Chapter 3

This is Why

It was dark for a while then all I heard was a heart beat faster then normal then I heard screaming, which was coming from her mother, she was in labor and it didn't sound like she was going to make it. After what seemed like hours, little Emlie was finally born. Her father tried to clean her up but he couldn't then that was when I realize that we were not in a hospital but in a cave somewhere. He gave Emlie to his wife and they smiled so happily about her. I saw him take out a Polaroid and take a quick picture.

"Honey you must sleep," he whispered in her ear but she refused to close her eyelids.

"I want to stay awake for a while longer please," she begged. He let her hold Emlie for a while then touched her forehead and her breathing became even. I turned to see if the others were with me or if it was just me, it was but I felt Emmett's arms wrapped around my waist. Then the scene changed her mother was fighting off beast that looked fuzzy and her father right by her side helping. Her mother was as white as Emlie was and her father was quick and deadly with a weapon and his hands. Then I could feel evilness ooze off of the person next to me. A women not more then Esme's age was walking towards then and in one twitch of her hand Emlie's mother was dead on the floor bleeding. Her father outraged by this tried to avenge her but it did not work, he as instantly killed by the beast. Or so they thought they rummaged through what looked like a small cottage and they didn't find what they were looking for. The women became anger her fury was felt by anyone who was in the room. The beast back away slightly and they waited for their command.

"Search for her" she yelled, "and when you find her bring her to me." The Beast nodded his head and was about to leave. "Oh and Max if she has one scar on her. You will end up like my poor sister here" she said this as she caressed her sister's face shooting him a death stare. The beast left and two more entered they took the body and left. Moments later, her father began to cough. He searched frantically for his wife and when he swathe blood trail his head bowed his lips moved for a second then his head shot up quickly his eyes searching for Emlie when he found her he ran to her and swooped her up. Sadness, anger, worries, and hatred crossed his face. Emlie had seen the death of her mother and her father, though he was still alive. It had happened and there was no taking it back even if he was holding her. He collected the things that were in the cradle when I found her. Then the scene changed again but I was half expecting to see when I found her but I was in a dark, foul smelling room. My eyes adjusted and I saw that it was a dungeon and there was a heavy breathing coming from something in the corner. I turned slightly to see that her mother was beaten several, I could taste her blood it was so intoxicating but I felt Emmett's arms tighten around me it was so weird how I was stuck in this vision that felt so real but every time Em arms tighten I knew that it wasn't. I heard a heavy door open and moist breathing coming closer, it was horrid beast its eyes were small and creepy looking, while his body was glossy, foul smelling and oozing pus, if I wasn't a vampire I would have thrown up. He picked her up and she didn't fight back, from the look of her she didn't seem to have much energy left. I followed reluctantly I didn't want to see what happened next. She was taken to a large room it was empty and there was nothing there but a throne. She thrown to the floor, her head hit the floor loud enough to make the beast laugh, probably at his on strength I rolled my eyes, a large wooden door open and in entered the same woman from before she walked up to her and kneeled down so she was close to her ear.

"You're not so powerful now are you," she whispered in her ear. Emlie's mother tried to shake her off but she was still to weak. Then the horrid beast grabbed her and tied her to chain links that were on the wall. The woman, who was really starting to annoy me, grabbed what looked to be a whip and cracked, it went up in flames she laughed malevolence and cracked it again but this time it slashed the back of Emlie's mother. She repeated this twenty times before she stopped. Her mother held tightly to the chain links and refused to show weakness, which made the woman even more furious. Then I saw why Emlie was screaming her lungs out because her mother had shared the moment with her, but she didn't know she was. She was still chained to the wall when the woman came back this time with the beast from the previous scene. The beast stood only a few feet from her before his nails came out. An evil grin crossed both their faces and he unchained her she fell to the floor instantly. He kicked in the stomach she flew and hit the other wall. They laughed this was entertaining to them. I wanted to help but Em arms weren't the only ones around me now Edward and jasper both had a grip on me. I tried to listen or Emlie and she was still far away from me. The bone crashing sound got my attention back to what was happening. The beast had her by the throat and she fought, weakly, to get him off. She turned white but the woman wrapped black smoke around her. Her eyes turned white and she stopped breathing, then that was the next time Emlie screamed and things got crazy. The scene changed one more time this time it was what happened before I found her. Her father was frantically trying to get out of the house they were in and he began to run, I could hear his heart beginning to slow it's pace but he had stopped only a few time to make sure their tracks were covered. He stopped about a mile form the house and waited the night out in front, why we didn't notice him was because he put up a shield that concealed them both. He didn't have much energy left so he went to go look for food but on his way he passed. I found Emlie two days later. Everything went black again then I heard Em voice but I could make out what he was saying. I opened my eyes to find everyone, especial Emmett, hovered over me. I was on my feet in second and I search frantically for Emlie she with Esme. I looked at her and sighed. I turned and buried my face into Emmett's chest if I could cry I would be hyperventilating right now. Esme brought Emlie over to me, Emmett took one arm and brought her into our little circle and we stood there like that for what felt like eternity. I heard everyone leave; Jasper and Edward reluctant to go, and we were alone in the clearing. At this point I felt weak like I wasn't able to stand up anymore. I sat and Em followed me both looked at Emlie, who was still in Em arms.

"I don't know what I got myself into Emmett," I whispered.

"We do and we will do exactly what they wanted us to do. Rose," he said lifting my head so I was looking him in the eye, "She is our daughter on and we will take care of her as our own." I nodded and stared at Emlie, who was staring at us. Her eyes were back to the dark green but her hair was a blue-black color, it had grown about three inches and was now to her shoulders.

Emmett POV

I got home after hunting, more like destroying, bears with Edward, Bella, and Nessie. I wanted to tell Rose about how Nessie took down a baby cub and how awesome it was.

"Emmett must you replay that over and over in your head," asked Edward clearly annoyed because she did it better then him. He snorted I laughed as I headed for the garage when I picked up a different scent mixed with Rose's, it smelled like flowers mixed with oranges and it was up stairs. When I got up to the room I could hear a heartbeat and someone drinking something, it smelled like milk and man that stuff smelled gross. I flung open the door and yelled, "Rose," as soon as I did that she glared at me and back up a little. Then I heard something cry and it was coming from Rose's arms, she settled down it down. I didn't move I just watched her then I got curious so I walked over to her and was on the bed peeking over her arms and there was the most beautiful baby I had seen, she even looked cuter then Nessie, I heard Edward snort. I just stared at her for a moment then I held my arms out for her, Rose didn't want to her, and Rose put her in my arms. I sat there cooing at her for a long time and asked "What it's name?" I was still having trouble trying to figure out whether it was a boy or girl, yeah it had on girl clothes but they looked like some of Nessie old clothes and we hadn't had a baby boy around here so.

"HER name," she emphasized, "I still haven't chosen I was waiting for you to come back to see what you thought about her,"

I sat there for a while and looked at her and Rose, she had wanted a child for so long and this was her chance to have one I know she wouldn't steal a baby goes against everything she believe in, they looked alike sort of she had her soft rosy cheeks and lips. When I looked at her she was trying to smile so I pulled her in, making sure the baby was cradle in the other arm, kissed her she moaned she broke free, not wanting too.

"What should we name her?" she asked

"Well she has your rosy pink cheeks," I told her

"Yeah but she has your curly hair."

"How about Emily?"

"No, I want something different." She looked at me like 'Ew I want a different name'

"So then spell it a different way."

"What do you mean spell it a different way like what?"

"Like E-M-L-I-E, the first two letters from my name and the last three from yours." I said. She smiled like a kid at Christmas time and whispered "I like it Emlie Cullen."

We sat there and watched her for hours, I could tell Rose was hungry so I told her to go hunt. She tried to refuse but I told her it wouldn't be safe for Emlie is her mother tried to attack her she went with Jasper and Alice. I sat in the living room with Emlie still in my arms I could just watch her for day and not get tried.

"Yeah they tend to do that to you," said Edward who was watching Nessie play with Jacob.

Esme sat down next to me and held her hands out for her I gave her Emlie, she looked so happy to hold her.

"What her name?" she asked.

"Emlie," I said

"Oh that cute" cooed Edward I throw I pillow at him but of course he caught it before it hit him.

"What so cute?" Bella asked walking back into the room.

"How Emmett here was the one who named her," he answered her.

"And what is wrong with that" she asked picking up Nessie, Jacob got a little upset but he wasn't going to piss Bella off not what happened after last week. You see after the whole Volturi thing, Edward hissed, things went back to normal Edward went to find away for Nessie to grow, which they still haven't found. Jacob decide to take Nessie down to the beach so she could play with Claire, Quil imprint, and Nessie saw Paul and a couple of other wolves go cliff diving and Nessie got Jacob to take her, tough I don't think it was a tough decision, when Bella came to pick up Nessie all she sees is her daughter jumping off the cliff and Jacob standing there watching her and laughing she became furious, that doesn't even begin to described how mad she was, I heard Edward laugh, let just saw if it wasn't for Charlie being there I am sure Jacob would be in doggy heaven.

"Yeah, I don't think he will," giving Jacob a devilish smile. Jacob looked at both of us confuse, stupid mutt. Carlisle walked in and saw that Esme had a child in her arms he looked confused.

"Rose found her early today," Edward answered, I really hated when he did that. He rolled his eyes.

"Oh I see well she is beautiful, congratulation Emmett," he said "what her name?"

"Emlie," I replied. He walked up to her and smiled "she is beautiful, looks likes the both of you." He said and sat down next to Esme, who was cooing over her. Then I remembered something and ran up stairs looking for the bracelet Rose always had, it was for her first born, in the instant her first child, I found the bracelet and went down stairs. I gave it to Esme to in on for her. We sat there and talked about how Carlisle might have found someone who could help with Nessie's problem, Bella cringed, and I just watched Emlie, who was now sleeping in Esme's arms.

By then Rose had came back and I knew there would a lot of question for her. Hold off on that for a while I said to Edward he nodded his head. I saw her recognized the bracelet, when she took Emlie and smiled

"Thought she might like it," I said.

"It's beautiful, just like her," she replied sitting down next to me, feeding her the bottle Alice got for her. She was so hungry when Rose began to feed her she looked up at Edward.

"Wait her father is dead" he asked. I looked at her, she didn't tell me that but I didn't ask so, and so did everyone else. She nodded and told us "There was a letter I think I left it upstairs that explains everything." While Esme went upstairs and to get the letter she told us that she found her father just out front pass the road before the side road and to follow a strong scent. She showed Edward exactly and he nodded. When Esme return she began reading it out loud.

If you are reading this I have probably already passed, I have been fighting an illness for seven years and it is my time, my wife passed trying to bring our child into this world. I know I am asking too much but please watch over her as if she were your own. Again I know this is a lot to ask for but I couldn't put her through an orphanage. I have yet to name her so I leave that to you. She is special little girl and she will change the future I just know it. Please I beg of you to take care of my little angel and be kind to her because she will be nothing but the same to you.

I'm sorry to leave such a burden on your shoulder but it was for the best. She is only 14 days and she has had little to eat. Take care of my angel and May she bring joy it your life, as she has to mine, though our time was short.

There is another letter under the cradle and if you wish to show her please do. They are the final words her mother and I wrote to her. You may or may not wish for her to read it but I would highly advice you to let her. Please do not read these letters it is for her.

Sincerely

Kevin Richardson

We all stood there silent and I got up and bounded out the door and Carlisle, Jasper and Edward right on my heel. I could smell her father before I saw him. I stopped dead in my track Carlisle and Edward went forward while Jasper and I stayed back. Edward and Carlisle were talking, more like Carlisle thought Edward answered. After about an hour or so Carlisle decide that he wanted to take the body home to exam it more. So I grabbed the body and tossed it over my shoulder by the time we got back the girls were on the porch waiting for us. I set the body down and I saw the look of hurt across all of their faces. Then Emlie began to scream everyone froze Rose went in side and tried to calm her down but it wasn't working.

"Jasper help her would you," I asked. I could tell he was trying.

"It seems like she not anger or anything she's just screaming," he said on edge. I saw Rose go through the woods and I followed we hit the clearing in seconds and Rose was humming softly in her ear to calm her down but Emlie was still screaming, Rose was so scared. I stood there watching them, then Emlie's eyes snapped open and they began to change colors to purple, red then back to dark green. Then her hair started changing colors it was jet-black, then blonde and then strawberry red. Rose continued humming into her ear and she started to calm down a little. She looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders I had no clue as to what was going on. Seconds later we heard the rest of the family coming to us.

"Is she ok," asked Esme as she approached us, concerned written on her face. We had no clue as to what would happen next.

"She fine but…" Rose didn't finish because I tell she was unsure about the way Emlie was feeling. I looked at Jasper, who kept calming us, then I looked at Edward, him and Rose were talking.

"She's seeing you and Emmett and everyone else but she also see a dark shadow following her," he said.

"Rose whatever you did to make her stop screaming before you better do it again because…" before Alice could finish Emlie was screaming again but this time there were tears streaming down her cheek. I grabbed hold of Rose because she looked like she would lose it. Emlie eyes snapped open again and they started changing color but this time her hair was doing it as well. First they were blue, green, yellow, and then black they stayed like that for a while. Then her body began to beam, like she was about o explode or something. I tighten my grip around Rose's waist.

"I can't see anything, whatever she is doing is making it difficult…" he said but looked at Alice, who had a blank look on her face, having a vision. Edward started to back up along with the rest of the family. I looked at him Edward what's going on and before he could answer my question. Alice whispered "Rose put her down now," but Rose didn't move and neither did I.

"No" she whispered softly.

"Rose put her down NOW," she yelled. One thing I knew was that you never messed with an anger pixie and Alice looked to have killed us if I didn't force Rose to let got of Emlie and we back away quickly. As soon as she let go Emlie was in the air her body looked like a lighthouse and her eyes and hair were as black as the sky.

Everything went black but in seconds it was back to normal I had to blink a couple of times to get my vision straight. I looked down at Rose she was on her knees and her eyes were as black as Emlie's. I felt her trying to break free but I held her tightly tome. She stayed like this for hours I watched it horror as Rose was lifeless in my hands; well that was what it felt like. I could see everyone was scared, including Nessie she love her auntie Rose and she put her hand on Bella and Bella shook her head to answer her question. She wiggled out of Bella's arms and came to stand by me. I looked at her, she placed her little pink hand on me and she asked what was wrong with auntie rose I shook my head and looked up at Edward.

"Emlie is showing her how she got here and what happened." he answered Nessie's question, as he picked her up. Rose began pushing against me again but I kept my hold on her. Then after a few seconds Jasper and Edward were by my side holding Rose back and man was she trying to break free, she even growled at me and tried to bit me in the process but I was quick enough to not get bitten. She fell to her knees this time and her eye turned white I looked up at Emlie and she was beginning to descend her skin was going back to normal and her eyes as well. Carlisle grabbed a hold of her while I went to get Emlie I gave her to Esme so I could be sure that Rose was ok. When she opened her eyes I let a breath, I didn't know I was holding. I grabbed her and pulled her into a bear hug we stayed like this for a while then Esme brought Emlie to me, I encased her into our small hug. I need some time only with her go I begged Edward, who didn't want to leave but Carlisle read my face and took him and Jasper with them.

Rose whispered "I don't know what I got myself into Emmett,"

"We do," I said a little doubtful about it "and we will do exactly what they wanted us to do." "Rose," I said lifting her head so she was looking me, "She is our daughter now and we will take care of her as our own." She nodded, though I knew she would have tough time with it. We both looked at Emlie and she looked sorry for what she had just shown Rose but I think it was for the best. Her eyes returned to the dark green color but her hair stayed a blue-black color.
