(A/N. Sorry the last chapter was confusing. I was tired, or something... Hopefully this is clearer. Thank you, Avatarlover1, for your advice on the story. This chapter is also in Edward's POV.)
3. Help Wanted
"I may know why you're here, but my family would appreciate being filled in," I said.
"Okay, my tribe lives near a river that flows through the mountains located north of us. About a month back, we were fishing in the lake, when a water nymph appeared and claimed that the river belonged to her people. The river is our main source of fresh water, so we argued with the water nymphs. But now there is a war going on, and unfortunately, we are losing. I was hoping that since you have been spoken to have peaceful habits, you could help us settle the dispute," Serena told us.
"So, let me get this straight. You shape-shifters are losing to water nymphs?" Emmett asked, obviously not believing what he was hearing. "Aren't they... tiny?"
"Yes, but we refuse to fight them physically. It is not our way."
"Plus, if they were to fight them, they would lose. Water nymphs are tiny, so it's 1. hard to see them, and 2. hard to grab, at least for non-vampires," Alice added.
"Well, let's go grab them," Emmett responded.
"What do you see, Alice?" Carlisle asked.
"Should be peaceful enough. They will disagree, but they won't want to mess with vampires."
"Then, let's go," Emmett said, eagerly wanting to know what a water nymph looked like.
"Problem. Only Edward can go. My tribe can't handle having seven vampires present. Besides, it's not that big of a deal," Serena said. Emmett's face dropped.
"I'll take a picture for you," I said. His spirits were lifted a tiny bit. Thanks, he thought.
