Chapter 58
Haley hissed as she ignored all her families' warnings to calm herself.
Tom chuckled and shook his head. "Ah Haley you'll always be that pathetic little human."
Haley's eyes widened. "What?" she said as she stood out of her crouch.
"You were always going to be a vampire like it or not. It was your destiny to become a vampire. It was your destiny to have those powers. And when I heard that your family was dying I saw to my chance." He growled. "But if your brother wasn't dying that day then you would have stayed with him and I would have thought of another plan. Do you remember when your "friends" abandoned you when they found out that your mother, father and brother were dying of Spanish Influenza?" he smiled. "They were working for me the whole time. They were vampires and you didn't notice that they were so different from you. They were working as my spies. I told them to abandon you like you were some sort of plague. They never cared about you."
"What?!" Haley screeched. "That was you that whole time."
He nodded. "Yes it's true. I told them to make you feel lonely. They did a great job of that as well." He chuckled. "Once I did their work I kindly repaid them back by destroying them. Don't you see? They were never your friends. You never had any friends. Do you remember why you never got sick from the disease that was spreading? Well thanks to Rebecca's power you never got sick. Her power was to prevent a person to never get sick and that's why you never caught it. It was Renee's fault that everyone was dying from the disease. She is the opposite of Rebecca's power. She can make people sick."
Haley shook her head in disgust. "You're sick."
Edward growled. "He thought of this plan from the moment he first saw you."
"When…. When was that?" Haley asked.
"When I saw you and your brother get born." Tom replied.
Edward and Haley gasped together in surprise.
Haley looked to Edward with wide eyes.
"His our uncle." Edward whispered.
Haley gasped.
"Adoptive uncle." Tom corrected.
Carlisle let go off Haley. "I don't believe it."
Tom smiled. "It's true."
"No way!" Rosalie said.
Haley turned to Blake and said. "Did you know about this?"
He shook his head. "No he never told me anything about this."
"I don't believe this." Haley said. "This makes Blake related to us. Our cousin and Rosalie our great-aunt or so to speak."
Edward nodded.
'Don't think of me like that Haley.' Rosalie thought as she turned slightly. 'I'm just your adopted sister. That's all.'
Tom continued. "I was only a newborn when I saw the birth. Your parents didn't know that I was a vampire of course. They wanted me in the emergency room with them. I had to plug my nose when I smelt the blood. But when I saw you and your brother." He stopped to sneer at Edward. "That first time my nose filled with your wonderful scents I knew that you were both special. Haley's lavender and Edward honeysuckle scent. But I paid special attention to you Haley when I got to hold you that first time my plan was in place in that same second. I knew that somehow you were both destined to become one of us. I didn't want to hurt you so I decided to hide away and faked my own death. I met Lucy years later when she was human and got her pregnant with you Blake. I saved her life by turning her into one of us when you ripped your way out of her. My plan was growing then. When Blake was old enough he was one of the first to be experimented on and turned into a proper vampire."
Blake shuddered at the memory.
'I never want to relive that moment ever again.' Haley heard him thinking.
"I found Jay, Tim and Jake and I also turned them. Their job was to gather humans. I brought in others to help me along the way." He smiled.
"You're a monster." Haley whispered.
Tom grinned. "I know. I was happy when the girls told me what your fear was. When I heard that your mother and father were dead and that your brother was following and I saw to my chance. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to have my hands on you. And of course you know the rest of the story."
Will and Edward growled.
"Who do you think you are?!" Will said. "You did all this to Haley and Edward. You're crazy."
Tom shrugged. "I didn't change Edward so I didn't hurt him. Only Haley. It was Carlisle who changed Edward and why. Because he couldn't bear to see him die. He was weak."
"He was changed because I asked him to change him." Haley said.
Tom shrugged. "Weak."
Edward snarled. "You hurt me through Haley every time you hurt her. I felt her pain as if it was my own."
'Edward calm down.' Haley thought.
Tom chuckled.
Haley moved a little closer to Tom.
'Haley don't.' Edward thought.
Haley turned to look at Edward.
He shook his head.
'Why?'
'Because it could be a trap.' Will said.
'Will can you hear us?'
Will nodded. 'I'm psychic remember. I can hear people's thoughts if I consecrate hard enough. I can just hear your thoughts.'
"Will's right Haley don't fight him by yourself." Edward said.
Haley sighed and moved back to Carlisle.
"Your brother is being very protective of you isn't he." Tom said laughing.
Blake, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Will and Riley slide into a crouch.
Alexis jumped into Samantha's arms and stared at Tom.
"How do we destroy him?" Haley asked.
"I can always torture him." Alexis said smiling as she wiggled her fingers.
Sparks was flying out from her fingertips as she wiggled them.
Carlisle shook his head. "No we'll think of something else."
"What do we do then?" Emma asked.
While her family were thinking of a plan Haley saw at the corner of her eye Tom sliding into a crouch.
Haley growled and also slid into a crouch.
Tom smiled. "Go on attack the person that created you. Destroy me!"
Haley snarled.
Before she could do anything Carlisle placed his hand on her shoulder again to stop her.
Haley turned to look at him.
Carlisle shook his head. "Don't do it Haley."
Tom laughed.
Haley turned back to Tom and snarled. "What's so funny?"
"He can't let you go to fight me. It's so pathetic. His holding you back."
Haley growled. "No he isn't. Carlisle is like a father to me. His helped me through hard times since I was turned."
Tom only shrugged.
Haley turned to look at Edward.
She pleaded with her eyes.
Edward shook his head. 'No.'
She frowned. 'I can't wait any longer Edward. My patience is wearing thin.'
Edward sighed. 'Do you think you'll need help?'
'No but I'll call if I do. Tell Carlisle.'
Edward sighed. "Carlisle Haley wants to fight Tom."
Carlisle nodded and let go of Haley. "I guess we won't be able to talk you out of it. We'll help you if you need it."
Haley nodded and turned to Tom and slid back into her crouch. "Let's fight Tom."
Tom chuckled. "Very well."
