Angel P.O.V

As I opened the door Cassie was there smiling.

"Hi Aunt Cassie."

"Hello little Angel Wyatt or should I say Angel Cullen."

"Aunt Cassie!" She laughed an hugged me.

"I'm glad your happy sweetie. Now go sit your bag down an come to the den everyone's almost here."

"Okay." Running upstairs I dropped my bag on the couch an plugged in my phone. I couldn't wait till tomorrow. I was gonna get the pictures printed up an make a small scrap book. I may even make one for Bella, and probably Alice.

Kicking off my shoes and pulling off my jacket I went back downstairs. But as I neared I heard Uncle Matt fussing with a voice that sounded familiar.

"They deserved to know Matt we are friends."

"Dax you were specifically told not to say anything to them. We would talk to them when the time was right."

I heard a new voice. "If it involved the heir apparent then we should be informed." His voice was so deep I could feel it go down my spine.

"Well as her guardians we decide that."

Guardians? They were talking about me? I leaned my head closer hoping to hear more.

Arm suddenly wrapped around me lifting me up. "Well, well what do we have here?"

Whoever held me walked into the den. "Matt I didn't know you had mice here. I found this one being sneaky."

"Put me down!"

"I would do what she tell you." I knew that voice, I turned an smiled.

"Colton!" Finally wiggling free I ran to Colton hugging him. "What are you doing here."

"Here for the clan meeting."

I stepped back. "Clan?"

Matt smiled. "You were never without family Angel. Colton here is our cousin."

"Really?" I couldn't stop the smile. "What's your power?"

Before he could answer a deep voice interrupted "It is rude to ask that." Now I was close I could hear a hint of Irish accent.

I turned to the voice seeing a man in his twenties stand with another man beside him.I guess they would be considered handsome but for the arrogance clearly written on their face.

Matt sighed "Angel this is Kameron and Torrian Draakul. Their friends from Ireland."

"So no kin to me?"

"No."

I smirked. "Good."

There was a booming laugh from the man who carried me in. "You have fire."

"Who are you?"

Aunt Cassie smiled "Angel you remember my brother Dax, well this is my other brother Rider."

Rider smiled. "Hey there Angel bell."

"Hi."I stretched out the 'i'.

Matt stepped forward."Lets begin the meeting." He pulled me to stand my him and Cassie. "This meeting is to make aware of the earliness of Angel's powers. She had just recently been through the void."

I noticed how Uncle Matt didn't say why I went to the void. I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for my mother explaining things to me.

The one called Kameron moved to my side. "How old are you?"

"I'm about to be 17."

"Amazing."

"What is?"

"The last time someone come into their powers early was over 1000 years ago. That person brought the clans together, settled many rivalries." It made me feel a little uncomfortable the way he was looking at me. As if I were some prize.

Matt moved closer. "It just means she is strong."

Kameron smiled looking up at Matt. "She is indeed strong. That will make the Wyatt-Draakul union even stronger."

Something made my nerves shot up. "Wyatt-Draakul union?"

"Ours!" His hand went to my waist. "Once we are bonded the clan will unify and follow our rule."

I felt my heart skip before I pushed his hand away. "I will not bond to you."

Kameron glared down at me. "You will. It was arranged long ago."

My family moved closer to me. Matt glaring at Kameron. "There will be no union. Angel is free to choose her mate."

I glared my fists clinched. "Not to mention I am already bonded."

This made Kameron stumble his brother Torrian steady him. "How can you be bonded? You were not allowed to bond with anyone till the union."

"I'll never agree to a union."

Rider leaned forward his posture that of one ready for an attack. " There is nothing you can do about it. Once someone is bonded it can never be broken."

"Actually it can." We turned to the voice and I saw a man with similiar eyes to mine standing in the doorway.

Something about him was familiar but it was like a foggy memory that I couldn't place.

Kameron grabbed my arm and pulled me over to him. "You said a bond can be broken. How?"

The man ignored him and looked at me. "Has your mate completed the ritual? Has he spoken the mating words to you?"

That confused me a bit. "No why?"

He smirked. "Good." He looked at Karmeron who finally let go of my arm. "All you have to do is kill her mate before he can speak the words."

"What?" Kill Emmett! No one was touching him.

Matt and Colton moved closer to me. "You can't kill someone just to get what you want Damian."

"The union has been arranged since before she was born and thus it will continue."

I growled stepped closer to the one called Damian. "A union will not happen. An you are not getting within a hundred miles of my mate I can guarantee that."

He glared down at me. "Angel you will do as you are told."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"I AM YOUR FATHER!"

I was stunned. Any other time I would probably have made a star wars joke but to learn the man I known as my father wasn't in fact dead. But to see him here a heartless dick telling me what to do. Well father or not he was not going to rule my life.

"If you were a father you would have been there... You would have been there when Tanner killed mom."

Finally some emotion! His eyes casted down with sorrow. "I was unaware of the danger till it was to late."

"And if you were a father were the Hell where you all these years?"

"I was forced to leave."

"Forced how?"

"When we were in the accident I was indeed about to die. If not for the vampire that found me and turned me..."

I was floored yet again. "Your a vampire? How are your eyes like mine?"

"That is one thing about our kind. We can be turned into vampires but our eyes will always remain the same."

I couldn't take anymore. There was to much I needed to get away from them. Maybe Carlisle and Esme will let me hide at their place for a bit. "I gotta go."

As I went to leave Damian grabbed my arms in a stone grip I knew would bruise. "You are not going anywhere you are to stay here with your mate."

"Fuck you my mate is not some Irish prick who thinks he is gods gift to women. My mate actually has a heart."

His hand gripped my neck under my jaw holding me in place. "I am your father you will do as I say and show some respect."

Matt moved forward. "That is enough Damien. Let her go."

"Back off Matteson this is my daughter so I make the decisions." He looked to Cassie. "Go pack her a bag she is going to Ireland with us tonight."

Cassie glared. "The hell I will you will let her go now and leave."

Damien pushed me into Kameron's arms. His hands gripping my shoulders holding me still. I knew what I must do in order to get away. I looked to my family who were trying to help me. With a nod I took a deep breathe and threw my arms out sending Damien, Kameron, and Torrian flying away from me.

When they got up Matt and Colton descended on Damian holding him tightly as Rider and Dax took care of Kameron and Torrian. Cassie pulled me away.

"Get out of here Angel we will handle this."

I looked to see Damien push Uncle Matt into the bookcase which broke under him as Colton was sent through the air into the side room. Damien looked at me his eyes shinning.

"You are not going anywhere."

I looked at the large window before glancing at Aunt Cassie seeing here nod I moved. Throwing my hand out again I sent Damien sailing back into the staircase as I turned to the window running.

It could of been something out of a movie lightning flashed as I moved to jump out the window. Jumping through I could feel the glass strike my arms and face as it shattered. I hissed as I landed glass embedding into my feet as I ran.I ran through the forest ignoring the pain in my feed as they pounded on the ground propelling me through the trees. I used what speed I could to get future away from the man who called himself my father. The rain made me feel colder as each passing moment went by, the cold wind making me freeze with pain was getting worse but I had to get someplace safe. And there was only one place I wanted to be...

Carlisle P.O.V

Me and Esme sat on the couch waiting for the kids to get back from hunting. We spoke mostly about Bella and Angel excited how Emmett and Edward will no longer be lonely. We listened to the rain and thunder as we stared at the fire. But panting came to my ears.

Sitting up I looked out the window. There I saw someone emerge from the woods running. It was Angel. Moving to the door quickly I opened it an caught her as she stumbled over the threshold unconscious in my arms.

"Angel?" She was shivering and I could see the bruises on her arms and on her neck not to mention the multiple cuts on her face and hands. Closer inspection was her bare feet were bleeding as well."Esme!"

Esme ran in with a gasp falling to her knees beside me."Is she okay?"

"I'll handle her but call the others they need to get back here."

I gently picked Angel up moving into the living room and sitting her in front of the fire before grabbing blankets and my medical supplies. Moving back to her I covered her up and began cleaning her up wondering who could have hurt her...

Emmett P.O.V

Me and Drew stood up from out wrestling match laughing as I indeed won again. Edward was handed Jasper some money as Jasper laughed.

"Edward never bet against Alice!"

Before I could laugh Jasper's phone rung. Me and many of my sibling forget ours when we are out hunting. He answered it putting it on speaker phone even tough it wasn't necessary.

"Hello."

"Jasper."It was Esme but something sounded off. "You all need to get back her now."

"Why? What happened?"

I was almost afraid of the answer. Edward grabbed my shoulder as we wait before Esme whispered in a shaky voice. "Angel."

I growled. "We are on our way."

Jasper hung up and we all took off running at our highest speed back home. We were there in less the 3 minutes. As I walked into the living room I saw Esme on the floor with Angel's head in her lap as Carlisle has his tool working on Angel's feet.

"What happened?"

Carlisle looked up from pulling what looked like glass from Angel's foot. "We don't know. I heard her approach and when I went to let her in she passed out. She is on the brink of hypothermia so I set her up in front of the fire."

I moved to Esme and lifted the blanket looked at Angel. She was soaking wet and I could see the bruises on her arms and as I looked up I saw one on her neck. Not to mention the multiple scratching on her neck and arms.

Carlisle was wrapping her feet and looked up. "There was glass in her feet, arms and face. We won't know what happened till she wakes up."

Suddenly Carlisle's phone range he pulled it out. "It's her Aunt Cassie."

He answered as we listened. "Yes Cassie."

"Carlisle please tell me Angel is safe with you."

"Yes she is here. What happened Cassie she arrived and passed out covered in bruises and cuts."

"She had to jump through a window in order to escape we didn't have time to get her out properly."

"Escape."

I heard a sigh on the other side of the phone. "Lets just say the meeting didn't go as planned. what we feared has come to pass and it is worse then we thought."

Edward spoke up. "The man with eyes that match Angels. The one you were worried would come if the Draakul's were informed?"

"Yes he showed along with the Draakul's two eldest."

Carlisle looked around. "Who is he?"

"I can't say not. I promise Angel will explain everything but I have a giant favor to ask your family Carlisle."

"What?"

"Right now it is not safe for Angel to come back here and it isn't safe for her to be alone. I ask that your family keep her safe till we can have this situation handled."

I answered before anyone else could. "Don't worry Cassie no one will hurt Angel while I am around."

"Thank you... I must go. I'll try to bring her stuff tomorrow if I can. Bye."

As she hung up I looked down at Angel. "She's having a tough week."

Carlisle smirked as he checked her wrist. "She is resting peacefully not and she is warmed up enough. Emmett get up upstairs and the girls will change her for bed. But I suggest something flannel something to make sure she stays warm.

Gently lifting Angel off the floor I walked up to my room and stopped as Esme, Alice and even Rosalie moved over taking Angel from me locking me out of the room as they dress her.

I felt my anger rise as I thought of those bruises on my Angel. Who dare touch her? An all this trouble at the clan meeting that now has her in danger. Not to mention this mysterious man who Matt and Cassie appear to be afraid off.

As the girls walked out of the room I moved inside closing the door. There in my bed Angel was curled on her side fast asleep. Changing into more comfortable clothing I got into bed with her pulling her to my chest sighing as she moved curling herself into me.

Tomorrow I would get my answers but for tonight I would hold her an be thankful she was alright.
