Chapter 4
Real Family and Remebrance
She took Emily to the train station and rode across the country to a house with a beautiful garden in the front yard, in from the or the porch. They walked up the steps to the front door.
Emily was nervous, "What if they doin't remember me?"
"A father never forgets her daughter.
She knocked on the door and a woman who seemed to be Yuna's mother opened the door, "Hello?"
Emily looked at her, shyly, "Um, I..." she paused and caught her breath. "Hi. I came all this way to see my birth parents."
The woman's eyes softened, "Emily?"
"Yes?"
"What happened? How'd you get here? The church... the church took you away." She touched Emily's face, "You look so pale."
Emily looked at her birth mother, "A lot had changed..."
Victoria stood there and let them have their moment. Emily's birth mother spoke, What do you mean?"
Emily told her mother everything.
Her mother led her inside and had her sit on the couch, "That sounds horrible... I'm so sorry..."
Yuna walked downstairs and saw Emily. They were twins; "Mother, who's this?"
Yuna asked and Emily continued talking to her birth mother, "Don't worry, I don't drink human blood mom, but why did you send me away?"
Her mother turned her attention to Yuma, for a brief moment, "This is your twin sister Emily." She answered her question, "I didn't... the church took you away from us."
Emily was confused and asked, "...but why did the church take me away from you, Mom?"
"I don't know why... it's almost like they had plans for you -like they knew where you were headed your future."
Yuna sat down near her mother and Emily, then her birth father entered the room, "Emily..." He walked over and sat in front of her, "Where have you been? Where did they take you? They didn't give me any answers."
Her mother looked over at Emily, "He knows more than me."
Emily spoke, "Well, I was adopted by this vampire family. They turned me into a vampire and turned me when I was the age of seven. I wear contacts... Now I'm sixteen years old. All I know is when I was a baby I was adopted."
Her father gave her answers, to her question of who she was, "I only know they wanted you to meet the Cullen's and Bella Swan, after you were adopted by a certain group of people who wanted a baby sister. They said they wanted you to fight against the... what was it called? V...?" He thought for a moment, trying to remember, "Voltage? No..."
Emily knew what he was talking about, "Volturi?"
"Yes, that's it."
Yuna looked up at them, "Why not me though?"
~•~ 16 years ago before she was going to be adopted~•~
The church took her from her father and he screamed, "No! Where are you taking her!?"
The church leader replied calmly, "She will do great things in the future."
He threw down a sheet of paper that had a drawing and looked to be drawn by Alice. Her mother didn't understand, "What kind of things?"
The church leader spoke of Emily's future, "She will reunite with her cousin Bella Swan. A girl named Alice spoke of it."
Her mother had never heard of that name before, "Who's Bella Swan?"
Her husband spoke, "My brother's daughter."
~•~ 16 years later back with her family ~•~
Her birth father spoke, "They wanted nothing to do with you, Yuna."
Emily's twin protested. "...but why? What makes Emily so special?"
Her mother recalled a factoid of their birth, "Well, she was born, first..."
Emily continued talking about her life, "That's when I met Alice Cullen in the woods, when I was drinking blood from the deer."
Her father looked at Yuna, "You're younger than her by a few hours."
Emily looked at everyone, "So, all of you guys are human, or what?"
Her father recalled the memory, "Alice... she drew the drawing when you were at the church, didn't she?"
Her mother answered Emily's question, "Yes, we are all human."
Emily disagreed with what her father was saying, "No, she didn't she only had one vision."
