The Human Vampire

Chapter 6 – Hell on Earth

Bright and early on Monday morning, I woke up Camille, Cameron, Alexandra, Aaiden, Brandon, Sarah and Gabriel and got them into the kitchen. There were 7 plates of fruit and 7 glasses of milk waiting for them. The winced when they found out they were meant to eat the food in front of them.

I told them to hurry up and I went to get Lila, Eric and Aaron. They were all still asleep and I thought I would let them sleep until nine. The other three were wide-awake so I got them our of their cribs and ran down to the kitchen to get them their breakfast. When I got down in the kitchen, everyone was talking and most had finished their breakfast. I told them to go get their pencil cases and go down to the lodge where the classes would be taking place.

I went to the door when I heard the three cars pull up. At the door were Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle. The children would have 4 teachers. Edward, Esme, Carlisle and I. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie would help out with the other 6. They would take Eric, Aaron and Lila to kindergarten and take care of the three youngest during the class times. I told them to go to the lodge and I would go get the children. I got the triplets out of bed and into the lodge and got the two year olds out of the bathroom. I don't even want to know what they were doing in there.

We were all down in the lodge in a matter of seconds. I ran with the two-year-olds in my arms them squealing in pleasure. I sat them down on their aunts, uncles and grandparents' laps and sat down next to Gabe and pulled him on my lap. He laid his head on my shoulder and I stroked his bronze-brown hair. He was not used to getting up this early.

'I will be taking Millie and Alex; Bella, you will be taking Brandon and Cam; Carlisle, you take Sarah and Aaiden; Esme, you take Gabe.' Said Edward. He handed us the packs with the week's lessons in them and he continued. 'Emmett and Rosalie, today you will be taking the triplets to school; Alice and Jasper, you get the wonderful job of taking care of the two year olds for the week. Emmett, at the end of the week, you have to take the kids work to the schools and get the next week's work. Is everyone clear?' he asked.

We all nodded and I took Brandon and Cam into our classroom and handed Gabe to Esme. I kissed my children's foreheads and as I left, I saw everyone scatter not necessarily happy. All I could do is hope that this plan would work and that I could enrol my children in normal schools soon enough.

Because Brandon had infinite smartness, he could take the same classes as Cam even though he would be smarter. I told them which exercises they would be doing.

They had two classes before break. When I dismissed them, they ran out of the room and went to tell their siblings what they had to endure. I sat on one of the far couches listening in on their conversations.

'That was HELL. I thought I was going to die of boredom!' Alex.

'She is such a bad teacher and I didn't understand a thing.' Cam.

'Don't worry, I'll explain later. I have to admit, I didn't understand much either… and I'm the smart one.' Brandon.

'I'm really tired now. I want to go back to sleep.' Gabe.

'I really tried to stay awake but I just had to doze off ten minutes into the lesson.' Aaiden.

'I want to go and see my children. Where do think they are?' Camille.

'Knowing Alice, at the mall.' Sarah. I had to laugh at how true that statement was.

Those two comments from Brandon and Cam really hurt. I tried my best to be kind and make my lessons clear and they didn't understand a thing.

I saw Nessie waddling my way and scooped her up in my arms.

'How was your morning with Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper, Princess?' I asked her. Being the smart child she was she knew exactly what I was saying.

'Pwayed pwincess wit Isa and Uncuwe Jaspew. Uncuwe Jaspew be pwincess Jaspawella!!' she squealed. I laughed glad at least she was having fun.

I saw that Camille had found Elisa and Eytan and Charlie had come over to play with his children. I was glad. We had decided that he could take care of them while Millie was in class, which was only half day.

The adults were coming my way and I waved at them. They sat down and they all looked exhausted. That was quite something for vampires.

'How did that go?' I asked them.

'Aaiden fell asleep and Sarah couldn't stay on focus and she would just start drawing on her sheets.' Replied Carlisle looking exasperated.

'I think Gabe should start classes after break because he looked really tired.' This was Esme always siding with the children although I had to agree with her.

'Alex I could tell really didn't care at all and she just blanked. Camille was distracted but she tried, I could tell.' Edward said.

'Well, neither Cam nor Brandon understood anything I said. Brandon didn't understand!!' I said appalled.

'They were probably not listening. You explain things very well.' My husband said to reassure me. 'Do you remember when you tried to explain how children grew within you? I understood right away.'

'Thank you.' I said. 'I think that Gabe is going to have to do half days. He's exhausted.'

'Yeah. I think from tomorrow we should start him after break.' He replied. With that, we reassembled the children and told them they were going to have 'vampire training' with Emmett and Rosalie. This was instead of PE. In this class, they would learn how to act in public without exposing vampires. It also gave us –the teachers- some free time. It gave me time with Renesmee and Edward and Alice. Alice and Jasper are considering adoption and I have to try and talk her into it.

I took Nessie up to mine and Edward's room and I lay down on the bed with her flat on my chest. I looked down at her and saw she was on the verge of sleep. I kissed her small head and put her hand on my cheek and let her sleep. I then started seeing her dreams. A few seconds later, Edward walked in and I waved him over. He kissed me and I pulled him next to me. I lay my head on his rock hard chest and he put his arm around my shoulders. I let my mind wonder back to the day she was born.

Flashback

We were all in the 'hospital' room in the basement of the house. All of us except Rosalie, Emmett and Cameron. Camille was off somewhere with Charlie she was due to have her twins any day now and from what I've heard, she has no intention of keeping them. I just hope she can realize that she can't put up twin vampire/werewolf up for adoption. I was pretty sure that Charlie knew that though.

I had just given birth to my last child. I didn't want another before at least a century. She was a girl and we had decided to call her after our parents: Renee, Esme, Charlie and Carlisle. She was called Renesmee Carlie. She was beautiful with my old eyes and Edward's hair.

I could only regret that Cam, Rose and Emmett couldn't be there to see her.

I remember when I would stare at her for hours on end and never get bored. When she sleeps, I put her hand to my face and saw her dreams. It was now one of my favourite pastimes. They were always so peaceful and I felt like I could escape with her whenever I wanted.

We lay there until Nessie woke up and started whimpering. She put her hand to my face and showed me herself drinking a bottle of milk. I carried her and took Edward's hand and we ran down to the kitchen. All of my children seemed to love it when one of us full vampires did that. I got her food and gave her her bottle before taking her to the back yard where I knew the rest of the children would be. I saw that Emmett was running after Sarah and she was screaming her lungs off. I knew anyone within hearing distance would soon be deaf.

'EMMETT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER?' I screamed at my 'big brother'.

'She is IMPOSSIBLE, Bella.' He replied angrily even though I knew he was joking.

'SARAH HAVA MASEN CULLEN!' I screamed trying to hide the smile on my face. 'What did you do this time?'

'He was thinking disturbing things so I told his mind to shut up and it didn't take it so well. It just that there's so little!!' she yelled back.

I had to choke back a laugh and went down the stairs after putting down Nessie in her father's arms. I ran after her and caught her in no time.

'Sarah,' I exclaimed, 'you cannot say things like that to your uncle. He may have a small brain that contains less than a snail's brain contains but you have to owe him some respect. Now, apologize to your uncle's brain and come to help me in the kitchen for lunch.'

'I'm sorry uncle Emmett's brain.' She said mockingly as she followed me into the kitchen.

We made vegetarian lasagna and peas. I added bread and tomatoes to the table and I knew that once the kids were dismissed, they would come running to the table. I was right of course and I soon left the 'men' to deal with the children wile Alice, Rosalie, Camille, Esme and I went to the porch. Elisa and Eytan were at Charlie's for the night.

'So Alice,' I started, 'how's the adoption going?'

'I'm not sure Jasper wants a kid…' she said seeming sad, 'whenever I start on the subject, he just talks about hunting or something like that.'

All of us knew why he did this and we knew it was not because he didn't want a child. He must have been paying a lot of attention to not making a decision yet.

'I'm sure that he's not doing that on purpose, Alice. He must not even be noticing he's doing it.' Soothed Millie.

I apparently decided I would go shopping with Camille and Rosalie that weekend because Alice gasped.

'You're pregnant again?!?!?!?' she said looking straight at me.

'Um… no.' I answered unsure of what we were talking about.

'Then why did I just see you buying baby clothes this weekend?'

'I don't know.' I was very confused. I looked at Rosalie and she told me to change the subject. 'How did the V.T. (Vampire Training) go? I wasn't there half of the time.'

'It was all right. Noting major.' Answered Rosalie.

When we got back inside, the children were finishing off and the guys were getting to the back yard. I went up to Edward who was holding both Nessie and Lila. I kissed both of their cheeks and hissed Edward on the lips. When we pulled away, he handed me Lila and I took her to the garden. Once we got there, she squirmed out of my grasp and ran towards her brothers. I sat on Edward's lap and kissed him passionately again. He pulled me closer until we heard a few high-pitched giggles. I turned around and found Nessie, Lila and Emmett giggling. He was such a child sometimes.

I kissed Edward again and they ran away laughing. I pulled away and smiled. I then looked around and saw everyone having fun during break.

'How long do you think we will have to keep the at home?' I asked.

'I think within a month, they'll all be enrolled in schools again.' He replied confident. 'I'm pretty sure we could do less time if we really tried.'

I leaned back into his chest reassured and smiled at my family edging back into perfection.

Read –oh wait… you've already done that- Review then!

Only about 2 or 3 chapters left. And I wont be making a sequel… unless I think about something that might work.
