"I know it is but I really don't want Edward or anyone in this family to get hurt because of me...including Nessie & Bella." Crystal knew that if Edward, Bella, Nessie or any1 else in her family got hurt she would want to be ripped apart because she wouldn't no couldn't deal with that.

Renesmee stood silently while her family argued with Crystal, who was apparently her aunt. Things got so out of hand that Jacob had to leave the room, which worried Renesmee. Although she was indestructible, she knew Jacob did not want to phase in front of her in fear that she might get hurt.
There weren't words to describe how confused Renesmee was. Apparently Crystal left the family some years ago, long before her birth, and was now trying to come back into the fold. It was nerve-racking because Renesmee was one to protect her family in any way she could. But Crystal was a total stranger that she didn't know.
Daddy, do we trust her? she asked in thought, hoping her father would hear her soft voice.

Crystal glanced at Nessie and she immediately saw the beauty in her (Nessie) that deffinitley came from being the daughter of Edward & Bella. Out of the whole entire family she really had hoped that Nessie would come to trust her because well she is her niece after all. As she waited to her what Esme had to say about the vision that she (Crystal) had last night she thought about what her life was like before she had left the family some odd years ago. It bothered her that she ended up picking Will instead of her family because before he did what he did she actually did love him. Now she hated and despised Will, she would never go back to him after what he had done around and in front of her. She also hated how much she had betrayed her family many years ago. I am sorry for betraying you and the rest of the family, I don't blame you for not trusting in me but I don't want you, Bella, Nessie or anyone else in the family to get hurt because of me. If that happened I would rather just to be ripped to shreds.

Everyone in the room was rather tense around Crystal. Bella had always tried to keep an open mind when meeting someone new, but she could not ignore the uneasiness her family seemed to have around Crystal. Even though Bella did not understand the entire situation that caused Crystal to leave and her family to be upset with her, she knew that even Rosalie was not happy with her.
Gently, she took Edward's hand so not to startle him. She looked right at Crystal who was trying desperately to explain her side of things.
"I really don't know you Crystal, so I really can't pass judgment for your past actions. However, I trust the judgments of my family and especially Edward because he is my husband."
Bella hoped that it would make sense to Crystal that she was not going to pass judgment on her, but just trust her family.

"Thank you Bella and I'll let Edward tell if you everything if it wants to...and I bet he will". Crystal didn't know much about Bella or Nessie but she knew that they were good people. "I'm sorry If my being here has upset you or Nessie at all...I swear that I don't mean any harm", the more that Crystal talked to Bella the more she realized how nice she was.

"Thank you, I appreciate that. And I'm sure Edward will tell me everything once there is more time," she said, looking back at Edward.
It was difficult to tell, but there was something about Crystal that made Bella very unsure. Perhaps it was only because she was new. Even in her immortal life, her shyness carried over from her humanity. She was still adverse to new situations with new people. Fortunately, she had her family that was always there to help her through those times.
Edward, she thought, pushing out her shield so he could hear her, this is a very tense situation. Perhaps we should send Jake and Nessie back for a while, at least until things are a little calmer.

Edward was trying very hard to wrap his head around everything. He was trying to stay calm and wishing for Jazz at that moment. He had always trusted Alice's vision's and never questioned them, and at one time he had trusted Crystal's. Should he now, he wanted so badly to trust her again. She didn't have to ever come back and she hadn't until now. He needed to know what had changed to bring her back. He heard Crystal say that she didn't want any of them to get hurt and she was scared. He almost laughed at that. "You don't have to worry about any of us. We can take care of ourselves. We have had to fight multiple times in the past few decades. One lone vampire is no match for this family." He finally lost it and smiled a devilish grin. "We need to know exactly what Will did, that made you leave. We need all the information that you can give us and maybe them we will trust you again."
Edward heard Esme ask him to call Carlisle. He had already sent Carlisle a text to come home ASAP. "I have already send dad a text, mom. He know's what is going on here. He will be here as soon as he can." Edward knew that until then they were all going to look to him for guidance. He was after all actually the oldest next to Carlisle. Though he thought of and treated Esme as a mother, she was actually younger than him.
He heard Nessie's thoughts and simply said to her in a tone that would not alert anyone but her. "I don't know yet, Nessie." He was still trying to figure things out when he felt Bella's hand in his and heard her as she spoke. As always she would wait for him the make a decision before she acted. He knew that Bella was not happy about this situation. She didn't like the unknown even as a vampire. He then heard her thought and agreed that it would probably be a good idea to send Nessie and Jake back to the cottage. "Nessie, why don't you and Jake go back to the cottage while we get things straitened out here." He said to her and turned to make sure that she obeyed.
He turned back to Crystal and looked at her in a dead serious way when he said, " Crystal, you will tell us everything right now, or so help me, I will kill you myself and then deal with Will."

Rose was still sitting in Emmett's lap listening everything being said. She was fighting herself when she heard Edwards tone and had a sudden flashback. Rose had only heard that tone come from Edward three times before in all the years that she had been immortal. First with James, then with Victoria, and last with Aro. Edward was deadly serious and meant every word that he was saying and Rose knew it. She was almost afraid to say anything, she really wanted her twin here. They needed the emotional control of Jazz right now. Rose knew that if Crystal didn't start talking Edward was going to snap. Rose needed to take the edge off of Edward. Rose jumped off Emmett's lap and in one fluid movement was in front of Crystal. So she thought to Edward, "Here comes the Rose you were expecting to see when you came home." As she spoke to Crystal, "Crystal, did you ever think to just pick up a phone and call us? Did you in all the time you were away in think about us? Did you think about how coming here would affect our life here? I swear to god that if that idiot mate of your ruins, my life I will kill him and never forgive you. When do you always have to cause me trouble?" Rose had let all the self-centeredness that she was trying to stop come out in one quick rant. When she was finished she returned to Emmett's lap and buried her face in his chest.

Renesmee heard her father tell her that it would be a good idea for her and Jacob to go back to the cottage and she agreed.
"Ok Dad, Jake and I will be out there," she said.
Jacob had left the room in his anger, so she went to find him so that they could go back to the cottage. When she found him in the other room, he was a little calmer, so they went back to wait out the situation. As they left the main house, Renesmee sent back a thought hoping her father could hear her above the rest of the voices.
I hope every thing's ok daddy.

"Hang on a second" Jacob said before they were to far from the house. he ran back inside to talk to the family, to apologize for his behavior. He walked right into the sitting room and stood where everyone could see him.. "Sorry for my over reaction, But I don't want anything messing up things between Ness and I, thirty Years I had to wait foe Bella, Ness and Ed to return. I suffered everyday of those thirty years. Now that Ness is finally home I don't want to see all the pain I went though be for nothing." Jacob spoke every word in a serious tone. Then he turned to Crystal. "Don't be thinking for one second I let you run around Forks without my pack keeping an eye on you whereabouts" Jacob did not let anyone get a word in. "NOW I am going to the cottage with Nessie" He said taking his leave once again.

Emmett sat there in the chair with Rosalie in his lap, listening to Esme, Crystal, Edward and Bella talk. He was surprised when Edward used a serious tone with Crystal. He only heard that tone with only three people, Aro, Victoria, and James. Emmett couldn't blame him for using that tone with her either. She might be their sister, but Emmett didn't care about being her 'twin' brother. He knew that Rosalie was loosing herself and going back to old Rosalie. He had missed his old Rosalie but he also like the new Rosalie.
He watched as she walked got up from his lap and went to Crystal's side. Without saying a word, he watched as she brought her self-centered Rosalie back. He was waiting for the day to come when Rosalie brought her old self back. Despite being in serious atmosphere, Emmett laughed on the inside and sighed. Hope you like the old Rose for a sec, Ed. I'm sorry but I really gotta laugh. I really missed the old self-centered Rose. But I can't choose between them, because I like my Rose just the way she is. He thought to Edward but mostly to himself as he leaned back in the chair.
When Rosalie came back to his lap and burried her face in his cheat, Emmett smiled. "You know how much I missed the old Rose? I was waiting for you to bring the old Rose back and it finally happed. And it's okay, don't worry about. Alteast you didn't bite her." He joked trying to calm her down. Using his fingers, he tilted Rosalie's head and kissed her forehead. "You did the right thing." Emmett whispered as Jacob entered the room.
He listened to what Jacob had to say and smiled at him. "Jake, there's no need to apologize. I understand why you acted that way." Emmett would have done the same thing if Rosalie went away for thirty years and returns. Why don't you and Nes go on a date or something. He thought to Jacob as he left.

Once outside, Renesmee was able to breathe. She hated conflict in her family as it created so much tension. Notably, Jacob seemed to have calmed down a lot since they left the main house. It was just better that the two of them left to let the rest of the family deal with Crystal, who was apparently her aunt. Even her loving, teddy bear of an uncle, Emmett, seemed to be upset with her. That sent up a red flag in Renesmee's mind. There was something obviously very wrong there.
As they walked, Jacob still wasn't saying much. That worried Renesmee greatly as Jacob was the talkative type.
"Jake, are you alright?" she asked, very concerned.

Jacob had calmed down since he felt the Mansion. He still had a lot of thoughts and feeling buzzing around inside of him. There was no way he was going to let Crystal move around Forks freely without someone keeping their eyes on her if is had to be him so be it, he would give up his precious time with Renesmee to make sure if Will was to appear he would not even step foot hear the Cullens' Mansion. "Ness, I'm great" Jacob said with a smile. He could see that she looked worried so he tied to make the conversation pick up. "Ready for our first day at school? "

Even though he insisted he was alright, Renesmee still didn't believe him, but he changed the subject anyways. School was starting in a few days. It would be Renesmee's first time in a public high school as she had been educated by her parents until now. Going to school was not an option as a child because the changes she went through were far too obvious and too quick for any normal child. And then the moved to London, so school just was never a priority until now.
"I don't know," she replied. "I'm kind of nervous in a way, I guess. I've never been to a public school before, so it will be a different experience for me. Dad says it's not too bad the first go around, so it should be fun for me."
Although she was nervous, there was an air of excitement of actually getting to go to school and meet some new people. Her entire life, Renesmee had been fairly sheltered and kept within her family, which she had not minded because she loved her family dearly, but it would be fun to meet some new people.
"Dad says he wants me to try everything since it's my first time in high school, including something he called Prom," Renesmee made a confused face. She had no clue what Prom even was, but had an inclination that Jacob did.
