Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 2 - Episode 16

“But she loved the child inside her, even when he broke her bones she loved him. She called him Nahuel, after the jungle cat. I could not save her. The child ripped his way free from her and she dies quickly, begging all the while that I take care of her Nahuel. It was her dying wish and I agreed.” I suppressed a shudder at the visual and I couldn’t help but picture poor Bella. Judging by what I heard she must have had a very difficult time as well. Edward met my gaze for a fraction of a second and I saw a flicker of pain at my thoughts, supporting my theory.
“He bit me, though, when I lifted him from her body. I crawled away into the jungle to die but I did not get far for the pain was too much. But he found me and waited for me. When the pain ended he was curled up against my side sleeping. I cared for him until he was able to hunt for himself. We have never come so far from our home but Nahuel wished to see the child here.” She finished and ducked her head while backing away. She hid herself slightly behind the other vampire that they arrived with.
To say that Aro did not look pleased would be an understatement. His lips were pursed and I could see he was trying to find away around this. “Nahuel, you are one hundred and fifty years old?” he questioned.
“Give or take a decade. We don’t keep track.” He answered calmly in a clear voice. I’ll give him this, he did not show the same fear that Huilen did.
“And you reached maturity at what age?”
“About seven years after my birth I was full grown.”

“Whoa.” Felix mumbled beside me and I have to say I shared his sentiment. It was mind blowing that one could grow so quickly but when has anything in our lives been normal?

“And you have not changed since?” Aro continued.

Nahuel shrugged, “Not that I’ve noticed.”
“And your diet?” Aro pressed and he seemed generally interested now, despite his attempts to cover it. Though I now feared a little for Nahuel for if Aro couldn’t get Renesmee he may try for this boy when he leaves.

“Mostly blood, but some human food too. I can survive on either.” His tone was disinterested.

“You were able to create an immortal.” He indicated to Huilen and I saw a familiar calculating gleam in his eye. He was probably trying to come up with yet another excuse to attack and gain his desired prizes.
“Yes, but none of the rest can.”
More shocked murmurs came from all groups. Aro’s eye brows shot up, “The rest?”

“My sisters.” He said simply and shrugged once again. Aro’s eyes became wild for a moment as he tried to gather his thoughts. Eventually he composed his face.
“Maybe you should tell the rest of the story since there seems to be more.”
Nahuel frowned but began speaking. “My father came looking for me a few years after my mother’s death. He was pleased to find me.” His tone was bitter and I got the feeling he did not share his father’s sentiments. “He had two daughters but no sons. He expected me to join him, like my sister had. He was surprised I was not alone. My sisters are not venomous, but whether that’s due to gender or random chance…who knows? I already had a family with Huilen and I was not interested” his voice twisted and he grimaced. “in making a change. I see him from time to time. I have a new sister, she reached maturity about ten years ago.” He finished. A strange silence filled the air for a moment but Caius was the first to break it.

“Your father’s name.” Caius hissed through his teeth.

“Joham. He considers himself a scientist. He thinks he’s creating a new super race.” Nahuel said disgusted. Apparently even the vampire world has it’s own Frankenstein.
Caius glared in Bella’s direction. “Your daughter, is she venomous?” he asked harshly. Jacob bared his teeth at the ancient, his claws digging into the ground while Renesmee hid her face in his fur.
“No.” she responded.

Caius looked at Aro searching his face for something, any indication of their actions but Aro seemed lost in thought. He surveyed every one of them and occasionally I saw his glance quickly dart to me and away. Caius growled. “We take care of the aberration here, and then follow it south.” He urged.
“Disgusting.” I said loudly, wanting him to hear me. He hissed but kept his eyes fixed on Aro. Aro just stared at Bella and seemed to be deciding what to do. After a few moments I could tell he had come to a decision and I found myself holding my breath.

He turned to Caius and spoke softly to him. “Brother, there appears to be no danger. This is an unusual development, but I see no threat.” I just about started to dance at these words and I knew it was almost over.
“Is that your vote?” Caius demanded, still pressuring for a massacre though at this point all I did was roll my eyes. His words were getting old very quickly. Just admit it, you lost!

“It is.”
“And this Joham? This immortal so found of experimentation?” Caius continued. It seems he was determined for some sort of blood sacrifice.

“Perhaps we should speak with him.” Aro agreed.
