Chapter 11

Previously on WTT:

Carlisle walked over and wrapped his arm protectively around my shoulders, "This is my new daughter, Liliana."

The vampire chuckled darkly as he met my brown eyes with his bright red ones. I froze as I realized this vampire was no different than Ross with the same sadistic red eyes that cost me so much.

"Well hello, Liliana, I'm Aro."

3rd Person POV

Liliana stood there frozen in fear of the old vampire but refused to show it. She sensed this vampire was high in power considering her family's reaction to her meeting this vampire. She could sense the fact her family was afraid off her meeting this vampire.

"So Liliana, how long have you known the Cullens?" the vampire asked the young girl who was being lead to the couch and was sat in between Carlisle and Esme who had a protective arm around her waist.

"She's been with us for about two weeks now." Edward answered for her quickly.

The old vampire looked at the mind reader, "I believe I asked Liliana." he looked back at the the girl, "So, before you met the Cullens, were you an orphan?"

The healer nodded, "Yes, I was an orphan before I met the Cullens."

Aro looked curiously at the girl, "By knowing the Cullens, I assume you know about..." he trailed off living the girl to fill in the blanks.

She nodded again, "Yes, I know about them." She was sure he could sense the double meaning in her words.

He nodded at her words and looked around the room before looking over the girl again. He was still confused though. Her scent. It was as if her scent was invisible to him but when she stood at the entrance he was sure he smelt the scent of apples and vanilla but then when she was being moved to the couch he could smell the scent of lavender. And now, he couldn't smell anything, it was as if she wasn't even there.

"Your scent, it's very odd. It's as if you disappeared from the room." the small vampire beside Aro voiced his thoughts.

The girl loosened up a little but not enough to look comfortable to everyone in the living room. "it's not the first time I've heard that before." she said to the four stranger vampires sitting across from them.

The two big vampires behind the old vampire and the young one looked confused at the comment and it didn't go unnoticed by the family.

"Lily is a special case in the human world." the emapth said trying to ease into the situation tenderly.

"Hmm" the old vampire pondered for a second before he held out his hand towards Lily and she froze at the sudden movement. "It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you. Your family would never allow it, besides I'm just trying to make sense of this all. So, your hand please?"

The girl looked over at her adoptive parents and they just nodded, their expressions void of any emotions but in Esme's eyes you could tell she was nervous about this situation but didn't say anything out loud on it. With their nods of encouragement, Lily slowly outstretched her hand out to meet the one of the old vampire.

Their hands met and Lily jumped slightly at his touch and started to slow her heart but was extremely tense.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

LPOV

"Interesting. Very interesting."

What was so interesting about touching my hand? Did he have a power like Edward, Alice, Jasper, Bella, and Nessie? I could see Edward nod slightly at my thought in response in the corner of my eye. So he did have a power. But what did his power have to deal with touching my hand.

He must have seen my confused face, because he released my hand and looked at me directly in the eye which creeped me out to no end. "So, you not only know of the existence of vampires but you have a vampire after you?" I froze. "well, I must say, you have one interesting girl on your hands Carlisle."

Carlisle nodded, "Yes, we do. And we're very proud to have her with us."

Aro nodded at him, "I can very well see that. But you do remember our laws about this Carlisle?" Laws?

"I'm very aware of our laws Aro." Carlisle answered him as I felt Esme stiffen beside me. Aro smirked slightly as I heard the low growls coming from my family behind me but it seemed like Edward and Rosalie's growls were louder than the rest of them.

He looked at all of us in turn before landing his gaze on me, "So, you know that having a human know about our kind is a strict violation of our law, right?" the tension seemed to rise at his words. Me knowing about my family is a violation?

Aro stood up without breaking his gaze on me, "You know the consequences of your actions, Carlisle."

He nodded at Aro's words and looked warily at the family. Everyone seemed wary of his words and it made me wonder what the consequences were and why they had to suffer for it when it wasn't them who told me.

"Jane, would you do the honors?" the small blonde girl stood up and looked straight into my eyes as she smirked.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as I felt myself being tossed to the other side of the room and the sounds of everyone's cries and someone's screams. I tried to sit carefully and disregarded my pain to see that it was Esme who pushed me out of the way and was now withering in pain on the floor. Carlisle was being restrained by Jasper and Emmett while everyone had glares on their faces and was growling at the small vampire who just continued smirking. I looked at each expression to see that Carlisle's was one of complete anguish and pain, and my siblings all had the same expressions of pain, hatred, and sadness. It was all to much. The one person who I thought was my mother was now on the floor in pain while my family was standing there watching in horror. I had to do something and quick.

"Esme!" I cried as I crawled over to her only to have Edward's arm wrap around my waist and hoist me up in restraint. "NO! Let me go!" I cried out in vain as the tears streamed down my face. I looked up at Aro who was watching us in complete satisfaction. "Stop it! Leave her alone! She had nothing to do with this! No of them did! Hurt me, not them! Just stop it!" I screamed at the vampire as I finally got released from Edward's grasp. Slowly, I crawled over Esme to try and help. I put my hand on her forehead and tried to concentrate on relieving her of her pain. My hand started to glow a deep blue as I concentrated. It seemed to work for minute but with this being my first object that wasn't an animal, I didn't know if it was working or not.

"Jane, stop." I heard Aro say. Esme started to stop thrashing and lowered her cries as she opened her eyes.

Esme looked up at me and smiled before crushing me in a hug. Then I felt Carlisle run over and hug us both. "you can put your hand down now Lily, I'm fine." I heard Esme tell me. Oh right, my hand. I took my hand down and made sure it stopped healing and soon I was hit a huge wave of exhaustion. I fell limp in Esme's arms but I didn't go completely under.

"Lily!" I heard my family cry. I wanted to respond but my exhaustion was to much and I couldn't find my voice to respond back.

"So, its true. She does have healing powers." Aro breathed. "Hmm, she'll make a great addition to the guard that's for sure." I could hear the low growls of family signaling it was not a good idea for him to say that. "But of course it will be her choice. Since she is fifteen, she will have to be changed into one of us, when she is of the age of eighteen when there will no suspicions, understand?"

"Yes, we understand, and she will be changed when she is eighteen." Carlisle said in a strained voice, despite of the many growls behind him.

I could practically hear the smirk in his voice, "Good. Well, I think we should get going. See you soon and hopefully, she will be one of us when we come back."

With those words, the exhaustion took over and I fell into a deep sleep.

EsPOV

That was the most excruciating pain in the world. But when I felt Lily's small hand on my hand I felt like it was an icepack on the fire that was burning. It was as if she was penetrating the burning and giving me some relief to the pain.

When Jane stopped with the pain I could see Lily looking down at me with her worried expression, tears streaming down her face and her hand was still on my forehead giving me relief from the pain that was still lingering. I crushed her in a tight hug with all the love and gratitude I could give when I felt Carlisle run and gave me a hug, along with kissing every inch of my face making sure I was fine. After a minute, I told her she could put her hand down and that's when she fell limp in my arms. The family started freaking out and was just about to kill the four vampires that stood in front us.

Edward, tell Jasper to calm everyone down and we'll discuss this later. I thought to him as I soon felt everyone start to calm down a little.

Carlisle pulled me into his lap along with Lily in my lap as we listened for Aro's words on the matter and if it weren't for the girl in my arms, there would be some dead vampires burning in flames right there on the spot. They gave Lily three years before she has to be changed. Three years! I wanted to cry so bad right there. My Lily has had such a hard life to begin with and now she has to look forward to being a vampire. So instead of having the option of turning into one of us, she is now forced to be one of us.

Once Aro and the others left, everyone ran over and squished Lily and I into a hug. And I was grateful for it, cause it was not only a reassurance but a comfort.

"Oh Esme, are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you feel any pain? Are y-" I shushed my husband as he started to go overboard with the never-ending questions.

"Carlisle, I'm fine. No, I'm not in any pain. Lily here helped with that." I answered him and my children's thoughts.

"MOM!" Alice and Rosalie cried as they crushed me in a hug as Carlisle took Lily in his arms to help not cause my sleeping girl any harm from the massive hugs I was receiving.

"Shh, girls, I'm fine. It's okay." I tried to console the dry sobbing girls but my efforts were in vain, cause they just continued to sob. "Girls, I'm fine, I swear. I wouldn't lie if I wasn't hurt, would I?"

Soon the girls sobs turned into small whimpers as I stroked the back of their hair to attempt to calm them down.

"You're sure your fine? No pains or anything?" Rosalie hiccuped as she sat down on the couch next to Alice.

I nodded to her as I was suddenly scooped into a big bear hug by none other then my big bear of a son. "Hi to you too Emmett."

"Are you absolutely sure your okay, mom?" He asked.

I nodded, "yes dear, I'm perfectly fine now."

He looked me over before setting me down and I was scooped yet again by my other two sons. They were sensible and only hugged me for a few seconds asked if I was alright before running to their mates.

My gaze followed my eldest son as he was about to head upstairs. "Edward, were is Bella?"

He looked at me hesitantly before sighing and answering, "She upstairs with Renesmee. Bella is distraught and slightly upset with herself." My face must have given my confusion away for he said, "With her being a mental shield, and all, she was upset with herself for not doing anything sooner to you."

I just nodded before I walked over to Lily, picked her up in my arms and headed upstairs to her room. Carefully, I slipped her under the covers before placing a kiss on her forehead. "Thank you sweetheart." I whispered leaving to Edward and Bella's room across the hall.

"You can come in Esme." I heard Bella call as I lifted my hand to knock. I slipped into the room to see Bella sitting on the bed while Renesmee was trying to comfort her mother.

"Oh Bella." I cried softly as I ran over to her and took her in my arms.

She started to dry sob uncontrollably as I stroked her back in soothing circles. "I'm so so-sorry Esme! I didn't know what was going on and I was so scared! I should have done something instead of stand there! I should have! I-!"

"Bella, Bella, Bella, it's okay, I know you were scared and I'm not going to hold it against you, I promise. I'm fine and we're all safe and together, alright?" I told her as she continued to sob.

Her sobs turned into sniffles, "I'm sorry, but I feel like it was my fault you were hit by Jane in the first place. I mean I'm a freakin' mental shield for crying out loud! I should have been able to snap out of it to protect you."

"Bella." She looked down at her hands, "Bella look at me" Slowly, she looked up at me, her eyes filled with pain as her sniffles turned into hiccups. "Oh Bella, I told you already, it's not your fault. I'm not going to hold this against you. You were scared and I understand that. Now please can we just let this go and spent the next three years peacefully?"

She nodded slowly, "Yes, I'll let it go. But I'm still sorry. Will you forgive me?"

I squeezed her tightly, "There's nothing to forgive. I love you Bella."

"I love you too, Mom." She whispered. I held her tight before I kissed her forehead and released her.

"Alright, I'm going to check in on Lily. I'll see you later sweetheart." I hugged her one last time before I headed out of the room to go back to Lily's room.

I slipped in to see Lily sleeping soundly. She looked so peaceful lying there, but something seemed off. Her expression was what was off. Instead of one of peace and serenity, it was one of pain and sadness. It made me wonder why she had that expression on her face.

"She's having a nightmare about what happened." My eldest told me as I walked over to the sleeping girl.

"You know, I will never be more grateful for her in my entire existence." I turned around a smiled at my husband as he walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist and I leaned back into him.

"Me too, Me too."

LPOV

I continued running only to realize that I was running down the hall where my room was. I passed by Edward's room and made it to my door. There were voices coming from in my room and I tried to figure out who could be in my room. I opened the door to see my entire family was standing there watching the bed which seemed weird, I mean, what was on the bed if I'm right here?

My question was answered when Carlisle moved his position from the bed to over where Esme stood. I was on the bed. Me. And what freaked me out more was what my family was saying.

"It's been two days Carlisle, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Esme asked. Two days? I've been asleep for two days?

"I don't know, it seems to me that when she was healing you, it took a lot out of her. She's just exhausted and resting to get her strength back." Carlisle explained.

She seemed to take it but the same question seemed to be on everyone's faces.

"Uh, what are we going to tell Seth about this?" Emmett asked the question that was on everyone's mind. Seth? Oh no, what did they tell Seth?

Jacob sighed as he tightened his hold on Nessie, "I have him on patrol, well, several patrols lately and that's exhausting him so he just goes straight home. It seems to keep him busy."

"But you haven't told him, what all happened? Right?" Bella asked.

"Right, I haven't told him anything besides that Lily is fine and bonding with her family. He doesn't know a thing about what happened." He answered.

So Seth doesn't know that I'm here sleeping or about what happened? Oh and they can't here me either. Crap! How am I supposed to tell them what was going on with me?

I skimmed the room for any clues when I suddenly came across my sketchbook on the bay window seat. Yes! I ran over to my sketchbook and reached into my bag that I forgot to put away and grabbed my pencil. Then a thought hit me. How am I supposed to have them see this is they're all focused on my body? I looked around till my gaze landed on Edward. Perfect. I ran over to my body and placed my hand on my wrist(wow that sounded weird) and started to transfer my thoughts to Edward.

Edward!, don't freak but I need you to count to ten then look over at my window seat at my sketchbook. Don't question it, just do it. And COUNT!

As he started counting I ran over to my sketchbook and wrote the one thing that he would know it was me. Seth looks like a giant dog with fur but I think he's FLUFFY!

Edward looked over at my sketchbook and gasped. "Lily?"

Yep, I wrote.

"Lily? Edward, what are you talking about?" Jasper asked.

He pointed to my sketchbook. Everyone looked over to where Edward was pointing and I wrote, Hi Everyone! In big letters so they can see.

Of course, everyone gasped at this.

"Lily, is that really you?" Esme asked.

Yes it is. Now I need you to listen to me. Well not really listen but read what I'm saying...aw, you guys know what I mean.

"Yep, that's Lily alright." Emmett laughed loudly.

"We're listening Lily, well, not listening, but reading..just keep writing." Nessie giggled at how funny she sounded.

Thanks Nessie. Now in all seriousness, I need you guys to calm down. I'm fine, just in a sticky situation at the moment.

"How sticky?" Rosalie asked.

Let's just say, if I don't figure out how to get to mine and Seth's clearing, I'll be here awhile.

"wow, that is sticky. But why yours and Seth's clearing?" Alice questioned.

I don't know, but I do know whatever I need to do to get out of here is at that clearing.

"Okay, but how are we going to take you there if none of us knows were it is?"

That's my problem, but uh, Jake, do you mind and telling me were Seth is at the moment?

"Out on patrol, why?"

Cause, I might have an idea. Now you've had him on a busy patrol schedule, right?

"Yes."

Then he's there.

"What are you talking about?"

I'll explain when I wake up but for now, I gotta go. See you tonight! Alice any specifics here?
"Tonight, at nine thirty" She said proudly. Yes! This is going to work.

Alright, see you guys tonight! I put down pencil and took a deep breath. I channeled into Seth's thoughts and as I thought, he was asleep at the clearing and with a leg injury. I'll freak out later about that but now gotta go to that clearing.

I closed my eyes as I focused on all the finer details of the clearing, the color, the smell, the warmth. Suddenly I could smell the fresh grass and my favorite smell of all time, woodsy with a hint of cinnamon. I opened my eyes and saw Seth there laying on the ground in his wolf form sleeping soundly.

Watching him made me think about whether or not I should tell him about the evil vampires from the other night. I mean, vampires are like they're mortal enemies. Now I have to turn into one. I don't know how he's going to react to me telling him I'm supposed to turn into a blood-sucking creature in two years. Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I turn eighteen in two years cause this year I'm turning sixteen but I'll let them believe whatever. Still, how am I going to tell him. I don't want him to hate me and abandon me like everyone everyone else has in the world. How would it work with us going to be enemies and all, would it not matter? Or would we forever hate each other?

But I have to tell him. As much as I hate to break it to him like this, I have to tell him. I mean, this effects both of us, not just me, or him, but both of us. When I'm going to tell him, well, that's a different story.

Seth started to stir and that's when I realized that night had already fallen. I ran over to Seth's back leg and placed my hand on the wound. My hand glowed a bright blue as his leg started to heal. Finally the leg was healed and I was struck by the always welcoming darkness.

"Lily!" I heard a pixie shout as I opened my eyes to see my family beaming down at me.

I smiled at all my family but my gaze landed on Edward's as he looked at me with understanding. "I have to tell him don't I?"

He walked over to my bed, sat down and wrapped his arm around my shoulders in comfort. "I'm afraid so Lily, I'm afraid so."

Here it is! and it's semi-on time! but i did it!

Alright, so this chapter, i have to say, i'm not proud. i honestly think i was rambling to much but i couldn't really do anything about it because i was dog sitting mine and my brother's dog. My dog, Cindie, is being the spoiled dog she is, while my brother's puppy, Ash, is being as cute as can be. but moving on...

Hope you enjoyed, and don't forget to review.

OH! i want to try something. it's called a puppy question(totally made that name up) now, it's either a question or a 'guess who said the quote?' type thing. so...

today's puppy question is...

Do you have a pet, if so, what is the cutest thing they've done?
Alright, till next time!
