Cat and Mouse [Serena]

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett sat crouched one a tree branch hidden by the leaves he was not out her to hunt animals or humans for that matter. No he was hiding for the fun of it yes he was being childish but the peace and quiet was kind of relaxing for once. there was always so much going on at the house now a days and he just needed a little breather for a day. He had thought to bring Rose with him and they could do something but then again she probably was already with Serena. She finally had her dream fulfilled of a daughter and he was proud of her. He loved them both and was glad they finally had a bit of a family of there own. The Cullen coven was getting so large not that he minded it meant less threats but it also kind of scared him it was kind of hard to hide large groups such as theres. Emmett was kind of protective of his family and was worried about them he would hate himself if anything happened to them especially Rose. He shook his head his golden gaze looking around at the ground he noticed a bit of movement in the distance but thought nothing of it. He was safe up here after all also he knew how to take care of himself pretty well.

Serena smiled and stretched getting out of bed. She walked over to her vast closet and smiled opening the big double doors. She walked in and found a light strapless shirt and a pair of short shorts. She knew out in the forest that no humans would be out here. Smiling she walked out and on her way out found a pair of her favorite sneakers. She stripped herself of her previous sleeping clothes.

She dressed in her new clothes and made her bed. She knew the rest of her family never slept, but she still did because she still had that human quality about her. She walked over to her mirror and vanity and brushed out her tangles. She braided her hair into a long plait that ended at her waist. She walked out and down the steps. On her way through the living room she saw some, but not all of her family.

Nodding, she ran out of the door quickly and into the forest. She could smell her fathers' scent, but couldn't tell if he was near or far away. She ran through the forest crunching leaves under her feet. She slowed sensing he was closer, but she still couldn't tell where he was. Sighing she stood still and let the wind pick up, hoping he would smell her scent and they could meet halfway.

Emmett easily got lost in his thoughts but he was kind of itching to do something. Maybe go for a run pick a fight with someone. He was not one to just sit around for long though it was nice. Maybe he could find a wolf to mess with no matter how much he hated there smell it might be fun. But his snapped out of his thoughts as a breeze him him with a familiar scent "Serena." he said his head turning in the direction he was still in the tree he could see her in the distance. A smile wiped across his face as he jumped down from the tree landing with ease.
A wicked smile on his face and he ran in the direction finding Serena easily he stopped down and came to a stop in front of her. "Looking for me?" he asked raising an eyebrow but glad to see her he reached a hand over ruffling her hair affectionately he knew there was a chance she would not appreciate it but he could not help it at times it was fun to mess with her and show his love for her.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena jumped slightly seeing her father appear out of nowhere. SHe hated when he did that. She felt him ruffle her hair and she scowled. A growl grew in her throat. "You know I hate it when you do that dad." Nevertheless, she nodded. "Yes I was looking for you." She smiled at him. She didn't mind so much any more if he ruffled her hair or not, she was his princess, his one and only. She giggled lightly at the expression that his face held. "You know if you keep your face like that long enough, it'll freeze."

She laughed again and wrapped her arms around him hugging him. He was like a big teddy bear to her. He might look intimidating, but he really wasn't. He was very lovable, she thought. SHe unwrapped her arms from around him and grinned excitedly. "Hey dad, can you teach me how to fight? Please?" She begged him, literally with a look she knew he wouldn't be able to resist. She also thought about something.

Maybe she would ask him later. She really wanted a motorcycle for her birthday, or at least before school started. She didn't really want to keep getting a ride with her parents. Not that she minded in the least, but it was time she started to become a little more independent. No matter what, she would always be her daddy's princess. She loved her parents to death and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett was glad to see Serena he let out a laugh at her growl when he messed with her hair. He knew it would just fall back in to place if not he would be a gentleman and fix it he did not need her walking around with crazy hair. "You love it if my face got stuck." he said loving how she had picked up some of his humor with hers he loved how they could play around he could be a bit of a child with her let out his inner teen. Emmet smiled down at her and hugged her back when she hugged him. He had been upset when Roslaie had first changed Serena but it did not take him long to warm up to Serena she was just so loveable. When she asked him to teach her fight he smiled but hesitated not sure if it was the best thing "I don't know if your mom...." but she gave him a look he could not resist not to mention he actually did want to teach her. "Why not!" he said smiling at her. He enjoyed a good fight himself and it would not hurt for Serena to know how to defend herself. "Just promise not to use what I teach you for bad" he did not need her getting into trouble at school because he taught her to fight though he was sure she could take out a human easy it was not them he was worried about.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Serena laughed and smiled at what her father said. "It would be a funny sight to behold dad. I'm pretty sure mom wouldn't like it though." She laughed imagining how her mother would look if Emmett's face became permanently frozen like that. She heard him hesitate at teaching her to fight and then gave in at her look. She nodded and smiled somberly at him. "I promise dad. I just want to learn how to defend myself so I won't be so useless against anyone else." She sighed and smiled once more.

She loved her father to death and wouldn't trade him for anyone in the world. She loved her parents to death, even her human parents didn't have this much fun with her. "Hey you want to have me run or something or what dad?" She asked smiling at him. Whatever he had her doing, she was positive she would have fun never mind the fact she was kind of like a mouse and he was a cat. She laughed at this thought and smiled.

"Hey dad, you know what i want for my birthday?" She asked. She would tell him anmd maybe she would get it. She really and truly wanted a motorcycle. She wasn't sure if her mom would go for it though. Well, that was where her dad came in. She would go for her license and then maybe, just maybe she would get it. She sighed and jumped feeling her father's immense presence over her small frame. She leaned back so far, that she fell on the ground.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett shook his head laughing Rose would have a fit if that was even possible her dimples would be ruined. He smirked at the idea but pushed it away the last thing he needed to do was pick on Rose. "Your mather would love me no matter what!" he said making a face at her. He knew that statement was true he loved Rosalie dearly and nothing could change that. He also love Serena she was new to his world but his love for her was something that was not going to fade or change she was his daughter. He smiled he was glad she wanted to learn to fight it was something he had wanted as well when he was...younger. He shook his head at the thought smiling. "Just promise me when I tell you do go hide or run when we are in danger you will listen to me and do it no matter what." his tone rather serious he wanted her to promise him this he would hate to lose her. Emmet laughed as she asked what he wanted her to do he considered it but laughed ven harded when she fell back. He could not help it but he quickly swoped a hand down picking her up and placing her back on her feet. "I'm sorry." he said stepping back from her a smile still on his face. "Now first of all you have to learn to run whether it is from your enemy or after them you have to be able to follow there scent or run fast enough on a odd path to throw them off." he said jumping right in.

[serena alexandra cullen]

SHe could tell by her father's tone that he was serious. "Of course Dad. I promise. You're very special to me and I would hate it if I lost you." She said gazing at him with forlong eyes. She loved him dearly and truly. She felt his strong hand pick her up and she smirked. "You do realize I'm just a tad of a hell lot stronger than you right now dad." SHe smiled and grabbed his one arm and smirked and proceeded to flip him. HSe continued through with her motions.

She smiled wider as she felt she and her father falling to the forest floor.She laughed as she felt the air rush over her small frame and she sighed sitting with her legs on either side of his body and pinned his wrist to the ground. "This is the only thing I wish I didn't have dad. Not that I don't mind, it's just it's kind of ridiculous that I'm stronger than you." She sighed and got off him and stood up and walked away.

SHe found a tree and quickly climbed it and sat on a branch. She hoped her father would understand. She sat leaning against the tree and sighed heavily. She smelled his scent and felt his presence behind her and she sighed, her body shuddering as if she was human and crying, but no tears came out of her eyes.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett smiled glad she had reassured him he would rather her be safe when there was a threat. He ran a ahnd over his head about to tell her what he planned to do with her. When she jumped ahead and started attacking him. He had not expected it or he would have put up more of a fight. He knew she was stronger but he knew strength was not everything. Beside he was the strongest of his family but he learned the tricks from Jasper. There was more then just brut force and he was glad to know it but Serena had jumped right in he should have known. "I never said anything about attacking me for startes and second of all you strength wont last forever just you wait." Emmett said removing her from on top of him getting up. "Bella beat me as a newborn but that has changed good luck keeping that strength little Missy." he said with a growl. But she had dashed of to the trees he crouched ready to attack but he straighten up taking in her scent he smelled fear. The last thing he wanted to do was scare his little princess. "Serena?" He said climbing the tre setting himself next to her.

[serena alexandra cullen]

Sighing, Serena turned and leaned into her father's chest. This was the only thing she hated about her vampiric life right now. She wrapped her arms around her father never wanting to let go. "I'm scared Daddy." She said using the name she rarely ever used unless she really and truly was scared or needed something. She leaned off him and stood up on the branch and smiled at her father She jumped arching her body and flipped a few times, before finally landing on her feet and smiled at her father in the tree.

"Catch me if you can Dad." She said and took off running. SHe did a big loop and then ran around again and cut her paths so her scent went in all directions hoping to confuse him. SHe hid in another tree not to far away from where they just were. She smiled looking down at the forest floor. What she really should have been doing, was keeping her eyes open in all directions.

She screamed falling out of the tree as she felt him behind her in one moment. "Help Me!" She screamed stretching her arm up. She didn't need to fall to her death, she wanted to stay and grow with her family. She wanted to stay with her parents forever. She loved them until death.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett hugged his daughter back he had not wanted to scare her in any way shape or form he felt bad over doing it. He let her go when she stood up he followed in suits and laughed at her challenge watching her from the trees as she followed her jumping from one to another he had to admit she did pretty well trying to throw him off if he had followed her on foot but that was not the case at all. he smiled as he watched her in a tree he sprung to the one next to her. A large smile on his face he was proud of her but glad he had not been out-witted she may be stronger but he had her this time. But his smile quickly face and he watched her slip and sheak out to him Emmett shot off the tree full force towards the ground he landed with ease much quicker then her fall thankfully he caught her. His arms wrapped around her immediatly protectivly. "It's okay Serena I got you." he said a hand in her hair. "I got you, your safe I promise." he said lossening his grip on her looking down at her making sure there was not mark or scrape on her he knew it would heal but he would not want her to go through any pain. It was the last thing he wanted. "You okay Little S?" he asked trying to keep himself calm he knew she was not in any huge danger but the fear in her voice had scared him wittless.

[serena alexandra cullen]

((Lack Of Muse))
SHe felt her fathers strong arms around her catching her in his arms and a hand in her hair. Still shuddering from her scare she grasped her father's shirt holding herself closer to him. She heard him use her favorite nickname she loved to be called by him. She wiggled her way out of his light grasp and walked behind him and climbed up on his back. "I love you Daddy. I'm your princess and you're my king." She smiled and kissed his cheek. She really did and truly love him.

She got down and slipped her hand into his squeezing lightly and smiled up at his perfect angelic face. "i want to ry that again, but this time, no more climbing trees, okay?" HSe asked, she really didn't care for that experience again.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett let her go when she pulled away he loved her more then he could say. He had been upset with Rose over doing this without him but after getting to Know serena he fell inlove with having a daughter she really was his little princess. He laughed at the King comment it was cute and sweet of her. Emmett gave her hand a squeeze and slowly nodded her head as she wanted to do it again. He qucikly looked around sensing no threats or immediate danger he would rather be sure they were safe well her more then him. But he would be right behind her...he hoped and would hear is she was in danger. "Aliright My princess." he said with a smile down at her taking his free hand ruffling her hair for the second time today affectionatly. "I'll gladly play hide and seek with you just be ready I may knock over some trees." he said teasinly he would do no such thing but he liked to joke. They were basically playing hide and seek it was fun and cute. He did not mind it at all his hand relesed hers. "Give you a 2 second head start" he said with a large grin flashing across his face.

[serena alexandra cullen]

She felt Emmett, her adoptive father ruffle her hair and she smiled. SHe knew he could never get over ruffling her hair, if opportunity presented the chance. She heard him him say he would give her a two second head start and she nodded furiously. "Okay." She said and took off running and smiled running. She ran and suddenly she passed and empty patch and wanted to explore in ventured in. She found a beautiful hjouse in the clearing and she smiled at its vast beauty.

It was hge, more huge than the Cullen mansion and she grinned. She heard a voice calling her name and she smiled. "I'm over here dad." She said in a normal tone, knowing he would hear her perfectly. She had a curious tone to her voice and wanted to know more about the house. She loved it and wanted to explore more. She walked up to the front door and smelled a scent. It smelled of oak and vegetarian vampire.

Hearing her father behind her, she turned and smiled. "Do you know who lives here Dad?" She asked curiously. She thought the house was very beautiful. It had an antique feel about it and she smiled knowing that this was the kind of house she wanted to live in once she got married.

[emmett dale cullen]

Emmett smiled barely waiting to second before dashing off after her but when he came to a clearing sent curved off. "What..." she sure was not making this hard for him the was for sure. He followed her scent quickly hearing her voice just as his eyes set on the house he got an odd feeling about it. It was not theres and if someone was in it it was best not to explore for one thing the were tresspassing and he did not want that kind of trouble esecially since he was with Serena. He came up beside her a hand gasping her shoulder protectivly so she stayed by his side for the moment. He glanced arounf scoping the area out before answering his question. "I never knew this was here....we might be trespassing Serena I don't feel right about this." he said looking to her she was a bit mischievious in his opinion but he was to he did not blame but he put her well being before anything else. He had no idea who lived her they maybe Vegitarians from the smell of it but whether they were friendly was a whol other story.
