CHAPTER 29
NEVER THOUGHT VAMPIRES COULD BE SO NICE
Embry's POV
We sat down and started eating, of course Vi was sitting right beside me and I didn't really care where anyone else was. She was everything to me; mermaid or not, she was my life, my love and the most important thing- my future wife.
We loaded up our plates and started digging in, small talk was going on around the table, including me having a conversation-well sort of, with Vi. It wasn't really so much words as it was just subtle looks and our squeezing the others hand every so often
Thanks to the wolf hearing, we heard Claire wake up in the spare room and Quil rushed to get her. She was excited to see my Vi again, but little kids need their rest too.
"Embry." My love called when I finally had my mouth empty. It's very rare for any of us shape shifters not to have a mouth full of food. "Quil already imprinted, right?" Well, I was expecting to talk to her about this later, but not now. How can I deny my love what ever she asks?
"Well, Vi…you see.." Great! My ability to stutter around my imprint amazes me! I can look even dumber around her. It's a gift. FUCK!
"He imprinted on Claire, didn't he?" She wasn't mad or disgusted like every other person was the first time that they had found out about it.
"How did you know that?" One thing is the way that we act around the imprints with our ages, and completely different to the way that Quil and Jake treat theirs. It's more of a brother /sister relationship, that's all. There's nothing sexual about it with those two. So how could she know that Quil imprinted on Claire?
"It's the way he acts around her." She smiled and I saw from the corner of my eye, Jake wink. "I'm sure that Quil is not some sick pedophile or anything like that, so before you start defending him, I want you to know I understand." I felt relieved, because there are things that don't need to be explained between us. It's like we didn't need words to say anything, we just knew. I never thought that imprinting would cause me this much happiness.
"Vi-owet, you came!" We all turned to see the little person that was running with her little stuffed wolf that Quil had given her and Claire ran into my Violet's arms.
"Hi, Claire. How are you?" My love placed her on her lap and Claire started clapping her tiny hands, while Quil sat beside them.
"I'm good! Qwil told me something, but he said it's a secwet. So, can I tell you?" My flower smiled down at Claire when she whispered something into her ear and we pretended to try to listen. "He said you wa mermaid, just like in a faiwytale. Is that twue?" Gotta admit, this kid is cute. We had to laugh at how big her eyes were when she asked Vi that.
"Well, yes, it's true. But like Quil said, it's a secret. So don't tell anyone, okay?" Vi whispered back to Claire and she had her index finger over her lips implying it being a secret.
"Yes, yes, shhhh. I won't tell no one. Pinky swear." Claire whispered back with her index finger over her lips as well. Quil fixed her a plate and she started in.
"I guess that means that Vi is ready to meet, Nessie."
I turned to look at Violet. She had a confused look on her face. "Uhm, I don't mean to be rude, but who in their right mind would name their child after the Lochness Monster?"
Everybody started laughing, including me. "Her name is actually Renesmee." I said.
"Yeah, Nessie is Jake's imprint." Seth said with half his mouth full. "She's Edward and Bella Cullen's daughter."
She still had the same questioning look on her gorgeous face, and I had to answer her unspoken doubts. "The Cullen's live in Forks. They aren't really human either." Her brows furrowed and I had to focus so I wouldn't kiss her again.
"The Cullen's are vampires." Brady said and her face was blank
"They're…wait…you're kidding me, right?"
Leah snorted at Vi's shock, "I wish!" Jake growled at her while I took my flowers hand.
"Vi, these vampires- the Cullen's, they don't prey on humans. They like to call themselves vegetarians. They only drink the blood of animals. They don't hurt people, it's part of out treaty and believe me, I wouldn't let you go anywhere near them if this wasn't true." This was a touchy subject to us, since some didn't accept the fact that the Cullen's lived so close to us, but, I always thought they wouldn't harm us…plus, I've been going crazy, wanting to introduce them to my beautiful sun.
"Wow. That is…well, I can live with that. Besides, who am I to judge? It's not like I'm exactly normal either, you know?"
The atmosphere became lighter again, with Collin and Brady fighting over a piece of meat, and Jared and Paul asking several fish names and if Vi could eat them. Thank the Spirits for Emily and her wooden spoon! But, as incredible as it sounds, my Vi wasn't bothered with any of this. She only laughed at their childish questions.
"Would you like to meet the Cullen's after we eat? We can go in my newly rebuilt car." I waggled my eyebrows at her, which made her giggle. She nodded and put Claire on the ground to pick up her dolls.
"I'd love to." She gave me that bright smile and I just melted all over again. Leah had to punch me because she said I was drooling.
"They're really cool." Seth interjected. "Emmett is a real riot! Total crack up!"
"Hey, Vi?"
"Yes, Brady.""How do you go to the bathroom when you're a mermaid?" I personally took offence to that question, but Vi just laughed.
"I'm not going to tell you the answer to that question. I think I'll let your imagination take over. Oh, and I heard about you and Collin almost knocking down a couple of trees?" She was smiling as she turned to me and the both of us started laughing.
"Uhm, don't really want to talk about that right now." Collin said hanging his head. "Embry might want to kill us. And I don't think that Jake will stop him from doing it." Brady pretended to have dropped something on the floor.
"Are you guys ready to go then?" Jake asked as he stood.
I looked at Violet, who nodded, "We'll meet you there. I'm gonna take my car out for its maiden voyage." I smiled knowing that this would be the care in which I would teach my precious flower to drive.
We left after thanking Emily for dinner, and Vi receiving hugs from all the girls, including Leah, who pretty much wouldn't let go of her.
Finally, we made it to my house and I pulled open the garage door. I jumped in after I helped Vi in the passenger side. Starting it was a high for me, since it didn't backfire as it had before while I was tuning it with Jake and Quil.
"Wow, it runs really nice." Vi said after I got back in the car after closing the garage door.
"I had to do something to keep myself busy while you were sleeping, since I couldn't do it myself." I laughed. "Jake and Quil helped me tune it up. I wanted it safe and perfect for when I teach you how to drive in it."
"It's a monster!" She giggled. "But, I shouldn't judge, we're both monsters!" Her smile was genuine, that's for sure.
And I just had to disagree with her, "You're not a monster, babe. I'm the one who goes out hunting for rogue Vampires to kill. Kind of a favorite past time of mine and the packs." I smiled.
We were talking about the dinner tonight, and how everyone reacted. I was more than happy to see how natural my love fit in with all of us now.
I gave her the short version of Jake and Nessie's story, so she wouldn't be totally shocked like the pack was when we saw it through Jake's thoughts when we were on patrol. Soon, we were pulling in front of the Cullen house and I was oozing with pride to finally introduce them to the mother of my children.
"Alice will probably open the door. She likes to know everything first, but she can't see what happens to the pack. She's the psychic of the coven. Usually vampires don't have such a big coven. Maybe two or three in a group, but, they are more like a family. They interact with humans and Carlisle, he's a doctor at the hospital in Forks. They are all very much in control of their thirst."
"How many are there?"
"Nine, including Nessie." I responded.
"You said psychic. Are there others who have abilities, or just her?"
"Jasper, her mate, he can control other peoples emotions. Calm you down when you feel overwhelmed. And then there's Edward. He can read your thoughts. Bella, Edward's wife can push out a shield to protect herself and her family if she feels threatened by another vampire or coven of vampires. Then there's Nessie, she can show you things by touching you. It's like she has both of her parents powers, but in her own unique way. It's complicated to explain. You have to watch her interact with Jake or the rest of her family. It is cool though, just to watch it or have her touch you to ask you something when you least expect it.."
We got out of the car and walked up to the door, which was already opened and waiting for us. As we walked in, Alice was the first to greet us.
"Hi Embry! Jake was just talking about you! And you must be Violet. Its nice to meet you!" And as always, before anyone could say anything she hugged my flower and laughed. "Oh my, look at you. When Jake first told us, I thought he was joking. But then Edward saw it and we were all mesmerized." Alice was smiling from ear to ear. "You have really pretty hair, can I touch it?"
"Alice, dear, please let her get used to us first before you start in on begging her to go on a shopping spree with you." I heard Carlisle in the living room and the noise coming from there. As usual, or at least it was something that I noticed, was that my flower simply laughed and took Alice's cold hands, not bothering with the cold, like it was all natural.
"It's very nice to meet you, Alice. I've heard nothing but good things about you." It was a fact that the tenor of her voice left people perplexed, but I didn't know that it effected vampires too. The noise in the room stopped when they heard her voice and Alice's smile became even wider.
"Come. Let me introduce you to the rest of the family." We followed Alice to the living room where everyone was waiting, even Jake was sitting on the couch with Nessie on his lap. Probably seeing what it was that she had been doing the entire day he was apart from her. "This is Jasper, my husband slash boyfriend, this is Emmett and Rosalie, Edward and Bella and these are our parents, for a better term, Carlisle and Esme."
"It's nice to meet you, Violet." Esme came over to hug her, feeling relaxed.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Cullen. Thank you for having me in your lovely home." Esme smiled, like the proud mother that she was, not letting my Vi go.
"It's a pleasure, Violet. We've heard so much about you from Jake. And we simply couldn't believe it." Alice continued with the introductions when Edward came to talk to my Vi. He had a mixture of doubt and amusement on his face.
"Violet, I'm Edward Cullen and this is my wife, Bella." He was almost smiling. "Let me say that it's a real pleasure to meet someone like you. I can't get a good read on your thoughts. This is nothing like I have seen before. It's like your thoughts are hazed over, like you're in the water all the time. And this is a blessing for someone who can read minds."
She smiled at him, "I'm glad I can help then." My chest was full of pride that I could explode any minute now. Jasper and Edward were laughing for some reason.
Nessie touched Jake's cheek and he obediently put her down. She gracefully walked toward us extending her arms.
"Hello there." My flower greeted her and picked her up as Nessie happily clapped her hands. "You must be, Renesmee." Bella flashed a smile to her, I think she was the only one who still wasn't used to her nickname. Nessie touched her cheeks and my flower got that all to familiar blank expression that everyone would get the second Nessie would show someone her memories. "Thank you for that special treat, Nessie. I totally understand now."
Nessie caught one of Vi's beautiful locks in her hand and started to giggle. "I like you, Violet." She said, still in my imprints arms. "You are beautiful, more than my Aunt Rosalie." I heard growling coming from the blond and got ready to attack. What was with her anyway?
"Hey, you know who's more beautiful?" My flower whispered in Nessie's ear, like she could keep a secret in a house full of vampires and werewolves, "You." The growling stopped when Nessie started to blush, ad we all laughed. My imprint is so modest.
"I guess it's true, about what some historians have written about mermaids." Carlisle had been quiet beside Esme and finally came forward. "That they are the most beautiful creatures on the face of this Earth. Both inside and out." He kissed her hand and I swear I saw a small blush forming on her gracious cheeks. That made me mad! Only I could touch her like that! "I'm Carlisle Cullen, the patriarch of our family, and allow me to say, it is an honor to meet someone as illustrious as you Miss Fairchild. Welcome."
Violet's POV
I never thought that vampires could be so nice! But, then again, I never really talked to one. They were all very nice and kind to me. And that is something that I wasn't so used to. Only since I've moved to La Push have I ever met people of this kind. There wasn't any reason for me to be afraid. Besides, Embry is by my side, so I know I'm safe.
"I had met a mermaid only once. It was when I was a newborn." Carlisle was a very polite man, but I had this feeling that I was a new toy in the store, with all the attention I was receiving. "First, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but as I had gotten closer, I knew I wasn't dreaming. She didn't really like me, at the time I had red eyes. Our encounter was brief, but I have never forgotten it." "I didn't know you met a mermaid before, Carlisle." The blond girl, Rosalie, I think, said but sneered at me. "Maybe you didn't think it was that important to mention.""Of course not Rosalie, mermaids are extremely discrete and wise. Besides, it wasn't my secret to tell." He winked at me and I just knew that I could trust him. I heard the should of something snapping and when I turned to look, Rosalie and the buff vampire were gone.
"Don't mind her, Violet." Alice's husband told me smiling. "She's just jealous." I didn't understand. What did he mean, she was jealous? Of what, me?
"She's frustrated because you are more beautiful than her." Alice replied answering my questions. She pulled me toward the couch where Jake and Nessie were playing. Was she serious? Oh good lord, come on!
"Wow, that's a new one." Jasper was grinning. "This is the first time that I have gotten this emotion when someone receives a compliment. Usually you would be blushing or denying it, but not you. May I ask why?"
"Because that is not important to me. There is just one person that I want to look beautiful for and he already thought I was when I wore my baggy clothing."
"Because I'm not eight years old" We heard another crash, probably a wall or a window this time.
I guess she heard me.
