"You don't talk to us for a few years shy of half a century and now you think we're going to welcome you with open arms?" Emmett had changed more than I thought. We were in one of the special 'reservation only' rooms that the head of the shelter gave us. Emmett was standing in one corner of the room by the vanity and we were on the other, by the door.
"It's not like I've been lazing around doing nothing Emmett, I have two boys to raise and a job to attend to." I defended myself. Dimitri wasn't sure if he should say something or let me work things out so he just stood at my side, ready to intervene if necessary.
"You could have taken time off and you know it, you could have just walked up to Aro and told him you were taking the boys on vacation to see us. But you didn't, you left us to suffer our losses on our own." Emmett started growling under his breath and I knew he wasn't just mad because Rosalie left him, he really was mad at me.
"I had my own loss to suffer from Emmett; you know that. Your brother and sister did the taking." I didn't stand down, Emmett was still a brother to me but that didn't make him any less of a threat to me and Dimitri. Emmett stood still as a statue, trying to reason with himself by the looks of it. He loosened up and took in a breath.
"Fine, when night falls I'll take you to the others, but don't be surprised if they don't give you a warm welcome." Emmett stormed past us and went back into the main room of the shelter. Dimitri and I stayed in our special little room and just mulled the day over.
"What are you going to do if they don't know where Edward and the girls are?" Dimitri asked, he didn't want to track them and fail again, I knew that. I also know that he wants to make up for missing them so many times. I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"I'll take their guess and if we still can't find them then we'll just have to find a lot of trackers." I looked over to Dimitri, not sure what he was thinking about the situation. "Would you be okay with that?" Dimitri nodded and smiled a little.
"I'll be fine; if I have help we can corner them or at least surround them." Dimitri paced for the rest of the day without stopping. Considering it was vampire nature to stay completely still most of the time I was surprised at his desire to keep moving. The day ticked by and finally night rolled around. Dimitri and I left the room to see that Emmett was already waiting for us outside the shelter.
"Keep up" Was all he said before he darted off, barely giving us any time to track his movements. We caught up to him and we ran on his flanks until he stopped outside a small, but expensive, shack. Emmett walked straight in without a word and we assumed he didn't mind us doing the same. Upon entering the shack we found both the remainder of the Cullen coven and the Denali coven sitting together, just sitting, nothing more. There was a small TV, some chairs, a coffee table and that was it. It was minimal even by vampire standards. Not only could I see everyone watching me but I could feel their eyes burning into my skin.
"Hi" I mumbled. Carlisle and Esme looked very conflicted at my being here, they missed me, but they were just as upset as Emmett was for my leaving them on their own.
"Hi" Jasper whispered from a dark corner of the room. I could see the faintest dash of a smile swipe across his stone features. I smiled a small smile back and the ice broke. Esme came up to me and gave me a hesitant, silent hug. There was minor chit chat and hellos all through the room until Emmett spoke up from his place beside his brother.
"So what do you want us for?" Emmett was still stone faced, still angry with me. The room went silent as the grave again and all eyes turned back to me.
"I need your help" I dropped my hands to my sides and tried to plead to them with my eyes.
"You leave us for 50 years and the first thing you want when you see us again is our help?" Emmett was standing now, his expression fiery and filled with rage. "Forget it" He sat back down in the dark corner with Jasper. Esme gave him a look before turning back to me.
"What do you need our help for?" Esme had regained her warm motherly air and she made me feel comfortable to ask them for what I needed.
"We need to find Edward, Alice and Rosalie. We were hoping you would know where they are since we're having such bad luck finding them ourselves." I dropped my head ever so slightly, trying to pray to whatever was up there for a positive answer. There wasn't a single breath drawn from when I spoke until Carlisle spoke 20 minutes later.
"We know where they are." I looked to Dimitri, a spark of hope brightening my face. "But we aren't going to tell you where they are" My face fell. We were so close to finding them, and if we found them, I was secretly hoping they would have Alec with them; and that I could get him back.
"Carlisle we need to find them. They have been turning people, possibly a lot of people. Aro wants us to see what they're up to." I was so close to getting down onto my knees and begging.
"We won't tell you, but we can assist in the mission" I sighed. Dimitri nudged my arm, nodding to Carlisle when I turned to face him; take the offer, he was telling me. I turned back to Carlisle to find his hand outstretched. I took his hand in mine slowly and shook his hand.
"Deal"
