After a day of unsuccessful results Strom grew anxious and worried. She paced back and forth across the room trying to think of something while Aden continued to watch earthquake tracking.
"Where do you think he would go, Aden?" Storm asked. Aden sighed looking up from the lap top. He pinched his temples as he thought then an idea popped into his head.
"Forks!" He exclaimed, and Storm jumped a bit at his out burst.
"Forks? How would…."
"He must have heard us talking the other night." Storm thought this over. That would be the only reason that made sense. "Even if he's not there I can talk to Izzy and Edward, and have them help us find him." Storm jumped on Aden and hugged him tight.
"They are not going to be happy with us." Storm told Aden who nodded in agreement.
"No, but they'll get over it." He told her. "We can leave tonight if…."
"Aden, I would love to go, but you know as well as I; I can't leave." Aden sighed he had forgotten that detail.
"Maybe, we can…."
"Aden, you go, and if I can leave I will, but right now in the mist of battle they aren't going to let me." Aden began to rack his brain to find away around this dilemma, but found none. Storm wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled her head against his shoulder.
"I don't want to leave you though." He told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Storm looked up at him, and softly kissed his lips.
"I'll be fine. Just, please go and find him." He kissed her forehead and nodded.
"Ok, I'll go." She smiled and they kissed one last time before Aden left to go to Forks.
Things with the Cullens are never normal, but with Emidio around it stretched life to unbelievable proportions.
"Aunt Izzy!" The child cried racing further into the woods. He was playing tag and taunting his Aunt. Izzy was running after him, but could honestly admit she was having trouble finding him once he hid.
"Emidio….." She called. "Come out; Come out where ever you are." She heard a faint giggle. Emidio ducked into a bush and was slowly backing up as he hid. He loved this game, he had played it many time with his parents. The thought of his parents made the boy feel a bit home sick, and though Forks got plenty of rain he missed the booming thunder that his mother caused. Emidio remembered that in the summer she would sometimes make the lighting in shapes for him.
"You'll never find me!" He taunted running deeper into the brush. He went so far that he could no longer see his Aunt Izzy.
"Emidio!?" He heard her yell, but her voice was far off in the distance. He hadn't realized how far he ran. Emidio walked forward trying to follow the sound of her voice, but could no longer tell which direction it came from.
"Aunt…." Emidio's scream was cut off by a hand over his mouth. He found himself being lifted in the air by someone. He kicked and wiggled, but to no avail.
"Hello, Brat." The voice sneered, and Emidio began to panic when he realized it wasn't his family.
"What do you know? He wasn't as hard to catch as Boss said he was." Another laughed and walked in front of him. Their eyes were a piercing red illuminating against their pale skin. Grandfather Aro had red eyes, but his were softer and less terrifying to the boy. The woman vampire came forward and put a hand on the boys cheek as he struggled.
"Aw, don't worry dear we aren't going to eat you…..yet!" She squealed in a high pitched laugh. Tears began to run down Emidio's face. He wanted nothing more then to go back home.
Izzy was searching high and low for Emidio. The rest of the family had gone to hunt, and she was suppose to watch him, but when she agreed to hide and go seek she never thought he'd be this good.
"Ok, Emidio. Ollie Ollie Oxenfree!" There was no response. "Emidio!" She yelled again. "This isn't funny!" She began to panic. She had lost the child! Storm was going to kill her if her family didn't get to it first.
"Come on Bella think!" She mumbled to herself. "He is six years old he shouldn't…"
"Aunt…" She heard the muffled cry. Quickly she raced in that direction, and in moments she was upon two vampires holding a struggling Emidio.
"Put him down!" She cried angrily stepping closer. The vampires heads sprang towards her, and the woman let out another laugh.
"What are you going to do?" She took another step towards Izzy. "We have the child." She taunted, and Izzy became enraged as her and the woman began to circle.
"When we're done with him there is going to be nothing left, but a limp lifeless….." Izzy sprang with out another thought. The vampire was thrown off her feet and landed a couple yards away. Emidio began to struggle fiercely in the male vampire's arms, and when he couldn't get lose a massive earthquake broke out. The stillness of the woods was shattered as the ground began to tremble knocking the vampires and Izzy off their feet. Emidio fell to the ground and sat there as the earth continued to rage beneath him. He was so afraid that the earthquake kept getting worse.
"Emid!" Izzy screamed over the sound. "It's alright..It's…" A loud crack sounded over the rumbling as a tree snapped and fell inches away from Izzy. Emidio's sobs began to quicken as he lost control. There was nothing Izzy could do; she couldn't get to her feet to reach the boy, and her voice was drowned out by the sound of splintering wood.
A silhouetted figure walked closer to the center of the commotion. They didn't wobble or shake as they walked. It was as if the ground was still and everything was at peace. Emidio was clutching his ears and had his head in his knees trying to drown out what was happening. He wanted the vampires to leave, but like Izzy they were immobile by the trembling earth.
The figure got closer, and Izzy tried again to regain her footing, but again she fell back to the ground. She held her breath as the figure now towered over Emidio. His shadow casting the small boy in the dark.
"Emidio." It whispered kneeling next to the boy. Emidio looked up his eyes widen. Then just as quickly as it started everything stopped. The man reached out and put a hand on Emidio shoulder.
"Daddy!" He screamed jumping into his arms. Aden hugged him close as his hood fell from his head. For that moment the world stopped moving completely.
