Marianna POV
9:35pm

"Do you believe him dear? What if he's just pretending again?"

We asked Honey and Gastron to stay at the castle for the night, so that we can all leave together in the morning. I sat on the bed watching Winston pace up and down our bedroom.

"Hun please come sit down. You're pacing is giving me a headache." He comes over to me sitting down and taking my hands in his.

"Should we believe him?"

"Winston I trust Honey, and if she trusts him then, I say we tread lightly but not naively. You don't have to accept him with open arms hun." Placing my hand on his face.

"I know how much it hurt you when you found out what he did. And I know how much you want to have him back in your life. I'm not forcing you. It's your decision to make. If you choose not to, I'll support your decision. And if you choose, to accept him...I'll support that too. Now come on let's sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." He nods, getting unto his knees in front of me. Hugging my waist.

He lightly kisses my stomach,making me smile.

Morning🌤

Winston and I walked into the dinning room for breakfast, seeing everyone except Honey there. My in laws stood talking to Gastron. My mother in law hits his chest crying before pulling her eldest into her arms.

"I knew it. I knew you weren't truly like that, I just didn't know what to do. You were always such a good child growing up. I wondered for years what caused you to changed so drastically one day." She says, pulling away from him and hitting him again, but harder this time in his face.

"Ow Mom!"

"Why didn't you come to me? Why didn't you talk to your father?"

"Would it have changed anything? I most likely would have gotten a little more free time but I still would've become King. It was the only way I thought I could truly get out of the crown."

"We were close Gastron. Why didn't you talk to me?" Winston says joining the conversation.

"I wanted everyone to think I was the horrible prince, including you. If everyone hated me, it would make me not becoming king much easier. I'm truly sorry for everything guys."

"So that's why you would always say, Freedom is a treasure." He smiles.

"Because it is." The doors to the dinning room opens up and Honey runs in.

"I just contacted Amun, he said that Darla is in Jashville UK. I don't understand why he would let her travel. We have to leave now."

Gwen's Pov

"So let me get this straight...You're saying that the Cullens are vampires, Ms. D is a Fai not a fairy...A Fai. Jacob and his friends are werewolves, like real turn into wolves, werewolves. You're an El, not just any El, but the most powerful one and you have bad guys looking for you. They came to your house and saw Ms. D, James and Henry and fought with them, karate kid style. Ms. D tried to fight them off but got hurt and now Henry and James are vampires. There maybe a war happening soon because the guys who did this could be the ones that had a bounty on your mother's head. And then she decides to leave you with more vampires for your safety.?" Winnie says all in one breathe.

"Wow. Breathe little sis. Got me believing you're the one that can't breathe." She shoots him a glare.

"I'm truly sorry Wilma and John, it was never my intention to get you all involved my mess. I-"

"Oh stop Gwen." Wilma finally speaks for the first time since we started this conversation.

"John and I always thought that you guys were some strange folks. Pale, very cold, all have the same eyes. Renessmae who seems to get older every other month. Plus the fact that she is kept secret from the town, was suspicious also. Your family friends who just suddenly moved in, but has a sense of respect to Jacob like he's their leader."

"Not to mention the fact that the atmosphere just so happens to change whenever you get mad." John adds referring to me.

"How?" I askd amazed. Everyone's face mirroring mines.

"We always knew Gwen. I knew that the Cullens were vampires and that Jacob and his friends were werewolves. I knew that Ms. D was a Fai. However you....I always had the feeling that you were a lot more powerful than just a regular El." John says.

"Wait..so if you guys knew all this time? Why would you still be around us?" Henry asked.

"Because, out of all these miserable people, you guys were the first persons who I actually liked being around. Everyone else was to stuck up and was only after our money." Wilma says, rolling her eyes.

"Are you sure you're not half something? Because your taking this too calmly." Jacob says, and Wilma and John only chuckle.

"100% human." Wilma says.
"Well somewhat."

"I knew it!! What are you?!" Jacob shouts.

"Calm down boy. She's just messing with you." John says laughing.

"We're fully human. That however doesn't mean we don't know things. The Johnson and Cane families are the founders of this town. My grandfather has told me many stories of the allies that he has made over the years. Stories of his vampire friends and many other things. I already knew what you were when you moved here. I just didn't make notice of it. As my grandfather told me, we provide homes not only to human folk. Plus the humans who live here are either from foundation families or they married to someone from town. However not everyone knows the History of Jashville." He tells us.

"My mother on the other hand, would always say to me 'Wilma, the world is a lot more bigger than you think. Other people's business is their business. Be kind and mind your business, unless necessary. Jashville is not a huge gatedish-town for no reason. We take the safety of our citizens seriously."

"So the men we meet?" Seth says and she smiles, nodding.

"Good good friends of ours." John says, but doesn't specify what they are.

"Humans that know about the supernatural world. It's not what I am accustom to." Carlisle says.

"There are a lot of humans that know of the supernatural world. They just don't advertise it,you know."

"So you're not mad at me?" I ask her. I really needed to hear it from her mouth.

"No Gwen, we're not. It was only a matter of time anyway. We were going to tell them our family's history soon. I am a little sad that he was turned but I'm only thankful that he's still alive." John says.

"Well I.." she drags it out.
"think I'm losing my mind right now." Winnie says.
"And what is this weird pull I keep getting towards Henry?!"

My eyes widen and I look to him.

"I didn't know what it was, so I was just ignoring it." He shrugs.

"But you just turned 18." I whine.

●○●○●○●○●

I was somewhat more at ease now with the whole situation. Everything was somewhat back to normal. Some of the family were outside by the pool, others went hunting.

Carlisle explained to Henry and Winnie about mates. Henry however didn't look too happy during said conversation.

I walk inside, heading to the kitchen when my phone begins to ring. I look at the caller ID, seeing that it was Amun.

"Hi Amun."

"Darla, we just arrived in London, we'll arrive soon."

"Okay that's great."

"Also, Honey contacted me."

"What!? Mom's Alive!!"

"She is. Her brother Anderson is planning to come and find you-"

"I believe he already has Amun."

"What how?"

"There was an attack at Ms.D's house. Henry and his friend James are now vampires. Carlisle and the others have planned to portrol the surroundings, while we all stay at his house."

"Darla-"

"I know Amun, I know. But..everything I feared, is happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it."

"Darla...I need you to remain calm and don't do anything until we arrive."

"I can't promise you that Amun. My brother and James' life was completely taken from them. My family is being threatened. And I swear Amun...if they touch my son,the entire world will feel the side effects of my warth as it rains down on them."

"Darls please promise you won't fight this on your own."

"No promises Benji." I tell him.

"Gwen please.." I hear Benji beg but I hang up. Resting my phone down on the kitchen counter. I take a deep breath.

"Gwen!! James and Emmett are going to arm wrestl- Everything okay?" Henry says walking in the kitchen.

"Arm wrestling you say..who are we betting own?" I say changing the subject, grabbing unto his arm.

"Definitely Emmett. James' ego gets to him to much sometimes." Thankfully Henry forgot about his former question.

Walking out back I see that they had set up a stones in the middle of the backward.

Where did they even get stones that big?

Everyone surrounds them. The Cullens stare at me with solemn looks, and I knew for a fact they heard my conversation with Amun.

"This is giving me deja vu. Didn't you lose last time Emmett?" Jacob says.

"That was then. This is now." Emmett replies, taking James' hand in his. Jasper stood in the middle of them hand raised, playing referee.

"Don't go crying to Mrs. E when you lose Emmett."

"Oh please James. I take my L's like a champ and take my W's like a pro. Don't underestimate your opponent. Isn't that one of your rules Jasper?"

Jasper rolls his eyes at the both of them.
"Okay guys, ready...set...wrestle!"

I watched on as the boys both fought to prove who was stronger. The genuine smiles on everyone's faces.

Carlisle walks over to me, wrapping his arm around my waist, placing a kiss to the side of my head.

I may not know fully what is coming, or what is about to happen. However I do know one thing for sure...

I would do anything to protect my family.
