Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1.
Note: Yes there is more. I've left several things open; such as her father, what happened to winter, and the bad guy got away. I don't really have an ending in mind, I plan to just keep writing until I get either bored with it or I figure out how to end it. I have another story that I have forming in my head I might want to try to write sometime too, but I will have to finish this one first otherwise I will end up forgetting about this one while I get inspired on the other.
Chapter 38: Not Your Usual Vampire
Emmett
Three hours pasts and Rian still didn't wake up. Carlisle and Edward came to check on her. Carlisle was dumbfounded as to why she hadn't woken up yet. No one he has ever turn, had stayed in a sort of unconscious state as long as she had. Yes, Bella seemed to be unconscious the whole time she was changing, but she got up shortly after her heart stopped.
Edward on the other hand said that he could read her mind somewhat, it didn't make much since to him, almost as if her brain was still rewiring itself. But this gave Emmett enough hope, he relaxed a little and waited for her to 'wake up' so to speak.
He ended up waiting the whole day for Rian to finally open her eyes. When she did; the world looked new, yet familiar all at the same time. The colors of the room were brighter, even in the darkness that was surrounding her. She could see the worry he was trying to hide in his features. She smiled at him as she sat up on the table she was still laying on after her transformation.
Someone must have changed her clothes sometime while she was going through the transformation, she was now wearing one of the many dresses she and Alice had bought on their shopping trip a few weeks ago. Rian slid off the table slowly as Emmett stood up from his chair. "How are you feeling?" The man asked, and Rian could hear his deep voice in a much richer tone that she had before. She liked it.
"I feel," she paused thinking of what to tell him exactly. "…good." She finished, she didn't want to tell him everything she remembered yet, but she did feel ten times better now that she understood her past a little better. She reached out for his hand, there was so many things she wanted to ask him to talk to him about. But the most important thing to her at the moment was, "Are the babies okay?"
He let out a laugh, "Yes, they are growing like weeds, just as expected."
With all the questions she wanted to ask about the twins, she wanted to see them more, to hold them and kiss them. But she knew she couldn't do that until she had satisfied her thirst first.
"I'm hungry." She said simply as she walked towards the door with his hand firmly grasped in hers.
Since she had woken up, she had felt this odd combination of newborn sensations and a strange familiarity with it all. It was like she had this incredible strength and speed for the first time but she had the control over it that comes with only an experienced vampire (although she hadn't been a vampire for more than three years before she still had enough experience with it to rely on it now).
So she had been very careful not to use too much of her new strength. Yes, he was very strong, but she wasn't sure who was stronger at the moment. And she did not want to test it out at the moment. Her only thoughts were feeding so she could see her children.
Once outside, she stretched and jumped in place. She knew she didn't have to anymore, but spending well over five centuries (give or take a few centuries) as a human and only three as a vampire so far, she was still used to doing things the human way.
Emmett looked at her like she was crazy, and judging by the large smile on her face, she sure looked the park.
Just as she predicted, he asked her, "What are you doing?"
"Beating you." She said all too excited before she sped off into the forest.
"The hell you are!" He screamed after her as he too ran into the woods after her.
She remembered hunting, in the stone ages (okay, not really that long ago) when she was hunting for blood last. But then, she had been hunting differently; she had been hunting for human blood. She didn't know of another way to live, and she really didn't care who she hurt after her love had been murdered. It was a really dark time for her then.
Point is, she knew how to hunt, and she wanting to show off, wanting to impress Emmett.
She became so distracted with comparing the smell of human blood to the animal blood that was now attacking her nose that she hadn't noticed Emmett had finally caught up to her. He flashed her his cocky smile that screamed 'Told you so.'
The urge to wipe that smirk right off his face was to overwhelming, she dropped to the ground and swiped his feet out from under him. She used the extra strength she got from being a newborn vampire to push herself back up and forward faster as she ran. She pulled ahead of him as he recomposed himself from the shock at her actions.
She laughed, for the time being she had won. But Emmett was very competitive, she knew he would not let this go.
So she decided to focus on her meal, at least that way she could hold her children sooner. Since nothing really smell very appetizing to her, she decided to just try something close and large enough to satisfy her thirst for a while. The animal happened to be a mountain lion.
She didn't wait for Emmett to give her pointers, she jumped onto the animals back and bite into its flesh before the predator could understand it had just became the prey. She held the animal in place to make her meal less messy and drank until the last drop. It wasn't as bad as she had anticipated, of course it wasn't nearly as good as she remembered human blood being. It was much like drinking human blood while she was still human, just kind of an odd sensation, like it wasn't quite right.
Rian dropped the animal and licked the little bit of blood left off her lips as Emmett looked at her in awe almost. "Wow, never seeing a baby vampire not make a giant mess on her first hunt." He joked.
Rian smiled at the compliment, she had succeeded in impressing the man. "I'm not your usual vampire."
