Chapter 10: The Truth Comes Out
Ally's POV
We were currently all gathered at Tyler's parent's house telling them about what happened. They had a very difficult time excepting what happened even though Caroline and I both confirmed that he was alive. I could tell that they wouldn't believe us until they saw Tyler for themselves.
"He is alive. We saw him" I said. "I don't think so sweetie. I think you just saw someone who looked like him and you just miss him so much that you believe it's him. I'm afraid to believe you, because if you're wrong I'll be so devastated" Diane said. "Besides the changes you are describing is impossible. Cold and pale skin? Gold eyes? no person can change that much" Charles added."Mom, dad it's true. He said it himself that he's Tyler" Caroline said. "I'm sorry girls, but it's just not possible. There's no way that Tyler can be alive" Aidan added.
I just sighed in defeat as I started eating the ice cream that Diane gave me. She had a stock of ice cream stores just for me here since I've had a really strong sugar craving throughout my pregnancy.
Suddenly the doorbell rang. "I'll get it" Caroline said as she carried the painting she had just finished framing. A second later I heard the painting shatter.
Silence. I got up to see what was going on over there. "Caroline, who was...?" I started to ask before I spotted... two Tylers? Two Tylers! What the hell is going on here! These two were identical to the very core. Each of them an exact copy of my Tyler. In my shock the ice cream bowl slipped from my hands and met the same fate as Caroline's painting.
"What is going on here?" Charles asked as everyone joined us. They all froze as well as they stared at the two Tylers in front of us.
After a minute Caroline said "This is really freaky. Which one of you is the real Tyler?" That's exactly what I wanted to know and freaky doesn't even begin to cover it.
They both stared at each other as if they had just realized something important.
"I'm Tyler" the one on the left said. I wasn't sure if I should believe him or not and everyone else looked the same way. Them he revealed his tattoo of Michael's name.
"Tyler! It is you!" nearly everyone shouted. "I couldn't believe it when Caroline and Ally told us what happened earlier. But, it's really you!" Diane shouted. "Good to have you back son!" Charles shouted. "I missed you. You were like my brother!" Aidan added.
Then Aidan asked the question that was no doubt on everyone's mind. "Can you please explain your clone here? Did you have a twin that we didn't know about?" "No Aidan" he said. "Who is he? Why are you two identical to the very core?" I asked. "This is Edward Cullen, a very good friend of mine. I don't know why we look so much alike" he said. I didn't believe him. I had the feeling I was missing something big. "It's nice meeting you all. Tyler talks about you constantly" Edward said. "Why didn't you come back Tyler?" Charles asked. "I was in a coma. I just came out not to long ago. Edward's father is my doctor. I'm under strict orders to stay with him for now" Tyler said.
"Why are both of you're eyes gold? Why are your skins so pale? I mean you two don't have a single difference besides that tattoo Tyler. Everything is way to strange" Diane asked. "I'm afraid that we can't answer that" Edward answered for me.
"Why not? I think we all need answers. I mean you guys could he twins or clones for christ sakes! Why did you change so much physically Tyler?" Aidan asked.
"I'm afraid that we cannot say anything" Tyler said which just made everyone look way more suspicious of him.
"Well it's good to have you back Tyler. Even if you are keeping secrets" Diane said.
"Tyler are you going to stay?" asked Caroline. "I'm sorry. I have to go back" he said. "You will come back though, right?" I asked. I couldn't bear to lose him again. "Yes, I will come back" he said.
"We love you Tyler, and we are just happy that you are alive" Charles said. "Thanks dad" Tyler said. He went and hugged him. "Wow! You're freezing" he said. I guess now they'll believe me about his physical differences. "Yeah, I know" he said. "It's nice to meet you to Edward" Charles said. "Thanks Mr. Hawkins" Edward said. "Call me Charles. Any friend of Tyler's is a friend of mine" Charles said. "I look forward to getting to know you better. All of you" Edward said to everyone.
The doorbell rang again and it was Charles that went to answer this time. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Jacob and this is Seth and Leah. We are looking for Tyler Hawkins and Edward Cullen. Are they here?" Jacob asked. "Yes they are. Come in" Charles said. Damn that boy called Jacob is so...wow" words can't even describe his physique. Hot doesn't even begin to cover it. If I wasn't so in love with Tyler I'd try to date this guy.
They came into the living room where we all were. Except Aidan who was in the kitchen now.
Their eyes scanned everyone in the living room. Once Seth's eyes met Caroline's he stopped. He kneeled down as he kept eye contact with her. He reminded me of a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. Nobody said anything. Edward, Jacob and Leah froze. They must know what's going on. What was that? Everyone looked confused.
"Why did it suddenly go quiet in here?" Aidan asked when he came back. Everyone's eyes snapped to him. When Leah made eye contact with him, she kneeled down in front if him too. Just like Seth with Caroline. She also had a glowing look like Seth had.
Aidan was speechless for once in his life as he looked at the glowing woman who only had eyes for him.
The silence was finally broken a few awkward moments later."We came to tell you that Carlisle is looking for the both of you and he's not happy at all" Jacob said.
"We better go" Tyler said. "So soon?" Everyone said. "Yes, but I'll be back" Tyler said.
We all followed them to the hallway where we were met with a blonde man who could only be Carlisle, and he looked furious.
"Both of you are coming home this instant!" Carlisle shouted. "Who are you?" I asked just to be sure. I was scared of the way he seemed so upset.
Carlisle's face softened up a little "I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Sorry to have intruded but I've been looking for these two" he said and sent a glare towards them.
Everyone had appeared in the hallway by now. "Excuse me but I'm not understanding something. Did they do something wrong?" Diane asked. "Yes" he answered giving no
further explanation. "We need to go now. That goes for Jacob, Leah, and Seth as well" he said and then they left
"Does anyone else feel like they are missing something huge?" I asked. "Yes" everyone said at the same time. "What are we going to do?" I asked. "I think we should follow them. Maybe we'll find out what they're hiding" Caroline said. "I think she has a good idea" Aidan said. "I agree. I want to find out more about them" Diane said. "I'd like to know why those two look exactly alike" Charles added. "Me too" I said. "It's settled. We'll follow them" I said.
Once we all got into the car we went down the road they had gone. We spotted them but they didn't even hear us. Carlisle was screaming at them too loudly for any of them to hear us.
"What the hell were you two idiots thinking?! Do you not realize what you've done?!" Carlisle roared. "I just wanted to visit my family and Edward chose to come along" Tyler explained. "Tyler I forbade you from seeing them! Or did you forget?! I'm sure you didn't because of your perfect memory! And Edward, what the hell were you thinking by joining him?! Didn't you two realize the consequences of your actions?! Surely you two aren't stupid enough to realize that you both can pass as identical twins! Don't you think that just might make your family just a little suspicious Tyler?! How is it that you both didn't realize that?! Honestly I'm amazed at your sheer stupidity" he shouted.
I had to agree with him there. If you're going to keep a secret why would you do something that would most definitely cause suspicion?
He continued to shout at them the entire way to their house. Only to be met with more screaming. After sometime everyone finally calmed down.
It wasn't hard to spy on them because for some reason their entire house was made of glass.
What are we going to do now? Thanks to this pair of idiots our secret won't be safe. They'll figure out that we are vampires" some girl short pixie like girl said. Did she just say vampires? We all looked at each with growing confusion.
"No, they won't. We'll just have to move again" Carlisle said. It sounded like they all believed they were vampires. We all stared at each other not moving nor speaking.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Leah and Seth imprinted on Aidan and Caroline" Jacob said.
Caroline and Aidan looked scared at this piece of information. Probably because we didn't know what imprinting was. Can they stop confusing the hell out of us!
"What's imprinting?" Tyler asked. "It's how we find are soul mates. It's how we find the person we are meant to be with. The first time we make eye contact with our imprints it's like gravity moves, suddenly it's not the earth holding you anymore, your imprint does and only he or she matters anymore. When we make eye contact for the first time we kneel in front of them" he explained.
"We have soul..." Aidan and Caroline almost shouted. I quickly covered her mouth and Charles quickly covered Aidan's. "Do you two want us to get caught" I stated. "Sorry" they whispered.
"You imprinted on my sister!" Tyler suddenly screamed.'scaring the hell out of us as he lunged at Seth.
Several things happened at once. Suddenly Jacob, Leah, and Seth exploded into giant wolves. While several others held them back.
We slowly turned towards each other. We didn't know what was real or what to believe anymore. It seemed like reality had turned upside down for us.
Without thinking we ran to the door and opened it. Everyone froze in their fighting positions.
"Hhow longg have youu been here?" Tyler stuttered out as he slowly released one of the wolves he had captive. "We followed you here" I responded slowly.
Carlisle eyes widened in complete shock. "How? We should have been able to hear you" he said clearly shocked. "You were screaming so much and so loud that there was no way you'd be able to here anything coming at you" Diane said. "How much did you hear?" he asked. "Everything" Charles said."Is it true that you're vampires?" Caroline asked.
"We need to talk" Carlisle said.
A/N: I think this is my longest chapter so far. It took awhile to write. Writing is distressing for me. Which I really needed thanks to my teacher. I never thought a teacher could be so mean and rude when you ask them a question about a paper you have to write. Writing this and watching Remember Me helped me feel so much calmer now.
Anyways please review
