"Rose, what the hell is…." A voice appeared, seemingly out of thin air, and trailed of when I locked eyes with him. This man also had golden eyes like my Mommy's Goddess, so I presumed that he was her acquaintance - another good vamp. Though his appearance was extremely intimidating to me with his huge built body and short dark curly hair.
"Watch your mouth, Emmett!" Mommy's Goddess, Rose I now knew, hissed as she quickly covered my ears with her hands. "This poor, sweet, baby was all alone, on the filthy ground sobbing her poor heart out." She said it very lowly, but I heard it clearly. Did she know I could hear her? If she did, then why was she still covering my ears?
Oh right, Mommy said vampires, and supposedly half-vampires, had sensitive hearing.
"We should take her to Carlisle to make sure she is alright." Rose said in a soft, warming voice and slid her hands off my ears to scoot my body on her waist. "Honey, Emmett and me are going to take you to a safe, warm place, okay?" Rose asked to me, a smile beautifully gracing her face as she grazed down at me.
"Jeez, Rose, it's not like she can understand a word you're saying. Just kiss her head and let's leave." Emmett chuckled, covering his mouth with his hand controlling his laughter.
My heart fell. This Goddess assistance is really mean, I knew everything that they were saying, why was he being rude? I didn't do anything wrong did I?
"Emmett! How dare you!" Rose screamed holding me a bit tighter to her side. Her bright angelic eyes with glaring at Emmett- they seemed to have darkened. "She can understand you fine, now go on and lead the way before you upset her even further!".
I felt happy that Rose was sticking up for me, but I also felt bad for Emmett. It was true, normal infants couldn't adapt to a language for at least a month before they start blubbering words out.
"Fine." Emmett sighed but as Rose started following him he slacked pace a second or two until he was walking next to Rose, right by me. I became nervous as I gazed up at him. Was he going to mock me again?
"Hey there, kiddo. I'm sorry for upsetting you if I did" Emmett said lightly, by I could tell by the tenderness of his eyes that he meant what he said. "Wanna ride on my shoulders? It would be your first roller coaster ride ever, and the best one, I'll promise you that. How about it?" Emmett asked as he started walking sideways, now entirely facing me, with his arms outstretched.
My eyes went up to Rose's.
"I swear, Emmett, if you dare make her cry, I'll make sure Alice forces you to go shopping with her" Rose growled as she gently laid me in Emmett's big hands. Who was Alice? Another good vampire? And what was this so called 'shopping'? It sounded evil.
"I promise, Rose, this beauty of a baby will have the time of her baby life" Emmett assured rose as he lifted me above his head and placed me behind his head on his shoulders. What was he saying he was doing to me? I suppose I'm 'riding on his shoulders' having my first 'roller coaster ride' which is my 'best ever'.
"Okay, kiddo, I want you to close you eyes tight" at this Emmett pointed to his eyes as he explained, "and hold on to my head as tight as possibly" and at this he gently lifted my arms and placed them around his head.
I quickly tightened my arms in place and hid my face in Emmett's surprisingly soft hair, clenching my eyes shut. I inhaled and nuzzled my nose further into his hair, it smelled so fresh, so soothing.
I heard and felt when Emmett laughed and when Rose whacked his arm.
"Ready kiddo?" Emmett laughed out as he patted my head. In response I held on tighter to his head. "I'll take that as a yes" he laughed but I heard him when he whispered to Rose, "This one's strong for an infant". I suppose I should take that as a compliment, right?
"Be careful with her, Emmett" Rose sighed right before Emmett's body jerked forward into a wind blown oblivion. Oddly enough I felt at peace with the wind whisking around my skin, and I took a chance and opened my eyes and peeked around Emmett's fluffy head.
My sight was amazing. Colors whirled around, but I saw everything, so detailed so emphasizing. Tree's passing, insects hanging in hooded leaves and branches, even Emmett's feet as the scattered across the forest floor, seeing how little force he added as I saw his muscles contract beneath his tight - though a tad loose- flexible material.
Emmett's head turned to me, and his bright eyes watched me and I looked at him wondrously.
"You're not human, are you kiddo?" Emmett laughed in a booming voice as he swung me into his arms. The sudden lose of wind in my eyes made me blink furiously, and then gazed up at Emmett again.
"Indeed she's not" Another voice came out, making Emmett laugh harder.
I shyly glanced up at the new arrival. He seemed… uh 'civilized' was it? Yes civilized. A white cloth hang around his torso and light blue pants lugged down around his waist, comfortable.
"You my dear, have a racing heart." The 'civilized' man stated with a warming smile and pulled off his cloth off of his torso revealing another cloth underneath it, another white one. "Emmett, bring her here, son" he asked softy.
'Son' , meaning that he was related to Emmett who was acquainted with Rose, meaning he as well was a good vampire.
Emmett obediently took the necessary steps forward and lightly pulled my away from his cozy chest. Carlisle gently wrapped the clothing he had taken off, I think it was called a sweater, and wrapped it around my small framed body. It was huge on me, but it smelled comforting so I didn't complain.
"Do you mind if I hold you, dear?" This 'civilized' man asked with another warming smile. I didn't say anything just leaned lightly towards him. He must have known what I meant and gently placed me in his arms. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. Do you, my dear, have a name?" The 'civilized' man, Carlisle asked as his hand moved to my face and started adding a bit pressure to some sensitive spots in my body that made me want to laugh as loud as Emmett had done. I believe Mommy mentioned it as being 'ticklish'. I'm ticklish.
I fought with my throat for awhile before deciding better of it and just bobbled my head up and down.
"Holly sh.. You mean to tell me that this little kid can really understand everything we're saying!?" Emmett almost asked in shock. His eyes were moving between Carlisle and me.
"Of course, Emmett, we have with us a very special child with us. A half-vampire If my past studies are correct. Am I correct, young one?" Carlisle asked in a softer, more wiser, tone as his question was directed to me.
I debated whether or not Mommy would want me to tell them my secret. If they were with Rose, then I should trust them.
I bobbled my head up and down once more, making his eyes glow in delight.
