That's What Little Girls Are Made Of...

Chapter One Thirty-One

B

Wiping away the blinding tears, I read through Maggie's letter for what seemed like the millionth time. Not that I didn't already have it memorized, it's just that, reading it, made me feel closer to my parents.

And yes, Carlisle and Esme Cullen were as much of a mother and father to me as Charlie had been, and Renee had hoped to be. Of what Charlie had told me of my mother, I knew that she and Me-Me would have been the best of friends.

The first letter, which was postmarked only days after we left for our trip read pretty much the same as the second, which arrived a day or two before we came home. Well, almost the same. The wording may have been close to identical, but for me, the second letter held a bit more urgency.

Maggie seemed like she wanted to help us, but why?

What was in this for her?

Those were the two burning questions that continued to plague my mind.

I didn't know that much about Carlisle's family, but from what I'd heard, none of them seemed too amiable. Helping others didn't seem to be their strong suit.

I yawned, feeling amped up physically, but mentally drained. Pulling the plush blanket tighter around me, I stared out the window at the endless clusters of white pillowy clouds. Oh to be carefree and enjoying life again.

Edward and the guys were off strategizing over at the large conference table in the center of the plane, and Rose and Alice were both curled up in the bedrooms sleeping. Under normal circumstances, I'd be awed by something as magnificent as this aircraft, but today, not so much.

Sighing, I looked down at the words that were now tattooed on my brain.../fiance

Dear Edward and Isabella,

My name is Maggie Cullen; I'm Carlisle's baby sister.

I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for the pain that my father has inflicted upon you and your loved ones.

Though I am far from blameless in all this, I did not have any prior knowledge of my father's evil plan to kidnap my brother and practically force him to marry Tanya Denali.

I know I can never right this terrible wrong, but please, please try to see things from my perspective. I now know that it was wrong of my not to try and contact you before, but please try and understand my point of view, Esme is the only true friend I've ever had, and once I lose her, I know I'll have nothing left. My mother and brother abandoned me a long time ago.

Esme has shown me what it means to love someone unconditionally, and I guess I just didn't want to let go of that. I didn't know how to let go. I realize now that I was being selfish, and that makes me no better than Eleazar. Esme it a good person that deserves to be with her family and all the people that love her, not locked away like some medieval criminal.

Eleazar is getting suspicious, so I don't know how much time we have before he tries to take her away; it was never his plan to keep her in the first place, but he did. His plan was to use her against Carlisle if he didn't cooperate.

Please, hurry!

I would never be able to forgive myself if something were to happen to this remarkable woman.

As for Carlisle, he's safe... for now at least. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in the crash and has yet to regain his memory. That bitch Tanya Denali and my father have used this to their advantage.

But subconsciously, I think he's starting to remember things. The other day, I heard him calling out for Esme in his sleep. Luckily for everyone, there was no one else around.

I don't know how much longer I can keep them from finding out. With this latest development, neither one of them are safe!

In the envelope, I've enclosed four burn phones, a USB drive – on it, you will find everything you need to get pass the security system, layouts of the house and the basement, and every weakness and strength of Eleazar's security team. This will give you a complete advantage, and they'll never see it coming.

I've programmed the number to another untraceable phone in each of the ones I've sent to you, notify me as soon as you land, and I will keep you posted on any new developments.

I wish you luck; we're going to need it!

Margret Cullen

Warning:

This is NOT a matter for the authorities; Eleazar Cullen does not fight fair.

Gripping the letter tightly to my chest, it was her warning that had me most afraid. Despite the information that she had forwarded to Edward and the guys, we still were going into this virtually blind. Looking over at all the men in my life who have vowed on more than one occasion to keep me and my sisters safe, I can't help but to worry.

If for some reason this little covert mission somehow goes wrong...

God help us all.

Don't know about you, but I am seriously biting my nails here! Let me know what you guys think!
