I'm back! I've been reading a lot of fanfiction and realised how much I missed writing. Reading all of my old reviews asking me to come back gave me the extra push. Enjoy!

Jasper's POV

I could sense that Lilliana was a little apprehensive about telling her story. Just as she was about to begin, I felt a huge wave of anger and fear flood in from outside.

"Don't say a word to them Lilliana!" spoke a male voice that Lilliana recognized.

"Jose." I heard her whisper. Everyone stood up and suddenly we were throne against the wall.

"What the heck is going on?" said Emmett. Lilliana ran to the door and in a flash she was gone.

"We have to go after her!" yelled Rosalie," She could have been kidnapped!"

Carlisle led the way and my siblings called out her name. Bella and Esme stayed behind with Nessie. I caught the scent of Lilliana and another unknown vampire. Their scent led us to a clearing I the forest.

I looked up and saw a young vampire who looked physically about 17. He was facing us, crouched, ready for a fight. Lilliana's head looked up as she clung to the guy's back. She climbed down from his back and with a scared look, glanced between us.

"Um, everyone…this is my Jose…my brother." Announced Lilliana.

Emmett's POV

So this was Lilliana's brother. The one who had abandoned her. I immediately felt angry for what this guy must've put her through.

"Lilliana, there's no need to introduce me to your kidnappers." Said Jose as he stood up from his crouch but stepped in front of Lilliana.

"But Jose, they didn't kidnap. I ran into them and they've been nothing but nice to me," explained Lilliana.

"Yeah. That's more than what you can say," I said, "after you abandoned her and all."

"I didn't abandoned her," growled Jose, "I left to keep her safe."

"Safe from what exactly?" asked Carlisle.

"That is none of your business," growled Jose. No one talks to my dad like that. "Now let's go." Jose went to grab Lilliana's hand but she pulled away.

"No! I don't want to go back. Especially if you're going to leave again." Lilliana huffed. I smirked at her rebellion against her brother.

Jose crouched down to her level.

"I wasn't going to be gone forever." said Jose softly.

"It feels like you've been gone forever," sniffled Lilliana. "Why can't I go with you?"

"Because it's too dangerous."

"I think this conversation should be taken indoors." interrupted Alice. I was about to ask why when a the clouds began to shift with the sound of thunder.

Rosalie's POV

We eventually led Lilliana and her brother back to the house. Jose didn't seem all to happy, but it was going to rain soon and I knew he didn't want Lilliana to get sick. I looked back as we ran and saw Lilliana clinging on to her brother's back. She had a small smile on her lips, but her eyes showed a hint of sadness.

When we arrived Lilliana slid off Jose's back and ran into the house. Jose dashed in right after her. Esme was serving spaghetti to Jacob and Renessme. Jacob kept glancing at Jose. Meanwhile Jose's eyes kept darting to everyone, watching our every move. I scoffed. Did he really believe my family would hurt Lilliana?

Jose and Lilliana sat on the couch. He looked up at Carlisle.

"Thank you for watching over my little sister." spoke Jose.

"Of course. She's a delight to the family." smiled Carlisle. A delight indeed. She was a ball of energy, a porcelain doll that I would take care of for the rest of my life. She was a child in need of a mother.

"Jose. Where are your parent's?" I asked.

"It's irrelevant."

"Is that who you left Lilliana with?"

"No. I left her with some friends. She was supposed to behave and stay with them 'till I got back." Jose eyed Lilliana.

"I wanted to help. But I lost your scent at the first river I got to, and I've kind been roaming for a while." admitted Lilliana.

"Is there anything that we could do to possibly help?" offered Carlisle.

"No." said Jose.

"We're looking for someone." blurted out Lilliana.

"For who?" asked Emmett.

"An old friend of ours. He's been missing for a while. But that's all I can say." said Jose.

"Brother." whined Lilliana.

"That's all Lilliana." Jose seemed to have won because Lilliana pouted and crossed her arms.

There was silence, until Jose's stomach grumbled.

"Jose...what are you guys?" I asked the question that seemed to be on everyone's mind. We saw that he and Lilliana were vampires, but they also needed food to survive it seemed.

"Are you guys hybrids?" Renessme walked into the room.

Jose said nothing. Lilliana nudged him in the ribs.

"I guess you can say that." he admitted.

"Why was that so hard for you to tell us Lilliana?" I asked her.

"Because it's complicated." spoke Jose. "Yes we're vampires and we do eat human food, but...it gets more personal after that."

A flash of lighting hit our yard followed by thunder and it cause Lilliana to jump into her brother's lap.

Jasper's POV

As I watched Jose comfort Lilliana because of the storm, for a split second I saw myself as him. Except I saw me with Karla. She didn't like the sound of thunder either.

My heart broke. I could feel Edward's eyes on me as I mentioned Karla. I couldn't take it. I walked out of the room. Alice followed me.

Edward's POV

Jasper was in pain. He missed Karla, and it was understandable. Esmé offered Jose and Lilliana some spaghetti.

I turned to Jose. Just like Lilliana and Bella, I couldn't read his mind. He admitted to being a hybrid like Nessie, but left us with yet another mystery. What was the complicated part? Then I remembered something.

"Jose, was it you who had thrown us against the wall earlier?" I asked.

"Yes." So he had a gift.

"Is your power telekinesis?" asked Bella.

"Not exactly." he dug into the spaghetti, clearly very hungry.

"Is that where it get's complicated?" I sighed. He nodded, mouth full of spaghetti. Lilliana played with one of her meatballs and Jose scolded her.

"Jose, since you're obviously not going to tell us a lot about yourself, why don't we get to the important part. You are busy and Lilliana needs to be watched. As you can see we are more than capable of watching over her." said Rosalie.

Jose stopped chewing, thinking about what Rosalie had said. He swallowed then turned to Lilliana.

"Do you really want to stay with this coven?" he asked.

"I wanna go with you. But I'd rather stay here with the Cullens if I can't go with you." smiled Lilliana. her eyes became big and I knew he was going to cave. Jose sighed.

"No." he finally said. I was shocked. There was absolutely no reason, at least none that I could find, that Lilliana would not be able to stay with us. "Don't make that face Lilliana. Are you willing to put this coven at risk?" This kid really needed to stop using that word. We were more than a coven, we were a family.

"No one is in danger here." said Carlisle. Jose growled but it didn't faze Carlisle.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Rosalie lost her patience. "I've had enough of you disrespecting my father. Look kid , my father Carlisle and my family are growing tired of this mystery game you're playing."

"I don't even know any of you." responded Jose.

"Well my name is Rosalie Hale Cullen. My husband Emmett Cullen found your younger sister in the forest starving. My mother Esme Cullen fed her. My siblings Bella, Edward, Alice, and Jasper, have been nothing but nice to her. And my father Carlisle has been very patient with you, even though you seem to have none. " Rosalie pointed to each of us as she spoke our name. Except of course Alice and Jasper.

Lilliana yawned.

"Why don't you stay for a bit while Lilliana takes a nap. You can take that time to think about it some more?" suggested Esme.

Esme's POV

I led Jose and Lilliana to Rosalie's and Emmett room. I figured Jose might be tired as well. Rosalie and Emmett's bed was bigger than mine for reasons and I'd rather not know. I opened the door and they followed me in. Lilliana immediately jumped on the bed and cuddled with a pillow.

Rosalie walked in with extra blankets and place them on the bed. She smiled at Lilliana. Jose sat on the bed and looked at Rosalie with a look of familiarity. Rosalie walked out of the room but not before giving Lilliana a kiss on the forehead. I found myself smiling. Lilliana looked like my daughter and I could already see them creating a bond.

"Thank you." Jose interrupted my thoughts. He was looking at Lilliana in such a loving manner. He grabbed one of the blankets and tucked her in.

"You're welcome." I walked out of the room and headed downstairs.

"Nighty night Jose." I heard Lilliana mumble.

"Nighty night, Lilliana." Jose said softly. "I love you."
