This is where you find out about Dahlia (: *screams* i'm excited
Talking about the darkest time of my life was never something that I had planned on doing ever again, especially in a room full of vampires, but I didn't leave myself much of a choice for anything else once the tears started coming. I wasn't full on crying but it was noticeable enough that Edward stopped growling at me and had wandered back over to Belle who clinging to him, which I guessed was for two reason. One was because she was as distraught as he was and the other on was to keep him from trying to pounce one Jacob again. Somehow telling them that I had a daughter had directed the conversation from Renesmee to me. Esme came over and rested an arm on my shoulder.
"Will you tell us what happened?" Damn, they'd figured out my weakness, for some reason I harbored a soft spot for the maternal vampire, I knew I wouldn't be able to deny Esme anything she asked of me. I left out a loud breath and nodded before I spoke.
"Sure but you might want to sit down for this, it's a long complicated story." They did as I said and I took my seat next to Esme. I didn't really know where to start but it wasn't like there wasn't a moment where my life started to fall apart. "I lived in New Orleans with my parents and some other nymphs, sometimes we stay together but most times we move out on our own when we get old enough, kind of like going to college. I was working in this run down flower shop, even though I didn't really have to, I liked feeling like I could take care of myself, like I could do something for myself. And that's where I met, Ian. He came in one day that I was working and he walked around the store and then he saw me and he stopped. He stared at me and I stared back, it should have creeped me out but it didn't. It was like he was looking through and not just at me, we didn't speak, we just stayed that way for I don't know how long. Then, without warning, he just ran out of the store. I thought for sure that I had scared him even though he had stared at me first, once he left I felt like a part of my being had been ripped away from my body, but I didn't follow him. And the next day he came back, he came in and didn't acknowledge me at all until he came up to the counter to buy a single red rose. He came up to the counter and flashed a dazzling smile, almost knocking me on my feet; I smiled back never looking away from his eyes as I rang him up. Then he just left again and I felt empty again. We continued that way for six months, never talking, but whenever he came in and looked at me we would have this connection, and I knew I loved him." I took a breath and continued. "One day and he came into the shop we actually had a conversation; he bought one red rose as usual and stared at me the whole time before he spoke to me. He said that his name was Ian and he asked me what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, I didn't know what to say exactly so I gave a generic answer, I said I wanted to be happy. And he said I I'd like to be a part of that and I said a part of what, and he said making you happy. He asked me on a date and of course I said yes." I looked around before I continued but it was like I was talking to a bunch of statues. "We went on so many dates that eventually I lost track, but whenever he came into the shop it was the same routine plus he would always ask to see me again and of course I would say yes. After we had been dating for a few months I told my father, he was furious and he forbade me to see Ian again but I knew I couldn't stay away from him. The next day was the last time Ian came into the shop, he bought his last rose and asked if I would come with him tonight so that he could show me something, I said yes. We went to his house, he was an artist so he lived in a studio, it was perfect for one person, for him. I showed me to where he creates his art and told me to close my eyes. He lead me into a room and I smelled roses immediately, when he told me I could open my eyes I saw that he had created a huge heart made entirely out of the roses he had bought from my shop, some of them were dead and darker which gave it more depth but the newer ones were strategically placed so that from afar it looked all the same color. It was stunning and he had done it all for me. Then he turned to me and asked me again what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I gave him the same answer. Then he got down on one knee and said that he really wanted to be a part of making me happy. I was stunned but I knew that I loved him so I didn't waste any time saying yes." This was where the story got a little sketchy. "I stayed with him that night," I saw Emmet leaned forward and smile slightly so I elaborated, "and yes we had sex." He nodded and then sat back becoming a statue once again. "But what I didn't know was that nymphs can't have physical relations with humans, there's something in our system that isn't good for them. So when I woke up the next morning, Ian was gone. I didn't know what to do, I called the police and they said that it was death from natural causes. They asked if I was his wife and I didn't know what to tell them, I said I was his fiancée that he had proposed to me the night before. But since I was his wife I didn't have a legal right to anything and I had never met his parents but I was sure they knew about me because he had spoken to them about me on one of our dates. I decided that I would be best for me to disappear so I went back home and told my father what happened, he was so upset that I had disobeyed him and he said he told me so, which he did. I didn't disobey him again until a few weeks later when I found out I was pregnant with Ian's baby. When I told my father he was furious, he told me how stupid I was, how he was so disappointed," I turned to Edward, "basically everything you said to Renesmee and then some. I listened to it all and it hurt me to my soul to think that I couldn't count on my own father but when we he told me that he wanted to kill my baby before it was even born, I snapped. I told him off and left, I moved to Florida. That's where I had Dahlia, when she was born she was so beautiful and healthy but she was full human, so I knew that I couldn't keep her or I would end up killing her, like I did her father. So I put her up for adoption and within a few days she wasn't mine anymore." I felt a stray tear fall but I didn't wipe it away. "I stayed in Florida until a few months ago when I decided to move here." I looked up and around me to see if they were still listening to my story that was now, thankfully, over. It was Alice who spoke.
"How old is she?" I didn't even have to think about the answer before I spoke.
"She'll be ten this spring." Everyone was silent again so I took this opportunity to voice the point of this whole story. "Edward, Renesmee needs you to be there for her and if you're not, trust me, you will lose her."
So you know what i would like for my birthday that's in five days? (: Some reviews!
