BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH

CHAPTER TWO.

Carlisle POV

The earth quacked beneath us it was quite unexpected even our youngest daughter the seer did not predict this. She now had a face that was shell shocked not seeing this happen but then again, her visions have been strange these past 3 months. She saw Edwards mate finally. I have never seen him so happy to know his imprint was coming. It took Emmet and Jasper to hold him down from running to phoenix and taking her. 100 years was a long time to be without a mate.

After Alice, had explained he won't find her there till a about a week that she is said to arrive it hardly placated him. Instead he counted every last second to her arrival. Apparently, she was adopted Rene ran away from Charlie our chief of police and gave birth to Bella in Romania though now her name has changed to Kristen. Charlie only found out 14 years later she's 15 now and had been adopted by the Corvinus family. Yes, the elusive powerful mafia family the Corvinus, even in the vampire world they made their mark apparently, they have been here well over 1000 years.

Though no one has seen them both vampire and human they have peaked even the Voltari's interest when they hit the Mafia scene they sent vampires after them all came back empty handed. Charlie couldn't believe he tried to get her back but she had threatened to hate him for as long as she lived if he took her away from her family and besides he couldn't afford to go to court yes he might win but they could drag the court case for two years and he didn't have enough money instead the family agreed that a portion of their family would move into the Corvinus estate that was in forks for near 100 years and that he could move in with them. He would be guardian of not only Kess (her new nickname) but also four other teenagers apparently the remaining five males are not really responsible. They told him not to worry and all will be provided for. He spent a week with them and said "they not bad kids just got a bad surname." So, he agreed.

They apparently were to arrive this evening, some last business in Phoenix. Edward was in a tiff he wanted to go there but the estate was fort NOx cameras motion sensors dogs even guards. It wasn't worth the risk. We would see her tomorrow at the mayors' flea market festival Alice said it would be hot but no sun would come out so I planned on tacking the late shift at work which doctor Dudley agreed saying it gave him and excuse not to go shopping with the wife saying "That women is like a hurricane no one will survive" well I just smiled and nodded. He hasn't seen Alice a "pixie tornado tsunami that's what she is" Emmet bellowed after one of the shopping trips.

"I think the wolves will be there I just went blank halfway through the day, but so far I see B- I mean Kess will be there with what m assuming is her family". She then explained she briefly saw her laughing at something with two other girls. Edward wanted more information "What time will she be there?" he asked impatiently "Edward" Esme admonished him. He looked down at his feet. Alice giggled at him "Round about noon? Maybe earlier". Never had I seen such happiness and anticipation on my son's face. We were all excited to meet the new member of our family even Rosalie, even she learnt of the children they were to add to our family. Twins one boy one girl. The females were excited by this already planning the rooms. So, we waited till morning though Edward probably glimpsed this thought from my mind if his grunt of agreement wasn't enough. It was the longest 11 hours of my immortal life
