CHAPTER FIVE
HOME PHONE CALL

NOTE: Thanx Elyshia for all the im time you've spent with me hashing this thing out. Thank you to all that's reviewed or looked at this hope your enjoying the read.

"Well if you excuse me I'd better get started on my report to my father. If I miss even one day he'll send an army here to find out what happened especially if my sister told him about our visitors today." Nikki said getting up and heading up the stairs.

"And the odds of that are..." the questioning tone was concerned as Carlisle watched Nikki get to her feet easily.

Nikki turned, "Good if I know my sister. I'm surprised that she hasn't..." Nikki started when her phone let off a ringtone that caught everyone's attention. Checking the number she held up a finger and answered the phone. "Hi daddy what's got you calling?"

"I think you already know that answer," the restrained calm didn't betray the fact that Theron was controlling his fury as he knew his younger charge was preparing for her own task even as he spoke to his daughter.

"Daddy everything's fine. I sent Jane and her monkey friends packing for the time being. No one was hurt and everything's straightened out between us." Nikki answered.

"That's not the point," Theron replied firmly, "Be happy I was able to convince Lucien to stay put for the immediate time being. One more incident and I can't guarantee it or that I'll have to step in if your sister blows up the whole town." he chuckled despite himself at the idea of that.

"I promise if something happens I'll contact you. Besides Alice will see it before something happens. She’s fairly reliable in that aspect. Tell Uncle Lucien not to worry he trained me well and tell my sister to wait before coming I promise I'll contact you." Nikki pressed hoping to keep her family away till Aro made his move. She knew that if her family came it could cause undue stress for this family and they were already under enough of it just knowing about Aro's impending visit.

"You do realize the futility of making demands of your sister?" He questioned knowing that she knew better than anyone that fact, "As well your sister doesn't make herself known unless she wants to be. And dear... this time of year... you know how she gets. .." Theron trailed off not mentioning just what else had him indulging the furious younger female's demand.

"I do daddy. I just wish you three wouldn't worry so much about me. I can handle this even Uncle Draedyn thought I could." Nikki answered sighing. She was getting no where quick and she knew her father's temper could flare forcing her to come home sooner than she wanted to. She also knew enough to know everything he said was true.

"She'll keep her distance, edgy like a caged animal anyway." Theron warned her as he sensed more than heard the rapid steps a floor above his head frowning once, "And if you don't call about Aro's mod squad I'm going to be really angry."

"Yes, sir I'll call as soon as I know for sure that Aro's on his way to us or makes an appearance. Please daddy let me handle this for the time being though. I can do this." Nikki pleaded her voice cracking a bit.

"I'm not saying no," Theron sighed lowering his voice slightly, "Just be careful and do not break contact with us. I'll expect your report by morning."

"I won't break contact daddy and thank you for trusting me with this. I'll have my report to you in a little bit. Tell Uncle Lucien and Draedyn I said hi and love and have fun and win a chess game for me." Nikki said smiling.

"All right, Take care of yourself." Theron said clicking his phone off shaking his head at his longtime friend, knowing that the amber eyes were as troubled as he felt.

"You shouldn't have let her stay Theron you know what Aro's going to try as do we all." Lucien said his voice showing the worry plainly. He knew if Theron lost his only child it could and would kill him.

"I know that, and I also know that wildcat up there will tear the world apart before she lets anything happen to Kaashaa." Theron sighed rubbing his forehead with a hand.

Lucien sighed and nodded, "Let's hope Kaashaa has enough wits about her to call the moment she sees Aro." Lucien said sitting down and moving the chess pieces back into their starting position.

***

Meanwhile Nikki shut her phone off and turned to face the Cullens who had heard only her side of the conversation. "Don't worry my sister's coming but not going to be around unless I need her." Nikki announced looking at them.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Jasper asked warily picking up easily on the fact this troubled her deeply.

"It’s a good thing to a point because if Aro shows up then I'll have help before my father gets here." Nikki said trying to keep her voice and thoughts positive.

"Uh huh, good try." Edward said before being able stop himself to his wife's horror, "Want to try that one someone who can't see on your face this worries you."

Nikki looked at Edward, “Trust me the only thing that worries me Edward is that Elyshia will lose her temper before my father gets here and decide to blow the Volturi up." Nikki stated.

At this the recognition of the name and who the young woman was flared across Carlisle's face the shock of it apparent as he eyed her, "Now that is still spoken of here and there, with a mix of terror and respect."

"As it probably should be, she's not one to be trifled with especially by the Volturi. It’s because of her that normally at this time of year I'm not allowed to leave home even on a short errand around town." Nikki said lowering her eyes.

"Why's that? “ Alice asked her gaze transfixed on the image of the airplane but torn up to look to Nikki.

"It was around this time many, many years ago that the Volturi decided to slaughter all guardians or half breeds as they called us. They claimed we were an abomination to the vampire world and our kind was a danger. It was any excuse that Caius could make especially after the female he fell in love with told him no she wouldn't mate with him." Nikki said a spark in her eyes betraying the truth on the situation. "You have to understand my sister and father are very protective of me as is my Uncle Lucien." Nikki added looking at Jake.

"I'm not sure I follow why this would cause this reaction... “Jake heard vaguely the response from one of the Cullens as the last name mentioned began clicking in his mind, the ancestral memory firing off all right on that name His jaw dropping as he stared at her blankly.

"I am the last of my kind. There are no more like me. When I pass if I don't mate then all that my father stands for goes with me and the Volturi could ultimately take over even our clan. As for Uncle Lucien yes Jake, he's your ancestor the only werewolf to ever befriend a vampire before now that is." Nikki said smiling faintly.

Jake was speechless and the news rippled through the Quileute wolves with equally stunned reactions as the others understood why the possessive twisted almost hyper protective state of mind of the other made some sense as Jasper frowned once but said nothing able to sense but not pin down what was bothering the woman as well.

"I should probably tell you my true name maybe it would help you all understand who I am." Nikki said noticing Jasper's frown. "My true name is Kaashaa. I am the only child of Theron and Andromeda. That's why I said it’s dangerous for me to stay. Aro knows I exist and will stop at nothing to kill me and take over my clan. If you get in the way he will kill you all too." Kaashaa added watching the reactions carefully.

The collective breath was unsteady and Alice seemed thoughtful, instead of happy go lucky bubbling as Carlisle cleared his throat, "No decision should be made when emotions run high and minds are tired. We need to rest for a few hours before we decide what we will do."

Kaashaa nodded and turned on her heels heading for her bedroom. 'I really mucked things up good this time. I wish that Aro would just leave well enough alone.' she thought to herself as she turned on her computer and sat down getting ready to write her latest report.

'Now we both know that's too much to ask' Elyshia's voice said in answer to her thought chuckling once, 'I promise not to spoil your fun unless I have to.'

'I don't know if they'll ever trust me now. I was hoping to make new friends this time around. It seems like everyone I get close to either dies or has to stay away from me with the exception of you sis.' Kaashaa answered her voice sounding tired and sad.

'Well I read what you sent so far, these people might be a bit different.' Elyshia replied, understanding all too well the loneliness in her sister's thoughts, it was normal for -her- to be a loner, but for her sister, the need for a close knit 'family' was pressing on her again.

'I hope so. I really like these people and you would to when you get meet them.' Kaashaa answered smiling at the thought. 'I guess I'd better start writing my report to daddy before he has my head. How did Uncle Lucien act about me still being here?'

'Like a wolf with something stuck in his craw.' Elyshia sent back definitely amused, 'But seems determined to stick to my butt like he's glued there kinda irritating.'

'At least he's keeping busy sis.' Kaashaa sent back. 'You should know I told them my true name finally.' Kaashaa added wondering if totally revealing herself was a good thing.

'Not like it would be that hard to figure out. I mean Theron's never kept either of us wholly secret. Only way out of the Volturi’s reaches.'

‘I think I scared them a bit though. I just messed this total assignment up sis what am I going to do daddy won't let me go on another one again.' Kaashaa sent out sighing in frustration with herself. She had tried so hard to prove herself to be good at doing this stuff only to mess up something important boy this was one pickle she wasn't sure she could get herself out of.

'Theron's not stupid.' Elyshia said calmly smiling a bit and it showed through her tone, 'And he knows you wouldn't do anything you didn't feel you had to. After all it was beat into us that if you were deceitful with others it would bite your pretty rear in the end.'

'True I hope I keep them as friends. I really like most of them. The only one that doesn't seem to take most to me is Rose. Alice is so cool and so it Bella. Even the wolves are pretty cool although some of them can get annoying at times.' Kaashaa stated smiling at the thought of the pillow fight earlier.

'She's probably got her reasons.' Elyshia smirked faintly, 'Even if they’re in her head.'

'I hope she and I can become friends before this is over. You should see Emmett the man is so huge he’s bigger than Lucien when he's pissed.' Kaashaa said mentally showing her sister a picture of Emmett.

Kaashaa didn't need to be near to hear the laughter from her sister at the image, 'Talk about feeling pocket sized him!'

Kaashaa giggled. 'I like Edward even if he keeps getting into my brain at the wrong times. He's really nice and quite the gentleman especially when Bella elbows him. Carlisle I think even you'd like he's even tempered as is his wife Esme. I wish my mother had been like Esme.' Nikki said smiling as pictures of vampire family flashed in her head. She couldn't help herself from also thinking about Jasper either.

'At least you remember yours,' Elyshia said wistfully, 'Bad memories are better than no memories. Maybe I'll appear just so they know I'm not on anybody's side no matter who had a hand in keeping me out of the fire.'

'Try not to scare them to death. They have friends that are wolves. I think I freaked those guys out when I said Uncle Lucien's name too it was so funny talk about jaw dropper.' Kaashaa stated laughing aloud.

Elyshia grinned ‘Aww come on take away all my fun why don't cha?' her sister knew she wasn't upset in the least at the prospect, 'Seems maybe we will find plenty to learn from this clan as well as maybe share a few things.'

'I'm sorry I can't help but feel if this goes bad it's going to be my fault. I really hoped that they would accept me into their coven so I could learn more about vampires than what Ada has taught me.' Nikki sent back opening up her program and beginning to detail out what had happened.

'Can't control what other people do, you can only control what you do in reaction to it. Besides if they were going to just bounce you out I think they’d already do it. Relax would you - let things flow as they're going to and go for the ride for once.'

Before Nikki could respond to her sister a low knock came on the door making Nikki jump. 'I'd better leave now sis someone's at the door. Holler at me later though please.' Nikki sent closing her laptop but leaving the program running.

Elyshia blinked at the abrupt bolt of her sister's mind rubbing her forehead as she returned to her previous instinctive task of going through and checking over her own overnight bag to replenish and replace needed items.

Nikki crossed the floor and opened the door to find Edward and Jasper standing there. "Hi, is something wrong?" Nikki asked not looking either male in the eyes.

"Carlisle wanted to continue the talk with you without all of us, he's not angry so come on." Edward said with a smiled poking her shoulder.

Nikki smiled back, “I’m really sorry about this. I never meant to have to bombard you all with the information all at once.” Nikki said following Edward and Jasper toward the end of the hall where they stopped at a door. Nikki noticed the way that Edward knocked and stood back motioning for her to go in. "Aren't you two coming in too?" she asked.

Shaking his head he smiled once, "Nah when Carlisle says he wants to discuss things in private he means it. I figure Esme will be in shortly.”

“I feel like I’m going to my father’s office to get chewed on.” Nikki said giggling then opening the door. She smiled a good bye at both boys before shutting it and turning to find Carlisle seated behind a large oak desk.

He was relaxed and sitting with hands folded over each other on the desk studying her reaction the smile slight as he gestured for her to sit down, "I thought it might be easier to answer questions without feeling like the Spanish Inquisition was upon you. And you could ask your own this way.”

Nikki nodded, “It was getting a little crowded with all the questions going at once. Soooo…” she let her last sentence just drop and lowered her eyes in respect.

He eyed her with the faint smile growing to a full bright one, "Now now, around here we don't go much for formality... Difficult with Nessie anyway. What's on your mind that you drive my son to pacing like a caged cat?"

Nikki looked up and found herself smiling ‘So much like Ada’ she thought. “I guess I was wondering if you still want to go through with this whole observation now that you know who and what I am and what’s going to take place.” Nikki stated feeling herself relax and realizing that Jasper must be able to sense her emotions from anywhere in the house.

"The way I see it, your father and ..." he pondered trying to recall the name a moment, "Draedyn weighed all possibilities and this was certainly one they had to consider possible. They don't strike me as impractical, therefore why would we run you off when you've only just arrived?"

“You could say that it’s happened before,” Nikki stated sighing briefly. “My other concern is that I’ve told you all too much about myself, my family, and even why I’m here. I guess that everyone’ picking up on my nervousness. My sister’s coming here, my being here is a death sentence even though we said we’d protect you its still a potential death sentence for you.” Nikki said.

He turned and picked up a very large book and set it on his desk with a smile having expected just that, "What little has been ... announced shall we say about you two is in here... and yes I recognize that this is possible I also trust my family to do what they must to look after each other. All things have a circle, life... or unlife comes and it blooms and it dies. It's not the years we're given that make us who we are... but what we make of them."

Nikki smiled and looked amazed at the book. “Where’d you get this book? I’ve only seen one book like this before and well I can assure you it wasn’t where it should have been and if I ever get my hands on Caius again he’s going to lose a head and I don’t mean his top one.” She said running her hand lovingly over the book.

He smiled benignly and shook his head, "how it came to be here doesn't matter. The fact that it is tells me that the time is near that it'll be returned where it belongs. So what is it that has you apprehensive about your sister coming - or is it that you wanted to do this alone only?"

Nikki closed her eyes briefly thinking then after a few minutes opened them to respond, “I wanted to prove to my father that I’m not as fragile as what others have always thought me to be. I may be older than my sister but she’s stronger than I in her own powers. I’ve always felt…” She paused her eyebrows furrowing in frustration.

"Overshadowed?" The compassionate expression was a surprise though it shouldn't have been. "You're not fragile - far from it. More like... I'd say priceless and therefore to be protected. Even if that protector seems to draw attention."

Nikki nodded. “I had hoped that by coming here and observing that maybe you’d all would get close enough to me and let me stay here for a while. I want to get out experience life and maybe even eventually find a mate.”

She answered her eyes shining. “I mean I love my family but how am I to ever become more than I am if I’m always being guarded.” Nikki added. She suddenly thought about it and realized maybe now wasn’t a good time to flush out her personal intentions.

Leaning back in his seat he looked up at the ceiling with a small smile as he focused back on her, "Everything happens for a reason, and I would hardly call being guarded a terrible thing even if it causes some difficulty in some respects. It’s done with the best intent possible. Out of love. And in here... and in my home... no topic is sacred. Between Edward's telepathy and Jasper's empathy... there's very little room for secrets as it is."

Nikki nodded. She figured now she blew it and once this was over with she’d again feel trapped by what her father expected of her and what she felt right for her. “I can imagine that it can get annoying for both the person whose thoughts or emotions are being read and for those two.” Nikki said her voice lowering into almost a whisper. ‘Why can’t I keep my mouth shut.’ She berated herself.

"Because honesty is always best, and if others cannot handle that then it becomes their issue not yours. You can't control other people, but you can control what you do about them as well as what you react to them with. Be it anger, resentment or being proactive. Having your sister around may just prove the thing to push the Volturi's hand and we can discover exactly what they want sooner and minimize the danger." he pointed out gently.

Nikki nodded. Before she could say anything a faint knock was heard followed by the door opening. “I hope I’m not bothering anything?” Esme said coming in and going to stand by Carlisle.

Wrapping and arm around her he shook his head at her question, "Far from it... seems I've found myself an interesting puzzle that needs a lady's touch..." he went on to explain the brief conversation to her as well knowing that Esme was one that could be trusted with the conversation.

Nikki watched as Carlisle told Esme everything they’d talked about thus far. ‘She looks upset or maybe just worried.’ Nikki thought allowing herself to relax a little as the conversation drew toward a close.

'Would you relax?' the fond tone was back in her mind and reassuring, 'Worrywart. We both know in dire emergency that I can be there. They like you.' Elyshia's voice was calm, amused in fact but also the softer tone reserved for her sister again. 'Now stop it and see if you find what you're looking for at heart' just as quickly the presence was gone though it was a reassuring thing in itself.

Nikki took a deep breath and managed to compose herself in time for Esme and Carlisle to get a glance at her. "Did I miss something? I'm sorry my sister was calling me for a minute." Nikki said trying to not alarm either vampire.

"Thought so, you had that look before. Does she do that often or is it more spontaneous the way Edward's works?" Esme asked gently smiling, "And no, we were debating if we needed anything else for your room actually."

Nikki looked shocked. “My bedroom?” She asked almost forgetting the other part of the question. “Um no my sister can most of the time just holler at me and as long as I’m not distracted I can answer her. Its kinda like a cross between Edward and Alice’s.” She added.

At this Carlisle's brow quirked, "She's an oddity then... I’m impressed she's sane then... the book... well you already know what the book says." he said picking it up to hand it to her. "A gift of friendship for your father's library...where it belongs."

Nikki smiled and took the book holding to her chest. “Thank you, this was my father’s personal diary at one point everything ever written in here was true and kept so that others could know about us. It’s good to have it back to continue the story.” Nikki stated closing her eyes to hide the tears that were threatening to leak out.

Carlisle nodded, "Aro will be angrier but it's the right thing.." he blinked after a moment and put two and tow together suddenly as the shock "Then that means.." he trailed off as Esme gave him a strange look.
Nikki didn’t respond openly just nodded her head at him. She could tell he had figured out just how Aro and the Volturi had come to get their hands on something so precious to her father. After a few minutes she spoke, “Yes, what your thinking is true.”

“Carlisle what is it?” Esme asked seeing the almost shocked look on her mates face and the way that Kaashaa only nodded at him.

"Two things... our guest is ... ancient .and two...this particular feud is older than we are. This means we will have to be careful - we know Aro’s ruthless at times. Theron is," he gave Nikki and apologetic look, "Known for being calculating and cold. Yet that he took on a child... with the nature of her sister's... Fascinating..."he trailed off leaving a still puzzled but somehow reassured Esme and Nikki behind.

She looked at Esme, “I hate to use the word ancient but let’s just say I remember when the world was more Elves, dwarves, and such and not as many humans and technology. It was a place where a young guardian as myself could be free to run as a unicorn or as a human with bare feet.” She said smiling as the memories of childhood wafted back to her easily. “Also yes, this feud is old. If I had done what Caius had wanted I’d have only ended up a servant under the Volturi who were already looking for an excuse to take over my father’s clan. I knew I couldn’t just mate with anyone it wasn’t in my nature to give myself until I found the one I was meant to be with.” Nikki added the smile fading to slight disgust at the thought of Caius.

Esme nodded, "And I’m going to guess your ... Sister had opinions of the loud side against Caius?"

Nikki laughed, “That is putting it mildly. Ada thought that my mating would help both our clan and the Volturi. Unfortunately my sister is kind of like Edward in that she heard the real reason why Caius wanted me. I basically was nothing more than a whore to him something for experimentation. Needless to say my sister had a conniption fit and told me that’s why I told him basically to go bite himself.” Nikki responded her eyes showing she was remembering the conversation.

"I'd call it fortunate to have a sister who'd been there to keep you on the better path, even if having a sister drives you crazy. I love my children - all of them. And I like you." Esme said putting an arm around her shoulders as they walked, "And my children like you even now they squabble over what to do this evening and who gets to meet your enigmatic sibling first." she smiled fondly, "They can't help themselves."

Nikki smiled, “I love my sister I truly do. I like you all so much too. It’s been so long since I was around anyone close to my physical age I’d almost forgotten what it was like. Are you really going to let me stay here with you all?” Nikki said glancing at Esme.

"Why wouldn't we?" Esme smiled lightly, "I'd be uncomfortable for you elsewhere with what you are. And as I said, my children are fond of you already and squabble like very young children no matter how old they are." she grinned faintly expertly separating a rough housing Edward and Emmett, "You break my couch again I break skulls." she said sweetly.

Nikki laughed loudly sitting down between Alice and Bella. “I would pay to see that you two.” She stated as all three girls busted up laughing. Even Jasper who was sitting on the arm of the couch cracked up.

Within the next hours, Nikki truly found herself enjoying the company of the whole coven though she noticed - without appearing to have which took care that the males in the clan were occasionally watching her though Jasper almost seemed to be doing so more than the others, curious... a little afraid she thought and who could blame any of them? The legend of her sister preceded her and made her out to be much more a monster than she actually was... unless someone crossed her. In that case Nikki mused; they were completely on their own.

Keep hanging in there next chapter we meet Elyshia and the Volturi come for their visit I mean harrassment. Watch out cause we may be changing mates in this next chapter for some characters as well.
