~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

Ever since Carlisle and I came back from visiting my parents, I have felt at peace. It's almost as if a heavyweight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can think about my real family without feeling guilty or sad. I haven't talked much about my past or about Amelia's but then again, no one had really asked. I know they want to, especial Carlisle and Sam but none of them had the courage to ask. Sometimes whenever someone talks about their past they would often glance my way but wouldn't say anything.

"You okay?" I heard someone ask. Looking up from my book I see Alec standing in front of me.

I smiled at him, "yeah. I'm just wondering what to make for this gathering."

"You could literally make the worse food in the world and yet those guys would devour it," I laughed at his comment because I knew it was true.

"Are you saying that mother's food is the worse food in the world?" Emmett asked, coming in the kitchen.

Alec rolls his eyes, "no I am saying she could make--" Emmett interrupted him, "yeah, yeah. I hear you the first time."

Alec growled at him but didn't say anything, he turned to me. "Make that fruit cake pastry, they seem to like that." I smiled at his suggestion. I only made it once but they did eat it within the first ten minutes of the party.

"Great idea, Alec." I turned around and looked for the things I needed to make it. "Did you know that I only made it once when I was seven years old with my mother. I didn't think it would turn out good or that I would remember the recipe, it's been such a long time since then. But who knew that I could remember something so simple as a fruit cake. " I didn't realize that I was talking about my actual mother or that everyone inside the house was listening to me talk about my past.

I walked over to the refrigerator, "I remember it was on a Tuesday's evening. I just came from school and my mother was finishing up cooking. She turned around and saw me walking into the kitchen. She asked me what I wanted for dessert that night. Obviously, I could have anything I wanted, a double chocolate cake or even ice cream but I didn't. In school, I was reading this book where the main character was baking a fruit cake with her grandmother."

I turned around and saw that Jasper and Rosalie were in the kitchen. "Of course, I thought that was the most amazing thing ever. I mean I love fruit and cake, so imagine those two put together. OMG! But sadly when my mother and I finished baking it, it didn't look so amazing. Not like what I was imagining. So I didn't even tried the cake," I said looking down and laughed at the memory.

I guess I took a little longer remembering that day because when I looked up everyone was in the kitchen, listening to my story. "You know this is the first time you talked about your past," Jasper said looking at me with a soft expression.

"And father isn't here to hear it. Man, he's going to be very upset knowing that we were the first to hear a story," Emmett said looking around.

"Or Sam," Jake added and the others agreed with him.

I rolled my eyes at them, "it's not true. I've talked--" Alice interrupted me. "You only said that your parents were doctors and that they died in some hunting accident. Also that you're Sam's long lost cousin but other than that, nothing about your past."

I stared at them before thinking about what she just said and I realized that she's saying the truth. I haven't talked much but I mean it's not like I could say anything about it. But it doesn't seem fair that I know more about their past and they know nothing about mine. "Well, it's because you guys haven't asked," I said, pouting.

"We didn't want to push," Alice said which caused me to scoff.

"Please you're known to push people until they talk," I said mixing my ingredients together.

This time Alice rolls her eyes, "I do not push," she crossed her arms.

"You pushed me away in junior year," I said pointing the wooden spoon at her.

Alice drops her arms, "that doesn't even count."

"Yet you still P.U.S.H.E.D me away," I sang, spelling out the word pushed.

Alice pouted, "not the same." I along with the others laughed at her as Jasper pulled her towards him.

"It sure is but anyways, are you guys going to Sam's house for the get-together?" I asked, putting the pan inside the oven.

"No, I'm going with Jane to the city to do some shopping," Alec said.

"Jasper and I are going to hunt with Demetri and Felix," Emmett said.

"Well we have anything else, so yeah we'll go," Alice said looking at Rosalie.

Shaking her head, " sorry but no. I can't stand the dog smell," Jake scoffed.

"Alright, well since the cake is baking I am going to change before leaving. Meet you there?" I asked Jake and Bella. Both of them nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wasn't expecting anything to happen. Nothing ever does, not since that one time in the baseball field. I still feel the bad vibe but it's not the same anymore. It's... umm for the lack of better word the vibe is calmer yet still dangerous.

Everyone was there; the boy's imprintee and the council. Charlie said that he invited someone but didn't tell us who, he just smiled at me as I asked who it was. I looked at Edward, perhaps he was going to tell me but he stayed quiet. He had this strange expression before turning away from me. Confused I just let it go and continue talking to Leah.

I was sitting on top of Emily's kitchen counter when suddenly I get the same strange vibe. I stop talking to Leah and turned to the front door. This strange feeling was telling me to run yet go towards it. I didn't notice that Edward was staring at me the entire time. I saw Charlie walking towards the door and greeted the newcomer.

3rd POV:

Charlie walked in with two new people. One of them was a male; 6 feet, black hair with deep dark blue eyes. And the other one was a female; 5'6 feet tall with the same colored eyes at the male but her hair had purple on the tips of her hair. Charlie moved aside to introduce his friends to the others, "everyone this is--" the female interrupted him.

"Amelia Ravellino, is that you?" the female asked in a high pitch voice.

The female runs towards her as Amelia hops down the counter with a smile on her face. "Amelia, what in the world are you doing here in the wettest part of America?" The two girls hugged each other as if they haven't seen each other in forever.

Pulling away from the hug, "well if you must know, Paige. Sam--" she glances at Sam; who was standing next to Carlisle. "is my cousin," Paige looks at Amelia with a funny look and she laughs. "I know, I know. We don't look alike, but yeah we're related."

Paige looks at Sam and then at Amelia, "since when?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

Once again Amelia laughed, "since birth. We're long lost cousins." Paige looks at Sam again, taking him in then turns back at Amelia. "Don't see the resemblance. You're too pretty to be related to him," again Amelia laughs and Paige smiles down at her.

"Well don't just stand there looking like an idiot, come and say hello to lovely Amelia," Paige said turning around to look at the male.

"Amelia how are you?" the male asked, walking towards the two of them.

Amelia smiles at him, "I've been good and you Kaden?"

"Well better now that you remember me," he said with a teasing smile and Amelia rolled her eyes.

"I didn't forget, I just simply didn't remember at that moment," the three of them said at the same time. The three of them look at each other before they started to laugh.

"Same-o Amelia," Paige said as she stops laughing and Kaden agreed with her.

The three of them started talking and it seemed that they completely ignored everyone else. From across the room, Carlisle watched as the three lost friends interacted with each other. He notices something he didn't like; especially when Kaden would stare at Amelia with a familiar expression only a lover would give his partner.

Feeling jealous of the newcomer, Carlisle went towards his fiancee. "Hello," he greeted. In an instance, Kaden's smile fell and his warm aura turned cold and distance. "Dr. Cullen," Kaden said, his voice showing no emotions.

Immediately, Carlisle and the others that Kaden didn't like him but they didn't know why. "You know who I am," Carlisle states, wrapping his arm around Amelia's waist and pushing her closer to him.

Kaden briefly looks at his action before a fake smile appeared on his face, "of course, who doesn't know the great doctor of Forks." The way he said it, caused Carlisle and everyone to wondered what he meant by that.

Paige smacked his chest before turning to Carlisle, "it's a pleasure to meet you. We've heard many great things about you."

Carlisle didn't respond but simply smiled at them. The tension was becoming heavier as Carlisle and Kaden stared at each other. "I don't know about you guys but I'm starving, let's eat," Amelia said feeling the need to break the tension.

Turning his dark blue eyes away from Carlisle's golden eyes, "you're always hungry. I'm surprised you haven't gained any real weight," Kaden smirked at Amelia and Paige laughed.

"I'll have you know that I've gained about seven pounds since junior year of high school," Amelia pouts.

"Liar, you haven't changed since middle school," Paige said smiling at Amelia.

Kaden looks at Carlisle, "but your eyes changed color." Paige glared at Kaden, her face clearly showing disappointment. The whole room got tensed, Carlisle held Amelia tighter. Kaden looks down at Amelia. "Too bad, I liked your eyes the color they were before."

Paige forced a smile, "well who didn't. They were a rare dark brown but people change, Kaden and we must learn to move on."

Kaden looks at Paige, "perhaps change isn't always good, dear sister."

Paige held his stare, "well whether you like it or not, it changed move on." Paige said glaring at Kaden but he only smiled at her.

After the siblings weird moment, Emily and the ladies set up the table so they would eat. As everyone was sitting around the large table eating the food the ladies cooked; expected the vampires, Paige and Amelia were catching up.

"Oh my, do you remember the time when we went down to the strip and got lost. It took nearly five hours for anyone to locate us?" Paige asked, laughing at the remember.

Amelia laughed and turned to Kaden who sat next to Paige, "our parents were so angry with us. I don't ever remember them being that angry before."

"That's not true," Kaden said before drinking his wine. Paige turned to her brother and Amelia raised her eyebrow.

"Then tell me another time they were--" halfway through her sentence Amelia gets this flashback in her head. In her memory, Amelia was with Kaden and their parents in what seemed to be a boy's room. She saw her younger self on top of a bed with her shirt unbutton while Kaden only had his shorts on.

Amelia looks at Kaden wide eyes and she covers her mouth. She didn't need to be a genius to know what exactly happened. "Ohh," Amelia looks down at her plate when she heard Kaden's laugh she was very thankful that she was a vampire and not human because she knew that her face would have been a bright red.

"What?" Paige asked looking between Kaden and Amelia.

"N-nothing," Amelia said not looking up and once again Kaden laughs.

Paige rolls her eyes, "it seems that nothing really changed. But anyways, Amelia." Amelia looks up. "You still ride?" she asked picking up her fork.

Amelia shook her head, "not as much."

Paige puts down her fork looking offended, "why the hell not?" she asked, glancing at Carlisle; as if he had anything to do with her not riding.

Amelia shrugged her shoulders, "don't have the time, I guess?"

Paige gave out a sarcastic laugh, "do you hear her brother?" she turns to Kaden; who was staring at Amelia with an unemotional expression. "She doesn't have time. I remember when you first got Raven you wouldn't let anyone near her."

"Are you talking about her bike? It's nice and fast, I like it." Jake said shoving his face with the fruit cake.

Again Paige looks offended, "it's not any old bike," she snickers and looks at Jake as if he spit out dirt from his mouth. "Kaden did not rebuild that motorcycle twenty thousand times just for you to say it nice and fast. Do you know what kind of bike Amelia has?" She asked and when Jake didn't answer she rolled her eyes. "It a 2009 ninja 250 matte black custom made for perfection. Raven is one of a million, no one has a motorcycle like that she's pure deadly."

Everyone stared at the blue eye girl, amazed that she went all out trying to explain to Jake the importance of Amelia's bike. "Man, I was so damn jealous when Kaden brought Amelia that bi--" Jake interrupted Paige.

"You brought her that bike?" Jake asked turning to look at Kaden and Amelia.

"Amelia wanted that bike, so I got it," Kaden said as if it wasn't a big deal.

Paige scoffed, "there wasn't a thing you wouldn't get or do for Amelia even if it went going against her parents."

There was a silence before Edward spoke up for the first time since he got there. "What were you and Amelia?" Edward asked.

"What do you think? Obviously boyfriend and girlfriend," Paige said rudely.

The whole table was silent, some were looking at Kaden; who was staring at Amelia, others were staring at Carlisle and some were staring at Amelia; who wasn't paying attention she was busy having a little moment to herself. At that moment, Amelia was having these were memories of her 'past' life.

"When did you two break up?" Sam asked Kaden but he was paying attention to him, he was to busy staring at Amelia.

Four seconds later, a gasp was heard from Amelia's direction. Everyone saw how quickly Amelia turned to Kaden with eyes wide. Her expression clearly showing shocked and disbelief. "H-holy fuck. We never broke up, didn't we?" Amelia asked as they locked eyes with each other.

Everyone turned to stare at Amelia and then at Kaden, wondering what in the world is happening right now. What did Amelia mean that they never broke up? Does it still count that they're dating or not? What does this mean for her and Carlisle? And why hasn't Kaden said anything for the past few minutes?
