PPOV
This was some funny shit. You got nine vampires chasing after a newborn less then a day old. You'd think we'd catch her in no time seeing as we had three of the best vampire fighters in existence, a psychic, and a mind reader doing the searching. That don't mean shit though when it comes to my baby girl vamp Bella.
Now don't get me wrong I like the Cullens ok, they're just not my kind of people. But Edward and Alice chap my ass and the feeling is mutual I think. Good thing Edward is busy searching for Bella's thoughts or he would hear mine which are laughing their asses off at him having to do shit like everybody else. He could use a good knock down a couple of pegs if you ask me. About a thousand.
Same goes for Alice. She's gotten so damn used to knowing who's gonna do what that she's lost her instincts. Once again this shit would have me in stitches except it would come in mighty handy for finding our little runaway. Either way I still loved Bella for rendering the know it all twins fucking useless as newborn kittens.
We had pretty much spread out through the woods searching for her since we couldn't really trace her scent. Come to think of it Bella's scent wasn't all that different from the wilderness around us. It was fresh and green with a hint of naturally grown flowers. Trust me when I say that those shitastic flowers in the supermarket do not smell as good as the wild shit.
We'd all been searching for probably four minutes when I heard a sob. I had only heard her voice a handful of times but I knew I'd found our renegade baby vampire. My hand snuck into my pocket and found my cell phone and I sent a text out to Char and Jasper. Let one of them tell the Cullens if they so choose.
I walked a bit more till I hit a small clearing near the stream. This was one of my favorite spots to do the dirty with wifey but it looked like a damn slaughter house at the moment. Bella lay in the stream frantically trying to wash the blood off of her, surrounded by a shit ton of drained animals. Guess she was thirsty.
She heard me approach and lifted her gleaming red eyes to mine. First she looked feral and threatening before it changed into agonozing guilt. "Why? Look what I did and it...the blood...it won't come off."
"It's ok sugar. You're a vampire now, just like doc Cullen told ya. We can explain it all to ya, but not if you run off on us again. Understand baby girl?" Fuck me sideways but that look in her eyes melted me down to goo. My heart filled with a love only a daddy can feel about a precious daughter.
Bella looked so disheveled but suddenly her face looked a helluva lot like Char's when she's pissed. Her eyes pierced the surrounding area and her lips curled into an impressive snarl. I heard the fucking calvary getting closer and knew she was scared. Quick but calm as I could I ran to her and held her hand, smiling like the hot shit I am because she let me. Take that Doc. Who's her daddy?
"Don't worry sugar, I ain't gonna let no one hurt you and none of these people would try." Yeah alright the little thing already had me wrapped around her granite pinky, but fuck me if I cared.
Because they aren't completely stupid everyone slowed down before they entered the clearing. All except Jasper and Edward took on submissive postures, which didn't work too well for Emmett since he's the size of a mountain. It kind of made him look drunk. Bella moved closer into my side and I received questioning looks from just about all of them except wifey. She looked at me with pride and my chest swelled with it. Woohoo, I'm gonna get me some paradise!
I unnecesarily cleared my throat. "Now that the little one got brunch out of the way, I'd like to introduce ya'll to Bella proper like."
She looked at me confused before a half smile twitched her lips and she waved at the crowd. "Hey. Sorry I ran off."
Carlisle stepped forward. "No need to apologise Bella. It is a natural reaction to fear and stress. Also the thirst is always overpowering when one first awakens to this life."
Wifey clapped her hands loudly causing Bella to flinch a bit. "Alright I'm sure Bella here would like some information so why don't we head back to the house so she can change out of those clothes." Char is really into her mama mode. Damn that shit is sexy.
We all walked at a slow as snail shit pace, so basically human. Bella wasn't one for patience though and started firing off her questions.
"What happened the night I was bitten?"
I squeezed her shoulders hoping to give her some comfort. "Well sugar Me and Char were out hunting. See how we have red eyes?" She looked at both of us and nodded. "We feed off of humans, though we try to balance that out by only drinking from and killing the ass holes of the world. Ya know, murderers, rapists that kind of shit. We came across four boys trying to use you as a party favor."
Bella flinched into my side again as a few growls erupted from around us. Emmett was not happy with that little tidbit and neither was Rosie. We all knew her story, she'd been gang raped and left for dead before Carlisle found her and chomped down hoping she'd be Edward's mate. Like he could handle her. But I'll hand it to Eddie boy, he and Jasper had matching looks of 'I'm about to kill a fucker'.
"It's ok baby girl. They's only growling cause they don't like that happening to anyone. You put up a fight though sugar, kept em off of ya long enough for us to get there, and you slugged one piece of shit even when we started chowing down. But he pushed you and you hit your head which sent ya shaking with a fit. You said you didn't wanna die and we didn't want you to either. So Char is basically your vampire mama now and I guess that makes me your pappy." My lips split giving the toothiest grin I could manage without chiseling into my cheeks.
I watched her face as she took it all in. She even looked a bit happy when I explained that we were her parents now. Wasn't but ten seconds later she seemed ok with that but wanted more.
"Why do some of you have golden eyes?"
Carlisle decided to step in which I would have bet my nuts on for him to do. "You see Bella, even though we are vampires we are still able to make choices. These choices can be hard as they go against our natural instincts but they can be acheived. Those of us with golden eyes feed only from animals and choose to preserve human life." I didn't need Jasper's gift to feel the moral superiority dripping off of him.
Jasper put his arm around Char and was probably sending her that calming mojo he's got cause she looked ready to skin Carlisle alive. This wasn't really the time to be pushing agendas on anyone. I'd be angry as hell but my intuition told me to give it a minute. Bella's brow was furrowed and she stopped walking to look at him. "What did the animals do to deserve to die?"
Jasper was projecting more pride and humor then I ever felt from him. Me, I just found that shit hilarious. I doubled over laughing and slapped my thigh seeing Carlisle look like he swallowed his damn tongue.
"They didn't do anything wrong sweetheart but it's the natural order of things."
Bella shook and exploded like a can of warm cola. "You do not call me sweetheart. According to you animals should die because they are weaker and humans should live because they are worth more. Well let me tell you something. I was weaker then those four men. You would have left me there to be raped and ruined to go hunt down a bunny that didn't do shit to you. So pardon my language, but FUCK the natural order!"
With that Bella stormed off. I knew that most of her anger had come from her newborn phase making her crazy and the trauma before her experience. But I saw that look when I came across her in that clearing and I know her concience will catch up with her eventually. She wasn't going to be making any hard decisions today though. Still didn't mean that shit wasn't hilarious.
Everyone was silent but everyone besides doc, Esme, and Alice were wearing looks of appreciation and pride. I almost stopped to lay some rules down to Eddie and Jazz though because I'm pretty damn sure that was lust in their eyes. But I pushed my daddy-ness down when I heard Mama Cullen start speaking.
Esme had gone to Carlisle's side and was holding his hand. "It's alright dear, but you must understand that she is less then a day old. It is not the right time to be pushing our philosiphy on her when she could not even withstand the call of deer blood. She needs time, and in the end we must respect her choice. You'd do well to remember that." Then she calmly walked off after Bella.
Well fuck me sideways go mama Cullen.
