Chapter 3 - Grace (Edward's POV)
I stopped dead in my tracks. Her daughter? It would explain the striking resemblance, but yet I didn't want it to be true.
"How do I know that you aren't just lying?" I said, hoping that she was. "How do I know that you aren't just saying that just to get some answers out of me?"
"You don't," said she flatly. "But why would anyone else besides her daughter would want to know about her?"
"I don't know," I lied. Everyone in Forks wanted to know what happened between me and Bella the moment I returned. "But until you can prove that you are who you say you are, I'm not going to answer any questions you ask me about Bella."
I turned around to walk away as fast as I could to get away from her, but then she spoke, "Fine. Then, can you tell me what's your name?"
I was trapped. If Bella told her about what I was, then the second I tell her who I am, she'd be screaming her lungs out and running away. But if I didn't tell her, then that would mean she would follow me around until I tell her my name.
But then I thought, this is Bella's daughter, Bella's. The person who wasn't afraid of me and the only person I loved.
With a deep breath, I said, "Edward. Edward Cullen."
To my surprise, and relief, it didn't seem like she recognized the name at all.
"I'm Grace. Grace Black," she said, politely.
I stood there shock. "Black?" I said. Of course she would have chosen him. "Your father's Jacob Black?"
"Yeah," she said, curiously, "you knew him, too? I thought that he lived somewhere else."
"He did. Him and his pack lived up in -" I realized I'd said too much.
The girl was in shock. She stared at my in horror, wondering how I knew about her dad's "problem".
"I got to go," I said quickly before she could respond.
I turned around and ran. Hopefully, she wouldn't find the connection. Hopefully, she just thinks I'm an average, human boy. Even though I'm the complete opposite of average and human.
