Chapter 2

After an hour of explaining, Jacob and I were invited back to the Cullen's manor. Jake traveled as the werewolf. I flew with my wings in my human persona. It was a rarity for me to fly like this because it took up a lot of my energy but it was easier for my hand. When we all got there, we all sat there, staring at one another. Well I was focused on my hand. But they had a million questions for me and I had questions for them.

"So, Laila, how did you become the way you are?" Carlisle asked. He was a doctor so he was attempting to take a look at my hand but it was good enough that a doc didn't need to see it so I kept pulling away. I may not be indestructible like vampires but I healed faster then normal.

"I thought it wasn't possible." Edward stated.

"Well, apparently it is, for the most part, anyway." I said. Turning to Jake I said, "Get turned into a vampire while you're trying to change into your wolf form and you'll end up like me." Giving him a thumbs up, sarcastic about it to.

"What? You don't like being a hybrid?" Rosalie asked. I could tell if she being sarcastic like me or being sincere.

"Not really. Since I'm not even suppose to be alive. I've been looking for my ex-boyfriend who turned me so I can kill him. He broke nearly every bone in my body, Christmas Eve too. Its long, boring story." I said, giving a small smile.

"Wait, so he abused you?" Bella asked. She held a tight grip on her daughter, Renesme, who was technically younger then she looked. Her hand was entangled with Edwards. I smiled at their hands, feeling remorse but I still thought it was sweet.

I pulled my eyes up to look at her. "Yeah. We dated for 9 months. Well, technically it wasn't dating since I was under his special power. The ability to seduce and/or trance someone into thinking something that's a lie was their power. Daren, was his name, had a twin brother, who pulled Daren off me before he killed me. Daren and Damian. We were together for nine months and I was eighteen, so I didn't know any better. I didn't even know he was a vampire until the day he was going to suck me dry."

"How long ago was this?" Emmett asked.

"60 some-on years ago." I asked, trying to keep my hand away from Carlisle. My attempts were almost futile.

"Laila, please, let me see your hand." He pleaded.

"I'm fine. I'll be completely healed by tomorrow morning." I said, tucking my healing hand away. "Any way I'm not a fan of people touching me because of Daren. I haven't been in a relationship since Daren." Jasper looked sad when I said those words.

"Wow, super fascinating there, Laila." Rosalie stated. Now I really saw that she was sarcastic.

"Rose!" Everyone snapped but I just shrugged it off.

We stood up together. "Rosalie, do you have a problem with me?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow at her.

"I have a problem with your existence. How can u be a hybrid?!"

"ROSALIE!" Everyone yelled.

"C'mon, Rose, must you?!" Jake snapped far behind me.

"No, its okay. Would you like me to leave, Rosalie?"

"YES!" She snapped. She looked flustered and angry all at once. I almost smiled at her frustration

I almost said something but a voice came behind me. "Rose, stop picking fights with our guests. You did the same thing with Bella; you did it with all of us but Emmett. Don't start with our guests." Jasper came behind me, putting a hand on me. Usually I would've shyed away at any physical contact but he made me feel calm and unafraid. An empathic I figured. But there was something about Jasper. Something important I really should remember. Something that happened in my past that was somehow erased from my memory.

"Fine but the wolves aren't staying with us." Rosalie snarled and stormed out of the room.

"Well, she won't have to worry about me staying here." Jake said, from behind me. "I got to go guys. I'll see you all real soon."

"Jake don't be like that." Bella pleaded, walking towards him.

"Jakie, don't go." Renesme pleaded, running into his arms. They embraced for a long while. Renesme looked to her parents who reluctantly nodded. Jacob looked at me like he needed my permission.

"Don't turn to me, lover boy. I'm not your parent. That's Billy's job." I smirked and they ran excitedly outside.

"Well, if you don't have anywhere to go tonight, you can stay with us. If nobody else minds." Jasper asked his family.

"You'd really want a hybrid around?" I asked, incredulously. "When I visit the Volturi for my yearly check-in or any other vampire clans, they all hate me."

"What? Of course you can stay with us but we don't have any rooms open for you." Esme stated. She ran over and gave me a hug. I stood like stone at her touch. She quickly released me.

"She could always stay in old bedroom, that's right next to Jasper's old room." Edward stated. "Bella, Renesme and I can stay in our honeymoon house."

Jasper reached and gripped my hand. Instead of jumping fifty feet in the air, I gripped his hand back, like his hand was familiar in my own. "That's perfect." He said, turning to me and smiling at me. Still pondering over who he truly was to me and shocked and afraid, all at once, I smiled at him back.

Alrighty fans. Here's chapter 2. Enjoy! Remember, I own none of the twilight characters. Well, except Laila
