Chapter 2
Edwards POV
We all crowded around the couch; all nine of us. None of us have ever seen such a thing before. A winged boy was on our couch. And me being a vampire in the town of Forks, Washington right next to an Indian reservation filled with shape-shifts, I thought I've seen it all! Carlisle shooed everyone back, giving him room to examine the child.
"Several burns…several broken bones including three ribs… He isn't looking good…" Carlisle sighed and stood up, "He only has a little time left." I focused clearly on the boy's mind; hearing flutters of thoughts swarm through it. There were disturbing images of labs and buildings, of scientists in white coats, of weird looking, flying wolf people. What did Sam and Jacob's pack grows wings all of a sudden?
There was also an image of…. five other children, all with large sets of wings growing out of their backs.
"There are more," I muttered, standing up and wrapping my arm around Bella, "There are five others somewhere here in Washington.
"What is he? What are they!" Emmett asked, a confused but stern expression on his face.
"They're avian-hybrids," I replied recalling the thoughts I had just collected from the boys mind, "They were experimented on by scientists when they were still infants, and they mixed their DNA with bird DNA."
"That explains why I can't see him in the future," Alice muttered, "I can't see anything that is half and half. Like Jacob and Nessie."
"What can we do to help him?" Esme asked with a worried expression. She wiped the boys jet-black hair away from his face. I could tell (and read in her head) that she had already had special feelings for him in the special mother-child way Esme had with people.
"He's going to die very soon…" Carlisle said slowly, "We either need to…turn him…. or let him die." The room was very quiet. Nessie was very quiet in Bella's arms, barely breathing. Did we need to deal with another newborn? Maybe he would be as self-controlled as Bella was when she was turned.
"Well why not!" Emmett boomed, "It's always good to have another little brother! Why let him die?" Rosalie rolled her eyes, and kissed Emmett on the cheek.
"I'm with Emmett," she replied, and Alice and Jasper nodded in agreement,
"It could help him get reunited with his fellow birds…" I brought up, "We'll just have to train him…" Bella nodded, adding her agreement to it.
"We don't know the effect the venom will have on him," Carlisle pointed out, "His avian DNA may react differently than our normal human DNA did when we were each turned."
"Well we'll have to see," Bella said after another long silence. We all nodded in agreement. Carlisle sighed,
"I'll do it then…" We all backed up defensively as Carlisle bent his head down to the boy's neck, his mouth opened. We heard the sound of puncturing skin as his teeth broke through, and the venom began to spread. The body lay there for a moment, and Carlisle jumped back, wiping his mouth. We stood in silence, watching the body just lie there, and then…
"AAAUGGHHH!!" The boys screams erupted through the house, the sound echoing off the walls as the venom spread through the boys body. I saw Bella cringe, remembering the awful feeling as if a fire erupted inside of you, spreading to every last nook and cranny of your body. The body began to flail, and Emmett and I dashed forward to hold him down, his arms and legs thrashing.
Soon, much to all of our surprise, the screaming, the thrashing, it all came to a halt. The boy's eyes burst open, and his breathing intensified.
"Fang…" I said clearly, slowly removing my arms from the boy's body, "We are your friends…" I blinked at the boy, his skin had already become as pale as ours, and his eyes had turned to pitch black, like looking into a bottomless pit. The black eyes flickered from my face, to Bella's, to Carlisle, and they finally came to a rest on Nessie, whose heart continued to beat…
Fang lunged straight at Bella with the child in her arms.
