Chapter Four, Awakening

"They're my mates Uncle Aro." Ardelle explained softly. Aro stopped on the stairs from where he and Caius were glaring at the two vampires before they turned towards their niece looking from her, the members of the Guard that went to sort out the problem in Forks to the newborn and the brawny vampire from the Cullen Clan. "Would someone like to explain what is going on?" Marcus asked ice cold fury in his voice.

"We let Elle go with you four," he said pointing to Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri. "To sort out the problem in Forks and not only do you bring back a member of the Cullen Clan but also a newborn. What the hell were you thinking!" Marcus snarled.
"Dad it wasn't their fault." Ardelle tried to placate not only her enraged father but also her enraged uncles. Once she had gathered their attention she took a deep breath to steady her before she continued. "When Edward and his bint started questioning me Alec made me introduce myself and I felt a pull in my chest towards Emmett and Riley. I don't know how they came to be here as Uncle Felix picked me up when he saw me yawn and held me on his hip," Ardelle paused to glare at said vampire who raised his hands in surrender but it was ruined by the smug smirk spreading across his face.

"You fell asleep as soon as I'd picked you up did you not?" Felix questioned with a raised eyebrow. Ignoring him Ardelle turned back to her dad and his brothers. "Okay I admit I did fall asleep but only because I haven't been sleeping well." She reluctantly admitted. "You can see my memories of what happened Uncle Aro." She said holding out her hand.
"Wait," Emmett said causing everyone to look at him. "How come Aro can read your mind but Edward was unable to?" Emmett questioned.
"That is because our niece is special." Caius answered snidely. "Aro can only read her mind if she lets him otherwise his powers don't work. Elle is able to block her mind from intruders which is why Edward can't read hers." Caius told him spitting Edward's name out like a curse word.

"No it is quite alright my dear," Aro said as he ran his fingers gently down his niece's cheek. "I can see in your eyes that you tell the truth and I know you never lie to us. Why don't you head off to bed to get some sleep, we will get you once Sirius has fed and that we are certain he has no desire to feed from you. Now off to bed." Aro said firmly as he hugged and kissed her forehead. Recognising that she will not win this argument she hugged her father and Caius receiving a hug and a kiss to the forehead from the pair of them before leaving the room, only stopping at the door to say goodnight to the others in the room. "Now could someone please explain what the hell is going on?" Caius asked angrily, once he was sure Ardelle wasn't within ear shot. Alec and Jane shared a look silently communicating with each other before Alec stepped forward.

"My Lords it is mine, Jane's and Demetri's fault, though it is mostly mine and Demetri,"
Alec began. "Carlisle had wanted us to explain a few things, what with two of his Clan being Ardelle's mates but Jane told him that he, his mate and these two," Alec says pointing to Emmett and Riley. "Were to travel here in two days alone and no one else or there would be consequences as they're already on their last strike. He agreed reluctantly. But as these two kept fighting over Elle.
