Brief Summary

Present Time:

Lucas's POV

"I've been here at Forks since then and a month later I met you guys." I said finishing my story.

"And we are truly blessed to have you as part of this family." Esme smiled.

"Yeah, you made life here exciting!" Emmett said.

"So how did you guys meet?" Tiffany asked in curiosity. Lucina looked curious as well along with Krystal.

"I was in the woods when I ran into a grizzly bear and obviously I ended up getting injured and would've been killed had not have been for Jacob who saved me. That was before I knew he was a werewolf and soon I met him and Nessie." I explained.

"After that, I offered to take Lucas to grandpa so that he could help Lucas and that's when he met the rest of the family." Nessie explained.

"We can tell you that Lucas here sure made quite a good impression." Jasper chuckled.

"How so?" Krystal asked.

"He asked if we're really dating when he noticed even though we're adopted siblings before he knew we're actually married." Rosalie laughed.

"And then he said and quote, 'I'm just gonna avoid asking questions about this and pretend it's not weird.'" Emmett said as everyone minus me laughed.

"Anyways, after I helped with Lucas's wound, he joined us for 'dinner.'" Carlisle said.

"That's when he told us about what happened to his family." Esme said.

"And you let him live with you guys?" Lucina asked.

"Well, not at first." Edward said and I turned to him in confusion. "Lucas, don't be mad but when you first came here, we were… cautious of you."

"How come?" I asked in surprised. I forgot how good they are at acting back then when I was human.

"It's because we weren't sure if you were with the Volturi or some sort of… danger because none of were able to use our gifts on you." Alice said.

"Seriously, your gifts didn't work at all on him before?" Krystal asked.

"Nope and we weren't sure if Lucas could be consider a threat." Bella said.

"But after getting to know you more with each of us, it was clear that you were just a guy who's been suffering from his loss and was considered not a threat." Carlisle said.

"Oh," I said. "No, I'm not mad I'm just surprised."

"So Lucas was able to win you guys over huh?" Krystal said.

"He won us over in a lot of ways," Rosalie said. "Like kind words, love, music, cars, shopping,"

"But mostly the part where Lucas kicked Emmet's ass." Jasper said as all of us except Emmett burst into laughter.

"No way, Emmett lost to Lucas, who was human?" Tiffany asked in between laughs.

"He got lucky okay!" Emmett pouted.

"You had to tune down your strengths. You thought you could still win?" Edward asked with a laugh.

"I was hoping to." Emmett said.

"So anyways, we all agreed that Lucas should be a part of this family and what better way to do that than with a party?" Alice beamed.

"Jake and I planned to keep Lucas occupied at La Push while everyone else sets up the party." Nessie explained. "Lucas and I were on our way back getting ready to surprise him until…"

"Until what?" Lucina asked.

"Lucas did something stupid." Jacob said.

"Hey, you call it stupid. I call it saving a life!" I defended.

"What did you do?" Krystal asked me.

"Lucas pushed Nessie out of the way before Lucas got hit by a car and almost died." Rosalie said.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Tiffany asked.

"Would you value her life over mine?" I asked.

"Anyway, Nessie and Jacob brought Lucas to us but by the time they arrived… it was too late." Esme said.

"What, how, when he's… right here?!" Tiffany asked looking at me in complete dumbstruck.

"That's what I like to know myself." Jasper said.

"Yeah, how did came back when you were dead?" Bella asked as everyone looked at me.

"Well, I… I don't know how, but I'll start off with that I saw my family." I explained. "First they told me that they never left and that they have always been watching over me and they love me. Then they told me about the party you guys threw for me."

"Wait, you knew?!" Alice asked in disbelief as everyone laughed.

"Well yeah." I said as Alice pouted. "Anyways, they told me that I have a choice to move forward or go back to be with you guys so of course I chose to be here only one problem."

"What happened?" Lucina asked.

"His body wasn't strong enough to make it through even though his heart was beating… very slowly." Carlisle said.

"So I gave permission to change Lucas and that's when we told him about the world he lives in." Jacob said.

"There was no surprise that Lucas accepted his fate into becoming immortal. Telling Lucas about us as vampires was quite entertaining though." Edward said with a laugh.

"Yeah, especially when we told him Nessie was actually Edward and Bella's daughter." Emmett grinned.

"Oh don't remind me." I said. Wait a minute. "NO!" Too late. Nessie ran up and placed her hand on Tiffany's face and then Lucina's showing them of my reaction of who her parents really are. Tiffany and Lucina burst into laughing when Nessie was done as she went back to her seat.

"That was way funnier than how I reacted!" Tiffany said in between laughs.

"Why is my reaction so funny to you guys?" I asked.

"How can it not be? OW!" Emmett cried when I shot him an aura sphere in the head. "Do you have to keep shooting aura spheres at me?"

"Yes I do which is actually what happens next." I said. "After learning about the new world, we soon discovered the reason why no one was able to use their gifts on me except Nessie since hers penetrates the same way it does to Bella's. I soon discovered my gift to use my aura to not only protect my mind but my body as well. That was until a few years ago I was able to develop it to protect others as well. I can also see other people's auras to know their emotions and detect liars like Jasper and Edward's gifts. As for the aura spheres, those just came out of nowhere but it's really cool. I guess you could say that my cop senses went up to a whole new level."

"Once we discovered his gift, we helped Lucas train to learn how to use his powers." Jasper said and then smirked. "The fun part was when Jacob tried to kill Lucas."

"Why?" Tiffany asked.

"Because I told him that Lucas kissed Nessie leaving out the fact that it was only on the forehead when I finally read into Lucas's mind when he turned off his aura." Edward said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I'm still gonna get you for that." I said to him.

"That was five years ago!" Edward said with a laugh.

"Anyways," I said. "I've been living here since then. I got a job at the Reserve, my fortune finally came, Alice bought me a lot of clothes and I really bonded well with you guys. I even ran into Charlie when Bella brought me over to meet him. I was surprised to hear that Charlie knows that we're different."

"He knows that we're vampires?" Lucina asked.

"No, just the part where he knows that he doesn't live in the world he think he does no thanks to Jacob." Bella said.

"Why are you still bringing that up on me?" Jacob asked.

"What did Jacob do?" Tiffany asked.

"Originally after giving birth to Nessie and becoming immortal, we have to move and tell Charlie that Bella died of sickness from her honeymoon but Jacob here phased in front of Charlie and told him what was going on." Alice said.

"I only told him that in order for Bella to get better she had to change and about me." Jacob explained. "He knows about Nessie being her daughter and that he only wants the 'need to know' basis. That's what made you guys stay here."

"Oh why thank you for that!" Krystal smiled with a tease.

"Moving that aside, it was great seeing Charlie again although he was sad to hear what happened to my dad since they were best friends in high school." I said. "Other than that, I love my life here in Forks, finally found what I was looking for. I thought things were looking up until… it happened."

"What happened?" Krystal asked.

"The Volturi came and kidnapped Nessie and then tried to kill us all undetected." Carlisle explained.

"How?" Tiffany asked.

"They had new guards in their coven, three siblings; May who can turn herself and others invisible and Niall who can turn into smoke when he runs fast and also uses them to block other's senses and gifts." Jasper explained. "The two of them use their gifts to assist the guards and were hoping to finish us without trouble since we were unaware of their arrival."

"So how did you guys escaped?" Krystal asked.

"It was Lucas." Jacob said. "Thanks to his gift, he can still see their auras even though they were invisible. Once he saw them and told us, we survived the assault and caught Niall and May where we found out the Volturi were the ones responsible for everything."

"We confronted the Volturi who were shocked to see us alive and demanded to give back Nessie, only they told us that she wanted to join them." Bella said.

"Before you ask, it was the other sibling Olivia. She had the gift to hypnotize people and that's what made Nessie join their coven." I explained to Tiffany, Krystal and Lucina.

"With Lucas's quick thinking, he destroyed Olivia allowing Nessie to be free from her control." Edward said. "We were about to leave however Aro did not like how he wasn't gonna get what he wanted and he ordered the guards to prepare us to death."

"We were able to fight them off but then Alec used his powers to block our senses thus rendering us helpless as all the guards restrained us." Rosalie said.

"I'm surprised Alec's gift affected me." Bella said. "My shield should've been immune to it." Well that's a surprise.

"That's because one of the new guards has the gift to disable others." Edward explained. "It was why at that brief moment Alice and I didn't see it coming. He didn't think he had to worry about Lucas since he only saw the part of Lucas shooting an aura sphere but that was a mistake since his aura protected himself.

"Since I was the only one still standing, I was struggling what to do without harming the others." I explained. "Aro was intrigued of my gift and offered me to join his coven which was an obvious no. That's when Edward told me…"

"What did Edward tell you?" Lucina asked. I didn't answer as did the others until her mother spoke.

"The Volturi were the ones who killed Lucas's family." Tiffany said.

"What, that's terrible! And they're the good guys?" Lucina asked looking at everyone.

"They are the foundation of our peace and civilization. Nothing says anything about them being good but they're not villains the way you see it even after all the stunt they've pulled on us." Carlisle said shaking his head.

"What were the Volturi even doing in Lacey?" Krystal asked. That is a good question since they live all the way in Italy.

"They heard about May, Niall and Olivia and their unique abilities as humans and were quite interested in them thinking it was perfect for their plan to kidnap Nessie." Edward explained. "Aro, Caius and Marcus arrived at Lacey at night and got thirsty so they made a quick stop to Lucas's house."

"I can't believe they would do such a thing!" Lucina said.

"You think that's bad, you should've seen how Lucas reacted." Jasper said.

"How bad was it?" Krystal said sensing the tension.

"He went on a rage, more than how you saw him react when that jerk killed Meghan." Jacob said. "He took down every member of the Volturi guard single-handily."

"It was cool how he fought off the Volturi at once… but it was really scary." Emmett said.

"I hoped that I would never go through that again." I said.

"Lucas continued fighting his way until he reached Aro." Alice said. "He was about to kill him and had I not have seen the vision and Carlisle hadn't stopped him, something would've changed in Lucas."

"It wasn't really me that stopped him even though I did, it was Nessie." Carlisle said.

"How did you manage that?" Tiffany asked her.

"Well… I didn't do anything." Nessie said. "He kept calling me Lilly."

"Yeah, I guess I had a hallucination of her from where you were standing." I said. "Once I came back to my senses, I was sad… to hear the truth of what happened to my family."

"None of us were happy to hear what the Volturi did to Lucas ruining his life." Jasper said gritting his teeth.

"He had everything and they took it all away from him." Rosalie said angrily. No one else had anything to say about the Volturi's actions.

"So what happened after that?" Tiffany asked.

"Aro finally let all of us go home but just when we were out of the room, Lucas's rage came back." Esme said.

"We tried to hold him off but he was very difficult. Next thing that happened was that he somehow passed out." Emmett said.

"How, vampires don't sleep or go unconscious." Krystal said.

"It must have been his emotions being too much to handle." Jasper said. "You thought that was odd get this, Lucas was able to produce tears."

"How?" Tiffany, Lucina and Krystal asked me.

"I guess I'm a one of kind vampire." I shrugged.

"So what happened after that?" Tiffany asked.

"Well, we all came back to Forks after the events in Volterra but right after we came home… Lucas left." Rosalie said.

"You left them?" Krystal asked me in shocked.

"For only a week." I said.

"But why?" Krystal asked.

"I think I know why." Tiffany said.

"You said that you went back to Lacey to see your friends one last time and visited your family's grave." Edward said to me. "Can you tell us what happened there?"

"Well, you guys deserve the need to know." I said with a small smile. "Here's what happened…"

Get ready for the next chapter. I'm hoping to get this story done today. Please review.
