*Sigh* Twili no Mine, just voices in my head mine *end sigh*
(( I'm gonna attempt to explain the relationship between Pedo and Kitten though her name is Deja now ))
Pedo had followed the young man into the house with the glass walls he sat and listened to the doctors explanation of Deja's injuries and healing.
" Now that we have brought you up to date, we would appreciate it if you would also explain things to us."
Pedo nodded his head in agreement of Charlisle's request, he walked over picking Deja up from the arms that reluctantly let her go. He sat with her looking like a tiny child in his huge arms, he was silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts for the tale ahead.
" None of us know her actual name, we call her Deja because meeting her for all of us who are sworn to her feels like Deja Vu."
He knew there would be questions and so he was not surprised when the doctor's wife, Esme was what he remembers her being introduced as, asked the question.
" You have called her chosen and now call yourself sworn what does that mean?"
The woman had a very caring voice, and it was a question he expected, he looks down at the still sleeping Deja with adoring eyes.
" She is our everything, we who have sworn ourselves to her. The sworn can be anything from a mere human, to a shifter like myself, to a human with something extra, and yes even one of your kind. The history and reasons behind the chosen and sworn are lost, no one really knows what we are or how we came to be. She makes us whole those who are her sworn, we would do anything for her, give anything to see her safe, it's like our souls are wrapped tightly around hers protecting it."
His eyes turn hard for a moment with his next thoughts, not everything sunlight and roses in their world.
" As you know I am a shifter my form is the bear, I met Deja while she, her friend, and her only two sworn at the time were visiting the reservation. My people are the Osage, and her friend was of our blood, there had been stories in my tribe of the bearwalkers. Such things were only legend, just stories or so it was believed. There was an accident, I to this day still cannot remember the details, the first change is always too full of confusion. She was in danger I could sense it even though she did her best to avoid me while they visited it was not enough. I shifted as we all ran to the scene, there had been a collapse in one of the caves, they were stuck inside. I tore through the rock and made a path so that they could get out, and when it was over the two men that were always with her did something strange. The knelt before her and gave a strange oath, to the horror of my people I was also kneeling, speaking the words without knowing it. Her pull was so strong for me that I bound myself to her without even knowing what I was doing what it meant, she has that effect on sworn her pull is stronger than any other chosen."
He blinked shaking his head to dispel the memory of that horrible time, digging at the rock with his claws, bracing his back against the ceiling to prevent another cave in. He is interrupted from his memories by the tall blond haired man, this one is dangerous he makes the hairs on the back of Pedo's neck stand up.
" How is she stronger, I know that she has no scent and she can somehow block out those of us with abilities. Do you know how she does this, and you said other chosen how many are there?"
Pedo hid a smile, this one thinks like Zev does, did, it will take him and the others some time to get over the loss of Zev. He pushed his grief aside and concentrated on answering the questions.
" Chosen as far as we can tell are not exactly human, they can be born of human parents but there is something that makes them different. I'm actually surprised that none of you have noticed the other things."
He stands and carried Deja directly into the center of the room and set her on the floor under an overhead light. He backed away and looked at the others, the answer is quite obvious to him who knows what to look for.
" Now look at her and tell me what you see, whats different, what's there whats missing?"
The others are all quiet studying the sleeping girl, she is curled in on herself packed into a tight little bundle. The answer came from the youngest member of the group from where she sat snuggled against the wolven shifter.
" She doesn't have a shadow, none at all, how is that possible?"
Pedo smiled at the girl, Nessie was her name if he remembered correctly, she was a halfbreed child of Edward and Bella.
" You are very correct the chosen have no shadow, there is no answer as to how or why this is possible. There are other differences, she can cause herself to heal faster than normal though this will make her sleep more from the strain. As you also mentioned she can seemingly block out your abilities, the reason behind that is that she is like a mirror in a way though that is not a proper explanation. Thats why so many sworn are pulled to her, she can reflect or deflect abilities and she can also amplify them. One of her other sworn was able to cause plants to grow, when she was first around him this ability woke within him and we were nearly strangled in foliage. Anyway back to your questions, there are as far as we know only seven chosen alive at this time. The numbers are getting smaller because they are being hunted by one of their own kind. I think that this is what led to her being injured and hiding out here, this particular chosen wants her alive for her abilities. She was vulnerable with only Zev by her side, they had killed Nathan her other sworn that was there when I met her. Those two were like the foundation she stood on, thats most likely the reason for her mind shutting down like it did. She will come back in time to what she used to be once I can get a hold of the others we will go, it's not right to involve you in our problems. We had been searching for one of the other chosen she is convinced he is still alive, well it wasn't very clear but he seems to be one of your kind. There is an interference with her connection to him, she can only tell that he is in Europe."
He had spoken so much trying to explain the situation, these people were probably more confused than when he started. Standing he walked over and lifted Deja into his arms again, her closeness after so long a separation soothes him. He sat once more looking around waiting for the inevitable questions.
(( ok then if you have questions you want them to ask just put it in a review and I'll work it in when i do the next chapter sometime tomorrow.))
