Chapter 4: Confrontations and Plans
Edward's POV
I was absolutely furious. Never in my life had I felt so angry about anything before! As soon as I was sure that Nessie was out of earshot I began to release my fury.
"Kate do you mind explaining why you have been friends with our daughter for years and we are just finding out about it now?!" I shouted.
"Well we were not sure if she was your daughter. She just seems so human now and she didn't have any memory of us" she attempted to explain.
"You should have still told us!" Bella shouted. "Don't you think that it's more then just a coincidence that she happens to have the exact same scent and the exact same name as our daughter?!" Bella shouted.
"You should have contacted us the moment that you and the others first came saw her" I said through gritted teeth. "Exactly how long have you all known her?!" I asked, but I was afraid to know the answer.
Kate looked scared now. How long had they known my daughter and we had no knowledge of it?!
Of couse I knew the answer before she even said it. "Three and a half years"
"and not once in three and a half years did you even bother to pick up the phone and call us to tell us that you might have found our daughter!" Bella screamed. She was angrier then a bull now. Much like I was.
"I'm sorry"Kate said. "We weren't sure if she was your daughter or not so we decided not to say anything for now just in case that she wasn't-"
"Save it Kate!" I shouted. "You all still suspected that she could be our daughter! That means that you all should have told us that you might have found our daughter after the very first time that you met her! You all have been friends with her for over three years and we are just finding out about her now!"
"You kept us from our daughter!" Bella screamed. "We could have found our daughter years ago had it not been for you all! Tell Tanya, Elezar, Carmen, and Garrett that we will be speaking to all of them about this. All though I am not sure that I will ever be able to forgive you all for this!" Bella said in an acid like tone.
"I am not sure that I will ever be able to forgive you all for this either!" I added.
"I am sorry" Kate said.
"Sorry does not undo what you did" I said before leaving. I heard footsteps following me. I looked back and saw that it was just Bella. We were both to angry and upset to even say anything.
We we got home everyone was waiting for us. Everyone was in the living room which was mainly used for family meetings. Though one member of our family was still not attending as she hadn't been for the past twelve years when she was snatched so easily from us when she was only one year old yet physically five at the time. Now we had found my daughter alive and well after so long and she didn't even remember us. I closed my eyes trying to tune out the stressed thoughts around me. My little girl was now grown up and didn't even get to see it happen. What kind of father am I if I couldn't reach my daughter in time the day she disappeared without a trace?
The first thing that we did was point our fingers at the Volturi. But after the us and the Wolves broke into their castle they were found to be innocent. In fact, Aro even sent some of his guard to help us search for her. Yet, in the end, they gave up.
Now we have finally found her here in Alaska. We had only come down here to visit the Denalis when Carlisle came across her scent in town. Oh the Denalis! If I had blood in my system it would be boiling right now! Just thinking of them right now made me so angry!
"We need to tell her!" Jacob shouted as he slimmed his fist down.
"Calm down Jacob" Jasper said as he sent a wave of calm towards him with his unique gift.
"If we tell her we will only scare the poor girl" Esme said.
"Esme is right" I said. "Renesmee has just lost her adoptive parents and if we just turn up out of nowhere how do you think that she will react?"
Bella began to cry. "I just want my baby back! It was killing me when I spoke to her earlier! She didn't even know who I was!"her voice was rising in pitch at the end. I walked over to her and hugged her.
"We will get her back, I promise" I said.
"But wait" Rosalie said with a thoughtful expression. "We can't just expect her to drop her current family, I mean as much as I want my beloved niece back It still wouldn't be right"
"I was watching her last night. She seems pretty close with them all and also it seems they are all each other have" Jacob said.
"This is going to be hard." Carlisle whispered then looked towards Bella who was still wrapped tightly in my arms. "Bella, you're her mother maybe you should be the one to earn her trust"Bella nodded once.
"If it gets my little girl back" She now looked incredibly determined standing at the side of me. I smiled down at her and she returned it. Now to set our plan in motion.
"There is also one other thing that everyone else should know" I said.
Then Bella said "The Denalis have been friends with her, her brother, and sister for the past three and a half years and they never once said anything to us"
It went so quiet that you could have heard a pen drop.
