Here cooooomes the next chapter :)
So allrighty cullensistersalicebella, I owe you some credit sister! :)
It was like really late when I posted last chapter, and I kept trying to remember who to credit at the beginning and I couldn't remember to save my life. haha
But yeah, just so you guys know I prewrote this, so right now I'm actually writing the ending, while I'm just now posting the middle. I just post it in odd incremements. hahahaha
But my point is, I already know how I've got everything worked out, but I promise if you guess one of my future ideas like cullensistersalicebella did with Everett being more vampire than Rosslyn, I'll start crediting you guys for reading my alien telepathy. hahaha
And while I'm on this subject of guessing....
AmyA.W.... You... Oh you... my friend you are the queen at reading my alien telepathy man! :)
"You listen here Aro," I said handing Rosslyn to Esme and stepping forward towards Aro. I towered over him of course, and he was alone. The fight would be easy, and the rest of the Volturi would not be able to get back in time to save him. "This child means more to Rosalie than her own life! She has waited over a century for Rosslyn and she will never give him up to you! She'd sooner be burned to ashes than hand her baby over to you. And you know what, if you'd told us what your intentions were all along I wouldn't have let her subject herself to this kind of torture in the first place knowing that in the end, her anguish would all be in vain because you'd snatch that dream out from under her. If you want your own army robot child to rule the vampire world with, you get one of your own guards to go what Rosalie went through!" I couldn't stop myself as the anger bubbled over the edge fuming through each one of my dagger sharp words. Anger won through and my shield lashed out. Aro stumbled back like I'd pushed him. His scarlet red eyes widened and abruptly focused on my face shocked.
"Y-you!" Aro pointed a shaky finger towards me accusingly his breathing heavy like I'd been strangling him. Carlisle put a hand on my shoulder.
"Emmett… Not now." He spoke calmly, but there was an edge to his tone. He looked at me in confusion. He didn't know about my gift.
"Leave. Never come back here again." I growled stepping forward towards Aro. I took Rosslyn into my arms possessively and his beautiful blue eyes flew open looking to Aro sharply. Aro gasped and smiled lightly.
"He's perfect." Aro breathed, his voice airy as he reached out his chalky hands to Rosslyn. Right before his hands could make contact with Rosslyn's skin, he gasped and his old, papery body jolted like he'd been electrocuted. He jumped back from Rosslyn his eyes wide. "It was… you." Aro accused me again. I immediately regretted the mistake of pulling the shield over Rosslyn like that. So strongly. "Wh-what? How did you do that?" Aro seemed more fascinated than irritated.
"I… don't know. It just… developed along with the kid." I shrugged taking a step back from Aro's scarlet eyes. Carlisle shot me a glance and I knew I'd have to explain to him later.
"Interesting…" Aro's chalky forehead wrinkled in deep pondering. "Very interesting…" Aro seemed to be still thinking deeply about what I'd just said.
Then, the door crashed open and Edward, along with Bella, Renesmee and Jasper returned looking upon the new scene with gasps of shock. They'd been luxuriously hunting in Canada while all the rest of us were in hell as we went through the most horrifying experience. Aro's eyes widened as he saw Edward. Edward, Renesmee Jasper, and Bella, all wore expressions of shock as they first noticed the child I was holding, and then even more shocked as they saw Aro standing there. Edward knew that Carlisle was going to take the children the following morning, but of course Rosalie couldn't follow the plan.
Renesmee rushed to me first standing on her tiptoes to see Rosslyn. Rosslyn's beautiful blue eyes bored into her chocolate ones and he smiled a beautiful smile with a full complement of small snowy white teeth up to his… cousin? Renesmee gasped and reached out to hold him. I gave Rosslyn to her so carefully and she held him as if he were the most rare and precious jewel in the world. Nessie let out an awed breath and she looked very fascinated. Edward's eyes were focused intently on Aro, his expression hard.
"I apologize to you Emmett. Send my apologies as well to Rosalie when she awakens. And, Rosslyn, I will enjoy hearing how you develop." Aro hurried outside the door like something was dragging him. The room watched Aro exit baffled and shocked at his abrupt exit if what he wanted was right in front of him. The halfway fixed door since the last time the Volturi had broken it down slammed behind him. He was gone. All the Volturi were gone. I smiled and the room let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh Em! He's here! He's finally here! Just look at him! He's so beautiful!" Renesmee was cooing, Bella peering over her shoulder, her glistening golden eyes wide.
"Emmett, he's stunning. Where's Rosalie?" Bella asked smiling her widest.
"Not… awake." The words sounded so inappropriate coming from my mouth. The room stiffened as I said them.
"Emmett… What happened here?" Jasper whispered. It sounded like we were talking about a horror movie.
"That." I half smiled looking at Rosslyn. Rosslyn giggled as Renesmee tickled him her smile so wide it looked like she would break in half. Jasper cracked a smile too.
"Is Rosalie all right?" Bella asked urgently.
"I… don't know." I answered honestly. The words were like verbal vomit. Not pleasant.
"She's upstairs." Edward mumbled to Bella. Renesmee brightened.
"I want to see her!" Renesmee squealed.
"Not right now." Edward cautioned.
"Why not?!" Renesmee whined. Bella looked to me, eyes wide with horror.
"She's… asleep." I told Renesmee.
"She's dead isn't she?!" Renesmee howled immediately jumping to that conclusion. I flinched. Not yet.
"No Renesmee. No." Edward took Renesmee's tiny shoulders in his arms comforting her.
"What's wrong with her?" Jasper questioned.
"She's going through transformation into a vampire again by what I hear in her thoughts." Edward answered solemnly.
"Oh Rosalie…" Bella whimpered. "She cant ever have a win-win situation can she?" Bella sighed. She was right. Everything Rosalie did, had a lose-win outcome. Whether it is Rosalie winning and someone else losing due to Rosalie's actions or, Rosalie losing and someone else benefiting from it, nothing made everyone happy.
"She'll wake up soon." I sounded like I wasn't only trying to convince everyone in the room that, I was shoving the words down my own throat as well.
"Emmett, you look horrible and your thoughts are even more incoherent than usual. How… was it?" Edward commented. I didn't miss his teasing of 'more incoherent than usual.'
"I… It's honestly the most terrifying thing I've seen in my entire life." I shook my head to shake out the memory of Rosalie's screaming. But I couldn't hear anything but her anguished cries inside my head. "I felt like a kid watching a horror movie."
"I know what you mean." Edward nodded, his expression hardened.
"I couldn't do anything. That's the worst part." I continued. "You know, the way I was raised, my old man told me you can fight your way out of any situation. Be the strongest and punch the other guy's lights out and problem is solved, but… this time… I couldn't fight my way out of anything. Everything I loved was fighting against each other and I didn't know what team to join you know?" I ranted but everyone still listened. "It's like sometimes I look at the kid, and see nothing but a killer. I see what ripped Rosalie apart, bit by bit. And… I hate it. But then there's times it looks at me with her eyes and… I see why she did this in the first place, and I love the kid like I know Rosalie would. It's the most…" I searched for the right word. "difficult and confusing situation I have ever been in my entire existence." I concluded.
"It is quite overwhelming." Edward seemed lost in horrific memories of Bella.
"Tell us how all of this happened! And why in heaven's name was Aro here?!" Bella jumped to the questions everyone was dying to ask.
"Okay. It's a long story." I started. "So okay, right after you all left, Rosalie looked like death. She was getting worse by the seconds. Then conveniently, the Volturi shows up." Renesmee inhaled sharply. "Jane, Alec, Caius, Marcus, Demetri, Felix, Aro. All of them were here. I panicked and… Jane…" I shivered remembering the shadow of pain. "Then, I guess that was what upset Rosalie, so she…"
"It was worse than…?" Bella started careful of what she said about Renesmee's birth.
"I don't know…" I shrugged. I knew for a fact that Rosalie would have traded Bella any day.
"Yes." Carlisle said. "It was all just so abrupt and… violent. And the Volturi were standing right there, so it was difficult to keep an eye on what they were doing and tend to Rosalie at the same time. The Volturi were present during the birth of Rosslyn and the blood... It was too much for them…" Carlisle trailed off.
"Demetri attacked her." Edward gasped as he read the thoughts of the ones who were present. Bella's eyes widened.
"Yep. I showed him though." I boasted half heartedly.
"I bet." Edward agreed with me on my showing someone who's boss?!?! What kind of an alternate universe was this? I heard Rosslyn coo up to Renesmee and Renesmee giggled happily. The room brightened with smiles as they looked over Rosslyn.
"It's my turn." Bella breathed taking Rosslyn from Renesmee's arms slowly. Rosslyn seemed to like all of this attention. "He looks just like you Emmett." Bella smiled. Rosslyn seemed to take that as a compliment and he grinned a dimpled grin. Bella gasped and beamed down to the child.
"Poor kid." Jasper joked and I had to laugh. I just had to. It felt wrong though. It felt wrong without Rosalie being there to try to hide her own smile or trying not to laugh with me.
"He's such a pretty baby." Renesmee said.
"Well thanks Nessie." I smiled to her and she rolled her eyes.
"I wasn't talking about him looking like you." She kidded and I laughed the wrong, strained airy laugh again. I think Rosslyn stuck his tongue out at Renesmee. No, I must have been crazy… Maybe he did. Renesmee furrowed her brow seeming in disbelief about the same thing I was.
"Emmett…" Bella breathed panic in her voice. "What happened to Emmelie?" Her voice broke on the last question. I swallowed hard. For some reason, talking about the 'supposed to be daughter' was like talking about someone who'd… died.
"There was no Emmelie." I told her.
Bella paused for a long long time. "What happened to the second twin?" She inquired.
"Everett is…" I pondered for a long moment. I hadn't seen him at all!
"You have two sons?" Renesmee asked raising an arched eyebrow.
"Yep." I nodded still dwelling on the fact I hadn't seen the stranger that was my other son. It was almost like he was becoming more and more like a dream than a reality. It was like Everett was just part of my imagination.
"Where is he?" Bella asked. Rosslyn's big blue eyes remained on Bella's face.
"I… haven't seen him. He was awfully sick when he was born, but Carlisle says he's okay now. Right?" I clarified.
"Yes. Everett is just as healthy as Rosslyn, although Everett is terribly, remarkably smaller." Carlisle noted.
"Tell me more about them." I said. "I know nothing about how to take care of this kid." The room laughed heartily.
"Well, for one, Everett drinks blood. Rosslyn doesn't like it." Carlisle told me.
"Are you serious?!" I laughed and looked back to Rosslyn.
"Yes. I don't know why that is, but… It seems Rosslyn is half vampire and half growing changing vampire. And Everett… I don't know. It's like Everett goes against science. At first I thought since he was so much vampire, that he would not grow, but I've been measuring, and in just an hour, Everett has grown three eighths of an inch. Rosslyn's grown a full inch, so it's obvious Rosslyn grows faster than Everett. I think maybe I'll be able to record much about Rosslyn, but with Everett. It's like he's not supposed to exist. It goes against every rule in the vampire world almost." Carlisle continued.
"Baby vampires aren't supposed to exist at all Carlisle." I rolled my eyes at him.
"True true." Carlisle half smiled.
"Go on." I urged him.
"Everett doesn't sleep." Carlisle noted.
"Greeeeeeaaat." I laughed sarcastically. "Since Rosalie and I have nothing to do at night, go ahead and throw taking care of a sleepless infant into the mix!" I sighed jokingly. "Oh wait, Bella, you and Edward can baby sit 'kay?" I winked at Bella. She narrowed her eyes at me.
"Three words Emmett." She said expressionlessly. "Arm. Wrestling. Match." She cracked a smile.
"Yeah I remember the deal. You're no fun Bella." I sighed.
"Just remember that Emmett." Bella raised an eyebrow. "So okay, back to an important subject." Bella accented the word important especially.
"Oh yeah! And you'll never believe this." I snorted. "The reason the Volturi were here in the first place, was to ask mine and Rosalie's permission to take Rosslyn away when he turns five! They wanted Rose to give up all she's ever wanted right then and there!" I scoffed in a horribly degrading tone.
"I saw it in Aro's thoughts. He was frightened of me finding out he wanted the child too I believe." Edward said.
"I just… I can't imagine what kind of a sick twisted world Aro thinks we live in. Rose and I aren't just going to agree to give up Rosslyn. That's just… sick." There was no better word. I reached out to take Rosslyn back in my arms and Bella gave him to me gracefully.
Rosslyn smiled a dimpled smile. I smiled down to him and he cooed. Out of reflex, I looked over my shoulder, expecting Rosalie to laugh her glorious laugh and reach her dainty hand across my arm to stroke Rosslyn's beautiful face. But… she wasn't there. It was only the ghost of her. I still heard her screaming upstairs and it reminded me of the reality. The reality was bewildering. The reality was that darkness was holding my Rosalie down. I knew she would do anything to just release herself from this torture. Right now, I didn't doubt that she was even considering taking it all away: everything including Myself, Rosslyn, and Everett if only she could just stop hurting. I knew, if she could, she'd raise her hand and rip her heart out herself just so she'd die. I knew that Rosalie didn't remember anything that could ever be worth the torture she was going through.
That's why I needed to be with her. I expressionlessly handed Rosslyn back to Bella and trudged up the stairs like I was attending a funeral. I entered the room slowly the only sound was the ripping sobs and screams from Rosalie's trembling lips. Rosalie told me herself, when I was the one screaming, transforming, being consumed by the fire that it did no good to scream. But she was still writhing in agony, her screams full of anguish.
"Rosalie. It's all right Rose." I stepped closer to her, Alice looking back to me, her eyes full of a somber expression as she pried her fingers from Rosalie's death grip. "Rose. I'm here Rosalie. You're going to be okay. Don't cry angel." I whispered as I dropped to my knees by her bedside. I took her hand and her fingers grasped at mine like a diver gasping for oxygen after a long time under water. Alice left the room closing the door behind her. Rosalie's screams silenced, and her heavy panting softened to a gentler breathing pattern. I stroked her face with my other hand and her tensed muscles relaxed. I kissed her cheek and she let out a relieved sigh. "I'm not leaving you Rose. It's all going to be okay. I promise angel." I told her softly and for a while, she believed me…
