It wasn't them. That wasn't 'Mony nor was that Damion. I could tell the second we made eye contact. The light that shined in their eyes before, gone. The love and happiness that was present, gone. What was there was emptiness, hate, and lifeless. Soulless in their now dilated eyes. When I saw them, a vision was presented, and their faces morphed into Them. Vevila and Ubel. I knew Harmony and Damion moved on! Then, the words that Damion and Harmony said to me popped into my head.

"What you are about to see and go through isn't us…"

"Don't be deceived about what is happening my love. No matter what, remember US, not them…"

"We love you. Forever and always..."

I backed out of the room slowly and a sinister smile played upon "Damion's" face. He looked at me with his eyes and called me out.

"Where are you going Xiana? We don't get a hug?" He said, laughing as if this was a joke. I smiled a fake smile and silently wished I was anywhere but here. I walked over to Damion (Ubel) and leaned down to hug him. He had a faint smell of decay and was ice cold. I backed away as fast as I could in the least noticeable way. I went over to hug Harmony (Vevila) and she grasps onto me, digging her nails into me, almost making me cry out. She whispers in my ear,

"Not a word or everyone dies. Got it?" she says before pulling away from me. I slightly nod and take a step back.

"I missed my baby girl." She smiles at me. I tell everyone I wasn't feeling well and step out for air. Once out of the room, I b-line for the elevator to leave. I run into Emmett coming out of the elevator with Edward.

"Woah, Woah, Woah, Xiana. Where's the fire?" Emmett says jokingly. My mind running a mile a minute and Edward calls me out.

"What was that?" I look at him confused and look behind me, thinking he saw something, but he was looking at me. He glanced at Emmett then back at me with a terrifying and questionable look on his face.

"Come with me. Emmett, call Carlisle to check on the Oshiro's. Let him know that Xiana is in my office. I'll call Asher and Bella." Edward said turning back towards the elevator. Emmett nods his head without questions and heads towards my "parents" room. I follow Edward and he calls Bella and Asher up to his office. We stay silent the whole time until we reach our destination. Upon arrival, Asher grabs me into a hug and asks if I'm okay.

"I'm fine. Just, I don't know, shocked?"

"Why are you confused about your parents being alive?" Edward asked outright. Bella looks at him as if he has lost his mind.

"Edward?" he ignores her.

"Why were you trying to run from your parents' room? Why are you afraid? Who were those people?" Edward said, stressing each word and pulling Bella behind him as if I'm going to hurt her.

"Edward! Stop it! What is going on!" Bella says, attempting to step around him. Asher looks at him confused and angry.

"What happened?" Asher asked me, looking at me confused.

"She said her parents shouldn't be alive and that she has to hurry up to get out of the hospital before everyone dies. Xiana, what the hell did you mean by that?" Asher and Bella looked at Edward with wide eyes and Asher looked at me.

"Baby, what is he talking about?" I look up at him and think to myself, it's time. It's time to tell them who I am.

"Who are you?!" I looked at Edward and instantly realized he could read minds. He read my mind and he misunderstood everything.

"Then explain to us what the hell is going on!" I reacted back and Asher placed himself in front of me.

"Shicheli! (grandfather) Stop it! you're scaring her!" I look at Asher then back at Edward. Before anyone could say anything, Alice walks in.

"Edward stop it! She'll explain later." He looks towards Alice then glairs back at me. A growl is heard from Asher.

"Asher!" Ren says behind us. "You know better." He looks behind me and at Ren.

"Mom, what am I supposed to do? Allow him to kill my imprint!?" Asher says, his body shaking uncontrollably. I grab ahold of his arm to turn him towards me. He does but keeps his eyes everywhere from me.

"Asher, stop Hun, it's fine," I say, trying to gain his attention. He grabs ahold of me tightly as if he's protecting me from them.

"Asher calm down. You don't want to phase! You'll hurt Xi!" Jake said,

"You think I'd hurt her!" his body heat escalates instantly. I grab ahold of his face to look at me.

"Asher, stop! I'm fine! No one is going to hurt me! You have to calm down!" I say to him as calmly as possible. He looks into my eyes and his breathing staggers a little bit.

"It's okay baby. No one is going to hurt me. I know you won't hurt me, Asher." I wrap my arms around him and pull him close. He places his head in my neck and squeezes me tightly. Nobody in the room says a thing until he has fully calmed down. He raises his head and looks at me. I give him a smile of reassurance and bring my attention to everyone in the room.

"I will explain everything later tonight." Looking back at Asher, "You deserve to know everything about me. Things I haven't told a single soul. Not even Harmony and Damion. I've learned from the mistake of not telling anyone, and because I love you, I think it's time to confess some things." Asher looks at me with confusion. His grip stays the same and he nods his head. I can tell he's nervous. Everyone in the room is, but I give him a sad smile and hope that he trusts me.

I went back to my family with Asher in tow. When we got to the room, all eyes were on me. Uncle Manny asked where I disappeared to.

"Oh, I just needed some air. I figured you guys could use extra time with them since I live here." I said smiling. They all nodded and went back to talking with each other. I could feel Asher stiff behind me. When I looked up at him, he was making direct contact at Damion and Harmony. He knew something was wrong too. We stayed a little while longer before leaving for the evening.

Since it was the weekend, and I trust that my family won't kill each other, I decided to head over to the Cullen's house to explain everything. Asher came to pick me up and I can feel tension running off him every second that goes by. When we pull up to the house, he comes around to open the door for me and helps me out of the car. He stands there, looking at me, then kisses me softly.

"No matter what, I'll always love you Omeale." He says looking at me for the first time since we got into the car. I looked up at him and smiled and hugged him before leading me inside. Once inside we headed towards the living room where everyone was situated. All looking in my direction, the men placed in front of their mates, as if I was to harm anyone there. It hurt, but I understood. I took a deep breath and took center stage.

"I guess I owe everyone here an explanation."
