Chapter 7: Impossible

Anthony's POV

It was odd how fast things could change. I had never had a grandfather before but in just a few hours I could tell that grandpa Billy already loved me like a grandson. When I informed him and Leah that my brother and sister were still missing they sent out a search party. They found Jacob but not Nessie. I wasn't too worried about my sister though. Out of all of us she was the smartest and most resourceful.

It hadn't taken them long to find my brother. It had taken even less time to accept him as a part of the family. I sat there in disebelief listening to my grandfather talk about the man who was apparently our father. Apparently his name was Jacob as well. So my grandfather started referring to him as Jacob Jr.

We spent the night there and listened to my grandfather tell us stories about our father. Grandpa probably would have kept on telling us stories if it weren't for us almost falling asleep on him several times. I could definitely get used to living here with my family.

At one point this morning I stepped outside for some fresh air.

"Where are you going?" my brother asked.

"For a walk. I will be back soon," I signed to him.

I didn't give him the chance to even try to stop me. My brother and sister hated it when I went off on my own. They had a tendency to treat me like I was their little brother and honestly I hated it. Just because I had a disability didn't mean I wasn't capable of taking care of myself.

Technically I was the oldest out of the three of us. I was the first one to be born. My brother came second three hours after me. Then Nessie came two hours after him. Not that birth order mattered all that much anyway. We were all the same age on paper. It really was just a technicality.

I felt my heart speed up when I remembered that my father was supposed to arrive at some point today. It excited and terrified me at the same time.

"Anthony!" I was jolted out of my thoughts when I heard my sister calling my name. I spun around in the sand. I had walked all the way to the beach and hadn't even realized it.

"There you are you idiot! You and Jacob owe me a huge explanation. Where the hell did you two disappear to?!"

"You won't believe what happened. I heard a wolf howling in the woods last night and it lead me here. To this Indian reservation. You are not going to believe it but I met our family! Our father is from here! He is on his way here right now! Our grandfather is still alive and he lives here. He's the nicest man ever. You'll love him. They sent people to look for you and Jacob last night. They found Jacob but where have you been?"

My sister looked at me as if I had jusy grown another two heads. "That's impossible,"

"What is?"

"That you met our family,"

"Nessie I swear it's true. Our grandfather says I look exactly like our father. His name is Jacob also. I swear I'm not lying,"

"No that can't be true because I have been with our family,"

Now it was my turn to be confused. "What are you talking about?"

"When I could not find you and Jacob I got lost. I ended up at a house. The people living there claimed to know who our father was. So his family came this morning. At first they didn't believe that I was related to them. But one of them is a doctor and he did a blood test. Which confirmed that I was related to them. Which means you are to,"

Nothing my sister was saying was making sense. How could she have been with our family? Jacob and I were with our real family this whole time.

"I snuck away to come find you and Jacob,"

"You snuck away?"

"Yeah they think I'm still at the house recovering. I might've had a little accident earlier," she then showed me the wound on the back of her head. "After the blood test confirmed I was related to them they said they needed to go out for some time to talk. I was under explicit orders to remain at the house in bed. I don't think they will be to pleased to discover I didn't listen,"

I smiled. Back home we were on our own a lot. We were used to being our own bosses. So listening to other people tell us what to do was something that didn't sit well with neither one of us. Mom would give us rules but she usually wasn't around enough to really enforce them anyway.

"None of this is making any sense. How could I have been with our real family and you have been with our real family at the same time?"

"I don't know. There must be something that we are missing. Blood tests don't lie,"

"Why don't we go back to our family? I mean the family that I have been with. Maybe we will be able to clear up some of the confusion,"

Nessie nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah besides I'm getting a headache trying to figure all of this out. Or maybe it's just the head injury,"

We didn't say anything more as I lead Nessie back to the house I'd been staying at. I stopped in my tracks when I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from inside. Our brother was just outside of the house listening as well.

"It happened the night before the wedding. Bella kept saying that she didn't want to because she loved Edward but I could tell that she did want to. She just didn't want to admit it. I wanted to show her what it would be like if she stayed human. She finally said 'yes' and that's when it happened. Edward never found out because I was able to stop myself from thinking about it at the wedding,"
