Riley Swan has no idea what was coming for her in this new town with her sister, she just knew that Bella has made a promise to protect her, and then they ended up surrounded by the supernatural...

Everything seemed to mellow back to normality apart from Renesmee, who was growing abnormally fast, Riley had offered a few conclusions to Carlisle, who had written them down just in case he ran out of things to think about, he had written down her growth in a book he was going to write about them.
Riley had taken so many photos that she already had one scrapbook full, she was even taking them with her when she visited Emily today, since the woman had cursed Sam for doing that. Apparently, Emily had walked out and stayed with Sue until she heard the baby was okay.
"Riley" Emily smiled as the girl approached the house, she had ran out to the porch the second she heard a car pull up. She leaped forward to hug the girl eagerly, who returned it sheepishly.
"I thought you were going to hate me" Riley admitted in a low voice as she was crushed in Emily's arms, and Emily let out a melodic laugh as she pulled back.
"I understand why you lied, I'm just mad that you didn't come sooner" Emily playfully stated, feeling eyes watching from the house. "How's the new bites?"
Riley smiled sadly as she held up her hand that had been wrapped up, before her jeans up slightly so Emily could see the bandaged ankle. "I have scars all over me"
Emily nodded as she remembered how insecure she felt when she first got them, and now Riley and three of them. The girl most likely wouldn't want to be in a bikini for a while.
"I've thrown out all my cropped top and shorts jeans, Alice is going to buy me clothes that hide them more" Riley admits as she holds on to her bag with fine hand, before she reasoned what she brought. "I brought you a scrapbook I made of Renesme, you'll love it"
"Let's head inside" Emily nodded towards the house, where people ducked away from the window quickly when Riley looked over.
"Sure" Riley agreed, letting Emily grab her god hand before they walked towards the house slowly. "So, how much did Sam beg you to feed him again?"
"Hours" Emily answered with a chuckle, and she opened the door, the pair entering into silence. "I didn't budge, though"
Riley felt like she had intruded immediately, especially after seeing some of the other imprints there, she went to turn around only for Emily to hold her shoulders gently. "I'm going to go..."
"No, you're going to stay here, show me baby pictures and tell me how your sister is doing" Emily instructed, closing the door with one hand before she guided Riley over to the sofa, where none of the guys were sat. "Now, photos"
Riley nodded silently as she brought the book out of her bag and opened it up for Emily to view, the woman gasped as she took the book away from her. "She's so cute! You were right....why is she growing that quickly?"
Riley noticed the concern in Emily's tone, "Carlisle has no idea"
"And you do?" Emily questioned, and Riley blushed slightly.
"I read legend of a man who was claimed to grow unnaturally, he was raised by another family member as his mother died strangely at birth, they believed him to be a witch" Riley opens up, telling the same story she had told Seth. "He went missing after he had mysteriously stopped growing unnaturally, I believe I could try and find him"
"Find him? Why would you want to find him?" Emily asked the question that the wolves wanted to ask as they watched the two girls chatting from the kitchen table, Jared slowly raising food to his mouth as he watched.
"They aren't human and they're not vampires, they're what some call hybrids or half-bloods or whatever you want to call them, I suppose. If he is alive, he can tell us what ages he stopped growing and what he can do and so much more" Riley finished off, before she smiled down at the photo of Renesmee in her own arms, Rosalie had insisted that Riley had a picture too. "I want to make sure she's safe"
Emily smiled sadly, "and your sister?"
Riley took in a breathe, "her heart hasn't stopped, but she's certainly not coming out of this as a human. Edward has been worried to death."
The air was awkward again and Riley mentally cursed herself, she wanted to try and mend the relationships she has with them all, not make them more strained. Her phone randomly chimes and she picks it up, standing up as she reads the message over.
"I have to go, Seth says he needs me there" Riley says softly, typing in a reply before she puts her phone back in her bag, Emily stands up and hands her the scrapbook. "Sorry I couldn't stay long"
"Not a worry, in fact, I actually made some food for Renesmee. You said she was able to eat human food?" Emily asks, walking off and into the kitchen, leaving Riley glancing anywhere but at the wolves awkwardly, her phone chimes again and she pulls it out with an eye roll, seeing it's a phone call this time.
"Hello?" She asks.
"Did they say anything? Do I need to kick some werewolves ass?" Alisha ask on the other end, and Riley blushed when she noticed that the wolves can hear. "Shut up Jasper, I'm checking up on my friend....I know she's your friend but—"
Riley ends the call quickly and throws it back in her bag, just as Emily appears with a bright smile and a tub full of food. "You're an angel, Emily"
"Call me if you need anything" Emily demands as Riley begins to walk towards the door. "Anything, I mean it"
"Will do, Em" Riley laughs, closing the door as she finally leaves the house, Emily's smile dropping as she spins around and slaps Paul's head.
