Okay so this is a really cool chapter. It explains so so so much.

MPOV

Just then Fang's Flock ran into the room. They were followed by my family, the Cullen's – and a few Hales. Ma looked like she was about to kill someone. Then she saw Nudge. Her face twisted into rage. She lunged for Nudge, but I ran to her, and stopped the attack.

"Stop it, Ma. Just stop," I said, a warning glazing my voice.

"Fine," she said, standing up again with her arms crossed. She huffed some hair out of her face.

"Okay. I think this could be settled by talking instead of fighting, don't you think?" A voice said from behind everyone. My family – that includes the Flock, kind of – parted like the Red Sea. And Jeb Batchelder came out the other side.

"Max, sweetheart," he said, opening his arms and waiting for an embrace. I snorted.

"Yeah, no. I don't know you like that," I said, an ice in my voice. I learned it from Ma.

"Yes you do, Max. I'm your father," Jeb said. I held back my evil laughter.

"Sure, sure," I said, adopting Jake's phrase. "What was that about talking it out instead?"

"Oh, of course. I must explain everything to you," Jeb said, snapping his fingers. Two burly-looking men showed at his sides. "Lead us to the Conference room."

"Of course, Father," one of the men said.

"Ari, this is Maximum," Jeb introduced us.

"Max? As in my sister?" Ari exclaimed.

"Half-sister, Ari," Jeb said, opening a door that led us to a large room where there were an infinity and two chairs.

"Sit, be comfortable," Jeb said, gesturing to the comfortable-looking chairs.

I sat in between Ma and Jake. Fang sat on one side of Jeb, Angel on the other.

"Max, I believe I have some explaining to do. Have you ever heard of a reincarnation?" Fang shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"Yes. Victoria called me a reincarnated birdie before." I stole a glare at her. She looked like a proud lioness that just caught her prey. Right where she wanted it…

"Right. You were actually born in the same year as your Grandfather-for-all-intensive-purposes here, Carlisle. You remember a girl named Samantha who was nicknamed Sam, do you not, Carlisle?" Carlisle showed a flicker of recognition. He looked at me.

"You look just like her," he said, sounding far off.

"Yes, because they are the same person. Max was reincarnated after she was killed," Jeb lowered his voice, looking at Carlisle intently, "until you murdered her." Everyone sucked in a breath. Carlisle hung his head.

"I was still a newborn. It was wrong of me." He looked like he was about to cry.

"And you, Edward. You remember what your mother looked like, right?" Jeb asked.

"I have never noticed this before." Edward just looked at me. "She looks like my mother."

"Her name was originally Jessie. It was short for Jessica." Jeb looked at Esme. "And you, Esme. She looks just like your lovers' sister, no?"

"Oh, Goodness. Riley? Is that you?" Esme looked at me with love in her eyes.

"And Rosalie." I sucked in a breath. Who was I to my Mother? "She looks like your best friend, Peyton, correct?"

"Yes. The one who had a baby. The baby with the dimples…" Ma said.

"The baby that looked like me!" Daddy said, proudly.

"Yes, Emmett. And you. You remember your sister, Charly? Max was your sister," Jeb said, nodding at Daddy.

"You do look like her," Daddy said, brushing the hair out of my eyes.

"Alice. Or Mary Alice. You remember the nurse that took care of you in the asylum? You should. Her name was Avery – or Ava – Jaskal. She was the one who turned you. But James immediately tore her up and burned the pieces." I saw Fang and Jake stiffen.

"Ava…I remember her face. She does look like Maxi," Alice said, looking me up and down.

"Jasper. Do you remember Jamie-Jordan Rhode? She was the first newborn you 'killed.' But you didn't kill her. You let her free, but your Master went after her. She killed her." Jeb looked a bit mad, but still concentrated.

"You do look like JJ. I thought I would never see her again," Jazzy said.

"And Bella, does she not look like Jane?" Jeb said.

Bella gasped and sat as far as she could from me. She hugged Nessie and Edward closer to her. I rolled my eyes. How bad could she be?

"And Jacob Black. I know the reason you Imprinted on Maximum. She looks like your Mother, Camryn Angel Reese-Black." Jeb smirked at Jake.

"No, you didn't," Jake growled. I stood up, pushing the chair out from behind me.

"Really? Did you really just say that? If I was so many people, then how come I remember only being one?" I said, growling half the time. My lips were curled up. My fangs protruded from my canines.

"Who do remember being?" Jeb asked, excited.

"I remember being all of the except Jake's Ma! And the only one I can really remember being was the one that kicked your sorry ass." I lunged for him, but Ma held me back. I gripped the table with my fingernails. "Ma, let me go." She looked at me and shook her head.

"Maxi, it's alright. Just let it slide for now." She looked at me, with worry in her golden eyes.

I felt like I was being drowned. Drowned in memories. I remember voices. Then they connected something to my head. I was going to sleep. Or fainting. I couldn't tell the difference right now.

Samantha Grace Lyndsberg.

I walked down the street with my Scottie dog on my heels. It was raining out and I had my umbrella up. But, then again, wasn't it always raining in London?

I laughed, silently, to myself. I was already judged as being crazy. I thought about Carlisle. He was the reason I went crazy. We were engaged to be married. And then, on a Vampire hunt one night, he disappeared. That was last week. No one knew where he went.

There were two very bad things about this.

One, my Carlisle was probably dead, killed by vampires.

Two, I had to wear black! Egad, who wants to wear black?! I shook my head. And then I heard a small yip from Manny, my Scottie.

"Manny?" I asked, looking for him. I couldn't find him anywhere. "Manny?" I asked again.

"Hello Sam," a very familiar voice said from behind me.

"CARLISLE! You're alive! I cannot believe this," I exclaimed as I turned. He was still looking handsome, his golden head not a hair out of place. It warmed my heart to see him again.

"Sam," he said again, but this time I heard the hunger in his voice.

"Carlisle?" I said, questioningly. He was coming closer to me. I dropped the umbrella. "What's wrong, sweetheart? Carlisle? Love dove?" He approached me again. Now I could see his blood red eyes. I gasped, holding my mouth open.

"You-you-you're a V-Vampire!" I screamed before running. I was relatively fast – the fastest girl in town – but he was still faster.

"I love you, Samantha," he said before attaching his teeth to my throat and sucking the blood. I swear I almost saw a tear.

Jessica Elizabeth Mason.

I looked to Edward, playing with his friends outside. I don't know what they were playing, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to know. It looked hard to learn.

But I wasn't that worried with Edward's doings. I was writing a letter to Dr. Cullen instead.

Dr. Cullen,

I fear that I am getting sicker and sicker every day. Edward is as well, but not as quickly as I seem to be. I fear for his health, for he is more important in this world than I am. Therefore I must tell you directly that if you have a way to fix him, do it without a second thought. And don't try to fix me. I am worthless in this life. I feel like I would be much more useful in Heaven, where I can watch over my Edward Anthony Mason. And if you do not mind, I would like him to call me Elizabeth instead of Jessie or Jessica. Elizabeth is much more grown. And you know how grown I am. You must realize the sarcasm in that sentence, Carlisle.

Please take care of my son, Carlisle. I know you can.

Yours truly,

Jessie Mason

I checked the letter again, making sure that there were no mistakes in it. There were none.

"Edward!" I called out of the window.

"Mother?" He asked.

"Deliver this message to Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Edward."

"Anything else, Mother?"

"Yes. I love you, Edward."

"I love you as well, Mother."

Riley Keira Knoll.

"Esme, don't do this," I called over the wind.

"I just can't take this anymore, Riley. Tell Peter that I'll love him forever," she said.

"You go tell him yourself. You have legs," I said, worried. What if she actually jumped? I wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Goodbye Riley." And with that she fell to her death.

"ESME!" I screamed. The wind whipped my hair into my eyes. I ran to the edge of the cliff where she jumped. I saw a crumpled form of the strongest woman I had ever known, on the ground. I ran down the street to the hospital.

"Dr. Cullen! Come quickly! Esme has jump off a cliff! Save her, please. Peter will be devastated!" I screamed. The wind was really working itself up now.

"I'm going! Let me go alone!" Carlisle said.

And that was the last time I had ever seen any of them again.

Peyton Deidra Kopper.

There was a knock at the door. I ran to it, with Adam in my arms. It was Rosalie.

"Rosalie! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while. This is my child, Adam." Rosalie looked at the child with a bit of love in her eyes.

"Adam Kopper? That is a peculiar name. It sounds unique," she said.

"Like him." I finished her sentence. I tossed my blonde hair into his face and he played with it. Rosalie's face turned a deep red with anger. I stood straight up again. Adam's eyes said that he was about to start crying so I put him in his crib.

"So, you came for a reason, didn't you?" I said, sitting on my small bench. I patted the seat next to me. She sat.

"It's my husband. I don't love him. I want to, but I can't." She looked forlorn.

"It's okay. Just give it time. Don't worry," I put my hand on her shoulder, "it'll get better." She smiled, weakly.

"Thanks. But that's not the only reason I came here. I want to know the gossip about Dr. Cullen, Edward and Mrs. Cullen. Why're they here?" Rosalie looked at me.

"I don't know but I have seen them walking around in the woods a lot. Strange, right?" I said.

"Very… Well, I must get going. My husband bids me to be home before sun down. Good night, Peyton," she said before kissing my cheek. I kissed hers back and then locked the door as she left.

Charly Heather McCarthy.

"Emmett, please don't go on the dumb hiking trip with those kids. They're up to no good, they are," I say as Emmett packs for the hiking trip.

"But Jackson Ghoulia invited me. He's the coolest kid in school," Emmett argued back.

"Yes but the meanest, too. Don't you agree?" I hated when we argued.

"Just go away, Charly," he said, shutting his packed suitcase and faced me. "I didn't ask for your opinion."

"I was just trying to help my brother," I said, shying up.

"Go away, Charly." He turned his back to me and then walked out of the room.

I instantly got on my knees and prayed.

"Dear God,

Keep my brother safe from harm and if any harm does come to him, make sure he gets to Dr. Cullen's house quickly. He can always fix something.

Thank you God.

Yours, Charly

Amen."

I ended the prayer, watching Emmett's jeep pull out of the driveway, worrying about him the whole way.

Avery Giera Hamon

"Alice, we have to get you out of here," I said, pulling Alice with me as I walked to the meadow where I would change her. I had just busted her out of that evil asylum. And trust me, it was evil.

"Ava, where are we going?"

"To Greenward's meadow," I said, still pulling her.

"It's so bright out."

"It's night time," I said.

"Oh, that's right. Because vampires can only be awake at night. They're nocturnal," Alice said. I sighed. I had just explained to her what a vampire was, but she chose Dracula over me, I guess.

"No, it's just because we sparkle," I said.

"I think that would be cool," she said. I hit my head with my free hand. Alice had been in that place for so long, she had forgotten most things.

We made it to the meadow without anyone seeing us and I laid her on the ground.

"Close your eyes, cause this'll hurt," I said. Alice shut her eyes tight and I bit into her neck. She screamed really loud, but I put my hand over her mouth.

"Shh, shh," I said. "Soon it'll all be over."

Jamie-Jordan Naomi Rhode.

"Jasper, please don't," I said, sticking out my bottom lip as he looked at me. The fire behind me was u making me sweat. And vampires don't sweat.

"I must. Maria says so." Man, he sounded like a robot.

"No you don't. And why must you always do what Maria says? Why not listen to yourself instead?" I asked, knowing I hit a chord.

"Because then I wouldn't have any friends," Jasper said.

"You have Peter. And I could be your friend. And Charlotte is your friend, right?" I asked.

"Fine, JJ. Just leave. I'll turn a blind eye," he said. I smiled and he smiled back. And then I kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the place like a maniac.

Jane Flora Wyckman.

"So, Bella. You're a Vampire. Took you long enough," I snarled.

"Jane, why? You just hate me don't you?" Bella said. Her brown hair was turning a dark red. I stroked my blonde hair.

"Yes, Bella, I do. You can resist my power, you can resist power! Why do you get these special powers?" I asked. Bella and I were circling each other in a fight to the death.

"Because I'm a nice person," she said. I burst out laughing.

"A nice person? I was a nice person. You're average," I said, knowing that she'd get horribly mad at that.

She lunged for me. I knew my time. And know was my time. I didn't fight back.

She ripped off my arm, throwing it to Edward. He lit a match and it flared up. My arm was being burned.

"Fight back!" Bella yelled.

"No, I want to die," I said.

"So now you're suicidal?" She asked.

"No it's just that there's a small voice in my head that tells me to do this. I'm letting you kill me," I said, smiling. Not evilly, but you know, regularly.

"What?" Bella asked, very confused. But at that moment, Edward came over to us.

"I'll kill you myself," he snarled, grabbing my hand.

"You know, I'm glad that it's you two killing me," I whispered. And then I was taken apart, piece by piece for what seemed like ever. I let myself slip into unconsciousness.

Camryn Angel Reese-Black.

"Jacob! Come here," I said, motioning for my baby. He looked at me, his obsidian eyes gleaming with excitement. Today was his first day of Pre-K. He instantly came to me, figuring out who it was.

"Mommy," he said, "I'm scared. What if they don't like me?"

"They've known you since you were babies, Jake. It's not going to change now…" I said. He still seemed hesitant. I put my arm around his shoulder and kissed his forehead. "They'll love you, darling."

I woke up with a wire in my head. It was smack in the middle of my forehead. I was on a small cot. Ma, Bella, Grampa Carlisle, Gramma Esme, Auntie Alice – no, let's just hurry this up – everyone was crying. But Jake was the only one with tears.

I had the weirdest dream and OHMYGOD my thoughts were being displayed on the screen! AHH! I quickly cleared my mind and the screen showed a blank. Jeb looked at me. "How do you do that?"

"I just clear my mind. I used it on Uncle Eddy and Nessie here," I said, pointing at them. Edward looked sad and Nessie just nodded. As I said this, though my thoughts showed on the screen.

"What the Hell is this thing on my head?" I snapped.

"Max, that is a mind reader. It reads your mind so we don't have to." Jeb looked satisfied.

"Yes, and we need all the help in the world," the girl that kissed fang sneered.

"Oh, my bad. I've never introduced you. Max this is Brigid Dwyer, this man over here is Damien Thwack and this is my son Ari – your half-brother," Jeb said, gesturing to each person as he said their name.

'Brother my ass, you idiot. How stupid do you think I am?' I thought to myself. Too bad it was displayed on the screen. Jeb scowled.

"I have the DNA tests right here," he said, holding a small bottle contained with two hairs.

"The thing is, I already have a family. And that family doesn't turn me into a winged freak!" I spat at him and he looked taken aback. I turned to my family. I was really mad, now.

"Let's GO!" I said, storming out of the room.

"You're allowed to leave if you wish. But you'll come back, Maximum. Yes, you'll come back and I'll be waiting," Jeb said. I shuddered at his words and stormed out the door, my family following suit.

Today was not a good day.

Yes, Damien is my own creation. And I love him. And Brigid is a vampie! OMG! And will Max actually be able to leave Fang behind? What will happen to Jax? Will it be an all-out war between the dog boy and the bird boy? Find out next time!
