Twilight Denali AU

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and I find plenty of stories where Bella is raised by the Cullens as a child…but none where she's raised by the Denali's as a child. AU OOC some femslash some bashing)

Tatania 'Tanya' Nikola Denali, the ancient and proud Russian Vampire-Succubus, was seething angrily as she stormed through the forests of Alaska. Now she didn't get angry often, as Coven Leader and the oldest of three sisters she was quite accomplished at keeping her cool and not letting anything seem to affect her much. So what was it that had her in such a stint?

Those thrice damned Cullen 'Cousins' of hers! That's what!

Rarely did she regret allying her coven with the other veggie vamps….but now was definitely one of those times.

That annoying mind reading twat she pretended to be interested in kept whining about everyone's thoughts as if he couldn't control his power, when she knew damn well that he could! Then there was the blond that she usually got along with, Rosalie, who was gripping about never being able to have children as if she were the only one who was upset about that!

No one but her coven mates knew it, but…Tanya had always wanted a child of her own even as a human when she was in a bad place. Her sisters were the only ones that knew and truly understand that she'd do anything to have a little one of her own, even give up her vampirism but not her sisters, she would never trade her sisters for anything and since she was unable to have children it was a moot point,…but…even as a human she was born barren. There was no way she could have a little one to call her own, and so sometimes she accidentally projected her more motherly side out to her little sisters. They thought it was funny and sweet and let her as long as she didn't go too far into the mothering but sometimes even mothering them didn't help.

That bastard Edward bought up how she treated Irina and Kate better than she did Eleazer and Carmen, of course that was shot down immediately when it was pointed out that Eleazer and Carmen were loved equally and that Tanya had a habit of mothering her sisters sometimes which is why it seemed she favored them since neither of the two Spanish Vamps needed the mothering. If anything Carmen mothered all three of the sisters! Of course Edward had 'accidentally' heard Kate and Irina's apparently amused and fond thoughts of how their big sister mothered them and babied them on occasion, especially on days like their 'birth' days when they'd been changed into Vampires and on the anniversary of Sasha's death. They even indulged her by letting her mother them on Mothers Day and a few other holidays on occasion.

"How dare he bring that up and then try to use it against us? I should have done more than rip off his legs." Tanya growled to herself as she stalked into the woods. Edward had immediately called the oldest of the blond sisters out on her mothering by saying she should just hang it up since there was no way she'd ever be a mother, and even if she was a mother she'd be a horrible one since Irina and Kate were Succubus's like her and she lets them flirt and toy with humans. It was at that point that Kate had tackled him and began her 'shock therapy'…when Rosalie had started gripping about how she wanted a baby and if she had one then she sure wouldn't let Tanya and her sisters near it because they'd be horrible influences…Irina had snarled so terrifyingly that Rosalie sought shelter with her overgrown child of a mate and kept her mouth closed the rest of the time.

Of course Edward had to open his big mouth and piss her off even more after Kate had stopped her 'therapy' by revealing that she had been barren as a human, a fact that he had learned about in her mind, and said that it was a good thing considering how much of a 'russian whore' she was in his words and how any child of hers would be just as bad…That was the breaking point for Tanya. He could say almost anything about her and she wouldn't care but if you said something about Sasha, her sisters, her Coven, or insulted a child she might have had…the kiddy gloves came off.

She had let out a roar that shattered the windows and tackled the mind reader through a wall and out of the house where she proceeded to rip off his leg and began to rip off one of his arms before the others finally managed to restrain her…they didn't manage to stop Kate from shocking him again and Irina from ripping out his other leg though. No one, 'extended family' or not, got away with saying that about their older sister or a niece or nephew they might could have had once upon a time.

It was at that moment that Tanya snarled for them to leave her territory. That she had to hunt and that the bastard better not be there when she got back or else she would roast him, before she stalked off into the woods.

She could vaguely hear her sisters yelling at the Cullens angrily as she left, but she paid it no mind. If she returned and found out that one of the Cullens had attacked one of her sisters though…it was going to be war between her and the Cullens. While they might believe they'd win against her due to their sheer numbers and their gifts…Tanya had something the rest of them lacked. Experience…and age. She was one of the oldest vampires that lived amongst humans and had been through several wars while disguising herself as a male, which had not been fun, so she knew how to fight how to kill and how to damn well tear apart a bunch of fucking pansies! The biggest threats would be Jasper due to his experience and Edward cause of his mind reading but they couldn't do much if she went on pure instinct especially since they were both babies compared to her.

"Huh?" Tanya snapped out of her day dreams of ripping Edward piece by piece slowly when she heard a weak wailing nearby. It sounded like a dying animal… and Tanya could go for a quick snack.

"A baby?!" Tanya nearly screeched when she followed the wailing only to see a baby, not even a year old, wailing weakly from a small basket left out in the woods. The poor thing was starting to turn blue as Tanya snatched her up and cradled her to her chest with one arm!

"Who could leave a child out here!?" Tanya snarled to herself as she used her free hand to take off her shirt, uncaring that she was only wearing a bra under it, and use it to wrap the child up as thoroughly as she could.

"Let's get you home and warm little one before we find your parents and I give them a piece of my mind." Tanya cooed to the now sniffling baby as she snatched the basket up in her free hand, before bending her body slightly so that the baby wouldn't be effected by the wind chill that was sure to occur when she ran home at vampire speeds.

"Tan are you oka-why do you have a baby with you?" Irina asked spotting her sister immediately as she approached the house and going to hug her…before spotting the weakly giggling baby in her sisters arms. Seemed like the baby enjoyed how fast Tanya had ran.

"I found her in a basket in the woods. Question things later! If we don't get her warmed up she'll die in this cold!" Tanya said not slowing down as she barreled into the house and turned the heater they had for appearances sake up to max before dashing to the bathroom to start a warm bath for the baby, and then grabbing a fluffy blanket and wrapping the baby in it like a cocoon as the child started crying again before turning the water off when she deemed it was high enough in the tub. A quick testing of the water made Tanya frown, it was too hot even though the child needed a hot bath. She didn't want to scald the child so she'd have to wait a few minutes until it had cooled off a bit.

"Shh don't cry little one. Everything will be okay." Tanya cooed to the baby slowly calming her down and causing the baby to smile and giggle slightly when she looked up at Tanya with big soulfull brown eyes that matched her tuft of brown hair.

"That's right sweetie, everything's okay. No one's gonna hurt you, you're too cute!" Tanya cooed to the baby with a soft smile on her face, before blinking when she heard a giggle from her sisters.

"What?" Tanya asked defensively when she looked up and saw not just her sisters but her other two Coven Mates grinning at her amused. Tanya knew that if she could blush she'd be ten shades of red by now, especially at Kate's next comment.

"Aww look at the fearless Coven Leader going all mama Vamp over a little baby."
