Before I start thanks soooo much to all the girls that review and stuff and for those who didn't like last chapter ending, tough luck!
But thanks to everyone who is reading this story, it means a lot to me!

Pictures Of You
Chapter 13
Close your eyes
Adrian's POV
"Your a Werewolf Adrian."
Yes. My mind whispered. Yes.
I knew it was true, every part of my being knew it was true. I wasn't scared or frightened, in fact I felt relieved, like I finally found a piece of me that was missing.
"Now you know." Uncle George said, putting his large arm around me.
"Now I know." I repeated, mostly to myself.
Lyra was sitting, stunned, beside me. I couldn't think of anything to calm her down. I looked down at my body and shivered. I had noticed how much it was growing, and even though it was strange for a seventeen year old I never thought much of it.
"Why am I like this?" I asked.
Jacob laughed and run his hands on his face. Embry patted him on the shoulder and sat down next to me, making the couches springs yell in protest.
"Adrian, you are the first werewolf transformation we have had in many years. In fact, it has been over twenty years since someone last changed."
I took in this information and tried processing it in my mind. No luck. "Right. And that means?"
"It means…that the Cullen's are back."
I froze. I didn't know if I wanted to know what he meant, but the question slipped off my lips. But before I could ask Lyra finally spoke
"The Cullen's? What do they have to do with anything? I mean their just as new to this town as Adrian and I are." she said strongly.
This time everyone in the room laughed, everyone except for Lyra and me.
"New?" scoffed Leah. "I don't think so missy."
"The Cullen's are more older to this town than three generations of Quillette leaders." Said Embry, laughing along with Leah.
I didn't get it, Older than the leaders? It didn't make sense!
"A long time ago, before you were both born, even before I was born, strangers came to this town." Stated Jacob, "They were different to everyone, they weren't…Human."
"Fucking Bloodsuckers…" screeched Leah.
"Shh! Let him finish!" said Lyra, glaring at her.
"At that point the Quellette's decided they were to dangerous, and they needed to be taken out. They tracked them not after long. They were Vampire's. I know it sounds stupid but that what they were. They were real, Adrian."
He remembered. "The cold ones."
"Yes." Said George
"They soon found out that these vampire's were not very dangerous, not like others that had come before them. They didn't feast on humans, but instead on animals.
And so our leaders and their's made a truce that they were not allowed to have any human blood or breach our lines or the treaty would be over. They came back a few years ago, when we were all just transforming ourselves."
"Wait," asked Lyra "You're all Werewolf's?"
"Everyone except for me." replied Uncle George. "Jacob basically raised me."
"Raised you?" I questioned. How was that possible? Jacob looked barely over the age of twenty-seven.
"Technically Jacob and the others are…almost forty."
"Forty!" scoffed Lyra.
"Yep." Replied Jacob smiling, obviously proud of him self.
"Okay…" said Lyra. "But I still don't get it."
"The Cullen's," said Jacob, very slowly, "are…the cold ones."
"What?" I gasped.
"Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen, Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Cullen, Jasper Cullen, Edward Cullen and…Bella…Swan."
"Your forgetting someone." I said automatically.
"Who?"
A name ran through my head. It was a name I had not been able to escape for days. The name of the girl I loved.
"Charlotte Cullen…"
Lyra gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. "No…"
"Charlotte Cullen?" Uncle George asked, leaning towards me.
"She's a girl at my school. I'm really…close… to her."
"Wait," said Uncle George, "The girl is Charlotte Cullen? The one Lyra told me about?"
I shrugged, not knowing what else to say. Hey! Uncle George, just for the record I'm in love with my mortal enemy, a vampire.
"Adrian…"
He tried to place his hand on my shoulder but I shook him off. "What am I going to do now?" I asked him.
"You have to stay away from her." Replied Jacob quickly.
"I-…" I can't.
My whole body shook and I heard the faint voices of the people around me telling me to calm down, and that everything will be all right, but if I couldn't see Charlotte Cullen anymore than nothing would be all right.
I felt my breath becoming more stable and I leaned back on the couch. I took the time to reflect on everything they had just said.
"But wait," I said suddenly, going back to the stories I remembered so well, "I thought you had to be Quillette? Dad and you moved here when you were little."
"Yes." Uncle George sighed.
"Well then, how am I… what I am?" I asked more harshly.
Jacob walked forward this time. "Adrian…"
He was so new to me, but I felt like I had known him my whole life.
"Adrian, there is something you don't know." He said very gradually.
"About what."
"About your mother."
I froze. This was not a subject that I touched on lightly. I had not spoken about my mother since telling Charlotte and even now I could feel the emotion rising.
I waited for Jacob to continue.
"Many years ago, I was in love with a girl. She was young, beautiful and everything I wanted. She left me heartbroken though, married another guy. I let her go and I thought I would never find anyone to help me."
I ran away, afraid of everything that had happened, when one day I was walking along first beach. And that was when I saw her. Young, blonde, and everything I wanted. Imprinting was the last thing on my mind when I decided to leave, but when I met her…I fell in love with her."
I nodded.
"She loved me too, we loved each other, but she was already married. Sure she loved the guy, but nothing like she felt for me. We met secretly every day. And once he came home and found us. He hit her across the face that night and I never knew. If I had of…" he shuddered in anger.
After that he took her away, I looked for her everywhere but I couldn't find her. Then seven years later I got a call. Her sister, who knew about the relationship said something had happened, and accident."
NO! My mind yelled. No! Please no!
"The girl I loved, Adrian had taken her own life. And at that very moment I felt sick, I couldn't live without her. Not without my own love, I went to the funeral…her sister had a note from her to me, I still have it with me."
He pulled out a small white piece of thin paper and handed it to me. I was shaking and I gave it to Lyra, afraid I would no be able to talk properly. She opened with her quivering hands and spoke.
"My love, my dearest Jacob,
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry for everything, for leaving and not running away with you, for not…telling you.
Jacob…There is something you need to know. Something no one else knows, except for maybe my good for nothing husband. Much has happened. I have two children, beautiful girl, Lyra, and a boy, Adrian. He is gorgeous, Jacob. He looks like his father, minus the brown hair. He looks like you Jacob.
I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. Please look after him for me…Please.
I love you, with all my heart.
Cecilia"
Lyra stopped talking and looked up at Uncle George. "What the fuck."
"Lyra..."
"Your my...Father?" I said, the word sounding new and unfamiliar.
"Yes." replied Jacob.
"Why did i never know?" i asked, suddenly very angry. "We went through shit! My life was ruined from the moment my mother took her own life, and you never came."
"I wanted to!" he said stepping closer.
"No," I spat, "otherwise you would have come."
"Adrian," he sighed "Believe me, I tried to take you but I couldn't. I couldn't just walk in and ruin your life at home, and I wasn't able to take you away from him!"
"It was already ruined…" I whispered.
There was silence; I didn't want to talk to Jacob anymore. I didn't want to talk to any of them.
"Before you said Bella Swan," said Lyra "but that's not right, she's Bella Cu…"
"No!" yelled Jacob, "Bella Swan."
"Do you mean Sheriff Swan's daughter?" I asked, suddenly coming out of my dazed silence.
The Sheriff had died very suddenly only a month ago, it was still the talk of the town.
"Yes." Said uncle George, obviously answering for an upset Jacob. "She used to be Bella Swan…until she married the bloodsucker…and now she is a vampire and a Cullen…"
I heard Jacob growl loudly and I ignored him.
Suddenly Embry jumped to his feet. "Do you smell that?" he asked warningly.
I could. It smelt sweet, too sweet. My nose flinched and I growled subconsciously.
"Bloodsucker…" said Leah under her breath.
Before any of them could react I jumped forward, running to the door.
"Adrian no!" screamed Jacob behind me.
Please go…please leave.
The words of Charlotte Cullen ran through my mind.
Just listen
The door was thrown open and the cold breeze hit me. The porch was only barely lit and I looked to the trees where someone was leaning casually against a tree.
There she was, standing there…waiting for me.
"Adrian?" she whispered, her eyes wide and in shock. Then they closed and she screamed.
"No!"
Hehehe cliff hanger! I hope you enjoyed it.
So.
you like? You tell me! Reviews please!
And idea would be great!
LOVE YOU ALL!
