Chapter Twenty-Five: Training with Marie

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga; I'm just screwing with the characters. Have fun with whatever happens and characters I make up.

AN: I hope everyone liked the last chapter and I got to say a big thank you to Victoria Cullen 30 who has left me very encouraging reviews every chapter. Also big thanks to my sister for helping with the new POV being used. Thank you guys for everything, I'm aiming to see if I can beat a friend of mine with reviews on stories. He's new on fan fiction and wrote a crossover. It was a hit within the first chapter and it blew my mind. If you like Naruto and Justice League, let me know...I'll tell you who he is. Here's the next chapter, please read and review.

Lynda's POV

I looked at my cousin Aleya, or as everyone call her A.

"Are you sure we should do this? I mean last time it didn't turn out well for either of us."

"Of course I do, now just kick me!" she replied laughing.

"Fine but if I get burnt it's your fault." I laughed back.

Slowly I backed away from her and I kicked out to strike but then a flash of light blinded me, and I flew forwards with my eyes shut before I felt myself land on something...or someone, to be more precise. I opened my eyes to see who it was but I had to wait for my eyes to clear before I quickly jumped up and seeing the one person I never expected to see in my years. I could feel tears start to fall. He was supposed to be dead! Even Aunt Marie said he had died ...but if that was true, who is the man that looked like my old friend, Carlisle Cullen. My eyes wondered around the group that was gathered. I saw Aleya standing a few feet away, we exchanged glances then both looked over and saw our aunt.

"Aunt Marie!" I wanted to scream at her for lying to me but felt Aleya's calming light wash over me.

"Why did you call us here?" Aleya finished for me.

Everyone had their eyes on us. I realized suddenly that most of the people here were either vampire or wolf. My eyes shifted from person to person as I identified each of them.

"I didn't" Aunt Marie commented.

"Then who would have been stupid enough to say Aleya name?" I asked afraid of the answer.

Marie's POV

I can't believe Emmett has done this to Aleya, maybe to Lynda. Those two have always bickered and bantered with each other but Aleya has always been like another little sister to him. We discovered Aleya's power when she was thirteen years old and just starting to practice magic. It was sad when Emmett disappeared because she was close to him and she was upset when she lost her big cousin, Emmy. She was only six at the time and didn't understand what had happened. Now he was dragging her into this battle. When I looked over at Emmett he had his hands over his face and he appeared so ashamed about what he just did.

"I didn't mean to bring A into this, I wouldn't bring her into harm's way purposely though she does that on her own mostly," he commented.

Rosalie comforted him though she seemed confused on who we were talking about. I calmed down and comforted Emmett right as a light with orbs of blue and yellow appeared before us. In it appeared two silhouettes of female figures; one much short than the other. I could see which one was Lynda by the darkness of her silhouette.

Lynda's form was thrown from the light and she flailed as she flew back until she landed somewhere within the Cullen group. I rushed over to check on her and when I found her, I saw that the force she was flung at had caused her to knock over the vampire she landed on, who was Carlisle. She was face to face, on top of him, and was in shock. Her face was white as the vampires' like she was seeing a ghost; in her case she probably was. She then jumped up quickly and looked angrily over at me.

I completely understand why she was angry with me. I had lied to her about her best friend being dead even though I had proof of it. I could see Aleya trying to calm her down by being near her and Jasper was trying to help also.

"Aunt Marie!" Lynda screamed at me, looking from me to Carlisle, with hurt in her eyes.

But Aleya continued talking for her, "Why did you call us here?"

Carlisle seemed startled and curious by Lynda's voice for some reason but I know why. Edward looked at him worried but Carlisle waved him off. I had a smirk on my face as the two girls approached us.

"I didn't," I answered her.

"Then who would have been stupid enough to say Aleya's name?" Lynda asked a little scared of the answer.

Darien, Vera, Henry, and I looked at Emmett who looked to Aleya ashamed. Aleya gazed over to where we were looking and saw Emmett. She smiled so excitedly and ran to him throwing her arms around his waist. She was so much smaller than him; she still looked like she could be curled up like a small child in his arms. Aleya looked like she could be Alice's twin except for the eyes which were blue like her mom's, the curl of her hair, and the blush she carries.

"Emmy, I missed you so much. I thought you were actually gone," Aleya cried into his stomach.

"It's alright, Aleya. I'm fine and I'm sorry I said your name…I brought you into the shit happening here," Emmett apologized to her with venomous tears in his eyes.

"Next time I'm traveling by myself. I'm tired of getting nearly blinded," Lynda shouted at Aleya making both Emmett and Aleya laugh. "Now let's break this before you two start kissing."

They looked at each other and Emmett let her go as they began making puking sounds.

"That is so gross, Lynda," Emmett grunted at her.

"I wasn't sure if in some parts of the nation if they still did that," Lynda commented sounding innocent.

I snickered at her little antics with Emmett. They haven't seen each other in over seven decades. They had some harassment to make up with each other. Lynda would get on my nerves trying to find a way to visit him. Lynda finally turned toward our group and saw everyone. Her eyes trailed over everyone and stopped on me next to Bella and Embry and Edward. She smiled and ran to me, throwing her arms around me for a hug. She stepped away and turned toward Bella to pull her into a hug. Aleya was the next to give Bella and me hugs. That's when Aleya looked over my shoulder, while I held her off the ground, and I heard a gasp come from between her lips.

A sand colored wolf that I recognized as Seth stepped away from the group and came near us. Aleya slipped out of my arms and walked towards Seth like she was in a trance. When she touched his muzzle, he nudged it closer into her palm. I gazed over at Leah and saw that she had a wolfish grin on her face. I couldn't help but smile at them. That's when Seth stepped closer to Aleya and licked her face with his massive tongue.

"Come on, man that is my younger cousin you are defiling with your saliva!" Emmett growled at Seth, becoming protective of Aleya.

Aleya and I both turned on Emmett and glared at him. I thought his mother and I taught him better than that but apparently not.

"Emmett Patrick McCarty Cullen! I believe your mother and I have both taught you about the sacred bond between custos amators," I yelled at him with my hands on my hips.

He bowed his head in shame and gazed at the ground as me, Darien, Vera, and Aleya glared at him. He might not be able to feel the effects of the custos amator but he should still respect it.

"Emmett, I think I'm old enough to make my own decisions and mistakes. I've been doing it for the past six decades," Aleya smiled at him.

Emmett's usually smiling face, fell into a sadden mask of depression. Rosalie grabbed a hold of his hand in hers and gazed up at him unsure of what to do.

"I've missed so much," Emmett stated in a depressed voice as his eyes glistened with venomous tears that wouldn't fall.

It was unusual to see my happy, go lucky, nephew cry. It wasn't in his nature. He was the one to cheer you up when you were crying and make you laugh when you were upset. He was the one to defend you when you were hurt but when he was the one upset, no one knew what to do.

Aleya let go of Seth's muzzle and ran to Emmett and hugged him around the waist. She tried to comfort him the best she could and knew how to. She was the only one that really could anyways, possibly besides Rosalie.

"Oh, Emmy, I didn't mean to upset you. It's not yours or anyone's fault that you missed anything. All that matters is that you're here now," Aleya smiled at him and using her nickname for him seem to help make him smile.

"No one needs to see that big lug cry anyways. It was never pretty," Lynda added with a smirk.

"I could say the same for you but you'd have to be pretty in the first place," Emmett told her with a grin as he hugged Aleya and handed her over to Seth who had gone and phased. Lynda pouted at him, crossing her arms and huffed at him. Emmett turned toward Seth and apologized to him, "Sorry about being the over protective cousin on you earlier, she has no brothers so I kind of filled that role for her."

"Aw, it's no problem, man. I understand," Seth said putting his hand out to Emmett for him to shake.

Emmett took it hesitantly but when I smiled at him, he shook Seth's hand and Aleya wrapped her arms around Seth's waist. Jasper stepped forward and gained everyone's attention again.

"Now that unexpected surprises and drama is out of the way, why don't we get down to business?" Jasper announced to everyone.

Lynda raised her hand and made an innocent face and Jasper looked at her to answer her. I gave her a stern look before she could say anything but she just smirked at me.

"I didn't know you could fight, Jasper," Lynda commented with a smirk.

Jasper just shook his head as Lynda began to laugh and I walked over to her. "Lynda, this isn't a time to joke around and play. This is serious. There is a hoard of newborns coming to attack us and they need to be prepared to fight them," I told her sternly.

"Since you want to joke around and play, Lynda, maybe you and Emmett would like to be my first examples," Jasper told her as Emmett began to bounce in place.

I shook my head at my eldest nephew as he stepped up to Jasper and crouched down to charge at Jasper. The family, pack, and I watched as the two fought and I became more and more disappointed by the minute at Emmett's performance. I had taught my nephew how to fight all kinds of creatures and he can't even take Jasper on as his equal. I observed their fight and watched Emmett to see what he was doing wrong. That's when I realized he wasn't doing anything I had taught him. He was fighting like a newborn and it angered me now. I could hear Lynda laughing as Jasper finally planted Emmett on his butt. Jasper turned toward everyone and began explaining what had gone wrong and what they shouldn't do when fighting. Finally he began to take everyone on individually and was taking any volunteers.

"Lynda, dear, why don't you show Emmett how it's done since you think you know everything about fighting," I offered sweetly and mischievously.

Lynda got a smirk on her face and cracked her knuckles as she strode up to Jasper. He crouched down prepared to tackle her while she still stood tall and only waved her hand at him signaling him to bring it. He lunged at her. After that Lynda began to lead the fight and stayed ahead of Jasper, using what she could to distract him. That is until she got cocky. That's her major downfall during a fight and when that happens, anyone could beat her. And I had high hopes she could redeem my hopes in my teachings. My head dropped and I shook it as Embry came up to me and nudged my arm. I petted his head letting him know I was alright.

Finally when Jasper laid Lynda out on her back and Emmett, Aleya, and Henry burst into a peal of laughter. Lynda grunted as she tried to move and throw Jasper but she was stuck now with his teeth at her arm and foot in her chest. Lynda huffed as she was lifted off the ground by Jasper and scowled as she walked back to stand next to me.

"Can't let pride and cockiness cloud your judgment and ability to fight," Jasper told us. "Who's next?"

I stepped up, to Embry's horror, and crouched in a vampire's defensive crouch. Jasper gazed at me amazed before preparing to fight. I didn't focus on what everyone was saying or how they reacted; I just prepared to strike when Jasper attacked. As soon as he lunged at me, I heard a growl and saw a blur of gray mass.

AN: Major cliffy…I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Please leave a review telling me what you think about it. Until next time.
