"Grace!" Nessie shouted as she ran through the house. Others followed behind her all trying to stop her but it was pointless. Nessie was hellbent on seeing her sister. Everyone in the living room stood up and blocked Grace. They all knew Grace was not ready to face the others yet.

"No, no it's okay," Grace whispered as she stood up. She knew it was time rather she was fully ready or not. She knew if she was going to be on lockdown with them for the next month while she trained with Jasper then she would have to make some sort of amends.

"Are you sure?" Esme asked with a worried expression. She hated seeing her family fight but she also didn't want to push the girl into something she didn't want to do. Grace just nodded though and stepped through them to face Nessie, Jacob, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward and Bella. Still no Seth. The hardest part was not here yet.

"I can't be mad at you Nessie. You had no say either, you were a baby too," Grace was trying to think like Damian would. He wouldn't blame people who had no control. He would blame those who were behind it all.

"I'm so sorry," Nessie let her tears fall and finished crossing the room to give her sister a hug. Grace allowed it and hugged her back. She took in the sight of Nessie looking like a normal human girl for now. Nessie wore sweatpants that looked like it had stains on them and a too big black shirt. Her brown hair was pulled into a messy bun with no makeup on her face. For once Grace saw herself in Nessie. She saw the resemblances.

"It's okay, it wasn't your say," Grace kissed Nessie's cheek before looking out at the others. Edward was trying hard to break the shield in her mind but it wasn't working.

"Rosalie and Emmett, I'm not mad at you either and I'm sorry," Grace apologized before Rosalie came over and gave her a giant hug. Rosalie wants to be an aunt to her like she is too Nessie. She wanted to help her buy nice clothes and find a new place to travel. Emmett swooped in and gave a giant bear hug, one that lifted Grace off the ground and knocked the wind out of her. Once they were both done by the moved to stand next to Jasper and Alice. Nessie still hadn't moved from her side.

"Edward and Bella...mom and dad? I don't know. I think right now I'm not ready to forgive you but I do know I need your help in this. You kept one daughter and sent the other away with no contact. I always grew up knowing I didn't fit in then later I found out why. I was back a whole year before Nessie approached me at my show and I think you would have kept me away if Nessie didn't invite me into your world," Grace was holding back tears when she heard the front door open.

"We understand and we are willing to talk whenever you want," Bella talked with a sad look upon her face. She placed a hand over Edwards mouth. She knew he would put his foot in his mouth by accident and dig them deeper with their daughter.

"Jacob," Grace now said with such a force that it felt like the world was also cringing. Jacob looked at with an unknown intensity in his eyes.

"Grace," Jacob said back as he watched Seth walk in to the living room. Grace had yet to notice him but he noticed her and how tired she looked. Seth watched the scene unfold silently, he knew if he disobeyed again the consequences would be more then just extra shifts.

"I am more mad at you then anybody in this room. Nessie was a baby who had no say. You agreed with Edward and Bella to send me away while Seth was left crying and heartbroken because he had a duty to you. Seth hasn't talked to me in weeks other then when I ignited it and I can grantee that's your doing," grace stepped close enough to where she was in front him. She looked up with out breaking eye contact. Jacob stayed silent.

"Whatever thing you have over Seth to get to him to not talk to me I want you to stop," Grace stood up as tall as she could. She wish she was wearing something more powerful looking and not just sweatpants and a hoodie.

"No," Jacob simply said but she could tell his eyes were telling her to challenge him.

"Stop it," Grace said again but this time her temper was rising.

"No," Jacob said again. He was now smirking which only made Grace more mad.

"Stop," Grace commanded but this time a vase that was holding flowers on a table behind them bursted into shards. Water, glass and flowers went everywhere. Everyone ducked and Grace let out a scream. Seth rushes over to shield her from the glass that went flying. He covered her until everything around them stopped.

"That's new?" Carlisle asked as he looked at the damage that was done.

"That's new," Grace whispered before looking down at the arms that were holding her tight. She recognized them just by the touch. Seth helped her stand up again and for a long moment they just stared at each other.

"So a shield with freezing time and blowing up objects when mad," Jacob announced like th wasn't the reason that just happened.

"Break it Jacob," Edward finally said something and glared his son in law down until Jacob could do nothing but sigh.

"Now!" Nessie stomped her foot farther smashing glass into the carpet.

"Fine! Seth you can tell grace whatever you want," Jacob threw his arms up in the air like it was the biggest inconvenience.

"We need to talk then," Seth held out his hand for grace to take which she hesitated on at first until a voice in her mind started screaming.

Take it! Take it and never let go!

"Then let's go talk," Grace took his hand and willingly followed him outside into the rain.

"Be back by ten, we have a lot to do," Jasper could be heard calling out from the living room. The air in there was still tense. Seth and Grace walking a good distance in silence before they both stopped and turned to one another. Grace needed to hear what he said first before she was willing to say anything apologetic to him face to face.

"I need you to just listen and trust me. I will explain everything from your parents to what we are," Seth took a deep breath before running his hands over his face. He sat on the forest floor, he didn't care that he was getting his clothes soaked. He just needed to sit to get through this all. Grace decided to sit in front of him and wait quietly. Her mind was still trying to think about how she made a vase explode.

"I was sixteen at the time and I was still a new shape shifter, wolf. I was once apart of another pack with other wolves but I broke apart of that to be with Jacob. My sister Leah followed. Jacob became his own alpha when Bella was pregnant with you and Nessie. Bella was still human then but Edward was a vampire. When it was time to give birth...Bella died. Edward changed her and it took days. In that time Jacob and I laid eyes on you and Nessie. In our tribes legends we, the protectors, have imprints. Imprints are in a simple term a soulmate but it means so much more then that," Seth took a deep breath and studied Graces calm face. He nodded before continuing.

"After you two were born the Volturi learned and wanted to come see you two. They are like these really old and extremely powerful vampires. Once we all got word of that...Jacob and your parents decided it was best to send you away. You had no powers and you were growing at a normal human rate. They felt confident in sending you to a family Carlisle knew. I tried my best to argue! I tried my best to come with you but Jacob put an alpha command that I stay here for the pack. I had no choice but to have faith that you would come back. I waited and waited and waited then finally you were back," Seth reached out and grabbed her now cold and wet hands. He held them tightly in his.

"When I found out you were back I promised myself that I would be anything you wanted me to be. I didn't want to lie to you but I was forced. I wanted to tell you the truth the moment I saw you at the art show. I would slip up from time to time and when you said I love you...," Seth shook his head and looked at his lap. He felt like he was the worst person who ever lived.

"Seth," Grace finally spoke but it was quiet. If Seth didn't have excellent hearing then he would have missed it.

"I don't blame you. I love you," Grace pulled her hands away and reached to cup Seth's face. She loved his warmth. She leaned in closely and when their lips met it was like magic all over again. It's like all their wounds healed.

"I do blame Jacob for some of this though and he better stay clear of me for a bit if he doesn't want to be the next thing blown up," Grace has a feistiness in his voice when they broke apart. The sound matched the look in her eyes and it scared Seth to an extent. He could only hope her powers would get in check soon because he could not deny that he wanted to see Jacob get hurt as well.
