Can't Fight The Moonlight
I've decided to keep this story going, a lot of people have reviewed and it's really not fair on them if I do take it down and re-start it with a whole new idea in mind. I will just start a new twilight/Harry Potter story if the muse doesn't leave me alone I seriously don't know how proper authors actually finish a story before wanting to begin a new one!
Chapter 21
Learning New Powers
Running with vampires for weeks, Harry was beginning to fill out and get taller. He was no longer the skinny boy who had entered Forks. Nobody could accuse him of being a girl anymore, even if he did have long hair. Which he usually kept tied back, Harry had no trouble keeping up with the vampires, but not for too long. Harry could get exhausted unlike the turned vampires. He was almost the same height as Edward now, and Harry was indefinitely glad for that he had hated being so short. His father, brother and step mother had left two days after Harry discovered his powers. He had stayed at the Cullen's instead of going home; neither Severus, Lily nor any of the Cullen's wanted him going home. Just in case he got furious at his father again, and actually used his power in front of him. James hadn't been too happy; not seeing his son at all and eventually went home. Even if he had seen Harry, it wouldn't have changed Harry's mind about staying in Forks.
Carlisle had indeed kept a record of Harry's abilities; he had gone out and bought a set of journals to keep the information recorded in. No other vampire, including Harry's grandfather had, had that ability. So it seemed unique to Harry alone, and that's the way it should be really. Being turned you always received the ability that was uniquely yours; it was the same for Harry. Although Severus and Edward had the same ability, only one of them had an off switch.
"Who are they Carlisle?" asked Harry softly one day, as Carlisle entered his office to find the half human staring at a portrait. "That is you, isn't it?"
It could be no one else, unless Carlisle had a twin out there somewhere. Considering how important family was to the old vampire he didn't like to think it was a twin brother. Even odder still, the rest of these vampires had red eyes; Carlisle even in that picture had amber eyes.
"They are normally referred to as the Volturi," explained Carlisle coming forward to look at the picture a sad but fond smile on his face. "They were the most refined Vampire's had I met, at that point."
"Edward said something about them…but he seemed, I don't know worried isn't an answer, neither is fearful he was definitely down when he mentioned them though." said Harry cocking his head to the side.
"That's because the Volturi wanted my son and daughter for their abilities. Aro," Carlisle said pointing towards the darkest haired vampires "Likes to collect trophies, vampires with abilities he has quite a few of them. He would give both arms for Alice; he wants her gift of sight very badly. Edward is similar in talent to Aro, Aro though must be touching and he doesn't just get immediate thoughts, he gets every thought and memory you ever had."
"So why would he want Edward then?" asked Harry confused.
"Like I said Edward can hear everything, everyone thinks and Aro wishes he had that gift instead of his own." said Carlisle. "That is Caius and Marcus, Caius is the cruellest of them all and he shows it. Aro is the same, but he hides behind a forgiving façade and Marcus usually stays out of arguments and is the gentlest of them all. It might be something to do with loosing his wife."
"You know, you are too compassionate for your own good," said Harry shaking his head bemused.
Carlisle simply smiled neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Harry's words.
"There was a time, when I feared Edward would eventually join them, when he felt for ten years." said Carlisle sadly.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Harry.
"That isn't my story to tell," replied Carlisle, he really shouldn't have said anything to begin with.
"So how long do they usually take to hunt?" asked Harry, he was bored.
"Depends, usually only a day at the most," said Carlisle.
"Harry, come and get some dinner sweetie," said Esme loud enough for Harry to hear.
"Bye," said Harry cheerfully to Carlisle before he bound down the stairs and into the kitchen. Taking a seat he gratefully began eating his dinner hoping the others would get back soon.
"The others aren't going to kill you for using their things Harry, why not use Emmett's computer?" asked Esme as she cleared up the mess she had made.
"I think I might, thanks Esme," grinned Harry.
"No problem," she said softly.
"Esme…what made you choose to be a vampire?" asked Harry quietly, as he finished off his dinner.
"I didn't, just like the others didn't, Carlisle found us all dying, turned us." said Esme simply.
"Do you have to be dying for it to work?" asked Harry taken aback.
"Oh, no dear, that's just Carlisle's way," smiled Esme.
Harry didn't ask how she had been dying, that question seemed really cruel. He wouldn't remind anyone of such a harsh time in their lives. If she could even remember, because from a conversation with Edward they didn't remember much of anything from their mortal lives.
Suddenly the door went, Esme went off to answer it, and it was a delivery man.
"Good job you're all vegetarians, or the delivery man would have been dinner," snickered Harry going through to the living room. As he turned on the x-box he heard Esme and Carlisle laughing. They watched horror movies too, so they knew what he was referring too.
Harry was sleeping peacefully in Edward's bed before any of the Cullen's got back. Harry had tried to stay up all night; unfortunately he was unable to do so. So as soon as the others got back Esme warned them to keep the noise down.
"He only went to bed a few hours ago," said Esme in warning.
"Why did he stay up so long?" asked Edward and why on earth had his mother let him.
"He was waiting on you all getting home, he was rather bored by himself," said Esme.
Edward just shook his head in amusement before he headed off up the stairs, wanting to see his mate himself. He had missed Harry as much as Harry seemed to have missed him, it made his un-beating heart warm. He had waited so long to have someone to share his day and night with. Just like his siblings, however, nothing seemed to happen over the years. He had never been the slightest bit interested in anyone, and then Harry had come along. He had realized he was his mate, and the fury that had clouded him that day he smelt another vampire on him. Not just smelt, but he had the venom of another vampire in him. Another vampire had violated him with his venom, nobody else but his venom should have been anywhere near his mate. It was a good thing Alice could see, and that she had stopped him or goodness knows what he would have done to his mate in his rage.
Edward heard Esme telling him his parcels were here, he was glad they finally were. Unfortunately what he had wanted hadn't been, so he had been forced to wait. Then there was the time it took to personalize it which made it even longer. He had been dying to spend money on his mate, his own money. Harry had money of his own of course, and he had always had what he wanted. His father had been loaded, so it was no surprise that he had gotten anything his heart desired.
Edward sat down on the bed, watching his mate sleep, he could do this forever. Watching him sleep, he looked so peaceful, angelic and if he could dream it would definitely be about this creature. Though he had to admit, having him here in real life was so much better than any dream could ever be.
"Edward?" murmured Harry sleepily.
"I'm back, sleep we have school tomorrow," said Edward joining his mate under the covers taking him into his arms.
"Mmm 'kay," murmured Harry snuggling further into his mate.
"Harry, it's time to get up," was the next thing Harry really heard.
"Nope, not going," groaned Harry placing his hands over his ears as if to muffle the further sounds Edward would make.
Edward stared at his mate; he must be really tired he had never once said that before. Fortunately he knew a perfect way to get his mates attention; laying over him he began kissing his mate. Loving the way his mate wiggled against him, letting out little content sounds. Edward grinded himself against Harry, as he continued to kiss him, licking him covering him in his scent and venom. Unfortunately neither had much restraint, Harry was a teenager and Edward - well he had gone nearly one hundred years without a mate.
"Well, I doubt I'll get back to sleep now," said Harry panting and also very much awake.
Harry squeaked in surprise when Edward lifted him up and put him over his shoulder. He was greatly relieved when it was only to take him through to the shower/bathroom. Both of them were clean within ten minutes, before going back through to get dressed. They were ready and Harry went down to get some breakfast before they all left for school.
"How were your classes?" asked Harry as soon as Edward joined him outside the classroom.
"Fine," said Edward his voice sounded off.
Harry threw Edward a look arching his eyebrow, was he supposed to buy that? Something was obviously up. Noticing the people around them, he quickly walked away with Edward wondering what was up. Edward just became even tenser; he could hear Harry's thoughts so it was no surprise.
Grabbing a tray, he filled it up with vegetables and fruit, deciding to have a healthy lunch. Esme had given him a plate full of greasy foods, and to be honest he was still full. So he decided on something just to snack on, he avoided the tomatoes, he didn't like them. Grabbing the orange he made his way over to the 'Cullen table' as it as known to everyone. Edward had just grabbed the same as Harry, knowing his mate usually just picked off his own and Edward's plates to make it seem like they were both eating.
"Alright Edward, what's going on?" asked Harry.
"Isabella Swan hasn't stopped staring at me, I think she might suspect what we are." sighed Edward eventually.
"Maybe she just likes you, you did say she has a crush on you," Harry couldn't help but point out, what exactly happens when someone suspected what they were.
"We usually move, and it's not the same she's got that questioning look in her eyes. What's worse she smells like wolf, the shape shifters." said Edward grimly.
"Do you think they've broken the oath?" asked Rosalie her eyes narrowed in anger.
"No, they aren't that stupid," disagreed Jasper.
"We have to find out," said Alice. She couldn't just look and see she could never see the shape shifters.
"I'll get Carlisle to call Black," said Edward grimly.
"Could she be one of their imprints?" ventured Emmett.
"Maybe," said Alice thoughtfully.
"We will find out, don't worry so much," said Harry quietly trying to get their good moods back. The morning had started off so well, he didn't want them all to be down worrying about one little human. Oh he knew how dangerous it was, it was for him in a weird way too, he was half vampire. "What about asking Sev to see what she knows?" it would mean not involving the shape shifters especially if they had told her.
"I like his idea best," said Jasper immediately.
"If I can't how do you know Severus can?" asked Edward.
"All we can do is try," said Rosalie she'd rather Severus to the shape shifters any.
"Then its decided." said Jasper firmly.
