"Whats going on is everyone alright" Carlisle asked as he and Alex sped through the door
"We're fine…for now anyway" Edward said
"There's a new girl in Forks…and she knows about vampires" Alice said
"Theres another vampire in Forks, does she seem like a threat" Alex said
"No, she's not a vampire, and we dont think she's human either…she blocked her mind, almost like she shielded herself from my power" Edward said
"Well she cant be a wolf, Sam would have warned us" Carlisle informed
"So we have absolutely no idea who or what this girl is, well thats great might as well pack our bags now" Alex huffed
"No ones going anywhere, does this girl have a name" Carlisle asked
"Yea, about that, her surname is Cullen…Danielle Cullen, and she apparently came from London" Emmett spoke up as Carlisle froze with a pained look on his face
"Carlisle is everything alright" Esme asked worried
"Back when I was human I had a daughter,a beautiful little girl, her name was Danielle. She was 5 years old when I changed, when I realized what I became I knew I could never go back to her, but I watched over her until she turned 18 thats when she was killed. To this day I will never forgive myself for not protecting her, I failed her as a father" Carlisle choked up as he looked out the window not daring to see the look on his families faces
"Oh sweetheart" Esme said softly to comfort him
"Would now be a bad time to bring up the fact that this girl is basically you in female form, except for the eyes, man her eyes are like ocean blue." Emmett said
"It couldn't possibly be her, she'd have to be over 200 years old" Rosalie sneered
"I think Carlisle should meet her" Edward suggested
"Do you really believe it could be her" Carlisle said
"Anything is possible" Esme said
"Tomorrow after school we can ask her to come back here" Alice said
~…~
That night sleep didn't come easy for the Danielle, she didn't really need sleep it just made her stronger and less unstable. Instead she kept thinking of the Cullen family and hoped they wouldn't go digging to find out about her.
~…~
"Alice what you going to do just walk up to her and say "your father who you haven't seen in over 200 years is a vampire and wants to see you" Emmett said as Rosalie and Jasper were completely not on board and Edward was just standing back
"Well no I was just going to invite her over, I wasn't going to reveal the father subject so soon it may freak her out" Alice skipped
"Oh yea because saying we're vampires wouldn't" Rose rolled her eyes
"Shhh there she is…Danielle" Alice called out
"Hi, do I know you" Danielle said as she gripped her books
"I'm Alice Cullen, we noticed you were new and wanted to introduce ourselves" Alice said
"Well its nice to meet you, I'm sorry I'm late for A.P bio" Danielle turned to leave
"Wait, would you like to come to our house after school and get better acquainted" Alice asked
"Thank you, but I have so much work to do, I'll see you around" Dani said quickly
"Well that went well, her mind was blocked the whole time" Edward said
"There has to be another way, I'll try again after school"Alice said as she grabbed Jaspers hand and left for class
~…~
"Hey what did the Cullens want" Nick said
"They just wanted to welcome me to Forks and invite me to their home" Dani said
"Maybe they think your a long lost relative since you share their name…the Cullens don't talk to anyone especially don't invite them to their home" Nick said
"Right a relative, I got to go" Dani said quickly as she ran to her bike and raced to the middle of the forest away from civilians
"Ostende mihi faciem Minerva (show me the face of )" Dani chanted at a tree bark
"Hello Kitten I'm so happy you made it there safely" Minerva said
"Yes, the trip was swift to say the least, what I dont remember you telling me is why theres vampires in town" Danielle said with arms crossed
"Yes about that well its beneficial to your quest that you associate with them" Minerva tried to answer cooly
"Yes the quest that I have Absolutely NO idea what I'm supposed to do, you left me with nothing, how are vampires going to help me…OMG Cullen…Carlisle…Minerva please don't tell me he's my father… My Fathers A Vampire" Danielle snapped causing thunder and lightning
"Kitten please calm down, we only found out recently, your mother didn't even know, but he is a beneficial part of your future and quest" Minerva said softly
"What would you like me to do exactly knock on his door and say "Oh hello I'm your long lost daughter you haven't seen in 200 years and oh I'm a witch" Dani said sarcastically
"I'm sorry your so upset but please see this in a new light and open your heart and mind to this new adventure" Minerva said
"I just don't want to lose anyone again" Danielle said calmly
"I know sweetheart, I have to go now our connection is dying, but always know that you are strong enough for anything, I love you Kitten" Minerva said before she disappeared
~…~
"We've got trouble, the wolves are coming, they know about the girl, and they're not happy" Edward said as they all returned to the house, moments before the wolves came
"I've come in my human form Carlisle as respect to you, and I want the truth as this impacts us both, who is this girl, that shares your name" Sam said calmly with his pack behind him
"We dont know we understand that she's not human" Carlisle said
"Is she a vampire" Sam asked
"Not that we are aware, she blocked her mind from Edward, but show qualities of a human" Carlisle explained
"A human does not have powers, if she is a threat to the humans we will be forced to kill her we have a duty to protect" Sam said aggressively
"Kill me, you'd be dead before you even saw me coming" Danielle said from the tree top
"Who are you, what are you" Sam growled as the pack stepped closer ready to attack
"Danielle Cullen, and I'm a Witch" Danielle said as she jumped gracefully looking swiftly at Carlisle who was staring back at her
Paul in wolf form growled ready to attack her from behind when she saw him pounce she grabbed his paw and flipped him over
"I Really Wouldn't Do That If I Were You" Danielle raised her voice causing thunder, she then lowered her hand over him as he sunk to the floor in a peaceful position. Sam growing angrier made a move to attack her but was stopped by Carlisle who gripped his wrist
"Touch Her And I will Kill You, Treaty be damned" Carlisle said bitterly as the Cullens looked on in shock, and Danielle just stared
"One chance, if I believe you are a threat, no one will be able to save you" Sam growled
"I dont need anyone to save me, same goes for you I wouldn't want me as an enemy" Dani stood sternly as the wolfs departed leaving Danielle alone with the Cullens
"The wolves shouldn't be much of a problem they have their conditions and I can assure you I'm no threat to humans, but non the less they're on my raider, I'll deal with them should a problem occur" Dani said seriously
"Wait, please don't go we'd love to know more about you, wont you come inside" Esme asked
"Theres not much more you need to know then what I can assume you already know" Danielle looked at Carlisle
"Please Danielle…I can't lose you again" Carlisle begged
"Lose me, you left me, every night I waited for your return, and I know your going to say you were trying to protect me, but you chose the hunt over your child who needed her father" Danielle sobbed with unshed tears (immortal witches cant cry") as Carlisle ran to her and held her in his arms
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I have thought about you every minute of every day, had I known that you were still here, I would have found a way to find you, I thought you had died" Carlisle said holding her close
"Thats a long and painful story" Danielle sighed
"Please come home with us, I want to know everything that I've missed" Carlisle offered as Dani nodded she then whistled and a broom appeared out of nowhere
"What, how did you think I got here" Dani shrugged
"Dude she's an actual witch she has a broomstick" Emmett laughed
"That is such a typical response theres more to being a witch than flying and I'd have you know I'm way faster than your average vampire speed" Dani rolled her eyes
"Oh you are so on Edward here is the fastest in the family maybe we'll have a little friendly competition" Emmett challenged
"How did I get involved" Edward said
"Alright enough boys, please have a seat, I'm Esme we haven't officially been introduced" Esme smiled
"So whats your story, and how are you alive" Rosalie asked warming up to the girl knowing she wasn't going to be a threat to her family
"Seeing you all would probably prefer the long version might as well get comfortable" Dani said
"I was born in the early 1700s, my mother was a pure blood witch, she actually left her "world" when she met and fell in love with you" Dani said turning to Carlisle "She wasn't allowed to tell you she was a witch as it went against our "rules" and half bloods were rare, surprisingly theres more now then there was…half bloods are half human half witch children. Anyway umm we all know what happened when I was 5, my mom and I went back to her "world" where I was raised purely in a magical community, until my magic was fully matured. When I was 18, I ran away from home, there was so much expectations from me of who I was expected to be and because my mother was such a powerful witch I had a lot to live up to, and I wasn't ready, unfortunately what I didn't know was that people actually feared witches because of the unknown, a group of church man cornered me into a circle one man lit my surrounding on fire, my mistake was believing they had left, but they waited until I used magic to rescue myself and when I did they shot me with a poisonous dagger. Its the only non magical way to kill a witch. In my finale moments of my half blood life, my mother came performing every spell she knew to try and save me, I remember her saying that she couldn't lose me the way she had lost my father, so in my last moment she gave me her immortality and her powers and she died." Danielle closed her eyes in emotional pain as she felt Carlisle's arms wrap around her
"Your mother loved you, and she would have done anything to keep you safe, never believe for a second that you are unworthy of this life she's given you" Carlisle said holding and comforting his daughter
"I'd like to think that everything I've done in my life has brought me here, brought me back to you" Dani said
"I know I cant ever make up for all the pain that I've caused you, but I want more than anything to give you a home again, a family" Carlisle said as Esme sat down on her other side and smiled softly
"I cant just come in and impose on the life and family you've built" Danielle said
"You are apart of this family, I would never try to replace your mother but just knowing you these past few moments, I love you as one of my daughters" Esme smiled gesturing to Alice and Rosalie
"I'm stoked about the idea of having another sister… hell a sister who's a witch thats AWESOME" Emmett cheered as everyone laughed
"A new sister to go shopping with, I already love your style" Alice agreed
"No one wants to be alone in the world, I would love another sister" Rosalie gave a smile
"Dont be so nervous, I'm with Emmett a witch in the family does sound pretty cool" Jasper said
"I dont deserve this, not after everything I've done" Dani thought
"Your wrong you do deserve this, we've all done things in the past that made us unworthy of love and family, me included, but being in this family changes you…for the better" Edward said kneeling in front of her in support
"You know having a brother who can read minds is going to pretty annoying" Dani said as everyone laughed
"Well actually you kind of blocked my powers the first day you came to town" Edward smirked
"About that, thats some new magic, I'm surprised it worked" Dani informed.
"Can you show us some magic" Emmett asked
"Sure do you mind if I use you, I promise it won't hurt a bit" Dani smirked
"Bring it sis" Emmett flexed as Dani raised her hands slowly as Emmett began to rise
"This is Awesome, wait till Alex meets you" Alice said
"Alex, another brother" Dani asked as she lowered Emmett
"Not exactly, more like a friend, Carlisle found him after he went rogue trying to adjust to being a vampire" Alice explained
"Thank you Alice but I can introduce myself, who are you" Alex asked leaning against the wall
"Danielle, I'm Carlisle's daughter" Dani introduced as she held her hand out to shake. When their hands touched they both felt a spark and quickly released
"Right how the hell is that even possible" Alex said crossing his arms
"I'm a witch, I was born when he was human" Dani said crossing her arms
"You're a witch, like pointed black hats and broomsticks" Alex said as the Cullens looked on at confrontation
"Wow, arrogant much, so I assume you sleep in a coffin, turn into a bat, and turn to dust in the sun" Danielle bit back
"Look here witch, we've made a life here, we've avoided confrontations with the wolf pack, and we pose no threats to the humans" Alex said getting pissed
"I can assure you I'm no threat, the wolves are my problem you don't need to get involved" Dani said annoyed as they got into each others face
"Ok ok thats enough Alex have some respect, Danielle is apart of this family and I expect you to treat her as such" Carlisle said getting in the middle
"Yea, I'm actually going to get going, I've had enough excitement for one night" Danielle said
"Wait, please don't leave, we have all this room, come stay with us" Esme asked
"I guess its better than staying at a bed and breakfast, I just have to go and get my things" Dani said
"We'll go with you, if thats ok" Alice asked as Rosalie grabbed the keys to the car
