Chapter 5

Adanne POV

"That depends, what do you want to know?" I asked with a grin. The vampires around me were all still very tense; on alert due to their uncertainty regarding me. The surrounding grounds of the white house were very well kept despite the hoarde of supernatural beings residing in the immediate area.

"Can you reproduce?" Bella asked right off the bat. I laughed at her bluntness before putting a lid on my laughter at her stony expression.

"Neither I, nor my siblings have reproduced yet as none of us are mated" I said in explanation. Sensing her question I continued, "But from our body's indications it should be no problem"

"Your body's indications?" Bella asked curiously.

"Uh, it still changes" I replied quickly wanting to go into no more detail than strictly necessary about my body's reproductive and menstrual cycles.

"How so?" This thime the question came from the russet skinned male standing so near to Renesmee. I never got his name.

"I can get fatter and thinner depending on my food consumption and such but also the uh... typical... human indicators" I explained.

"Okay... New question: Are you venemous?" the tall man beside me asked awkwardly.

"No, none of my sister's are either but my brother is, whether that has anything to do with gender or not I don't know" I replied with a smile.

"So, you can't change anyone but your brother could?" the scientist blond asked.

"Yep" i said with a nod looking around at all of them.

"Sorry, I just realised you don't know who any of us are" Bella exclaimed with a small, apologetic smile on her face. She then proceded to introduce everyone from Carlisle (the scientist) to Liam (the sullen irish male). I was even introduced to the 'werewolves' Jacob, Seth, Quil, Embry and Leah. It was all rather interesting to know.

"Hey, Dani?" Quil asked, looking to me with an excited grin on his face. I raised my brow in a silent question; beckoning him to continue. "Eleazar said you were not 'so harmless', care to elaborate?" he asked with a boyish grin on his face that defied his more mature phisique.

"I suppose so" I conceded after a moment of thought. "Every person - human, vampire or werewolf - has nerve endings that communicate around their body" I paused, gathering my thoughts. I couldn't help but notice that everybody was listening to my words with rapt attention; their faces a mix between curiousity, awe and fear. "With the right manipulation, you can numb someone's pain, create it, render them unconscious or even wipe their memory of any one event or them all"

"Whoa" that shocked murmur was from Seth who stared at me with wide eyes that showed his true age of fifthteen.

"I can manipulate a being's nervous system, that is how I have been living so far; any hostile tha I encounter is rendered unconscious and then I erase their memory of me and move on" I finished before turning to Bella. "That is what I have been doing since my birth" I said in response to her earlier question that went unanswered.

"So, you are pretty much deadly" Emmett concluded with an impish grin towards me. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Do you know anything about the conception of a hybrid such as yourself?" Edward asked. I knew he was thinking of the conception of Renesmee and how much of a miracle it was; in the end.

"You want to know how...?" I asked in shock, my question drifting off.

"No! No, no, no!" Edward cried out. If he could blush, he would be.

"Oh!" I gasped in understanding. "My fathe- Joham, believed himself a scientist - that's how he got turned in the first place becasue of his curiousity about vampirism - he became intrigued with the idea of hybrids, his firsts were failures due to his lack of control but gradually he perfected the self-control needed" I began, repeating the words of Jennifer. "Sometimes he still slipped up... Others the foetus inflicted injuries too great for the mother to bear. His first triumph was Serena, my oldest sibling, Joham stayed with them to monitor her mother of the same name in an effort to keep them alive long enough to be viable. Serena was born in 1810 roughly, and is the closest to Joham as she was around him for most of her life as he monitored her progress, development etcetera. Maysun was next, another daughter, they were abandoned by Joham as he already knew of the hybrid pregnancy and development, so Serena reared Maysun, next was Nahuel he was born to test the theory Joham had formed-" I was interrupted but Carlisle who eagerly demanded answers.

"What theory? What theory?" he demanded impatiently.

"Joham theorised that the more appealing a female's scent to him, the more likely conception was... Nahuel's conception was proof as it occurred within the first two weeks and Pire; his mother, smelt really appealing to Joham" I finished looking at the vampires around me and gaging their reaction to the knowledge, most looked thoughtful but Carlisle looked intrigued. That worried me. We all sat in our various contemplative states until Esme, Carlisle's wife and resident mother hen broke up our somber mood.

"That is quite enough of that talk! I'm sure the wolves, Renesmee and Adanne are all rather in need of nourishment by now - let's all head inside" she ordered making me smile at her motherly nature. The werewolves jumped at the offer of food save the female, Leah, she slunk back into the forest on her own. Nessie grinned nodding at Bella's question. Bella handed Nessie over to Edward before heading over to Zafrina to talk. I followed Nessie and Edward inside the lavish house. It certainly made me feel out of place in my worn clothes. Rosalie fussing about with what I presumed to be a microwave whilst the wolves dug into a spread that was layed out on the large dining table. I went to sit in the spare seat at the end of the table but paused when I noticed the looks of reluctance from the wolves who had noticed my movement and the looks of confusion from the vampires and Nessie; in fact, everyone was looking at me in confusion.

"What? I was just going to sit down" I said defensively. I continued my plan, sitting at the table out of the way. Rosalie pulled a metal cup from the microwave then and as soon as the odor reached me I wanted to vomit. It was vulgar and honestly made me feel nauseous. As the smell permeated the room I felt bile creep up my throat and tried to resist the urge to be sick; I was failing miserably. Renesmee began to eagerly drink nad that was the final straw.

Before I even registered that I had done it, I was out of the dining room window and vomitting in the large ceramic plant pot that bordered the house. I could only thank the heavens that it was empty. I'd feel even worse if it was full of Esme's roses or something. I could hear the worried murmurs of the people around me as I retched but one warm hand on my back to steady me was the most comforting thing. I heard a loud growl from next to me that only mildly concerned me. Even that growl only managed to comfort me, I found myself worrying for the one growling instead of my own well-being or who was being growled at. Once I finally gained control of my bodily functions I was able to clean myself off with a flannel and then survey my surroundings. Next to me, Seth was crouched protectively with his warm hand on my back, around us were several other vampires, most notably, Bella and Garrett.

"Are you okay?" Bella asked before Seth or anyone else enven had the chance to. I considered my answer before nodding.

"Yeah, I'm okay now"

"Good to hear" she replied before ushering away the onlookers leaving me slumped beside a puked in plat pot with Seth still crouched beside me.

"You sure you're okay?" he asked me softly, his eyes full of concern.

"Yeah, I don't like the smell" I replied; my voice was soft.

"What smell?" he asked worriedly.

"Of the blood" I said, my nose wrinkled.

"You're scared of blood?" he asked with a grin though his eyes were still radiating concern and worry.

"Not so much scared... More on the lines of disgusted, repulsed maybe" I said with a sarcastic edge to my voice.

"Why? Nessie loves it" he said confusedly.

"Yeah, she loves it" I said putting emphasis on the 'she'. At his still obvious confusion I elaborated. "Humans all have different tastes, yeah? Things they like, things the don't like? Well so do hybrids, but I'm just the only one who hates the smell and idea of blood" I explained shyly, an uncharacteristic blush colouring my cheeks. Seth smiled at me reassuringly. "It's in my body, and it's meant to stay there! The thought of drinking it is akin to cannibilism in my book" I said with a grin.

"Okay, I see your point"
