Chapter 24


Rosalie was a lot more upset with Emmett than she thought she'd be.

"Angel," he whined, giving her a pleading look. "It was an accident I swear."

He made an 'x' pattern over where his (unbeating) heart was.

The undead couple were just outside of their family home, resting on the hood of Rosalie's car.

Rosalie rolled her eyes but leaned closer to him nonetheless and she felt Emmett's shoulders slump in relief. She mentally snorted, he wasn't out of the proverbial dog house just yet.

The absolutely heartbroken look on Harry's face hadn't settled well with her for some reason.

How could a stick possibly mean so much to her? There was definitely a deeper story behind it.

Rosalie had a hard time believing that she cared for her family that much.

They obviously abused her when she was younger.

Rosalie knew the signs and results of undernourishment when she saw it. She'd also seen the beginnings of scars on Harry's abdomen and back whenever her work shirt would ride up. Then there was the scar on the back of her right hand.

Rosalie had noticed that particular scar upon first meeting her, even though the years had caused it to fade a bit. It was hard not to notice a lot of things about Harry given the heightened abilities her Vampire nature granted her.

Rosalie felt her eyes narrow.

Harry seemed over it to say the least, but Rosalie still felt…concerned about the young woman.

Emotional scars were nothing to laugh at. She, perhaps knew that more than anyone.

She really hated things like that – child abuse.

It showed how twisted some people were.

Sometimes, humans could be the worst kind of monsters in this world.

Rosalie frowned and when Emmett threw his arm around her shoulders, she elbowed him.

Hard.

She didn't know what to be more upset about – the fact that Harry was a victim of child abuse, the fact that her lovable oaf had distressed Harry or the fact that she was actually worried about Harry.

After all, what was the use of becoming attached to a human?

Emmett winced and he held his side. He smiled a placating sort of smile. "Babe, it totally wasn't my fault. I was just surprised. How was I supposed to know that that stick burned?"

Burned?

"Look, my hand's still singed."

Emmett held out his right hand.

Rosalie stared curiously at his still scorched palm.

She cradled his hand, turning it over in hers and observing it.

Because just as weird as a stick that burned was, so was the fact that Emmett's hand hadn't begun to heal.

A/N: A lot of those scars weren't actually a result of child abuse, but Rose doesn't know that. So yeah, as to why Harry's wand was broken, hope this is plausible enough. I'm working with several concepts as it regards to Harry's magic and how it reacts to the Vampires/in the Twilight world. I just can't give much details at this point in time...Thanks for being patient though.

The next drabble will be up soon.
