AN: I didn't want to leave a bad taste in your mouths, so here's another chapter for compensation.

I feel like I'm spoiling you guys... Am I spoiling you? Do you feel spoiled?

EDWARD'S POV

After our parents left to bond with each other. The day proceeded to come along normally, Robin did the homework left by Esme, we listened to some music, and I tried helping with the cooking, but it really isn't a skill that I could learn, I tried, but it just always ended up inedible. So I left those tasks to our little Liesha and just did the other chores around the house.

I initially didn't bother with such things and just left it for the older vampire to do, because she loved doing housework and caring for us, but my dear sister scolded my ears off of how much of a MALE I was being and then proceeded to lecture me with the wonders of Feminism, and what she called true gender equality, whereas she said and I quote 'while I do not encourage it, but if a woman does hit a man for no good reason but just to inflict pain and abuse, you can fight back. It's not just women who are abused you know?'... Then told me that men can cry and show emotions too, and that we don't have to bottle up our feelings, because it's one of the usual causes of men suddenly bursting out of rage.

It's amazing how her mind works. If you didn't see her and know how old she really was, you would think it was all coming from an older mature woman. But no, it was all her, with her adorable self.

I felt myself getting thirsty, so I gave her a heads up that I'd be out for a hunt and asked if she wanted to come with, but the little minx was too lazy to go, too lazy to even answer properly with a full sentence, and just gave him a short 'No' and wave him off to go.

I leave her there in the living room, books scattered at the living room table and some on the floor, her head dangling at the side of the sofa while the rest of her body was sprawled on it, as she read.

It didn't look like a comfortable position to be in, but oddly enough, she managed to make it look like it did, while also looking good. She was weird and unique, and we loved everything about her.

I hunted for quite a while and lost track of time, by the time I was done, it was already dark. So I decided to head back.

As I grew closer to our home, the strong scent of human blood hit me, and it wasn't just from one, there were multiple scents of blood.

I could feel my chest tighten, I became afraid of what might have happened to her. I ran, I ran like my life depended on it, which is true, I'd give my life for my sister.

When I arrived at the house and opened the door the scent hit me harder, it was good that I had already hunted before I came in here, but the scent of blood engulfed the whole place.

I proceeded to walk towards where the scent was more prominent... More concentrated... And what I saw was chaos and it was a nightmare brought to life.

The furniture was almost all destroyed, blood was everywhere... Floor, walls ceiling, debris, and what's left of the furnitures... There were four bodies, mutilated beyond recognition, faces were either sunken from being hit by something, eyes were gouged out... ears, nose, and fingers were seemingly bitten off... And there were severed arms...

It was horrifying, and I was having a hard time breathing in all the scents, so I stopped breathing. I needed to focus, I needed to find her.

I looked around the room, and there I saw her, tucked in a corner hugging her knees, sobbing loudly while looking at the mess in front of her, I couldn't see clearly because of her position, but I was sure that her dress was torn, my heart sank to the pits of my being of the possibility of what might have happened... Hearing her cry broke me... It physically hurt, she's projecting how she's feeling right now... And it is maddening at how sad, angry, afraid, hurt, and guilty she felt...

I was confused about the guilt part, but then I saw blood on her... There was some all over her body, but that wasn't what caught my eye... It was the blood around her lips that dripped down to her neck and torso... She drank human blood... And she killed...

I didn't know how or that it was even possible to feel even more negative feelings right now, but I did... I was disappointed! I was enraged! I wanted to kill somebody! But not towards her, never her... I'm disappointed in myself for leaving her alone, for allowing all this to happen, and I wanted to kill the people who made my sister like this, who made her break again when we just got her all back together. I wasn't sure if we could fix this as easily as we did the first time.

Oh God, if you're really out there, please tell me... Why do you keep doing this to such a wonderful, pure, and innocent girl? Is it because we're not human? Is it because in you're eyes, we're soulless beings that no longer deserve your protection or happiness!

I started to walk over to her, slowly... To not startle her... She then finally sensed my presence and looked at me, and our eyes met... She... Her eyes... Her eyes looked different, it was still pink, but the brightness and innocence were gone... In it was fear, hurt, sadness, and guilt... Her eyes were dead, like someone who lost the will to live.

I finally reached her, I crouched down to her level and tried to touch her to make sure she was ok, but she flinched and moved away from me. My sister... MY SISTER moved away from ME...

"Little Robin, it's me... Edward, your brother, I'm not going to hurt you ever. I'm so sorry that I left you alone" I stopped trying to reach out to her and just sat in front of her, not minding the wetness of the floor from the blood.

She just kept looking at me. Scared and guilty.

I never wanted the ability to shed tears as much as I did now, I wanted to cry so bad... My baby sister is hurting and is afraid of me... Those bastards...

"Baby, I need you to tell me... No, show me what happened... We'll fix this... Just please, talk to me" I pleaded, and I meant it. I don't care about their deaths, and I don't care if she killed them, they most likely deserved it, but even if they didn't, I would still side with her, I promised to protect her, and I failed. So from now on, I would do everything I could to fix this, I would make it my mission to see her smile again and have her keep smiling.

I saw it, she was reluctant to show me, but I gave her an encouraging and understanding look. Then she showed me... What they did, what she did... Everything.

I wish I had the gift of reviving the dead, just so I can torture them over and over and then kill them by shredding them into pieces. I now understand why she felt guilty...

She used her powers to cause harm... And then she couldn't stop herself from draining him of his blood. None of it was her fault, it was all those vile men's fault. She shouldn't feel even an ounce of guilt over them.

Oh, Our poor Robin, our baby, our angel, our princess... Our parents are out. And won't be home for two nights, I'd have to relay everything that happened to them. I can already imagine how they'll react.

I know where they are, there is a phone there, but the closest place that has a telephone I can use is at the town market, and I can't leave her alone here for that long, and she's not allowing me to touch her either so I cant bring her with me.

The best thing I could do at the moment is to hide their car in the forest near us, covered so even if someone suddenly sees it, they won't easily recognize it and if somebody visits to look for the men before our parents arrive, the car will be out of sight.

I need to get rid of the bodies, there's a pride of mountain lions nearby, I could drop the bodies there quickly and then clean off everything here, I'll burn every piece of destroyed furniture and erase any trace and scent of blood.

I went to get a blanket for her so she could at least cover up.

"Can you get this to cover up? You must be feeling uncomfortable now...or can I please put this over you? I promise I won't touch you?" he asked as gently as possible it can classify as a whisper.

She didn't answer and just looked down. He didn't know what she meant, but he took a gamble for her own sake by lowering the blanket over her body, staying true to his word of not making any contact.

After making sure that she's settled.

"I'm going to start cleaning up a bit ok? If you can go to your room, please do. But don't go outside. I'll be back as soon as possible." he said while starting to stand up, but stopped when he remembered that he hadn't said the most important thing yet.

He sat back down and looked straight at her, she was still looking down so he couldn't meet her eyes.

"Robin Liesha Cullen, none of this is your fault. You're a victim, and you were just defending yourself. Yes, you drank blood, but that is not your fault, you were put into an impossible situation, and you survived it. Again, NONE of it is your fault." he said full of conviction at the poor girl.

The girl didn't respond, but he was hoping that she understood.

He stood up and with one last look at her, he went to clean everything up.

In a rented couples cabin at least 2 hours away from their home

Third person POV

The couple had arrived the at their destination a few hours ago. At first, they were having fun, enjoying each other's presence.

But for some reason, they suddenly got this feeling that something was wrong... That something bad was happening to their baby. It came out of nowhere.

At first, they tried to ignore it, thinking that it was just because this was the first time they were away from her since she joined their family.

They tried everything, but the feeling wouldn't go away, it just became worse and worse as time flew by. And they both grew more worried and scared.

Carlisle, comes to a realization that his guess about their connection is true, and that makes this feeling a lot more scary because that means, something IS wrong with their daughter.

They decided to cut the trip short, they didn't care if the cabin stay was already paid for, they just wanted to go home and see their children.

Unbeknownst to them, after getting home, they will hear the horror of what their child has gone through without them protecting her. Something that they will never forgive themselves for, a regret that will forever haunt them.
