Tory-Jane looked up from her book and surveyed her room. It was a mess again and she was sure to be nagged into tidying up again by Esme, her mother for all intensive purposes. She heard an agreement emerge from the room next door and she rolled her eyes. Having a mind-reader for a brother was bloody irritating.

"Language Tor!" Edwards smug voice filled through the wall.

"Hush up Edward and snap out of my mind!" Tory retaliated before filling her mind with as much Hannah Montana she could muster. She heard a groan emerge from Edward, and she smiled smugly. Job Complete.

A while later, a car pulled into the drive-way and Tory jumped down, knowing it would be Carlisle, her dad. Upon reaching the hall-way she was not to be disappointed. Her face broke into a grin as she met him at the door.

Carlisle grinned as his youngest child bounced down the banister into his arms. "Hey TJ, you okay?" Tory nodded vigorously and settled happily in his arms as her mother and other siblings acknowledged Carlisle's arrival with nods and 'Hey's'.

"You finished your homework?" Carlisle asked as he sat down in the sofa with Tory in his arms. TJ nodded and settled next to him.

"Try again TJ!" Edward called from upstairs. TJ groaned and peeked at her dad who had his eyebrows raised in that fatherly fashion.

"Almost, I have two pieces of math left" She answered truthfully. "Can't I go outside for a while?"

"No, finish your homework and we'll go hunting. Kay?" TJ nodded solemnly and trudged up the stairs. "Stop stamping like a child TJ!" Esme called from the kitchen. Tory-Jane sighed and picked her pace up and walked into her room to finish the work.

After 35 minutes, she was still no further forward and threw the book against the wall in anger. She buried her head in her arms and listened to music. After a while of listening to Disney Stars 101, Tory remembered her answers and finished slamming her book shut in satisfaction.

She walked downstairs and saw the others going out. TJ slumped her shoulders and went into the living room and waited for her dad to finish working. She was never allowed to go out like the others as she had to keep up the image of being 7 years of age. This was something that irritated her the most. Her parents babied her incessantly.

"Ready munchkin?" Carlisle's voice broke her brooding mood. TJ nodded and followed him and Esme out and went to hunt. After two dear and a racoon that was irritating her Tory was full and could feel the blood slosh around in her stomach.

"Shall we head home and give you a bath?" Esme's chuckled to herself as she surveyed the mess that was her youngest daughter. She had twigs hanging everywhere off of her ripped clothing, mud on her face and blood smeared around her face and shirt.

TJ grinned at her parents sheepishly before running home, beating her father by a minute.

"YES! New Record baby!" Tory jumped about in glee before turning round to meet the icy glare of Rosalie.

"That was incredibly dangerous, don't EVER do that again!" Her tone immediately dampened Tory's mood. Dropping her head she walked round her sister and into the bathroom to have a shower to go and lose herself in her book.

A while later, a soft knock came at the door and Jasper walked in with a small smile.

"Hey Hun you ok?"

Tj nodded and sat up crossing her legs as he sat next to her on the bed. "You know Rosalie was just concerned for you earlier don't you. You know what she's like! She's a…"

"Jasper hale if you wish to continue your life stop right there!" Rose called from the top floor.

"He's already dead babe!…Ouch what did I do?" Tj giggled as she heard her eldest brother Emmett complain from the smack Rosalie gave him. A small knock on the door revealed Rose looking as beautiful as ever.

Tj bit her lip softly and looked through her eyelashes. She had retained her biological parents looks, with natural white-blonde hair that fell in gentle ringlets and waves down passed just her shoulder, her golden eyes and heart shaped face. She could be mistaken for being Carlisle and Esme's natural daughter.

"Teej, I'm sorry for snapping. You just worried me that's all. Friends?" Rose offered a hug with her arms open. Tory smiled and jumped up and ran into her arms hugging her tightly. "more like sisters". Rosalie beamed and hugged her tighter.

"Okay, who's up for movie night?" Emmett spoke, ruining the moment. Everyone rolled their eyes knowing full-well the answer and headed down to the living room where Edward sat with his new girlfriend Bella.

"Bella, this is Tory-Jane. You can call her Tory, Tj, Tee, Teej anything but Tory-Jane, isn't that right missy?" Alice, the pixie vampire chirped from her position on the love-seat in Jasper's arms.

Tory smiled timidly at Bella and curled up next to her psychic sister, Alice. It was such a crazy lifestyle she led. She often felt left out. She was nothing special, but the last child alive that can never die. She had no powers unlike her parents and siblings. Edward was a mind reader, Jasper could manipulate emotions, Alice could see the future, Rosalie was unnaturally beautiful, Emmett was the strongest person she had ever seen, Carlisle had his compassion and self-control for resisting blood and Esme had the ability to find the good in everyone.

Sensing a change in atmosphere, Jasper quickly sent round a wave of excitement whilst looking pointedly at Edward, who shook his head discretely. He needed to talk to Carlisle before anyone else.

The movie was quickly over and Edward took Bella up to his room as she was readily asleep. He stopped over in Carlisle's office to talk to the thoughts Tory had been expressing all day.

"Carlisle can I talk you?" Edward asked his father as he walked in, disturbing him from the latest medical case. 'of course son. Just let me finish this last case quickly….stats normal, no infection present, clear for discharge.'

Carlisle looked up from the notes to stare at his youngest son. "What's bothering you? You look like you've seen a ghost". Carlisle smiled broadly at his own joke, whilst Edward merely rolled his eyes.

"It's about Tor. She's been having depressive, contemplative thoughts all day and Jasper says she's been feeling down for the last couple of days. It's just unlike her, her bubbles' have gone."

"These thoughts, what do you make them to be about?" Carlisle asked, wondering what could be wrong with his little girl. Although she wasn't his by blood or venom, Carlisle adored TJ even with all of her childish demeanours she found herself propelled into.

Edward paused to think. "She's been thinking how she doesn't have a partner, no independence, wishing she had no family after she got scolded by Rosalie. Dad she thought about going to the Volturi asking to be killed!"

"Edward you know that will be never be allowed. Aro kept her alive for a purpose. A keep-sake if you will. Despite her best attempts even Tory knows she will never be killed unless she is ripped apart by another." Both men shuddered at the thought before Carlisle continued.

"Are you sure it is not another of her strops?" Carlisle knew the short-fuse his youngest held, and because of the age she was changed, like all of her siblings, she retained certain characteristics from her previous life.

"Hmm. maybe, I've just never known her to be like this." Edward surmised. The worry was still etched across his face for Carlisle to see.

"I'll talk to her if that will put your mind at ease". Edward nodded gratefully before returning to his girlfriend in his bedroom.

Tory stretched as Alice placed another movie into the DVD player, groaning when it was another chick-flick. "Seriously Alice, do we have to watch this shit?"

"Tory-Jane!" Esme's voice called in disgust. Turning her head around sheepishly to look at her mum who was stood in the doorway with hands on hips and eyebrows raised.

"Sorry mum. Won't happen again" Much Tj thought as after-thought. She fought back the incitement to roll her eyes as Edward laughed from his bedroom, not disclosing her thoughts. Thanks Edward.

"I should hope not. Your father wishes to see you, then for goodness sake child get changed you look like you were raised by a pack of wolves!"

Tory-Jane rolled her eyes and quickly darted out of the room avoiding the playful tap her mother laid on her backside and headed up to her father's office. Walking in she settled on her father's lap comfortably snuggled into his arms.

"Comfy misses?" Tj nodded happily and hugged him. Carlisle smiled and wrapped his arms around his daughter.

"Edward and Jasper tell me you've been a bit down today. What's up?" Tory struggled to find an answer so looked down at her hands and fiddled her thumbs.

"Tory-Jane answer me please" Tory looked up immediately at her father's use of her full name which was something he never did unless he wanted answers or she was in trouble.

"There much better, I can see those beautiful eyes of yours. Now what's had my dear daughter so down today?" Tory bit her lip and played with the collar of Carlisle's shirt, like all children do when they are afraid or unsure.

"I…I just feel like I'm alone and can't be trusted and I'm. plain and boring" Tory stammered out. As her last words were spoken, Carlisle pulled her into a tight hug.

"You silly girl. Of course your not alone, you have and will always have us. You know you're the centre of attention here. You know you're a daddy's little girl". Tory giggled as Carlisle tickled her gently before continuing.

"And you are most certainly not plain and boring. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I am proud to be your dad! Now is my happy girl back?"

TJ nodded fiercely but did not move from her father's arms. She was too comfy and relaxed and as close to sleep as a vampire can get. Carlisle rocked her thoughtfully as he finished his paperwork before picking up a book.

All too soon he heard his children go to their rooms and mutter a 'good night'. they were all no doubt up to various activities with their mates. Sometimes Carlisle wished he could find a mate for TJ, that would solve her a lot of problems. Being rid of the loneliness.

A soft knock at the door revealed Esme in the doorway, smiling as she watched her comatose daughter in her father's arms. Crossing the room, she walked over and stroked her face and hair softly before kissing her husband.

"Is she okay?" Esme asked in a murmur too low to disturb TJ. Carlisle nodded gently and resumed his rocking as TJ made signs she was beginning to stir.

"She's fine, just felt a bit down. Teenage hormones if you will" Esme chuckled softly as she took in their daughter. Chronologically she was 68 years old, physically she was 8. She would forever remain the 'last immortal child'.
