A Christmas Surprise
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Twilight characters or anything Twilight related.
I decided that I'll be giving out two updates a day for next few days so enjoy. :)
Chapter 52 – Have A Purpose Part 1
Sam's POV
"OW! What did I do?" Emmett asked when Jasper smacked his head.
"Nothing, we just had to be sure." Jasper said chuckling.
"I'll start things off." Jalen said. "Okay, so it's been three months since I've left my old coven in Detroit and have been living with the Cullens here in Forks. I've adjusted alright with their diet and living with the humans since I started gaining control of my thirst. That was not an easy thing to do but I managed. So I've been filled in on what goes on in this family including the tribe's legends and stuff. During my time here in Forks, Carlisle hired a lawyer where he dug up on my family's will. I was left with a big amount of fortune along with letters from both of my parents."
Wow, it doesn't surprise me of how much Jalen has inherited since his family owns a gaming company.
"I got along with everyone in the family and became very close to them." Jalen said earning smiles from the Cullens. "During my six months, Tiffany and I started dating. I love her and I love Lucina as well. Tiffany introduced me to her family after so long on video chat."
"As I said before, I love Tiffany, so much. It may have been too soon at that time but I know she and I are meant to be together, forever. So I contacted Hayden and Gwen for their blessings and then I took Tiffany to this restaurant I went to when I was a kid and proposed to her with Gwen's ring. And she said yes."
"I never got to thank you and dad for this ring." Tiffany said smiling to them as she took Jalen's hand where mom's vintage diamond ring was showing.
"You know we do anything to support your happiness Tiffany." Mom said.
"I always believed that you and Jalen are meant to be together." Dad said.
"Oh and you always thought me and Tiffany would be together?" Lucas asked sarcastically causing some to chuckle.
"So, it's September nineteenth after Bella, Lucas and Nessie's birthday the day of our wedding. I was completely nervous." Jalen said. Obviously. "Of course the date was when Tiffany's family couldn't make it due to intense weather and assistant needs from a spouse. You should understand why." My parents and I nodded our heads in understanding.
"So yeah, all of the guests arrived and I had a moment with Lucina." Jalen said looked towards her. "She just wanted to thank me for everything I've done for Tiffany. I've already love Lucina even though she's not biologically mine."
"I love you daddy." Lucina said to him.
"I love you too Cina." Jalen said coming over to kiss her cheek. Wow.
"Our wedding was beautiful, we soon became Mr. and Mrs. Long and had our reception." Tiffany said and then smirked. "I tossed my bouquet and it was caught by Nessie and then Jalen threw my garter caught by Jacob." Soon the Cullens started laughing as we saw Edward shaking his head. Oh Edward.
"After that, it was time for me and Tiffany to go off on our honeymoon which was in Japan." Jalen said. Of course, I saw the pictures Tiffany sent me.
"Before we left, we had to say goodbye to Lucina." Tiffany said.
"That's when she called me daddy for the first time." Jalen said sounding like he was about to cry of happiness. He then looked at Lucina and I'm guessing it's one of those mental communications.
"And we've been on our honeymoon for two weeks." Tiffany said.
"That was beautiful." Nina said.
"I want a wedding like that!" Trina said.
"Me too!" Tori said.
"I will definitely plan it out for you girls!" Alice said excitedly.
"Not gonna happen!" Bryce said. Okay it's either because he's being the protective brother of the twins or it's because of Alice.
"A bit of both." Edward thought to me while chuckling. Okay then. I thought.
"I'll take from here." Lucas said. "So it's been two weeks since Jalen and Tiffany went off on their honeymoon. Krystal, Lucina and I were doing some grocery shopping and getting some equipment for my hunting trip with Edward, Jasper and Emmett."
"We were at this sporting goods store getting the equipment and that's when I caught this old dude who owns the store hitting on my wife and then tried to make a move on my goddaughter." Pervert! I thought. That's when Edward started chuckling as some of the other Cullens stifle a laugh. What's so funny?
"I snapped and kinda," Krystal interrupted him with a cough. "Okay fine! I shoved that guy hard sending him crashing into the tables and that's when Charlie came in arresting the guy." Charlie shook his head and he looked mad. Did I miss something?
"When we got home and told everyone what happened, Edward started laughing when he saw it in our heads." Lucas said and that caused Edward to burst out laughing.
"They met Mike Newton." He said and that caused everyone else to laugh. Mike, does he mean that marshmallow who had a thing for Bella?
"Yes, that guy." Lucina said to me in my head. Once again, pervert!
"Then Edward's humor went away when Mike not only got arrested for harassing on Lucina but also for having a secret fantasy affair." Lucas said. Huh? "You see, when I sent Mike crashing into the tables, stuff came flying everywhere and a photo flew into my hands. It was photo shopped picture of Mike as some hunk with Bella in a… bikini." Bella shuddered as Edward gave a small growl. Now I understand why Mike's wife divorced him. Edward nodded his head to me. Man, I am getting good at this.
"After calming Edward down for wanting to kill Mike, Jacob and Nessie came home from work with some… well news." Lucas said and we all turned to them.
"A newspaper was delivered at work. There was a list of people that are still wanted from their crimes," Jacob explained. "And Jalen's one of them for what his foster dad did." Oh damn.
"We planned on finding Jalen's foster sister but with caution since we don't want people thinking the wrong way of us knowing about Jalen's whereabouts along with not exposing ourselves to how we know." Carlisle said. That is hard to do when you're a vampire living with humans.
"That's when Aunt Alice had a vision of Jalen and Tiffany's return home," Nessie said and started giggling. "And then she took off running in fear." She said causing some of the Cullens to snicker.
"Why?" Renee asked.
"Tiffany bust down the door in total rage." Lucas said. "She then demands me to give her my aura and then started chasing after Alice."
"What for?" Mom asked.
"What do you think I wanna kill that little pixie for?" Tiffany asked. Well let's see here; Tiffany plus Alice plus honeymoon equals – wait a minute.
"She went through your clothes, didn't she?" I asked causing the Cullens to burst out laughing minus Alice. That answers my question.
"So while Tiffany was chasing Alice around the house, the Cullens told me of my 'crime' I was framed for." Jalen said and sighed. "It didn't surprise me one bit. But everyone was willing to find my foster sister and help me clear my name."
"On to the other subject, before I got married, I talked to Carlisle asking him for some advice." Jalen said. "I asked him what I should do to start over my new life as a vampire because being with Tiffany and Lucina isn't just it. Carlisle suggested that I should attend school. So I decided to go back to high school with the others so I could get my diploma."
"You never finished high school?" Renee asked.
"Nope but I had private tutors when I was a kid before I lost my parents and during my time on the run, I spend time in the library getting free lessons and learned everything by myself on the subjects school would teach." Jalen explained. Wow, Jalen really impresses me.
"So as I said, I made the decision to go back to school and get my diploma. I was joined by the Cullens and Lucina." Jalen said.
"Lucina?!" Mom and dad said in shock.
"She's six though." I pointed out. "Why would you push her so hard?"
"I'm smarter than an average six year old. I have a good vampire memory, remember?" Lucina said laughing so beautifully.
"The same thing we did with Nessie even though I felt like regretting it." Edward said. "But I knew better than get in the way of what my daughter wants." I guess that makes sense but still at six years old?
Jalen turned to Lucina and nodded his head causing her to be excited. I guess she wants to tell the story and I was right.
"Okay, so we all started our first day of school," Lucina began. "You already knew how our story goes to the humans. We added that Krystal is Esme's niece and Carlisle is my godfather along with mom and dad; mom is my biological sister who is teaching and dad is my step brother and we used dad's story of how we lost his family and Carlisle took us in. Nessie was home schooled. The class level everyone was in was like how Lucas first returned to high school adding that I'm a freshman, Krystal's a junior and dad's a senior."
Wow, the Cullens sure know how to make a story to avoid suspicion.
"Humans are easy to lie to, Sam." Edward thought to me. Well that was offensive. I thought as Edward chuckles.
"So we went to North Central High. I made new friends; Kelsi Stylez, Blair Phoenix, Axel Sharp, Cyrus Graham and Serenity Ross." Lucina said. Well that's good. "They were nice to me, unlike nearly the entire school."
"What do you mean?" I asked causing Jalen and Bryce to sigh.
"When we got inside the school, everyone was looking at us. Its way different than how people would react to our appearance." Jalen said. "To translate in English, if you seen those movies where jocks, cheerleaders, nerds and popular people behave and go in their own group, that's what it's like at that school. People who are at the top, treats people below them like dirt including new kids."
"That's terrible." Renee said as Charlie, Asher and Elena shook their heads. Wow, who's idea to run a school like that? Timberline wasn't like that, at all.
"So I had my classes which were not so hard. Oh just to make it easy for you three, Lucina had at least one of us in her class as a T.A." Jalen said to my parents and I. That's good to know. "I had English with Lucas even though he was a junior and then I had Calculus and that's where I met Bryce."
"Jalen and I introduce each other and got to know one another. For the record, I had no idea about the vampires and werewolves so just hold on." Bryce said.
"And that's when I met The Big Five." Jalen said shaking his head.
"The who?" I asked. That's when Bryce sighed and took over.
"The Big Five are a group of popular students who 'owns the school.'" He explained. "There's Sierra Wheeler, she's was the captain of the volleyball team and an expert in fashion, through her eyes. Her family owns the popular country club Solar Flare. Next is Falkner Byron. He was the top of our class in academics. His family works at Microsoft Corporation. With that, he knows a bit about hacking and codes but nothing compared to Lucas who has his degree in computer science."
"Wait, you got your degree Lucas?" Dad asked.
"Oh yeah, around the time before we met Jalen, I decided to go to the college I was accepted to and got my degree in computer science. Now I help fix computers, create programs and use my hacking skills. I made more money than when I got my inheritance. Krystal also attended college and got her degree in art and makes tons of money selling her drawings." Lucas said as he and Krystal smiled proudly. Damn.
"Anyway, we have Ariel Watson, the head cheerleader who acts like she's five." Bryce continued on. "She's dating, or used to, I don't know, Mitch Nystrom. He's the muscles, quarterback and the toughest player on the football team. His family owns the large dealership Nystrom Motors. Last of all is their leader, Orion Stern." At those words, the Cullens hissed. Is he that bad? "He was the captain and star player of the basketball team and his family owns Stern Internationals. As their group name states, they are the big five of the school, the top students. They practically run the campus where they can mistreat others below them as much as they want and anyone like them follows their lead." Bryce finishes. Unbelievable! Who raised their kids to behave like that? How could the faculty let students treat like that to others just because of what they are in school?
"Orion and his friends tried to scare me but a little insult had no effect on me." Jalen smirked.
"Not everyone can stand up to The Big Five and live." Bryce said earning a five from Jalen. That's when Jalen frown.
"I was about to ask Bryce why couldn't the students report them when Lucina came." He said causing Lucina to blush. Wait whaaaaaat?
"That's when I met Lucina and fell in love with her." Bryce said shyly causing my parents and me to look at each other in dumbstruck before turning to the others who told us to wait.
"I took Lucina with me just as she was frozen from meeting Bryce and we headed off to class." Jalen said. "So it was lunchtime now and Lucina sat with her new friends while the rest of us sat together. That's when mostly everyone in school was being so negative about us."
"The only reason I have a problem is because of their negative feelings towards us and others." Jasper said looking annoyed.
"They called me a dumb blonde." Rosalie sneered.
"They're the ones with no sense of fashion!" Alice said.
"I'm way smarter than those guys." Emmett said sounding serious and then smirked. "You should've seen their faces when I solved a very difficult equation. It wasn't that hard."
"I may be short, but I have the muscles as shown when two jocks tried to tackle me easily when playing basketball. They barely put up a fight." Lucas said rubbing his knuckles to his chest causing me to blush.
"Everyone is beautiful in their own ways." Krystal said.
"My heart belongs to Edward and only Edward. No other guy can take my heart away from him." Bella said.
"Nobody's perfect." Edward said shaking his head.
"And you don't want to hear what they say about me and Lucina. To top it off, that school was like how I was treated during my time on the run. They show no respect to others except for those who do." Jalen finished. Wow, I thought we are in the new generation where anyone can do what they want to do regardless of how they look. I wonder what made the school changed.
"How come the teachers let students behave like this?" Charlie asked.
"Mr. Bitters, the principal, calls the shots at the school. Any complaint must be directed to him only and only he makes the decision but we'll get to that in a minute." Bryce said sighing. Something doesn't sound good coming from Bryce.
"He's another thing that happened." Jalen said. "There's the mystery about my English teacher. When we ran into her at lunch and had a small conversation, according to Jasper, her feelings to me were euphorically happy. Edward can barely read her mind and Lucas was familiar to the teacher's name but couldn't figure it out. That's just one of the mysteries."
"One of them?" Asher asked.
"Again, we'll get to that later." Jalen said.
"How about I tell them my side that happened after school." Bryce said and turned to us. "Again, I had no idea about the supernatural until later. Lucina was all I could think about all day and my family over there figured it out from my behavior. I knew that most brothers wouldn't like their younger sisters to be dating. Jalen was someone I already consider a friend and I figured I keep it that way until he opens up about me and Lucina being together."
"I don't think even back then I would approve." Jalen chuckled causing Tiffany to slap his chest. I resisted myself from saying anything and I know my parents are doing the same.
"Okay so the next day, we were at school. I had class with Bryce again who I was surprised that he apologized for how he started to have a thing for Lucina." Jalen said.
"I'm not an idiot you know." Bryce said to him.
"Anyways, Bryce invited me to sit with him and his friends at lunch. Nothing personal but I would've said no, had not Alice here made me." Jalen said.
"That's only because she wanted Jalen to be opened with Bryce about him and Lucina." Edward chuckled causing Jalen to give him a dirty look before he continued.
"So, I met Bryce's friends; Colton and Amber. I learned that Bryce still gets pick even though he's on the basketball team with Colton." Are you serious?
"Why would they still pick on you even though you're a jock?" Charlie asked.
"Home school plus new kid plus asthma equals doesn't work that way. You stick to the status quo according to that school." Bryce said.
"The three of them told me about what the school's like and that's when Amber's brother Axel came up to us and Lucina's with them. Would you stop blushing?!" Jalen said in annoyance causing the guys to laugh when Lucina blushed and Bryce looked away.
"And that's when Orion came, making a move on Lucina." Bryce said causing the Cullen family to growl. That guy did what to my niece?!
"He was totally harassing her! Luckily Bryce and I got Lucina out of Orion's hands." Jalen said. Well that's good. Can you imagine if this Orion guy knew how old Lucina really is? "Then Orion started a fight with me. Well, if you would call it a fight if I fought back which I didn't."
"Here." Bryce pulled his phone and showed a video that has bad audio but is was able to show a boy with blonde highlights with brown roots and tips in a faux hawk all dress formal throwing punches at Jalen. He wasn't fighting back against Orion and instead evading every single hit which I'm guess from his gift. The video ended when Orion threw another punch which Jalen dodged it again and fell to the floor.
"Nice!" Russell said.
"Yeah but I got sent to the principal's office by the principal himself." Jalen said shaking his head.
"What?!"
"But Orion started the fight. You didn't even hit him back." Nina said.
"Yeah, he knows that even though he was there watching the whole thing." Edward said gritting his teeth as Elena and Asher were shaking their heads.
The principal saw it all and yet Jalen gets the blame? What the hell?
"Here's what you need to know about Mr. Bitters." Bryce said. "From what I hear, he was once like Orion and the others when he was in school, so now that he's principal, he wants to relive those moments and influence other students to act like him." Okay, who made him the principal?
"He's very bias to students. He only favors the top students such as jocks, cheerleaders and the most highest academic student such as Orion and his friends. Mostly them especially Orion with the generous 'donation' his family gives to the school. Mr. Bitters is also greedy with money. He only funds on 'important things' such as football and everything else he spends it all for himself." Jalen said. Well that's selfish.
"So there I was in the in the principal's office (don't ask what it's like in there) and Mr. Bitters was siding with Orion that I was picking on him." Jalen said in disbelief. "I haven't lasted one week at that school and the principal was about to suspend me but that was until my English teacher came in and bailed me out. Don't ever mess with her; she may be nice to her students and treats them right but when it comes to someone she cares about such as her students like me for example, she's a whole new person with fire in her eyes."
I saw Asher chuckled. I wonder if Jalen's English teacher could teach me that so I could use it on my students.
"I was glad that I didn't get punished but was beyond angry on how history was repeating itself." Jalen said as his fist tightened. "My English teacher calmed me down and I thanked her for the help. She told me about Mr. Bitters and how she and the staff can't do a thing unless they want to lose their teaching license and then she walked me to my class. I never understood my teacher back then why she cares so much about me. Once again, another mystery that I couldn't figure out until later." Jalen said. Wow, I can't believe this principal gave rights and control of the school and faculty. What a total ass.
"Tiffany found out about what happened at school using her gift to see through my eyes. That was creepy by the way." Jalen commented to my sister causing Tiffany to chuckle. "Anyway, Tiffany believed that I can manage through high school and she also believed that I could make a difference to that school." Tiffany smiled and kissed his cheek.
I want to know what happened to the school now but I'm sure they'll tell us. I don't want any spoilers.
"So the next day at school, Bryce told me how I was starting a revolution for students standing up to the popular people." Jalen said. Wow, looks like Tiffany was dead on about Jalen's fate. "He showed me that video and everything. Then Lucina met Bryce, again," Jalen said rolling his eyes.
"And then I surprised myself by asking Lucina out to lunch." Bryce said causing Lucina to blush.
"I just couldn't believe it then. I didn't understand why Bryce would be so interested in me since he's a senior and not to mention beautiful." Lucina said.
"Not as beautiful as you sunshine." Bryce said smiling to her causing my niece to blush again. How is that smile so hard to resist? I saw the Gold sisters looking very excited to those two.
"So we just talk, getting to know about each other and such." Lucina said. "I was about to ask Bryce something when we were interrupted by Orion who made a commotion by falling face first in meatloaf."
"Thanks to yours truly." Lucas said. "Alice saw it happening when Orion was not happy about Bryce making a move with Lucina before he did and before Orion could get over there to make things bad for them, I threw a banana peel right at his feet causing him to slip and slide to the meatloaf." That caused us all to laugh.
"Awesome!" Russell said.
"Okay so after lunch I saw Bryce asking Lucina for her number and since then those two have been texting like nonstop." Jalen said. Hold your questions there Sam. "Tiffany notices it and that's when she heard about Bryce." That causes Lucas, Jasper, Edward, Jacob and Emmett to snicker. Okay how many other funny parts to the story are there?
"What is so funny now?" Charlie asked.
"Tiffany was not so happy to hear about what's going on between Lucina and Bryce." Jasper said bursting out some laughing with the others.
"I told Lucina I didn't want her to be involved with Bryce but that was only because I didn't want her to grow up so fast. She's already growing into a woman and she's only six now." Tiffany said wiping her eyes like she was crying even though there were no tears. "I know better than to take away what makes my daughter happy, I just wanted what's best for her. If she wants to get involve with Bryce, then I let her."
"But before that happened, we had a guest with us." Jalen said. "Here's the other mystery that went on with us."
"Jacob and Nessie came back from work and brought a girl name Jemma." Carlisle said.
"We found her crying and she was really scared when we brought her in; she was all dirty and everything. She was all alone so we let her in." Nessie said.
"And what's the big deal about this girl?" Russell asked.
"You should know; you saw her before." Bryce said.
"I have?" Russell said.
"Yeah, that girl you saw at the park with very black hair you tried to flirt with but never got the chance last winter." Edward said.
"That was her?!" Russell said.
"What about her?" Ellie asked.
"We believed her to be a hybrid." Edward said.
"You mean she's also a vampire?!" Dexter said. Did I miss something with these people?
"What do you mean 'you believed her to be'?" Charlie asked when he picked up something.
"Here's the thing about her; she has no scent of either human or vampire." Jacob explained. Whoa, what?! "None of the Cullens' gifts had any effect on her; Lucas can't see Jemma's aura, Edward can barely read her mind, just on what currently goes on in her head, Jalen can't track her and pixie here can't see her future."
"Okay what kind of person is that girl?" Austin asked. Yeah this is so crazy to hear.
"We don't know because that's a mystery that we were on guard for." Edward said. Damn, these crazy things must happen to the Cullens a lot. Edward nodded his head to me.
"So a week has passed and Jemma has been living with us. Nothing happened as far as we see it so far. Jemma was feeling comfortable at our place but she doesn't talk much and she hasn't told us about herself." Jalen said. Well you can't blame her. "She would mostly stay in her room, she comes out after an hour or so and come to us individually seeing us playing video games, playing the piano, draw, you know, enjoying our lives. After that, she goes back to her room. That girl is full of mysteries." That is odd but something seems up with that girl.
"Anyway, Bryce asked me permission to ask my daughter out on a date. I told him that if he breaks her heart, I break his neck. He didn't know I was being for real about it." Jalen said.
"Wait what?!" Bryce said. Lucina then took over when she spoke.
"So there I was at lunch with my friends." She said. "Then Axel's sister brought him his textbook. In it was an envelope addressed to me. It was a poem." Lucina then blushed. "Bryce asked me out on a date." That caused the twins, Nina and Alice and Krystal to squeal."
"After that happened, Alice was talking about plans for my birthday. Crazy pixie." Jalen said. Alice stuck her tongue at him. "Then my English teacher came up just to say hello. Here's a surprise, she knew about my birthday without being told."
"How did she know?" Trina asked.
"Once again, that's another part of the mystery of my English teacher." Jalen said.
"Can we hear about your date?" Renee asked. I admit I am curious to know.
"Okay here's how it went down. There is one part I never told you guys about that happened on our first date." Bryce said to his family. "So I got all dressed and went over to the Cullen's house to pick Lucina up for our date. I was completely surprised about the place." Well how could you not react with a house this big?
"I met Carlisle and Esme and Tiffany as well." Bryce continued. "I took Lucina to Sky City, the restaurant I used to work at as a waiter." Whoa, seriously? That restaurant is like expensive.
"Lucina and I just talk about what I was planning after high school. I didn't know what to do back then." Bryce said. "As we were getting to dessert, I was just about to tell Lucina how I feel about her until I caught Orion and his friends there." Oh no.
"They caught us and Orion first accused me of messing up his plans to ask Lucina out by going to his locker and mess up his recording teddy saying the office lady was uptight." Bryce said.
"That would be me!" Emmett said grinning proudly. "Alice saw that coming so we went to Orion's locker and had some fun with the teddy bear and then got him in trouble."
"And that's what Orion blamed me for." Bryce said in a 'thank you for that' tone to those two. "I got yanked out of my seat and got roughed up a bit since the evidence seems pretty convincing to them. Then Orion held me down and got Mitch to grab our chocolate cake and splatter me with it in a mess," The gasps came. "But he actually shoved the cake on Orion because of Jacob who really surprised me to death if you know why." I looked at Jacob and sure enough he must be what close to seven feet?
"If you're wondering about what I was doing there, let me explain." Jacob said as little Sarah snuggled close to him. "Nessie and I were about to leave La Push until Alice called and told us what she saw which was Orion attempting to ruin Bryce and Lucina's date. So we got there as fast as we could, I stepped in and got Mitch shoving the cake at Orion instead of Bryce." Jacob smirked as little Evan gave a laugh and got out of Nessie's arms to climb on Jacob's back.
"So, Orion and his friends got kicked out of the restaurant along with being banned from the place. Orion did try to sue the restaurant but we countersued them." Lucina said. Well that's good.
"Lucina introduced me to Nessie and Jacob and then I excused myself to shake it all of what happened." Bryce said.
"They told me how they knew and they left after that leaving me and Bryce alone to finish our date. It was amazing." Lucina said. "We finished our date and Bryce drove me home. When he walked me to the front door, I didn't think Bryce would like me, but I was wrong when he told me how he feels about me.
"I told Lucina that I like her and that we should go out again and Lucina feels the same thing which makes me the happiest man ever." Bryce said taking Lucina's hands that were wrapped around his neck as Lucina kissed the top of his head.
"That's when we had our first kiss." Lucina said causing the twins to squeal like crazy.
"Next Christmas, can you guys buy us some ear plugs?!" Russell asked as he and Dexter covered their ears. Now for the question I've been meaning to ask.
"So wait, you and Bryce are now together?" I asked slowly. Bryce sighed as he faced me and my parents with confidence.
"Gwen, Hayden, Sam, I know you think that our relationship look scandalous due to the age difference. I wouldn't force it even if I have known her actual age but I would never take advantage of Lucina because of it and I would never in my life intend on hurting her, not counting the time when," Bryce sighed again as Lucina placed one of her hands on top of his and gave it a firm squeeze. "Again, I wouldn't force Lucina in a relationship but if she wants to be with me to what her heart tells her, then I will pursue a relationship with her. Plus you know that Lucina is way smart for her age."
"We love each other. I don't know what my life would be like if I didn't have Bryce in it." Lucina said to us.
"Well I could imagine." Jalen said causing Tiffany to slap his chest.
"You're okay with this?" Dad asked Jalen.
Jalen sighed as he spoke. "I never liked the idea of Lucina dating so soon. I just became a father to her and I didn't want her to grow up even though she has but I knew better than to get in the way of what makes Lucina happy like when," Jalen sighed, the same way Bryce did. What's going on?
"And you guys are okay with this as well?" Dad asked Austin and Ellie.
"Hey, we didn't know about all of this, remember?" Austin said.
"But if we had known, we just wanted Bryce to be happy." Ellie said.
"Well I don't see a reason for me to stop this." Mom said giving Bryce and Lucina a smile.
"Well if Edward's okay with Jacob being with Nessie even at her age, and Austin and Ellie are okay and if Jalen approves, then I don't see why I should get in the way of it." Dad said with a smile of approval.
"Well, if you two are happy, then so am I." I said to them with a smile.
"Thank you." Bryce said.
"Thanks you guys." Lucina smiled. "I love you. You're the best." I almost cried there when she spoke to me in my head.
"Okay, back to the story." Bryce said.
"So you knew about Lucina's actual age and the Cullens being vampires and are okay with it?" Ellie asked.
"Let's hold that question until later." Bryce said. "So I said goodbye to Lucina and went home from an amazing date."
"I came home and everyone was inside." Lucina said and then giggled. "Uncle Emmett and Jacob were holding daddy down."
"That's because they were stopping me from stopping Bryce kissing my daughter." Jalen said.
"You mean like this?" Bryce smirked and quickly pecks his lips on Lucina causing Jalen to be held down by Tiffany and Krystal when he was about go at Bryce while the other boys started laughing. Okay that I need to get used to.
"Anyway, Lucas went upstairs to check on Jemma. Then he came down with bad news." Lucina said.
"Jemma wasn't in her room, she wasn't at the house. She just disappeared suddenly without knowing." Lucas said.
"How?" Elena asked.
"It was a surprise to us all and we started searching for Jemma although it's not easy since we can't track her without a scent." Carlisle said. Okay what is with this girl? Jemma just shows up suddenly and then disappears?
"We couldn't find Jemma but Bella and I did find something else." Edward said. "We caught a scent of a hybrid that was up on the north, stayed there for a while and then turned back."
"What's a hybrid doing in Forks? And why would it just appear and just turn around?" Dexter asked. Yeah, that sounds a bit odd.
"I believe that Jemma is with that hybrid." Bella said. Really? Now that I think about it; Jemma's disappearance and a hybrid's sudden appearance does sound unlikely a coincidence.
"I thought Jemma didn't have anyone with her." Asher said.
"That's what we thought too. We didn't know what they were up to but we did found out something." Edward said.
"I had a vision, not a full vision, of the Volturi." Alice said. Not again. "I couldn't fully see their future but something will happen to the Volturi. It's someone else making the decision against them and we didn't know who."
"Is that supposed to be good?" Russell asked.
"Maybe to most of us but the Volturi's future affects us all." Lucas said.
"And that's another mystery we won't know until later." Jalen said.
Man, so many mysteries in one story? Do the Cullens ever live a 'normal' life?
Another long chapter in my writing. Next up is part 2. Please review.
