my right palm and then reached out to Rosalie who hesitantly held out her palm.
"Our kind have to have a certain stone, a lapis lazuli to walk in the sun," I said, as I dropped the necklace into her palm.
"What happens?" Emmett asked. I did not ask, simply reached my hand out into the beam of light. Instantly pain over took me and my hand sizzled and burned. I flinched back a moment latter and gripped it.
"Kathleena!" Rosalie and Emmett both said and Rosalie was at my side, clipping my necklace back into place in a instant. I smiled sheepishly.
"Our kind burn in the sun, unlike your sparkling. I think you have the better bargain, it may seem gay to most our kind, I wouldn't mind being able to walk in the sun without worrying if I have my necklace on." They looked at me put out and then pulled me out from the door and back into the living room where they instantly shut all the curtains. I laughed, obviously they were a bit scared.
"You should have just told us!" Rosalie said, huffing. I smiled and shrugged
"Sorry, anyways. I was wondering if I should prepare myself for little Emmetts or Rosalies?" I asked, raising a eyebrow. And their eyes got big and Rosalie looked at me in shock. She looked down and then back up at me.
"You would do that for me?" she asked. I smiled, chuckling.
"Of course, you just need to ask," I said.
"Leena, will you help me and Emmett have a baby?" she asked. I smiled.
"Of course, I call dibs on Godmother though." they laughed and nodded while I smiled.
"We wouldn't have it any other way," Rose said.
"Now, why don't you tell us why your here, and why you were crying?" Emmett suggested. I sighed, sat back down and they did as well. I took a deep breath and began telling them everything.
