A/N: I have returned with another chapter. Ok so the Baseball sequence is in this one and I hope that all of you like the story so far. ON WITH THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 6: Baseball and Enemies.
As the speakers in Rin's car blared; all of the adults took to the field and Draco walked up to the plate as first to bat. Carlisle was pitching; he looked to all of his teammates and nodded; rearing his hand back, he released the ball. It flew toward the plate and Draco took a crack at it, sending it flying.
Jasper smirked and Emmett cheered as Lucius ran into the trees to recover the ball; Draco walked around the field and jumped into the home plate. Jasper was next up to bat. He cracked the ball and made it to second.
'Rin, you're up!' Alice called.
Rin stepped up to the plate and Carlisle pitched; a sound in the distance caught Rin's attention and her focus shifted. Alice's eyes were glazed over and she saw three figures walking toward their location.
'Stop!' she yelled, everyone in the clearing froze.
------------------------------
Two men and a woman walked through the fog that littered the mountain; their graceful pace and style looked as though their feet weren't even touching the ground.
The woman smiled insanely and the two men smirked as they neared a clearing.
-----------------------------
Severus and Carlisle called everyone together and told them to stay that way.
'Daddy, what's going on?' Rin asked as she picked Evee up and held her tightly.
'There have been some attacks in the last few days; the humans believe that it is an animal causing them but it isn't. It's a group of Vampires.' Carlisle explained; slightly easing their curiosity.
All twenty one of them stood flanking each other; all of the younger males glared at the tree line.
As Alice saw it; three Vampires walked through the fog and into the clearing, both parties met in the middle of the field.
'We did not know that there was so many of you.' One of the men said, his hair was cascading dreadlocks and his eyes were the richest of crimson; Severus noticed this, as did Lucius.
'Well, now you do.' Draco snapped, his hold tightening on Harry and Jet.
'I am Laurent; this is Victoria;' he gestured to the woman, 'and James.' Lilly tensed and Severus held her tighter.
All three looked at her curiously; she smiled and apologized.
'I'm sorry, my last husband's name was James; it wasn't a good marriage, the only thing good that came from that union was my two children.'
The Vampire in the middle nodded and turned back to Carlisle.
'My name is Carlisle; these are my Family and Friends, Severus and Lilly, Lucius, Narcissa and Sirius, Grace and Mary, Esme, Alice and Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper, Edward and Rin, Phoenix, Demitrios, Evee and Jet.' He named them in groups so that attention wasn't drawn.
Rin looked at James and her eyes widened, he smirked in turn. Edward noticed the Vampire staring at his mate and tightened his grip on her.
'Could you use three more players?' Laurent asked; Carlisle looked to everyone and looked back at the dark skinned Vampire.
'Sure; you can join our team so that everyone is on one.' He stated.
'Rin; change the CD; we need some more music.' Mary said, getting the girl to snap her attention towards her car.
Walking over with Edward and Evee; she changed the CD to a random mix and Show me the Money began to blare through the Lamborghini's speakers.
'Rin, are you ok?' Edward asked, stroking her back as she hugged him. They let Evee run and play with the other small children.
'That James, I don't know how but I feel like I've met him before.' She whispered; Edward nodded and nuzzled her neck.
'Hey, Rin! It's still your bat.' Draco called; she nodded and stepped up to bat.
Victoria had volunteered to be the pitcher, she reared her hand back and let the ball go; Rin took a step toward the ball and swung, sending it flying. Severus ran after the ball as Rin ran around the bases; by the time he came back with the ball and through it toward Carlisle at second, Rin was doing a little jig as she neared the home plate. She looked to her left and jumped the gun; sliding into the plate, safe.
'She is very talented; we will need to keep her in check.' Victoria whispered as she received the ball from Esme, whom was catching.
--------------------------------
Rin walked over to Edward and stood in front of him, allowing him to wrap his arms around her waist and lean his chin on her shoulder. He could feel that she was confused and tense, he couldn't work out why.
'Rin, what's wrong?' he asked, kissing the skin over her jugular vein.
'I still feel as though I have met him before; his eyes scream recognition but I can't place where.' She replied in a wistful tone. She stood from Edward's hold and walked toward her car.
A strong wind blew past them and carried her scent toward the field; James smelt it and turned toward Rin. He began stalking toward her; Edward noticed the pace and charged toward his mate.
'You brought humans, how very thoughtful.' James hissed as Edward came into view.
Edward crouched in front of Rin and snarled at the opposing Vampire, causing the others to snap their attention to the scene.
Severus ran and flanked Edward, the Cullen's, the Malfoy's and Victoria and Laurent ran and flanked their respected sides.
'You're human?' Laurent asked from beside James.
Evee ran toward her mother but Lilly grabbed the small girl and held her close; shielding her eyes in case a fight started.
'I think it is best that you leave; we do not wish for a fight.' Carlisle stated, casting side-long glances at the ten other Vampires that cast a wall between the Fairy and the other Vampires.
Laurent nodded, tugging on James's jacket; they all left. The Vampires stood and Severus hugged his daughter close; Carlisle looked at him pointedly then to Edward.
'Take Rin and get her out of here, now!'
Edward nodded and wrapped an arm around her waist as he walked past, dragging her toward her Lamborghini; he opened the passenger door and sat her in the car. Evee struggled to get out of Lilly's arms; she was in tears and didn't want her parents to leave her.
Edward walked over to her and kissed her forehead; looking into her eyes he whispered.
'Don't cry Evee. I'm only taking her home, you'll see her again.' He stood to his full height and looked at Lilly.
'I'll look after her Edward, just protect my little girl.' She nodded.
Edward raced back to the car and jumped in, turning on the engine and racing down the trail.
'What the fuck just happened?' Rin cried as Edward raced down the mountain.
'I just put you, Harry, Mary, Grace, your mother and all of the children in jeopardy; James is a tracker, I read his mind. My reaction at the field set him off and made this his most exciting game ever. He won't stop until he kills you.' His voice rose and fell as he spoke, not taking his eyes off of the road.
'What do we do?' Rin was frantic, searching her mind for answers to her own questions.
The Lamborghini pulled onto the road and Edward slammed his foot on the accelerator. His eyes darkened and his left eye twitched slightly in anger.
'We have to kill him, tear him apart and burn the pieces. But before we do any of that, I have to get you out of here.'
Rin looked at him and shook her head.
'I'm not leaving without Evee, I lost one child; I can't bare to lose her.' She cried defiantly.
'No Rin; I'll take care of her, so will your mother; I won't lose you because of one of my mistakes.' He yelled, trying to reason with her.
They pulled up at the Victorian Manor and Rin ran inside and up to her room. She grabbed her school trunk and began packing, using her magic to help her. Walking over to Shade's tank, she pulled her slippery companion from it and draped him over her shoulders.
Lilly and Evee burst through the door followed by Edward; the little girl clung to her mother's leg and refused to relinquish her hold. Tears flowed from her clenched eyes as she begged her mother to not leave her.
'Edward, let me take her; I can go back to England and stay with Moony.' Rin reasoned.
Edward walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her; keeping in mind that she had a rather large snake on her shoulders, and kissed her forehead.
'Alright, keep each other safe and if anything happens. . 'Rin cut him off.
'Nothing will happen. Just promise me that you won't get hurt.' She pleaded, he nodded and they kissed; it was loving and passionate.
Rin shrank her trunk and placed it in her pocket, then pocketed the trunk that her mother had packed for Evee.
They walked briskly down the stairs and Edward jumped in front of them when Laurent walked into the hall with Carlisle and Severus.
'Edward, he's come to warn us.' Carlisle eased.
Edward stopped snarling and glared at the Vampire, he seemed to be unfazed.
'James has unparallel senses; absolutely lethal, and Victoria, don't underestimate her.' he cautioned before taking his leave.
Severus walked to Rin and encased her in his arms, kissing the top of her head. Rin hugged the man that she came to call her father and held back the tears.
Letting her go, Severus led everyone into the lounge room and grabbed the floo powder; he fire called Remus to notify him of Rin's arrival.
'Severus, what is the matter?' the aged werewolf asked.
'Rin is in danger and she is coming to stay with you, please Remus; none of us can bare to lose her.' the Vampire pleaded, Remus nodded and stood back from the flames.
Rin bid everyone farewell and hugged Evee close to her; they both stepped into the flames as Rin called out the destination.
'Remus Lupin's Office!'
All of the Cullen's stood shocked and one stood in sorrow. Edward bowed his head and berated himself for letting this happen.
--------------------------------
Remus stood back from the flames and waited, not two minutes later, his god daughter came out of the fireplace and a small girl accompanied her.
'Rin, what has happened?' he asked, hugging her close.
'Oh, Moony! I'm sorry to drag you into this but a tracker is chasing me. He won't stop until I am dead.' She replied, half way into hysterics.
He shushed her and dragged her over to his sofa; sitting her down and calming her. He conjured some pillows and blankets and let Rin lay down. Shade, woke upon feeling the aura of the familiar werewolf and slithered around his mistress in a comforting gesture.
Evee began to cry silently as her mother began to shake in fear; Remus pulled the girl close to him and called for his daughter.
'Phoebe! Can you take, Evee was it?' the girl nodded,' Evee, and play for a while?' the younger werewolf nodded and grabbed the other girls hand.
-----------------------------------------------------
Edward and his family ran back to their residence so that they could prepare for the hunt; they protected their family and Rin was now a part of it.
'Edward, everything is going to be fine. She is safe with her god father. I have seen that she will remain safe.' Alice said, attempting to comfort for brother. Edward looked pleadingly at his sister and nodded.
'I don't see why all of us have to hunt for this tracker, it's not our problem.' Rosalie spat.
Edward glared at the blond Vampire; softly snarling at her. Carlisle placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and turned to Rosalie.
'Rosalie, you and I both know that Rin is now a part of this family; and I know that you see her as a friend if not more. Don't try and hide that fact because she isn't one of us, she's as close to a Vampire as she can get without being bitten thanks to her creature blood.' Carlisle calmly stated.
Rosalie crossed her arms over her chest and bowed her head; yes she did think of Rin as more than a friend, she thought of the little Fairy as a younger sister, though she would never admit it out loud.
Jasper used his Empathy to clam the tension in the room, because you could cut it with a knife and choke on it. Alice smiled at her mate and held his hand. Emmett wrapped his arms around Rosalie and Esme hugged Carlisle.
'How are we going to do this? Not only Rin is in danger, half of her family also smell like mortals.' Jasper asked; worried about the rest of the family that everyone there had grown attached to in some form or another.
'Mary, her mate is one of the Quileute Werewolves. She should be safe there, as should Grace and her mate. Both children won't part from their parents so that's five taken care of. Lilly won't leave Severus, nor will Harry leave Draco. Lilly is safe, Harry and Jet will be safe as well.' Edward stated.
'Well then, that's that taken care of. Let's find this fucker!' Emmett stated menacingly, he also thought of Rin as a little Sister.
-------------------------------------------
James ran through the forest, dodging trees and leaping over rocks; trying to find his prey's scent. It seemed that she either didn't go into the forest or she was careful about it. He snarled in frustration, nothing, he had been searching for hours and nothing had come up.
Victoria had gone to find out where she came from and were she lived. James knew that he couldn't trace the family back to their house, risking the game and his life with eleven Vampires. Snarling again, he rifled around his memories to figure out what he was missing.
James and Laurent were about to make a kill when a loud pop resounded from behind them. They turned and a jet of red light hit Laurent square in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
James snarled at the person that had attacked a member of his coven. His eyes were met with three teens and an old man.
'Calm yourself James; we only want to talk to you.' The old man said.
'What do you want?' James hissed; the old man smirked from the shadows.
'I want you to travel around this country until you find the most exotic scent that could ever belong to a mortal girl. Then I want you to do what you do best, my dear boy.' He replied, the teens that guarded him al grinned wickedly.
James nodded and within the blink of an eye, all four were gone.
James snapped from his memory when the familiar pop sounded from behind him.
'Have you started your hunt?' the old man asked.
'Yes but I can't trace her scent to anywhere other than the house. I am a tracker not an extremist, I'm not going to go to that house.' He seethed.
'Why?' the old man was grating on James's nerves.
'In two words; eleven Vampires.'
The old man growled and turned from the Vampire; pinching the bridge between his eyes, he thought of any possibilities to keep this Vampire and have him continue the hunt.
'I'll return to you in three days. Try and get as much information as you can.' The old man disappeared and left the tracker to continue his game.
---------------------------------
Mary, Grace and Sirius all got their children into the Red Volvo and the jumped in them selves; they had a long shot but hopefully, Jacob could help them.
Mary turned on the engine and roared down the driveway; turning toward the reserve, she prayed for her friend's safety.
Demitrios sat beside his mother with his arms crossed over his chest; he was worried. None of the children knew of what was happening and they didn't like it; he turned and looked at Phoenix, she was huddled in between her parents and she also had a worried expression on her face.
Mary drove into the front yard of the house that she felt her mate in and she stopped the engine. She turned to look at her companions and stepped out of the car; walking up to the door, she was met with a shirtless Jacob Black. He saw that she was shaken and worried and hugged her close.
'Mary, what's wrong?' he asked, brushing the bangs from her face.
'A tracker is chasing Rin. We needed to get away from the mansion. Please Jake, help us.' She pleaded. Jacob nodded and ran after his mate, following her to the car.
'How many of there are you?' he asked, Mary held up five fingers over her shoulder and he nodded.
Sirius and Grace got out and Grace held Phoenix close; Mary pulled Demitrios out of the passenger side and walked back toward the Black residence. Jacob's eyes widened when he saw the boy in his mates arms, she looked at him and smiled; he smiled back and hoped that she would look as beautiful with their children in her arms.
All six walked intro the house and into the living room. Jacob led Sirius and Grace into a guest room.
'Will this do?' he asked, Grace nodded and thanked him. He walked out into the living room and sat next to his mate on the couch.
'Mary, tell me what is happening. Why have all of you split up?'
Mary looked Jacob in the eye and explained.
'We were playing Baseball with the Cullen's when three Vampires came onto the scene. One of them is a tracker and he is now currently hunting someone that I think of as a little sister. Rin took Evee and fled for England before we came here.'
Jacob nodded and the cogs turned in his head for a few minutes. A confused expression flittered across his face and his brow furrowed.
'So who is Evee, and who are the little ones with you?' He asked.
'We adopted a child each; well sort of. A teacher from our old school came to us and brought four children with her; Rin adopted one, Grace and I adopted one each and Harry and Draco adopted one. And because of our heritage, the adoption is by blood.' Mary explained, holding Demitrios in her lap.
'The little girl with Grace and Sirius is Phoenix, and this is Demitrios.' She said after a few minutes.
Jacob smiled at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and hugged her into his side. He laid his head on the top of hers and closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of his mate by his side. He felt a small finger poking his forehead. Opening his eyes he looked at the little boy on Mary's lap.
'Who are you?' he asked, narrowing his eyes.
'I'm Jacob, and you must be Demitrios, nice to meet you.' He smiled, the little boy only glared at him.
'Demitrios, this is my mate, like Uncle Draco is Uncle Harry's mate.' Mary whispered, Demitrios's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and he leapt for the older male, hugging him tightly.
Jacob laughed and hugged the boy back and Mary nearly cried; her mate and her son were so cute like that.
'I hope Rin is alright.' She said, Jacob and Demitrios hugged her and they all began to doze off on the couch, huddled together.
-------------------------------------------
'I don't get it, that guy felt so familiar but I just can't place him.' Harry said as he paced the bedroom; Draco was laid out on the bed beside a sleeping Jet.
'Maybe he only seems familiar because he's a hostile Vampire; remember the incident within and the Linkin Park concert?' Harry continued to pace and only stopped when Draco began snarling.
'That's it! He's the one that got away! The Vampire that scared Rin is currently hunting her!' Draco seethed, shooting out of bed and out of the room.
Harry ran after him and they both walked into the dinning room were the rest of the family were discussing the issue at hand. They all turned toward them.
'Was it only us that felt as though we recognised James?' Draco said, trying to keep a lid on his anger; his sister was in danger.
Severus, Lucius and Narcissa stated that they all recognised him but couldn't place him anywhere; Edward walked into the room from the entrance hall.
'Rin said that he was familiar to her as well.' He stated, looking confusedly at the ground.
'There is a reason for that.' Harry said; all eyes turned on him in a mixed range of emotions.
'You remember the scars on her left side?' he asked turning toward Edward, he nodded and his brow furrowed further in confusion.
'What did Rin tell you about them?' Lilly asked, holding her chest; she never thought that her daughter would open up about them.
'That a Vampire kidnapped her during a concert and used his fingernails to tear her skin open while she screamed.' The confusion laced his voice as he looked at the older Fairy.
Harry bit his lip and Draco held him close; he took a deep breath and carded his fingers through his mane of messy hair and revealed the connection.
'We have reason to believe the James is the Vampire that did that to her; that he was the one that hurt her.'
Everyone looked between shocked and pissed; Edward snarled and clenched his jaw shut, flexing his fingers to control his anger.
He turned from the room and fled; he ran into the forest and took his fury out on any tree that was in his path. He let out a cry that was caught between a roar of rage and anguish and fell to his knees; one bloody tear fell down his cheek as he whispered to the winds.
'I'm so sorry for all of this Rin. I'm sorry that I couldn't stop this right there and then.'
--------------------------------
Remus readied himself for his mourning classes; his daughter, Phoebe was in her room with Evee and they were becoming the best of friends. Rin was asleep on the couch, her whimpers and almost inaudible cries tore at his heart; he thought of her as a daughter and Harry as a son, he was tortured to see either one like this.
'Phoebe; sweetheart. I'm off to my classes. I'll see you at lunchtime, ok?' he said, standing in the door way of her room.
The smaller werewolf jumped to her feet and hugged her father; Evee smiled sadly and looked down. When Remus left, Phoebe looked at Evee and confusion and worry spread over her face.
'Evee? Wat's wong? Why are you cwying? She asked.
'I miss my Daddy. A bad man wants to hurt my Mummy and he stayed back to stop him fwom finding her.' she cried, the other child nodded and hugged her new friend.
Rin woke to her daughters crying and she briskly approached the door; she saw Phoebe comforting her and she smiled.
'Sweetheart, it's ok. We're safe and I know you miss Daddy but he doesn't want to see either of us hurt.' She soothed as she knelt beside both girls.
Evee nodded and stood up so she could hug her mother. The little girl cried into Rin's chest as she hugged her; Rin pulled her into her lap as she sat down, rocking her back and forth slowly as she began to sing.
'Oh, stop your crying; it will be alright. Just take my hand, hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you; I will be here, don't you cry.
'For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you; keep you safe and warm. There's a bond between us that can't be broken; I'll be here, don't you cry.' Evee's crying slowed to sniffles as the song flowed over her like a security blanket.
Rin smiled and kissed the top of Evee's head, continuing to rock back and forth and Phoebe heard a knocking at the portrait door. She walked over to it and asked who it was.
'Phoebe, it's Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall; can you let us in?' the Scottish teacher called from the corridor, the girl opened the door and let them in.
They looked for Rin and found her in Phoebe's room; they asked if she was alright and the Fairy explained her problem. All three teachers were horrified and silently agreed to help the girl in any way that they could.
'My dear girl, how did you manage to escape a tracker?' Professor Sprout asked.
'I found my soul mate, the one that held me the night that you cam Professor,' she said, looking at Minerva,' and his family, along with my own stood between the tracker and I. Edward took me away and I flooed here with Evee.'
All three teachers nodded in understanding; they all bid the girl a good day and left for their classes, all thinking that the girl was powerful and would be able to fight off this threat; and maybe, just maybe, she and her brother would restore the balance in the Wizarding world.
--------------------------------------
Carlisle and Emmett traced every inch of the forest around the small town but they couldn't find an inkling of a trail of the tracker.
'Carlisle, this is useless. Obviously he doesn't want to be found and he's just playing with this whole thing.' Emmett called as he ran after his 'father'.
The older Vampire turned on him and looked shocked.
'Emmett, I know that this seems pointless but he is here, I know it.' He said as Jasper ran toward them, panic written across his face.
'The others know him, they know the tracker!' Jasper said as he came to a halt in front of his father and brother.
'What do you mean, has Alice seen something?' Carlisle asked.
Jasper shook his head and turned to Emmett.
'Do you remember the scars on Rin's side; the ones that we saw that day in the Gym? James was the Vampire that put them there.' Emmett snarled and rage took over him as he made a dash toward the house, he needed to find Edward.
'Edward! How are we going to go about this fucker's death?!' Emmett shouted as he came through on of the windows and found said brother on one of the couches.
Edward sat there silently and unmoving; he had been like that since he had told Esme of what happened when he went to the Victorian manor. His eyes were unfocused and his jaw remained clenched. Emmett sat beside him and attempted to shake him from his trance, but to no avail.
A ringing resounded through the room and Edward jumped to his feet and pulled his phone from his pocket. The ID said unknown and he cautiously answered the call.
'Hello?'
'Edward! Thank god!' Rin's voice sang to him through the phone.
'Rin, what's wrong, has anything happened?' he was worried and Rin smiled.
'No, nothing is wrong. I just wanted to check up to see what was happening.' Edward let out a breath that he didn't even know he was holding.
'I'm sorry Rin, none of us can find him; he may have left the area or figured out where you were.' He said, bowing his head.
'It's ok Edward; I know you are all trying to find him; just as long as he doesn't come here. I don't think I can bare anymore people being endangered by this madman.' Her words were soft and somewhat comforting to him.
They bid each other good bye and hung up; Edward turned to Emmett and both Ran out to try and find the elusive James.
-------------------------------------------
Victoria and James tiptoed around the boundaries of Forks for the next two and a half days; finding all of the information they could on the girl. James knew who the girl was the second that her scent hit his nose that night on the field; he smiled manically at the memory of her screams as he carved his fingers one by one into her skin.
Both Vampires were about to leap into the Quileute reserve when the old man popped into existence before them.
'What have you found?' he asked, ignoring the hungry glare from Victoria.
'She has returned to England it seems, and is staying under the protection of a school and her Werewolf godfather.' The name left a bitter taste on his tongue.
The old man nodded, he reached into his pocket and pulled a piece of parchment out; he handed it to James and when he took it he explained it.
'It's a port-key; just say the word while touching the parchment and you will be in England. The word is nocturnal.' With that he was gone, both Vampires snarled and held the parchment.
'Nocturnal.' James whispered and they were both bombarded by a pull behind their navels and the scenery gave way to silver and grey.
Unconsciously, both let go and they slammed into the ground of the Forbidden Forest; they stood and looked through the tree cover and stared at the great castle. They saw students of various ages running rampant around the grounds and they decided to go for a small hunt and wait a few days before making a move.
--------------------------------------------
Severus and Lilly ran through the forest looking for James, they stopped at the Quileute border and both grew in rage. The Magical signature was as plane as the sky was blue and the scents of both Vampires were mixed in the air.
'we need to get everyone together; our nightmare has just become reality.' Severus stated to Lilly and both took off in different directions to retrieve all involved.
A/N: ok I know that this is really short, forgive me but I promise to compensate in the next chapter. I had to finish or one of my muses was going to hit me the next time she saw me. Any guesses as to who the old man is? If u guess right, I'll be really kind in the next chapter. All my love to all loving this story; Tsuzuki's-luva.
