Another Twilight fanfic

Chapter 8: Chapter 8



AN: Thanks for all the feedback, your comments, and power stones, it does cheer me up and give me the motivation to write.

I am quite busy now, and as I've mentioned before in the synopsis and previous chapters, the frequency of the chapter uploads... The best I could promise is at least 1-2 chapters a week, as my job is time-consuming. 😭

The good thing about this novel is, that it literally just comes to me like seeing another episode of a show, and then I try to relay it to you guys.😂 but some of you may have already noticed, but I suck at description, and my vocabulary is limited.

(WARNING: Minor, really tiny Minnie... 'TIME SKIP)

ROBIN LIESHA CULLEN POV

A few days after the naming...

So yeah, I know have a name... I love it! It is simple but pretty, I quite like Robin very much because it is a name that can either be for a boy or a girl, by coincidence, it's a name I used in my life previous life as a pseudonym.

Right now I'm currently in front of a mirror as Esme combs my hair, prepping it for a hairstyle she said would suit me.

Let me just say, when I finally saw what I looked like... I was SHOOK! I was goddamn cute, surreal! Like eerily cute... But as I guessed, I was an albino before the transition, so there wasn't a big difference in skin color, I was still pale. But like milky blushy soft white skin kinda way. It looks delicate like one could easily bruise or puncture my skin. My hair is so white... first I saw it, I thought that I was too basic a reincarnation, having white hair, I didn't choose it! But it is pretty. But my favorite so far... It's my eyes, they are so pink, like not neon pink, or dull plain pink, it was sparkly and bright! not like a disco ball sparkly but.... Ugh, let's say clear and pure? Do you get me?

"Baby, can you let your brother hear your thoughts for a bit, I need your opinion on the dress you're gonna wear and also the ones I'm making" Esme, her now beautiful young vampire mother pulled her out from her thoughts.

Oh yes, one other progress I made was letting her new family realize that I could block Edward's gift somehow. Her brother asked me why sometimes he couldn't hear my thoughts.

Flashback

Little Robin was being carried by Piggyback after being caught trying to climb up a tree to see a bird's nest. She was always curious about what it looked like up close. But her brother caught her soon enough so she won't be able to.

She gave him a look of irritation and pout, it was cute at how her cheeks puffed, and her little lips pouted. She wouldn't have gotten hurt, I'm quite durable now, he's just being overprotective!

Edwards saw the change of sensed the change of expressions on his sister's face, he changed her hold of her by tossing her slightly in the air, causing the girl's mouth to open, almost letting out a yelp, and then he caught her in a princess carry.

Now, he saw her face, her expressions, but oddly enough, he couldn't hear any of her thoughts, which baffled him, this hadn't happened before, he knew he could somehow hear her thoughts from earlier interactions, but right now, there was nothing. There was just this pouting little squirrel in his arms. So he decided to ask her directly

"Robin, why do I not hear your thoughts?" he asked while poking her cheeks. It's soft he thought while smiling.

She realized that her skill was still on, she was trying to remember where and when she could make contact with Alice and she was playing music that didn't exist yet in this timeline, one that had lyrics contents that wouldn't make sense to the people around this time, and then she got distracted when she saw the bird's nest.

'because I didn't want you to? Hmp' she thought out loud rolling her eyes at him and crossing her arms.

He stopped walking, and with a look of confusion, he asked her.

"what do you mean? How did you do It? Why can I hear your thoughts now?"

'because I want you to hear my thoughts now? If I want to, you can, if I don't want to you can't.' she said while giving him a look like she was asking if he was stupid.

He wanted to inquire further but he didn't know how or what to ask, he also didn't like to receive that kinda look from his cute sister, it hurt, he always wanted to be the perfect big brother. So he decided to pass the information he gathered to their father.

"Let's talk to Carlisle ok?" he said to her then ran with her in his arms towards their home without waiting for a response.

End of flashback

~~

There was discussion about how she could do it, they tested her skill with Edward, and they concluded that I had a skill that I could freely control, that could block Edwards's gift, and that it automatically turned off when I was unconscious because he was able to see when I dream or have nightmares.

Honestly, I thought Edward would be at least a little bit upset about my skill, but he wasn't... He was happy that there was someone around he could relax with. It seems that his obsession with the mind rapi-ehem... invading people's privacy didn't develop to how he was in the movies. She swore that she'd never let him get to that level. She would convince him to train his gift, refusing to believe that it couldn't get trained enough to be turned off and On.

She gave her mom a nod and turned off her skill so her not-yet-emo brother could access her thoughts.

'could you tell Mom I want to start to learn how to read and write? It gets boring... Also, It's a way to talk to them too... Is there another way to do that? Like I can make moves with my hands or something?' she asked because she already getting tired of having to toggle her skill.

She couldn't just leave it off because she had a lot of planning to do, and tho there was an automatic censoring of some thoughts thanks to ROB, it would sound weird when listened to.

"Robin wants to learn how to read and write, she said she gets bored and it can be a way to communicate with you and Carlisle. She also gave a good idea about learning how to sign. There's something called sign language, people who couldn't talk learn it" He said while walking into the room, sending her a warm smile and then Esme.

Ever since she came into their life, if not a genuine full-blown smile, there would always be at least a phantom of a smile on their lips. They were more relaxed and happy, her scent also helped calm Esme down, and they weren't too worried about her losing control anymore, but they were still careful and getting ready to move.

"That's a good idea! Perfect! We'll all learn it! Then we can talk with each other!" Esme excitedly replied, lifting her and giving her kisses all over her face and then hugging her tightly.

Which she gladly accepted, hugging her back and letting out a chuckle... Not a soundless one, an honest-to-God chuckle, sound and all.

Yes, she let out a sound. After the whole skill ordeal with Edward, they broached her other skill, which is the siren's voice... She was not ready to share her other skills yet. She will, in the future, She can present it like a gift upgrade or something after training so hard. Then it could push her brother to train too.

Flashback

Third person POV

They told her that when she shared her past with them, and sobbed, she cried out loud. And they felt it all, they weren't bewitched or anything, they just felt everything that she was feeling at that time. This then led to another testing of gifts, I was reluctant at first but still tried, she did want to be able to talk eventually... And some results were learned, it was fine if it was just a sound like cry, laugh, or anything that isn't words... It just made them feel the emotion she felt. But when words were used with emotion or intent, it had a compelling effect.

How did they confirm that? Well, they asked her to say something, to test it, Esme volunteered to be the test subject, Carlisle wanted to protest but her mate wouldn't relent...

The first thing I said was "I want cookies for dinner..." because I am craving for it... and then Esme froze for a second like she was in a daze all of them had the same look...

Then all hell broke loose, Carlisle lifted me as Esme ran to the kitchen and started to bake while saying that we would be having all the cookies I wanted for dinner, and Edward came over and assured me that our mother would be done soon enough, but if I wanted it now, he can get it from somewhere else, and Carlisle just agreed, kept nodding and giving me that dazed look and smile. I couldn't stand looking at them like this, I wasn't sure what to do, so I did the best thing I could think of at that moment...

I gestured for Edward to get closer to me, which he dazedly did... And then I slapped him. It was a good slap too, the kind that was strong enough to knock someone's teeth out if they were human.

He froze for a second, just looking at me, mouth agape, and then his dazed eyes cleared up. After that, he carefully took me from Carlisle, put me down a bit away from them, and then she shook him up until his father came back to normal.

Carlisle kept blinking for a few seconds and then said... "fascinating..."

After that, they took me to the kitchen, and they woke Esme up. But she still insisted on finishing the cookies since it would be a waste because she already started.

So they sat in the open dining so Esme could get included in the conversation, not that they all needed to be in the same room to hear each other, but it was still nice to see each other while talking.

They asked her about how I did it, how I felt when saying it, what was going through my mind when I was saying it, etc. And that's how they got a bit of an idea of how my skill works.

So in conclusion, for now. They've decided that making a sound was ok. But speaking words or full sentences was a bit risky for now, they would train it tho. They are just trying to think of the best way to do so... I was really scared that they would at me differently after that, but no. They treated me the same and more.

Flashback end

'I want pants too, like daddy's and brother's pants... So it doesn't get caught when I climb trees or run around in the forest... But I'm not sure if Mommy will let me... Because it's for boys..' she said lifting her head from the crook of her mother's neck and giving her puppy dog eyes. She knew her mom loved dressing her up in pretty clothes and came from a time were women had to act and dress a certain way, so she was worried that the older woman wouldn't agree.

Hearing this, Edwards gave her a reassuring smile.

"You worry too much. She wants pants like mine and Carlisle's, she says so she can use them when she climbs trees or hunts. But I'm pretty sure her main reason is climbing trees." he shared chuckling and giving me an amused look.

'You shouldn't have said the last part! Mommy's not gonna make 'em now!' she said in return, she gave him a betrayed look.

Seeing her children's exchange, Esme couldn't help but let out a chuckle at how childish they were being, it was nice seeing Edward finally acting his age, and Robin opening up more and more each day. From a timid little girl to a little firecracker.

Contrary to how she looks, Robin Liesha Cullen even without speaking was a loud child, she was playful and mischievous, their little tomboy of an Angel.

"OK, enough of that for now. You can play later after I take her measurements again and make sure the ones that I finished making are the right fit. Since I'll be making new clothes at the request of our little Liesha. We need to get some new fabric to work with." she said to the siblings and then gave her daughter a wink, letting her know that she agreed.

She couldn't help but feel happy and excited seeing her mother agree, she peppered her face with kisses which earned a chuckle from the older woman, and knowing that her brother was also part of the reason her request was a success, she gave him a flying kiss using both hands for emphasis. A smile never leaving her face

This gave both of the older vampires arrow shot straight and through their hearts.

'Sooooo cute! What is up with this adorable creature' both of them thought to themselves.

She turned her skill on again.

'he he he, yeah, I know I'm cute. That's for being good

The warm atmosphere continued while she tried on the new clothes and discussed the specifics of the clothes she requested.

AN: Another chapter! Tbh, I wasn't going to upload anything today, but the scene came to me, so while I'm still in the mood... Yeah.

As you've noticed, or not. This is a bit of a slow paced novel. I want to build relations and memories, and make them feel alive. Soooo yeah. Plus, I really cant control my imagination, that's how she came to me. 😐✌️
