Chapter 17

I have never been this confused in my life. The dark haired sob story looked up to me, a sad look painted on her face.

"Oh Hope, I'm so glad I found you, and I missed you so much, oh hope!" she started to sob again, and the bronze haired leach reached out to comfort her.

"You cannot be my mother," I shook my head disagreeing, "There's no way you could be…I…" Jacob had told me my mother was a good friend of his, and she couldn't take care of me. She really could be my mother. If only I could remember what Jacob said my mother's name was.

"Well I can see that everyone is a little bit confused at the moment, so why don't we finish up this conversation when the guests leave, huh?" hunter spoke into the uncomfortable silence.

I decided that there was really only one way to truly find out if she was my mom.

"What's my name?" I turned to the woman, "My full name." she smiled, lighting up all the darkest corners of the world.

"Hope Annalisa Marie Cullen-Black." She pronounced flawlessly. I nodded my head still in shock, and she gave me a huge hug nearly pushing me over in the process.

"Wait so this is my cousin?" hunter spoke up again.

"Hey she seems pretty cool champ," the big burley leach stood up. I better not keep calling them leaches if that's my mom's friends. The bronze hair flashed a confused look. Then he whispered to the one next to him clear as day, "I can't read her mind." They both looked confused.

"Read my mind?" okay, this was becoming way too much. They all glared at the bronze haired one. I should get his name, bronze-haired one isn't the best too use. Suddenly something I had wanted to know for a long time formed into a question, and popped out of my mouth.

"So…err…who's my biological father?" they all looked to her.

"Edward." The girl answered flatly.

"Edward?" I raised my eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

"Edward Cullen, the man standing next to me." Well, this was interesting. Wait, why would this be interesting, this is bad, terribly bad. I'm half vampire! Shit!
