My father was more handsome then my brothers. His features screamed leader. His black hair flowed down to his shoulders and he had strands of his hair pulled behind his head. No wrinkles appeared on his face. His russet skin color was flawless. I stood completely still; admiring my father. Kan Lee smiled at me, noticing the change in my skin color and hair. I looked down, worried that I didn't have any clothes on, but noticed that a leather strapless top appeared on me, as did a buffalo skin skirt that fell to the middle of my thighs. The top I wore was a light brown. The skirt was a mixture between black and brown.
My father's eyes were filled with love and longing. I smiled as a tear fell from his face. Oh father, I'm home, I thought. Kan Lee walked over and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He faced the village and our people.
"My people of Kanuwat. It is my great joy and pleasure to announce the return of Kalina. Daughter of Eu Von Le and Shishahley. Sister of Kan Lee, Kun Woe, Lu Von Le, Ko Ki, Shisho, Kan Loo, Kin Sho and Kanso." My brother said to the people that had suddenly gathered to see me. I blushed. Eu Von Le, my father, took a step towards me.
A tear fell from his face. "Kalina?" His voice broke my sanity and I went running into my father's arms. My father picked me up and spun me around, holding me tightly to him. He smoothed my hair down.
"Oh, father." I cried out sobs into his chest.
"What is going on arou- Oh my word." I turned and there was a beautiful woman standing to my father's side. Her long black hair flowed in wavy curls down to her chest. Her facial features were that of an angel. Surprisingly, I had her lips. A tear fell from her face. I knew who this woman was.
"Shishahley, Mom!" I released my father and wrapped my arms around my mother's neck. My mother held her arms tight around my waist. I leaned back to look into her eyes.
"Kalina, is it really you?" She asked, her eyes watery.
"Yes, mother, it is me. I've returned," I started to cry even harder, "The night that you gave me to Billy I was so afraid that those vampires had killed my mother. But you're here, and I am just so happy to see that all of my family is alive!" I buried my face in her hair and she squeezed me tighter to her chest. We were the exact same height. I felt my father's arms wrap around me from behind. I pulled away from my mother and wrapped my arms around the both of them. My brothers just stood there in shock.
"Well, what are you waiting for brothers? Come give your little sister a hug!" I smiled through my tears. All of my brothers ran to me and wrapped their arms around mother and father and me, creating a massive family hug.
After the tears seemed to stop we all pulled away from each other's hold. I grabbed my mother's hand and squeezed it tight. She gave me a loving look. I looked back to the trees. Leaning against a tree, there stood Jake with his arms crossed. He smiled at me when he noticed that I was looking at him.
I looked back at my mother. "Shishahley, I have somebody I want you to meet." Her smile faltered, but it didn't go away. I pulled on my mother's hand and pointed to Jacob. She released my hand.
"Billy, is that you?" she asked in a whisper, but I knew that Jacob could hear her. Jake stepped out of the trees and quickly walked over to me and stood by my side.
"No, Shishahley. I am Billy's son, Jacob Black." A long moment passed, and my mother stepped to Jacob and wrapped her arms around him in a welcoming hug. I smiled. I turned to my father and brothers.
"Father, this is Jacob and he is my boyfriend." Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, proving the point. At first, my father looked a little upset, but then his smile widened. He walked over to me and Jake reached out his hand and shook my father's hand firmly.
I felt so glad that I had saved my Jacob. Without him, I don't think I would have been able to survive much longer. If it wasn't for him, I would have been dead right now. I thanked Jacob in my mind for doing that. I thought about that leech that had planned on killing me. I remembered what she had said before she tried to attack me. 'She's ordered me to kill you.' I had a very good guess on who the hell this 'she' was. I felt Jacob's arms squeeze tighter around my waist.
"Bella, are you okay? You're shaking. What's wrong?" Jake asked in a concerned voice. My top lip pulled back in a low snarl. Kan Lee stepped out and cupped my face with both of his hands; closing his eyes. His breathing slowed and I watched as his face went from calm to pain and then to anger. When he opened his eyes, they were black as night. I reached out and touched his face.
"Kan, what's wrong? What did you see?" I asked him worried.
"That redhead vampire. She's close, and she wants to kill you." He said in flat voice.
My heart fell.
