"Trust me, young one. If this whole thing does come to a battle, It's best to have as many on your side as possible. You didn't ask for my assistance, I'm offering it. Now, lets head out, it'll be dark soon and I don't think your dog friends like us being on their land." agreeing with me, the three turned, thanked the Alpha he called Sam and then we were off.
In a short time it took us to arrive at the Cullen family home, I learned the names of the three vampires escorting me. the tall male called himself Emmett, then there was his mate Rosalie who didn't seem to trust or like me as of yet. Lastly there was the short male, Edward, who had also informed me that the volturi were falsely informed the he and his mate Bella had created an immortal child.
at the mention of the child I faltered in my strides, immortal children were extremely unpredictable and vastly dangerous. But the three assured me that there was no immortal toddlers involved in their dilemma. giving them the benefit of the doubt, we carried on.
Now I stood before an impressive home with large glass windows, I couldn't help the small smile that appeared on my lips for a brief moment. Carlisle did love the outdoors, and sunlight was like honey on the skin according to him. being cold to the touch as we are, I understood what he meant, sunlight was one of the many simple pleasures I indulged in.
"wait here, I'll get them." Edward informed me before heading into the house. I could here him speaking softly the whoever was inside. "We have another visitor for you Renesmee, would you like to meet her?" There was a shifting inside before more talking could just barely be heard. "Jacob, Bella. Rose ans Emmett are out there with her. But if you want some of the others to come out too, Carlisle isn't back yet, she knows him but I wont trust her until he comes back." There was a mumbled response I couldn't quite make out.
It was completely understandable not to trust me at this point. As far as they knew I was an assassin from the Volturi or some selfish rebel that was looking for a great battle to be a part of. Until Carlisle returned, I was a stranger to be wary of and I accepted that.
Several figured emerged from the house, one of which was a wolf. It was curious that a wolf would be in a house crawling with our kind, but with the treaty I assume they have I didn't question it. I froze upon seeing a little girl between Edward and a female I assumed was his mate. I suddenly felt the urge to back up a bit, but stood my ground.
This little girl was clearly not human, but upon closer inspection I could see that she was not immortal either. Dumbfounded, I didn't know how to react. My gaze snapped from the girl to Edward, everyone seemed to be on edge, but none more than the three the surrounded the young creature they had brought to meet me. they had all moved closed enough to where I could even hear to tiny heart beat like that of a humming bird.
"She's not?" I didn't know how to even begin. "No she's not. she was born, Bella and I are her Biological parents. She can show you if you let her." I was definitely curious as to how she would do that, so I quickly nodded and knelt down to the child's level.
The girl walked towards me then, her large brown eyes just as curious and cautious as my golden orbs. She place her small hand to my cheek, and I saw everything, all of the memories of her growth. From her in her mothers womb hearing Edwards voice for the first time, to being born and seeing her mother and father. How rapidly she grew and learned and developed, she was truly something. I had even caught a few glimpses of Carlisle as he ran test on the child, measuring her accelerated growth and writing in a journal.
Renesmee took her hand away after showing me a blonde vampire, looking at her with shock and horror before sprinting off into the trees. I looked into this girls eyes again, and I couldn't hold back anymore. An enormous smile spread across my face, then hers.
"you, Renesmee Cullen, are truly extraordinary aren't you? In all my years I haven't, well. I've never seen anything quite like you young lady, and your gift, so unique." I was in awe of this little girl, really she was magnificent.
Then I got an idea. "Ms. Cullen." I said the her, making her giggle slightly before humming in response. "Would you like me to show you something I can do now?" I asked her with a smile still firmly on my face. Renesmee nodded eagerly before looking to her mother, silently asking if it was ok.
"It's fine sweety, go ahead." Bella encouraged her daughter but still kept a close eye on the two of us, she was protective and I completely understood her reasoning.
"ok, now what this little one." I raised my hand into one of the last rays of sunlight, just as the sun was setting and took hold. grabbing the sunbeam from the air, then I took my other hand. lifting a finger to tell her to wait, that it got better. then using my free hand, reached for her shadow and grasped at it as well.
I made a show of lifting them both to where the child could see them, then I cupped my hands close together but only enough to see the darkness and light mix together. Then I took them both into one hand. "may I have you hands young miss?" Her amazed face quickly split into a grin as she lifted both hands together, eagerly awaiting whatever was coming next. I put my hand above hers and put the energy I held into them.
"It's so warm!" She exclaimed looking down at her hands as the energy swirled together as one, the light making the shadows sparkle as the dark in the light cast dancing shapes on her palms. "And It's so pretty!" It seemed she couldn't get enough, but I had just a bit more to show her.
I twisted my hands to swirl the energy around and around It lifted and moved around Renesmee before moving up high above her head and poofing into a sparkling dust that rained down onto her head. Her laughter was infectious, many of the others joined in with her.
I got to my feet then, it seemed to be getting late, and I wasn't sure if the child needed rest or not. glancing at Edward, who I long since discovered was a telepath, nodded his head and called for his daughter. I then decided that I should probably get to know some of these people, if there was the chance I would be fighting along side them. But I didn't get a chance to introduce myself before I heard an oh so familiar voice off to my left. "Roenna?"
