Skin Deep Chapter 12

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to animegirlkiki for betaing.

Embry P.O.V
She looked at me shocked. Her mouth open like a fish out of water.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, “ she said with a shrug. She began to chop her vegetables again. She was lying so bad right now.
“Cut the crap mom, I know Billy is my dad. “ I said.
“Embry that is such a horrible thing to say! “ she said... She continued to cook dinner for us. I had already eaten with Gloria but since when have I had a full stomach. “Honestly Billy Black your father, “ she laughed. “I know you and Jake are like brothers but saying stuff like that will be taken the wrong way. “
“It’s not horrible it’s the truth! “ I said walking forward to talk to her.
“Okay, where’s your proof? “she asked. “What do you have that could possibly hint that Billy is my father. “
“Because when I first phased Sam and the others were confused. See I was from Makah, Makahs don’t turn into wolves Quileute’s do, only a Quileute man could have passed on the gene to me. It could have only been Billy Black, Quil Atera Jr., or Joshua Uley. “
“That’s all very interesting but have you forgotten all the wolves running around now? Unless you are accusing Billy Black of fathering all those kids too? “
“Billy, Joshua and Quil were the only ones who were old enough to have fathered me at the time. “
“That is a very loose theory at best Embry, “ she said. “That still doesn’t explain why you are convinced Billy is your father. “
“Because that night when I and Sara announced our engagement someone over heard you and Billy talking. “
Her face stiffened. “And what did they hear? “
“They heard you and him talking about me and her, they heard the whole thing! “
“And you trust this person? You trust them enough to believe such lies! “
That made me hesitate. Why should I trust Jamie? How do I know he was not lying? He was a psychopath. He killed Alex.
But he killed Alex because she was going to kill Esme and Leah. Alex had been human. But she had been hurt badly by a vampire. We had to give her an emergency blood transfusion and Sam being her cousin gave her the blood. The result was unexpected. She turned into a wolf. But it was wrong. She could not phase as quickly and it was very painful for her. Soon the wolf blood began to drive her crazy.
She attacked Esme and Leah and would have killed them had Jamie not snapped her neck. He had a lot of mental issues but if there was one thing you could say about him was he was honorable. He always kept his word. He never lied. At least out right. He may omit the truth but if you ask him a question he will give you an answer, no matter how horrible or ugly the truth. To say he was blunt as hell was an understatement of the millennia. He always said lying was beneath him, I believed him. Trust him? No, believe him? Yes. Messed up I know.
“Yes, I trust him. Plus when I first made the comment about Billy being my dad you looked like you had seen a ghost. Face it mom, I know the truth. “
“There is not truth this is just a big misunderstanding! “ she yelled.
“Then tell me who my father is! If Not Billy Black who the hell is my father? I want to know! “
“Embry please don’t do this, “ she begged rubbing her face with her hand.
“No! Tell me the truth! Is Billy Black my father? “ I screamed.
“Yes! Yes he is your father! “ she cried.
Silence filled the kitchen, only her soft sobs filled the air.
So it was true. Jacob is my brother, Rachel and Rebecca are my sister and Billy is my father. I finally know the truth. I had been so hell bent on finding out the truth and now I know it. So why do I feel so empty.
“Thanks mom, glad you finally told the truth, “ I said.
“Embry wait it’s not what you think! “ mom called.
I ignored her and went to my room. I slammed the door and locked it. I heard her come up and began to slam on the door. “Embry please, let me explain! “
“Go away! “ I shouted.
I was so mad. I felt like I was about to phase. I began to breathe in and out, in and out. Trying to calm myself down.
I picked up my phone and began to dial a number. I didn’t even know who I was calling, it was all reflex. It wasn’t until I was about to hit dial I realized it was Sara’s number. Or at least the number she had when she lived in Alaska.
I looked at the phone confused and put it down. I was so angry right now. I needed someone to talk to. Not Gloria, she wouldn’t understand. But I needed someone, someone to comfort me, someone to listen to me. Why did I want to call Sara?
For the first time since she left I missed her. My heart wished she was here. Before I realized it I cried. Why I don’t know. A single tear ran down my cheek. I felt like I had lost something and didn’t even know it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helen P.O.V
I tried to get Embry to open the door but he would not.
I gave up and went back down to the kitchen. There was only one thing left to do now. I grabbed the phone from the wall and dialed a number.
It rang a few times and finally someone answered.
“Hello? “ a female voice asked. It was Rachel.
“Hello Rachel, is Billy home? “ I asked. Poor girl, she had no idea what was about to happen. That her life was about to change. She had been so close to her mother, what she was about to learn would change everything she knew.
“Yes, one second. “
I heard her call his name. A second later he answered. “Hello? “
“Billy, it’s me. He knows. “ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alec P.O.V
We walked back to the party.
It was still in full swing by the time we arrived back. Aro greeted us as we entered. “Ah, Alec Sara! Were did you go? I was starting to worry. “ He waved a finger at me. “What kind of mischief have you been up to this time young man? “there was no real reproach in his voice though.
“Sorry if we made you worry Aro, I just had to get out and away from everyone, “ Sara said.
“Oh I wasn’t worried, what with my number one guard with you and all. “ he beamed at me.
I smiled at Aro. I had come a long way from being a sad poor little boy ridiculed and reviled by his village to one of the most powerful vampires in the world.
Had I still been capable I would be blushing right now. I still was not used to all the praise Aro gave me. You’d think after all these years I would be used to it.
All the more reason to win Sara over. I have dreamed of having my own throne for years. Power is the only way we can be happy. Me and Jane we never had power as children and we were miserable. Now as vampires we were the most powerful and we had never been happier.
But once I have that throne I will have everything, money, power, love, family. Things men greater then me sought their whole lives and never got what they wanted.
“Thank you Alec for looking after her for me, “ Aro said. “I can always depend on you and your sister. “
“You give us too much credit Aro, “ Jane said appearing by his side.
“Credit where credit is do dear one. “
“Alec, you naughty boy, what have you been up to with the new girl? “ Jane asked giving me a smile.
“Nothing like that sister, merely showing Sara our fair city, “ I said. Jane knew what I was doing. She made sure no one followed us. Jane can be really persuasive when she wants. “And he was a perfect gentlemen. “ Sara said giving me a warm smile.
I smiled at her. She was truly a beautiful girl. She was truly honest and compassionate. I felt some pity for her. Compassion and the Volturi do not go hand in hand.
“Well come now Sara, there are a few more guests I want you to meet before the party ends, “ Aro said extending his hand.
Sara sighed and took it. “Alright, thank you again Alec, I hope we can spend more time together later. “ she said.
“It would be my pleasure. “ I said giving her a bow.
Aro and her left leaving me and Jane alone. “Pretty slick move you pulled there Alec.”
I turned and saw Felix and Corin behind me. They were both frowning at me. “No fair using your power like that! “Corin said.
“You’re one to talk Corin, “ I said remembering that poem he gave her earlier. Everyone was affected by it. Corin was unable to narrow the power of his voice on a single person. When he spoke everyone who heard his voice would be affected by his power.
“Remember, all is fair in love and war. “
“Fair? How is it fair? You damn special vampires using you powers to help win this game! “ Felix growled.
“Hate the game not the player. “ I smirked.
“I’m surprised everyone is getting along so well, “ Jane said changing the subject.
“Yes they are getting along better then I expected all these nomads and wild vampires, I figured it would be a war zone in here in a matter of minutes, “ Corin said.
“It’s Chelsea, “ Felix said. He pointed to a balcony where Chelsea and Afton stood. Chelsea had her hood up so we could not see her face. “She’s using her power to keep things civil. It’s taking everything she’s got to do it. That’s why her hood is up; she doesn’t want everyone to see how hard it is for her. “
“I heard Aro tried using her on Sara when he first went to gather her, you know the routine. Well she sense what she was doing and fought back, “ Jane said.
“Impressive, maybe there is more to the little thing then meets the eyes. “ Corin said. “She’s perfect for me, “ Felix said with a smirk.
“How do you figure that? “I asked sarcastically.
“Easy. She is small and petite, I am tall and strong. She is beautiful, I am handsome. I am a powerful man; she is a submissive girl, just like how I like them. “
Jane glared at him. Like our mother she hated chauvinism. “Don’t forget she has brains and you don’t. “
“And she has a power…and you don’t, “ I added cruelly.
“Powers don’t make you a good leader boy! “ he growled.
“No. Skill, intellect, cleverness. Things you lack. “ I said.
“You think you have a chance? I doubt she is the kind of girl who likes her men younger then her, “ he smiled.
I glared at him and Jane hissed. Felix tensed and there would have been a fight had it not been for Corin.
“Easy now guys, Aro will have a fit if we cause a disturbance tonight, “ he said.
His words were soothing and full of caution. He was using his power but he was right. Aro would be most displeased if we caused a scene tonight.
“Come Alec; let’s go decide the design for your soon-to-be-throne. “Jane said.
She took my head and we left them there. I tried not to let his insult get to me, but the age thing was a sore spot for both me and Jane. Many a time I had tried to pursue a female vampire only to be rejected because they found my physical age to disturbing to do anything physical with.
“Don’t get mad, “ I told myself. “Get sadistic. “
I grinned to myself, already coming up with ways to make him pay for his indiscretion. People think that I am the nice twin. Because I am quiet and cool and collected. They are mistaken.
It’s always the quiet ones you must beware…always. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sara P.O.V
Finally after four hours the party was over.
I walked to my room followed by Heidi. My room was packed with all the gifts the guests got me. “My god that was tiresome! “ I said. “My ring has been kissed so many times tonight it’s been worn down. “
“At least you got lots of pretty gifts, “ she said as she wore the fur coat Felix made for me. I gave her anything fur. I may be a horrible vegan but that doesn’t mean I have to drop all my beliefs.
“So see anyone that caught your interest? “ she asked.
“I found lots of them to be interesting but not someone I would date, “ I said.
“I saw you come back with Alec, what was that about? “ she asked.
“I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and he helped me get out and get some fresh air, “ I said. “Really? How gentlemanly of him, “ she said with a smile.
“Not like that, “ I laughed. “He was truly a gentleman. He told me all about him and his sister and how they became vampires. “
“Seems like only yesterday they joined us. Aro brought them back all black and charred. He was hoping we could treat them and keep them alive long enough for them to grow a few more years older. “
“What why? If they were badly burned as you say they would have been bed ridden. “ “Because they were so young. Aro didn’t want them to be that young forever. But they were slowly dying and he turned them. He had no choice. They’ve been his favorites ever since. Well until a few days ago. “ she winked at me.
“I doubt Aro has me in such high regard, “ I said.
“Are you kidding? He hasn’t been this excited about someone joining us like this since the twins. And even then he wasn’t this thrilled, “ she said.
“Why? What’s so special about me? “ I asked.
“You’re the last link he has to his sister. You remember his speech. He loved her. Everyone loved her. If you mix mother Teresa, with the virgin Merry you begin to approach what she was like…or at least that’s what I have been told. She died long before I joined. Plus your power, after giving Chelsea a run for her money Aro is telling everyone who will listen how his niece took on one of his best. “
I looked away; suddenly interested in a painting I had received that had been painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. “I hope he isn’t. Last thing I want is for people to think I am some super vampire. “
“Well you definitely don’t have one admirer. Chelsea is positively pissed you over powered her, “ Heidi smiled.
“Great just what I need. “ I said.
“You also need to be careful with Jane. “
“Alec's sister? “ I asked.
“Yes. Don’t let her looks fool you. She is a sadistic little beast. Her power is even worse. You do not want to be on the receiving end of it. “
“What did I do to her? “ I asked. I had barely even talked to her since I have been here. Did I say or do something?
“You took her place. “
“Huh? “ okay, now I was confused.
“Jane is really...territorial when it comes to being the first in Aro's affections. She knows Aro values her and her brother so much because of their power. Now here you come with a power more potent then either of theirs and Aro is doting on you like you’re his most favorite niece in the world. Add the fact Alec is warming up to you and trust me you’ll see past her angelic face and see her claws come out. “
I gulped. I remember a conversation me and Kate had once. We were talking about the Volturi. She told me about Jane. She spoke of her like she was a monster. When I asked her to describe her I laughed when she told me what she looked like.
“Seriously Kate? She sounds like the little girl next door. “ I laughed.
Kate looked at me and it was a serious look. “I am not joking Sara. If God ever forbids you should meet this girl run. She can do what I can do only she can do it with a single look and it hurts a lot more. “
“But being able to cause people pain doesn’t make you a monster Kate, you can hurt people but you aren’t a monster, “ I said.
“Your right. It’s not being able to hurt people that makes you a monster. It’s being able to and doing it just because you think its fun. “ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Embry P.O.V
We sat at the Blacks.
Me, mom, Billy (A.K.A DAD) Jacob and Rachel sat in the living room.
Jake looked angry. Rachel had unshed tears in her eyes. Mom had her hand to her mouth. Billy looked solemn. I was silent. Mom had come up to my room and told me to get dressed, that we were going to the Black’s.
I dressed and the car ride had been silent. Billy met us at the door and he looked at me with new eyes. I can’t say what was in them. But they were different from the way he usually looked at me.
We walked in and found Jake and Rachel waiting for us. Rachel was confused, wondering what was going on. Jake figured it out. With the situation and me and my mom coming he knew before a word was said.
Then Billy and my mom explained to us all that Billy was my dad. That I was conceived on a trip he made to La Push. It was not a planned meeting or a planned conception. So here we all stood, letting it all sink in. Letting the bonds that once formed a strong proud family slowly be dissolved by lies and deceit.
“How could you! “ Rachel asked. “How could you do this dad? “
“Rachel sweetie, “ Billy began.
“No! Don’t you dare try and comfort me, not now! “she said.
“Please I can explain, “ Billy said.
“Explain what? “ Jake asked angrily. “That you cheated on mom? That she died believing a lie, believing you loved her. “
“Don’t you ever say that again! “ Billy shouted. I fought the urge to jump. I had never heard Billy yell like that. Especially at Jake. “I loved your mother! “
“You have a funny way of showing it, “ Jake sneered.
“Billy, they need to know, “mom said.
“What there’s more? “ I asked.
“We can’t tell them, “ Billy said shaking his head.
“Tell us what! “ Jake yelled standing up. His lips were pulled back into a snarl; his hands were balled into fists. His body was shaking.
I was standing up to mincing him. “What else are you keeping from us? “ I demanded.
“Billy please, they have to know, “ mom said.
“I can’t Helen, I can’t. “
“Fine then I will. “ She stood up and faced us. “She knew Sarah always knew Embry was Billy’s. “
Rachel joined us standing. She was not a she wolf like Leah but she made a good impression of one. “She knew! She died knowing you betrayed her! You were her friend Helen! She talked about you all the time! You were like her sister! How could you do that to her! “
“You don’t understand, Sarah knew Embry was Billy’s because she was there when he was conceived. “
“WHAT! “ we yelled. What the hell was she talking about? Sarah was there?
Billy hid his face behind his hands, mom looked embarrassed and flustered, like she was about to reveal a dirty secret.
“You see…almost a year after you were born Jake me, Sarah and Billy were visiting for a wedding of a friend of ours. Remember Rachel? They left you to be looked after by your grandfather? “
“Yes. They were gone all day and night, “ she said.
“Sarah had just gotten over a bad relationship, “ Billy said next. “After the wedding we went with her back to her house. We were already tipsy from the wedding and we were young and things happened. “
“Young! Dad you and mom were in your thirties! “ Jake said.
“Just because you reach a certain age doesn’t mean you lose your sex drive son. “ Billy said.
“This is bullshit! You are both lying! Mom would never try anything like that! She blushed when ever you told her how beautiful she was dad! “
“Rachel, remember after that day I didn’t call or talk to your mother for a while? “ mom asked.
“Yes, mom was confused. You wouldn’t call her back. “
“I didn’t call because I learned I was pregnant. I was ashamed. I was afraid. Afraid Sarah and Billy would hate me, afraid they would blame me for everything. But then I realized I needed help. I couldn’t raise a baby by myself. I called Sarah up and told her. I thought she would hate me…I was wrong. “ she wiped her eyes.
“They told me together. To say I was shocked was an understatement. We quickly moved her to La Push. We told everyone she didn’t want to name the father, everyone knew her and Sarah were friends so they didn’t ask questions. We all promised to keep it a secret until you all got older…but then Sarah died and we couldn’t tell you then, “ Billy said sadly.
“How could we? “ mom asked. “We always go on about the importance of marriage, to respect your vows, to stay true to your spouse. After all these years of preaching that how could we tell you the truth? “ mom looked at me with pained eyes. “How could I tell you, you were the result of a drunken three way? “
Well she kind of had a point there. I mean in a way it was better then being the result of an affair…is it still an affair if the wife was there and encouraged it?
“I didn’t want you to think badly of your mother, “ Billy said. There were tears in his eyes. “We were all willing, we were all consenting, and we were all more then a little drunk. I couldn’t bear the thought of you learning the truth and thinking her perverse or horrible for what we did together. “
“You really expect us to believe that? “ I asked. “After all this time, after all the shit we have gone through you didn’t think we could handle this? “I asked. “I’m sorry but I don’t buy it, this is to far fetched, how do we know this isn’t a lie? “
Jacob and Rachel nodded.
Billy sighed. “Helen, in my room under my bed there is a box. Could you please fetch it for me? “
Mom got up and went into Billy’s room. She came back out with a wooden box. She handed it to Billy and he opened it and pulled out some pictures. He handed me one. It was a picture of mom holding me. Billy and Sarah stood next to her, smiling down at me. “Look on the back. “
I turned the picture around and found hand writing. It was very effeminate. It said. Welcome to our family Embry, I hope you like the name I picked out for you-Sarah. I handed it to Jake and Rachel. “What does this prove? You could have written this mom. “
“Embry Sarah was the one who named you. It was after her favorite soap star, she helped me the entire time. Her and Billy. “
“I still can’t believe this mom it’s too...bizarre!” I said trying to figure out the right word. “Seriously mom would never do anything like this! “ Rachel said.
Billy sighed. “I wish I didn’t have to do this. He picked out a few pictures from the box and held them up for us to see. What I saw made my face flush.
The first pic showed a younger mom, Billy and Sarah. They were all in various states of undress. In the first pic Billy was kissing Sarah. Then he showed us the next pic where he was kissing mom. The next pic showed…Sarah and mom kissing.
We stared at the pictures with shock. Our mouths hung open in disbelief. “If you need more proof I have more photos if you need more convincing, “ Billy said with a smirk.
“What are doing with those? “ Mom said. “I thought you tossed those! “ her face was beat red.
“Well after Sarah died I knew the day might come when we needed to prove our side of the story. Plus I am a single lonely man…it was a great night too. “ he winked at her and she covered her face.
“So…you and mom had a drunken night with Helen, she got pregnant with Embry and you didn’t want people to know because of how…messed up the circumstances were you kept it a secret and when mom died you didn’t want to tell us because you were afraid it would make us feel hate or disgust towards her? “ Rachel asked.
“Yes. I know it’s still a lot to take in; maybe we should have told you sooner. But with you going through the wolf thing and the vampires and all the other mess that have been going on we didn’t think it was a good idea at the time, “ Billy said.
“Embry I’m sorry this had to happen, “ mom said. “But I always made sure you were close to Billy and Jake. Always. You had a father sweetie; you just didn’t know he was there with you. “
“Remember all those times you spent the night? “Billy asked. “All the times you came hunting, or fishing, or just watched T.V? Didn’t you ever wonder why I had you over here even when Jake wasn’t home? I wasn’t trying to fill a void Embry; I was trying to be there the best I could for you. “
He was right. I had always considered Billy like a dad. He was always there for me. Always teaching me how to be a man, always playing sports with me. Always there to give me important man to man talks. Even the birds and the bees bit.
We all sat down, at a loss for words. I still felt angry, but I didn’t know what about. I mean Sarah knew, she wasn’t betrayed. Hell if it wasn’t for her knowing Billy and my mom I would be here.
I guess I was just frustrated. All these years thinking my paternity was something sordid. Instead it was just...really, really bizarre. I don’t really now how to feel.
“I need a drink, “ Rachel said getting up.
“Me two, “ Jake said.
“Me three, “ I said.
She went into the kitchen and got some whiskey and poured us three shots. We drank them and the liquid burned my throat. “You don’t hate us do you? “ Billy asked.
We looked at them then each other. “Right now I don’t know how to feel. All these years thinking my paternity was something shameful and instead I find out it isn’t as big a deal as I feared. “
“I’m shocked, “ Rachel said. “I guess I didn’t know my mom as well as I thought. “ “That’s why we didn’t want to tell you. “ mom said. “Sarah was a great woman, kind and caring. What happened between the three of us was unexpected and unplanned but it happened. We were all consenting adults and we were having a good time and it just…happened. “
“It didn’t happen again did it? “ Jake asked.
“No, “ Billy said. “That night was the only time we took another into our bed. I worried at first it would drive a wedge between me and your mother but it did not. She merely laughed and said she was the one who kissed Helen first…though I can’t remember who started it. “
“Please, “ Jake said holding up a hand. “No details. “
“Please don’t think badly of Sarah, “ mom begged. “So what she had a three way with your father and another woman. She still loved you, still cared for you; she is still the woman you always knew. She just did something you never expected of her is all. “
“It’s just so…unbelievable. I don’t know what to think know. But I know I don’t love her any less for it. She knew what she was doing, it didn’t drive her and dad apart so I guess I’m cool with it, “ Rachel said.
“I’m just happy mom didn’t die thinking you cheated on her, “ Jake said.
“I’m just happy I’m not the result of an affair, “ I said.
Jake smiled at me. “Tell me about it, brother. “
We banged our fists together. Rachel hugged me and welcomed me into the family. “I always wanted a baby brother, guess I finally have one now, “ Jake smiled.
We all laughed. All the anger and resentment was leaving me. The whole thing was turning out better then anyone could have expected.
I can’t wait to tell Sara. She is going to be so…oh yeah…that’s right.
