Just for the record the songs said to be played here are owned by their respective bands (Metallica and Bon Jovi). They are just mentioned cause they reflect the mood.
Morning came and the fortress home was quiet, too quiet Elyshia decided as she dressed for the day in a warm wool sweater and dark pants again stopping to pull on her favorite beat-up boots as the first outraged shriek echoed down the hall "Good morning," she grinned to herself, "Now to go pretend to know nothing..." she said striding to her doorway to observe the fray to come.
As she stepped into the hallway several doors banged open loudly and the first sight she saw was Acie and wisely blanched at the look of pure fury as she rounded on Elyshia "Just what in the unholy abyss is the meaning of this!" she demanded loudly enough to wake the dead, let alone the living dead, as Elyshia looked up at her mildly.
"Seems to me you picked up the wrong bottle there, Acie were you in a hurry today?" she asked mildly playing her part flawlessly even though she wanted to scream with laughter inside.
Acie growled, “Just wait till Theron finds out.” She snarled at Kaashaa as she came out of her room followed by Jasper both of which burst into laughter.
“Acie, you know its just paybacks for the nice bright pink you made me. What was it you said to Emmett if you can’t play with the big dogs comment?” Kaashaa finally got out still snickering at her.
Acie growled again and stormed off fuming and angry as she went off presumably to find Theron and rounding the corner the tenuous hold on the giggles shattered and the laughter erupted from Elyshia's lips.
Jasper looked from Kaashaa to her sister then back at Kaashaa. “I take it she’s a sore loser?” he asked chuckling again before hearing bellowing that could only be from Emmett followed by a loud growl from Rose.
Swallowing hard Elyshia nodded, "Something like that, but this should be better...” she said with a faint snicker waiting for their appearance.
Emmett came storming out of the room shirtless causing Kaashaa to sit abruptly on the floor in laughter. “What the hell did you do to me Kaashaa?” He snarled glaring at her then Jasper not realizing Elyshia was standing there. Kaashaa cracked up even more as Rose appeared snorting in anger behind him.
The stunned silence of the others was as alarming as Kaashaa's hysterics - Elyshia looked remarkably nonplussed which only upset Rose that much more though she swallowed once, "Now, now I do know I'm not that much of a blonde when it comes to my supplies… tell me you didn't pick up something of mine too?" She purposefully eyed her sister,” Or did you go raiding in my room again?”
Kaashaa finally calmed herself to look up at Emmett then her sister, “I told you I’d get even with you Emmett. Elyshia and I are the prank masters. Yes, I thought purple would do nicely for Emmett. It brings out his eyes.” She said dissolving into laughter again as Edward, Bella, Demetri and Alice showed up. “Besides,” She continued stopping laughing long enough, “I had help with this one.” She glanced up at Jasper then at Edward and finally Demetri who just smiled.
“How could you two do this?” Rose demanded her eyes leveling a glare on both Edward and Jasper.
Jasper smiled sending a calming wave toward Rose. “Now Rose you don’t even know the whole story. Emmett only got what he deserved.” He answered the smile never wavering.
“From what I hear you should thank Kaashaa and Elyshia they didn’t turn him red and they can get that off him Rose.” Alice said as Bella just nodded trying to hide the laughter.
Rose rounded on Elyshia first who merely quirked a brow, "I can take the hit Rosie dear but can you take the fall?" she queried innocently pointing out that while she might've been smaller the petite creature packed a punch, "Besides I didn't ask what she wanted the colors for only filled the order like any good mad scientist."
“So someone going to tell me just what the hell Emmett did to be purple?” she snarled her eyes glaring from Elyshia down to Kaashaa who sat on the floor trying to breath through the giggles that kept coming.
Elyshia smirked and pointed at Kaashaa as she turned toward the stairs nearby, "I don't really know but I imagine it has to do with the cold shower she got to "cool off" for playing with Jasper.” she said mildly flashing an evil smile at Emmett, "Nice to have royalty in the house again."
“Actually Rosalie it has to do with the fact that your mate there thought that he and Acie would have fun dying me a bright pink. I warned him I would get even only I didn’t say when and how.” Kaashaa got out getting up and smiling at Rose as she turned to look at Emmett.
Rose turned a glare on Emmett, "What does she mean you turned her bright pink Emmett?" she asked her eyes narrowing.
Emmett smiled trying to use his charm on her, "Babe, Acie said it was a harmless prank and Kaashaa would get a laugh at it. If I thought for one minute..." he started stopping as Rose growled at him.
"Uh huh," Rose glared, "Harmless... you took the word of a barely-known vampire and did something you weren't wholly sure was safe and that someone would find it funny?"
“It was funny for a bit.” He said as he and Rose turned as Kaashaa doubled over laughing so hard she had to gasp for breath.
Taelon stepped out into the fray from his own rooms shaking his head at the sight before him, "Entertaining as you all are, Elyshia had the right idea, dinner waits for no one. Even if you're just keeping those of us who require food company." he said mildly.
Everyone nodded. “I’m not going into the dining room looking like this. Kaashaa give me the antidote.” Emmett said looking over at her.
"Not a snowflake's chance in one of Elyshia's fireballs." Kaashaa smiled controlling herself enough to get to her feet fully and bound merrily toward the stairs, "See you at dinner."
Emmett growled going after her. “Come on Kaashaa I can’t go in there looking like a blueberry.” He said as she kept ahead of him.
“No, you deserve everything you got Emmett.” She answered going into the dining hall and stopping long enough to kiss her fathers cheek and say hi to everyone before heading toward her end of the table.
Elyshia had already settled into her chair and was cheerfully demolishing a portion of soup not looking at anyone though the reason was clear the want to laugh was clear as sunshine on her face.
Emmett paused just outside the door before getting shoved into the room by Demetri. Everyone turned as Emmett came crashing in. “Good Heavens, Emmett what have you been doing?” Esme asked looking shocked at her oldest son.
The others just took their seats leaving Emmett standing before all the adults glaring at the end of the table at Kaashaa. Before anyone could turn to ask Kaashaa why he was glaring at her Acie arrived. “Well Acie I see you got a new color going for you?” Lucien said chuckling.
Acie growled and took her seat seeming to be furious but the fact was it WAS only hair and it would eventually wash out or one of the two some would relent. And it wasn't as if she hadn't started it... "Yeah seems I picked up the wrong bottle after all today."
Theron chuckled watching as Emmett went to take a seat before turning his attention on Kaashaa and Elyshia. “You two do plan on giving them the antidotes?” He asked though trying to be stern the light in his eyes betrayed the amusement he hid at his daughters prank.
"I'm innocent." Elyshia replied, "All I did was make sure the mixtures were properly made. Anything else and my hands are clear." She smirked faintly "So's my conscience."
“Yes, Dad I’ll make sure that everyone’s returned to their right color but only if they agree no more pranks on me and no retaliation on Edward, Demetri and Jasper.” Kaashaa said smiling at Emmett who if he were human would be blushing.
Emmett nodded his head. “I’ve learned my lesson no more pranks on you because you don’t play fair. I can’t say I won’t get the other three back but I’ll be good while I’m here.” He answered.
Kaashaa nodded at him and tossed a bottle which he caught. “Use this when you shower it will take the dye out in one setting trust me I could have done it longer but I was being nice for Rose’s sake. If you plan on getting either of the boys back just make sure I’m not involved.” She turned to look at both boys, “Sorry but I’m staying out of family pranks at this point.” She grinned.
“I don’t think there’s no need for pranks on anyone else. Emmett leave your brothers and Demetri alone and behave yourself.” Esme stated catching every one of the kids attention. “Remember what happen the last time you tried pranking Edward.” She added glaring at both boys.
Emmett glared at Edward but said nothing only nodding his head. “Now then if we’re ready we want to talk with you all about the incident in the meadow.” Theron stated putting an end to the whole prank business.
“What’s happened?” Kaashaa asked her fork halfway to her mouth. She didn’t like the look in her father’s eyes. “Did you find something daddy?” she asked glancing briefly at Jasper.
Elyshia looked at him wide-eyed and blinking a few times, "What about the meadow exactly?" she asked cautiously her guard coming up almost visibly before them.
“We need to know exactly what happened and what was said by Felix before we arrived?” Carlisle asked turning his own gaze on Elyshia, Kaashaa and Taelon.
"Before or after insulting Demetri" Elyshia countered carefully.
“Just tell us everything that happened. I have a feeling that we’re about to come into contact with Caius and from Aro told me he’s bent on taking Kaashaa with him as well as getting revenge on Jasper for what happened.” Theron said rubbing his temple out of habit.
"Well as we all know Felix follows Caius like a lost puppy - Sorry Lucien but its true." Elyshia flashed a fangy smile at him "But I didn't see all of it, though him having that rope tells me we're in for a crash course with Caius sooner than later."
“He basically came up on me and told me I was going with him to Caius and if I fought him that he would use the rope. I mean he made lame threats and stuff and I basically told him he was a dumbshit but that was all. He also got mad when Kartholin and Demetri showed up. He insulted Demetri because Demetri stopped him from using the rope on either of us.” Kaashaa added shuttering involuntarily at memory.
"Who’s' that?" Esme asked as she looked between all of them as Elyshia shifted uncomfortably with that turn of topics.
“Kartholin is a male unicorn that has the only herd that we know of in North America. His herd came to us when Kaashaa was real little and we let them help teach her about one side of her heritage. He’s a young male. His father was one of my and Amelia’s closest friends.” Theron said keeping the fact that had Kaashaa not fallen in love with Jasper she was to marry the young male as was Unicorn tradition.
Elyshia nodded pushing her plate away and settling back in her chair with the half-full glass in her hands "Old enough to be wise - and a bit of a wiseass if the mood strikes and still pretty close to Kaashaa as a matter of fact."
Jasper could feel Theron wasn’t telling everything and from Elyshia’s answer there was more to this male however he knew now was not the time or place to be asking more questions. “So did he say where he was supposed to take you to meet up with Caius?” he asked turning his attention to Kaashaa.
Kaashaa shook her head as she saw out of the corner of her eye Elyshia's fingers itching at the chain around her neck, "No. only that I was to go with him."
Theron nodded at Carlisle as if a silent question between him and Carlisle had been answered. “Okay, for now Kaashaa you’re restricted to just the grounds around the house. Anyone else we want you going in no less than pairs. I also want at least one of you around Kaashaa at all times. I’m not taking any chances of Caius getting her this time.” He said. He stood up as if the end the conversation and any argument that might be in the making and left with Amelia, Carlisle and Esme behind him.
Kaashaa sighed, “I hate this. Can’t the damn thing get it through his head I don’t want him. Great now what am I supposed to do with my time?” she muttered more to herself than aloud.
Elyshia looked at his back and shook her head "Ill go where I have to - and some things I do alone." her voice took on a cold, blade edged iciness that made it clear she wasn't brooking argument but making a firm statement.
Everyone left the girls alone with their thoughts knowing both girls weren’t happy. “So Kaashaa you promised a tour shall we?” Alice asked trying to get Kaashaa distracted.
Kaashaa nodded, “Sure, I’m sure there’s got to be something you guys haven’t seen of this place yet.” She answered smiling as everyone got up and left. Kaashaa kept an eye on her sister knowing at any moment she would leave for what her duties were.
The group wondered out of the dinning room heading down a long hall. “Hey, Kaashaa who’s this?” Bella asked pointing toward a picture down a new hallway they came to.
“That’s Elyshia’s real mother and mine mom before daddy found her as a human stopping to look at the picture. It was a medium size painting and everyone could tell it was very old.
The resemblance was striking - other than the fact that unlike Elyshia's gaze which was often cold and distant the blue gaze was warm, welcoming and full of laughter. "Well you can see some of her in there," Jasper pointed out pointing to the heart-shaped features and the eyes of a different color though the shape was the same yet.
Kaashaa nodded and smiled, “Elyshia has the same look from time to time when Spring isn’t around. Our mothers were best friends.” She answered starting on.
The others followed gazing at the different pictures. “Is this Elyshia as a baby?” Edward asked pointing toward yet another picture halfway down the hall. The picture was almost the same as before except that it showed a very pregnant Amelia and the woman from before with an infant in her arms.
“Yes, that was taken right before my mother had me. They say this is the last portrait that was painted before sis’s mom got killed.” Kaashaa answered her voice suddenly sad.
"It changed both of you," Jasper said with a small smile, "And for some purpose maybe not found. I don’t think she was always as... difficult to read...”
"Speaking of Miss Merry Sunshine herself where'd she go off to this time?" Bella asked noticing suddenly their number had shrunk by one.
“She most likely went back to her room. She doesn’t travel much down this hallway during this time. The memories are hard on her. I personally don’t remember Elyshia’s mom all that happened while I was young. I wish though you had met my sister at a different time she really isn’t like this all the time.” She answered favoring everyone a small smile before going to the doors and opening them. “Welcome Cullen family to the White Mountain library as known as mine and Elyshia’s second home.” She added her smile widening.
Everyone entered amazed. The room was basically wall to wall books with a piano set on one side and a wide desk set on the other. “I thought you and Edward liked books Jasper but damn bro they’ve got you and Edward beat. Even Carlisle doesn’t have this many books.” Emmett answered smiling.
Jasper rolled his eyes at his brother. “I was told the library was big but this is almost its own building.” He answered wondering away to look at the books on one side.
“Who plays the piano?” Edward asked grinning. He turned to look at Kaashaa.
“I do sometimes. I like to relax and this was one of the many things I learned. Go ahead everyone make yourself at home.” Kaashaa answered turning to sit on the piano and begin playing whatever came in her head.
It was Bella who noted the large, ornate floor harp and stool standing to the side, it being obviously at minimum antique even if her curiosity led her to touch the rich wood of it, "What's this?"
Kaashaa stopped playing for a moment to turn and smile at Bella. “That is a floor harp made when Elyshia and I were only 10 and 11 and my sister’s favorite musical instrument.” She stated getting up and going over to it. She sat on the stool and played a few notes letting the sweet sounds resonate throughout the library. “Maybe one of these days I can con my sister in to playing something for you. I’m only a novice at this.” She added getting up and going back over to the piano.
"Good luck with that one," Edward commented with a curious look at the instrument, "She's like predicting the weather lately."
Kaashaa giggled, “That’s true. But on rare occasions she comes here and plays maybe we’ll get lucky and she’ll come in one day before…” She stated not finishing the fact she realized that soon they’d have to leave. She wasn’t sure if she’d be going with them or if her father would keep her here till all the mess with Caius was done. “Speaking of weather? How are you guys at baseball? I over heard the adults talking baseball if the weather cooperates.” She added smiling then playing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball game’.
Everyone smiled, “Is this like a Coven vs. Coven thing?” Emmett asked grinning evilly.
“Only if you want you ass handed to you Emmett. My family plays one hell of a baseball game.” Kaashaa added suddenly playing Master of Puppets then changing midway through to Don’t Tread on Me.
Alice grinned. Only she and Bella knew exactly what Kaashaa was playing and neither realized that Kaashaa even seemed the type to listen to that kind of music. “A fellow Met fan I see.” She said grinning as Kaashaa chuckled then went into Unforgiven.
“I like them a lot of course my personal theme song besides those three is this.” Kaashaa added playing the opening for Wanted Dead or Alive which caught Jasper’s attention.
“What else can you play?” Edward asked as Kaashaa suddenly went into some symphony by Beethoven.
“I can play almost anything I listen to just depends on what I’m in the mood for.” She answered as the door open to admit Theron, Amelia, Carlisle and Esme.
Theron shook his head he had heard what Kaashaa had been playing and knew she was in a good mood. “So anyone up for some baseball?” he asked looking at the kids.
“Oh yeah,” Everyone replied.
“So are we going to play us vs. the Cullen family are we splitting the teams evenly?” Kaashaa asked grinning from Theron to Carlisle.
“We thought we’d try guys vs. girls actually.” Carlisle answered watching as the girls giggled and the guys high fived.
“Oh you guys are so dead then.” Kaashaa stated as everyone left to get ready for the game.
