(Pretend the blue is purple)
We head to the library as Carlisle recounts the history of immortal children for Bella. "What are the Immortal Children?" Bella asked as Jasper stands behind me.

"Children who are turned at a very young age," Carlisle informed her as he looks for a book.

"Why would anyone want to turn a young kid?" Bella asked.

"They can't be taught in controlling their thirst," Esme told her. "They remain in their child-like state."

"The immortal Children were very beautiful. So enchanting. To be near them was to love them. But their development was frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught or restrained. A single tantrum could destroy an entire village. Humans heard about the devastation. Stories spread. The Volturi were forced to intervene. Since the Children couldn't protect our secret, they had to be destroyed,"

Carlisle explained as he hands them a book on the Immortal Children.

"Their creators grew very attached and fought to protect them. Long-established covens were torn apart. Countless humans were slaughtered," Anthony added.

"I have encountered one several years after I was turned"

"Traditions, friends, even families. Lost." "The Volturi gave the order that the Immortal Children must be killed," Jasper told them. "This is the reason why Irina did what she did."

"So the Denalis' mother made an immortal Child?" Bella asked."

"Yes," Carlisle confirmed. "And she paid the price. This was before Jane and Alec joined. They used to have people just like them, same gifts. Mal and Ben, they were mates, lost in the vampire war"

I sighed, feeling bad for them. "So they killed her and the child," I sighed, to which Carlisle nodded.

"Well, Renesmee and Aurora are nothing like those children," Bella argued. "They were born, not bitten. They grow every single day. And what's the difference for witchlets."
