Chapter 11

Mai

Carlisle called an emergency meeting, involving the werewolves and Imprints. I was actually sitting beside Marigold right now, who was in a sour mood because Carlisle had woken her up.

"I have an announcement," he said.

"Well, duh," Marigold and Emmett said together. Emmett paused, and laughed hysterically. Marigold continued to grouch but smiled, too.

"Emmett, this involves you."

Emmett's eyes went wide.

"Esme, I'm sorry! I know you loved that vase, but it wasn't my fault!" Emmett wailed. Edward cleared his throat. Esme's eyes went wide. The rest of us laughed, including Goldie.

"Em, that's not what we're here to talk about," Edward said. "This involves your family."

"Um, what about us?" Jasper asked.

"Not us, but Emmett's human family. To be more specific, your little sister," Carlisle explained. He waited for Emmett's breathing to slow down. Jazz took care of that faster.

"What about her?" Emmett asked territorially.

"We found your great neice. Both of them, in fact."

"Whoa, really? I'm a great uncle?"

"Yes, you are," Edward smiled. Rosalie squealed and almost started to dance.

"Where does she live? Who is she?" Emmett asked, not giving Edward nor Carlisle time to explain.

"Mrrrmm!" Emmett's lips were suddenly clamped shut. Edward smiled at Marigold.

"Thank you, Mari," he said.

"It's not for you. His yelling is making my head pound and the babies kick."

Jazz snickered. He stopped when Marigold glared at him.

"To answer your first question, she lives here in Forks. She works in that teenage-and-up club in Seattle. And as for the second, ask the wolves. They know her."

Jacob, Seth, Embry, and Collin's eyes went wide. Marigold and I exchanged a look.

"Who?!" Emmett demanded, turning on Jacob.

"Her name is Kris, that's all we know!"

"She's Brady's Imprint," Seth added.

Emmett couldn't handle this. I didn't have to be Jazz to feel the emotional breakdown he was having. He fell to his knees and covered his eyes. Rosalie knelt down beside him and patted his back soothingly.

"Does she know what happened to me?" he asked. I was surprised that he wasn't concerned over the Imprint issue.

"Yes, but she thinks nothing of it," Carlisle said. "I took a look at her records this morning. Her father is in jail charged with rape and domestic violence, her mother is dead from the domestic violence, and her grandmother- your sister- is ill and in the hospital in New York. All she has is her older sister. Edward told me she thinks that her family is unlucky."

Emmett looked ashamed.

"I shouldn't have gone on that hunting trip," he murmured slowly.

"No, don't say that, Em," Rose soothed him. "Otherwise you never would have had us."

"No, Rose. If I hadn't gone on that hunting trip, Kristen, my sister, wouldn't have been all alone. I would be as old as she was, sitting in the hospital room by her side. She really isn't my little sister; we're twins. I was born before midnight. She was born after. We are a day apart, technically speaking."

"And if I hadn't gone to Vera's, I would be married to Royce King or dead at his hand!" Rosalie yelled, exasperated.

I sighed. We're getting nowhere fast.

"Ahem," I coughed, getting everyone's attention in a heartbeat. "I believe Emmett should be allowed to see his great neices."

Emmett's eyes went wide.

"I don't think I could do that. What if I let it slip who I am?"

"I never said anything about her meeting you. We can go to Seattle. Go to that club she works at. You can look at her then."

Emmett's eyes brightened. Seth cleared his throat.

"I think we should bring Brady, too."

I nodded. Brady would want to be there. Collin told me he's been going wolf around Kris. She didn't suspect a thing.

"Great, I just need to pick an outfit!" Alice trilled, rushing upstairs.

"Hmm..." Erin, Renesmee, and Marigold hummed together.

"What?" I asked them.

"That reminds us," Erin began.

"We forgot to introduce you to a little tradition," Renesmee finished.

Marigold grinned, and suddenly there were clothes, makeup, and accessories flying into the room.

AN: I'm sorry this isn't very long! I'll update soon!
