Chapter 4

Seth POV

My senses were in total overdrive; the amount of vampires were making it hard to quench the instinct to grab Adanne and run. But from what Eleazar said - Adanne isn't exactly defenseless. She proved that by giving us all a run for our money.

She was definitely an interesting character. Beautiful, too. Stunning skin the colour of milk chocolate but I couldn't help but notice it had a light shimmer, rather similar to Renesmee's. Her scent was one of the best things about her. It permeated the air around her, lingering long after she was gone; it was the smell of the forest, of life. Wide amber eyes balanced with a pouty cupid's bow mouth that I just knew would make her smile dazzling. Her clothes were tatters and allowed me to see much more than I really should have been allowed but, oh well.

Her posture as she walked showed she was alert; ready for any possibility, any attack on her. I vowed then to change that, make her relax and smile, thin of us as her family. After all she was my everything now.

I still remember the exact moment that happened; I probably would for the rest of my life. She had sat crouched in the tree about thirty foot up surveying everything. She watched us all, taking in our slight changes of stance to indicate our mood or current inclination. It was as she looked over at the Pack once Jacob had phased to talk that it happened. Her amber coloured eyes had been alight with wonder and curiosity; no fear in her expression at all. As soon as she looked into my dull brown eyes my world flipped on it's axis. Everything I knew to be fact was no longer so. Gravity didn't hold me to the Earth, she did - Adanne, the stunnig warrior that she was.

She had guts, too. She stood up to Carlisle Cullen even baited him to anger. She was a spitfire that ws for sure. I was proud to have her as my imprint. God knows you needed to be strong to deal with the pack.

We arrived at the Cullen house pretty quickly. Garrett almost tumbled into Adanne when she stopped and sat on the grass. Bella gave her a questioning look.

"It's more relaxing out here, I'd rather not go in your house" she explained, leaning back on her hands. Bella nodded to herself and went to fetch Renesmee. The vampires spread out around us to keep Adanne under control. That one thought set my teeth on edge. She shouldn't be controlled or coralled into anything. If she wanted to do something she should. I watched Adanne tense as the vampires stood over her, keeping her in check.

"Back off" Edward growled at the vampires keeping guard.

"But she might get away!" cried Emmett in desperation.

"She's a person, not a prisoner" Garrett spat, glaring at the vampires.

"She could hurt Nessie" Tanya argued, looking pointedly to Adanne.

"Go stand by her then if you are so worried" Adanne said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes. I smiled at her cheek. I could see Edward smirking, trying tohide his laughter. That of course all changed when Bella came out with Nessie in her arms. Jake (of course) ran immediatly to Renesmee's side. For once though the little girl showed no interest in him, her gaze instead was fixed on my Adanne; who was likewise transfixed. Almost in tandem they tilted they're heads to the side in a display of childlike inquisitiveness. Nessie absent-mindedly reach back to tap Bella's face. I assume she posed a question regarding Adanne.

"Yes, that's her, Adanne is her name, she's special like you" Bella responded. Bella sat opposite Adanne with Renesmee held firmly in her lap. Jake hovered nearby as did Edward. I, on the other hand stood to the side of Adanne; watching over her. Just as I always would.

"Hello?" Adanne asked eventually.

"Hello, I'm Renesmee"

"Adanne" she replied with a soft smile; her eyes were full of wonder.

"How old are you?" Nessie asked curiously.

"Around six" she replied. Whoa. She was six years old and she looked like a teenager. Bella let out a cry of anguish upon hearing Adanne's answer; drawing her attention.

"Why are you crying?" Adanne and Nessie chorused.

"I'm sad; your lives are so short" Bella said sobbing tearlessly. I could see Jake's eyes filling with tears as well. Hell, mine were too.

"No, they aren't!" Adanne argued. "We're immortal, we age fast for the first seven years then stop aging"

"How do you know this if you are only six?" Jacob asked warily but his eyes showed he was hopeful. Adanne just looked at him as though he was stupid.

"I have older siblings" she said by way of explanation.

"Really?" Renesmee asked with wide eyes and a dimpled grin on her face.

"Yep, mostly girls and I only have one brother, Nahuel, the only one of my siblings I've met is Jennifer, the youngest besides me" she replied. "From what I gathered Nahuel and I are the odd ones out"

"How so?" I found myself asking.

"We both care for our mothers, the other's don't; they only have eyes for our father" she answered.

"Do you not care for your father?" Garrett asked. Her face hardened considerably, startling me with the intensity of her hatred.

"No" she spat. "He is no father to me! My mother is the only parent I will ever acknowledge"

"Does she not care that you are so far from home on your own?" Bella asked curiously. "I know I would be terrified if Renesmee were so far from home"

"Yes, but biologically you and Renesmee aren't related are you?"

"No, we are, I am her mother and got pregnant as a human" Bella assured her. Adanne let out a dark chuckle.

"I don't suppose she was born in a hospital?" she queried.

"No, she was delivered with the medical equipment here" Edward answered, staring at Adanne - everyone was by now; listening.

"Medical equipment" Adanne snorted. "I was born in the middle of a jungle the traditional way" she said with a gesture to herself. Shocked gasps rang around us, myself included.

"Yep, I can remember it all in rather harsh detail; I know it wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, the last thing she said was my name" Her voice had changed from sarcastic to haunted as her speech continued. I could tell that her pain was not as forgotten as she tried to make it out to be.

"What did you do then? Where was your father?" Bella asked with morbid curiousity

"My father? A much more accurate word would be sperm donor" she said with a scoff. "He got her pregnant then left her to die; he knew what I would do as a infant"

"What else can you tell us of vampire hybrids?" Emmett piped in after several moment's silence.

"That depends, what do you want to know?" She asked with a wide smile.
