Here's the next chapter! Sorry, it's a shorty! Will update soon!
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?"
Mischa was less the pleased to see her boyfriend, friends, and wannabe boyfriend in Wolf Trap, Virginia. She knew they might go looking for her, but she hadn't actually counted on them managing to find her.
"Us? What are you doing here? You up and left with only a vague note that only explain not to look for you!" Edward was very annoyed. He goes through all this trouble to find his missing girlfriend, he travels across the entire continent with those disgusting wolfs, and when he finally finds her, she yells at him! "So you expect us not to care enough to try and find out where you've gone? Is that it?
"Yeah, well if you could read, you'd know I didn't want you here so you can just-"
"Mischa, you are being rude." Hannibal chastised her.
Bella pulled herself back with a little pout. She's 18 years old, but her papa still makes her feel like a small child.
"Sorry" she mutters while looking down at the floor. There was an awkward pause before Abigail cleared her throat, breaking the spell on the room.
"Well why you all don't come in, and we can get acquainted." She gave them a dainty, welcoming smile as if all was fine, then motioned for them all to come in and get settled.
"Of course. Please do come in." Hannibal agreed. It was rude to leave guests outside. Though he was less then pleased with this new development, he could work with it. All the vampires and wolves gave Hannibal a strange looks as they entered the rustic farm house.
"Well, why don't I start the introductions? My name is Carlisle Cullen, and this is my daughter Alice, and my sons, Edward and Emmett." Carlisle waved his hand at each vampire as he said their name. He gave Jacob a heavy glance that motioned for him to be polite. Jake rolled his eyes before taking up the intros.
"Alright, I'm Jake, and this is Quil and Embry. The one with the death glare is Leah." That just made Leah turn her glare towards him.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Abigail Hobbs, I'm a family friend of..." Abigail paused with anticipation, as if she was trying to think of what to say, and then continued on. "Bella and her mother." Abigail nervously adjusted her scarf as she spoke. She knew who these people were and what they meant to Mischa. If they were going to be related one day, she wanted to make a good first impression.
"Indeed, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and I am Mischa's father." Hannibal let out a somewhat restrained smile. Mischa was sure that all the vamps and wolfs jaws just unhinged.
"What?!" was the only thing that Jacob could say. He was better off than the rest.
Leah's death glare deepened, and Emry and Quil's amiable faces suddenly sported deep frowns.
The vampires were eyeing at the man in the suit like he had grown a third eye. They were old enough to remember the news reports about him. The stories were in every daily paper you came across back then. You couldn't walk five feet in a public area without hearing his name, and the words paired with it were often even more gruesome than a vampire could handle.
Mischa had had enough of this. "Papa, Abigail, leave. I want to talk to them alone." She gave them a willful look. Hannibal thought about it for a second before nodding his head.
"Alright. Come Abigail, why don't we go upstairs?" They both headed up, the others watching them hesitantly. When she heard a door click, Mischa turned to the other occupants of the living room.
"You should sit down, I have a lot to explain." Edward looked at her, then nodded.
"Yeah, your right."
After they all got settled, Quil opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Mischa.
"I will explain everything, just don't interrupt. In order for you to understand, there can't be any commentary." Mischa took a deep breathe before continuing. "I was born under the name Mischa Lector, daughter of Hannibal Lecter and Willona Graham-Lecter. Papa was a psychiatrist, and Mama was a teacher and profiler for the FBI. We had a perfect life. My parents were madly in love. They got married right before Mama started showing." Tears were starting to roll down her face. Edward reached over to squeeze her hand. All the anger he had felt was melting away. "One day, Abigail, who is like an older sister to me, picked me up early for school. She said we had to go to the hospital. Mama and Papa had gotten into a heated argument that day. Papa had almost gutted my mother because she had figured it out, figured out what he is. And she was terrified of it." Bella looked down at Edward's hand as the tears flowed down her cheeks and onto her blouse. She squeezed it harder.
"The times that followed was horrible. Mama was in the hospital for months, and afterwards we had to go to court in order to testify. Then, we left everything to start over in Florida. We had some nice, quiet years until Mama was brought back again for the case. That's when it hit the fan again. We were brutally attacked in our home after the trial. We moved again. This time, we changed our appearances and our names, in order to escape the past." Bella wanted to look away. She didn't want her loved ones seeing her like this. She wanted to appear strong.
"But we just can't. Papa's escape wasn't the worst of what happened. A bad man that my parents had wronged wanted revenge. He didn't feel that they had suffered enough. He sent his lackey, James, to kill me and hurt my parents. When that didn't work, he decided to try a different way to get back at them. He kidnapped my mother, and tried to kidnap me, as bait for my father. I contacted Papa and Abigail to help me rescue her." by the time Mischa was done, her red face was wet with tears. Now that her troubles were shared, the grief stricken faces around the room multiplied. The tension was cut when Embry spoke up.
"What did your dad do?"
"Haven't you ever heard of "Hannibal the Cannibal?" Emmett asked with an unbelievable look on his face. With that comment, the light bulb clicked for the dogs. Quil shook his hands through his hair before commenting:
"Wow, and I thought that my family was messed up."
