Full Sum: There is a prophecy that claims that a child of a human and a cold one will posses so many powers that it will cause uproar with mythical creatures. Most of those creatures want one thing; power and they'll stop at nothing to get it. But the Cullen's are unaware of that prophecy and when a pregnant Renee shows up at their home, asking them to take her child, they agree.

Bella
I felt them before anyone else did.
As we moved through the forest, I knew that the others hybrids were watching us intently but they weren't sure if they should make a move or not.
"Stop," I said and my family came to a halt.
"What's wrong?"
"They're watching us," I told them as I looked around.
"Why can't we sense them?" Edward asked.
"Hybrids are masters at hiding themselves," Zafrina said. "It's an extra gift of theirs."
"Why won't they come out?"
"Better question is why are you looking for us?" A tall tanned skinned boy with black hair leaped from one of the trees and landed in front of us. "Who are they Zafrina?"
"Friends," Zafrina told them. "They just want to ask you some questions."
"Why? What kind of questions?" A curly haired blonde girl landed next to him, eyeing us warily.
"Is it that hard to guess, dear sister of mine?" Another boy, this one pale skinned and brown haired asked. "Looks like someone was naughty," he said, looking at me.
"Which one of you created her?" The tallest, possibly the oldest, of them all asked as two other boys appeared beside them.
"Aro," I told them.
"He finally did it," The blonde haired boy sighed. "He finally created her."
"We've been waiting for this day," The girl said. "But we hoped it would never come."
"So did we," Senna muttered.
"Come, it's not safe here," The tallest said, looking around. "Others in this area are very aware of the prophecy as well and it isn't wise to have her hanging around in the open."
"We have a place not too far ahead," The girl said. "Just follow us."
My family didn't look to sure about it but I didn't hesitate. I trusted them. I know I had only just met them but I could tell when something was wrong, or fishy, and I didn't feel anything like that coming from them.
When we got to the two-story cabin in the woods, I marveled at its beauty. I haven't seen many homes in my short lifetime but this was definitely number two on my list of best homes. The first one being my home back in Alaska and the third one is the house on Isle Esme.
"Wow, this is beautiful."
"Thank you," The girl said. "I built it myself."
"With the help of us," The youngest boy said with a roll of his eyes. "In fact, if I remember correctly, we built the whole thing. You just furnished the inside."
"That's what makes a home," she shrugged, sinking down on the large couch.
"Yeah, try having all this look great without walls and a roof," he muttered.
"They're always like this," A boy with black hair and blue eyes said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Hey, kid. I'm Logan."
"Bella," I said. "I guess I'm your half sister."
"It's nice to meet you," he said. "Even though you're gonna cause quite a stir."
"It's nice to meet you too."
"This is Amy, Spencer, Ethan, David, and that is guy right there is the closest we've had to a Dad, but you can call him Nahuel."
"It's nice to meet you all," I said. "This is my family. This is my mom, Esme, and My Dad, Carlisle. And these are my siblings Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rose, and that is my best friend Edward."
"Nice to meet you,"
"I'm guessing you have a ton of questions about hybrids, eh?" Logan asked as he sunk into the recliner.
"They only have a million or so," I teased.
Amy laughed, "Well, ask away. We'll answer them as best as we can."
"Where are your families?" Mom asked. "Or shall I say adopted families?"
"Dead," David answered.
"All of them?"
"Well, not mine," Amy sighed. "I ran away a couple years ago. It was for the best. My family had learned about the prophecy by a nomad and looked at me expectantly as if waiting for me to reveal that I had a million powers and was ready to take on the world. Nahuel here found me and took me in."
"What about your mothers? Birth mothers, I mean," Mom asked.
I knew she was concerned for them. After all, she had the biggest heart in the world and only wanted what was best for everyone.
"Hybrid boys are very strong, even while in the womb, and so we killed our mothers as we tore our way out."
My mouth fell open in shock.
"The girls go easier on their moms," Amy said. "I may have broken a rib or two with my mom but she was still kicking as she waltzed out of my life and back to Aro."
"What was your mother's name?" I asked, wondering if we had the same mom.
"Amelia," she said. "I'm named after her."
"What happened to her?" I asked.
"She found out that Aro had moved on and found himself another wife while she was away and she...she threw herself off a cliff."
I saw flames start to lick up her hand and my eyes widened. That would be an awesome power to have!
"Calm down, Amy," Logan said. "You're going to ruin another couch because you're such a hothead." He couldn't help but laugh at the end of that.
"Shut up," Amy growled as the flames went away.
"That is so cool!" I said. "I wish I could do that."
"It's kind of a nuisance," Amy said. "I'm still quite young and I haven't gotten a handle on my powers yet so I burst into flames when I'm mad, sad, just about any emotion, actually."
"But still," I said. "Who wants to try and kidnap or harm someone who's on fire? It's not a wise decision if you ask me."
"True," she said. "You're a smart cookie. How old are you?"
"Four months," I said. "I'll be five months in two weeks."
"She's right on track," Nahuel said. "I'm sure you have many questions about her growth, right?"
"A few," Dad said. "We would've come looking for you sooner but her alarming growth had kept us preoccupied for a while."
"It's normal for hybrids." Amy said. "We grow immensely the first year of our lives. By the time, Bella here is a year old, she'll look at least seven or eight, which isn't bad. For each hybrid it's different though."
"The one thing we do know, that has been concrete thus far, is that it only takes eight years until we're fully matured."
"And you don't die after that?"
"We're just as immortal as other vampire are," Spencer said.
"What about our skin?" I asked, remembering the incident with the bear. I had been so excited that I was able to go hunting that I didn't listen when Edward told me to stop. I lunged at the big black bear and it took a swipe at me.
All I remember was feeling intense pain as its claws slashed from my neck to my elbow but within seconds I was feeling better and my wounds were completely gone.
"It takes a year for it to harden, so to speak." Ethan said. "The human blood we consume during our first year of life is what makes us strong and what makes us embrace our vampire sides. After the first year, we can eat other things and drink other things but blood is vital during the first year."
"And what about powers?" Jasper asked. "When do those come in?"
"For boys, it ranges from five months to a year," Nahuel said. "But the girls usually inherit theirs from seven months to a year."
I sighed.
I was really looking forward to getting my powers because that meant that I could protect my family AND I could protect the humans. I didn't know what I'd do if my powers came in after the wars had started.
"When she gets her powers, you have to be careful," Nahuel continued. "She won't have much control over what happens and at her young age so much could go wrong. She could get mad and blow up the house, or the state."
I shivered.
I didn't want to do that.
"Even though no parent wants to have to tread lightly around their kid, it's best to do so for the first couple of months."
"Or years if she's anything like Amy," Spencer snorted.
Amy smacked him on the head and I couldn't help but giggle.
"See? Temper,"
"How'd you like to lose all your precious hair again?" Amy asked, her hand lighting up. "You looked so great with that big bald spot."
"Touch the hair, and I'll take off an arm," Spencer warned. "And I think we all know that isn't fun."
"Ignore them," Ethan said. "They're always like that. Let's just say it's a good thing we heal so quickly."
"Cassie's home," Logan said, glancing around nervously.
I sniffed the air and smelled a human.
"Who's Cassie?" I asked.
"Logan's mate," David said. "I'd keep your distance," he told my family. "Logan is still pretty tempered when it comes to her."
"I won't do anything, I swear," Logon promised. "As long as you don't try to eat my girlfriend, of course,"
"They're vegetarians," I told them.
"Huh?" Amy asked, confused.
"They don't eat people," I said. "Haven't you seen their eye color?"
"What do they eat?" Spencer asked, looking at their eyes.
"Animals," Dad said. "I refused to kill humans long ago and when I created my family, I taught them my ways."
"How do you manage?" Nahuel asked, astonished.
"It's not easy," Jasper said. "But with practice, it gets normal."
"Wow."
"My dad couldn't be a doctor if he wanted to suck their blood, now could he?" That just shocked them more.
"A doctor?" Ethan questioned. "How can you stand all that blood?
"Practice," Dad said, smiling. "Years and Years of practice finally descentized me to the smell of human blood."
"Coolest Vampire I've ever met," David said. "No competition."
I giggled, "I agree."
My dad beamed at me.
"Logan? Hellooo?"
"Living room," Logan called out.
A petite girl with long blonde hair and big hazel eyes entered the living room and smiled brightly when she saw us. She was clearly use to vampires coming in and out of this place.
"Hi! I'm Cassie,"
"I'm Bella," I told her.
"She's our half sister," Amy said.
"He did it again?" Cassie said with wide eyes. "And he succeeded. What does this mean for us?"
"It means a war is coming," Logan said, pulling her into his arms. "But I'll protect you. I swear,"
She sighed and placed her hand on his cheek, "I want you to worry about you, okay? You know how you can be. I don't want you getting yourself hurt."
I liked her already.
Just like I loved my half siblings already. I had only been with them less than two hours and I already felt attached to them all. It seemed like my list of people to protect was growing by the hour.
Not that I minded
"I won't, babe."
"I'll protect him," I said. "After all, I'm powerful." I frowned. "Well, I will be one day."
"Thank you." she said, kissing my cheek.
"How long do you plan to stay in Rio, if you don't mind me asking?" Nahuel wondered.
"A week at the most," Dad said.
"Just don't hang around in public too much, okay? The wrong person could see her."
"You mentioned that there were others in the area, do you know them?" Rose asked.
"My father," Nahuel sighed. "Is just as excited about the prophetic child being born as Aro seems to be. He's tried making a few of us, hoping one of us would be the child he wanted but he hasn't had any luck. So, he aquired Hector a while ago. Hector travels far and wide looking for the child."
"And he just so happens to be in the country at this time," Amy said. "So, she needs to stay hidden until you leave. I'm sorry but no sightseeing with her."
"That's fine," Edward said. "We weren't planning on doing that anyway. It was strictly business this time around."
"It's not all business," I said. "This is my first trip out of the state...No, the Country. I'm so excited to be here. I mean, I love my home but there is only so much of it I can take."
"I understand," Ethan said. "It gets boring being stuck in here but we have nothing better to do. We can't even wander underground because Amy would cause a stir."
"You know about the underground, too?"
"Everyone does,"
"We didn't," Emmett said. "At least not until a few hours ago,"
"Victoria," Amy sighed. "She gets to people. To be honest, it's a nifty power but I would never want to take anyone's memories away. Good or bad they make you who you are."
"It's magnificent down there, though," David said. "I've been down there a couple times and I never wanted to leave. There are a lot of nice people down there but there are also a lot of bad people down there who never fail to make sure people know it."
"Years of pent up anger is hard to keep under control," Nahuel said. "It's still irks them that they had to be the ones forced underground, not the humans. That's why if any of them were to get their hands on Bella, they could force their way back to the top."
"I'm afraid that will happen even without Bella," Senna said. "You think the wars will take place underground? Oh, no, no no. They'll fight up here."
"But all the humans..." I said, thinking of all the innocent people who could be hurt because of them.
"The way I see it, the humans will either be forced underground, like the supernatural's were, or they'll be forced into slavery. It could be a little of both."
"Not if I can help it," I said. "I'll force them back underground."
"If they strike before you get a handle on your powers, you won't be able to do much. You're powers will fail on you sometimes. It's frustrating until you know how to control it."
Well, darn.
"But that's where we come in," Nahuel said. "And the other supernatural's who have the same beliefs as we do. We'll fight to keep the peace, and to protect the humans."
"But if any of them get their hands on her during the battle," My mom grimaced. She didn't like to think of me in the middle of such a big war. "They could kill her."
"No, they actually can't," Logan said. "Now, this is the cool thing. The only person who can kill us is our father. It doesn't matter what anyone else does to us, we will always piece ourselves back together."
"You could literally tear me to shreds and light me on fire and I'll return to my normal state. It'll take a few days though. It's not like we're back to normal with the snap of our fingers, especially if we get burned. It'll take us a while to piece the ashes together."
"That is so cool," I said. "Even though it kind of sounds painful."
"It's not," Amy said. "We don't feel a thing. Well, not after the first year or so."
I let out a breath. That was good. I didn't want to have to feel pain every time someone ripped me apart and I had a feeling there would be a lot of that in the coming years.
We stayed at my sibling's house all night long. My dad and Edward were listening intently to everything that Nahuel explained about hybrids while the rest of my siblings were chatting with my half siblings.
I stayed up for as long as I could but eventually my eyes started to flutter closed and I fell asleep on Cassie's lap.
Please, Review :D
