So I'm a little discouraged about this story cuz I get no more reviews it makes me sad ): but here's the next chapter

Dahlia looked to her mother and then to Marcus, meeting his eyes. He gave her a reassuring smile and she sat back down. Her mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath, one that unnerved her. Everyone at the table had become dead silent and none of them moved, it was almost like they were statues.

"Dahlia," she meet her mother's eyes again and prepared herself for the worst. "I can make things grow because I'm a nymph, do you know what that is?" She shrugged.

"Like pixies?" She sighed and she her head and behind Dahlia Marcus clenched his fists, it was short but it was enough for someone at the table to notice.

"No. Nymphs protect the balance of nature, by maintaining it. That's why we have the powers that we have. That's what I am, and that's what you are." Dahlia was stunned, she'd always felt a connection to the nature around her but she never knew why and then when her powers surfaced it only made it stronger. It made sense, it was weird but it made sense.

"So you're saying I'm some magical protector of…Earth?" She smiled.

"Something like that." Then her smile faded. "And about your father," Dahlia's eyes widened at the mention of her father, who was he and why wasn't her here? She hesitated for a moment until the man that was sitting next to her placed a comforting hand on her arm. "Dahlia, your father is dead." Even though she'd never seen him or met him she felt a part of her heart shatter. She could barely bring herself to ask the next question.

"What….what happened to him?" Her mother dropped her head and her shoulders rocked with her sobs. Suddenly she wasn't sure she wanted to know, but she had to. Again, the man behind her tried his best to comfort her and she looked up again, this time her eyes were bloodshot.

"I…I killed him," she was shocked. Her mother killed her father. How could she do that? Before she could ask Carlisle spoke.

"It isn't that simple Dahlia. She didn't purposefully harm your father." She had turned to look at Carlisle, now she looked back at her mother who was crying again.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Your father was human, and our kind cannot have physical relationships with humans. It's something in our system that is toxic to them." That's impossible, she thought.

"So when you…" her mother nodded not needing to hear the rest of her question. "But that doesn't make sense, Marcus is human and we…." She broke off forgetting that she was about to explain her sex life to her mother. Azalea understood that and didn't push the issue but someone else did.

"Wait, did you say he was human?" Edward. Dahlia looked over at him as if noticing him for the first time, she probably was. Azalea looked up from her hands and turned to Edward

"Yes, Marcus is human." Edward met Azalea's eyes and Azalea looked past Dahlia to Marcus who had started eating again.

"Well maybe it's because you're half human." She tried to smile but it came off more as a grimace. Dahlia considered this, if something bad was going to happen to Marcus it would have happened already right?

"Dalia, I want you to know that the only reason I gave you up was to protect you. I couldn't have raised you being full human, I would have killed you." She paused to take a breath. "But I want you to know that I never stopped thinking about you. And I have always loved you." She smiled.

"All this time…I thought there was something wrong with me. I'm glad I found you, mom." She pulled her daughter in for a tight embrace and Dahlia welcomed her mother's touch. It was a beautiful moment, one that she'd dreamed of having for years, but unfortunately someone had to end it.

"Azalea." Edward again. "I hate to interrupt but I was wondering if I could speak to you in private. Everyone at the table wanted to question him but they kept quiet. She nodded and stood up.

"Sure Edward." She smiled down at her. "I'll be right back." Before they left Edward, very clear and distinctly met Marcus' eyes. Azalea followed Edward not only out of the dining but out of the house and well into the forest beyond it. Eventually Azalea stopped to address him.

"Edward what are we doing way out here?" He stopped and turned around to face her.

"Marcus is lying." Azalea was still confused as to why he had to take her way out here to tell her that.

"Lying about what?"

"He is not human. When I try to read his mind I get the same thing that I get from you." She considered this.

"Wait, can you read Dahlia's mind?" He shook his head.

"Her head is clearer definitely but I still get that foggyness. And when she mentioned pixies I saw his fists clench up, it upset him. He's a nymph I know it." Azalea shook her head.

"That doesn't make any sense, my kind can sense each other and I don't feel anything coming from Marcus. I would have felt It the minute it got close to the house." He shrugged.

"Well maybe he's blocking it somehow." Blocking it? She'd never heard of someone having the ability to do that but anything was possible, however she still wasn't convinced.

"I don't know Edward, that's kind of a long shot." Then they heard a twig snap. They turned around at the same time. Someone had followed them into the forest. Marcus, then she felt it. That unmistakable pull that she rarely felt but can never forget. It was true.

"So, you figured it out." It wasn't a question and it was directed at Edward.

"Wasn't hard." He nodded slightly then looked at her. she was speechless. Why would he lie, not only to her but Dahlia?

"I guess I have some explaining to do."

Ok so I just thought of an awesome twist that will really surprise you and some of you might not like it but hey maybe that will get me some reviews ^_^
