Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight...
A/N: I checked my email last night and I had a review from somone claiming to hate Twilight, it went something like this: "This majorly sucks. It's just another one of those Crylight rated M pieces of ** out there. Twilight sucks, and all it's got you **'s thinking about is sex, and Edward's butt...."
First off, I would just like to say, this review must be copied and posted to random stories because my story is NOT rated M, has NO sex in it, and is NOT about Edward.
Next to anyone who reads this that does not like Twilight: Why are you wasting your time? If I didn't like something, I wouldn't bother going to a site for it, or posting anything for it. And then to make lists of reasons why you hate it, Do you know how much of your life you waste on something you claim to 'hate'?
And I can't speak for other Authors, but as for me, I would like to say, Thank you for the Laugh.
Now without further adieu, the story:
(FAMILY REUNION)
Bella POV
I thought Alice said he would belive us, he thought he was being Punk'd. Then Edward had read his mind. He had to believe us now. I walked up the stairs and took Emmett's hand. "Are you ready for this?" I whispered.
"I'm ready for anything." He said, still holding my hand.
We walked down the stairs at a human speed, obviously, since I can't go as fast at them. Mac was turned away from us talking to Alice. When we reached the bottom of the stairs I called his name. He stood up and turned around to look at me and Emmett. He didn't recognize him.
"Mac," I said, "this is Emmett, the guy you saw in my truck this morning."
He didn't say anything, I watched his expression change to one of almost recognition. "Emmett?"
"Yes. Emmett McCarty Cullen." Emmett said.
Mac's face paled. "That's not possible."
"It is." Emmett said. "I never left, I was bitten by a vampire and changed."
Mac sunk into the chair. "No, you're dead."
"Un-dead." Emmett said.
"No time for jokes." I hissed at him, swatting him in the back of the head. He grinned at me.
"What's really going on here?"
"Can I tell you a story?" Emmett asked.
"I guess..."
I sat down on the couch next to Mac, I figured he would need more support than Emmett would. Emmett sat in the chair across from the couch. After we were seated everyone else left the room. I knew they would still hear but they wanted to let Mac and Emmett sort this out between themselves.
"I was born in 1917, my baby sister Caroline was born 4 years later. Our father died in 1937. I was 20 she was 16. I moved back in with her and our mother after he died. Long story short, he owed some men money, I told them we weren't going to pay since we weren't responsible for his debts. The men he owed came and kidnapped Linnie. I took Pa's gun. When I got there she was tied up and unconscious. I shot one of them before I got shot myself. I was laying there bleeding to death when Edward and Rosalie came by. The best I know from there, Edward took Linnie home to our mom and Rose brought me to Carlise. It was either die or be changed. He changed me. I couldn't go back home, it would have been too risky. We stayed in the area for a while, after Linnie got married, and I knew she was being well taken care of, then we left. I've never been back. You can imagine how shocked I was to learn that not only my sister but her daughter and grandson were living here now."
"I think learning that your long dead great uncle is really a vampire is a little bit more 'shocking' than learning you have family in the area."
"So you believe him then?" I asked.
"What else am I supposed to believe? Which brings me to some questions, y'all aren't gonna eat me are you? And why haven't you ate Bella yet?"
"Thanks Mac." I said. Emmett laughed, along with the others who could be heard from other rooms in the house.
"We are vegetarians, so to speak, we only drink the blood of animals."
"Really? It works like that too?"
"Well, it quinches the thirst, not as much as human blood, but we survive."
"Hm."
The rest of the family started to come back in the room. "Why aren't you scared?" Jasper asked.
"Well, the way I see it is, if you haven't hurt Bella yet, you probably won't hurt me, and after all, I am family." I think he got more than his looks from Emmett.
"Ya know, Gramma doesn't remember that. If she does she's never talked about it."
"Our mom never knew. Edward snuck her in and laid her on the couch so she was there when mom came home."
"Do you think it's only a repressed memory?" I asked.
"Well, speaking as a doctor, it could be," said Carlise, "or it could be that since she was unconscious when Emmett got to her, that she had sustained some sort of trauma to the head, causing actual memory loss. We will never know."
"So." Mac said.
"Now that you know our secret, you have to swear you will never tell anyone. That is the vampire rule, no one is supposed to know of our existance."
"No problem there. I don't need anyone thinking I'm crazy."
"Mac, are you ready to go home?" I asked.
"Um, yeah, I need to be home before mom gets home." He stood up and started walking towards Emmett's chair, Emmett stood up in front of him. After an awkward few seconds Mac threw his arms around Emmett giving him a hug, which Emmett quickly returned. "I'm glad I got to meet you, Uncle Emmett."
"Me too Nephew."
After everyone said their goodbyes Emmett walked me and Mac out to my truck. "Sure you don't want to take the volvo again? You can swing back by here on the way to the house and get the truck."
"Tell you what. Let me take your Hummer and I'll leave my truck."
"OK."
I dropped my keys, "What? Did I hear that right? You're really gonna let me drive it?"
"Yes. Me and your truck will be waiting when you get back."
"Right, where's the keys." He pulled the keys out of his pocket and reluctantly let them go. I pushed Mac towards the garage and told him to run before Emmett changed his mind. Like it would matter, walk or run he could still catch up. By the time we got there he was sitting in the drivers seat.
"Get out." I told him.
"Make me."
"Come on Emmett, you said I could drive it." Was I whining?
"I dunno Bella, the more I think about it, the more I think that may have been a bad idea, you know how clumsy you are."
"Fine. Come on Mac, we'll take my truck." I turned to walk away and called over my shoulder, "I'm locking my window tonight." Before I realised it, Emmett had me thrown over his shoulder and was sitting me in the drivers seat of his truck. I laughed. Mac came around and got in the passenger seat. I started the truck and backed down the drive, rolling down the window and yelling bye as we went.
"Wanna talk about it?" I asked Mac.
"It's just really hard to believe."
"Mac I have to tell you something that they didn't tell you today."
"What's that?"
"We shouldn't know they exist."
"I know, they told me that."
"No, I mean that there is this powerful vampire family. Like the vampire rulers, and if they found out that we know they would kill us."
"And you aren't afraid of them finding out?"
"I don't think so, I mean, if something was going to happen Alice would see it before hand."
"Well, I guess it's to late to change me knowing now, so, OK."
"You are taking all of this really well." I told him.
"Yeah, but I still expect to wake up in the morning having dreamed all this."
I laughed. "That's what I thought, only when they told me what they were, they were telling me because Alice had a vision ten years ago of me and Emmett."
"Really?"
"Yep. Apparently vampires mate for life, or existance, or whatever, and she saw me as Emmett's mate."
"Are you going to become a vampire too?"
"I never thought about it. I told them I didn't want my life set just because of a vision Alice had, and that if I decided I liked Emmett and wanted to take things from there then so be it, but I wouldn't be with him just because they say I should."
"And what do you think so far?"
"I like him."
"Not gonna tell me anything else are you?"
I grinned at him. "Since it is your uncle we are talking about, I think we'll stop there."
"OK."
About that time we pulled into Mac's yard, his Mom was still not home.
"I'll see you tomorrow in school." I said as he got out.
"See ya. Thanks Bells." I waved goodbye as I pulled out of the yard.
Emmett was sitting in my truck waiting for me when I got back to theire house. I pulled his truck into the garage, walked over to him, and handed him the keys.
"Wanna check it over before we leave?"
"No, I trust you."
"Good that means you wont see that scratch on the front bumper."
"WHAT?" He ran at vampire speed and checked all over his truck. I just stood there laughing.
"That." He said when he was satisfied there was no scratch. "Was not funny."
"If you say so. Come on, I've gotta get some supper fixed for Charlie before he gets home and I don't have long left."
When we got to back to my house, Emmett walked me up to my room to drop off my school books. "Um, Emmett? Do you know why there is a duffel bag in the corner of my room over there?"
"Yeah. It's mine."
"Why?"
"In case I want to change if I'm staying the night here. I don't like to sit in jeans all the time."
"Sure." We went downstairs, Emmett sat on the couch and I went to fix something to eat. I decided to do tacos since they were quick and easy. Charlie came in about the time I finished them.
"So Bells, how was your day?"
"It was good. I'm kinda tired, figured I'd head to bed early tonight."
"Want some help cleaning up the kitchen?"
"Nah, I washed up everything as I cooked, so all thats left are what we just used."
"OK, I'm gonna go watch the game then."
When I was finished with the kitchen I hugged Charlie night and headed up to my room.
"You need a TV in here." Emmett said as soon as I opened the door.
"No, I don't. I don't spend that much time in here."
"But I do."
"Emmett, you've been coming over for two days. That hardly counts as a lot of time."
"Well, I will be then. And when you sleep there's nothing to do. Don't get me wrong or anything, I love listening to you talk in your sleep. Monkeys and waffels, but you don't talk straight through the night."
"Read a book, I have plenty of those."
The face he made was priceless. "I'll just go buy one to put in here, with a Wii, so I can play some games."
"No you aren't."
"Don't worry Bells, it won't be a big one."
"Right, I'm going to get a shower, I'll be back in a few minutes." I grabbed my tolietry bag and headed to the bathroom. After I was finsihed with my nightly routine I headed for bed. And what did I see when I opened my door, but Emmett sitting on the floor in front of my closet playing a Wii on a 20 inch flat screen TV.
"Emmett?" I asked, very calmly and with much patience, "why is there a TV and game console in my closet?"
"Because Charlie would wonder why you have it if he walked in and saw it, this way he won't see it." He explained like he was talking to a child.
I threw my hands up in the air, "I'm going to bed. Goodnight Emmett."
He was at the bed before I was. Once again, he pulled the sheets down, covered me up and kissed me goodnight. Tonight though he laid down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I was right, it didn't take me long to fall asleep, and if I wasn't careful, I could get very used to this.
Sorry about any mistakes in the writing, my comp started acting up and cut off after I proofed it before I could save it, so I was in a hurry the second time around so I could get it up. Thanks to all who read and reviewed!!!!
