Honeybee

Surprise Visit, Unwelcomed Guest

"I'm sorry there's-" Carlisle was abruptly cut off.

"-Dr. Cullen, I jus' need ta see her. I'm not gonna hurt her," Chris said. "If ya don't believe me ya can have Aro or Edward read my mind."

Everyone looked at each other quizzically as they listened to the two men talk at the front door. Alec looked down at where Aria slept, her hand had managed to locate his in her sleep and held onto him, as if she feared he would leave her. Did she tell her friend about her family and boyfriends true nature? It was possible, but Alec knew that she wouldn't risk her friends life for the bragging rights. That just wasn't like her. He brainstormed trying to figure out how Chris knew that information.

Aro had grown intrigued after hearing the boy, "Old Friend, let him in."

Carlisle returned to the living room with the teen following behind as the heels of his boots clicked against the hardwood floors. Upon entering the house Chris removed his hat holding it by his side and had opened his letterman. Anytime Aria brought up her best friend, Alec had always pictured a scrawny nerd with oversized glasses and bad acne that only stood at 5'7 or 5'9. Not once had he pictured a boy with copper skin, broad shoulders that tapered to a small waist, a strong jaw and cognac colored eyes. His medium length onyx black hair was pin straight and swept back revealing his sharp facial features. Alec noticed that Chris held himself with an air of authority and confidence that seemed to come naturally to him. He stood at the proud height of 6'2 and had muscles from his spring break and summer vacations spent working at his families farm and him playing defensive line of the football team and being a power lifter. Alec noticed his sisters eyes didn't leave the boy since he entered the room.

Chris looked over at Jane gave her a crooked smile. Jane looked down, embarrassed that she had been caught staring at the specimen of a man. Chris stares at her a moment longer than he should've. Marcus's eyes ignited once more but he wasn't truly paying attention, he was too worried about Aria.

"Hello everyone," his husky voice greeted everyone, "I'm Aria's friend Chris."

Aro moved forward, "How do you know of my gift?"

Chris smiled, flashing his perfectly white teeth, "I've dreamed of y'all since I was four. I'm what y'all like to call a seer."

"May I?" asked the crazed king as he reached for Chris's hand, eagerly.

"Sure," Replied the teen offering his hand, "I'm not songbird, I ain't got nothin' ta hide."

Aro was quiet for a moment before he cackled like a maniac causing Aria to stir on the couch. "The boy speaks the truth, he has know of our existence his whole life."

"Impossible," sneered Caius.

"Do you think I lie brother?" Aro questioned, only to have a throw pillow launched at his head.

"Don't ya know how to shut your trap?" questioned the now awake and angry Aria.

Chris chuckled, "I see yer still a peach when ya get woken up, Pebbles." Aria was rubbing her eyes until she heard the deep voice of her bestie. Her earth colored orbs scanned the room until they landed on Chris standing behind the couch.

"BAM-BAM!" She exclaimed, tossing her blanket over Alec's head and bolted across the room. She used the couch as a springboard launching herself into the waiting arms of her friend. "I've missed ya!"

Chris chuckled as she wrapped around him, pouring all her strength into the bear hug she had graciously bestowed upon him. As the friends embraced they were unaware that the witch twins were glaring daggers at both of them. Jane was 99.99% sure that Chris was her mate and she didn't want anyone, not even Aria, near him.

Aria's anger quickly dissipated as she hugged the only person she had truly wanted to see. She buried her face into the side of his neck, inhaling the familiar scent of leather and his signature scent, Master of Mischief cologne that she bought him for Christmas after they first watched Thor. Chris's emotions flooded into her, happiness, peace, slight worry. She felt safe once again. She knew deep down inside as long as her Bam-Bam was here nothing bad was going to happen to her.

"What are ya doin' here?"

"I told ya for Halloween I was comin' for ya."

"Ya sent that text?"

"Yeah I used Marcus's phone, mine was at the repair shop." Aria laughed thinking back on that day. Of course, Elijah was still behind bars at that time there was no way he couldn't have texted her.

Alec watched as his girlfriend hung onto another man. They talked and she introduced him to the members of each group. She kept one arm wrapped around his waist as he kept one around her shoulders. He watched as she laughed and Esme invited Chris to stay there at the house since the masters, Demetri, Felix, and Jane were heading back to Italy later that night. He brought gifts for Aria, a giant bag of all blue candies and a bag of Mexican mango lollipops. Her eyes lit up and she kissed his cheek. Alec smiled and pretended he didn't see the kiss she gave him. He pretended to accept Chris. In reality though, Alec didn't like him and he wanted him to leave.
