Chapter 50! That's 318, 519 words, that's 516 pages! That's a bloody record! I'm so proud of myself!
Anyway, it's all revealed, don't release that breath your holding though, I might reveal something else surprising… after I think of it that is.
I'm sorry for taking so long, despite it being holidays the last week has been VERY busy, like the busiest I've ever been over holidays in my entire life, it's been ridiculous, and I go back to school on monday which is a pain.
Anyway, enjoy. The chapters should start speeding up soon, I'm leading into breaking dawn again now.
The twins flew across the ocean until they finally saw land on the horizon. Cat beamed
"Earth! Solid Earth!" she cheered and sped off towards it.
"Cat, slow down" Sophie called
"No way!" Cat laughed, Sophie sighed and rolled her eyes before racing off after Cat. Cat dived into the earth before giggling and lying in the dirt of the small forest they'd come up to. Sophie landed next to her with her hands on her hips
"Really? You're gonna cause an earthquake" Sophie lectured
"Only a small one, and then the boys should know where we are" Cat smiled "Well you're not just a little over excited are you" Sophie sighed.
"A week Sophie. That's how long it's been since I felt the earth. It's great to be able to feel my way around again" Cat grinned, Sophie shook her head
"Can we just go before they catch up?" she asked
"I don't think they're gonna follow us this far" Cat shrugged sitting up
"We haven't gone that far" Sophie thought, Cat sighed and stood up, waving her hand so all the dirt come off of her clothes.
"Fine" she agreed. "We're currently in Chile, it shouldn't take us to long to reach Forks"
"I can't wait to see Embry again" Sophie sighed
"Now that excitement, is even bigger then this one" Cat beamed "Race you?" she offered
"There's not much of a point when we know you're gonna win" Sophie admitted
"Fine, fly fast" Cat sighed
"Don't need to tell me twice" Sophie finally smiled and flew into the air, she looked back down at Cat "Come on" Cat grinned as Sophie shot off, she flew into the air following her.
"What should we do when we get back?" she wondered
"What do you mean?" Sophie asked confused
"Well, do we just go home, or do we find the pack first, or do we go straight to Emily's house, or do we see our parents first or…" Cat rambled
"Alright, I see your point" Sophie sighed "I hadn't thought about that. What do people usually do after they've gotten kidnapped?"
"Well, usually they fight for their life and wait for someone to find them. We're not exactly going to do that" Cat confessed, Sophie rolled her eyes
"I know but…"
"We could do something to announce our return" Cat grinned
"Like what?" Sophie asked, her eyes narrowed
"I don't know"
"We're not causing havoc" Sophie said sternly
"I didn't say that"
"You were thinking it"
"No I wasn't" Cat mumbled "Not huge havoc" she shrugged. Sophie pinched the bridge of her nose before shaking her head and concentrating on where they were going. They flew back over the ocean before, cutting the corner from Chile to Mexico.
"Can we stop for tacos, now that I think about it, I'm starving!" Cat noticed
"Love to, only we don't money on us, we were both at home when they kidnapped us remember, our things were all in our rooms" Sophie reminded her
"Except our phones" Cat sighed "Typical"
"Come on, if we hurry up home, then we can eat when we get there"
"Well that settles that question, we're going to Emily's for a feast" Cat beamed, Sophie thought
"Shouldn't our parents know we're back first?" she wondered
"Well… wont they ask how we got away and how we got here? I mean we know about them but they don't know about us yet right?" Cat asked
"Well, we could tell them it's not like they wont be completely surprised" Sophie suggested
"That'll be an interesting conversation" Cat mumbled
"Come on, did you really think we could keep this a secret forever?" Sophie wondered
"I sort of hoped" Cat shrugged "I mean, home was the time I felt like a normal person, you know, before the boys" she smirked, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Well, if we tell them then we no longer need to hide" Sophie offered
"I never minded"
"Yes you did", Cat sighed, but thought it over.
"What if they start telling us to stop using our gifts?" she asked
"I doubt they'd do that" Sophie said confidently, Cat bit her lip
"Fine, but in that case, we're definitely going to see Emily first" Cat decided, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Fine" she agreed as they flew over the boarder between Mexico and the United States. They flew over the grand canyon and Cat stopped
"Come on Cat?" Sophie ushered
"Have you noticed that we've never been to the grand canyon?" Cat asked
"Yeah, well we can go later, remember we've been missing for a whole week, do you have any idea how worried the boys probably are?" Sophie reminded her, Cat sighed
"Yeah I do, it just crossed my mind" Cat shrugged before they continued "I can't wait to see Jake!" she cheered, her happiness caused the clouds ahead of them to break apart and let the sun in.
"You're affecting the weather" Sophie warned
"Who cares" Cat smiled. Sophie smiled too before the wind gathered behind her and pushed her forwards. Cat laughed "Good luck trying to beat me" she zoomed off past Sophie, but Sophie wouldn't be left behind.
"Who said I was trying to beat you?" Sophie asked
"You didn't, I guessed"
"You guessed wrong" Sophie smirked
"Yeah right" Cat disagreed. They zoomed over Los Vegas, past Reno, past Boise and were soon in Portland. They took a stop as they looked over towards Seattle.
"Great, it's raining" Cat complained
"Well, how's this for announcing our presence. We lighten up the day?" Sophie offered
"Really? You'd dispel the rain?" Cat asked surprised
"It's drizzle, it's not the same" Sophie shrugged, Cat beamed and hugged Sophie
"Thanks"
"No problem" Sophie said pulling her sister off of her "Just don't smother me"
"Sorry" Cat laughed. "Now come on, we're only a few minutes away" she beamed, the twins took each others hands and zoomed off towards Forks, as they did the clouds began to break away.
"Jacob, get your head out of the clouds!" Sam barked, Jacob jumped as Sam snapped him out of his thoughts. He's mind had once again been on Cat. They were currently running patrol.
"Sorry Sam" Jacob apologised, Sam sighed
"Jake, go home, I'll run your shift" Sam decided, Jacob was about to argue when Sam growled at him. Jacob didn't argue and he phased out before going for a walk.
"Poor guy" Seth whimpered
"Embry too" Quil agreed.
"Speaking of clouds" Paul thought as he looked up, everyone saw through his mind that the clouds were dissipating quite quickly. They all looked up as they clouds disappeared like steam in a manner of seconds.
"Have you ever seen clouds do that?" Seth wondered, everyone shook their heads
"Come on you lot, back to work" Sam ordered.
"But, Sam," Quil began "This only happened when ever Cat and Sophie stopped the rain…" Quil remembered. Everyone stopped running and paused immediately
"You're saying the twins are doing this?" Seth asked hopefully
"Dunno, but Cat explained it to me once, if both she and Sophie agree on changing the weather, they can do, and clouds don't just disappear they get blown away" Quil remembered, replaying the memory in his head.
"But for that to happen they'd have to be near by?" Seth wondered, Paul let out a barking laugh
"No way could anyone keep them caught forever" he grinned
"Do we tell Jake and Embry?" Seth questioned
"No" Sam and Quil said together
"Just incase we're wrong" Sam added. Seth whined but nodded, understanding that. They continued their patrolling, keeping out an extra eye for the twins, just incase.
The twins reached the boarder of Forks, the sun was shinning bright and warm by now and the twins were flying at full speed as Cat dragged Sophie along with her until they crossed into LaPush. They dropped down through the trees and into the forest before touching the ground. Cat beamed and felt the ground with her fingers
"Oh it's good to be home!" she sighed happily. Sophie took a deep breath in, smelling the smell of the salt water not far off
"Agreed" she nodded. Cat smiled at her before the smile disappeared
"What?" Sophie wondered confused, she heard someone running towards them and turned to look through the trees before a grey wolf suddenly appeared, running at Cat. She let out a yell before jumping out of the way. The wolf disappeared behind a tree before coming back out as Paul, wearing his cut offs.
"Jesus Christ Paul! Don't do that!" Cat shouted, she was standing on a branch up in the trees. Paul laughed at her
"Did I scare you?" he teased
"You were charging at me!" she shouted angrily before jumping down from the tree and landed on her feet. Paul cracked up laughing at her, Cat glared at him before he yelped as she zapped him. Paul glared at her before another set of feet could be heard, this time Seth came running out on two legs.
"Cat! Sophie!" he cheered
"Hey" Cat beamed, her anger disappearing as she gave the kid a hug
"Where have you been?" Seth questioned
"It's a long story!" Sophie admitted as Seth hugged her next. Quil was next to join them
"Quil" Cat beamed and she jumped on him, giving him a hug
"Jeez, I'm glad you're alright" Quil admitted, Cat pulled back and ruffled his hair
"Come on, you know me better then that" she smirked before getting down.
"True, but we've been gone all week" Quil reminded them
"Sorry, took us a while to figure out how to get away" Cat confessed
"Say, how are the boys doing?" Sophie wondered, everyone sighed and Paul rolled his eyes
"Not very well." Seth admitted
"At first Embry was the only one who was so paranoid, Jacob seemed alright, we're not sure what it was but it was like he trusted you'd be alright" Quil began
"That only lasted three days though" Seth added
"Embry hasn't stopped worrying since the second he realised you were gone" Quil said to Sophie.
"When did you realise we were gone?" Sophie asked.
"Cat called me when she realised you were gone" Seth said
"Oh…" Cat remembered
"After that I called Jake, you aren't very good at keeping the worry from your voice" Seth added, telling Cat
"I'm great at it" Cat mumbled
"Anyway, Jake decided to go to your house and find out what was wrong, I went with him and when we arrived, the front door was black, burnt and wide open." Seth explained "We inspected the house before realising there wasn't anyone home at all."
"Then we all turned up and talked it over, there wasn't anything we could do after figuring out you were gone" Quil explained
"Not only that but we had to leave the house before your parents turned up" Seth added
"Yeah, nice job with that, covering up your scent with the fire" Paul said
"What fire?" Cat questioned
"You burnt your entire porch" Seth reminded her
"No I didn't, I didn't have time to do anything, they knocked us out with some gas" Cat admitted
"Then, how did you're front porch get burnt?" Paul questioned, the twins looked at one another
"Zach" they said in sync.
"Huh?" Quil questioned, the twins shook their heads
"Come on, I think it's time we saw everyone." Sophie decided, Cat nodded her head
"Race you all there!" she cheered before disappearing
"Cat!" Sophie called before racing off after her
"Well, they haven't changed" Paul noticed before he, Quil and Seth raced off after them. The twins reached Emily's house and they walked into the kitchen. Leah was sitting at the table, a muffin in her hand before she paused, her mouth open and the muffin half way to it as she stared at the twins completely shocked. Sophie and Cat watched her for a minute before Emily turned around and gapped at them too.
"We're back" Cat shrugged, unsure on what to say, Leah dropped her muffin and stood up, pulling Cat into a hug
"Where the hell have you been?" she accused letting her go
"Oh, just…" Cat said before Emily had her arms tightly around Cat
"Thank god" she breathed. Quil, Seth and Paul walked in behind them
"You gonna call everyone here?" Sophie wondered, as she said that a howl ripped through the silent air. "Never mind" she muttered
"Are you two alright?" Emily worried as she gave Sophie a hug
"We're fine, promise" Sophie assured her
"But what was with all the earthquakes and tornados then?" Leah questioned. The twins looked at her completely confused
"What are you talking about?" they asked in sync
"How about we explain when everyone's here?" Emily offered and she zipped into the kitchen to cook more food. The twins walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa while the four wolves sat around them.
"So, did anything interesting happen while we were gone?" Cat wondered, the four looked at one another
"Not really" Leah shrugged.
"Hey Em, what's the emergency?" Jared questioned as he walked into the house.
"It's not much of an emergency" Cat called. There was silence as Emily smiled at Jared and he walked around to look into the lounge room. Sophie smiled at him and Cat waved
"Hey" she greeted, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Isn't that just a little to casual?" she wondered, Cat shrugged
"How else do you say hi?" she asked
"Where have you two been?" Jared questioned as he leaned against the door frame
"It's a long story" Sophie repeated
"You'll have to wait for everyone else to turn up" Cat smirked
"Wow, guess being kidnapped hasn't changed your attitude" Jared sighed and moved to sit down
"Should it have done?" Cat wondered, Jared just rolled his eyes. Collin, Brady and Sam all arrived next, the two younger wolves were pleased to see the twins back, and Cat happily teased them both for worrying so much. The last two to arrive were Jacob and Embry, naturally. Everyone was very silent when they entered the house
"Hey Em" Jacob greeted shortly, Emily frowned before she let out a sigh and smiled
"So what's up?" Embry wondered
"They're in the living room waiting to tell everyone" Emily pointed, the boys nodded and walked into the room. They both stopped short when they saw the twins standing there waiting, a smile on their faces. Jacob and Embry stared at them completely stunned, Cat ran up to Jacob and was in his arms in a second, he stood there completely frozen while Sophie walked up to Embry. The two looked almost as if it was fake and someone was tricking them.
"It is us you know, we're not an illusion" Sophie smiled, assuring Embry who hadn't taken his eyes off of her. Jacob seemed to snap out of his shock and wrapped his arms around Cat, almost crushing her in the process. He ran his hand through her hair and smelled her scent, taking in every fragment of the fact that she was back in his arms, back in his reach, back with him. Embry slowly reached up to caress Sophie's cheek, she placed her hand over the top and enjoyed the warmth of his touch against her skin for the first time in a week. Embry pulled Sophie to him and pulled her lips up to his as he planted a kiss on her. There were a few groans and 'get a room's but the two ignored them. Jacob finally released Cat and she moved back as he looked at her. He placed his hand on her cheek
"Are you alright?" he questioned
"Perfectly healthy" she promised with a smile
"How'd you get here?"
"We flew"
"Where were you?" Jacob wondered, Cat sighed as Sophie and Embry broke apart. Jacob released Cat and she went to sit back down on the empty couch. Jacob followed her while Sophie and Embry stayed standing, Embry with his arms wrapped tightly around Sophie as he was never gonna let her go again.
"Well…" Cat began "They were keeping us upstairs" she answered after a few minutes
"Upstairs?" Jared questioned
"Heaven" Sophie elaborated. Everyone looked at them surprised
"So it was angels that kidnapped you?" Seth asked. Sophie and Cat looked at him confused
"How'd you know they were angels?" they chorused, everyone glared at Seth.
"Something did happen while we were gone?" Sophie questioned
"Nothing really important" Leah sighed
"Not long after you left we went and…" Quil began "Spoke to your parents…" the twins sighed
"Guess that makes sense then" Cat mumbled, resting her head on Jacob's shoulder
"You know about them?" Sam wondered
"Yep" they girls nodded
"There was this angel, and he was the one that ordered us to be kidnapped," Sophie began
"Zachariah" Jacob and Embry chorused, the girls looked at them confused
"You're parents" Jacob answered, Sophie nodded
"He was the one that kidnapped us. He's the reason I now have a 'people who need to be burned' list" Cat grumbled, her temperature rising a little.
"Anyway, after torturing Cat for a while he finally answered our questions and told us everything" Sophie explained, several growls irrupted, Jacob's being the loudest
"Don't worry, the idiot wasn't actually hurting me, I was only making him think he was" Cat assured them, patting Jacob's chest.
"What was he doing?" Leah questioned
"Well, somehow, he was able to torture us through our minds, make us feel pain that wasn't real, it was just an illusion" Cat explained
"Fortunately for us, he couldn't get through our mind shields" Sophie added
"So we pretended he was torturing us by screaming so that he didn't know we had some sort of mind ability." Cat shrugged
"If he found out about that he might have found another way to torture us, which we didn't really want." Sophie admitted
"What did they want?" Sam questioned
"Information about us" Sophie explained
"What do you mean?" Emily wondered
"About our abilities" Cat answered
"So they didn't just kidnap you to punish your parents?" Seth asked, the twins shook their heads.
"Wait!" Cat worried "Do our parents know about us?" she questioned, everyone shook their heads and Cat let out a deep breath
"But they know about us" Jacob said
"And the vampires" Embry nodded
"How?" Cat asked
"Why did you tell them?" Sophie wondered confused
"We didn't." Jacob shook his head "Dad went around to tell them so that we could find out where you might be but they already knew everything"
"Turns out they've known that the pack and the bloodsuckers have been here for years" Quil shrugged
"Must come with being angels" Cat muttered.
"Wait, how would they know about you guys and vampires, but not us?" Sophie questioned, everyone shrugged
"But we didn't tell them about you cause we didn't see it our place" Leah admitted
"Thanks" they chorused
"But we're gonna have to tell them now now" Cat sighed
"So what's this about the earthquakes and tornados?" Sophie wondered, remembering it being mentioned.
"You don't know about them?" Jacob questioned
"That's why we're asking." Cat said
"Well, not two days ago the entire state…" Embry began
"World" Emily interrupted
"… world," Embry continued "Was hit with dozens of earthquakes and tornados, we thought it might have come from you two but we didn't know how the disasters would be everywhere" Embry explained. The twins gasped and look at one another
"It does work" they chorused
"What?" everyone asked
"Well, when we broke out, we were running away from the angels that were trying to recapture us, and we got into a few brawls with them, we got a few bruises that have healed but there weren't any earthquakes or anything." Cat explained
"I guess being in heaven meant the entire world was effected" Sophie shrugged
"That's not dangerous" Cat muttered
"So you gonna tell your parents what happened?" Leah wondered
"Well if they already know about you guys and they know who took us, I guess we're gonna have to." Sophie sighed
"We're gonna need to explain how we got away from a bunch of angels and how we escaped heaven" Cat muttered "That'll be fun"
"First we're gonna need to go and see Carlisle" Sophie decided
"Why?" everyone questioned
"We think Zachariah did something to us when we were knocked out, something that allowed him to torture our minds. We need Carlisle to take a look" Sophie explained
"The dick head who kidnapped us" Cat grumbled annoyed as she stood up. Jacob took her hand and stood up too
"I'm coming with you" he declared. Cat looked at him and sighed
"Alright" everyone looked at her, surprised she'd just allowed it. "There's no point arguing" she admitted seeing all their faces. Cat took a step before they heard a car pull into the driveway.
"Em, were you expecting anyone else?" Cat wondered, Emily shook her head confused. The car stopped in front of the house and someone jumped out, shutting the door and running into the house. They appeared at the living room door
"Cat!"
"Rachel?!" Cat asked surprised, as she stared at Jacob's sister. Rachel jogged over to her and pulled her into a hug. Paul smiled the second he saw her and Jacob sighed.
"Who's that?" Sophie questioned quietly
"Jacob's older sister. She just came back from graduating college" Embry whispered in her ear
"Are you alight?" Rachel asked completely shocked
"Y-Yeah…?" Cat asked, her eyes wide with confusion on what to do. Embry leaned down to whisper very quietly into Sophie's ear
"Paul imprinted on Rachel, she knows everything" he explained
"Seriously? Paul?" Sophie asked completely stunned
"Yeah, but she knows about you two too, including where you've been" Embry muttered
"Oh" Sophie gasped understanding, she repeated it to Cat through their minds and Cat's expression showed recognition. She turned around and looked at Paul completely stunned then back at Rachel.
"Woah, now that's a match I never pictured" she muttered, causing everyone to chuckle except for Rachel and Emily who were completely confused. "I'm perfectly fine Rachel" Cat smiled "I'm a hard nut to crack" she smirked. Rachel let out a sigh of relief and hugged her again
"Thank god. Jacob's looked so dull the last few days"
"I don't blame him" Cat muttered.
"We're gonna have to go through all of this again with Kim aren't we" Sophie muttered
"Probably" Jared smiled
"And the Cullens" Cat rolled her eyes as Rachel released her "We might have been kidnapped but we're not vulnerable"
"You were kidnapped" everyone reminded them
"Yeah, but they had some sort of gas, that's cheating" Cat shrugged.
"Come on Cat, the sooner we figure out what Zach did the better" Sophie grumbled
"Like what?" Cat wondered
"Like putting some tracking devises in us" Sophie listed randomly
"He already knows were we are…" Cat reminded her
"Yeah, and he now knows he can't torture us anymore, don't you think it's important we find out how he did that?" Sophie questioned
"Fine" Cat sighed "But I hope he does find us, that way he'll turn up and I can send him to hell" Cat said angrily as she walked around Rachel and over to Sophie as Embry released her.
"I couldn't agree more but it's still important" Sophie thought "Plus we need to get this done before we see mum and dad" she muttered
"Alright" Cat nodded, she turned around
"We'll see you later" she waved to them all
"We're not leaving you again" Embry decided as Jacob stood next to him
"Even if we're going to the Cullens'?" Sophie asked, they nodded.
"Alright" Sophie agreed, she turned to Cat "We…"
"Running" Cat cut her off "I need the earth under my feet for a while before I leave it again" she mumbled before turning to leave the house. "By everyone"
"Be careful" Rachel and Emily called after them
"We will" Sophie promised. The twins walked to the Cullens' mansion at a steadily pace, Cat hand in hand with Jacob and Embry with an arm around Sophie. They reached the Cullens' in about forty minutes, enjoying each others company after so long. The twins walked into the house ahead of the boys and when they reached the Cullens' living room Cat was engulfed by Alice who jumped on her.
"Oh my god! Cat I was so worried, are you two all right?" she rambled
"Alice, calm down, we're fine" Cat assured her, Alice released her and put her hands on Sophie's cheeks
"I can't believe you've been stuck in the same clothes for an entire week!" she said outraged. Both twins rolled their eyes.
"Are you two alright?" Esme worried taking Cat's hand as the boys came in behind them
"We're fine" Cat assured her
"When did you get back?" Esme wondered
"Today, just under an hour ago" Cat answered as Alice continued to go on about Sophie and her outfits.
"Where have you been?" Rosalie asked Cat, Cat turned to Jacob who shook his head, saying they didn't know anything.
"It's a long story" Cat admitted, Rosalie glared at Jacob who's expression was no different.
"Can you explain it to us?" Carlisle asked softly
"Probably, but you might not believe it" Cat muttered as Carlisle lead her over to the sofa. Sophie placed her hand over Alice's mouth as she got annoyed at her yapping.
"Alice I've been locked in a steel metal box for seven days and I haven't been home yet. Will you calm down and get over it for ten minutes" Sophie snapped, Alice looked at her surprised for a second, everyone did before Sophie removed her hand
"Sorry. But a steel box, really? That must of been awful! How come you didn't break out?" Alice started again
"Alice, shut up and let us explain" Cat said, Alice nodded and went to sit next to Cat while Sophie rolled her eyes before she sat down on another chair, the boys stayed at the doorway.
"Okay; Sophie was kept in a steel box like cage, with almost no oxygen and no water, while I was being caged in a glass box with a really high melting temperature and it was like missile proof or something. So we couldn't get out. Every now and then a guy named Zachariah would take us each out of our cages and he'd ask us questions about ourselves, if we didn't answer he tortured us." Cat explained
"How?" Rosalie questioned
"Well, he got inside our minds somehow, we felt an illusionary pain through our heads" Sophie explained
"Like Jane" Alice muttered
"Where were they keeping you?" Carlisle asked
"Well…" the twins glanced at one another "Heaven" the vampires looked at them completely shocked
"Heaven, as in… heaven?" Emmett asked "Are you sure it wasn't just…" he began
"Considering we flew all around looking for an exit and then had to fall from the sky to get back here, no, we're sure" Cat nodded
"How were you in heaven without being dead or whatever?" Alice questioned intrigued.
"Well, turns out the things that kidnapped us were angels" Cat shrugged
"Apparently so are our parents" Sophie added. The Cullens looked at them shocked
"How'd you escape?" Jasper questioned after a moments silence
"We remembered that glass was made out of silicon and I broke out before releasing Sophie, then we ran around for ages trying to find the exit" Cat answered
"Wow, angels…" Alice muttered "Doesn't that make you two angels too?" she wondered, the twins shrugged
"We're different"
"How?" Carlisle wondered
"Angels can't control the elements" they chorused. That put the vampires into a little thinking state before Sophie interrupted
"By the way Carlisle, we were wondering if you could take a look at us, see if the angels did anything to us while we were knocked out?" she asked
"If you'd like?" Carlisle nodded
"Please" Sophie nodded. Carlisle turned around and the two twins followed the doctor into his office.
"But I don't understand why you can't get your father to do this?" Carlisle admitted
"Well he doesn't know about us yet apparently, so it's just easier if you can do it for us" Sophie explained, Carlisle nodded understanding.
"So, which one of you would like to go first?" Carlisle wondered
"I will" Cat sighed
"Alright, sit here please" Carlisle cleaned a space on his desk and Cat sat down. Carlisle started by taking a blood sample. He had the equipment to give both girls an x-ray but that was all he could do on short notice.
"Is there a day your dad doesn't work?" Carlisle wondered
"No, but we could sneak into the hospital if need be" Cat shrugged
"Plus, by tomorrow they'll probably know everything anyway" Sophie admitted
"What do you mean?" Alice wondered
"Well, Jake, Embry, Sue and Billy went around to our house while we were gone, to explain everything to them, see if they had any idea where we might be" Cat began
"Unfortunately, they didn't get the chance to explain anything" Sophie said
"Why?" Emmett wondered
"They already knew everything" Jacob stepped in
"Everything?" Esme questioned
"About the pack, about you guys" Cat confessed
"They knew that Forks was home to werewolves and vampires and they knew who they were too" Embry explained
"The only thing they didn't know, was about us" Sophie shrugged
"How?" Rosalie wondered
"They're angels, guess it comes with being that" Cat thought.
"Well, I'll get these analysed for you, but if I don't find anything we might need to do some more tests, just to make sure that whatever it was isn't in your system" Carlisle explained
"Thanks Carlisle, we really appreciate it" Sophie smiled, she turned to Cat "Come on, we should probably head home now", Cat sighed
"Do we have to?"
"We have to eventually" Sophie shrugged. Cat blew a piece of her hair from her eye
"Fine" she muttered, she waved to the Cullens and the two girls, plus the wolves, walked down the stairs towards the front door.
"So, what are we gonna say?" Cat asked
"We've done it twice already" Sophie reminded her
"Yes but this is our parents" Cat said
"Shouldn't change too much" Sophie muttered
"You kidding, it changes everything" Cat worried, bitting her lip as they walked into the trees.
"I'm sure you'll be fine" Jacob assured her, placing his arm around her shoulder
"Easy for you to say, they know about you" Cat grumbled
"You realise we're gonna have to explain how we know about them too" Sophie realised, Cat groaned
"Why?!" she complained.
"Actually, your parents know you know about us"
"What?!" the girls complained
"They guessed" Embry sighed
"Oh man…" Cat muttered "Are they trying to make our job —"
"Easier" Sophie cut her off
"Easier? How is it easier?" Cat questioned
"Because we don't need to explain half the stuff, they already know it"
"That doesn't help us in figuring out where to start" Cat reminded her
"Well, do you think we should start with us or the angels?" Sophie wondered
"Maybe yourselves?" Embry smiled
"Depends on what they ask when we get there" Cat muttered. The house came into view in the distance and Cat frowned
"We're probably making a much bigger deal out of this then we need to" Sophie decided
"I hope so" Cat sighed. They stopped at the edge of the forest. "Front door?" Cat asked
"Sounds smartest" Sophie nodded, the boys rubbed their backs encouragingly and they all walked around the house and to the front door. They slowly ascended the stairs before stopping at the door. The twins looked at one another and nodded, both taking a deep breath before Cat reached for the door knob and turned the handle, opening the door. They stood there for a second before walking inside and Jacob shut the door behind them
"Hello?" Sophie called
"Sophie?" Caren's voice sounded, they heard footsteps before Caren rounded the corner from the kitchen. She stared at her daughters in disbelief before her eyes welled up with tears and she rushed at the girls, pulling them both into a hug.
"Oh, my girls!" she cried "You're alright" the girls hugged their mother back happily
"John!" Caren called
"Yes dear?" John asked as he walked down the stairs, Caren released the girls and John looked at them amazed, Cat grinned and ran up to her father, throwing her arms around his neck. John pulled her close to him
"We're back" Cat smiled
"Welcome home" John said softly, almost like he was trying to keep his tears back.
"Where did you find them?" Caren asked the boys
"We didn't" Jacob admitted
"They found us" Embry smiled, Caren looked down at Sophie, Sophie sighed
"It's a long story. But I feel we're not the only ones with an explanation?" she asked, Caren looked at John who nodded
"Come on, we might as well sit down" Caren said taking Sophie's hand as she and John lead them to the lounge room. Everyone sat down and silence dawned
"Do we start?" Cat wondered
"I don't know…" Sophie bit her lip looking at her parents
"What do we say?" Cat asked, Jacob stood behind the seat she was in and placed his hands on her shoulders. She took a deep breath. "We heard you know about the boys" Cat began, Caren and John looked at her and nodded
"It's not difficult really" Caren smiled a small smile, but it didn't last long
"You know, I think they're just as worried as we are" Sophie noticed
"Easy for them, we already know" Cat grumbled
"But they don't know that" Sophie reminded her
"Are you two alright?" John asked, brushing Sophie's cheek, Sophie nodded
"Perfectly healthy" she smiled
"They didn't hurt you?" Caren wondered
"They tried" Cat admitted, trying to make her nerves go away by being cocky. Caren looked at her confused. The twins looked at one another and sighed
"Mum, we know" Sophie began
"About everything" Cat added
"Everything?" John wondered
"Jake told us you already know about the wolves and the vampires" Cat said
"While we were being contained however, we finally got some answers" Sophie said slowly. Caren and John looked worried
"It took a while because he didn't want to give us the satisfaction of us knowing but…" Cat muttered annoyed
"He?" John asked, already knowing the answer
"Zachariah" the twins chorused, John inhaled deeply as his face turned angry for a minute.
"Girls, we know this is a lot to take in…" Caren began
"It's not actually" Cat cut her off, Caren and John shared a look "I think the hardest part to believe was that you two were actually involved in the supernatural" Cat smiled, Sophie nodded
"We always thought you were clueless and normal" she admitted
"Always?" John wondered "I didn't believe you'd known about the wolves for that long?"
"Well, I've known since…" Cat thought "About the time the Cullens came back from their 'vacation'" she admitted "Sophie found out a while later"
"So that's, since, April? May? Which is four or five months ago" Sophie calculated
"Really? That short? Cat asked surprised, Sophie nodded
"I thought it was longer" she admitted
"Huh"
"Sweetie, that isn't long" Caren admitted
"To you guys maybe" Cat added, Caren took a deep breath
"We're sorry for not telling you" she sighed "We're sorry for keeping this a secret for so long."
"Yeah, that part you need to explain," Sophie cut her off "How long, exactly?"
"Yeah, how old am I really?" Cat asked, not sure whether she wanted to know
"Quite a few centuries" John admitted
"And we never showed signs of… I don't know, what ever it is?" Sophie questioned, they both shook their heads.
"If we'd known you'd had some sort of, ability, we wouldn't have erased your memories and tampered with your age" Caren assured them
"So over the years you just stored everything down in the bunker to us from being suspicious" Cat realised, their parents nodded.
"So, did you actually get a promotion up here?" Sophie asked John, he shook his head
"We'd been in Miami for too long, and had to move. We're sorry" he apologised
"Like the Cullens then, moving around every few years" Cat muttered
"How did you two find out about the pack and the vampires anyway?" Caren wondered, the girls looked at the boys and then away again. Cat placed a hand on one of Jacob's still resting on her shoulder.
"Well…" Cat began, Caren gasped and covered her mouth, understanding immediately
"Oh my babies" she said smiling, she pulled Sophie into a tight hug. Sophie was sort of squished against her mother
"Mum, release, please" she asked
"Oh, sorry" Caren smiled "But why didn't you tell us?"
"Right, because we knew you knew about all of this" Cat reminded her, Caren smiled but shook her head
"Alright, I'm sorry"
"I think I'm lost" John admitted
"John, they're soul mates" Caren nodded her head to the boys. John looked between the two boys for a minute
"Well, that explains a lot" he finally said, Cat rolled her eyes
"Don't be so daddish" she accused.
"When?" Caren asked, Sophie looked at Cat
"Um, Bella left with Alice to go to Italy, I went to find Jacob the day after, happened then. I found about their secret the day after that." Cat recalled
"We went to bonfire, remember and Cat dragged me with her" Sophie smiled, winking at Embry who smiled back at her.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you both" Caren smiled, giving Sophie a nicer hug as she was sitting next to her.
"Thanks?" Sophie and Cat asked a little confused.
"Why did Bella leave for Italy?" John wondered, the girls looked at him confused
"You didn't work it out?" they chorused
"Work what out?" Caren asked
"Bella's dating Edward, you know, the vampire?" Cat jogged their memory "In fact she's married to him"
"I don't think she'd marry him if she didn't know about him" Sophie admitted
"Bella knows?" Caren asked surprised, everyone nodded
"She found out before we moved here" Sophie explained
"But she didn't find out about the wolves until we were here" Cat added with a smile
"So why did she go to Italy?" Caren asked again
"To save Edward" the girls answered plainly
"He was gonna kill himself cause he thought Bella had died." Cat shrugged
"So he went —" Sophie began
"To the Volturi" Caren and John said
"Yeah…" Sophie said "You know about them?"
"It's sort of hard not to notice a giant coven of vampires" Caren said obviously
"Especially when tourists go in and never come out" John sighed shaking his head.
"Does Charlie know?" Caren asked, everyone shook their heads
"Oblivious" the twins admitted. Caren nodded and they sat in silence for a few minutes.
"I have a question" Cat began "What's this about you two being criminals? That's not real is it?" Caren and John shook their heads immediately
"We were framed." Caren sighed
"How?" Sophie wondered
"One of the angels pinned all of the evidence onto us" John said
"How?" Cat asked
"Well, it wasn't easy, it's not easy to pin such a thing onto someone such as your father" Caren admitted
"How come?" Cat wondered
"Well, it's not easy to frame an archangel for something" Caren smiled, the twins mouths dropped open
"Archangel?!" they both questioned, Caren nodded with a smile
"Michael" she nodded her head towards John who smiled at them. The twins shared a look of absolute shock, both their mouths still open. Cat's eyes zoomed around in their sockets as she tried to comprehend the new information were as Sophie was frozen. They looked at one another again
"HOLY SHIT!" they shouted, a glass vase standing on the side table behind Jacob suddenly froze over and exploded, while the flowers that fell from it burst into flames. Caren and John jumped, while the boys rolled their eyes and sighed as the girls continued to be completely stunned. Caren got up and walked over to the broken vase as the sideboard began to catch fire from the flowers. Jacob leaned down to Cat
"Cat, you need to calm down" he said
"My fathers an archangel…" she muttered
"He's Michael…" Sophie said as Embry sat next to her
"That's not possible" Cat thought
"That's unbelievable…" Sophie muttered
"Actually, that's typical" Cat said, finally seeing the irony in it
"How?" Sophie questioned
"Cause it'd only happen to us" Cat grumbled
"Hello! The archangel Michael!" Sophie reminded her "The archangel that slew Lucifer and sent him to earth were he became the devil!" John frowned at that sentence. "He's meant to be the archangel above archangels!"
"Yeah, and what a coincidence that he happens to be OUR dad, of all people" Cat said, Sophie was about to argue back
"No you're right that sounds like something that'd happen to us" she admitted, coming out of her surprised state.
"Well you took that in the best of spirits" Jacob grinned
"Jake" Cat began, he waited for her to continue "I'm the daughter of an archangel" she smiled, Jacob rolled his eyes
"I'm the grandson of a chief" he reminded her
"Archangels better" Cat teased, Jacob sighed and shook his head.
"Now that you've grasped that concept…" Caren said, everyone turned around to see the entire sideboard was on fire, and had began to burn the walls and carpet. Cat stood up while Sophie covered her mouth and looked at her sister
"Shit" Cat muttered, Sophie hit her leg
"Do something" she muttered. Cat clicked her fingers and the fire died, leaving the sideboard, wall and carpet completely unharmed.
"Sorry" Cat mumbled. Caren and John looked at her completely surprised before looking at each other.
"Remember when I said we're not the only ones that need to give an explanation?" Sophie asked biting her lower lip.
"How did you two escape heaven?" Caren asked slowly
"We broke out" Cat shrugged
"No one breaks out…" John admitted
"We did" Sophie sighed
"Wasn't easy either, took us all week to realise it could actually be done" Cat admitted confidently
"Took you all week to remember you could actually do it" Sophie judged
"Sorry, but I'm not the smart one, you should have known it could be done" Cat snapped back
"Girls!" Caren interrupted "How did you break out?"
"Well, I was being kept in a glass cage and Sophie in a metal one" Cat began
"I had hardly any oxygen or water and Cat's glass was bullet proof and had an extremely high melting point" Sophie said
"Why would they go to so much trouble?" John wondered
"It was the only why they could contain us" Cat shrugged
"What do you mean?" Caren asked slowly
"Well…" Cat thought "I just set the sideboard on fire" she stated, Sophie hit her forehead with her hand
"Seriously? That's all you've got?"
"You didn't say anything" Cat reminded her
"I was about to"
"You didn't tell me that"
"You should have waited"
"And let us fall into another awkward silence? No thanks" Cat admitted
"Catherine" Caren walked towards her, Cat bit her lip and flinched away a little at the sound of her full name "How did you set the sideboard on fire?" she asked seriously
"My emotions were too high?" Cat shrugged, unsure on how to explain it. Sophie threw her arms in the air and walked away from her sister
"That's not explaining it" she accused
"I'm sorry maybe you should say something" Cat suggested, Sophie thought for a minute
"Mum, dad, you were wrong" she said "We aren't your normal little girls" she said plainly
"You're…" Caren began
"We're not human" Cat blurted out
"How?" John questioned, Sophie looked at Cat who rolled her eyes before her entire body was surrounded in flames. Jacob took a step back having been standing the closest to her. The fire lasted a few minutes before it disappeared and the twins parents stared at her completely gobsmacked.
"Not normal" Cat said slowly
"But…"
"When we turned thirteen, we gained these abilities" Sophie began "Together the two of us can control the four natural elements; earth, water, fire and wind"
"Sophie can control water and wind" Cat said
"And Cat can control earth and fire" Sophie added. They fell into silence, it was now Caren and John's turn to wrap their head around it.
"Zachariah didn't just want us to punish you, he wanted to find out why we could do what we can" Sophie said after a few minutes
"He found out we weren't normal after he attacked us a few months ago" Cat sighed "After that he had an angel following us everywhere to find out what we could do"
"Zachariah had the cages built to counter our abilities so that we couldn't escape" Sophie informed "Fortunately we remembered that Cat could control silicon, which is what glass is made out of, after she broke it she freed me from my metal trap and we went to find an exit." the two angels stayed silent and unmoving as they stared at the girls.
"We're actually surprised you knew about the wolves and vampires but not about us" Cat admitted with a small smile "At the beginning we weren't exactly good at hiding it" Sophie nodded
"We caused all the electricity and plumbing problems" she confessed
"The wolves found out not long after Bella's grounding was lifted and the vampires found out not long after that" Cat sighed
"That's why Cat's temperature is always so high and mine is so low, ice and fire" Sophie said as the girls took advantage of their parents silence.
"At first we thought we were elementals, but now we're not so sure" Cat muttered "Seems were some sort of special angel"
"Zach seemed to think so" Sophie nodded. They fell into what seemed like an endless silence that lasted quite a while. The wolves shared a look almost worried but the girls just waited.
"You…?" Caren began "Since thirteen?" the girls shrugged
"Why didn't you tell us?" John wondered
"Why didn't you tell us?" Cat asked, they frowned
"Probably for the same reason" Sophie shrugged.
"Can we make a promise?" Cat wondered, everyone looked at her "No more lies?" she asked, Caren smiled and walked towards her putting an arm around her shoulders
"Absolutely" she agreed, John nodded and Sophie gave him a hug.
"See, that wasn't so bad" Jacob grinned
"Shut up" Cat smirked, he winked at her in return.
