Chapter 4

We went to Scotland as I said we would and had our nice little hunt on the animals there. it was absolutely fun, now since I had someone to share it with. Our trip back was spent with us messing around, racing, just us having a good time. it was very nice.

When we entered Fork I smelt Jonas' scent as well did Edward. I rushed to my house to see him pinning Tia to the wall, getting ready to kill her. I got Jonas by the neck, threw him outside and began attacking him for trying to kill my mother. Hate coursed threw me as I slowly killed Jonas.

"Nyx!" Tia yelled to me.

I turned to her to see her with tears streaking down her face.

"It's not what you think." she whispered knowing I would be able to hear her.

"Not what I think?!" I roared, "He was trying to kill you! Why shouldn't I kill him?!"

"Yes he was trying to kill me but it's because I have Cancer. The kind that you can't get rid of." she cried.

My eyes widened quickly. My mother had cancer and was going to let this creature get rid of her pain?! Over my dead body!

"I'd rather it not be this thing, mom. And why mom? You knew I was coming home! Do you have any idea how I'd feel?! Not being able to say bye to my mom. How could you?" I asked as a couple tears crawled down my face.

"I didn't want you to see me like this." Tia argued.

I stopped and looked at the man that was supposed to be my father. He was looking at me with terror. I stumbled back ashamed of what I'd done, and fell quickly to the ground only to have Edward rush to me and engulf me in a hug as I cried.

Jonas got up and went to my mom, "Are we going to finish this, dear?"

"Yes just give me a minute." Tia said and walked over to me.

She put a hand on Edward's shoulder and pulled me to her.

I held on to her for dear life. I couldn't loose her. She was the one person who gave me my hope, my life, she made me who I am now. I savored her beautiful scent of lilies and we held one another for a couple minutes. Then she finally let go and went to Jonas. He picked her up and made a dash to a place I did not know. He tried to take me away from her, now he's taken her away from me.

I felt Edward pick me up and run, but I had no earthly idea where he was taking me. That is until I realized that Esme held me like mom would when I was depressed. The Cullen's were my family now, Esme was now my mother, Carlisle seem to be like a father to me anyways, and Edward was now my boyfriend.

The next day I woke up laying next to Edward. I sat up slowly and looked around. We were at my house, in my room. I shot down the hall and sure enough I wasn't dreaming last night. Her room was empty, and her scent was still in the house.

I sighed then turned to see Edward standing right behind me. I jumped because I didn't hear him and it scared the crap out of me.

"Sorry. How you feeling?" he asked as he caressed my face.

"I'm doin' okay." I sighed and gave him hug.

We stud in silence until Edward pulled away and said "Come on, Esme and Carlisle want to see you."

I nodded the held up a finger.

"I need to change." I said and walked to my room.

"Ok. I'll meet you down stairs." He said and kissed my forehead then headed down stairs.

I nodded then walked to my room. It was still the same room but felt empty. I walked over to my boxes and went to find something comfy. I eventually found a black pair of pants and a regular white oxford. I thought that would be comfy right now, so don't judge me. I looked at myself in the mirror and to my displeasure, I looked like shit. My hair was a mess, my eyes were red from all the crying, and my cheeks were paler than usual. So I ran a brush threw my hair and pulled it into a pony-tail, and put a little bit of make-up on. As soon as I was fixed up I went to my closet and grabbed my cheap pair of boots and sock and put them on.

I walked down stairs to see Edward looking at some old photos of me and mom. I didn't wana see them right now, it would just make me start crying again.

"Ready?" I asked Edward who hadn't turned to see me yet.

He turned and smiled softly, "You look beautiful."

"I did the best I could since I cried my eyes out last night. Come on. We're taking my car instead of walking." I said grabbing my keys to my black Pontiac.

"Come here." he said taking my hand and pulling me to him. He pressed his full lips to mine and gave me the gentle kiss that I needed. I pulled back and smiled softly.

"Thank you." I mouthed.

"Your most certainly welcome, love." Edward said and led me outside.

We only let each others hand go only for me to get in the car and start the car. I turned my radio on and put some calm wordless music on, mainly piano, but there were also drums, a guitar, violin, you name it, I had it.

Edward directed the way since I'd only been there once. We made it the within 10 minutes and I saw Emmet standing on the porch waiting for us.

'How is she?' he asked sounding worried.

"I'm doing fine Emmet. Thanks for the concern though." I said getting out of the car.

"No prob, kiddo." Emmet said walking over to us.

I kinda smiled when he lead me in with an arm around my shoulder. Esme was standing in the dining room looking out the window.

"Esme?" I said getting her attention.
"Nyx." Esme sighed and gave me the motherly hug I needed at the moment. "Carlisle, she's here."

I heard a door open from up stairs and Carlisle came walking down the stairs.

"Nyx, how are you doing?" He asked sounding very fatherly.

"I'm doing a little better." I answered calmly.

"Nyx, we were wondering of you'd like to come live with us. We would love to have you part of the family." Carlisle said.

Everyone came down and looked at me with worried eyes.

I stopped to think for a second then smiled softly, "I'd love to. Thank you so much."

"No, thank you." Esme corrected, "Because of you, you've made Edward very happy. We thought he'd never find someone to love, like he loves you."

I looked to Edward and I saw him looking at me with very loving eyes that filled my world.

This was my family, and I was now a Cullen. Happy beyond compare, but also very broken at the loss of my mother that Jonas stole from me.

I guess every thing has a reason as to why it happens. Maybe I was meant to be with Edward, maybe was meant to be a Cullen. Whether it was fait or just a matter of timing, I do not care. I lost my family and was given another right away. But I do know for sure is that when I see Jonas next time, he will die. and no one will stop me. But for now, I'm going to spend my time with the Cullens and get settled into my new life.
