The True History of the Cullen Family

Father Figure

Aro found Jacquelyn sitting outside in the gardens, mainly near the spot where she, Gus, and Minerva had done their spellcasting a few days earlier. The other two were resting in Jasper's room; the spellcasting had taken its toll on them and they needed to rest before they could plot their next move.

Aro said, "I trust that you find everything in here to your liking?"

"Why do you care?" Jacquelyn snapped at him. "I know what you want, and you'll be getting it from my cold dead hands."

"Not exactly," Aro laughed as he went to sit next to a huge tree that was in the middle of the garden. "You have given up your humanity for your friends. That doesn't seem like a wise choice, now doesn't it?"

"What are you playing at?" Jacquelyn snapped again.

"I have come to admire you, a bit more than I should, Miss Jacquelyn-Claire Alexandra Ulrich," Aro said. "I do have a long history of pursuing young women such as yourself, mainly for indulging in the pleasures of the flesh." Jacquelyn glared at him. "It has been nearly two centuries since I last had a woman as a pet," he continued, "and I will admit that when I first saw you, I wanted you for myself. But unfortunately, Jasper had to claim you as his pet. Why did you become his pet?"

"Why indeed," Jacquelyn snapped.

"Surely you are to be more than his pet," said Aro as he motioned for the girl to sit next to him. "Why must all the pretty ones reject me?"

"You're crazy, that's why," Jacquelyn said.

"Crazy?" Aro laughed. "Is that what they're calling it now? That, I don't approve."

"But what if it's true?" Jacquelyn cried out.

"Indeed," said Aro. "They know nothing. As for you, you have nothing to worry about; I've already gotten a new pet for Jasper. This one isn't too broken for him. She'll do nicely, once I have Daniel remove her memories."

Jacquelyn shook her head; there was no way that she was going to be Aro's mistress, not since she had already handed herself over to Jasper. What was he going to say when he found out that Aro was trying to steal his pet?

(I know you're all saying "Hey, where's Leah and the wolves? What about the Nomads? We hardly saw much of Carlisle Cullen. What's going on here?"

Not to worry, I have plans to incorporate them all into the story, seeing as Carlisle was the first member of his coven to be bitten and turned. Therefore, he shall return and seek the Volturi. But whether or not Aro will actually welcome him will be a different story.

As for Leah, she will find out that far from being normal Native Americans, the Quileute tribe are actually shapeshifters who have apparently forgotten the magical part of their past. After all, Billy and Emily weren't attacked for no reason.

Plus, the Annoying Nomads are just being their usual annoying selves, so nothing exciting for them yet.

And we really can't have Bella Swan be with Jacob Black, or can we? Not to worry, as Edward Cullen will show up and get her. The Twilight Saga can't happen without them!

In the next chapter, several people return from their graves and weak havoc on those who killed them and a long-dead mother seeks her missing daughter. Jacquelyn's biggest secret will be revealed and Jasper gets a new pet, one that he doesn't want.)
