I woke with a shudder, my dream had been a little freaky yet I couldn't remember what had happened. I tried and tried with no luck, oh well. I then remembered the day before and sighed, I was definitely going back to the care home now. Who would want me? I was still fully dressed in my favourite outfit and decided to go and have a shower.
I was about to get up when Esme walked in, I prepared myself for the worst but instead she gave me a hug. I was shocked but so grateful she was the best adoptive mum in the world and from that point onwards I knew this was my family and that they would care and love me even if I struggled to do the same.
"I love you Morganna and I would never send you back, I hope you understand that. We do not hate you for what happened yesterday we all fully understand" Esme whispered
"I love you to Esme, but do you think my mum would mind me having a new mum?"
"No, I think she would be happy that you have found a new family" Esme said "do you want a shower and to get changed then you can come down for breakfast"
I nodded slowly and made my way to the beautiful en-suit bathroom. I smiled at my new mum and she smiled back with so much love it hurt. While I had my shower I thought of how kind they had been and started to feel really guilty, by the time my shower was over I had decided to be as nice as possible to the Cullen's especially Esme. I also decided to ask Emmet to hang up my punch bag because I was really behind on my training.
I threw on a pair of black leggings and a long sleeved 'Ivy Champions League' t-shirt which I won surprise, surprise. I put my hair in a quick pony tail then studied myself in the mirror. It was time they saw the more boyish side of me! Downstairs I could smell croissants my beyond favourite thing, I wondered how they knew but decided I didn't care.
They had an amazing kitchen the kind of kitchen you see on TV adverts, with the big middle thing and all that. The whole family was sat there and I felt slightly nervous but them really calm, which was a bit weird but oh well. I sat down next to Esme and ate my breakfast waiting for someone to speak.
"You have a rather long name don't you, why is that?" Carlisle asked
"Last time I checked I did. Cause not many people are called Morganna Mai Athenodora Jade Lancaster. I don't usually use Mai or Jade though they all have meaning I suppose. Morganna is just my first name and Mai and Jade are my grandmother's names and Athenodora is a bit more complicated. But I just want to say I am so sorry about yesterday and I swear it will never happen again." I said
"It ok your forgiven" Carlisle reassured me "and with your name I was just curious do you always go by Morganna or is they a shorter version. You also had a letter in the post today we left it for you to open"
"Thank you and because your nice you can call me Morgan" I giggled
Alice passed me a letter and I opened it, it was on heavy thick paper and in old fashioned curly writing it said:
Dear Morganna Lancaster
My name is Aro Volturi and I live in Volterra, Italy. I do not want you to be alarmed but I am what you may call a vampire and so are the people who have adopted you the Cullen's but they feed on animals. You can call them vegetarians and it requires a lot of control for them to maintain this diet and I cannot though I am still ok around human blood.
You are probably wondering why I am writing to you but you see thirteen years ago me and my wife, Sulpicia did the impossible. She gave birth to a human child and you are that human child. The name Athenodora is your aunt's name and my wife's best friend. Because of you being human we thought it may be best if we put you up for adoption and got you when you were older but I seem that our plan did not go well. As I know they abused you and hurt you and I will never forgive myself for giving you to them. If they were not already dead I would have done it myself.
I do not want to risk that again and I also do not want you to live anywhere but with me now. I think it is finally time you returned home and met your real family. They is so much to tell you but it needs to be done face to face. I think you would also be interested to know your actual name is Princess Morganna Mai Athenodora Jade Volturi.
They are plane tickets to Volterra with this letter and I would think it a good idea to bring Carlisle with you as well. If you do not come I will send someone for you. I love you Morganna and want you back where you belong.
You're Father, Aro
I stared at the letter in shock, then at each of the Cullen's, it wasn't possible they couldn't be vampires and why did Aro think he could suddenly come in my life when it gets a bit harder. I don't want to go to Volterra either I want to stay here.
"Is this some kind of joke?" I asked
"What is it Morgan?" Carlisle said
"You're a….a vampire" I said in shock
Jasper spoke for the first time "what did that letter say Morganna I need to know right now whoever sent you this is obviously trying to scare you"
I passed the letter and they all read it carefully taking in every detail before looking back at me with confused faces. I let me head drop so I didn't have to face anyone and started doing a complicated hand sequence to take my mind of everything but then Carlisle broke the deadly silence
"I think we need to go to Volterra, and we are vampires Morgan but we will not hurt you. It is like Aro said, you should be impossible but it seems not. I will go with you and the rest of the family should stay here."
"No!" they all shouted in unison
"No what?" I asked
"We are going with you we are not letting are little sis go there alone" said Emmet
I reluctantly agreed but was shocked at the new information, I was already adopted and I was the daughter of vampires. It was a hard concept to grasp but I wanted to meet Aro and Sulpicia, I wanted to know them and for them to love me. All in a second I knew that I would never have to prove myself to them and that they would accept me for who I was. So suddenly the word 'vampires' did not sound scary at all. I did love the Cullen's and was annoyed at Aro but I would be aright.
