Edward immediately called out to Sirius and Severus when they arrived to the house. Orion looked to be better, but his heart beat was very faint. It scared Edward that Esme could cause this much damage. It's definitely a form of empathy, but more deadly.
Sirius came rushing in with Severus at his heels. "What happened?" Sirius demanded.
He and Severus sat next to Orion and ran diagnostic charms. "He's dying," Severus said horrified. He felt guilt well up in him, but shook it off.
Edward and Sirius both recoiled at Severus' words. "What do you mean dying? What in the bloody hell happened Edward?" Sirius demanded again. His eyes held an insane edge and Edward took in a human breath.
"When you left with Teddy Orion was saying that when Aro dies, so will Alice. That it will be best to kill Alice before she could do more damage and put his family at risk. Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme did not take kindly to this. Esme,' he hesitated and lightly brushed Harry's hair out of his pale face. 'Esme had unconsciously suffocated Orion."
Sirius' face was thunderous. Orion didn't need thid after everything he's been through and after being accused of becoming a Dark Lord. No that just won't do Sirius thought. Sirius stood and apparated out. Edward just hung his head, staring at his mate. He couldn't lose him. They needed to raise their son together. He needed to live.
Edward's eyes widened. "Where is Teddy?"
"He's sleeping in a cot upstairs in Orion's room," said Severus distractedly. He was busy casting spells to stabilize Orion. It was taking longer than usual. Whatever Esme did had drained him physically and mentally. His magic is low and he needed to stabilize it. Our magic is so finely tuned with wizards that the forced removal of it will kill the wizard. Severus wouldn't let that happen. Not after doubting Orion and his kind heart.
Edward had let out a breath and strained his ears to hear his new son breathing. His hands twitched to go to him, but told himself his son was safe. His mate however, was not. His heart was still beating, but it was faint. His mom did this. The women who loved him after his turning, almost killed his mate. His instincts was screaming for vengeance and to be perfectly honest, he was close to giving in. As his mate's heatbeat stayed the same, he got even angrier. Growls were ripping out of his chest and he was seconds away from killing Esme. The abrupt stop of his mate's heart brought him out of his anger.
"Severus?! What's going on?" Edward yelled. He knew what was happening though. His mate was dead.
"Severus looked devastated. Edward could see his eyes well with tears. "His magic. It was drained and his body couldn't deal with the loss."
Edward immediately raced forward and bit his mate anywhere he could. He tried to get his venom through his system as an act of desperation. "Keep going Edward. It might work," Severus encouraged.
Edward stood back, blood racing down his chin, hoping his mate would show a reaction. When nothing happened, he lost his senses. His mate was gone. He was going to kill Esme. Without a word, he ran faster than he ever had with killing Esme on his mind.
He ripped the front door and grabbed Esme by the neck. He barely registered Sirius' voice shouting in the backround. "You killed my mate." He couldn't say anything further, the anger choking him. He was about to rip her head clean off, when he was pulled back. He roared and lauched himself at the person stopping him.
Carlisle tried to fight, but it wasn't enough. Edward was on a war path and nothing would stop him. Edward had thrown Carlisle and raced back to Esme. He ripped her arm off and was going for her neck when he heard, "Stop! He's turning Edward. Now if you don't go and comfort your screaming son then I will be the one killing you!" Severus sneered.
Edward stopped and ran to Severus. "What's wrong with my son?"
Severus looked at the vampire and frowned. "It seems that he felt Orion die and is feeling the loss. I don't know if he felt that Orion was alive. You should be with him."
Without a glance behind him, he was gone.
...
With Severus and Orion
Once Edward had left, Orion started to convulse in pain. Severus had quickly put up a silencing charm, but it was too late. Teddy was crying hysterically. Severus raced to the room and saw the his face etched with pain. He quickly figured out that Teddy felt his bearer die and didn't know he was technically still alive. "Shh Teddy its okay. Mummy's okay."
It didn't seem to calm him down and he heard a door downstairs. Going downstairs, he found Draco and Jasper staring at Orion. "Why is Orion turning?" Jasper asked.
Severus held the crying baby closer and sat down across from Orion. "He died and Edward turned him."
Jaspers eyebrows furrowed. "Why isn't he here?"
"He left before Orion started to turn and presumed him dead," Severus answered. Though he said it nonchalantly, Draco and Jasper could hear the sadness in his tone.
Jasper immeidately understood and started to head for the door. Severus stopped him before he could leave. "Take Teddy and I will get him."
Draco grabbed the baby and started to rock him. It seems no one noticed Orion laying still and was waking up. "He's going to kill her isn't he?" Draco asked.
"Yesand no one will be able to stop him. He thinks his mate is dead right now and will not stop until he avenged Orion," Jasper explained.
"Who's dead?"
Both Jasper and Draco stared at Orion. Shouldn't he still be asleep? Doesn't the turning process take days? "Um hello? Who's dead. Why is my son screaming? Where is Edward?"
Orion was getting hysterical and didn't seem to notice he wasn't human anymore. His eyes were reserved for Teddy and went to get him. Draco had turned away. He had heard about newborn vampires and their bloodlust. Jasper tensed and was ready to restrain Orion if he lunged for Draco. Orion however was just confused, but he was starting to get angry. Why weren't they passing him his son?
"Give me Teddy!" Orion demanded.
Jasper ran in front of Draco. "You were just turned Orion. Trust me, you don't want to hurt anyone."
It took a few seconds for Orion to realize what he meant. Now that it was pointed out to him, he noticed how different everything felt. His eyesight was overwhelming as he could see everything clearly. He saw specks of dust that he shouldn't be able to see. His hand went to his throat as he felt a slight burning.
"Are you sure I was turned? I don't feel the bloodlust Edward told me about, "Orion said. His eyes were still on Teddy and it was killing him not being able to comfort his son.
"Look at your legs and your wrists," demanded Draco. He felt more calm, but was still cautious. Orion indeed looked at the places and saw faint bite marks. He had thought they would go away, but it must've been his status as a wizard that didn't heal them.
Before Orion could demand his son, he was embraced by his mate. The pain, fear, and anger of his mate made his eyes water, but no tears fell. "Edward are you okay?"
He felt a slight nod against his shoulder. "How are you awake already?" he asked quietly.
Orion tightened his arms a little more. "Maybe it's because of my magic." He heard Severus expain to him that his magic wouldn't have been able to help him because Esme had drained it.
"Then how am I awake?"
Sirius had a hand on his belly and hugged Severus. "I don't know pup but we will figure it out. For now let's focus on you. You need to hunt."
Edward let go of Orion and saw his mates red eyes turn black. "I'll take you Ry."
I want to see Teddy Orion thought.
Edward placed a kiss on Orion's forehead. "You need to feed first. You obviusly don't have the bloodlust but it's better to be safe than sorry my love."
Orion nodded and they walked to the door. "Folllow your instincts and follow me."
Edward raced through the forest and Orion followed. It was the most amazing thing he ever experienced. His senses were heightened and running felt like flying. He laughed in joy and stopped where Edward had. Edward motioned Orion to the deer and nodded. Orion closed his eyes and attacked. Hunting came naturally to him as did fighting. He took down the deer and motioned Edward over. When they were both fed, they head back towards the house.
Orion immediately rushed to Teddy and grabbed him. The baby stopped crying and looked up. His grin was so wide and reached his little arms up. "Ma!"
Orion was stunned. He didn't know babies could talk so early, but it might be his genes that are making him develop faster. He couldn't stop himself from kissing all over Teddy's face. He turned and Orion's wide smile made Edward's breath catch. "Did you hear that Ed? He said ma!"
Edward gave his mate a sweet, but lingering kiss. "I heard. Look, he turned his eyes like yours."
Orion looked and let out a small laugh. His son had Edward's bronze hair, but his eyes were red. He wondered if his eyes would have to be glamoured.
"You're such a smart boy Teddy bear," Orion cooed. The baby just giggled and snuggled into Orion's arms.
Sensing his son was tired, he started to rock him to sleep. Teddy fell asleep quickly and Orion sat down. He didn't put down his son and just stared at him in awe. He was so much more beautiful with his vampire sight.
He sighed and turned to everyone else. Edward had sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "So um what just happened?"
