Again thanx to Elyshia for the use of the name and help you've really helped get this story going.

CHAPTER FOUR
UNPLEASANT GUEST AND QUESTIONS

"Why is it every time we see you you're all covered in muck?" Jane said stepping out of the nearby woods with Alec and Demetri flanking her. All three laughed at Nikki.

"Why is it Jane you always look like you've seen the wrong end of a truck?' Nikki growled out hoping Jane wouldn't use her real name or there'd be tons of questions. She was losing control of her temper and knew Jasper could feel so she focused herself enough to make sure she remain calm.

"It seems that the old man's gone soft in the head leaving you loose without your trainer behind you." Jane sniped unhappily glaring at Nikki as the other two flanked her closely again.

Nikki laughed at her, "Well it seems your daddy let the monkey squad come out with you. What is you want so you can go tattle to your daddy I'm here." Nikki said glaring back at Jane before adding, "And don't think for one minute your powers are going to work here little girl I'm made sure of that." she hissed forgetting about the Cullens being there.

Jane glanced at the dirty, faintly grinning female and knew that she could stir the pot but tip it over and even she'd be on the wrong end of Aro's temper causing her pout to deepen "Why'd you have to come anyway?" she sniped, "They're not even that important, surely not enough for the old man." She sneered at the Cullens as Demetri began growling at them as they stepped forward.

Nikki snorted at Jane knowing she could only push so far herself. "They're more important to my father than you might think. But since it's not either of our business why don't you tell Aro to contact father and ask him himself. Now then if you're through your presence isn't necessary anymore unless you have something more you need to talk to the Cullens about." Nikki said rolling her eyes at the three of them.

The Cullens watched astonished as Jane spun on her heel obviously seething the phone appearing in her hand as she stormed back through the woods with Alec and Demetri following suit even they could hear Jane's furious, almost childlike voice plainly as she left.

Nikki turned to face the whole group waiting for the questions to come. This wasn't how she wanted to explain who she was to them. "So we still playing football guys?' She asked noticing the looks on their faces.

Carlisle shook his head as Nessie climbed half up Esme's arm shivering a bit clearly the conflicts between Jane and the Cullens rarely went so far to their favor. "We should go home, and then we can ask our questions without the danger of others learning what you do not wish them to." he said calmly, seeming in fact quite pragmatic about the situation, though Nikki realized that the elder Cullen probably had an idea.

Nikki nodded and helped pack up for the return trip home. Once everyone was safely home she took a seat in the living room and waited as everyone gathered in their respective places. "Okay, I guess I've got some explaining to do huh?" she said once everyone got still.

The wariness of the Cullens was apparent as they filtered in, Esme sitting to Carlisle's left on the arm of the chair he was seated in, Nessie curled in Jake's lap once wide eyes looking at her as the others settled around the room, curious, wary and a small bit afraid.

"Is there anything in particular you want to know besides the most basic question am I really Theron's daughter? Cause to answer that yes I am, but I'm not vampire no Edward I'm something else." Nikki stated pausing to let that small bit of information sink in.

Edward quirked a brow as Bella settled against his chest with a faint snort as they all noticed Alice's deep frown, as she couldn’t actually see anything related to Nikki's future - troubling as that was in fact as the others noted this as soon as Nikki's gaze made that clear, she had.

Nikki turned to Carlisle, "Let me start by saying my father would only have sent me if he thought you very much worth a look. It’s not often I'm sent out. That being said I'm not fully vampire. In a way I'm kinda like Nessie which is why I can relate to her and the reason why my father thought it was a good idea to send me. I'm a half breed. No, I'm not human Jake but half vampire and half unicorn. Before you ask it is possible for those two creatures to fall in love." Nikki said lowering her eyes. She felt almost afraid they'd make her leave.

The astonishment in the room rocked even Jasper whose hand gripped the edge of the couch he was seated on hard enough that the wood cracked causing Alice's hand to reach to stroke over it almost absently, coaxing the grip to loosen. "But there's not been even a possible to prove rumor in years ... Aro told me of the rumors not long after I met him... “Carlisle said slowly letting the information sink in slowly.

"It’s true. My father wanted me safe so he told the Volturi that I died. The thing is the Volturi slaughtered the other guardians as we called ourselves, during a brief argument with my father. I was spared only because I was hidden along with my sister and no she's not exactly the same. We were hidden for a long time. Aro does know we exist hence the reason for the stupid comments that Jane made." Nikki said her anger rising. She wanted to nothing more to than to pull Jane apart and burn the pieces especially after the comment about her sister.

Carlisle looked around at his own family and understood immensely what the elder vampire had done, He would give anything to keep his own family safe from others as he pondered the news tilting his head, "What are the odds of them attacking with you here?" he asked at last.

"Aro knows that if he attacks with me here there will be nothing left of the Volturi. My clan was the ones that helped put them in charge after the Romanians wouldn't do the job. I still wouldn't expect them not to try considering how bad I insulted Jane just now and her two side show freaks." Nikki said smiling brightly. She knew she had to keep herself calm as Jasper could feel her emotions and it wouldn't do good to send him to some vampire based loony bin anytime soon.

In other words... they got forced to a truce for the time being..." Alice said slowly stringing together what had been completed without the knowledge of them as well. "Interesting, Carlisle." she chirped bounding to her feet as she stopped short the glazed expression telling of the abrupt vision before she bolted from the room appearing with a sketchbook and a charcoal pencil as Jasper put his hand on her shoulder, Nikki would notice the calm around the other vampire as he did.

"What is it Alice?" Bella asked watching as Alice began drawing. Nikki watched too interested in how Alice's visions worked.

The image flying from the expert fingers wasn't in focus, but it was clear it was a fight of some sort and Nikki would recognize the blurry lines of her sister mid-way through an obviously intense fight, Alice had seen what her sister's 'other' job as they jokingly called it leading her skin to pale as her hand reached for her phone instinctively. "Uncle Jasper why's Auntie Alice's picture fuzzy? I thought pictures were clear?" Nessie looked up at Jasper confused.

Nikki looked at Jasper the fear of what was coming clear even without Jasper's senses. "I think this is something that might happen or might not happen Ness that's why Aunt Alice's picture isn't clear." Jasper said watching as Nikki began punching buttons on her cell phone.

The fact there wasn't an immediate answer caused the rising panic in Nikki's voice as at last a familiar, warm voice came on the line "What's wrong?"

"Sis is everything okay?" she tried to keep her voice calm but she knew that this picture wasn't a good sign.

"For now yeah, why?" The suspicion crept into the otherwise relaxed voice, "Everything okay down there?" Nikki could almost see her sister's easy sprawl across the large overstuffed chair in her room enjoying the quiet before the next storm in her existence, "Unless you count Theron and Lucien's chess match the world ending."

"Yeah sort of we had a visit from your favorite person and one of the Cullens that can see future events was drawing a picture of a huge fight sis. I'm worried that Aro's going to try something while I'm here." Nikki said her voice going fast but changing to a language that even Carlisle was having trouble understanding.

"Ah so the pint sized brat princess escaped the castle," Elyshia's voice sounded amused, even if she was unsettled by the news of the potential fight to come, "If he does, he'll answer direct to Theron...or me." she amended calmly, even as she understood what was bothering her sister. "What's your take so far on this whole mess the Volturi made with this clan?"

"She tried her insulting crap with me and you but other than that I'd say the Volturi really messed with this clan and I personally would like to have say Caius' head on a platter as well as the others." Nikki said noticing the look the Cullens were giving her suddenly. "I'd better get out of here as I'm still be interrogated since I had to give myself away to the Cullens." Nikki answered smiling a confident smile that all was well.

"That didn't take long," Elyshia smirked into the phone, "Course that too could have been Aro's plan. Cause distrust between them and you. I'll keep in touch, and if they show up again. You better call Theron. Meanwhile I'm going to put our plane on notice." Elyshia warned her sister calmly, making several contingency plans.

"I will. Tell father and Uncle Lucien to have fun with their chess game." Nikki answered hanging up the phone and smiling at the Cullens. "Don't worry I was checking on something at home. If there's any trouble my sister and father can usually head if off before it gets to where its heading." she added saying good by as they disconnected the call.

"Sister... that's twice you've mentioned her." Emmett commented relaxed as he played with the end of Rose's long hair calmly. His gaze told Nikki he didn't mind the least bit a prospect of a fight - even one as intense as the one Alice had drawn.

"She's not truly my sister but my father adopted her when she was a baby. We've grown up together and well she kinda looks out for me normally when I'm sent out. This is the first time we weren't sent together on an assignment." Nikki said sighing at the thought of another fight between her clan and the Volturi and the fact that now it involved an innocent coven.

"That's unusual," Carlisle admitted catching the questioning gaze from Esme. "Especially if said individual isn't vampire, even less often if that's the case. Adopting as we did you all... is common enough."

"She's not totally human either. It’s hard to explain what exactly she is. But I do want to warn you now she's got a bit of a temper when provoked so it’s always best to be on her good side." Nikki said giggling.

"Sounds like a laugh a minute,” Edward commented as he heard Nikki's thoughts and tilted his head a bit noticing that she was decidedly and concertedly blocking him from seeing what she was thinking about .

"She's really a good person. I hope though for the Volturi's sake that they don't try something because my sister's love for the Volturi goes only about as far she can chunk them and that ain't far." Nikki said.
At this Alice's head jerked up and she eyed Nikki carefully, "What's her name? Since ..." she trailed off holding up the most recent picture, this time fuzzy but clear of the same face looking out of what was definitely a familiar airplane window impatience and worry in the blurry lines.

"Her name is Elyshia." Nikki said looking at the picture her skin paling till she almost looked like she was going to pass out.

"Something wrong?" Carlisle asked as Nikki paled looking at the picture that Alice was holding then set down before her the pixie like creature tilting her head seeming absolutely harmless.

"It looks like my sister maybe coming to visit sooner that I expected. I won't lie to you we may be in bigger trouble than I thought and I'm afraid that it’s my fault." Nikki said her voice coming low.

Esme's brow quirked slightly at this, "And why would that be "your" fault? Jane showed up under someone else's order not yours."

“Jane was sent because I'm here which means that it could bode badly for all of you as well as for me." Nikki stated her eyes filling with tears. She was starting to really enjoy the Cullens and now she might lose them 'Damn Volturi why is it always them that's got to ruin my day.' She thought not realizing she wasn't guarding her thoughts from Edward.

She realized a second too late that she hadn't as Bella whacked his side harshly with a glare as she noted the look on her husband's face scowling, "You know you're not supposed to do that not to guests so knock it off." she snapped at him as the horror crossed Nikki's face.

Nikki looked down trying to recompose herself, “I'm sorry I wasn't meaning to rant so loudly and get you in trouble with your mate." she said trying to hide the tears she was now shedding.

"You're used to dealing with someone like him," Carlisle put the thought together carefully, watching her reaction, "Though Bella's right, its rude to listen in when someone is trying to keep to themselves," he gave Edward a light warning look.

Nikki nodded, "My sister can hear my thoughts and so can my father and uncle at least most of the time. It’s really my fault I normally just manage to shield my thoughts from everyone. I'm surprised I didn't give Edward a headache with my ranting though I normally do to everyone else." she answered her head still down.

Edward looked at her carefully, "Forgive me for listening in. Carlisle's right it is rude." he stated noticing her head down. It was obvious she was crying even with out smelling her tears.

"Not anything you did, I think loudly, at least that's what Elyshia tells me all the time. It goes with the usually bubbly personality. It drives her nuts sometimes." Nikki grinned faintly at the often repeated memory. "I really should learn to keep my thoughts to myself." she added trying to wipe subtly at the flow of tears.

"Want to try hiding that from someone who doesn't already know better?” Jasper said softly handing her the box of tissues using it to bump her hand gently so she'd look up at him the wistful expression familiar as well.

She looked up and smiled taking the tissues. "Thank you, I'm sorry it just makes me so angry that Aro can't leave well enough alone and has to send children to do his job." she said using a tissue to wipe her eyes.

"Unfortunately that's how Aro does things, preferring the puppet master role to the more proactive one." Carlisle sighed, "One of many things we disagreed upon once."

"I just want you to know that even if I've only been here for a couple of days that I've enjoyed my time here. You are what my father would call a true family. It’s rare to find that especially in the vampire world." Nikki answered her curiosity rising. Carlisle seemed to know Aro better than she thought maybe she could learn more about the man that her father tried so hard to keep her away from.

"The way I see it," Rose put in quietly, "You were given a job, and that was to find out about us, observe and not interfere. So you learned about us the best way possible, by, actually dealing with us. Observing good but it may not be enough especially with Aro's pulling his garbage again."

Nikki finished wiping her face and nodded at Rose. "Unfortunately I can’t guarantee that Aro won't try something with you all. I expect he's well on his way by now." Nikki stated looking at her phone's clock.

"He probably is," Esme agreed with a soft sigh, "And I think we'll deal with it one moment at a time."

"I'll understand if you want me to leave. It might be best if I did actually they might leave you be since it was me that insulted Jane." Nikki said looking from one Cullen to the next till her gaze finally rested on Carlisle. She knew the ultimate decision rested in his hands.

Carlisle seemed to be debating this for a long while and didn't say anything for a long time, too long in Nikki's opinion. "Despite it being you who insulted Jane, our ... animosity with the Volturi is not unknown."

Nikki nodded and her hope rose that he'd let her stay. She really was growing to like this coven or family as she thought of them. "I'm afraid if I stay it could be a death sentence for you all." Nikki said.

"Crossing the Volturi is an automatic one," Jake pointed out calmly, looking from Bella to Edward pointedly, "Can't be much worse than what they've been dealing with for awhile."

"If we're voting then I'm all for Nikki there staying. I mean if the Volturi wants to try something let them. We showed them up once we can do it again." Emmett stated grinning.

"It’s not a vote, one’s not necessary. Sending away a guest isn't our way. Never mind the connection to a Clan powerful enough to make Aro tremble let alone the others." Carlisle said.

Nikki smiled, "Thank You very much for letting me stay. I will contact my father if they show up again and let him know what Aro's doing. Maybe he can get Aro to leave well enough alone for the time being." Nikki said her emotions betraying how happy she was to be considered someone the Cullen's would protect.

Edward frowned slightly, picking up on the fringe yet of worrying thoughts as Bella hit his side again glaring a bit as he instead nuzzled her hair fondly wrapping his arms around her. "We look after those around us, even if they stink like wet dogs." he cast a poignant look at Jake.

Jake rolled his eyes and smiled, “Glad to see you still love me vampire boy." he teased. Nikki looked from one to the other her eyes following every movement.

"About like I love the sun." Edward muttered the possessive grip around Bella not relaxing even as his daughter stuck her tongue out at him completely content with what each of the Cullens considered 'her' place on Jake's lap.

"See Nessie I told you daddy would warm up to me eventually." Jake said as Nessie threw a pillow at her daddy, missing and hitting her mom.

The camaraderie, even reluctantly so between the Cullens and the wolf was apparent to Nikki who watched as the pillow fight broke out ardently before the elder two split the laughing 'kids' apart.
