Chrissie-Edward's POV
"Emmett will you stop?" I groaned. I knew he could hear, even though he was on the other side of the house. "Please, it's driving me crazy."
I heard Emmett reply, "Oh Edward, just because you're not getting any doesn't mean others can't."
"Yes, but do you have to be so loud about it?"
"Why are you listening anyway?"
"It's kind of hard to when you're practically screaming about her in your head"
I heard Emmett growl and then he started thinking about things that I didn't want to see. Him and his wife Rosalie alone in their room, him taking Rosalie's…
"Emmett…" I growled, and flew up the stairs. I threw the door to Emmett and Rosalie's door open and tackled him. We wrestled on the floor and Emmett pinned me to the wall near the window. He was about to hit me when he saw something moving from the corner of his eye. He looked at it properly and dropped me.
Oh my god, what the hel… Edwar… kid, appearing
I glanced out the window and started. In all of my existence I had never seen anything like this; it looked like a small child was being built out of sand that was being snatched from the wind.
When the child was finally appeared completely, I saw that it was a two year old that looked like a vampire. On her back was a large, expensive looking backpack that had straps too big for her shoulders.
"Immortal child," I whispered. The immortal children were forbidden on pain of death by the Volturi. They were reckless and impossible to control, almost exposing vampires all over the world last time.
The Denli had lost their mother because she had created one; her daughters had only escaped with their lives because Aro had been feeling merciful. And if an immortal child was here, we would have to destroy her or risk being destroyed ourselves.
I ran to the back door, Emmett behind me, his thoughts screaming in my head.
Immortal child, she is an immortal child. How did she get here?
The child looked up at us and started running, perhaps sensing that we were dangerous. I felt a shock as I took in her large eyes. That wasn't normal.
The child headed towards the woods but she was moving strangely, like she was hurt. She began to shiver and suddenly burst out of her skin. In her place was a small, sleek, white wolf. Now I understood the reason for her backpack straps being so big.
A wolf? A wolf, those bloody werewolves crossing the treaty line. Look forward to a fight Edward.
Oh no, I'm goingto have to call Carlisle before Emmett does something he will regret later. This is a child for goodness sake! And how is a child able to phase into a wolf anyway? What am I thinking this is an immortal child! We have to destroy her.
This was going to be hard- Carlisle had once met two immortal children and I had seen them in his mind. They could wrap you around their little fingers so you couldn't hurt them. This would have to be quick.
The wolf picked up pace, as if knowing what I was thinking. We flew past trees leaving Emmett behind.
Finally the wolf stopped at the far side of a clearing and phased back into a little girl. She collapsed against a tree, and pulled her backpack in front of her. Her clothes, that she had being wearing, had been torn when she had phased into a wolf.
I moved closer, ready to kill on her when I heard it, a heart beat. And it was coming from the immortal child in front of me, which meant that there was no way that she could be a vampire, and she could phase, there was no way a werewolf could be a vampire, our venom was lethal to them.
I moved closer still, listening for her mind, for anything to tell me what was going on.
Aro… Volturi… Bella… Alec… Jamie... help...ow…go away…no hurt…go away, not go with Volturi
Carefully, I crouched in front of her. "Shh" I whispered. Her eyes shot to my face and I felt my dead heart leap. Her eyes were a smoky blue and huge on her little face, and I could hear her heart beat even faster.
The child's expression lightened and she leaned in towards me, studying my face. I listened into her thoughts and was surprised to hear silence, but I had heard her thoughts a while ago!
I smiled softly at her and she tilted her head to the side. I moved closer and she drew back.
"Shh," I whispered again, "It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not with the Volturi, they aren't here."
She blinked, and her forehead creased. The child moved forwards, slowly, and put her small hand under my eye.
It was like she was sending me a message. I wasn't reading her mind- she was sending her thoughts to me: gold? Where blue?
It came with a picture of an eye, blue like the child's but not as round and a different shape.
I covered her hand with mine and rubbed soothing circles into it, "What's your name, sweetie?"
Chrissie she sent to me. I looked into her eyes and she cocked her head. It was so cute. She sent me another message what you named?
"Edward."
She nodded her head, and sent to me that she acknowledged what my name was.
Suddenly her eyes flickered to something behind me, and she scooted back to the tree, curled into a little ball.
She was hugging her backpack to her body and shivering- only then did I realise that she wasn't wearing anything, that all her clothes had been destroyed when she had phased. I turned to see what had frightened Chrissie, and saw Emmett glaring at me. Of course he hadn't heard our conversation.
What are you doing? Kill her already!
"Listen, Emmett," I whispered "What do you hear?"
A heartbeat, who cares?
"Where is it coming from?" I asked, and I stretched out my hand to Chrissie. I heard Emmett's silent exclamation and shock. Chrissie studied me, and I got the feeling that she had heard Emmett's thoughts as well.
I jerked myself out of my wonderings and opened my arms for Chrissie to climb into to. She eyed Emmett behind me. He grinned at her.
"Don't worry Chrissie, he's my brother, he won't hurt you..." Not if he knows what's good for him I thought. "His names Emmett he's not with the Volturi either"
Chrissie looked slightly confused at the word 'brother' then jumped at vampire speed into my arms. I drew her to my chest and picked up her backpack. It would have been way too heavy for a human child of her age but from what we had seen, Chrissie was some sort of vampire-werewolf hybrid and who knew what else.
I tossed the pack to Emmett, "See if you can find her some clothes," I muttered "She's cold."
Emmett reached into the bag and came up with a complete blue outfit. He handed those to me and I helped Chrissie into them. Her shivering stopped once she was clothed and back in my arms.
She rested her head on the crook in my neck and gazed up at me like she was trying to figure something out. Her small hand went up again, and I bent my head so that she could touch my cheek.
Edward I'm thirsty, But it wasn't the kind of thirst that could be quenched with water. Chrissie's message came with an image and smell that were familiar with me. There was a brown haired girl leaning over a dead mountain lion, drinking its blood. Then my vision was blocked by a red bottle. Then I realised that the bottle wasn't red the stuff inside it was.
Blood. Blood from the mountain lion by the look and smell of it, but the deliciousness was marred by a smell that would make any vampire's stomach turn. Human food, milk was mixed in with the dead animal's blood.
"oh"
I hadn't realised that I had spoken out loud until Emmett asked "what, what's the matter?"
"Chrissie's thirsty" I informed him
"Well she'll have to wait until we get back to the house to get a drink"
"no, not that way Emmett, the vampire way, she wants blood"
Emmett stared at Chrissie, then grinned in a slightly evil way "what kind? Deer, mountain lion, grizzly bear!"
I could tell that he wanted to have some fun, and to Emmett nothing's more fun then an irritated grizzly
"Well by what I can see of the message I'd say mountain lion"
"Message? What the hell are you talking about Edward?"
"I can't read her mind Emmett" I said looking down into those blue eyes trying to see if it had just been a glitch. "she's telling me things via touch it's like she can send thoughts if she's touching you"
I looked up to see Emmett studying Chrissie the same way a child might study a present under the Christmas Tree it see if they can tell what the surprise might be. I was distracted from Emmett by Chrissie tapping my cheek again.
Another memory, the same girl as the one who had killed the mountain lion was packing Chrissie's backpack with bottle of blood before the clothes that she was wearing.
"Wait never mind, I think she's got some blood in her pack, could you past me it" I asked holding out my hand. The smell told me that it was indeed blood that Emmett had put in my hand and not some kind of object that would frighten the hell out of the girl in my arms.
I handed the bottle to Chrissie and watched as she bolted it down.
Does she want this stuff? Emmett asked holding out a bottle that had a mix of blood and milk
Chrissie glanced at the bottle in Emmett's hand and said clearly "no thankyou, full" she rubbed her tummy.
"Right, Emmett?" I asked grinning "want to race?"
Emmett's face lit up, "you're on!"
"Hold on tight Chrissie" I whispered. Her grip on my neck tightened and her legs gripped my waist. After making sure she wouldn't slip I sprang forward allowing my natural speed to burst through.
Chrissie squealed, and cried out loud "fast Eddie faster!" I grinned and push my leg harder leaving Emmett far behind
"Oi get your butt back here" I shook my head Emmett really need to tone down the language
"Emmett, minor in the room, how about you use nice language?" I called back.
