Disclaimer: I'm just playing with SM's toys, she'll get them back when I'm finished.

AN: So, as you are aware, this story is off hiatus and I rewrote Ch. 7. I had originally thought it would be shocking and funny to have Billy be Eddie's mate but it presented more problems than I'd imagined. That was part of the reason for my writer's block.

Ch. 8: Pixie Dust and Jedi Mind Tricks

BPOV

I wasn't a happy Cookie Monster; I wasn't a happy Cookie Monster at all. Two days after that rather embarrassing moment after all of us "kids" had come back from the movies, I hadn't seen my Cookie for four months. FOUR MONTHS! Four months of no kissing, no cuddling, no whispering loving words into each other's ears or smelling her scrumptious scent. FOUR MONTHS OF NO SEX! While there was more to our relationship than just sex, I had gotten use to good lovin' at least three times a day. I had needs after all. I wore out twelve vibrators just during the first week she was gone. The next vibe was never able to get me off and manual stimulation stopped working the following morning. My body was wound up so tight it felt like it'd snap at any second.

Kate had been working as a lawyer when we first came to Denali and was going to continue to do so until we moved. My mate was going to come with us to our new home and go to high school with me. The firm she worked for had a big case that was being argued in Juno, so she had to go there for the duration of the trial. I was very proud of my Cookie and I planned to be a very supportive mate but we hadn't been together that long, the separation was hard to endure. Even without the sex, it was as if a large part of my being was missing.

At first, everyone had been extremely understanding of my physical and emotional state. They went out of their way not to get intimate when I was in the house. My parents were still doing that. Twice a week, they rented a hotel room and had "Mommy and Daddy" fun. Thanks to my gift, I knew all about it by the time they got back but I prepared myself for those moments. The fact that I still felt I owed Mom big time for being such a burden actually helped. My brothers and sisters were another story entirely. Where Alice and Rose try to be sympathetic, they get easily distracted by their mates then all bets are off. In fact, Emmett and Rose have gotten worse.

The two of them were currently going at it, rather loudly, in their room. Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap in one of the love seats. Lust from the bunnies upstairs must've gotten to the empathy because he started to project it around the room. My pixie sister took the brunt of it but the wave that hit me nearly make me double over with need. The mental shield that kept me sane had been weakening since Kate's absence and it finally collapsed under the strain of the subconscious desires of my family members.

"PIXIE DUST," I screamed at the top of lungs and nobody was able to deny the pain it was laced with. Alice stopped dry humping Jasper as I curled up into a fetal position on the floor. Before I shut my eyes tight, I noticed Jazz was still highly aroused.

Images overlapped as I was pulled into the fantasies. The last thing I heard before I was completely lost was Emmett shouting how I had Jedi Mind Tricked him and Jasper's shocked gasp. I vaguely felt something tap between my eyes and I found myself in the middle of a maelstrom. Time had no meaning as I calmed the mental sea and rebuilt my shield. I was physically aware that I was in somebody's arms but that was it. After what seemed like days, I completed the task then came back to consciousness because my throat was on fire.

Because of the collapse of my shield, all of my senses were still on overload when my eyes fluttered open. It took a minute before I realized that I was being rocked in my mother's arms while she whispered, "Come back, baby. Come back."

I felt weak as a newborn kitten as I shifted in her embrace then nuzzled into the crook of her neck. Mom ceased rocking and just held me; no matter how I get, I'll always need her comfort.

"Mommy, it hurts so much," I started as she stroked my hair.

"I know, sweetheart, we tend to forget that you are still a Newborn. Normally, a vampire is much older when they find their Soul Mate and can handle the intense feelings that result. Being so young still to this live makes those feelings much more intense then add your gift on top of that and it was only a matter of time before a meltdown happened. Your brothers and sisters need to be more aware of your emotional state, especially after what happened the last time you all went to the mall. They also know I do not like you hunting alone. Do you need anything, little one," Mom soothed but I groaned when she mentioned the mall trip. It wasn't my fault that some jackass touched me without permission and it set off a chain reaction. Her question at the end brought the fire in my throat back to the forefront of my attention.

"Can I have a moose blood-pop, please," I enquired in a small voice. The older vampire got up and flashed into the kitchen to comply with my request then started muttering Emmett's name under her breath. When she came back empty handed, I knew my moronic brother had eaten them all but I was too weak to get fuming mad like I normally would've. Her cell phone went off and from the ringtone, it was Alice. My pixie sister said something then hung up.

"It seems that your siblings are bringing back an elk for you," she explained then drew my attention to the room around me and asked, "Why does my house look like a warzone?"

I was going to feign innocence but while I tried to come up with a convincing lie, she gave me the glower she reserved for my brothers, put her hands on her hips, tapped one foot then demanded, "ISABELLA MARIE CULLEN, DO NOT EVEN TRY TO LIE TO ME. I WANT THE TRUTH AND I WANT IT NOW!"

Like the good little girl that I was, I bowed my head in contrition then explained everything that about that night we'd gone to the movies and the compulsion I'd put on my brothers for being asses. What I had forgotten, until after the words left my mouth, was that I never told anyone outside of Rose and Alice that I knew about my history with Edward, albeit a third-person account but still. It wasn't just her expression that told me I was in a lot of trouble for that little piece of omission; she was subconsciously imagining giving me a spanking. My own expression must've been sincerely apologetic because hers softened.

"I'm sorry that I never told you or Dad but I didn't think it was important. Edward had run off and I didn't want to add anything else for you to worry about. From what I saw, the relationship wasn't health and I'm grateful that I don't remember it, just like I told the girls. Please don't be mad, please, I'm sorry," I begged in a near panic that I upset the woman that sacrificed so much to bring me fully into my family.

Mom had me in her arms and was rubbing soothing circles on my back before the last sorry left my lips. When I was calm enough, she pulled back to look me in the eyes then said, "As far as punishments go, I admire your creativity but that was not for you to do. Your father and I will handle any discipline that needs to be done. That being said, I will allow the conditioning to stick but when the others get home we are going to change the trigger word. In fact, you have inspired me and I have the perfect punishments for your sisters when they act up. After your siblings are "programmed", I shall put you into a deep trance and I will make you forget the new trigger words and implant an appropriate suggestion for your future punishments. When all of that is finished, you will not do any more behavior modification on any of your siblings, understood?"

"Yes, ma'am," I responded not wanting to upset her any more.

Five minutes later, my rather upset looking brothers and sisters showed up schlepping an elk carcass. Alice had probably seen my conversation with Mom and told them but from the frustrated looks on my sisters' faces, Esme hadn't made up her mind about their punishments. She helped me outside and I fell on the dead animal like a rabid hyena. I joined everyone back inside the house after I sucked down every last drop of blood.

Emmett, Jasper, Rose and Alice looked at me nervously while they fidgeted in their seats. Mom simply nodded at me to start whenever I was ready. My eyes closed and I took some deep breaths to center myself. When my eyes snapped open, all four vampires were snared in my power. Mom moved back and forth in front of them and weaved the compulsions to suit her. Everything went black and I lost track of time, it was well past nightfall when I opened my eyes. My siblings and I stared at each other blankly while our mother looked like the cat that ate the canary. The front door opened and the scent hit me before I even turned in its direction; my Cookie was home!

I flashed into her arms and we shared a kiss that was so passionate that it should've turned us to ashes. Everyone else was forgotten as I grabbed her hand and was about to race upstairs with her but Fate had chosen that moment to pussy block me yet again. A strange car was pulling up our driveway and we froze in place. Edward burst through the door thirty seconds later with a screaming Eric Yorkie in his arms and our family went into crisis mode. Me and Kate shared a look, sighed then went to see how we could help.

AN2: Next chapter will be Eric's reaction to being a vampire. More fun and awkwardness to come.
