Candy's twilight

Part 2:


As he opened the box, Carlisle saw 6 golden rings with a stone and his family crest on it as well as a letter.

He opened the letter.

"My dear Carlisle,

I'm glad that you decided to follow my advice and change Edward. He will be a good companion for you, a friend, a brother, a son… You can trust each other.

Remember when I asked you to take my virginity because I didn't want to die a virgin? Well, you got me pregnant.

I have to confess that I knew this would happen… It was meant to happen this way… Half-vampire children are rare but they exist (in South America you can meet some). Usually they reach their maturity in 7 years but I put a spell on our daughter so she would age at a normal speed.

Please don't be mad at me, I really believe that I did what was best for everyone's future… You and she have a destiny… She had to go through the trials of life and the pain she felt growing up so she could be the way she is now…

You have a daughter, her name is Candice White. She will take your name once you tell her the truth; she will accept the supernatural world without problems.

She works as a nurse in a small clinic you have heard of two weeks ago… Doctor Martin's free clinic…

She was adopted by William Ardley but he isn't around and the rest of his family did their best to get her fired from where she used to work. If they hadn't, you would have met her earlier…

She will be 18 soon and my spell will lose its effect, she will then need some blood from time to time.

The rings are for you and your future family. When you wear the rings, it will prevent the sun from making you sparkle. Candy won't need it but I made a necklace for her with your crest, she will want to wear it. One is for you, one for Edward, one for your mate, one for Candy's mate and one for Edward's mate. They are spelled to help the carrier of the ring control his or her bloodlust.

Please don't be mad at me,

Always your friend,

Cassandra"

"Wow… that's some news… Are you okay Carlisle?" Edward asked him.

Somehow, he knew the letter was right, he already felt really close to his maker. They were friends already…Family.

"I'm so confused… I trust her when she says she had to let it happen this way… I think I can understand this whole destiny staying on the right course thing…but…I have a daughter!" Carlisle said.

They decide to go find Candy.

They put the rings on and went for Doctor Martin's free clinic.

As they arrived, they could see a young blond girl who was really cheerful and was saying goodbye to some children who seemed to adore her. When they were gone, she went back inside, said goodbye to the good doctor, took her purse and left after reminding him not to get drunk.

"She might be smiling but something makes her sad." Edward said.

"Can you read her mind?" Carlisle asked.

"No… Maybe because she is half-vampire…" Edward answered.


They saw her going through the park and easily caught up with her.

Carlisle introduced himself as Doctor Cullen so Candy stopped and listened to them. The blond doctor was nervous and didn't know how to start…

"Excuse me…Miss Ardley?" Carlisle said to catch his daughter's attention.

"It's Miss White…Do I know you from somewhere? You seem somewhat familiar…" She asked.

"I'm…hum…I'm doctor Carlisle Cullen, this is Edward Masen…I have something really important to tell you…" He was short of words for the first time in his long life.

"If Great aunt Elroy is sending you I don't want to hear it! I will not marry Niel Leagan. She can have me banned from every hospital in this country if she wants, I'll just go work somewhere else, it's a very big world, you can tell her that!" Candy said as she started to walk again, a little faster.

"No, I'm not sent by your great aunt… I'm your father!" Carlisle said effectively stopping Candy in her walk.

"You're the Great uncle William?" she asked, confused.

She had always pictured the man much older, with some kind of beard.

"No… Candice, I'm your biological father… I've learned of your existence only a few days ago and I came immediately to find you." He said.

"Is this a joke? How much did Eliza paid you to play this sick joke on me?" Candy was angry now.

"It's not a joke Candice… please let me explain things to you…" Carlisle begged.

Candy saw a honesty in his eyes that made her want to ear more.

"Then please explain how you can be my father when you're barely a few years older than me. You don't look a day over 25!" Candy said.

"It's going to be hard to believe, you should sit down…" Carlisle said as he pointed her toward a bench that was out of the way and slightly isolated.

Once she was seated, he began his explanation. He had never been more nervous in his entire life.

"I'm a vampire… No, don't interrupt me until I'm done please… It's hard enough to find the right words… Your mother was a witch… We were friends and she knew she was dying… She saw things about the future, I don't think I'll ever know what exactly, but she asked me to give her the one experience she wanted to have before dying… Me being a vampire and so much harder than her made it difficult but we managed…2 weeks later she was gone with a letter asking me not to look for her until I met Edward here… Then I managed to open a box that she had magically sealed…" He stopped to see if she was in shock or not.

"I always knew that there was another world out there… But how do I know this is not a joke? My instinct tells me to believe you, but my instinct has hurt me before…" Candy said with sorrow in her eyes. Edward didn't need to be able to read her mind to know that something was hurting her.

"Candice…" Carlisle started.

"Candy… You can call me Candy." She interrupted him.

"Candy, I brought you your mother's letter. It will explain everything better than I ever could…" The new found father said with a small smile.

He handed his daughter the letter and she began her reading. When he saw that she was done reading he handed her the necklace.

"It's beautiful…" She said before adding: "Can you help me put it on?".

As Carlisle helped Candy put her necklace on, Edward said:

"I can take mine off if you want, the sun is still shining out of the trees and you would have your proof." He said.

She nodded and he ran at vampire speed to the edge of the trees to show her his sparkles. After a few seconds, he put his ring back on and ran back to her.

"I think I have to believe you… We do seem to look alike…" Candy said as she looked at the doctor closer.

"You have my mother's eyes…" Carlisle said while stroking his daughter's cheek.

"Why don't you come with me to my apartment…I don't know if you eat food but I do and I'm starving." She said as she led them to her small empty apartment.


On the way and in the apartment, she proceeded on telling her father all about her life. Edward had decided to go back home and leave them to their reunion for the time being.

She told Carlisle about Pony's home, how she was almost adopted but gave it away for Annie, how Annie gave up on their friendship to be adopted by the parents that had wanted to adopt her first. She described the place to him, and told him about her Prince of the hill, about the Leagans, Anthony, Archibald, Alistair, Albert, her being send to Mexico only to be adopted by the Great Uncle William, how Anthony died… she told him about St Paul and the trip there, she told him about Terry… She cried as she told him everything about Terry, and Eliza's hurtful actions… She seemed to be all out of tears when she finished with her latest pains… Alistair going to war, her being blamed, her being fired and unable to find a job in a good hospital, Albert leaving her, Terry having to choose between love and duty… she told him that she made the choice for him and had to live with it everyday… he soothed her, told her he would do anything in his power to make her happy again…

"Everything will be all right Candy; I promise you I will do anything in my power to make you happy again…" He said in a forceful promise.

"You're not going to leave me?" She asked.

"Of course not, I just found you…You're my daughter and I know I love you already… If you want to stay here we will stay, but if you want to leave and start over somewhere else we will…" he told her.

"I think I want to start over…" She said yawning.

"You're exhausted. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning. You go to sleep; Edward and I will be by around 10 tomorrow morning." He said as he kissed her forehead.

She nodded her agreement and he left.


When she woke up, Candy wrote a letter to the Great Uncle William, another one for Albert, one for Annie, Archibald and Patty, one for Doctor Martin and one for Miss Pony and Sister Lane.

She told them all that she found her biological father and that she needed a new start away from the pain, that she loved them all a lot but needed to be with her family, that she was tired of the Leagan's doing everything in their power to destroy her, that she was leaving town with her father and not to wait for her to come back.

Everything she owned fit in one small suitcase and she was ready when Carlisle came to pick her up. This time Edward had come with him and he helped her carry her few possessions to their car.

"Don't you want to take that poster?" Edward asked pointing to the "Romeo and Juliet" poster with Terry on it.

"It hurts too much…" she said as she left the room, trying very hard not to look at the big picture of Terry.

Edward quickly took the poster down and folded it in his jacket, knowing she would want it later on.
