Flashback
Jessica looked up from her letter and watched her daughter sleep peacefully. She didn't have a lot of time, they were coming for her and the only person who could keep her safe now was her father. Jessica turned around with tears falling down her face. She wrote a letter to Quil Sr. the chief of the Quileute tribe in La Push, Washington. He was the person that Jacob told her to contact if anything happened. Jessica hand moved swiftly as she wrote the letter, making sure not to leave anything out. She sealed the envelope and addressed it. She gathered her and her child and ran out of the hotel room. She took the service stairs to the front desk and left instruction for the letter to be sent out the next day. She quickly checked out and paid, as she walked out of the hotel her whole body tensed as she passed them. She knew it was them and she would have to remain calm if she wanted to make it out of there alive with her daughter.
End Flashback
Tatiaynna looked over at her aunt and smiled, she didn't want to leave her life and all her friends but she understood they had to leave. Her aunt Marie taped up another box and labeled it for the movers. Tatiaynna knew why but didn't understand why she was the only one that was leaving this time. Usually it was always her, Raven and her aunt Marie that moved. Something had happened; her aunt was acting secretive and hushed. All she kept saying to her was that it was time for her to live with her father and his new wife and children. Tatiaynna was livid, live with her father and his new wife, their children. Why would her aunt do this to her…didn't she want her around anymore. What had she done that had been so bad that she had to send her away to live with them?
Okay maybe the fight at school was a bit much, but Tracy Hilman started it. It wasn't my fault the bitch couldn't fight worth shit. And it wasn't like I meant to break her nose or her ribs. I told the bitch I was sorry, I even sent her a get well fruit basket. I took one last look around what use to be my room. I turned around to see Aunt Marie holding my suit cases.
"I know I haven't said much but I figured it was your father's place to explain this. That's the way your mother would have wanted it. But don't you ever doubt that I love you girl. If Jacob's new wife is mean to you, let me know and I will not hesitate to kick her ass."
"I love you too auntie. I know everything happens for a reason but I just wish for once I was in the loop."
I walked out of my room and followed my aunt downstairs and to the car that was waiting for me. I kissed my aunt one last time and got into the car. The driver came around shut my door and put my luggage in the trunk. I didn't have enough strength to turn and wave, I guess I'm a coward when it comes to goodbyes.
Jacob POV
I walked into my daughter's new room; I couldn't believe I would finally meet her. I have waited so long…I wondered if she even looked like me. Would she look like her mother Jessica? Would she hate me for not being there. Edward walked up to me and laid his hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry yourself, it will all work out. Tatiaynna is family and she will always be family. We will love her like she's our blood, you know that."
"I know but will she love us back."
I turned and walked out of the room, I needed to go for a run to clear my head before Tatiaynna got here. How was I going to explain what I had done to her and her mother? Would she even understand the danger we were in or imprinting? I couldn't stand to lose her like I had lost Jessica. I ran to the edge of the forest and phased. As I ran I could hear my pack in my head trying to give me words of encouragement. I asked them to let me be for the moment. That this was something I had to deal with on my own. I had so many questions. Was she more wolf or vampire, was she like my other three children? What powers did she have, does she phase…?
"Hey I know you asked us not to bother you, but you have been gone for two hours. Tatiaynna is on her way to the house. Renesmee wants you to come home, she's worried about you."
"Shit…I lost track of time. Thanks Quil, let Nessie know I'm on my way."
Tatiaynna POV
So I'm sitting in this cab on my way to my father's house where he lives with his wife Renesmee and my two brothers and sister along with his wife's family. I can't wait to see this unfold. I just keep smelling the last letter I received from him before I left. Taking in my father's scent and trying to imagine what he looks like. Going over in my head how life with them was going to be. I have never really lived with both vampires and wolves before. There was only my aunt, Raven (who's a hybrid like me) and my aunt's family and they were vampires. I remember my aunt telling me that my siblings were just like me and that we had to stick together. Especially because I was the oldest and my mother would have wanted me to take care of my brothers and sister. I asked the cab driver to stop right outside of Folk's and let me out. I paid him extra and told him to take my luggage to the house; I had the address plus my father's scent. If I tracked him to the house I would be there shortly. I waited until the cab pulled off and I backed into the forest. I needed to get a look at my new family situation. Once I had gotten deeper into the forest I phased and ran towards the house. I could smell my father's scent right away; it was the same from the letter he had sent to me. He smelled of grass and earth, I couldn't help but love the way my father smelled. I had my clothes in my mouth and as I got about a mile to the house, I could smell others. I knew they would smell me too, damn I had forgotten to stay down wind. I also sensed other vampires, where they apart of my family? I couldn't take that chance. Shit I was so close to the house, I reached out with my mind and sent a call to my brothers and sister. I knew I had never spoken with them, but no time like the present. I didn't want to accidentally kill any of my new family.
"Ayden, Brendon, Michelle it's me Tatiaynna. I'm in the woods about a mile from the house and I don't know whose family and who's not. Don't want to hurt anyone."
"Tatiaynna? Its Ayden hold on I'm coming. Not that far from you."
It was my brother Ayden that answered, I heard a snap and then I came face to face with a huge large black wolf. It snarled at me and hunched its back…two vampires and a large grey wolf jumped down in front of me. I backed up and the grey wolf turned to me and gave me a wolfy grin. This had to be my brother Ayden, I let him know I was phasing back. I ran behind a downed log and put my clothes on. When I walked back I was greeted with a huge crushing hug. After being released I looked up into the face of my younger but oh so much bigger brother Ayden. I was greeted by a very excited vampire with pixie like features. She introduced herself to me as my aunt Alice and the other vampire was my uncle Jasper. I turned to look at some guy standing with his back to me yelling at my uncle Jasper.
"What the hell is going on here? How the fuck was I to know that Jacob's bastard would be out here roaming the forest trying to get killed!"
What did he just call me? Oh hell no, I'll kick his sorry ass back to the reservation. I pushed Ayden into a tree and threw myself onto the guy that was yelling at my uncle Jasper. Before anyone could stop me, I had successfully broken this asshole's nose, jaw, and few of his ribs. My brother Ayden and Uncle Jasper pulled me off of his sorry ass.
"Don't you ever in your life talk about me like that…you pussy ass punk! I'll kick your sorry ass back to the reservation if I ever hear my name on your lips!"
"Tatiaynna! Calm down he didn't mean it… My uncle Jasper tried to tell me."
"Get that crazy bitch under control…." But Samuel stops talking mid sentence.
Samuel just stood there in the middle of his sentence and stared at me while my uncle and brother tried to hold me back from getting at him again. Why the hell was he just standing there looking at me like that? Did he want some more?
"What the fuck are you looking at punk ass bitch! You want some more!"
My brother turned to see what his friend was staring at when he saw Samuel standing there staring at me, all I could hear was him yelling.
"Oh no, no, no, oh hell no! Sam you can't be serious? My sister Sam shit!"
Ayden's POV
Why the hell was he just standing there like that, staring at my sister…?
"Oh no, no, no, oh hell no! Sam you can't be serious? My sister Sam shit!" Uncle Jasper you and Aunt Alice drag my sister home to meet the rest of the family. I need to talk with Samuel.
I watched as my uncle Jasper sent calming waves to Tatiaynna so that they could get her home. Than as she calmed down and ran off with my aunt and uncle I turned back and looked at my best friend Samuel. This could not be happening, Samuel Uley Jr. just imprinted on my older sister Tatiaynna. She hadn't even been here an hour and already things were complicated.
"Sam, my sister? She hasn't even been here an hour and you imprinted on her? Damn, dad is not going to be happy about this."
"I have to make sure she's okay. I didn't hurt her did I?"
"Dude! I need to ask you that, she fucked you up!" I laughed as I help my best friend back to my house so my great grandfather could patch him up. As we walk out of the forest and into the yard my sister Michelle is running up to us yelling and screaming how she's going to kick Sam's ass.
"If you ever put your hands on my sister again..."
"Michelle! Take a number, Tatiaynna already beat his ass. Plus I think the only time he will want to put his hands on her will be too…"
"Oh, my God! He what! Tati isn't going to like this."
"Just help me get him to Grandpa Carlisle's office. Than help me think of a way to break it too dad and Tatiaynna."
Tatiaynna's POV
I watched my brother Ayden and my sister Michelle help that asshole into the house. Then I watched a very handsome man walk over to me with a huge smile on his face. I could tell instantly it was my dad, I recognized the scent from earlier. I let him wrap his arms around me and kiss the top of my head. If I didn't know any better I would have guess him at being around 25. Then he let go and a small woman walked up to me and hugged me. I took in her scent too, she smelled like French vanilla. I looked at her and smiled, this must be my father's wife Renesmee. Damn she looked like she could be my older sister not my step-mother. I couldn't help the emotions that came over me; I didn't want to let them see me cry. I don't want them to think me weak. So I did the only thing I could do. I took off running.
Edward's POV
I could feel her confusion and hurt, she was so alone and scared. She didn't want to let us see her cry. She didn't want to seem weak. Then she took off, if it had not been for my vampire abilities I wouldn't have seen her leave. I took off after her; damn she's faster than me! I would have to tell Carlisle about this, I wonder what else she could do. Then I lost her, I had to laugh because that's never happened before. It was as if she just disappeared. I ran back to the house; when I walked in I sat down beside my wife Bella. I turned to Bella as she smiled at me. I listened to my grandson explain why his best friend was in our house begging for Tatiaynna.
"It seems that Sam's son Samuel has imprinted on our granddaughter Tatiaynna." Bella said with a slight grin.
"Jacob does not look pleased about that. Tatiaynna is faster than me, I actually lost her. I don't want her in the forest alone so I came back to get Jacob and the boys. Jacob stop torturing that poor boy. Tatiaynna out ran me and I lost her in the forest. It's as if she disappeared. I think she's able to mask herself. I believe she is still close by just hiding."
"Don't bother she's coming now…" Alice said as there was a soft knock at the door.
I got up and opened the door. Tatiaynna threw herself into my arms and started crying. Jacob came over and picked her up and carried her to her room. I watched my other grandchildren follow their dad upstairs to comfort her. Once I heard them in her room, I turned to Carlisle and Esme sitting on the other sofa. I let them know how she out ran me and then somehow cloaked herself. I couldn't catch her and was forced to come back and get Jacob and the others to help. I explained how she was feeling and how I knew she was about to run. Carlisle smiled and touched Esme's hand.
"It's never easy losing a parent, the fact that she has had to be uprooted from the only life she knows is got to be upsetting. Edward I am curious as to what other abilities Tatiaynna has and who her mother was. See if Jacob will give us more information when he comes down."
Tatiaynna's POV
I was surrounded by my new family…I know I should be happy right now. But I couldn't help but feel like a liability to them. I looked up at my brothers and sister and they smiled at me.
"So, you have been here all of two hours and you managed to kick Sam's ass."
I looked at my brother Ayden as he said it and laughed.
"He started it." I said and then started pouting. My sister Michelle sat down on the bed beside me and put her arms around me. I leaned on her shoulder and sighed.
"So what's the damage? I'm sorry I ran off like that dad. I just didn't know what else to do."
"Its okay but next time just talk okay? I'm going to leave you with your brothers and sister."
I watched my dad leave and heard him walked down the stairs. I heard whispering but I couldn't concentrate on what was being said because my other brother Brendon started talking.
"So Tati…fight much?" Brendon asked
"Tati?"
"Oh yeah Michelle here gave you a nickname, so don't kill the messenger." Brendon smiled at me and I laughed.
How could I be mad at any of them when I had never had siblings before but had always wanted some? It was like a wish and a nightmare coming together in this thing called my life. I stared at my brothers and sister for the first time today. I noticed how similar we all where. I found that kind of funny being they were Native American and White and I was Black, Puerto Rican and Native American. My brothers were easily 6 ft 7, russet brown skin, shoulder length black hair and their deep chocolate brown eyes they looked just like my father. Their scents were even different, they both smelled like leaves in autumn but Brendon had a minty smell where Ayden smelled of spice and leaves. Then there is my baby sister Michelle, she was 5 ft 8. Her skin was a light olive, she had long black hair that almost came to her waist. She must take after her mother more because her eyes were a beautiful blue, it was almost surreal how blue they were. She smelled like vanilla ice cream kinda like her mom. Then there's me 5 ft 7, darker olive tone and with long black hair with chestnut brown highlights. My eyes are violet which everyone tells me are like my mother's. My brother Ayden was the first to speak again after the long silence.
"Tati, how much do you know about us?"
"What do you mean?" I looked at Ayden.
"I mean how much do you know about us, like in being wolves?"
"Everything I guess, I didn't grow up with you but my mother's old friend Quil taught me a lot."
"So you know about imprinting?"
"Yeah, but don't worry I haven't imprinted yet. Have any of you?"
"Well Brendon imprinted on a girl named Alexa that goes to our school. Ayden hasn't and neither have I." Michelle said as she looked at Ayden.
"Well about you not imprinting yet, it might happen sooner than you think."
I was just about to ask Ayden what he was talking about when there was a soft knock at the door and it opened. There in my doorway was that asshole from earlier. I jumped up and punch him in the nose again hearing it break. I heard my brothers yell out damn! My sister Michelle grabbed me and pulled me back onto my bed. The guy looked up at me like I had really hurt him. I watched him adjust his nose before it started healing. My brother Brendon looked at me and laughed.
"Tati meet your imprintee, Samuel Uley Jr. of the Quileute tribe!"
