I was on the staircase, but with my vampire hearing I could still hear Aro's fake warm hello to the Cullens.
" Carlisle, nice to see you again." Aro says.
His wife speaks up." We were wondering what happened, Alice's visions were getting very blurry, and the last 6 months they have disappeared completely. We were wondering what was going on." My guess was they were more hopeful that we had all gotten killed, than them being concerned about us.
"Father?" Alex says.
Bella's POV
A girl about my apparent age, with ink black spiky hair, almost an exact replica of Alice, only she had brown eyes instead of gold, and she had a more punk fashion sense than her.
"Father?" she asked. Oh, that explains it. Aro and his experiments.
"Yes Alex?"Aro says. "I'm really busy right now." The child grabs his hand.
He introduces us as the Cullens. Her eyes flood with recognition, then she sniffs the air. She walks straight to Renesmee
"You're Renesmee aren't you? I'm Alex; I'm half- vampire like you. I'm only a year younger than you, want to be friends? Ness nods. The girl leads her somewhere; Edward told me they were going to the girl's quarters.
Emmett says "who doesn't have half-humans here"?
"Afton and Alec, and I don't know if they count, but all the women." A tall girl of about 11 walks in. From the scent she was a half- breed.
Felix says "Brie," he sounds like a adoring father. So Brie was his kid. She has brown hair and electric blue eyes.
Aro says "I'm going to call the guard down from their rooms. Asphodel?" he said, turning to a teenager with black shoulder- length curls, almost- black eyes, and ivory skin. She was pretty, only she looked too much like a ghost surrounded by shadows. "You know what to do,"
Only a second later, the entire guard is down… except for Alec. There are a lot of half- vampires also. Jane is sent to retrieve her brother, who we hear screaming only seconds later. When he comes down his hands hold his sisters limp body, mist surrounding her. Felix says something like sibling rivalry is for humans and everyone laughs. Jane has regained her senses and is standing next to her brother like nothing happened.
We just stand there awkwardly, when Aro gives us the name of every half-vampire there. Maybe it's the tension between the families.
Alex and Nessie come back then, something about meeting her sisters. Asphodel apparently, is one. Jesika, Sabrina, and Ava are also her siblings.
They must have shown her some kind of what Renesmee calls "pretty pictures" because she giggles and says "you all have powers like me!"
There's a small knock on the door that I guess leads to where ever the rooms are here and Alec and Jane look scared. Scared. I don't think I've ever seen them scared.
Edward growls "you can't keep secrets from a mind reader Alec. Aro, I thought you said Alec had no half- vampire children." So the person on the other side of the door was Alec's child. Explains how he and Jane are staring at the door.
"You said half- human. She is not. She's not human whatsoever. You smell her, Edward, don't you? She doesn't smell half- vampire." Aro says.
"I still don't believe this Greek God thing you're thinking, aren't those myths?" Edward says.
Jane laughs. It's a sinister laugh, mixed it with her angelic voice. "We are myths, are we not?" she says.
The door opens. A little girl with chestnut hair the color of her father's, ivory skin and intelligent gray eyes steps out. She walks to where Alec and Jane are. Alec puts a hand on her shoulder. I noticed just how alike her father and aunt were to her. Or maybe it was the fact all three of them had sadistic smirks displayed.
"Father, why is everyone down here, I woke up, and everyone was gone." Her father shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Jane forced me to come down here." I saw how he was being only partially true.
We left then, while it was still dark.
