3Chapter 5
I felt Edward pick me up and take me to a room, but I still had my eyes closed and fell asleep easily when Edward laid me down on a nice comfy bed.
That night I had another nightmare, but woke up a little more aware this time. Edward was now getting worried about these nightmares, but so was I.
I woke the next morning to have Edward gently shaking me. He was dressed in a pair of dark jeans, and a jade green shirt.. I swear I've got to try and find some way to make him look normal. But of course what would I know about normal. In my case being normal was easier said than done. I mean, I'm not a normal human, and I'm not a normal vampire. Why did I have to be stuck on the fence of 'abnormal'.
"Because you're a rarity among both of us." Edward replied.
I giggled lightly at his remark. Well I guess if you do look at it that way, I would be rare. Yet, why do I fell so… oh what's the proper word for this….. Common?
Edward glared at me and I gave him the innocent little smile that I knew worked so well.
It didn't work at first till I giggled a little and buried my head in his chest.
"You don't see yourself properly. You are the most beautiful person on this planet. And you are a rare person." Edward mumbled.
"We'll go along with that." I mumbled back as I rested in his warm arms.
Edward gently pushed me back and looked at me curiously, "Aren't your wounds throbbing?"
Now that I think about it, they don't hurt. At all. I gently pulled back the bandage that was on my chest to see that they were completely healed. The only thing that was left was a small scar and the string that held my skin together was clinging to the bandage.
Edward scooped me up and took me to, I guessed, Carlisle. Edward kicked down the study door and ran me over to my adopted father. Poor Carlisle, he looked so shocked when Edward carried me over to him.
"What's wrong?" He asked quickly sounding very worried.
"Nothing. As far as I can tell at least." I mumbled.
"Her wounds are gone." Edward growled.
"Isn't that a good thing?!" I yelled and forced Edward to let me go.
Carlisle walked over to me and pulled back the bandages that we on my arm, and to his great surprise, they were gone. But to my displeasure I saw many scars covering my arms. God I'm now suddenly terrified to see the damage on my chest.
"What could this mean?" Carlisle asked himself as he poured over his papers.
"I don't know but I'd like to figure out." Edward mumbled.
"Hey, I'm going to the bedroom and take these things off. Okay?" I asked loudly so they'd hear me.
"Of course, go on." Edward laughed.
'Well I didn't wana just leave and get you all worried.' I thought as I pouted leaving the room slowly.
'Thank you very much for doing so.' Edward thought back and began helping Carlisle with my research notes that Carlisle spent some of his time trying to figure out what exactly I was.
I didn't like how he used that phrase. I knew very well what I was, I was just….. Well different. I know I'm a Vampire or well, part. But still, I'm vampire! I can't grow old, I drink blood, I'm a very powerful being, and… okay that's just about all I can think of right now.
I walked into my room with my head hanging a little low due to the fact that I feel like a freak…
'Your not a freak!' Edward thought sounding very angry.
'Please stay out of my head and help dad for the moment.' I thought sounding a little sad, which I was.
Edward never did reply to my thought so I guessed either they found out something, or Edward was just giving me my space. And man, I must have also sounded a little pissed cause Carlisle wrapped this bandage, that was on my chest, pretty damn good. Took me a while to get it off.
"NYX!" Alice called from outside.
I went to my window to see her and Emmet waving me to come outside. It was bright and sunny today and they're skin was sparkling like diamonds. It was a beautiful sight. Hm… speaking of beautiful.. I need to see Edward outside in the sun later. I heard Edward chuckle lightly to my thought as I went down the stairs to meet up with Alice and Emmet.
"Come on, sour puss. We're going for a hunt." Emmet laughed as I inhaled the fresh spring air. I must have rained last night, no shock there, cause it smelled extremely fresh and damp.
"It rained last night didn't it?" I asked and inhaled deeply again.
"Yep. What you didn't hear it storming out here last night? We said we were going to play baseball, but since you got injured we diced to save it for later." Alice replied sounding rather calm.
"Yah, I'm sorry about that." I mumble as I held my head low.
Emmet laughed then threw me over his shoulders. "Don't be. Besides I got to kick your dad's-"
"Excuse me!" I yelled.
"Oh, I mean Jonas's. I got to kick his ass. Nobody touches my little sis. Now com on! Let's go eat!" Emmet yelled then dropped me on my butt.
I jumped up and just as I was getting ready to run after Emmet, I looked to the study room window and saw Edward smiling at me.
'You coming?' I asked.
'Yah, I'll meet up with you in a hour.' Edward thought then waved to me.
I blew him a kiss then ran after my brother and sister.
We went to some strange place that I'd never been to before. Apparently the food there was great at this time of year, so on with the hunting!
I, like Edward loved mountain lions but I also liked bears, just like Emmet. It was funny when Edward and Emmet would argue over me when it came to hunting trips. Emmet always wanted me to join him and Rosalie, but I personally didn't wana see the two of them together on trips cause they tended to let they're mind run wild and I saw many things that would make a sailor blush bright red.
Anyways, It was now just about sunset and Edward had been hunting with me for the 5 hours or so. We were getting ready to go back home when Alice got a vision. Edward growled lowly and I just looked blank.
'What's wrong with them coming here?' I thought clueless.
'They've caught your scent. Come on. I need to get you home.' Edward said putting his arms around me and picked me up.
"Edward, it's too late!" Alice hissed just as Edward was about to jump away from the scene.
"Edward, put me down, please. You know I hate being picked up." I mumbled.
Edward looked terrified, but listened and set me back onto the ground were I felt a bit more comfortable. I looked around hearing light foot steps coming from the north, but the only problem was, is that where from the north were they coming from? Emmet slowly walked over to me and pushed me behind him. Edward flanked next to Emmet in a flash as well did Jasper and Rosalie. Well Rosalie came behind the men and put her arms around me like I was hers.
I struggled to get loose but she kept hold.
'If the see they your struggling they'll think your not one of us. I'm holding you like this because it shows that you are ours.' Rosalie thought.
"But shouldn't Edward hold me?" I whispered, "Besides you're a great fighter go next to Em."
"No, She's going to stay with you." Emmet growled.
I sighed deeply in defeat and turned to hold onto Rosalie's shirt cause honestly I was kinda scared.
To my great shock I heard the paces coming from behind us and I jerked my head in their direction. There were 3 vampires exiting the forest leaving me straight out in the open to them.
"G-guys." I mumbled and went to Edward quickly.
"Damn it all to hell!" Edward hissed.
I looked closely to the 3 wanderers and noticed there were 2 men and 1 female. The woman had a wild look to her. Her hair was fiery red and her cloths were kinda torn, showing that she was a nomad. The man leading the group was olive toned and had his black hair pulled back. His cloths seemed somewhat Victorian and was a stand out orange. He had a traditional manor to him. The other man that bore his eyes into me had blonde hair pulled into a ponytail, his skin was fair, and it was easy to tell he was a natural killer. He wore a leather jacket leaving it open to show his bare flat chest and wore torn jeans.
'She smells so good.' one of the men thought. I couldn't tell which one it was that enjoyed my scent, due to the fact that they were close together.
Edwards grasp around my waist tightened when the hunters thought passed by. Just in the corner of my eye I saw Carlisle walk towards the visitors. WAIT! ONE! SEC!
'Theses are those visitors that Alice was talking about the yesterday?!' I thought sounding surprised and appalled.
'Yes. Now do us a favor and stop trembling.' he ordered and rubbed my arms to help.
That was easy to do. The thing that was easier said than done was trying to see why my mind reading wasn't working that well. I heard very little of what the new comers we think, including my families.
"Hello, I'm Carlisle and this is my family. How may we help you?" He said sounding very polite.
"I'm Laurent, and this is Victoria and James. We were just passing by when we smelled such a tempting scent.
Laurent was not the one who I heard. So it was this dude named James. Ah man, this is not good. He was looking at me with red eyes and man did he look hungry.
"Your smelling my daughter Nyx. She's not human." Carlisle said pointing at me.
I looked at him with an outraged look. Was he trying to just make me stick out in the crowd.
"Then what is she?" James mumbled, "She smells human, her heart beats, and she looks human."
I sighed deeply then stepped forward going next to Carlisle. James inhaled deeply and I heard Edward growl.
"I'm not fully human. I'm a new breed of Vampires. I' what you'd possibly call a hybrid. A mix between Human and Vampire." I stated keeping a close eye in James.
James walked forward but Emmet jumped in front of me blocking me from this man. God I wish I knew what he was thinking! What's going on with me?!
"Nyx? Might I ask who your father is?" Laurent asked sounding calm and curious.
I shivered lightly wondering where that bugger was but answered with, "Jonas Night. He's a member of the Volturi."
"I thought I recognized your face. You look much like your father." Laurent laughed.
"If you would please not call him my father. He have a direr wish to kill one another at the moment." I growled lowly.
"That we do." I heard Jonas state fro behind us, "But just because we hate each other doesn't mean I won't kill you if you touch her. She is my child after all."
I turned to see Jonas walking towards us with a protective look spread across his face. I looked at him with probably the biggest and deadliest glare they've ever seen cause Emmet ended up backing away from me.
"Jonas, I'm not your child! I look to Carlisle as my father! Now why the hell are you here!?" I yelled.
"I see your wounds have healed already. It's going to be harder to kill you than I thought." He laughed lightly.
"You just realized that?" Laurent asked.
I looked to him with a puzzled expression. What was he trying to kill me? Or was it James? Either way I knew I was going to fight someone here in the next few minutes.
"So who's gonna be the lucky person to try and kill me?" I growled.
"NYX!" Edward yelled outraged.
Laurent, James, and Jonas all glanced at Edward then looked back to me.
"I'm not in this. Nyx, I have no problem with you." Laurent said stepping aside.
Okay, now it was either James or Jonas.
"Well?" I asked sounding board as I looked at my clean, long, black nails that were known to be deadly according to my old coven when I got into a fight with some ditz.
Yah I was purposely asking to be most likely killed by this newcomer, but if he was anything like Jonas, then this would be the most interesting fight I'd have. The fight with Jonas was a little rough for me, due to the fact that I knew Edward was around and He'd threatened to kill Edward. But what if James does the same? Crap!
I noticed James smile lightly at me. Okay I now knew who I was going to be fighting. I sighed deeply and got into my crouch looking at James with a deadly smile.
"James! No!" Laurent yelled
I pouted when James stud up straight then looked to Jonas who wasn't even there. Ah come on! Talk about taking away the fun!
Edward walked over to me and put a hand on my forehead. "Are you okay? You don't seem yourself today."
"I feel fine, minus the fact I can't hear anyone's thought." I said and knocked on my head.
"That would explain why you wouldn't reply back." Edward mumbled and started pulling me away from everyone.
I looked back at everyone and saw James watch my every move. It was kinda scary not knowing what he was planning. I was at the moment left helpless. I wonder if my ability to control fire still works?
I held my hand out and snapped my fingers and to my great pleasure I could still do that. Thank god!
I noticed James chuckle and I heard him say "This will be fun."
This was probably still a bad week. I mean yesterday I get my ass beat by Jonas, this James dude wants my blood, Jonas showed up, and now I can't hear anyone's thoughts. But I guess I'll have to live with what I've got. Well I can hope that this is just a temporary thing. But still what with James and Jonas both wanting to kill me I think my chances of living have gone down a bit. But for now, I'm just gonna fight and be the strong little vampire I am.
