Chapter 51
As Haley, Riley and Will walked down the stairs Haley asked Carlisle. "Carlisle is Riley an actual vampire like us?"
"I was born in my mother's stomach Grandpa so I can't be." Riley said. "Vampires are created out of venom not born."
Carlisle tilted his head. "I can't be for sure. I'll have to run a few tests." He turned to Emmett. "Turn all the lights off."
Emmett nodded and suddenly the room went completely dark.
Carlisle was suddenly by Riley's side. "Can you see your mother?"
Riley turned to look at Haley. "Just barely."
"What can you see?" he asked.
"Her silver eyes and her bronze hair."
Emmett turned on the lights.
"Come outside with me."
Riley followed Carlisle outside.
"Try lifting a boulder."
Riley nodded and walked in front of the boulder and tried to lift it.
When he couldn't Edward said. "Try smashing it."
Riley punched and punched the large boulder but only left a large dent.
"Strange." Carlisle said. "He seems to have a limited of vampire strength and eyesight."
"So I'm not a vampire."
"But he drinks blood like the rest of you." Samantha said.
"It's clear that he does drink the blood of animals but not a full vampire. That's very strange. His not like what Alexandra was."
"Can you make me one?"
"We shall see."
Haley's eyes narrowed as she walked over to Riley and touched his chest.
She frowned as she did so. "Carlisle come and feel this. I can feel something in Riley's chest. I'm not sure what it is."
Carlisle walked to her side and placed his hand on Riley's chest.
His eyes widened in surprise. "Amazing. It's his heart. I can feel his heart beating. It's slower than normal. It's not like a human's heart and we can't hear it with our ears. This is very strange. You can only feel it and hear it when you place a hand or ear on his chest."
Haley nodded in agreement as she placed her hand back on Riley's chest. "Wow." She whispered.
"Is this meant to mean anything?" Riley asked.
"I don't know." Carlisle said. "I've never come across anything like this before."
Later….
Haley looked outside to see Samantha and Riley sitting on the grass.
"What are they doing?"
"They're attempting to bring back Alexandra." Edward said.
Haley sighed and walked out the door towards Samantha and Riley.
Without looking around Samantha said. "Mum we don't need your help."
"I was just seeing what you were doing."
Samantha turned and raised one eyebrow.
Haley rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright. I'm not sure that you can do this."
"Why? I do have half of your abilities don't I? I'm sure that I can do this."
Samantha turned and closed her eyes and started to consecrate.
Suddenly someone appeared in front of them.
Haley gasped. "Carlisle! Come quick!"
Carlisle along with Edward, Bella, Emmett, Jasper, Esmé, Will, Rosalie and Alice by his side.
They gasped together.
"Impossible." Jasper said.
Riley and Samantha stood.
"Alexandra." Samantha whispered.
She smiled. "Hello brother, hello sister."
"I…. I can't believe it. It's really you." Samantha said.
Alexandra nodded. "Yes. But I'm only here in spirit and I'm here for a short time only before I disappear again."
"Alex I wanted to say sorry." Riley said. "Sorry that I couldn't sense that they were coming. I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you and I'm sorry that you died because of me."
Alexandra sighed and closed her eyes. "Riley please don't blame yourself. The fault was no ones. I was the one who acted so recklessly when I knew that they would be more powerful than me. I just wanted to protect my family from harm. So I acted without thinking."
Haley walked towards her and said. "Alexandra."
Alex opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Haley. "Hello mother." Alex suddenly looked down.
Her feet were beginning to fade.
"I have to go." She looked at her family. "I will always be with you." Before she disappeared she looked at Samantha and Riley. "Anytime you need me you know what to do." Alexandra turned to Riley. "And Riley take care of our little sister. Keep her safe."
Samantha and Riley nodded as she disappeared.
Three weeks later….
Samantha joined her family as they hunted.
She sat on a rock and watched her family as they sucked the blood out of animals.
She tried not to make disgusted faces while watching them.
Suddenly she heard something calling out her name. "Samantha."
Samantha looked around confused. "Did you hear that?"
Riley looked up from his kill and smiled at her. "No. Maybe you're hearing things." His eyes widened and grinned. "Or maybe you're going crazy."
Samantha rolled her eyes and stood. "I'm not going crazy Riley."
"How do you know?" Riley replied. "Your mind could be slowly losing it."
Samantha ignored him. "I'm going to check it out. I'll meet you back at the house."
"Ok just be careful." Haley said.
Samantha nodded. "I will."
"Don't go crazy while you're away from us." Riley yelled.
Samantha ignored him as she walked away.
'His acting more and more like Uncle Emmett.' Samantha thought to herself.
