Edward, and the rest were coming home today, but Alice could not strike up the excitement to even throw together a 'Welcome home' party. Instead, she sat in Sky's room, talking with her. She had gotten stronger over the last week at a rapid pace, and Alice could only assume the speedy progress came from the slowly awakening vampire blood in her system. Leah and Paul had not returned and it saddened her every time Sky asked for her wolf companion. She couldn't bare to tell her that Leah was somewhere far off trying to convince another person not too hate her just because of what she was. As much as it would do Paul justice to tell her and let her know of his treachery, she couldn't bring herself to hurt the girl in the process, so she simply told her that Leah was off doing 'wolf' things and would be back soon. She knew Sky could tell that it was only a half truth, but she never questioned her. Alice thought that somewhere in her mind she was blocking out the idea that maybe Leah didn't like her anymore, which was far from the truth, but the truth would do her no good either.

"No the red one Sky…it brings out your eyes." Rosalie's gentle voice penetrated the fog of Alice's mind and she turned her head to where Sky sat holding up a lovely red dress covered in frills up to her small form. Rosalie had bought it for her. Alice already knew the girl would not like dresses in the least bit, and from the look on Sky's face she had been entirely right. Yet she knew Sky would wear it for Rosalie anyway.

"You look stunning." Rosalie cooed as Sky did a twirl for her, a bright smile on her face at the compliment which made Alice's face fall slightly. 'Did she never get such compliments…of course she was stunning, she could easily be Rosalie's real daughter had her hair not been a raven color and her eyes mismatched.'

"Aunt Alice?" Alice felt her heart constrict within her dead chest, it did so ever since Sky had began calling her 'Aunt' but it was not a bad feeling, it was an overload of happiness.

"You look wonderful." It was not a lie; Sky did look adorable in the little dress. Just like a doll, but Alice's mind was still wondering on the subject of the wolf pack so she could not appreciate it properly. Rosalie let a large smile grace her lips, when Alice had told her what Paul had done, she had been ecstatic to say the least. Sky was all hers now…and would remain so if the stupid mutt never came to his senses. A stiflingly warm hand brushed her shoulder where she sat on the couch. Her eyes travelled the length of the delicately small arm to Sky's face. Her mismatched eyes were searching her own golden gaze, but Alice turned away quickly, afraid of what Sky might find in her saddened eyes…that and if Sky's vampire blood really was coming to surface then the 'Anomaly' of her eyes would be stronger as well, and as much as Alice wanted to explore the heaven she knew she would find in them, she feared the repercussions. They would need to teach Sky how to control it soon, all the better that Paul had made his decision; the pack would not have the slightest idea of how to show a young one with vampire blood how to control their powers.

"Aunt Alice…" Sky's hand tightened on her shoulder.

"Am I in trouble?" Alice's golden eyes snapped to hers instantly.

"No…No sweetheart, you are perfect." She smiled to her, concentrating her gaze on Sky's eyelashes rather then her eyes. She was surprised to feel Sky crawl into her lap and snuggle up to her, her small head burying its self beneath hers.

"Tell me a story?" Alice let a laugh bubble from her lips. Sky had taken to asking for stories from them soon after she had gotten strong enough to start walking around, yet she never left her room.

"What story would you like to hear?" Sky snuggled closer.

"A pretty one, with a happy ending, and a princess, and a little sister, and a mommy." Alice laid her cheek on her soft curled hair, rocking her back and forth.

"Once upon a time, there were two beautiful princesses, who lived with their parents in a riverside castle. Everyday the two sisters would walk to the river and skip stones across the still water. One day while they were skipping stones, a turtle swam to them. "Why are you skipping rocks on such a pretty day? Why not run and play upon the meadow in the sun?" The older girl sat beside the river and held a stone to the turtle. "Why skip and play in the sun, if you can skip rocks along the riverside?" She replied. The turtle nodded his head, and swam away. The next afternoon they sat skipping rocks again, they sky was more cloudy and darker this day, this time a raven flew over head. "Why are you sitting along the river skipping stones, when you could be in the trees admiring the beautiful landscape?" The younger sister replied this time. "Why climb a tree when we can sit by the river side and skip rocks?" The Raven flew away, leaving one last Caw in the distance" Alice let a Cawing sound leave her lips, mimicking a raven, Sky giggled and snuggled closer. Alice continued her story after a soft chuckle of her own.

"The next morning found them once more skipping stones; the sky was dark with rumbling thunder this day. A wolf who drank from the river watched them, a hungry smile on his lips. "Why are you out skipping rocks on the riverside on such a day, maybe you should be back in your castle, safe from the storm?" He said as he approached, his eyes growing hungrier. "Why should we listen to a wolf?" The older sister replied, continuing to skip rocks. "Well Wolves are very smart." He replied as he grew closer, his teeth cut sharp in his mouth as he grinned. "Then why wolf, are you out on such a day with a storm on its way?" The little sister asked, her hand grasping at her older sisters dress as her fear of the wolf intensified the closer he got. "To find silly girls skipping stones and eat them up!" Alice grumbled deeply, portraying the malice of the wolf in the story.

"The wolf went too charged, but a stone hit him in his eye, blinding it. He glared with the other one, and charged again, but another stone hit his other eye, blinding him. "Now what will you find to eat wolf? With stones for eyes?" The older sister asked, just as the sky above let down torrents of rain. The wolf wondered blind the rest of his life, regretting the moment he met two sisters skipping rocks along the riverside. Now sometimes it is better to play in the sunny meadows, sometimes it is better to climb a tree and over look the land, but it is always best, to learn to skip stones." Alice finished. Sky nodded lightly.

"I can't skip stones." Alice could feel her pout and smiled.

"I will teach you then." She promised. Sky's small arms wrapped around her.

"Would I be able to get away from the wolf then?" Alice knew she didn't mean Leah or an actual wolf, but the monster that had spent most of her life beating her.

"No wolf will ever be able to hurt you Sky. Not while we are here." Rosalie answered for her, her smooth arms picking Sky up from Alice's' lap, cuddling her close for a long and gentle hug before setting her down.

"Now let's see what we can do with that hair." She laughed as she sat Sky back on the bed; her hands delving into the mass of light curls mixed with tightly wound ones. Sky's hair was certainly something to be envious over, Alice let the thought wander into her head, with its rich color and thick locks that cascaded down her back in those mired of different curls.

Leah sniffed another claw marked tree, her wolfish face curved in anger.

'Paul, I know you are close, you can't hide forever.' She thought out loud. She knew it didn't matter if he was next to her or a country away, she would be able to hear his thoughts, and he hers.

'Leave me alone Leah.' His voice was whispered and defeated, even more so now, a week from his stupid declaration of renouncing his imprint on Sky. Leah snorted 'as if he could renounce it.'

'I do renounce it Leah.' She snarled for what felt like the fifteenth time that day alone. She knew with every emotion that swept past her that Paul was in emotional pain to the point it was physical and he was doing no one any good with his pettiness.

'You know you can't deny her forever Paul. She is going to live forever…if I can help it.' Leah finished sadly. Alice's words still weighed heavily on her.

'I don't want her to die Paul.' She pleaded something that was entirely unlike her usual gruff and rude gestures and words. It threw both of them off.

'Please Paul?' She continued. Screw her reputation, she wanted Sky alive.

'The Cullen's will take care of her, I know they will.' He reasoned, but Leah could feel his resolve breaking just a bit more. She had gradually worn him down to this point over the last week, just a few more days and he would crack, she knew it, he knew it, but was it going to be soon enough?

'She's not like them, not even like Nessie.' Leah sent images of her time with Sky to Paul. How the little girl giggled and squealed in delight with every lick and bark Leah had given to her as a wolf. And every intelligent and awe inspiring conversation she had with her while they spent long afternoons basking in the calm. She knew it was a low blow, but she was desperate so she sent him the one conversation where they had talked about Paul.

Sky sat playing tick tac toe with Leah, and as much as Leah hated to admit it, the little girl was an ace at it.

"Three in a row." Sky smiled out for the seemingly hundredth time. Leah huffed and discarded their fourth piece of paper.

"Where's Paul?" Leah stopped mid reach of a new sheet of paper, her eyes widened slightly.

"You know remember who Paul is?" Sky nodded.

"He saved me from the water, and he talks…a lot." Leah chuckled a bit. She hadn't been sure Sky had remembered her brief talk with Paul nearly two weeks before, but apparently she had.

"He is patrolling." Sky looked at her in question.

"He runs around the woods and keeps the monsters away. Sky's eyes widened.

"There's monsters?! Like the boogeyman?!" Leah laughed loudly at this.

"Yeah I guess something like the boogeyman." She didn't want to tell her that they actually hunted vampires, the bad ones anyway.

"Then why isn't he checking under the bed and in the closet? Everyone knows that's where the boogeyman hides." Sky said as if it was the most common knowledge any one had, and Paul was an idiot for checking the woods, which Leah supposed was right...on both accounts. Everyone knew the boogeyman hide in little children's closets and under their beds…and everyone knew Paul was an idiot.

"He hunts the boogiemen that like to hide in the trees." Sky drew another 'X' before turning her attention to Leah, clearly not convinced that boogiemen where in the forest, and sticking with her idea that they were found in the closet or under the bed.

"We are the ones who walk to woods in search of little boys and girl." Leah growled lowly in false malice, making a mock scary face that had Sky in a fit of giggles almost instantly. Leah laughed lightly as well before selecting the spot to put her 'O'.

"So he is a good man?" Leah thought on the question a moment before answering.

"Yeah, he is a good man…but dumb as a box of rocks and no comment sense." She laughed out, Sky joined her.

"Is he a big puppy too?" Calling Paul a big 'puppy' might be a bit of a stretch. He was frightening as a wolf, vicious in his hunting, and passionate to a point where he could barely control himself.

"He will be to you, but he has to be mean to the boogiemen." Leah reasoned before letting a whine of defeat cross her lips as Sky drew another line connecting her X's.

"How do you always win?" She cried out, causing Sky to laugh again.

"It's easy. You just select two spots like this." She drew another board to play on and put down two X's.

"And if they other person doesn't catch you in time BAM, three in a row." Leah looked on amused.' The little cheat' she thought to herself, but in reality you couldn't really cheat at tick tac toe.

"So why doesn't he come visit?" Sky continued, Leah sighed. She couldn't very well tell Sky that he had been banned because he wouldn't take very well to the fact that she was a quarter vampire.

"He is really busy, but if you keep looking in the woods, you will see him run by at least once a day to make sure the boogiemen don't get you." Sky stopped mid X on their new game.

"He is going to keep me safe from the boogeyman?" Leah nodded before catching Sky's little trick and thwarting it.

"He is a big grey wolf, and he…likes you very much, and wants to keep you safe." Leah couldn't tell her that Paul actually loved her with his entire being because he had 'imprinted' on her and that he would never be far from her. She just didn't think it was a good time to tell her. That and the fact that she didn't want to seem like a liar if Paul reacted badly, which even though she had high hopes he wouldn't, everyone knew he would.

"I like him too, even if he talks a lot…I'm just scared of him, I thought he would be like the bad man." Sky whispered before drawing another line through her X's, Leah looked at her a moment, sad and angry at the same time.

"Paul would never hurt you, he's not like the bad man." She reasoned before looking to the paper to find that she had lost…again.

"AHHH, how do you do it?!"

Utter defeat swept over Leah as Paul whimpered loud enough for her to hear him with her ears. She trotted a few hundred feet to find the massive silver wolf laid on the ground in a sunken ball of shame.

'Are you like the bad man Paul? Do you want to be like him?' Paul turned his head on his paws and let his eyes travel to Leah.

'No.' He whimpered and Leah would have jumped for joy at his defeat, but for once, she wasn't in the mood to air out her victory. Instead she opted to lie beside him.

'She may have that leech blood in her, but she is not, and never will be one of them. She physically can't. She's not like Nessie, she doesn't like blood, in fact she prefers ice cream and anything that isn't broccoli' Leah chuckled as an Image of a determined and obstinate Sky filtered into her head as Rosalie tried to convince her that the nasty green vegetable was good for her.

'Will she really live forever?' Leah nodded, her head turning to lock with his gaze.

'As long as no one kills her, yes, she will never grow old, but she will need someone to protect her, always. She might be part vampire Paul, but she is ours, and I'm not going to pawn her off on the Cullen's as much as that pretty leech would love for us too.' Paul sighed; his big body drawing in a deep breath, making it seem all the larger.

'I still can't believe I kicked your ass.' Paul laughed outright now, some of his tension fleeing.

'Now let's go see Sky.' Paul nodded in agreement before standing and stretching, a slight wince on his face.

'God Leah, you are persistent, I thing you ran the pads of my feet off.' He half joked. Leah snorted.

'Well if you weren't such an idiot, we wouldn't be in this predicament now would we?' There was no malice in her voice, and a half cocked grin was on her face.

'No, I guess not.' Paul admitted before turning around to head back to La Plush, nearly 200 miles away.

'So you do admit you're an idiot.'

'Watch it Leah.' But his growl was only met with a laugh as she darted past him.

'Last one there has to take morning patrols for a month.' She called back.

'Damn she-wolf.' He grumbled before darting after her.

Sky stared out the window for the fourth time that day. She was still searching for her silver wolf, but for the past week she never saw him. Instead a mired of different colored ones blurred by, too fast for human eyes, but Sky's perceptive gaze caught them as if they were in slow motion. She went to look away when she caught a glimpse of something in the trees. It wasn't the color of the other wolves that darted past, but not silver either. It was small as well and easily hidden by the trees. She let her eyes glance around the room a moment, letting her mind wonder in childish curiosity. 'Mommy?' It was a hopeful thought. Maybe her mother had finally come to claim her and she had found daddy? Her eyes hardened with her determined decision. If her mother was out there, then she was probably scared of Alice and the others, she wouldn't know that they were like daddy and very nice, so she would want Sky to be a good girl, and come to her. She opened her door and peered down a hall that until this moment she had only caught glimpses of. Alice and the others were on the porch, Jasper and Brother Bear Emmett were preparing for a quick hunt before Edward and the others came home. She filtered down the stairs, her tiny feet very little sound, whatever sound they did make, would be drowned out by the nature outside. She wondered the downstairs, searching hallways for the back door until she found it in the kitchen. She gave one last nervous look behind her, her small pink lip drawn between her teeth before she turned the knob. It gave a slight metal squeal that human ears would not catch, but she was not trying to sneak away from humans. She let out a sigh of relief when no one came thought the doorway to the kitchen. She slid outside the barely cracked door and closed it softly behind her before her body darted to the forest again. Her eyes searching for the small figure once more, but it were no where in sight. She ran quickly to the woods, afraid her mother may have left. She knew she wouldn't leave little Sercian too long. But her mother knew she was smart, and would come find her, and then daddy would take them all away. The thought made Sky slightly sad for a moment. 'Would daddy let me come back to the ones who shelter the woods? To Alice, Brother Bear, and pretty Rosalie with her humming tunes of fright chasers?' She paused in her steps a moment, giving one last glance to the house behind her before her shoulders slumped in defeat. She had to go, Mommy and Sercian needed her, and she and Daddy had to keep them safe, forever and for always. She turned and ran again. Her eyes picking out the foot prints in the snow and following them hastily. Once more she ran through a white forest, and its barren trees, her small feet covered by Rosalie's pretty dress shoes, sheltering them from the cold this time. Knurled branches left her alone, Her body far to agile and strong to be snared by them now, they seemingly parted now, letting her track her mother in peace. Strength from all her time under the watchful care of the Cullen's lent her body new and invigorated strength making her run faster and more surefooted then the weeks prior. Her heart did not beat rapidly in fear, only excitement at seeing her family again. Soon enough her feet brought her to a familiar house tucked away in the woods, one that reminded her now of Hansel and Gretel and their unfortunate traipse through the woods one day. Bread crumbs had led her to a beast of a man's house. 'Why are mommy and Daddy at the bad mans house?' A slight fear crawled up her spine as the broken down log cabin lingered but a few feet away. She turned to run, her once childish hope that her mother had come for her all but dashed, now her once warm feeling of hope was replaced with the feeling of cold water being pored over her body, freezing her lungs and paralyzing her heart, causing it to skip a few beats.

"Where are you going?" A hand, a strong all too familiar hand, snatched her arm in a painful bone crushing grip.

"Alice!" She screamed out into the snow covered forest before the world went black.

"Alice!" Bella called in joy as she spotted the smaller form of her sister on the porch. Alice smiled back happily at her and grabbed her sister in a strong hug. Bella squeezed her freely, her newborn strength long gone.

"Ok so tell me all about this Sky? Is she a cutey? Oh I can't wait to meet her, I'm so happy that maybe one day Renesmee might be able to give me grand babies!" She squealed, Alice smiled tightly at her. She didn't want to tell her that more then likely only a male would be able to produce children since a females ovaries were clearly missing, or dead, but Bella had a tendency to live in her own little world sometimes, and Alice found out that just like when Edward left all those years ago...'stupid prat', Bella would continue to live in her fantasy land even if everything around her pointed to the real world.

"Well where is she?" Bella continued. Alice didn't have to see her thoughts to know that Bella would be more like a clingy older sister to poor Sky. She knew the girl wouldn't like her 'Aunt' Bella nearly as much as she enjoyed them, but at least it would be entertaining when Bella figured out that a ten year old girl, however much vampire blood was in her, was more mature…and sadly probably slightly more intelligent, then Bella.

"She's upstairs, she's kind of shy when you first meet her so…" Bella had already moved passed her completely ignoring Alice's warning. A sigh fell past the pixies lips as she turned to try and beat Bella to Sky's room, so she could at least give the poor child a fair warning. Bella reached the door just as she did, but her hand gripped the knob first. She sent Bella a tight lipped smile before calling out.

"Sky honey, Bella is here, she wants to meet you." She received no reply.

"Maybe she went to sleep; I know how tireless you are with playing dress up." Bella reason, Alice threw her an exasperated look. 'I'm not going to torture a ten year old girl, and I'm not that bad.' She glared as the thought went through her head.

"Well if she is asleep, we will just wait for her to wake up, and you can meet her then." Alice brushed passed Bella as she said this. She was happy Bella was home, she loved her like a sister, but just like all sisters, she could be annoying sometimes.

"Oh nonsense, I'll just be a minute." Case in point. Alice turned to stop her but Bella already had the door open, a perplexed look on her face.

"Where is she?" Alice nearly shoved her out of the way hoping that Bella was just being less then observant. Sky had a knack for being able to hide almost to a point where Alice once wondered if it was another ability, but had cast the thought aside when she realized that the poor girl had probably perfected the technique for survival at an early age, and did it now simply because it was a habit; but Bella was correct, Sky was not in the room.

"Rose!" The blond vampire was beside her in an instant.

"Did you take Sky?" Rosalie gave a quick head shake in the negative.

"And she took off her pretty dress." She pouted for a moment as she spotted the red dress laid out neatly on the foot of the bed.

"Maybe she is hiding in the closet?" Bella interjected. But both Alice and Rosalie shook their heads 'no'.

"She thinks the bogeyman is in the closet." Alice whispered in answer.

"Rose…find what clothes she put on." Fear made its self known in the pit of her stomach even as she spoke. Rosalie didn't take notice of the fear beginning to consume her face though she simply began searching through the closet, her hands finding an empty hanger a few moments later.

"That pretty blue shirt with the bear on it and…"

"The black sparkly jeans…" Alice answered. Rosalie's head darted up in confusion.

"How did you know?" Alice took an unneeded breath, her eyes darting from the hanger to Rosalie's gaze, her face crest fallen, and in shock. Rosalie caught on quickly and fear made it's self known across her features. Bella looked from one to the other, confusion marring her features, a stark contrast to the shock and denial of the two others.

"Guys, what's going on?" she butted in, but was ignored by both Alice and Rosalie. The other two seemed to be having a silent conversation in between themselves about something that Bella was certain was of importance, which irked her even more, since neither one would let her in on whatever it was.

"She was wearing it…in the vision…wasn't she?" Even as Rosalie asked, Alice could see that she already knew the answer, she just didn't want to admit it.

"We are too late." Alice whimpered. Rosalie growled lowly.

"Like hell we are too late." She blurred past Alice, stopping but a moment too hiss out a speedy command.

"I'm going to track her, you find that mutt, if he is the catalyst, then get him here NOW!" Bella found herself standing alone in the middle of the hallway a perplexed expression on her face not but a moment later.

"I have a feeling I totally missed something." She whispered to herself before taking one last look into the room.
