Edward had immediately read Mandi's mind when she'd appeared with the changing one and then barked orders, as he was wont to do. Carlisle had taken the girl--Nicki, Edward told them--ever-gently but firmly in his arms and carried her into the nearest guest room while Bella swiftly grabbed Nessie and ran out the door to spare her precocious child the bloodcurdling screams. Edward directed Emmett and Jasper to prepare the house for a newborn and Esme went unheeded to her husband's side, knowing that her calm affection would be vital as Nicki turned.

Then Edward shifted to Alice, who was deep in a trance but snapped awake when he addressed her. "Did you see this?" His voice was annoyed but Mandi knew that he didn't really need Alice to answer and wasn't really upset with his lithe little sister and her precognition. She would have warned them if she'd had a chance. No, Mandi was waiting for when his burning eyes were trained on her. She was physically stronger than him yet as a younger vampire, but he still scared the bejeebus out of her.

"No, I'm not close enough to Mandi yet! I've been seeing new additions to the family, like I've told you, but not this soon." Edward rubbed the spot between his eyes as if he was getting a headache, though his migraine days were long past.

"I'm not looking forward to sending the Volturi another update."

"They'll accept that she made a mistake, but they're going to want to know why she didn't eat her in the first place to maintain our secret." Edward thought for a moment and Mandi fidgeted in a very human-like way, piqued that they would talk about her as if she wasn't there but not foolish enough to speak up. She knew that Edward was reading her mind every second, even as they spoke, and she didn't want to give him any other reason to be upset with her. Her adopted brother was certainly kind of patronizing, and rude, and even a little bit of a stick-in-the-mud . . .

"I'll deal with you in a minute." Edward didn't even turn to Mandi as he addressed her in that infuriatingly silky voice that she could never replicate, even as a vampire like him. The brunette gulped needlessly and began to think of every possible kind of ice cream to avoid any thoughts of betrayal. "Well, we can tell them the truth. She panicked and like Carlisle she has an unbelievable compassion which stopped her from feeding. I don't know if that will hold with Aro, however. I know he's still not happy about the whole Nessie mess."

Alice went blank again and her currently dark-gold eyes dimmed in a way that humans couldn't see.

"Aro will want to meet the new one when she's finished changing. I can see he's antsy about how big our family is getting, too, so we'll have to play extra nice for a while. But he'll let it go." Edward nodded, seemingly oblivious to the piercing shrieks stabbing the air from rooms away.

"Well, small miracles and all." Finally he turned to Mandi, who stumbled on roasted almond in her list as his glare met her own sheepish tangerine gaze. One look of naked contempt was all her gave her outwardly, but she could hear him loud and clear in her mind.

You, my friend, are in incredibly dire trouble.
Title: The Forever Joke: Chapter Two
Twilight Timeline: Post-Breaking Dawn
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Mandi waits for her doom as the family prepares.

Mandi hasn't yet given her vampire self a power so I chose compassion because she pretty much embodies that anyway! :giggle: Unlike Carlisle, however, her compassion is based around spiritual comfort: whereas Carlisle's calling is to heal the broken body, Mandi is drawn to heal broken hearts. It's part of the reason that she wants to have a blood drive. Not only can she help physically with Carlisle but she will be helping many people emotionally by easing fear and worry.

(Yeah, I think way too much about my little ficlets. XD)

Well, the Cullens' learn Nicki's name through her thoughts, Edward is pissed as hell, Alice uses her powers, and Mandi is screwed. XD I'll be explaining some issues from these chapters in the next few (such as why Nicki isn't going nuts with bloodlust or why she is still affected by human emotions) so keep reading! Also, I've been doing research for a Twilight story. Who would have thought it? XD
