Seraph

116

A young man and woman made their way toward the Volturi. When they neared, they stopped with considerable distance between themselves and the group they didn't know. Alice made her way to them. She gave them a reassuring smile before turning back toward the Volturi.

"I've been searching for witnesses of my own among the Ticuna tribes of Brazil," Alice grinned back toward the kings.

"We have enough witnesses," Caius spat.

"Let him speak, brother," Aro interrupted, earning a confused look from Caius. But Aro was looking for any excuse to avoid the future he had seen. He'd jump at the opportunity if there were a way to prevent it without looking weak in front of their witnesses.

"I am half human, half vampire. Like the child," the young man said.

Serafina sighed in relief. She was worried he only spoke Portuguese. Although Rosalie always tried to encourage Serafina to learn other languages, Serafina never wanted to. She didn't even try. She just stayed the course with English and Spanish. She wasn't as dedicated as Rosalie, who learned Spanish for her, and she started teaching herself French and Italian, just in case. But now that she thought about it, she figured she would try to learn more to match her wife. She was soon removed from her thoughts when the young man kept talking.

"A vampire seduced my mother, who died giving birth to me," the young man said.

"Disgusting," Serafina scoffed, "Only a truly disgusting vampire would risk breaking their human."

Several snickers could be heard from her family and some Volturi as Edward slapped his hand to his face in embarrassment. Bella glared at Serafina from across the field.

The young man didn't know what to make of Serafina's interruption; he only gave her a slightly confused look before ignoring her and continued, "My aunt Huilen raised me as her own." He said, gesturing toward the older woman by his side. He then continued, "I made her immortal."

"How old are you?" Bella interrupted as she stepped toward the young man. Her desperation was evident. She never stopped worrying about Renesmee's unprecedented growth rate.

The young man turned back to answer her, "A hundred and fifty years," he said.

"At what age did you reach maturity?" Aro asked curiously.

"I became full-grown seven years after my birth. I have not changed since then," he answered the king. His answer relieved Bella as she looked toward her daughter with a smile. This news didn't just affect the small family of three. The good news extended to the others in their family as well. Everyone had been worried for some time now about the youngest Cullen.

"Only a pedo would imprint on a child that looked like an adult at age seven," Serafina shouted to nobody in particular, though all Cullens and wolves knew who she was speaking to. Jacob only growled in response. Though they couldn't understand what he was saying, everyone knew he denied her claims, always insisting it wasn't romantic.

"And your diet?" Aro continued his questioning.
