“Sercian! Sercian! Get back here!” Loud thumping of sneaker clad feet drummed down the hall as well as the tiny taps of a lighter dress shoe clad feet. Girlish squealing and giggle could be heard echoing down the hall to Carlisle’s study. The older Cullen paused in his paper work before giving an endearing smile.
“That’s my Ipod Sercain! Give it back!” The older sister yelled loudly, her voice nearly a growl as she chased her sister. It was all in good fun though, Carlisle knew their precious Sky could have over taken the three year old far before the conflict even started, but she knew Sercain had a mischievous streak and enjoyed a good chase that would undoubtedly be followed by a long nap. He was snapped from his thoughts when he heard the door to his study creak open. A small figure with bouncing golden curls peaked around, giving him a large grin. He smiled back softly and motioned her in. She scrambled inside closing the door softly behind her.
“Ky gonna find me! Hide Sercy.” Carlisle could only shake his head in amusement before shuffling the small child under his desk and away from sight. Not a moment after ward the door to his study was jerked open, much less subtly then before. A thirteen year old Sky stood in the doorframe, her mismatched gaze darting back and forth before landing on him.
“I know you are hiding her old man.” She leveled a glare at him, it was a false façade and he knew it. He could see the amusement and laughter in her pseudo dark glare.
“Why Sky I am afraid I have no idea what you are implying.” He played along, almost chuckling when he heard a small giggle from under his desk. Sky heard it as well but continued the charade.
“Hand her over and no one gets hurt.” She smirked as she inched closer, her eyes alight with laughter.
“Oh my, Sky, what ever do you plan to do to a poor defenseless old man?” Sky choked back a snort of laughter at this comment her eyebrow quirked in her effort.
“I will just have to torture the information out.” She scowled darkly.
“She has something of mine and you dare to hide her from me…traitor!” She pounced, her nimble fingers digging into his sides and squirming in their effort to tickle him. He had to admit, as unmanly as it was, he could be tickled by a teenage girl, albeit one that was quarter vampire. He struggled weakly, letting her win, giving the occasional snort of laughter and false gasps of pain.
“If only someone where here to save me!” He gasped.
“I save you grampa Car Car!” And like a small ball of fury, Sercain charged from beneath his desk and firmly clutched onto her sisters waist.
“You let grampa go now Ky!” Sky released him easily and fell over in mock defeat, allowing her sister to crawl over her and sit firmly on her waste.
“Ky?” Sercain mumbled softly when she saw her sisters eyes closed, and her face slack.
“Ky! I sorry I promise…here take this, I sorry!” She pushed the Ipod onto her sisters chest as a medic would use a defibrillator.
“Ky!” Her voice trembled close to tears now, and that was all Sky needed to drop her act. Her eyes snapped open instantly before swooping her sister into a tight embrace, cooeing softly to her.
“Ky, you’re a big meany head!” This caused Carlisle to chuckle, children had an odd way with words to say the least.
“Kree, dona, Archainama ,Shelfton!” Rosalies voice cut through the house in a tremor to shake walls. Sky shot a look at Carlisle.
“Got any room under that desk for two?” Carlisle shook his head and chuckled.
“What have you done to upset your mother now?”
“Nothing.” She answered innocently, but her eyes strayed over the room avoiding his gaze.
“Sky…” He pressed only to be met with silence. Rose stalked through the door not a minute afterwards. Sky still sat on the floor holding her baby sister in a protective embrace.
“No yelling in front of Sercain.” She nearly growled at Rose. It was not often that the small slip of a girl took that tone, but by now all who knew her, knew it was a tone that meant business.
“You toilet papered your school.” Rose opted for hissing.
“You egged Chief Swans car…You called in a bomb threat on a fellow class mate, you caught the teachers lounge on fire!” Rose’s voice gradually rose until a soft whimper could be heard from Sercian, which was fallowed by an almost inhuman growl from Sky who leveled a no nonsense glare at Rose who lowered her voice instantly.
“All in one day…you little missy, are grounded.” Sky shrugged. Carlisle knew it was no punishment to her, she never did anything normal teenagers did anyway. She didn’t play video games, she didn’t like to watch tv, she didn’t like crowds, so really being grounded was of no real consequence to her.
“From La Plush.” Rose finished with a half cocked smirk. Sky’s eyes widened almost instantly. Now that decree WAS of consequence.
“But Aunt Leah was going to take me cliff diving.” She whined as she stood, taking Sercain with her.
“Should have thought about that before you decided to terrorize the town.” Rose cut her off.
“The town started it.” Sky whispered before making her way out of the study with Sercain on her hip.
“Is ok Ky, I play with you.” Sercain comforted as she laid her head on her protectors shoulder. Rose let out a deep sigh.
“I can’t win with her, I try to ground her, but seriously, what is there to ground her from? What am I going to do? Stop letting her read books and stop letting her have music lessons?” She slumped onto the leather couch adjacent from him.
“What’s worse is I almost don’t want to punish her. She is acting out, I know, and she has every right too. Those stupid humans and their stupid kids that just have to be complete dull brained cave men when it comes to someone who is a little…different.” Carlisle nodded. The towns children had been less then pleasant since Sky first began attending school. She already far surpassed her peers, the school curriculum was a joke to her higher intelligence, her family consisted of the most beautiful seemingly ageless people who never ventured out often, she had a tendency to forget her rapidly growing strength and speed. Her unnatural beauty made her a target for many a fellow school girls in their petty jealous animosity. All in all, the town was nothing more then a whirling black hole of mindless ignorance and close mindedness.
“Perhaps it is time we moved.” Carlisle’s voiced lowly. Rose snapped her head to him, her eyes glazing over in thought, her lips twitching slightly.
“We have been here far, far too long, Bella should have moved on from her human ties by now, and the towns people are beginning to weave tales about us and our ageless consistency. Sky needs a school that is better equipped to handle her aptitude for learning, a private school perhaps, that can mold her mind to less destructive tendencies, somewhere where she will be able to play as a normal child instead of in a town that already has an opinion of us, and therefore her. “
“But Carlisle, she won’t want to leave, not with the pack being here, and it is the only place she really knows. You see how she gets when she is in unfamiliar territory. She shrinks into herself and is in the defensive at all times. How can we move when she is just now getting over her phobia of people and all around contact?”
“She will learn in a new place Rose, ‘we’ will be there for her.” He pressed, intentionally excluding the pack of wolves that claimed her as their own.
“No…She needs them as much as she needs us, maybe more.” Rose said sadly as she slumped. A whirl of wind and a creak of the door alerted the two to another’s presence. They turned to find Alice beaming at them.
“It’s a perfect idea!” She exclaimed as she bounced down beside Rosalie.
“What…idea?” Rosalie managed to mumble out as she stared blankly at the smaller vampire.
“Sky stays in La Plush for a few years, with frequent check ups of course.” She added quickly when Rosalies heckles rose.
“No worries, I have seen the out come, she is visiting us in Alaska and she is WAY more open and smiling.” Rose stared blankly once more at her sister who sat beaming at them.
“What of Sercain? She is much too young to be left behind.” Carlisle interjected when he realized that Rosalie was still shell shocked.
“Well Sercain will come with us, she still needs her mother, and as I said before, there will be frequent visits on both sides, we will visit, and she will visit…when she has her speed down correctly that is.” Alice mumbled on.
Carlisle rolled it over in his head. Without he rest of the family present then rumors would die down leading to the oldest of sayings, ‘out of sight out of mind’. If they could enroll her at the reservation school then he was certain the children there would readily accept her simply because Sam claimed her as a daughter. She had already spent a fair amount of time with her other adoptive family, living with them during the summer and school breaks, so the residents where already familiar with her and seemed to enjoy her company over all. She was less prone to destructive behavior because the pack was always present with something more productive to occupy her…all in all…he had to agree.
“I agree.” He voiced, his gaze landing on Rosalie to gauge her reaction. She seemed torn between logic and her motherly compassion.
“It truly is for the best Rosalie.” He soothed.
“But she is my baby.” Rosalie sniffed.
“She will think I am abandoning her, just like they did.” He knew she was referring to Sky’s real family. Her mother had yet to visit, which could mean she is sticking to the plan of conquering her thirst, or that she had cast aside her human bonds. He doubted she had forgotten, and knew it was almost certain that they would be seeing her in the near future.
“Not if you explain it just right, I know how Sky’s mind works, it’s all about logic with that girl, let me do the explaining.” Alice reasoned as she stood. Rose cast a withered glare, the look was all Alice needed to understand she had Rosalies consent.
“I plan to see her once a month for a whole three days and those mangy mutts had better deal with it.” Rosalie huffed.
“I will call Sam over and we will discuss the arrangement then.” Carlisle offered as he stood and stretched, a completely unneeded action, but retaining his human habits made him more at ease with the fact that he was no longer human.
“There will be no discussion; those are the terms…end of story.” Rosalie laid down the law in a tone that left no room for adjustment.
“I am sure Sam will understand. He will just be overjoyed that he will take a more active role in her life now.” And how true that was. Edward had already filled Carlisle in on the Alpha’s thoughts. While the black wolf tried to give an air of indifference and a strong face, he really was a big ball of mush around Sky. He truly did see her as his own cub and his thoughts were always of her well being and safety. She was his perfect child. Strong, intelligent, took direction, and had a dominant personality that screamed ‘Alpha’ all in itself.
Sam strutted through the house with self assurance and sheer hyper joy as he hung up the wireless phone. Emily quirked an eyebrow at his demeanor before giving a squeal of surprise when he lifted her off the floor and spun her around, causing her to break out in a fit of giggles.
“And what, Sam Uley, has you so giddy this morning?” She finally managed to laugh out as he gently placed her back safely on the floor.
“Our young Sky is coming to stay…on a more permanent basis.” He waited with a broad grin through the shocked silence before wincing slightly when Emily let loose a high pitched squeal of delight, and then braced for the twenty questions he was sure would follow.
“When is she coming? Is it today? Can we get her today? She can pack later right? Do you think she will be hungry? Oh my, we need to get Pauls bags out of her room, how long is she staying?”
Sam’s head reeled as he gently placed a hand over her rapid fire lips, an endearing smile gracing his features.
“She is coming in three days, no we cannot get her today, she cannot pack later, she has to finish the school week, when is Sky not hungry? I will tell Paul that his imprint is coming to stay so he can stop crashing in her room like a dumb struck puppy and she will be staying until she chooses to leave.” Emily nodded fervently before rummaging through the freezer and pulling out a large selection of different meats.
“Honey, I said she would be here in three days, there is no need to cook now.” Sam chuckled.
“I know, but I imagine you want to tell the boys that she is coming, and I think it calls for celebration don’t you?” Sam’s eyes widened slightly…twenty some hyper happy werewolves…in the house…all at once?
“We better make it a bbq at the beach…” He trailed off. Emily stopped for a moment, before the same logic caught up to her as well.
“I always loved the beach.” She smiled.
“Bonfire night it is.” Sam agreed as he gave her a lingering kiss before heading out the back door, already shaking, although whether it was from his on coming phase or if it was from sheer joy, Emily didn’t know.
“I don’t wanna leave Ky…” Sky twirled her fingers in her sisters’ hair once more, watching the light dance on the golden tresses, her gaze blank, and her mind lost in thought.
“Ky?”
“I will see you every month…” She tried to sooth, but she knew there was no point. She understood the logic behind the decision, she truly did, but logic was not always a comfort to the heart.
“Sky…” Mismatched eyes trailed from their gaze on golden curls to land on the equally golden eyes of her uncle Edward as he stood leaned on the door frame, his face scrunched in concentration.
“Are your thoughts always such a chaotic mess?” He joked half heartedly, more then likely trying to lighten a dire situation, but Sky tuned him out, instead opting to lay her cheek on the top of Sercains head.
“Are you packed?” A slight nod was given in answer.
“They are here for you. Leah is with them…and Paul.” His voice nearly growled at the mention of the silver wolfs’ name.
“Why do you despise them so?” His golden eyes snapped to her mismatched gaze, the colored depths threatening and alluring all at once, he snapped his gaze away quickly as he felt the pull of her power begin to drown him in sweet promises.
“You need to learn to control that.” He mumbled more to himself then the young girl on the bed in front of him.
“Why stare if you know you will be caught.” ‘why control it? Why should I be the one to close my eyes when it is not my gaze I desire?’ Golden eyes snapped to hers again.
“Because it is bad manners to not look someone in the eyes as you speak with them.” He chastised softly, and as he finished he felt himself pulled back from the abyss her eyes promised. He smiled lightly.
“Good girl.”
“I am not a mongrel in which to please or be pleased.” She mumbled back half heartedly. Edward sighed, resigning himself to the idea that he would never understand her thought process. He could read her thoughts, as clear as he could read any others, but how she arranged things and classified them, as well as how she spoke in her head, were completely different from the thought processes of any other.
“Hurry, before that mangy mutt decides to come in the house. Esme will be less then pleased with the smell of wet dog.”
He turned and left, mumbling about his apparent dislike for the wolves at their door. Sky turned back to Sercain whose face was now streaked with silent tears and she buried her head in Sky’s chest. Sky smiled sadly before her eyes came alight. She quickly braided a strand of her long hair before using one of her un naturally sharp nails to severe it from the rest.
“Give me your wrist.” She whispered softly. Sercain looked at her strangely before offering her right wrist. Sky wrapped the braided hair around it several times, gently weaving a woven designed bracelet of it.
“Now some part of me, will always be with you.” Sercian gave the bracelet a long stare before her face finally lit up with a smile.
“Sercain give Ky one too?” Sky smiled softly before taking a strand of Sercains hair and repeating the action before wrapping it around her wrist three times.
“Now Ky has Sercy too?” Sky nodded shakily before wrapping her sister on one last tight hug, pouring every ounce of love she could into it before using her speed to leave the room, knowing she would be unable to take Sercain’s cries for her to stay, only a quiet whisper of wind giving away the fact that she had even been there. Sercain stared silently for a few moments, more silent tears falling down pale cheeks.
“I love you Ky.”
Sky stopped at the front door, a sad smile on her lips.
“I love you too Sercian.”
