Chapter 2

Edward's View-

Running to my meadow seemed like a daily thing for me now. One I went there for some peace and quiet with Bella or Nessie. Two it was a very beautiful place to be. And now number 3 is because 2 new comers are there. I could hear 2 minds, but both were kinda fuzzy. One of them must be some type of mind reader or somewhere along those lines.

Seth quickly cam into view and he was actually slowing down. When I caught up to him I smelled a vampire I never wanted to smell again. Demetri. Why was he here and with a person like my daughter. Stopped next to Seth, I growled towards the new comers as a warning.

'What?' Seth thought glancing at me.

"Demetri. From the Volturi." I snarled still glaring at these to people. Seth looked in the direction and we both saw that they we walking towards us.

'Please, we mean no harm.' a females voice echoed through mine and Seth's heads. I stiffened at the sound going through my head, as well as Seth's. She must be a telopath. After a few seconds I calmed down a little bit and straightened up.

But I was not going to be nice towards them, "Why are you hear Demetri?" I growled.

"He's here because I asked him to come with me. He is my foster father after all." The girl spoke up walked closer to us.

Demetri adopted this girl?the youngest she had to have been was maybe 8 since that was the age that they stopped aging at. As the girl got closer she reminded me of a woman I once cared very much for. A woman like Bella. Kally's name rang through my head a thousand time until she got closer. The only thing that gave it off that she wasn't Kally was her eyes. They were pure emeralds. My... my eye color before I was changed...

"My name is Ceris Lace. I'm looking for a vampire named Edward Culled. Are you him?" She asked me as she stopped exactly 20 feet away from us.

Hiding my shock I answered as calmly as I could, "Yes, I am. Why are you looking for me?"

"Would you happen to remember a woman named Kally Jenson. This was about 19 years ago." She told me, which actually caused me to gasp.

"You know her?" I asked in a tone that I hoped would hide my true emotions.

"She was my mother. She died giving birth to me," Kally died even though I left? How can this be?, "Though daddy tried to save her. She left me this letter telling me something that made me come here."

Ceris tossed me a piece of paper that looked like it had been folded, opened, and refolded many times.

Ceris,

My baby girl. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there to tell you this but you need to know that Demetri is not your real father. A few months before I died giving birth to you, I became pregnant with you. Your real father is actually a man named Edward Cullen. He's a vampire like Demetri, except Edward and his family hunt animals instead of humans. I do hope you follow that life style and not kill a human one day. If you ever need help finding your father, talk to Demetri. He knows the leader of Edward's large family. His name is Carlisle Cullen, your grandfather.

I really am sorry I was not ale to see my beautiful baby grown up, and I hope that you are doing very well with your life. I also hope this doesn't change your out look on Demetri, he loves you like you were his own.

Also, be aware that Edward does not you even exist. So he may act hostile towards you at first, but in time he will come around. That's how he acted towards me when me and him first met.

Don't let this news change anything about you. You are perfect the exact way you are my rare baby. I love you with all my heart.

Grow and live free,

Kally Jenson Lace

I reread the letter a few times going over everything. This was not possible. Wait yes it was, but.... Why didn't she tell me?!

Wait I know the reason, I left her.... But this wasn't supposed to happen! She was supposed to live, get married, have so many children.

I looked back up to the only daughter of Kally, and saw yet again about how much she looked like her mother, then there were the features of me she had. My eyes, her attitude, even the air about her.

"So your saying your supposed to be my child?" I asked knowing the answer though I didn't want to believe any of it.

"Edward, This is my mother's last words to me. Be careful about what you say next." She growled. Damn, she really did sound like Kally.

But that doesn't mean she's mine! "Well, your not my child! She must have gotten me confused with someone else." I growled and began walking away.

"Exactly what are you saying about my mother, your ex girlfriend?" She asked bringing me to a stop, "That she was a liar, A whore who managed to find another vampire boyfriend that didn't kill her? Look at the facts Edward. You, aside from Demetri, are the only vampires she dated."

I continued to face away from her as I glared at the ground.

"She's right Edward. I know Kally very well. When she arrive in Rome, pregnant with Ceris, she told me you were the father. That you left her the next day after you two had sex." Demetri spoke up placing a hand on Ceris' shoulder trying to calm her down.

I turned around glaring at both of them. "Well I won't believe it. This hybrid is not my daughter. My daughter is safe at home with my foster father and father-in-law." I growled to them.

Quickly Bella appeared at my side and she looked at me carefully.

"Edward, what's going on?" She asked as everyone else came. Jacob, Jasper, Embry, and Carlisle.

"Nothing." I growled and began walking away again.

"Liar." I heard Ceris growl.

Bella looked over to Ceris and Demetri, "Who are you?" she asked.

"His Bastard," The girl growled, "And he's not man enough to believe the truth."

I began growling again and staid in place glaring at anything I could. Damn that child!

"Your his child?" Carlisle asked looking at Ceris.

Ceris lightened up a little then said, "You must be Carlisle. You remember a woman Edward dated 19 years ago? A woman by the name of Kally Jenson?"

"Yes, she was a sweet young woman. But we made sure she didn't get to involved with us." Carlisle stated.

"Apparently not. Kally got pregnant by Edward the day before you left where ever it was mom had met all of you. I'm his child whether he likes it or not. And frankly, I could careless. My father is Demetri Lace." Ceris replied bluntly like she could care less about me. If that was the reason then why the hell was she here?! "But I will not have anyone of you call my mother a whore or a liar."

Okay, now I know I made her pissed. But what I felt was shock and I was also pissed as hell by her knife like words. Bella the whole time was looking at me like she was really confused.

"Edward," Jasper began, "Give her a chance. She came just trying to meet..."

"She is not my child!" I yelled and took off like a bat out of hell before I could hear any more of what that monster had to say.

I stormed into the house and passed my daughter.

She looked rather worried but I ignored everyone and everything.

"What's biting your ass?" Emmett asked.

"That damn new comer." I growled pacing around.

"Who are they?" Esme asked.

I looked to Renesmee then back to mom. I pulled her over to me and whispered to her even to a point to where Nessie could not hear a sound.

"The new comer is the daughter of Kally Jenson. She claims I'm her father. She brought Demetri with her as well." I told Esme.

Esme looked really shocked then turned her attention to outside where we could easily see Bella and Jacob talking with Ceris, and Demetri chatting with Carlisle. Bella seemed to enjoy Ceris' company, they were smiling, at each other and never once did I hear a bad though about my wife.

I looked around outside and saw Seth walking back slowly keeping his eyes locked on Ceris. Why-

Oh damn! I groaned in pain as I saw the thoughts of Ceris in his arms. Nothing sexual, but her simply being there smiling. I saw how he thought Ceris looked so perfect sitting by the stream.

"Dammit Seth!" I hissed.

"What?" Sue asked walking over to me.

"He imprinted on Ceris." I groaned hitting my head on the wall, "And what type of name is Ceris?!"

"Don't make fun of her name!" Esme chided me.

"Yes mom." I sighed.

Just then Jacob came in quickly and picked Renesmee up in his arms.

"Where are you going with my daughter?" I asked darkly.

"Taking her over to meet Ceris." Jacob answered calmly.

"Says who?" I asked again growling a little bit as well.

"Bella." He replied rolling his eyes then went out the door.

I looked over to my wife ans supposed child seeing them getting along rather well. Bella was talking with a smile on her face then it became a frown.

'Nessie's lucky to have her.' Ceris thought looking to the ground. Bella tried to comfort Ceris and it seemed to work a little.

When Jacob was about 10 feet away from Bella and Ceris Nessie put her hand to Jacob's face and asked if Ceris was like her. Jacob nodded to her in reply and she went nuts trying to get to Ceris. But unfortunately Nessie noticed the uncanny likeness between Ceris and I. As soon as Nessie jumped into the arms of Ceris she put both hands on her face and they're foreheads were touching. Nessie showed Ceris an image of Ceris herself then an image of me. Both of those images looked alike. Dear god, this was my child! But.... No!

Ceris was about to tell Renesmee why we looked alike and I found myself a few yards away from then yelling to Ceris not to tell Nessie.

'She deserves to know father!' Ceris thought looking upset with me.

"She will not know! Because what you say is not true!" I continued to lie to myself.

Nessie wasn't used to seeing me like this and hugged Ceris tightly looked between both of us very carefully. The next move Renesmee played I didn't ever see coming.

"Daddy, why does she look like you?" She asked me

I froze instantly as I looked at her in shock. What was I supposed to tell her?! That she apparently have a half sister? That they don't share the same mommy?! I couldn't tell her. No I wouldn't!

"Don't lie to her." Ceris hissed to me as she held onto Renesmee protectively.

Nessie looked up to her sister and tilted her head to the side like a puppy would when confused.

Ceris breathe in deeply then said what I wouldn't, couldn't.

"The reason I look like your father is because he's my father as well." She said slowly.

I growled lowly at Ceris for this and carefully watched Renesmee to see how she would react to this. But she surprised me. She squealed and engulfed Ceris into a very big hug.

"I have a big sissy!" she chimed as she hugged Ceris even tighter.

Ceris smiled down to Nessie and hugged my daughter back. I noticed she looked at Bella and, then I did as well. Bella looked like she was about to cry, or that is she would if she could. In the back of my mind I heard a faint whisper come from Ceris.

I felt glad that I had a little sister, and that she accepted me for who I was even though we had met merely seconds ago.

Okay, now I felt shitty. Wait....

"Jasper! Cut that out!" I yelled to my brother that was 4 yard away from me smiling innocently.

"I didn't do a thing." Jasper laughed walking towards my daughters, "It's an honor to meet you, Ceris. I'm J-"

"Jasper Whitlock Hale. You can manipulate emotions." Ceris giggled at a dumb struck brother of mine, "Daddy has told me all about your family. It's an honor as well to meet you."

I glared at Demetri who was just smiling at my daughter.

"Well, I hope you know that I'm also your uncle." Jasper chuckled patting Ceris' head.

Ceris giggled in delight and stud up, still holding onto Renesmee. My youngest smiled in delight, while Jacob on the other hand I thought would be frowning, was actually smiling. Jacob walked over to Ceris and put an arm around her shoulder, "Welcome to the family."

"Who are you to say she can stay with us?" I growled.

Ceris rolled her eyes at me then smiled at Jacob, "Actually I only came here to visit. Apparently I'm not welcome so...."

"No! Daddy she has to stay!" Nessie cried clinging onto Ceris for dear life.

"Nessie, if father says no, then I have to leave." Ceris whispered, "But that doesn't mean I won't come and visit as often as possible."

"But- Daddy, please let sissy stay.." My youngest sobbed.

I gaped at both of my daughters, Ceris was frowning at me, and Renesmee was crying. My head fell back in defeat.

"Y-you can freaking stay...." I ground out.

"Yes!" I heard Seth yell. Everyone turned to him with a curious look, and Demetri simple hissed at Seth.

"Daddy, cut it out." Ceris hissed back then walked over to Seth. Jacob followed because Nessie was still in her arms.

"Sorry, we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Ceris Lace." She said softly blushing slightly.

"I'm Seth Clearwater. I'm a really close friend of Edward's. It's really nice to meet you." Seth said holding his hand out to my oldest child.

Ceris took it smiling then she gasped when they're hands touched.

'Wow... she's so beautiful and nice and warm and.... perfect...' Seth's mind trailed off into thoughts of holding Ceris, kissing Ceris, and going on a date with Ceris?

I groaned and walked over to them.

"Seth, please. It's bad enough I have to hear those thoughts with Jacob. I don't need your thoughts as well." I mumbled putting a hand on the back of Ceris' back.

Ceris stiffened at my touch but relaxed after a few seconds. Demetri walked over to us and looked over Seth.

"Let me guess... You imprinted on my daughter?" he asked looking bored.

Seth's eyes widened quickly and faintly you could see a blush rising on his russet skin. Seth then nodded to Demetri.

Demetri sighed deeply and looked at Ceris who seemed confused.

"What is imprinting?" She asked her foster father.

"It's a sense these dogs have. I don't know the full thing about it, but it does mean he's in love with you." Demetri grumbled.

Ceris turned her attention quickly to Seth and looked at him very carefully.

'Why? He does seem nice, he's calm, really cute, but...' she trailed off.

"Jacob imprinted on me!" Nessie pipped up.

Ceris whipped her head around to Jacob with a look that showed she was about to be sick.

"It's not like that!" Jacob groaned, "For now, I'm just the closest thing she has to a brother, or I'm her best friend. Later in life, I could be her boyfriend, or even still be her friend. The thing about imprinting is that we have one goal then. Actually make that 2."

Ceris seemed to lighten up after hearing that.

'That's still kinda sick though.' she thought looking down at her little sister, 'I'll just have to keep an eye on them from now on.'

I smiled at that. Good, her sister would be watched like a hawk when you add her father, mother, older sister, aunts, uncles, then grandparents. Heh. This is going to be fun.

"And that is to protect our mate, and make sure that mate is happy." Seth mumbled looking at Ceris with very loving eyes. I'll never understand these creatures!
