Chapter 2: New Vampires?

Evan, Mike, Sabrina, Annie, and Didyme watched the scene secretly as Irina approached her sisters. Edward turned toward the tree where the new ones were hiding, according to Alice's vision. He didn't understand why, but he couldn't read anyone's mind at that moment. The wind changed direction, carrying their scent to the Cullens and Denali. Edward began to run toward them.

"Edward," Bella called.

"I'm going with him," Emmett said.

The new ones jumped from branch to branch. They were fast and agile, much more than they. Finally they stopped near a cliff. Edward and Emmett they arrived a quarter of an hour later.

"So marshmallow you are reality a vampire," Emmett scoffed your.

"How long have you been one vampire Mike," Edward asked firmly.

"Much longer than you," Mike replied, smiling.

At that moment, some sun rays peeked out from behind the cloud cover.

The skin of the vegetarian vampires glowed, but not that of the new ones.

Edward and Emmett watched them with curiosity and apprehension. It was then that Edward noticed their eyes. They were not red, or even gold… their irises were human. Except for Mike's. The color was a beautiful crimson red and they were slightly dilated.

Emmett prepared to charge, but stopped when a young woman approached. Edward knew her. It was Sabrina, a nurse who worked with his father. The boy was the only one, aside from the doctor and his wife, who knew the girl.

"Sabrina!", Edward said in amazement, "What are you all really? Why doesn't your skin glow when it comes into contact with the sun's rays, why do your irises look so human? I know for a fact that you don't wear contact lenses… and you're not even hybrids, you smell different".

Sabrina didn't say anything, she looked at the boy and suddenly the color of her eyes changed. It became gold, and her irises widened a little.

"Edward and Emmett go back to your loved family ones and forget," the girl whispered.

Edward and Emmett went back. Bella ran to them.

"Did you find them?" she said worriedly.

"Found? Who?" they answered in chorus.

"Edward, Emmett what's wrong with you," the girl asked worriedly.

"Honey, are you okay?" Edward caressed Bella's cheek.

Emmett looked at his family and saw Irina.

"Irina?" he said, "But wasn't she dead?"

Carlisle approached his children.

"What's wrong with them?" Bella asked worriedly.

"I don't know Bella, they don't seem to remember anything anymore."

"Carlisle," one of the girl Denali called. "Irina is hungry, she needs to eat something, but she can't stand up to hunt."

"Let's take her home," the doctor said.

The Cullen family returned to their home. With them the Denali Clan.

Tanya, Kate and Carmen supported Irina, still weak and completely disoriented. Her eyes were black and ringed by purple spots. Whoever had brought her back to life had also taken care to cover her nakedness. The vampire was wearing a banal gray coat of boiled wool. An old grandfather's model, but well kept. The fabric was soaked in perfume. The fragrance smelled of wood and moss. It reminded of the scent of the forest. Carlisle was sure he had already smelled that perfume.

They sat in the living room except for Doctor Cullen, he retired with Irina to his office. The Cullen house had 3 rooms that served as office: one for Carlisle, one for Esme who practiced the profession of architect and the last one for the boys, but since they preferred their own rooms, this last one had been used as a recreation room.

"The girls are preparing something to eat for you."

"Thank you," Irina whispered.

The bell rang and Alice opened the door, but there was no one there. On the doorstep, someone had left two dark blue glass bottles and a note:

*Contains pig's blood. That should be enough to feed your friend*

Alice took the contents to her father. She knocked gently before entering the study, and with the same delicacy, she placed the bottles on an antique table made of fine walnut from the early 1900s. The piece of furniture served as a desk. The girl handed over the note and withdrew. The man looked suspiciously at the bottles, opened one and smelled the smell that emanated from the contents.

"Pig's blood," he said.

Dr. Cullen took one of the bottles and handed it to Irina. She drank it in one gulp. The man remembered that before the murder her eyes were golden. He deduced that the 'resurrection' it had to be very debilitating for their kind.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked.

Irina smiled and nodded.

"Do you have any memories?"

"My limbs, being torn apart… and then a woman, beautiful, with ebony black hair and big, golden eyes… she reassured me. I was fine, I was strangely happy… she smelled: berries. Strange, I have no memory of the fire. I know for a fact that when we are dismembered, we still feel the fire burning what remains of the body."

The man took the piece of paper Alice had handed. The note had the scent of freshly cut grass. A fresh and pungent scent.

"Berries, are you sure?"

"Yes, she asked to keep the story a secret. There was another girl there, just as beautiful, she smelled of wood and moss… she said -mommy are you sure you don't want me to use my gift? Yes honey, even though I told at the girl Denali to keep it a secret. The truth is that I would like you to be friends with them… we can't mommy, us we are too differents from them, they would never accept us… but two of them, my honey, are your biological parents-".

Carlisle listened very carefully

"Biological parents, you are sure?" Carlisle asked apprehensively.

"Yes, the girl who called the other woman mommy, she lowered her head and started to cry… she was crying Carlisle, we vampires can't do that… and she had brown eyes. I'm sure she didn't wear contacts. The other woman's eyes were gold. One of them is a vegetarian like us."

Carlisle left the study with Irina, he asked Esme to lend her something to wear while he sat down on the couch to discuss, with the rest of the family and from friends, what to do about it.

oOo

"Forgive me Esme for the bad I put you and you all through."

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"No, that's not true Esme. When I saw the baby I thought of my mother, killed by the Volturi because she created an immortal child. I was so angry with you and then the whole Laurent thing"

"Did you feel like I and us was making fun of you?"

"Yes, I was stupid."

Esme smiled softly.

"The coat is horrible, a very old model, but at least it doesn't smell of mold or mothballs and it seems well-kept", Esme said

"The woman I saw was wearing a more modern one, I don't think this is hers, also because she was petite and not very tall. The other woman wasn't wearing any overcoat. But I think the coat is hers. It had the same perfume: moss and wood", Irina replied.

oOo

"Vegetarian," are you sure?" one of the Denali said.

"This your sister's description of one of the vampires she met. The other one I think is a hybrid like Renesmee, but I'm not sure. They look so different from her."

"Then they're not dangerous."

"I don't know yet, Alice. The vegetarian vampire wanted her children to be friends with us. One thing is for sure, Irina wasn't touched by the fire. I don't know how they managed to save the girl without being noticed. I think there's someone among them who can manipulate minds. The same person who erased Edward and Emmett's minds."
