Okay here's the chapter I said I was going to upload, I hope you like it and hope you REVIEW since I always like to read what you think of the story... There are some surprises coming and I promise that I will explain a bit more in the next chapter what happened in this one because it might be a little fast—

Oh and another thing is that in chapter thirteen or so, the point of view will be Tanya's or Kate's... I'm planning on following the story through her eyes (Tanya or Kate), so... WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should I follow Kate's point of view or Tanya's? I don't know which one, I love them both!

XOXO, PAU

Chapter Ten

"I was driving, not really watching where I was going because I was distracted and he… just appeared in front of the car…" I stopped and revived everything. Me, driving with my head miles away and suddenly him… A little, silver-headed boy, onyx dark eyes and small rounded face… he appeared in front of my car, I had stopped immediately thanks to my fast reflexes. I had gotten out of the car faster than ever and asked him what was wrong, what had happened.

I had never, ever felt such a motherly instinct, but this little boy had woken up every instinct inside me.

Not like I felt him as my kid already, I just felt protective.

"His name's Thai, he… someone changed him, probably his mother. He told me her mother disappeared one day, the next week, her mother came back, killed Thai's dad and changed Thai… he- he thinks that's what happened…" Esme gasped, "He doesn't remember, just remembers the pain and suddenly feeling strong."

I looked at everyone in the eye and then went to bring Thai to the house.

Everyone stared in stunned silence before Edward interrupted it with a stiff voice.

"He's not evil or anything, he's just confused... and scared."

Everyone exhaled in relief and I almost scream in happiness.

I saw Carlisle looking at Eleazar, and Eleazar opened his mouth to talk but little Thai talked first:

"I am not bad. Mummy always told me killing people's bad." He stopped, looked down and said, "She killed daddy, though, so maybe she was bad…" Thai said, his big black eyes shining, "I feel hot, my mouth. People make me hurt, but not you." He smiled shyly.

And I looked at Esme who looked like she wanted to hug him until he fainted.

"It's illegal," Eleazar hissed.

"It's wrong" Carmen said a little sad.

Thai took a step back.

"We just can't kill him!" Esme said offended.

"Of course not, Esme, but what should we do?" Carlisle amended.

"Take one step at a time," said Alice simply, "He said he had never hunted anyone, right?"

I nodded.

"Then—" Alice didn't finish her sentence because Edward beat her to it.

"Then he's most probably very hungry... Rosalie, Kate, Alice, may you go with him, teach him to hunt animals?" Edward said and Alice stuck his tongue out.

"I'll go with Alice. Rose, Kate, you stay," Esme said taking a step forward and I saw her eagerness to talk to Thai, to touch him, to treat him like her son.

I walked toward Thai, "Thai? Esme and Alice here are going with you and help you so you don't feel hot in your mouth any more, okay?" I said awkwardly, I still felt the protective instinct but I had always been awkward around little kids and I apparently still was.

"Okay" he said and went out with Esme and Alice.

As soon as they were out of earshot Carlisle took the situation in his hands and talked, his voice echoing through the walls: "The situation here is grave, we have a little boy of no more than six years, we didn't create him and we are not related to him in any way. The easy way out would be killing him and getting over it..." Before I could say anything, he kept talking over my protests, "But I know Bella, Alice, Esme and the other girls would never forgive me if we did kill the boy, besides it's wrong to just kill because he could be dangerous before knowing if he is in fact dangerous.

"So I got to a conclusion," he paused and looked at all of us but his eyes paused in Eleazar, "Eleazar, since this is your house, I will leave you with the final word, but my conclusion might be the right thing to do so I don't think you'll oppose—" Carlisle was interrupted by light steps coming to the house.

I saw Irina fidgeting and I think Edward saw it too, or maybe he heard Irina's thoughts because he took a step in front of me and in the way of the door.

Everyone looked towards the door with expectation.

Irina's voice was shaky when she said loudly, loud enough to the visitant to hear if he was a vampire, "Come in."

The door opened and in the doorstep was Laurent, beautiful as always but now he was regarding us cautiously me specially, like I was a new specimen who was not trusted and I realized it was since from everyone in the room I was the only one with real reasons to want to kill him. I had been changed because his friend had chased me...

"I'm going away, to London," Irina's voice was weak, "With Laurent." She said now, louder.

Carmen gasped and Kate looked like Irina had slapped her. Tanya was impassive.

"You're going." Tanya said deadpan.

"Yeah, I mean, yeah with Laurent." Irina said, "Kate, Tanya, you've really been like sisters to me, you know that, but then I met Laurent and—"

"You don't have to explain, just go." Kate said.

Carmen talked then, "What Kate means, rudeness aside is that if you really want to leave, you can go freely."

Irina nodded and turned, she took Laurent's hand and left.

I had forgotten to look at Eleazar but when Irina left, I heard him take a big intake of air, like he was out of breath.

I knew that feeling, it was an oppressing thing that was over your heart and lungs that made you feel like that.

It was the same I felt every day I didn't see my dad or my mom.

The Denali clan was silent and Carlisle was afraid to continue, so I looked at Emmett and Rosalie who had appeared out of nothing before I had come in with Thai, I guessed Alice had seen something was wrong and had called them.

I didn't know they were so close by, I thought they were on the other side of the world.

Finally, Carlisle decided to talk...

"What I think we should do is keep Thai with us but call the Volturis, they'll know what to do, we'll explain and I guess they'll kill the boy or make us responsible..."

Edward had told me who the Volturis were, the royals of the vampires or something like that, the Law maybe is more like it...

From what he had told me, they were creepy and I had planned on evading them all my eternal life, it looked like that wasn't going to be possible...
