Here is chapter 20. I put it up, and then I decided I wanted to add more, so I took it off. I am sorry if that confused you. But I like this version better.
I am starting to write another story. It will be titled I've Just Seen a Face. It came to me during English, and I wrote the first part of the first chapter in Pre-Calculus. So yeah. Check it out when I get it up. It will be about Seth primary, to begin with.
Enjoy! And I still do not own Twilight or any of the characters from there. I know it is sad!
Chapter 20
Edward POV
I saw Hazel's vision thru her mind. It was of me and Carlisle arguing. I think we were arguing about her. I wasn't sure, so I talked to Bella about this. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. We went out side so I could talk to her. I told her what I saw in Hazel's mind. And what I heard after the vision.
"Oh, Edward! That would be great to have another sister would be wonderful. And for Seth to be here with Jake, that would be even better. Jake now knows Seth is alive. He can't go on pretending he is dead. I won't have it!"
"But Bella, you didn't see me and Carlisle arguing. It was bad. I do agree with you though. It would be nice to have another member in the family. Plus it would take some heat off of you to go shopping with Alice."
Bella chuckled. "I know. Why don't I talk to Carlisle with you? I think it would help."
"Yeah that sounds good." I went back inside with my arm around Bella. We had to find Carlisle. We found him organizing his new study.
"Carlisle, can we talk to you?" I asked before entering.
"Sure son, what is it?" He answered.
"I caught a glimpse of Hazel's mind tonight. She was ecstatic that we were a family. She never thought there was a vampire family. She wants to move in with us. She doesn't want money or anything. She just wants a family."
"I don't know if we can Edward."
"But Carlisle, you didn't hear her thoughts." I was getting angry now, even though I knew what I was going to say.
"Edward, our family is big enough already. It doesn't need to get any bigger." Carlisle said sounding annoyed.
Bella jumped in at that moment. "I know we have a big family. But the Walker's won't live with us forever. Plus she is all alone."
"She has Seth."
"Besides that, don't you remember when you were first changed how lonely it was? She hasn't talked to another vampire like herself in a long time. Now that she has knows about us, she has hope. And then there is Seth."
"What about Seth?"
"Seth is a wolf. He is an original wolf from Jake's pack. He knows Jake. He hasn't gotten to talk to another wolf since he faked his death. Now that he is here, Jake is happy. He has an old friend around. An old friend he thought he lost a long time ago. Now he won't be surrounded by vampires. Imagine if every day for 75 years you lived with a family of wolves? Jake can't talk about some stuff with vampires. We don't understand."
"I see your point Bella." Carlisle gave a long sigh. "Okay, it looks like we have two more additions to the family."
"Thank you Carlisle. It will be great having some more people in the family." I told him.
"Now you better go tell Hazel, if she doesn't know already."
Bella and I went to find Hazel to tell her the good news. We couldn't find her anywhere. Seth was still asleep on the couch, but Hazel was no where to be found. I looked at Bella.
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know, you are the mind reader. Don't you know?"
"Ha ha. I don't know. I can't hear her. Do you think she took that first vision seriously?"
"I don't know Edward. She could have. But why would she leave Seth?"
"Yeah, I was wondering that too. I don't know why."
Then Alice showed up. "What are you looking for?"
"Hazel." Bella told her.
"Oh, let me see. She is going to Philadelphia. I don't know why, but that is where she decided to go. Why is she going to Philadelphia in the middle of the night?"
I looked at Alice. But Bella answered, "She had a vision that Carlisle wouldn't let her into the family. I guess she thought that was set in stone, and left. We don't know why she didn't take Seth. After all she is his imprint. But Edward and I talked to Carlisle, and he agreed to have her apart of the family."
Alice cut Bella off, "She is apart of our family? Now I can have someone decent to shop with! And some one who is excited about shopping, unlike you Bella."
"Yes I know Alice, I don't like to shop. But we need to get Hazel and tell her that she is apart of the family. How do you suppose we do that, Alice?"
"Well I don't know if she is watching us in her visions. She probably cut all ties after she had that one vision. She probably doesn't want to get hurt any more. I can keep an eye on her in my visions, but I am not promising anything."
"How is she getting to Philadelphia? That way maybe we can catch her."
"It looks like she is running. I don't know why, when flying is faster."
"Okay, Alice you watch her, Bella and I are going after her. Are you ready Bells?"
She looked at me, "Of course, why would I try so hard to get her into this family just so she will run away."
Bella and I walked out the back door and ran towards Philadelphia hand in hand.
Bella POV
Edward and I started running towards Philadelphia at top speed. But we had to slow down so we could try and catch her smell. We were somewhere in South Dakota when Edward caught her sent. I could kind of smell it too, but with Edward being 100 years older than me he probably knows how to do this better. It wasn't until we were in Nebraska when I smelled her really good. That meant we were getting close. We followed her sent until the out skirts of Chicago. Edwards phone rang just as we were about to enter the city.
"Hello Alice."
"Edward, her mind has changed. She is stopping in Chicago. She decided not to go all the way to Philly today."
"That's good, since we are in Chicago right now."
"Oh, yep I see it now. She is in the old part of Chicago. I can see that she isn't by any sky scrapers. Oh how lucky we are that it is over cast in Chicago right now. Although I think Cameron has a part in that, since I told her that is where you will be."
"Okay Alice, I am going to hang up now and focus on finding Hazel. You call if anymore visions show up."
"Okay Edward, Oh hello Bella! I almost forgot!"
And Edward slid the phone shut. We continued to try and follow her sent through Chicago. It was a little trickier than in South Dakota or Nebraska. This place has more people, way more people. I followed Edward into the older part of Chicago, like Alice said. I followed Edward into a cemetery. There I saw a tall, pale girl looking at a tomb stone. She had strawberry blonde hair, which looked like it hasn't been brushed in days. It was Hazel. I sighed in relief when I saw her standing there. We found her, and now we can bring her home to her new family. I don't think she noticed us. I kept walking towards her only to find that Edward had stopped. I went back to him.
"Is everything okay?" Then I saw what he was looking at so intensely. It was three head stones next to each other. One said Edward Masen Sr., the next said Elizabeth Masen, and the last final one said Edward Masen Jr. Edward was looking at his own tomb stone. He was looking at his parents tomb stones.
"I haven't ever visited them. This is the first time. After I was changed, I went with Carlisle. He never came back to Chicago. I don't know why. Maybe he didn't want me back here, where it all started. I bet there isn't even a coffin under my tombstone. I bet it is just there to make it look like it. Since my body disappeared, they had nothing to burry. Both my parents were gone, so they couldn't choose. But my dad did make sure I had a head stone before he died. He made sure we all had head stones, that way we could be prepared. I feel bad for not visiting."
I just let him stand there looking at his deceased family. I let him stare at his own grave. I didn't know what to do. Then I heard someone approaching.
"Why are you here? Didn't you cause enough pain for me, not letting me into your precious family?"
"Hazel you saw wrong." I tried to explain but she cut me off.
"What, my visions never lie."
"Yes, but I talked to Carlisle with Edward. He agreed to let you be apart of the family. You and Seth can join." I saw a spark of hope alight in her eyes. I knew she was happy. But she still had a façade of anger on her face.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, why would Edward and I run all the way to Chicago just to trick you? We all want you in the family. Carlisle was just concerned on how it would look to humans if so many of us look the same. But I got him over that. Plus Alice is counting on you as a shopping buddy. I really need the reprieve of the shopping. And Seth is probably still asleep on the couch."
"I guess, Seth needs me too. I just had to get out of there. I left Seth not wanting to draw any attention to me. Plus it will be fun shopping with Alice, I can see that."
"Great, let's go! But before we go, who were you looking at?" I asked, wondering.
"I was visiting Walter. His grave is just over there. He is buried with his wife, and his children, and his grandchildren. He had a good life, a full life. That's all I wanted. What is Edward looking at so intently?"
"His own grave." I replied almost bored.
"What?"
"It is Edward's parents and his grave. When he was changed, the hospital thought he was dead. So there he is supposed to be. But if he was there then I wouldn't have the love of my life. I would have married Mike Newton. I probably wouldn't be alive right now if I did marry Mike. Plus the marriage would have been horrible. And I wouldn't have gotten Renesmee out of the whole deal." I said smirking.
Edward looked up, "I am sure you could have found some one better than Mike. He had a filthy mind." He smiled and then kissed me.
We all ran back to Canada. It didn't take as long, since we didn't have to search for someone's sent. We returned to hear surprised screams coming from inside the house.
Oh Gosh! I made a cliffie! Whatever will you do now? I will get the next part up as soon as I can. Since I am writing that other story, it probably wont' be that quick. Plus there is the school thing, I guess I got to go if I want to graduate and actually do something with my life. So yeah, now you can review if you want. (But it is really easy!)
