The Gift 25

Tara's POV

11 years time

"TARA!" I heard Jacob exclaim as his daughter arrived in the other room as her scent announced that she was indeed now home. "What have you done?"

"I was running to get back to see Auntie Tara and I fell down!" she explained, I heard a growl emitting from Seth in the other room; he had saw blood and was panicking.

"Doctor in the house!" I shouted from the kitchen.

"AUNTIE TARA!" I heard Bella's daughter yell as she thundered towards me, before attacking me in a big hug. Over her head I saw her mother, Bella roll her eyes at her daughters hyperbolic response to my presence.

"Watch it!" I announced caring more for her welfare launching herself at my strong figure, "Now let me see this injury" I pulled her apart from me and glanced at her leg, there was indeed blood streaming from a cut which was just below her knee, "Evidently you inherited your mother's clumsiness!" I laughed and pulled Tara towards a chair. Jasper entered the room clutching my Doctor's bag; he must have gone to get it from the car as soon as he saw her injury, her ruffled Tara's hair as he passed her to get to me. "Thanks!" I answered, taking the bag from his hand, "It is fine Seth will you quit with the growling, honestly!" Nonetheless Jasper left the room, so I began cleaning the cut, I was used to this after years of medical work and simply swallowed the venom which had pooled in my mouth and shrugged aside any thirsty thoughts, the room slowly emptied as they realised there was no problem.

"Are you like Seth?" Young Tara slowly asked, sensing there was no-one near us.

"Pardon?" I asked not lifting my head.

"You and Uncle Jasper are always the same, never aging, just like my Seth!"

"In some ways, but in others, no!" I answered,

"My parents say I was named after a school friend of mother's but surely, it can't be you?" I didn't answer "When you come, everyone watches you walk down the street, like you're some kind of threat?" yet again I didn't answer. "Last night I went to a bonfire and I listened to legends and tales!" she exclaimed "I know that Seth is a shape shifter!"

"Any of those legends remind you of anyone?" I asked.

"The Cold-"

"Yes," I interrupted, for such a quick answer she had to of already thought of that, I noticed her glance at her wounded leg and then me "I and my family are vegetarian, only animals do for us!" I explained.

"Wow!" she whispered, "Seth said he will grow old with me, stop shape shifting and grow old, just like my dad did with my mother!"
"That is quite a promise, you're very lucky!" I stepped backwards and smiled, she seemed satisfied, I hoped that when the twins were old enough, 17 or 18, the explanation would be as simple as it had just been with Tara, and no doubt I would have to explain the same thing to her younger brother in 3 years time.

The birthday celebrations for the twins were now over, Jasper and I were sat outside Jacob's and Bella's home, it was twilight, and Jasper next to me, he sighed.

"It is beautiful!" he exclaimed, "The safest time of day!" I had to agree, everything was safe, perfect for now.

"We must leave!" I whispered to Jasper, we had created a deal that two from our coven could enter the reservation for only one day a year, every year, for just 24 hours, for the twins birthday and those hours, for this year were nearly up, he nodded and grabbed my had as we fled into the trees.
