Sophia's POV
I didn't fully realize how much my baby would grow since it's only been a few days since I'd woken up a vampire and already she looked like she was 6 months old and crawling...it's been 6 days and she was already sleeping through the night and I empathized for Bella and Edward since they'd witnessed this not knowing that their growth stops but it was still hard because I wanted her to stay my little baby even though that wasn't going to happen.
Our daughter was currently sleeping tucked up against Demetri who was playing a videogame with Emmett and the other Cullen's that were still in the main house since Bella, Edward, Renesmee and Jacob had all left for the night since it was really late at night and it was a little strange for me still adjusting to the fact that we never have to sleep or feel tired at all which I showed much to Felix and Emmett's amusement.
I sighed leaning back...I kind of just wanted to wake up our daughter just to have something to do...how did these guys not get bored...I saw Demetri turn to me and I let my curiosity run wild on what Demetri did all night when I slept while I was human.
You'd expect us to have been on our way back to Volterra by now but Carlisle wanted to oversee a bit more of our daughters growth, like a lab-rat so he could compare her to Renesmee's since they were the first hybrids that he's ever come across and Aro was nothing if not intrigued himself which is why we had been allowed to stay.
"Come with me tigress" Felix suddenly whispered and I looked up seeing mischief in his eyes and I quickly remembered my promise to him, it's been a hectic last couple of days for me learning to cope with all my new found abilities and the bloodlust, I smirked getting up and we started walking out the back doors.
"Where are you going?" Demetri questioned.
"Just taking the tigress here for a walk, teach her a little something" Felix replied and I had to bite my tongue not to laugh and Demetri clearly saw this.
"What are you two up to?"
"We're just settling a little bet that I promised him" I shrugged and his eyes widened seemingly coming to the correct conclusion.
"No way"
"Sorry Demetri but you look a little tied down, I'll bring her back in one piece" Felix quickly said and we laughed disappearing out the back door and jumping the river which until a few days ago the thought alone scared the crap out of me.
"Now this I gotta see" I could still hear Emmett say and soon he was following behind me and Felix along with Jasper and Alice before I heard the distinct footfalls of Demetri follow soon after as we all stopped in a clearing that was spared trees so that we didn't tear apart and entire forest.
"Don't hold back tigress" Felix smirked as we started to circle each other getting into defensive crouches.
"Not even sure I can" I smirked back seeing Demetri out of the corner of my peripheral eyesight looking worried and I scoffed since I was actually going to enjoy this since so far I barely felt that I had changed with the way I was being coddled and watched like a hawk...yeah I know I had a burning thirst that reared it's ugly head whenever I smelt blood...I sometimes didn't know my own strength and have had to apologize to Esme more than once from accidently crushing a doorknob or two...oh shit!
I ducked as Felix charged me aware that I had let my endless thoughts and brain capacity to distract me but I had moved without even thinking flying to the opposite side of the clearing away from Felix...barely taking a thought before I was moving again cartwheeling away laughing at the frustrated look on Felix's face as he missed me again.
"Did you see that?" I asked the others who all were smiling including Demetri...watch this...I ran at Felix deciding to go on the attack now and flung him away with a mere flick of the wrist watching him hit the dirt sending a cloud up in the air but he was back on his feet charging at me but I stood my ground and he collided into me but I barely moved...my feet dragging back about two centimeters as I absorbed the impact then flipped over him and kicked him to the ground. "I'm awesome"
"Don't get cocky Sophia" Jasper warned me as I turned away to look at them only to get tackled to the ground that I'm sure would have knocked the wind out of my human body, I rolled Felix off me and was back on my feet backing up as we smirked.
"Seems it's one all tigress, whoever wins next wins?"
"Don't let it get you down Felix, I'm sure we'll rematch again" I laughed watching as he geared up to charge and I waited for him seeing his moments in slow motion with my new advanced vision and when he was close all I pictured in my head was getting away and that's what I did hearing the crash before a tree fell over from the force Felix had run into it knocking himself down. "YES!" I celebrated and they all turned to where I was as if surprised to see me before I was suddenly feeling hands on my arms and looking at Demetri's worried face. "What?" I questioned confused.
"What...are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked looking around seeing all their eyes on me.
"You disappeared...literally vanished before we heard you appear here" he explained and I looked around since I didn't understand what he meant.
"What do you mean I vanished?"
"It was like you just...teleported" Emmett answered for him and I frowned still confused.
"I've never seen anything like it" Jasper nodded and I turned back to Demetri.
"She has a gift" my eyes widened as I looked at Alice.
"You mean like a gift, gift?" I questioned excited since that was awesome, they all nodded with smiles except Demetri who still just looked worried.
"We should call Eleazar, maybe he can shed some light and if he's seen anything like it" we all went back to the Cullen house and they all recounted what happened to Carlisle who looked at me with astonished amazement.
"Have you ever heard of a gift like that?" Demetri asked him.
"No, sounds unique" Carlisle replied then turned towards me. "Do you think you could do it again?"
"I don't even know how I did it in the first place or that I had until they all looked at me like I was a ghost"
"That's what it seemed like, you disappeared then reappeared in a different spot" Felix replied and I smiled since that was actually kind of cool.
"Demetri you said that you couldn't track her when she was human?" Carlisle asked him but he shook his head.
"It was like she never existed, she had no tenor for me to latch onto and I couldn't even find her through anyone else either" he explained and I smirked since I've always liked the fact that he couldn't track me.
"Perhaps it is ghosting in a way, like a shield of some sort...she's able to manifest on a different plain of existence to escape danger which explains why it came out in that way when Felix was attacking her"
"So it's like an auto-avoidance teleportation?" I asked trying to understand what he was saying and he nodded.
"In a sense yes"
"That is so cool" I smirked and they all laughed at my excitement.
"I'm sure Eleazar could explain it better than I could, I'll call him" he left to his office and I turned back to everyone seeing them looking at me.
"Do it again" Emmett told me straight away.
"I can't just do it on a whim, I told you I don't even know how I did it before" I argued right before he sped towards me but I moved out of the way with normal vampire speed and he crashed into a table knocking a vase over.
"Emmett" Esme scolded him as we all laughed at his apologetic look her way.
"No fair, your supposed to disappear"
"I told you I can't just do it" I turned to Demetri seeing him frowning so I walked up to him. "Lets take a walk"
"Boring" Emmett pouted leaving and I rolled my eyes since he was so childish but I grabbed Demetri's hand and we left trusting them to look after our daughter who was currently asleep in Rosalie's arms and I was content with that knowing how much Rosalie loved the chance to have a baby in the house again with how much she adored Renesmee.
"Are you upset with my gift?" I asked him as we were far enough away.
"I'm not upset, just surprised...I always had a feeling that you were special and that there was a reason I couldn't track you but this...its even more amazing than I'd ever thought" he smiled squeezing my hand and I smiled squeezing his back watchful of my strength that I didn't hurt him. "Your amazing Sophia"
"I might even get to stay in Volterra now, if Aro thinks my gift is worth keeping"
"You would have been able to stay Sophia, you were already apart of our coven before you were changed" I nodded not arguing it but at least I felt my change had a purpose now. "You know why were alone, we should finally name our daughter" I groaned stopping since that had been a common thing he'd ask me for the last few days but I was still stuck.
"Felix told me about your talk with him before everything went south...I like Luna" I was actually surprised that Felix had told him about that but she didn't look like a Luna.
"It doesn't suit her" I recoiled. "Maybe for a middle name if that's alright with you"
"Of course it is, I'm in love with the entire to honor my mother but be unique as well" I nodded as we startled walking again just taking in the beauty of the night. "What about Althea, in Greek it means with healing power, we can even call her Thea for short which means goddess of light, or a gift from god"
"Althea Luna Georgiou-Volturi" I smiled since it sounded perfect and was Greek just like I wanted to pay homage to his heritage and hers. "Thea...it's perfect" he pulled me to a stop and we kissed, it taking everything in me to lean back before it got too wild.
"I cannot wait until we're back home and I can show you the real me in the sheets" he sighed making me laugh a little because we hadn't done anything since I'd gotten pregnant obviously because I didn't feel comfortable given we were in a house full of vampires and guests so it just didn't seem right.
"We'll be going home soon" I told him and he nodded pulling me into a hug where we stood and enjoyed the feeling of being wrapped up in each other's arms before the sun started to rise and I turned towards the light as it rose in the horizon before turning back to Demetri.
"Go on" he smiled knowing exactly what I wanted and I smiled quickly moving into the rays of light lifting my hand seeing a million sparkles start lighting up my body as the sun rays bounced off my granite crystal like skin and I laughed watching it create a rainbow effect on the ground and trees around me feeling like a three year old with something shiny but I didn't care...I was beautiful...I turned seeing Demetri smiling leaning against a tree in the shadows content to just watch me marvel at the perfectness of this moment and I gave him a pleading look to join me...he shook his head.
"Just this once and I'll never ask you again" I begged pouting the lip for extra effect.
"You're lucky I love you" he sighed pushing off the tree and walked towards me joining me in the light of the sun and I smiled running my hands over his arms which had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows meaning I was able to see him glittering next to me, our skin in matching pale shade and glittering beneath the sun before his hand cupped my cheek and I nuzzled against it. "Your so gorgeous mi amore" I smiled kissing his hand before I leant up and kissed him again.
"Okay, I want to see our daughter now" I smiled knowing that she'd be awake by now so we walked back to the Cullen house and wasn't disappointed as we walked in and saw our daughter crawling around on the floor with Renesmee playing with her but as soon as she noticed me and Demetri she immediately crawled over and I dropped to my knees to let her crawl into my lap. "Hi baby girl" I picked her up and cradled her in my arms gently as I stood. "My darling Thea"
"Thea?" Felix questioned making Demetri and I smirk as he came over and stood next to me smiling down at his daughter, I always knew that once he saw our baby that he'd fall in love and he didn't disappoint, our daughter had him wrapped around her little finger.
"Her name" I smiled looking back up at everyone watching their surprised looks since they'd all been waiting for Demetri and I to finally name her.
"About time" Emmett laughed making us all laugh too.
"So what is it?" Rosalie asked smiling at us.
"Althea Luna Georgiou-Volturi" Demetri replied smiling down at our daughter who smiled back up at him and I let him take her from me because I would never tire of seeing them interact as I knew that she loved him just as much as I did.
"Well that's a mouthful but it's beautiful" Felix smiled and I nodded locking my eyes with Thea's gorgeous blue eyes that weren't mine or Demetri's but a mix of both and so beautiful and unique that it suited her perfectly.
"We're just calling her Thea for short" I told them as I laid my head on Demetri's shoulder and once again allowed myself to get caught up in the beauty of my family because I never thought I'd have this or that it would be this perfect.
"Eleazar will be here in the morning" Carlisle announced a little bit later as I was sitting on the couch feeding my daughter holding my breath to avoid the temptation for myself with Demetri and Felix sitting with me in case I needed them even though I'd only fed myself not too long ago but I'd rather be cautious still.
"Thank you Carlisle" I smiled up at him. "For everything that you've done for me when you didn't have to"
"It's quite alright, I've enjoyed getting to know you and of course have another little one around" I nodded looking back down at Thea who was drinking quite greedily. "Your welcome any time" I smiled since I hoped I could visit again because I would miss everyone, despite the Volturi and the Cullen's war not only a month ago I felt like this had brought the two covens closer to some kind of treaty between us.
Thea finished her bottle and Felix took it to get rid of the smell allowing me to breath and I cuddled with my daughter who was ready for her nap now that she's full and she didn't disappoint by yawning and cuddled up into my chest closing her eyes.
"Sleep well my baby girl" I wished her as she drifted off and Demetri joined me sliding in behind me allowing me to lean back into his arms as they came around me and rested on Thea's back rubbing soft calm circles to help her off to sleep. "I can't get over just how amazing she is and I can't believe that she's ours or that I'm a vampire, it all just feels like one big dream that I'm going to wake up from...like I imagined this all" I admitted leaning my head against his shoulder.
"Me too, I never thought I'd ever have this or want it for that matter but you mi amore have brought surprise and purpose into my life and gave me something that I never even knew I was missing...a family" I smiled closing my eyes despite not needing to sleep and just rested comfortably in my husbands arms while our baby girl slept in mine feeling completely and utterly surrounded by the love of our little family. "I love you, my precious girls" my smile widened.
About an hour later Thea was finished with her nap and Rosalie stole her away for playtime and while I wanted to join her I was determined to find more about my gift meaning I was standing outside in the Cullen's sort of backyard with nearly everyone except Rosalie and Renesmee who seemed to always be around Thea probably just glad to have another child around while I tried to focus on trying to do...whatever it was I'd done before.
"You just look constipated" Emmett spoke up making me glare at him and he smirked when Demetri turned to glare at him too.
"Your thinking about it too hard Soph" he told me coming over.
"How did you guys do it?"
"Every gift is different" Edward explained. "Mine manifested straight away and I had to learn out to focus on one voice instead of hearing everyone's all the time" I sighed and turned to Bella since she was the newest and had the newest knowledge on how to manifest her gift but so far she'd been hesitant to disclose that information and I knew why since Aro wanted her and if he knew the full extent of her abilities than the war would just continue.
"When I was learning Kate told me to visualize it, how it moves...it's color" she explained and I closed my eyes trying to see it that way and I saw...black...almost like smoke...a dark cloud.
"Soph?" I heard Demetri's voice but further away and when I opened my eyes I was on the opposite side of the river and smirked since this was so cool and I could definitely have some fun...I closed my eyes focusing again. "Sophia!" I pictured the spot behind Demetri and felt something...like a pressure in my head before I opened my eyes and I was behind him.
"Boo!" I spoke and he jumped spinning around eyes wide and I couldn't help laughing since finally I had achieved pay back.
"Where did you go?" Felix asked me trying to hide his own laughter.
"I pictured myself across the river and then I was just there, then I pictured myself appearing behind Demetri and it happened"
"So you have to picture where you want to go?" Carlisle asked and I nodded.
"It's like I ghost distances"
"It's interesting, I wonder if there's a distance limitation" I shrugged. "Try imagining yourself in somewhere else, somewhere you can't see" I nodded closing my eyes and visualized Volterra...Demetri's room but I didn't feel anything and when I opened my eyes I was still standing where I had been.
"Well I can't go to Italy"
"Maybe something a bit closer" Esme smiled at me and I nodded looking up at the house and pictured my daughter...I could hear her in the lounge room on the second floor so I pictured that closing my eyes and felt the familiar feeling before opening my eyes and smiled when I saw her and Renesmee then focused and went back outside this time visualizing myself in front of Demetri and he sighed when I appeared.
"It seems limited but I think the distance could change over time"
"You mean I could potentially travel countries with practice"
"Possible, only time will tell" he nodded and I smiled. "Perhaps also seeing where your going at least once" I nodded since it made sense.
"I'm really gonna hate parts of this gift" Demetri sighed making everyone laugh as we headed back inside and I knew I was going to have fun with this until it eventually stopped being fun which would probably be never.
