Chapter 7

The next day after Jack had been examined and released, his sisters helped him into Emilia's car. Jasper and Edward were in Edward's Volvo just in front of them. The trio was going to follow the two brothers back to the Cullens' house to meet the rest of the family, where they were going to explain what had happened since Jasper had last seen Jack. The drive was spent mostly in silence. Jack was trying to get his story straight in his head, while Emilia and Cassandra were trying to remember what had happened before they had found Jack without letting the desperation and fear from that time overwhelm them. Finally, they pulled into a well-hidden driveway. The girls helped Jack out of the car, and the five headed towards the house.

The Morgan siblings were met at the door by Carlisle and a beautiful woman, who they assumed was his wife. Behind the pair in the living room were three others, a statuesque blonde looking bored and annoyed, a tall man looking very excited, and bubbly petite woman who hugged Jasper as he walked towards her. Jasper made the first introductions. "Jack, ladies, I would like you to meet my adoptive mother, Esme Cullen, my sister, Rosalie Hale, and my brothers Edward and Emmett. And of course, you have already met my adoptive father, Carlisle and my beautiful wife Alice." The siblings shook hands with each of the Cullens, Jack kissing the backs of the women's hands.

"It is a pleasure to meet Jasper's new family. I can tell he loves you as much as his old one. Allow me to introduce my twin, Emilia Morgan, and my younger sister, Cassandra Morgan." Niceties exchanged, they settled in the living room. "I see my story taking a lot longer to tell than yours, Jasper, since I think I know most of it, but I think we both have the same underlying questions. How are you still alive, and why do you look almost exactly the same as the last time I saw you?"

Jasper nodded. "I agree. I suppose that means I should start. Tell me Jack, do you…"

"I can't believe we are really going to tell him everything. We could get in so much trouble for this," Rosalie interrupted.

Alice glared at her. "I don't see the Volturi being a problem. Everything will be fine. They won't tell anyone, they have important secrets of their own."

Jack looked at her nervously and sighed. "Great, another seer. I hope you don't eternally predict death and destruction. One of those is enough for me."

Cassandra on the other hand was really excited. "I can tell we will be great friends." The Cullens looked at her, all of them confused, except Alice who looked excited. "I'm a seer too. I mostly see things related to my family but they are extremely vague, like I knew moving here would help us learn more about Jack, but I didn't know that you and your family would be important for that." Alice grinned back at her, and they both turned expectantly to Jack and Jasper. "You can start explaining now."

Jasper took a deep unnecessary breath, scared to be sharing so much of himself, and afraid his friend, no his brother, would hate him after this. "Alright then. Jack, do you believe in the supernatural?"
