I looked at the girl shocked then shook my head. "That cant be right, you have the wrong person. I don't have any siblings." I replied and she shook her head.

"I don't have the wrong person. You are my sister." Juliet stated.

"How come I don't remember you, because my parents died when I was ten and as far as I know I was an only child." I said and Eric tightened his grip even more.

"They weren't your parents." Juliet explained. I looked at her confused. "When you were three, our parents wanted to protect you from their enemies. So, they sent you to live with their most trusted servants. I was sent to live with our aunt. I remember our parents telling me to find you when they sent me word to. Last week they sent me a letter telling me to find you and they had a picture." She looked me over. "Its seems that you have changed your looks."

"This is too much for me to take in." I replied.

"As I thought it would be. I warned our parents to not do make me come for you, but they ordered me to come and find you." Juliet answered and I started to get light headed.

"Kayla, are you alright?" Eric asked worriedly. I shook my head for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Too much information seems to have caused her to become sick." Juliet stated the obvious.

"Thanks." Eric said sarcastically.

"Now if you don't mind I will be taking my sister and leaving." Juliet replied and grabbed my arm.

"No, I want to stay with Eric!" I exclaimed and tore my arm out of her grasp. She sighed and pinched her nose.

"Fine, the bloodsucker can come as well." She replied and Eric growled at her. "Don't growl at me." At this point all of our friends had come outside and were watching with interest. Juliet went to grab me again.

"That is enough Juliet." I heard a male voice said.

"Ah, Kaleb. Nice to see you again after all these years." Juliet stated in mock happiness.

"Leave our sister alone. She clearly doesn't want you touching her." Kaleb said. He looked like a boy version of me before I changed my appearance. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was the same height as me or at least thats what it seemed like. "Hello, sorry we had to meet this way Kayla, but I am your twin brother. Sorry for Juliet's behavior, she doesn't know how to control herself around new people." He said and put a hand out. I grabbed it and we shook hands. "I hate that I have to ask you to leave right now when you just met us, but our parents are dying to meet you." He smiled at me and I couldn't help to smile back.

"Uh, sure. As long as Eric can go with me." I replied and stared at my long lost brother.

"Of course he can come. Whatever makes you comfortable." Kaleb stated and he lead us to a car. "When we are done tonight I will have Timothy drive you back to your car." I nodded and Kaleb opened the car door. Eric and I got in, Kaleb followed with Juliet.

"So, why does your parents want Kayla back all of the sudden." Eric asked and Kaleb smiled.

"Well, they always missed her and have been waiting for the day she returns." Kaleb explained and Eric nodded. We drove in silence and Eric held my hand. It made me feel more comfortable and safe. Twenty minutes later we pulled up to a large castle. An elderly man opened the door and we all got out. I held on to Eric and he wrapped an arm around me. I smiled at him and he kissed me before we walked in. There were decorations everywhere and a woman with blue eyes and long blonde hair, that came down to her waist, she was wearing a simple summer dress. She was helping set up a banner. The banner read 'Welcome Home Kayla.'

A man was helping some of the servants set up some balloons. He had black hair and brown eyes. He had on a black t shirt and blue jeans. They were to busy caught up with what they were doing that they didn't notice us sitting there. Kaleb cleared his throat and their heads shot up. They looked at me and their eyes grew wide. They walked towards me slowly.

"Is that her?" She asked Kaleb. Her voice was so soft and gentle. Kaleb nodded and she put a hand to her chest. "Finally after thirteen years my baby is home." I hid my face in Eric's chest and heard the man that claimed to be my father chuckle. "No need to be shy." I looked up and let go of Eric he put a hand on my shoulder. I looked back at him and nodded.

"How do I know for sure that you guys are really my parents?" I asked and My 'father' smiled.

"We have pictures from when you were a baby. The same ones your parents had." The man stated. He walked over to a closet and pulled out a book. On the book it said Kayla. They opened it and showed me pictures of me when I was a baby. I looked through the book shocked. Then looked at them, Eric squeezed my shoulder.

"They're my parents." I whispered to myself. They smiled and pulled me into a hug.

"We have a big night planned, a huge party to be thrown for your return and we have a room set up for you to sleep in-" My dad started.

"Wait a minute. I am happy to see you guys and all, but I'm not living with you." I interrupted. They looked at me shocked and then it seemed that they finally noticed Eric's presence. "Mom, Dad. This is my mate, Eric. I live with him, his father, and his brother."

"You guys are mates?" My father asked and I nodded. "Okay, well we aren't going to force you."

"I will visit you all the time and if its okay with Eric's dad, all of you can visit whenever you want." I replied and my mother smiled.

"Of course sweetie, we only want you to be happy. Now will you at least be staying for the party?" My mom asked and I nodded again. She smiled and clapped her hands. "Wonderful, okay come with me." She said and grabbed my hands, she dragged me and I heard my father tell Eric to follow him.
