Edward backed away and walked to his bedroom. Inside hid Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Melissa.
“Is it gone? Are we safe?”
Melissa asked.
Edward lifted the child into his arms and said.
“Yes, we’re safe. And it’s actually pretty friendly. I’ll show him to you soon, but right now Mister Oliver is healing a friend, and I don’t think its something you would want to see.”

Tortwig took a shaky breath and stood up, wobbling a bit. She clutched Edward’s arm and steadied herself, taking another shaky breath. “Y-you can?”
Melissa smiled and giggled.
“You don’t look so scary.”

Tortwig nodded again. She took a breath. “M-magic or electric?” She asked.
