When I was little girl, Mary told me never to go with strangers. But look what I was doing now! Ok so I guess the Cullen's aren't strangers but I certainly don't know them enough. But one thing is for sure, they know a lot about who I am.
I stepped out of Edward's Silver Volvo coming face to face with the Cullen house. I wasn't sure what I expected from the Cullens but I was a bit suprised. It was a rather large house paintd a soft, faded white, three stories tall, a bit rectangular and well proprtioned. It looked... timeless even though the house could well be over a hundred years old.
I didn't realize my mouth was hanging open like an idiot until Emmett chuckled, "Like what you see huh?"
"Umm... ya." I blushed red making him laugh again as he charged the house like a mad bull. I followed the short one named Alice up the shaded porch and though the restored cedar door. The inside was just as beautiful as the outside but it only makes sense that way. It felt as though I was here before in a long time ago almost in another life.
I did see Dr. Cullen once when I dropped off Mary's lunch but I never did see his wife Esme. She smiled with familiar eyes and automatically gave me a hug even though she barely knew me. "Please have a seat dear." Her expression very motherly making any little discomfort I had disappear. With all the excitement running throuhg me, I barely noticed Bella and Edward who were already seated.
Bella whispered something into Edward's ear, he nodded turning his gaze back to me. "Destiny can we umm… see you locket?"
I nodded silently handing him the solid gold piece of jewelry.
"Well that's proof enough." He muttered looking at the picture of my mother and father.
"Destiny where did you get this?" Bella questioned thinking all this was probably a dream.
"Mary said I've had it ever since I came to her doorstep." I whispered.
There was a big moment of awkward silence. Bella and Edward were stuck in deep thought making me a little annoyed. Edward had a small smiled on his lips as he realized my irritation.
"Destiny we're your grandparents." Bella said out of nowhere.
"What?! But you guys are like 17 years old that's impossible…"
"We're vampires Destiny and we aren't 17. We are far much older than that." Vampires? This has to be a joke! That's all myths and fairytales right? "I know it sounds crazy and sort of sudden but we do need you to understand a lot we're going to put out."
I nodded feeling a bit dizzy, "But then me…"
"You're only part vampire Destiny." Edward sighed. "You're mostly human and shapeshif-" He cut himself off realizing he's said too much.
"Shapeshift into what?" I asked knowing he was going to say shapeshifter.
He cursed under his breath, "Your father, Jacob Black, was a shapeshifter but don't get the wrong idea. He could only shift into a wolf and back."
"So like a werewolf?"
"I guess you could call it that." He muttered. Wow this just gets crazier and crazier.
"So how does Mom come into all this?" I wasn't going to forget my mom. If they really were vampires I needed to know the whole story.
"Your mother, Renesmee or Nessie as we preferred, is half human half vampire. She was conceived when Bella was still human but the birth was very… dramatic and we had to change her into a vampire." He explained.
"And then me….?"
Bella left the room as soon as she heard my question. But she just disappeared with speed. I guess it was safe to say she was a vampire and I doubt Edward could make all this up.
"On your mother's 7th birthday these powerful vampires named the Voturi came. They are considered royalty in our world and govern the laws I suppose. They wanted to test if you mother was… fertile." He hissed, a very dark edge to his voice.
"But we didn't know she was already pregnant, no one knew. Your father was bitten and died shortly. Renesmee was… broken and depressed. She took little interest to you after you were born still mourning after her loss. One week we stopped seeing you and after a few days we stopped seeing her too. After her supposed last visit, she went to the cliffs at La Push and jumped. The riptide caught her and she… d-drowned." His voice was careful now trying not to scare me, "We thought she jumped with you but we were able to find her body but never yours. We thought you were dead and then out of nowhere you show up in Forks Washington."
"Sorry." I whispered although an apology was a wasted effort.
Edward chuckled, "You have nothing to apologize for Destiny. We're just happy to see you again." He smiled warmly. That's when the feeling hit me. I just found my family! An even though I didn't see my mother or father, I still had a loving family I still have yet to know.
"And Destiny one more thing," Edward said, his voice careful again. "Whatever you do, don't go to La Push."
"Why?" I asked again curious.
"There are some things in this world you aren't ready for." With that I left the Cullen house Edward's words still throbbing in my head. La Push?
What's wrong with La Push? Lots of things that thanks to Destiny's carelessness will be answered in the next chapter. Reviews please?
