Chapter 34: Visitors

Day 54

The Cullen house was abuzz with plan making, they were planning their escape from this town and the two people Rian had felt betrayed her the most. Rian tried not to think of them over the past month, but it was hard when her father had finally disconnected her phone and before that, it was being blown up by the texts from the traitor.

Rian found it hard to let go of her anger towards them, it was easy to forget about them and pretend the outside world doesn't exist when she spent all her time inside the house and always around supernatural creatures.

As Renesmee and Rian waited for Esme and Alice to finish cooking dinner, they sat on the couch playing one of Renesmee's favorite card games: Uno. Rian was benched from cooking her own food since she had been placed on bedrest by Carlisle. She felt useless sitting around all the time, but it couldn't be helped.

Renesmee, laughing as she put down her card, practically bounced in her spot on the couch as she screamed out, "Uno!"

Rian gave a fake frustrated growl at the little girl as she pulled four cards from the pile. The girl looked at her full hand of cards, there was no way she would win against Renesmee now, not that she had tried too hard to win anyway. "What color?"

"Green!" Renesmee screamed excitedly.

Rian looked through her cards for a green, she had to have a green in the nine cards she held in her hand. She knew the rules people usually played by stated that drawing four cards was your full turn, that you couldn't place a card down after drawing that many cards, at least that was the rules she usually played by with her siblings; but seeing as she was playing against the young girl she didn't mention the rule to the girl.

Rian had three green cards, numbers 4 and 7 and a skip card. She smiled mischievously as she placed the skip card down, it was kind of a terrible move to play against the small child who was about to win. But Rian knew the girl would win regardless.

Renesmee let out a rather loud screeching laugh hybrid.

Rian laughing hard, placed the green 4 card down on top and allowed Renesmee to win that had. But right before Renesmee could place her last card down the front door opened and a strange voice said, "I know that laughter anywhere!"

Renesmee bolted out of her seat quicker than Rian could blink and the small child was across the room in half a heartbeat. The little girl jumped up into a man's arms, someone Rian had never seen before. He was tall and almost as muscular as Emmett. His complexion screamed of Native American decent, that coupled with the dark brown eyes told Rian he was not a vampire. She found herself wondering why someone who was obviously not a vampire would just walk inside a vampire's home as if he owned it. But everyone seemed comfortable with his sudden appearance and the little girl's joy was proof enough that she could relax around him a little.

"Jacob!"

"Nessie!"

Rian wanted to get up and escape the awkward situation she found herself in. Alice and Esme were still in the kitchen, Emmett and Jasper were outside somewhere, and Bella and Edward were in their room.

The man whispered something to the girl to which she laughed at him. Again Rian felt extremely awkward, she wasn't sure if someone would come shot her down if she attempted to get up and leave the room or if someone would come to her rescue. Then she remembered Edward's stupid ability and mental cursed at him for not coming to save her.

"Make up your mind, either you care I read your mind or not." Edward said as he walked into the room behind the stranger. "Rian, Jacob. Jacob, Rian."

"So you have let another human find out about vampires, you suck at keeping secrets." Jacob jabbed at Edward.

"What?!" Rian sat up in her seat as high as she couldn't without really moving, her stomach was still covered, pathetically, by a blanket. "Vampires?"

The look on Jacob's face was priceless. Apparently she had been convincing enough to make Jacob think that he had given away the secret, even though just moments before Edward was referring to his powers. Both Rian and Edward laughed, as well as some others she hadn't known came into the room.

Emmett sat down beside Rian and handed her her usual cup while Edward composed himself enough to talk to Jacob, but by then he knew Rian had been pulling his strings. "No, she already knew about vampires somehow."

"What?" Jacob seemed confused, and Rian not really wanting to explain her history to the stranger just shrugged as she took a drink of her pre-dinner dinner.

It wasn't long after Jacob, Edward, and Emmett arrived that dinner was finished. By then Jacob and Emmett were wrestling around outside, and as soon as Esme got the words out of her mouth, Jacob grabbed Renesmee and ran inside to the kitchen. Rian had gathered from how Emmett and the stranger punched and kicked at each other that the stranger, while not vampire, was definitely was something supernatural. So she had begun to contemplate what he could be. Every now and then, when she thought of something completely ridiculous, Edward would laugh. So far, she had thought of witch, shapeshifter, ghost, and several different monsters that had made an appearance on Supernatural.

The sun was beginning to set when Rian was finishing her dinner. The Cullen kitchen had been full of laughter and chatter the whole time the three food eating creatures eat their dinner. After dinner, Renesmee was begging to go hunting with Jacob so the Cullen's decided to have a spur of the moment hunting trip. Once again Rian found herself left in the care of Esme and Alice, Emmett while needing to hunt did not want to leave her by herself.

Wanting to watch the sun set, Alice grabbed Rian a blanket and helped the girl outside to the porch. The girls sat on the swing talking about names once again. "Rialy?" Alice suggested.

"I like Keegan better."

Alice and Rian continued talking about baby names and baby things until the sun almost completely down for the night, then headlights shown in their faces. "You expecting anyone else?" Rian asked even as she thought of the fact that most of their friends were supernatural creatures that might not use cars.

"No," was her simple answer.

Alice stood up as the car came to a halt and the engine died. The door opened to reveal someone Rian couldn't see since it was so dark outside now. But Alice seemed to relax, as she recognize who was now walking towards the house. "Hello." Alice said simply in her cheerful manor.

Rian relaxed when she saw how relaxed Alice was, if Alice was this comfortable with the new visitor, then Rian wasn't in any danger.

"I need to talk to Rian." Rian's blood ran cold, oh, how wrong can she be? She recognized that voice, and her first thought was to hide her incredibly large stomach. She was in trouble now.

Yes, Rian was in trouble if they couldn't get Winter to leave before she saw how much Rian had grown over the past couple of months. Winter would ask all the questions Rian couldn't answer.

"I was just about to take her inside, it's getting late and she is supposed to be on bedrest." Alice tried to make an excuse.

"I need to apologize to her please. I," the girl stopped trying to figure out how to put her thoughts or feelings into words. "It won't take long. Please Rian let me explain."

She didn't have enough time to explain. What happened next was faster than Rian and Winter both could see let alone comprehend.

One minute Winter was standing by herself pleading with Rian and the next, a vampire flashed to her side. His hand wrapped around her neck.
