Chapter 8

To say that I was shocked to see Alex return home with not only a 15 years old child but a naked unconscious young woman over her shoulder was, well, it was an understatement, a really big one

"Alex what is the meaning of this?" asked Daniela looking shocked at the scene, she wasn't much different than the rest of us at that moment

"I may have knocked this one out when they entered our territory by accident, her mate say that they are running from the La Push wolf pack; she's a wolf shifter Leah," said Alex putting the unconscious girl in the couch and covering her with a blanket.

The girl had the same skin tone as Leah with short black hair and a very muscular body; she looked positively exhausted, for how long was she running?

"We've been running for three days without stop, Kieran passed out due to exhaustion and fear," said the younger girl, I raised an eyebrow was she a mind reader?

"Yes and no, my kind can read minds but not always. It is complicated" said the girl, her eyes were a very beautiful and strange tone of water green enclosed by black at the end of its irises; the girl was small and pale with long, really long golden hair; her beauty was definitely supernatural. It was almost hypnotic

"She's a siren Bella, I would look too much on her eyes; they don't mean to but their eyes cloud a person's judgment. It is very dangerous" said Lilian breaking the haze that was slowly creeping into my brain

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to draw you Miss Bella," said the girl with a tone of sadness, she got a sunglass out of her pack a moment later putting it in her face, her eyes vanishing behind the pitch black glass

"It's okay sweetheart, we know you don't have control over it. Who long have you been on land?" asked Daniela with a loving voice, the girl on the couch groaned what made the siren girl to move closer to her, the groaning stop

"7 months give or take; Kieran's being helping me to understand you people's costumes," said the girl, with a slightly broken voice

"That is good, what has she taught you?" asked Lilian with an equally warm tone

"She said that I can't sing to humans, that it is not good; she also gave me glasses so I don't lure others to me without meaning, she helped me learn your language and other things" said the girl, she was adorable; just like a child discovering the world for the first time

"And what is your name sweetie?" asked Daniela

"Vasilisa, Lissa," said the young mermaid with a smile, well it was safe to say she liked her name

"I see someone is proud of her name," said, Daniela, as if reading my thoughts

"I choose it, all on my own; and Kieran like's it," said the girl making most of us laugh, this girl was a very innocent creature indeed

-x-x-

"Well that is one different couple," said Daniela much later in the evening, Lissa and Kieran sleeping in a room upstairs; Kieran still had to wake up.

"Why?" I asked confused, a small pile of food on my plate, I was hungry really hungry

"Well, for one, Siren rarely come close to the surface, much less out of the water; they live in the deeps of the ocean, so deep that not even a vampire can swim on, the pressure would crush anything that tried to go there," said Lilian indulging in a blood bag

"Also, Sirens don't trust easily; they were hunted by humans and other supernaturals for a very long time, for you to earn the trust of a Siren is a thing to be celebrated. But the most important part is that they are very dangerous creatures" said Lilian with a somewhat dark tone, Daniela eyed her

"They don't mean to most of the time; they are very gentle and innocent beings. But yeah, Siren are predators; they are not like shifters who are protectors or fairies who are tricksters and mostly harmless; no, Sirens are most like Vampires; the perfect predators" said Daniela finishing for her mate, she had sadness in her tone, as if she knew the pain of such existence

"Dani's twin sister was mated to a Siren a long time ago; they were great friends. It didn't end well" said Lilian upon seeing my expression

"It doesn't matter anymore Lilian, what matters is that these girls are scared and running, we are helping them," said Daniela with a final tone, she was using her Alpha tone, one that she almost never used.

"It's a sore spot for her Bells, don't worry alright," said Lilian with a motherly smile

-x-x-

"Hey you guys wake," I said looking up from where I was doing dinner for the house; it was Mia's birthday and she wanted pizza

"Hi, my name is Kieran Uley; Lissa told me that you guys helped us thank you for that" I heard the girl say but I was stuck in the Uley part, this girl was for sure Sam Uley's child

"You are Sam Uley's kid aren't you?" I asked with an unreadable tone, the native girl got tense in her mate's arms, her jaw locked in a tight tense line

"And what if I am?" she asked ready to attack if she needs to, I wasn't too worried about that, the girl could barely stay up without her mate's help

"Girl you are in a house full of shifter and vampires, all of them older than you; I would pick that fight if I were you," said Leah coming to the door, she had sharp eyes in the girl's direction

"I will fight till I'm dead if I need, you are not going to take us back to that man," said the girl with a feral growl; her growl did nothing but annoy me, Leah on other hand was pissed. The girl must be really young if she thinks that growling in another wolf's territory was an okay thing

"Sit down; you insolent child" growled Leah in dominance, the girl was smart enough to listen and keep quiet, Leah was an Alpha after all

"Now you listen and you listen to me very closely because I will not repeat myself do you understand?" said Leah with her silver eyes shining as bright as the day, the girl was positively scared now, Leah could produce that effect when she was pissed

"First, you are in my territory, my Clan and you are talking to my best friend and my children's other mother. You will show her and us some respect as we have been nothing but respectful to you and your mate. Second, I am more likely to kill Uley than to give him anything back; that bastard gave this scar, he betrayed me and tried to kill my family" said a very pissed off, Leah, the rest of our family thankfully making themselves scarce

"You are aunt Leah," said the girl with realization, both me and Leah were shocked by this

"How do you know who I am?" asked Leah still mad, but not as much as before

"Mom would tell me about you, she always said that father made a lot of enemies during his life but none hated him as much as you must hate" said the girl and I had to agree with her, a 100 years did nothing to quell Leah's hatred for the Uley boy, if anything she hated him more after all this time.

"And your mother was right, no one hates your father more than I," said Leah putting an end to the conversation as she stormed out of the kitchen

"Don't take Leah's attitude to heart, she is actually a really good person. But your father and La Push as a whole, well, they have a way of bringing out the worst in her" I said with a tired smile, maybe moving to Alaska wasn't so good of a choice after all; we have found nothing but headaches since coming here

"Yeah my father has this effect on people," said the girl with a shadow to her eyes

"Kieran's father a dick," said the Siren girl with an innocence and proud smile that caused both me and Kieran to laugh

"This is not something you should say to other people Lissa, but you are also right," said the native girl hugging her mate close to her in an affectionate movement

"You are warm," said the girl with a relaxed voice, Kieran on another hand looked worried

"Too hot?" she asked putting a little distance between them

"No, it is good warm, not bad warm. Come back" said the girl pushing her mate to her once more, she must have used a little too much force since the young shapeshifter groaned

"Sorry, Lissa can't control strength sometimes," said the blond with a guilty look, and I at that moment couldn't for the life of me understand why would anyone hunt, much less kill such innocent creatures

"People hunted us because of our beauty, for glory and for madness; supernatural did for our blood, our magic and for fear of our kind," said the girl reading my mind once again, how could she do that was beyond me, no one but my clan and my children ever could

"How do you that? I remember you said it was complicated" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me

"Lissa can read those whose mind needs healing, you know…people with deep emotional traumas and such. That was how we meet actually" said the wolf shifter making me look a little shocked at her, the girl sighed

"I take that you know my father, so you must know how much of a sadistic a-hole he is; so my life wasn't the best growing up, my father was an ass of an alpha and an even worst dad. So first chance I got, I jumped on a boat and sailed miles into the ocean, like really far out of the shore; and when I was really in the middle of nowhere I strapped the anchor to my feet and I jumped into the water; at the time I thought that the only way for me to be free was to end it all, so I did just that. I was going to die, I was basically dead when she showed up, Lissa cut the rope and brought me back to my boat. She helped me to find a better way" said the girl with a dismissive tone, one that didn't convince me at all

"Anyway, I told you my damage, what is yours?" asked the trying to feel less awkward

"Ex-boyfriend issues," I said simply not really wanting to go down that path

"Okay, I get it, fresh wound. I won't force you to share" said the native girl backing off, this girl was a strange egg, not in an 'I don't trust you' kind of way but still she was strange

"Kieran can be kind of strange sometimes, just ignore it," said the Siren girl, making me roll my eyes, at least she was cute reading my thoughts
