In this chapter, we will see the transformation of Emmett. He will be a lot to handle for Edward, Jasper, and Garrett, Edward's POV on this chapter.
Please, please review…if you like let me know. I started writing these stories on fan fiction as a birthday present to myself. Each time I receive a review it's like happy birthday all over again. Thanks for reading.
Chapter 29
"Monkey Man"
EPOV
After getting everything with Rose settle, the boys and I headed toward Gatlinburg, Tennessee to wrangle in the next member of the Cullen family. This is the last one until I met my beautiful Bella again. Ashton had handed me another note from her, and I handed him another note from me. We trade notes every, chance we get there hasn't been a time that we haven't spoken in the form of letters. I grabbed a picture of Rose before we left, to help Emmett or I hope it would help him through the change he was about to undertake. I pull the latest letter from my pocket and read it while I wait for information about the McCarty family home.
Dearest Edward,
The next adventure according to Ashton is Emmett. He is going to be a tough one to handle, he will quit literally give you hell. From the information, I gather while living with our family Emmett was the hardest to tame from the thirst, but Carlisle and Rose help him and they never scolded him because of it. They would pick up the family and move repeatedly because of his mistakes. Don't be hard on him Edward; you know how the thirst for blood can be.
I miss you terribly so; writing to you is the only way to alleviate the loneliness I feel. When I get a letter from you detailing things happening in your life, and seeing your writing brings me one-step closer to having you in my arms again. I also miss our daughter, I wish I could cry the tears that would express the loneliness I feel, but nothing would undo the damage these Italian parasites have caused in my heart.
Once Ashton has confirmed the transformation of Emmett, he will be sending me back. I have my letters numbered to help you through the time and Ashton has promised to deliver them no matter what.
I love you and wish you the best of luck, come home to me soon.
You're Loving Wife,
Bella
I fold the letter up and set out looking for the boys to see if they had located the McCarty farm. I catch up with them in a clearing.
"What do we know?" I asked Jasper getting about everything out of his mind, but letting him tell me anyways.
"From listening to the going on in the house I would say that Emmett McCarty runs with a rather wild crowd. He is a very good son, and makes sure that no matter what he is doing he takes care of his family first and foremost. He works on the railroad with his brothers, and he hunts regularly to feed the family."
"How are we setting a trap for him?" Garrett asked.
"What about we hang with the crowd, befriend him and then head out in a hunting party maybe ambush him, inject him with a needle?" I said.
"That's not a bad plan, but who is going to inject him with the venom?" Garrett asked
"Who is the strongest here when it comes to human blood?" Jasper asked.
"Garrett the eldest of us, how is your track record?" I turn towards Garrett looking him straight in the eye. I can read his mind so I know. He has slipped a couple of times, but has come back to the lifestyle.
"You went to medical school and know the ins and outs of the human body." Garrett stated to me.
"Yes that is true, but I am also the youngest to this life."
"You are, but you haven't taken an innocent life yet." Jasper said. He had slipped and so had Garrett, Jasper had the hardest time out of the two when it comes to his slips because he could feel their emotions as he did it.
"Fine, I will do it. Garrett would be the better choice because he isn't as effected by their emotions or reading their minds like us."
Over the next several weeks, we befriend Emmett and his buddies. Some of the things they did were deplorable, the way they treated women, the booze, and the gambling. We tried to lose to Emmett as often as possible knowing that the money we lost to him went to help feed and take care of his family.
The time came that we had planned the big hunting trip, and Garrett was responsible for telling the parents about his death. He was going to be mauled by a bear beyond recognition. We had stolen a body from the morgue a few nights ago to make the scene seem real. We had killed a couple of bears, to stage the scene with us killing the bear, but it was too late. Plus, we were planning on using something bear blood to cover the fake body in to make it believable, and use the bear claws to make marks over the body.
Things were set into motion and we had our gear for camping in the woods.
"Hey guys" Emmett stated as he joined us at the edge of the woods.
"Hey Emmett" I paused for a minute and looked at the others. "Ready to head out?" I asked trying to make conversation with him. It was often my job to talk with Emmett. Jasper and Garrett were rather reserved I wonder if it's because they were in the military and were taught to trust no one.
We head into the woods and by nightfall Emmett, will be on his way in transformation. I have decided that as Emmett slept I would sneak into his tent and inject the venom that Carlisle had supplied for us. We set up camp and gathered wood to keep us warm; we talked around the campfire. Emmett ragged me for never having sex, and I could have told him that I had, for all I knew I could have I just didn't remember ever doing it. Finally, Emmett retired to bed and the rest of us followed suit. Once we heard Emmett snoring, I quietly slipped into his tent, and shoved the needle into the jugular vein running through his neck.
Emmett woke with a start, and looked me dead in the eye. Screaming out in pain, as the venom licked through his system changing everything about his body. Garrett and Jasper came into the tent, and we carried Emmett to the closest cave to drown out his screams. We headed back to the campsite and tore it all to pieces making it look like the bear had attacked in the middle of the night. Once the scene was set and in place, we headed back to the cave for our vigil over Emmett.
Three days later, he awoke to the change. Carlisle had come down from Chicago where they were staying now to be with Emmett as he changed. He was his sire and his ultimate responsibility; Emmett's actions could bring the death of Carlisle according to the Volturi.
"Emmett" Carlisle softly spoke his name not wanting to aggravate the lad.
"What have you done to me?" Emmett asked while still lying in the cave on his back. He didn't move a muscle just enough to talk.
"You are a vampire Emmett; you will live forever, and drink the blood of animals. We are not going to hurt you; in fact, we are here to guide you into this life. You have someone special waiting for you to overcome your thirst to be with her." Carlisle told him.
"Why?" Emmett asked
"Emmett, you are a good-hearted person, and you don't want to hurt people. You will if you don't feed from animals, you can't go back to your family because of this." Carlisle say
"I have to help them." Emmett said
"I know you do that is why you are going to get through this newborn stage of your vampire life. You will be helping them by leaving money on their doorstep or animals that you have drained until we leave here."
"What does my someone special look like?" Emmett asked. I reach into my pocket and produced the picture of Rosalie. Emmett looks at it and rises from the floor, then places the picture in his pocket. "Let's do this", he says shaking his head a minute, and heading to the door of the cave.
Jasper and Carlisle take Emmett out of the cave to tell him the rest of things that he needs to obey in order to make it in this life.
Two years have passed and we are getting closer to putting the final pieces of the family together. Emmett is out of the newborn stage, he has gone the two full years not having one accident. I'm not saying he hasn't been a handful and there were times when we had to physically restrain him from eating the population, but he didn't and that is what counts. All of us have had moments of weakness when it comes to blood none of us are without wants or desires for the stuff.
We are moving to Seattle, Washington to get closer to our next destination according to Alice. She and Rosalie have become even closer, especially with Alice chatting her up about Emmett. Telling her about her one true love, and all that girly talk. We are meeting there to discuss the next aspect of the latest additions to the Cullen household.
We arrive at the new home that will hold all of us for a few years at least. Emmett and Rosalie have met. They are completely enthralled with one another, which makes me miss my Bella or maybe it's the thought of her that I miss. I watch Emmett and Rosalie court and wish my time had come, but I try to be patient with the couple. Alice says that everything will be fine, and we are not betting against her, I am just listening to be sure.
Rosalie and Emmett are planning to getting married, that is how much they fell in love the moment they meet. They want to go on a honeymoon, but Esme insists they stay close just in case the family is needed. Esme had taken Rosalie to the side to talk about girl things. Emmett was taken aside by Carlisle to talk about boy things. I had to listen to both conversations, and cringed at the idea of them having sex.
The big day had come, the girls were running around the house like chickens with their heads cut off. Getting everything together, it was just the family that was mainly involved Rosalie's parent never spoke, to her when she would write or even call them. It was sad to see a family turn against one of its children because she didn't want to be married to a man who was about to rape her, and let his friends take libraries with her too. She was happy and excited; Carlisle had sat Rosalie down and told her about having to change Emmett. Rose knew all about us, and was so in love with Emmett that she was willing to do anything for him.
Once the wedding was over and the happy couple retired to a cottage on the propriety we owned Alice and I sat on the roof of the house monitoring the newlyweds. I didn't want to, but being a mind reader had its disadvantages at times. Alice was in the same boat as me, she really didn't want to know, but wasn't given much choice with her special ability either.
"Do you want to know what Bella looks like?" she asked while sitting there.
"Yes" I was shown a vision of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Rosalie was beautiful, but not like Bella and her name even meant beautiful in Italian.
"She's coming Edward…she will be her soon. Be patient." I nodded I knew that she was coming she told me so every time I got a letter from her. I had many years before she got here though.
The couple seemed to make it through the experience without the loss of life or limbs, so we all decided to celebrity that things were falling right where they should for once. A few weeks later, Rosalie turned very ill. Carlisle rushed to her side and order her to start drinking animal blood, Rosalie was pregnant. She was excited to, finally become a mother, and to a child that was a part of her and Emmett. Carlisle explained to her the dangers; they weighed the options of Emmett turning her, they decided to take Emmett's venom and inject her with a needle, this would ensure her safety to a degree.
A month pasted and Rosalie was about due, Carlisle decided to take the baby a little early which proved beneficial for Esme. Therefore, we waited… Alice and Esme assisted Carlisle with the birth. Emmett paced around outside of the house. Carlisle had insisted that we all be away from the smell of blood as much as possible to lower the temptation.
Alice and Esme emerged a few minutes later, handing Emmett a beautiful baby boy.
"Rosalie wants to name him Henry McCarty Cullen." Alice stated as she looked at the little bundle of joy.
"How's Rosalie? Is she on her way?" Emmett asked while looking at his son.
"She is fine, she has started the transformation. It will take her three days. She will need to be monitored around Henry for the first little bit at least until she is drinking animal blood." Emmett nodded and the girls left again.
Three days later Rosalie Cullen was a newborn vampire. She accepted the life well, and accepted the fact that Henry was her child. She didn't once hint at hurting him because she loved him. Henry was doing great, Robbie and him where fast friends and getting into trouble even though Robbie was completely grown, they still shared the bond of being hybrids. Henry was a cute little fellow too; with the bluest eyes, I had ever seen and dark curly hair with dimples the size of Texas. He was a delight to the whole family.
A/N: Okay guys, Rosalie is happy with her existence she is a vampire with a child. Emmett is a father and made it through his change. We are getting one-step closer to the treaty, and Bella. As always, review.
