Marcus pov:
The second we open the car door I can smell a human near by. Guess this must be the already mentioned Mia Swan then.
Maybe, if my kids are indeed right with their thoughts, then I might find myself another daughter within this precious girl. Alone from what I have heard so far from my children along with their mate and Carlisle, I am certain I will make sure to protect her from anything bad that might come her way. Even if she shouldn't be in any form connected to us, no one ever should have to go through this much pain like this young girl had to live through.
„You will see she truly is mesmerizing papa." Jane softly says as she smiles up to me. Her hand still holding tightly onto Felix since they haven't seen one another for a few days. At times like this I do hate myself for ever allowing them to be separated, especially since it's easy to see how much it actually pains my wonderful bambini's. Maybe I really should put my foot down once and for all, and tell my brothers that they won't go on missions all together any longer if they should ever be separated from their mates again.
Slowly we make our way up to their house, as Alec pulls it open, we at first are surprised that they wouldn't even lock their door, but maybe they were already expecting us. With that in mind we hurry upwards where they all are cuddled up together. The only one missing is Carlisle, knowing him though, he will be here in no time.
The moment my eyes find the shy blue ones from their last found mate, my heart shutters in pain at the realization that I indeed failed my darling daughter. How am I ever going to make up for everything that had happened to her while i didn't even know of her existence.
The only thing I know for a fact, is that i for sure won't allow anyone to ever hurt my little girl ever again. Even more importantly, i will avenge my daughter and if it's the last thing i will do. Those bastards are going to pay for what they have done!
After Emmet, Rosalie, Esme along with my daughter and sweet Jasper left the room to cook something for my bambina, I turn to the Cullens. Wanting answers and if possible already yesterday!
„We haven't figured out anything new other from what we already informed you of." Edward right away exclaimed, surely knowing how much I am already itching for news to fully start with all the arising punishments.
„Instead we tried to get to know her more and get her more comfortable around us, which I think we are doing a good job in." Alice buts in. I do honestly appreciating the fact that they do their best to get my daughter comfortable around her own mates. From what my bambinis have told me, she kind of let them in rather quickly too, which surely is a sign that she indeed trusts her mates to not lead her into any harms way. Therefore she easily accepted my family along with even me. I know it must of felt strange to her for me to hug her like that, but instead of panicking or stiffening up, she accepted it and even hugged me back.
„We tried to look into some information from where she actually came from, but there is nothing about her until she suddenly appeared in the orphanage as a two year old. Did you perhaps have more luck in Phoenix directly?" Carlisle informs as well as asks Felix since he actually was there in the hope of finding anything on her and her upbringing, which also included of course that stupid bitch Rene.
„Sadly we also only found dead ends. No one knows from where she actually came from." Felix states with a shake of his head.
„Her old orphanage mother told me that she has found her in the middle of their garden in direct sunlight. She to this day has no idea how anyone could of placed her there without getting noticed. Even more so since she seemed to be well taken care of up to that point, which is why they at first thought someone surely will report her missing or even return to get her back, but no one ever came forward." he informs them of the little information he was able to find.
„The fact that she was placed in direct sunlight is either really gruesome or a perfect way of protection." Carlisle slowly says with uneasiness. Only now that small tidbit gets my full attention, since till now I haven't even thought about that part.
„You mean, someone might of tried to protect her from one of us?" Alec slowly questions in fear. Something his mates right away take notice of and hug him along with his sister even closer against them.
„Maybe, or it was a rather deranged human. This could of very painfully killed her as well, so none of those possibilities are any good." Carlisle whispers in concern and hurt that someone actually tried to kill his mate even before the other two witches came into her life.
„I will ask my brothers to look into who has been around the Phoenix area at the time she was found in the orphanage." I say and quickly pull out my phone. Angry that I haven't even thought of the possibility alone that this actually meant anything crucial!
„Marcus, take a few deep breaths. We don't know if it actually means anything and even if it does, we need to stay level headed to act accordingly to protect her to our best ability! Nothing will come from going into this out of control." Carlisle pleads with me. His hand over mine to stop me from calling my brothers before calming down at least a bit.
Slowly his words actually register in my head and let me nod in agreement. He is right, of course he is, but I can't shake the nagging feeling off, that I once again failed my daughter.
„Papa? Carlisle is right, we need you to stay calm to actually get to the bottom of what's going on. Otherwise we won't be able to protect her as well as we should." my sweet Jane softly says and hugs herself against my side, like always Alec quickly following her lead and hugging me just as tightly.
After a few minutes I feel myself relax enough to once again think straight. They are correct after all, me getting pissed won't be any help to get to the bottom of anything.
„Thank you for helping me calm down." I softly say and kiss my two oldest children on their heads before nodding my head towards Carlisle as well in appreciation.
„I am going to make that phone call now, hopefully this will help us right away." I say, once again taking my phone to call my brothers, this time however without anyone stopping me from doing so.
