I don't own Twilight or any of the characters, it all belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

Chapter 3

I just stood still, staring at mom.

That didn't make sense, I couldn't be their daughter and they couldn't be my parents; I didn't know who my parents were, but it couldn't be them!

I closed my eyes and started shaking my head.

"No, that doesn't make sense, they couldn't be my parents and I couldn't be their daughter. Besides, why would they believe someone who claimed to be their kid's kidnapper?" I said, looking at them and then back at mom.

She looked over to them.

"Ask them." was all she said.

I sighed and sat down next to her, facing the people claiming to be my parents.

After a minute of us staring at each other, I spoke up.

"I don't think that I'm your daughter, it doesn't make sense, and why would you believe a person who claims to be your daughter's kidnapper?" I asked, questioningly.

Edward looked over to Isabella, then looked back to me and answered.

"We didn't believe them at first, but we decided to look into it. You looked like us, but we still couldn't be sure you were our daughter. So we had the principal at your school get a blood sample, so we could check your DNA, we had it checked, and you are our daughter." they both watched me as he finished talking.

I was frozen in shock. I was their daughter? They were my parents? After all these years I had finally found them, but I had accepted years ago that they wouldn't come back. I had thought they were the ones who left me on the porch for one reason or another, but it didn't even cross my mind that I might have been kidnapped when I was a baby.

But I didn't want to be a princess. I would get pretty much anything I wanted, and not have to do any work at all; but I liked doing my work, I loved it the way things were. I didn't want to have to dress nice all the time and be followed by the paparazzi; I didn't want people asking me personal questions and making up rumors about me. I wanted everything to stay the way it was, playing with Tim, Mark, Carson, and Jade, helping mom cook food, helping clean up the house at night, hanging out with Sam. Everything.

"Cassidy? Are you okay?" mom's worried voice broke me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see Edward and Isabella kneeling in front of me and mom next to me grabbing my shoulders.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm going to go upstairs to Carson and Sam." I answered.

I stood up and was about to start walking out when someone spoke.

"Who's Sam and Carson?"

It was Edward that had spoken, and when I looked back at them I saw that he had his eyes narrowed and he was a little tense.

My forehead furrowed in confusion.

"Carson is my brother and Sam is my best friend." I said, answering his question.

"Your best friend is a boy?" This time it was Isabella that had spoken, she looked surprised.

If I hadn't just been told that I was kidnapped as a baby and my parents were the King and Queen, I would have laughed, but instead I just shook my head and said.

"No, Sam is a girl, her real name is Samantha, but everyone calls her Sam."

Edward relaxed and Isabella nodded in understanding.

I turned back and walked to the door, but before I walked out, mom spoke.

"I'm going to call Peter and tell him to come back from Jack's, then I'll tell him what happened. While I do that you should pack your bags." I looked at her in shock. Pack my bags? Where was I going?

I must have looked confused because she spoke again, answering my question.

"You're going to go with King Edward and Queen Isabella back to the palace." She looked upset that I was going to leave, but happy I was going to be with my real parents.

But I didn't want to go with them, I didn't even know them, I just wanted to stay here and forget this ever happened, or wake up and find that my day had yet to begin.

"I don't want to go with them though, I want to stay here with you, Carson, Tim, Mark, Jade and dad." I said, hoping she and they would understand that I didn't want to go, that I didn't want to be a princess; that I just wanted to stay here and keep things the way they were.

But my hopes were crashed down in four words.

"You can't, I'm sorry." Mom was biting her bottom lip with her eyes closed, looking as though she was about to cry.

A tear slipped down my face and I ran up to my room where Carson and Sam were talking, tears streaming down my face.

When I burst into my room and shut the door crying, they both ran up to me and hugged me.

"Cassidy!? What's wrong!?" Carson and Sam asked me worriedly.

They sat me down on my bed, Carson patted my back while I cried and Sam hugged me.

After about ten minutes I stopped crying enough to talk.

"You guys know how mom's talking to some people downstairs?" I said, looking at them.

They both nodded and waited for me to continue.

"Their names are King Edward and Queen Isabella."

Carson and Sam gasped, but didn't ask any questions, knowing that I would explain.

"Mom told me that thirteen years ago, their week old daughter was kidnapped and never heard from again. Two days ago they got a letter from the kidnapper saying that I was their daughter. They didn't believe it at first, even though I looked like them, so they had the principal at my school get a blood sample so they could check the DNA. They checked it, and I am their daughter."

When I finished talking tears were running down my face again, I looked over at Sam and Carson.

They were staring at me, their eyes wide in shock.

"So that's why the principal got a blood sample......" Sam finally whispered.

I nodded, and then looked down at the floor, more tears falling off my chin.

"There's more, isn't there?" Carson whispered, watching me.

I nodded again and closed my eyes.

"I have to go back to the palace with them, now, mom sent me back up to pack my bags."

I heard Sam start to cry next to me and I turned and hugged her.

There was a knock at my door and we all looked at it.

"Who is it?" Carson finally asked.

"It's Jade." came the muffled reply.

"Come in Jade." Carson said, looking to the floor, I saw some tears slip down his face.

Jade opened the door, closing it behind her. She ran over to me and hugged me, sobbing. Soon Tim and Mark ran into the room and cried with us.

After a while we broke apart and they helped me pack my things into some bags; no one talked, we just worked, wishing and hoping that this wasn't happening, and we would soon wake up.

When we finished we carried the bags downstairs and walked into the living room where mom, dad, King Edward and Queen Isabella were waiting, along with a man who looked like a bodyguard.

I put down the bags I was holding, then ran and hugged dad.

I looked up at him and saw tears in his eyes, I knew he would be strong and wouldn't shed a tear until I was gone.

"This is goodbye, but maybe we'll see each other again, then you can tell me all about being a princess." he whispered into my ear, hugging me tighter.

"I will, I'll remember every detail so that I can tell you all about it." I whispered back.

He pulled back and kissed me on the forehead, giving me one last hug before letting me go, not knowing when we'd see each other again.

I hugged Carson next, then Jade, Mark, Tim, and lastly Sam.

The guard grabbed my bags, and then after we walked out the door I turned back to the house I grew up in and the family that raised me.

"I love you all, I'll try to call every day." The tears were starting to resurface, but I blinked them back.

I waved one last time, then I started walking over to the limo.

"I'm sorry." Edward whispered as I passed him to get to the limo, I paused for a second and closed my eyes as a tear slipped down my cheek, then I continued walking.

I believe that is the longest chapter I have ever written, and it's my favorite, I felt a bit like crying when they were, that was upsetting.

Anyway, I felt bad for leaving you guys with a cliffhanger, so I decided to write the next chapter today and put it up. :)

Please review and tell me what you think! I would really like to know what you thought of this chapter!
