"So how do you know me? And by the way, I wasn't adopted." Percy informed the stranger sitting there with her.
"I know you weren't, you were stolen actually, from my family." Edward said.
"Okay. Whatever. What's this vampire crap you mentioned?" Percy asked thinking this guy was a nut job.
"Let me start from the beginning. My name is Edward Cullen; I was born in Chicago in 1901 as Edward Masen. Carlisle Cullen changed me into a vampire at the age of 17 when I was dying of Spanish Influenza in 1918. I live now in Alaska with my family and have for the past 50 years."
"Wait. Your family?"
"Yes, my family. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are my siblings. Carlisle and Esme are my parents. There's also Bella, who is my wife, and Reneesme is my daughter. Then there is Gigi and Dylan, they are your parents."
"My…my parents?"
"Yes, and they miss you terribly."
"But if I'm a vampire then why do I not want to drink people's blood." Percy was beginning to get sarcastic about this now.
"Reneesme, my daughter, is somewhat like you. When she was born, her mother was still human and I was a vampire, so she is half human, half vampire. She was born 50 years ago and is 15 now. My coven started to crossbreed humans and vampires enough so that our children's human side would be more prominent for a short part of their lives. When the child is born, they are a perfect being, the most beautiful of all, and on their 15th birthday, their appearance starts to change. You, for instance, have been the most beautiful of the people around you your entire life, correct?"
"Yes. Yes I have."
"Your eyes were turquoise, your skin was a beautiful porcelain shade, and your looks and body were flawless. Last night your eyes started to change, into a gold color, that's what you noticed this morning. Did you also notice that your skin hardened slightly?"
"No, but now that you mention it, yes."
"Okay. We have to leave now, my sister tells me that the sun is coming, so we have to get out of public." Edward was pulling Percy into a standing position.
"What? No, I'm not going with you. I still don't really know who you guys are. I'm here with my friends. I'm not leaving!" Percy was trying not to raise her voice to grab attention to herself and Edward, but he seemed to not be listening to her.
"You have to come with me. You can come back tonight. Tell your friends you had to leave early, they'll understand. We really have to go. You may not understand at this moment, but you will shortly. Come on Percy." Edward was starting to beg now.
"Fine. I'll call Dahlia and tell her I have to leave," Percy had her phone up to her ear within milliseconds. "Dahl, hi, I have to leave early…I don't know why really but tell Bryan I'll see him tonight okay? I'll meet him at the restaurant…Thanks girl, bye."
"Hi Percy, it's so great to finally meet you. We've all missed you so much. I'm Alice." Percy hadn't noticed the short pixie like girl that joined her and Edward on their rush to the car.
"Hi. I'm still really confused Edward. Can't you just stop and explain." Percy asked anxiously.
"No, we can't. The sun will be here momentarily and we can't risk getting caught in it." Alice had answered instead of Edward. Percy was suddenly pushed into the backseat of an expensive looking car, more confused than ever.
"Look at your hands Percy, this is why you can't be seen in public when the sun is out." Edward pointed to Percy's hands that sparkled like diamonds in the ray of sunlight that came through the partially open window of the car.
"What the…why are my hands sparkling?" The sight shocked Percy.
"This is what happens in the sun light. Which is why we live in Alaska, we can be out in the sun and no one will see us. We make sure no one's around." Alice answered bouncily.
"Can you take me home then? Neither of my parents are home." Percy asked, really wanting to get away from these people for like five minutes.
"Sure. We'll give you our cell phone numbers if anything starts to happen to you that you don't understand. Like wanting to kill your parents." Alice answered.
"Yeah, like I don't get that feeling almost everyday of my life." Percy laughed, but knew exactly what Alice meant.
"Here. Call us with anything you need. We'll come back tomorrow to explain more to you." Alice handed Percy a small sheet of paper with two numbers on it and open the door quickly for her to get out.
"Thanks guys. I'll see you tomorrow I guess?" Percy walked into her house without a glance behind her and bolted up the stairs and into her room.
