Chapter 17. Surprise after surprise.

Elaina's POV

I was still confused about what had just happened but I didn't care. I smiled and waved to Karen. "Um hey Elle, I have a friend here." She said and turned around slowly and motioned for someone to come forward.

I saw him. Standing not 30 feet in front of me was a tall lean man with long dark hair. And his eyes were bright red. I could feel me heart pick up as my head sweat. Demetri. Karen ran to me and put her hands on either side of my face and Taylor looked like he had no clue what was happening.

"Elaina he is a friend. A friend Elaina." She said trying to calm me. My breathing picked up. "Volturi. Gianna." I kept saying over and over. I was now staring at Karen's face and into her warm eyes.

"Please Elaina. Please, stop freaking out." I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. Karen said her husband was a good man, but he was the Volturi. I tried to forget about them and just focus on Karen and how she must still love him.

I nodded my head and Karen stood back. By this time everyone was in the small kitchen. Karen looked at them and smiled. "Everyone you must remember Demetri. Well he is my husband and as off today he is no longer apart of the Volturi."

Everyone seemed confused but didn't question it anymore. This was only the morning of my even more weird and confusing day.

*Taylor's POV

"Karen, I asked you to do one thing. And that was not to bring a Volturi guard back." I said to her. Elaina just about had a panic attack, She kept thinking of the Volturi and Gianna and she was freaking out.

"I know I'm sorry Taylor, but things happen." She said looking guilty. Elaina looked from Karen to me to back to Karen. "What's going on guys? What are you hiding?" She asked confused. I sighed and said. "Elle, I have a surprise for you. I found your parents." Elaina looked at me for a spit second before running to me and hugging me tight.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She exclaimed. "Don't thank me. Karen went and found where they live." She turned to Karen and did the same. "It was all Demetri." She said laughing.

Elaina turned toward Demetri. "Hello Demetri. Um, thanks." She said looking at the floor. "You are very welcome." He said in a polite voice. As I read Demetri's mind I could tell he loves Karen very much, but does not like Elaina. He see's her as a fragile human girl her stole his wife. As much as I wanted to, I could not get mad at him. I too know how it feels to have someone take away all of your love's attention.

Elaina was very excited about her parents. She couldn't wait to see them. "When do we get to leave?" She asked excitedly. Esme spoke up by saying, "You have school." Elaina sighed. "But mom come on!" She said. Did she just call me her mom? Oh I'm so happy! Esme thought.

Elaina looked at Esme. "Oh I'm sorry. I-I" Esme cut her off. "It's quite alright." She said smiling. "Okay Elaina if it's okay with Jenny, I guess you can go." Esme said and Elle ran to her and gave her a big huge. Alice jumped up and down. "She is going to say yes!!" Alice screamed and next thing I know all the girls in the house start jumping up and down and are screaming and because of all the happiness Jasper was holding on to Emmett just so he wouldn't do the same.

It looked like it was going to be a good day. We would go to Canada and see Elaina's parents, and then we would all be happy and I would change Elaina before her 18th birthday. But as we all soon found out, the future isn't always so clear.

*Elaina's POV

"Attention passengers. We will be landing in St. Paul Canada in 5 minutes. Please sit down and fasten your seat belts. Thank you." The flight attendant said through the microphone. I quickly did as she said in excitement. I was so close yet so far away from my parents.

"Excited much? You got Jasper about to jump out of his seat." Taylor said laughing lightly. I looked at Jasper and sure enough he was shaking just as much as I was. "Sorry Jasper." I said quietly knowing he could hear me. I saw him nod his head once.

Taylor can you believe it?!?! I haven't seen my parents in so many years. I thought to Taylor. He took my hand and kissed it. I'm very happy for you Elle. I smiled at him. Finally then plane landed I just about ran out.

The whole Cullen family plus Karen and Demetri came with us. I was still on edge about Demetri. But he came in handy, since he was now closer he was able to track exactly where mom and dad were at.

So with the address, we got in a cab and went to my parents. Excitement rushed through me more than it ever had. I was holding Taylor's hand very tight, but since his hand was like a rock, I was only hurting my own hand. The cab stopped, along with the four others behind us with the rest of family, we all got out.

My eyes grew wide and I turned back to the cab driver. "This must be the wrong place." I said frantically. "This is it ma'am." He said. I turned to Demetri and he nodded his head. "They are here. I'm sure they are just visiting some one." He said. I nodded my head. "Yeah, yeah, your right. They must be." I said. "Well let's go." I said as I walked through the entrance of St. Paul Cemetery.
