Chapter 3
-
“Where is Bella? I heard Fred was coming home with her tonight?” Asked Esme as she and her husband, Carlisle along with her two adoptive sons, Jasper and Emmett, entered their home. She was quite confused. School ended an hour ago for her children with the exception of Jasper and Emmett as they took a day out of school. It was impossible that Bella went home early. Esme knew she liked staying at their house. She was quite excited to cook for Fred’s human girlfriend.
“I took Bella home Esme. George was starting to lose control.” Fred said as he sat down on the couch besides Rosalie and Edward. Fred gave his twin an apprehensive look which went unaware by George who was engrossed in his book with a small smile.
The book George was reading was suddenly out of his grip, floating in mid-air. This snapped the younger twin out of his trance, playfully glaring at Fred.
“Stop that Fred, and no I won’t tell you.” George reprimanded. The older twin grimaced at the response he received. The book slammed to the ground as Fred was no longer using his power.
George was mentally singing the alphabet, not allowing his twin nor Edward to read his thoughts. Fred found it quite weird, they never really hid anything from each other, that including his twin’s despise and bloodlust towards his very much human girlfriend.
Rosalie cringed as she inhaled her brother’s scent. Fred reeked of the bitch. Bella Swan’s scent could rival to the mutt’s wet dog scent. She couldn’t understand why they shouldn’t just kill the girl or give her up to Victoria, who was hell bent on killing the brunette. She could get the job done for them.
Both sides would benefit, Victoria can finally get her revenge on the human, while the Cullens can finally live in peace well except for Fred who’d probably be mourning, but he’ll get over that! No more stupid humans in the family, no more alliance and mingling with the mutts to protect a human girl, and no more reasons for the Volturi to kill them. She did not want her head or any of her family’s getting ripped off by them.
It was a known fact that the Olympic coven was full of vampires with special abilities. But Aro wanted Edward, Alice, and the Twins to join his coven. He wanted to gain control over their gifts, and have more power.
Fred and George heard her thoughts. George laughed mentally at his older sister’s logic, agreeing with her while Fred bit back a scowl.
Rosalie, aware that the twins plus Edward could hear her thoughts, stood up gracefully and went beside her mate. Emmett opened his arms, he was too happy to indulge his wife in a hug. Edward and George quietly snickered at her reaction towards the scent and at her thoughts.
Carlisle looked worriedly at one of his sons, George, who was snickering. George felt his father’s gaze at him and turned his attention to Carlisle.
“Carlisle I think it’s time for a family meeting.” Alice said out of the blue, her voice unusually tight which caught the attention of the vampires.
“Is it about a vision Alice?” Asked Fred curiously, looking at her sister with concern. Alice barely glanced at her younger brother before muttering a ‘yes’, her eyes never leaving Carlisle’s figure. She was desperately trying not to think of the vision she saw, she knew Fred could easily see it thanks to his ability. Carlisle, who heard this, averted his attention from one of his twins to Alice as he signaled all of his children to gather at the living room.
Jasper looked at his mate, worried as he felt the nervousness rolling off his wife. He immediately went besides Alice and squeezed her hand. He tried helping his wife to calm down with the use of his ability. Alice felt this and gave her husband a small smile. She appreciated her husband’s efforts to calm her down.

Fred saw a dark haired boy with the brightest green eyes, eyes that were very familiar. He felt like he saw those bright emerald eyes once in his human life but he couldn’t pinpoint when and who. The boy had a thin face, his forehead was engraved with a thin scar shaped liked a bolt of lightning. The vision was quite blurry but he could manage.
The enigmatic boy was indulged in a hug by his twin, George, who was looking fondly at the human boy he had in his arms. However, Fred didn’t mind that as the green-eyed boy was smiling so brightly. He was smiling and laughing at whatever the Fred in the future said.
If Fred was still human, he could have felt his already dead heart stuttering at the bright smile and the tinkling laugh directed towards him. It was weird, the very familiar boy made him feel something he hasn’t felt in years. Even towards his supposed mate.
“That’s impossible! Bella is my mate.” Fred hissed in denial, he couldn’t believe what Alice was saying and showing. Everyone with the exemption of Rosalie and George winced at the tone, this was going to be messy.
“Fred, calm down first, then we’ll talk.” Esme softly said, they couldn’t assess the situation if he was letting his anger and denial get to him. Esme felt bad for her son, as she was also one of the people who encouraged Fred to try hanging out with the girl. Isabella would be a good partner if her son was human, but he isn’t. A vampire’s true mate is and will always be better, no matter the context.
Carlisle knows that Fred loves Bella, but she will mean nothing once Fred’s true mate shows up in the picture. Fred did mention about him still feeling the need to drain the mortal dry. Her blood calling out to the young vampire to suck on. That shouldn’t happen if she was truly his mate. ‘Isabella is Fred’s blood singer.’ Carlisle concluded.
Jasper tried sending calming waves towards his conflicted younger brother, but it didn’t work. His family’s emotions were everywhere. Jasper was starting to feel overwhelmed.
-
“The twins are sharing a mate. The boy will be arriving here in Forks soon with his family I suppose. He was with a blonde boy, a dark haired girl, and a blonde child. He will be the perfect addition to the family, even Rosalie will like the mortal.” Alice explained. Fred had already calmed down and he was a bit willing to listen to his pixie-like sister.
What shocked everyone was the fact that the twins were sharing a mate, normally this wouldn’t be a problem for the twins since they had a close relationship but Fred and George had been going on and off for the past few months. Fred’s relationship with the human girl had affected his relationship with George. Plus, vampires are very possessive creatures, they disliked the thought of sharing their mates. It’ll be rough but the twins will manage.
“Fred, do you still feel the urge to drain Bella?” Carlisle asked his son. Fred looked at his father and gave a hesitant nod. Uncertainty was apparent in his topaz eyes.
“It might be hard but Fred, you have to accept the fact that Bella is not your mate. Rather, she is your blood singer. Her blood will call out to you, it’s like a vampire’s version of heroin. No vampire would feel the urge to drain their partner.” Carlisle slowly explained to his son, who looked so lost. Carlisle truly felt bad for his son but Fred had to accept the truth.
Fred just stared at his father, his thoughts were everywhere. To the point, George couldn’t comprehend a single thought from his brother’s mind.
“What do we do with Swan then? Apparently she isn’t Fred’s mate.” Rosalie said, a bit gleeful at the fact. Isabella Swan’s blatant disrespect for mortality made Rosalie despise her even more. Rosalie would have done anything for her to become human again. Isabella had a choice, and she was choosing to become a blood sucking monster while Rosalie didn’t. She wished there was someone who could have voted ‘no’ to her turning. Granted Rosalie loves her husband, but she hadn’t still forgiven Carlisle for turning her. Isabella reminds Rosalie of what she could never have.
The immortals were quite relieved that they wouldn’t have to deal with Bella anymore, she was starting to get irritating with her want to become a vampire.
“Fred, you have to break things off with the mortal.” George muttered, looking at his twin’s sullen form. Fred diverted his attention to his twin and glared.
‘Do you think this is easy for me? I love Bella and you know I have never loved anyone like this George. But the boy in the visions is making me feel things I haven’t felt for years. I haven’t even meet our supposed mate! I don’t even know when and how I’ll be breaking the news to Bellawithout her freaking out.’ Fred snapped at his twin through their connection.
‘We’ll help you Fred, you aren’t alone in this.’ George retorted.
“I need to think Carlisle, I’ll be back.” Fred said not waiting for Carlisle to reply before standing up to leave the house.
“Let him clear his mind. It’s a lot to take.” Edward said as he patted George’s shoulder before going upstairs to his room.

The Riddle siblings plus Luna and Neville were once again in Gringotts. After their appointment yesterday, the siblings told everything to Neville and Luna as they were their most trusted friends but they also made them take an unbreakable vow to ensure their secret was secured. Draco, Hadrian and Cassi will finally meet their father and little sister. Ah! To say they were nervous was an understatement. The chances of them getting murdered is low according to the goblin but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t possible.
While waiting for them to arrive, Hadrian thought this was the perfect moment to tell his siblings and friends about what he saw.
“I saw Fred’s and George’s name in the Soulmates part of my inheritance results. They had a different last name, I think it was Cullen? And it said they were alive.” Hadrian hesitantly explained to them. Draco was just staring at him while his twin, Cassi looked at him with disbelief. He wouldn’t believe what he was saying either, but he saw it on the paper.
“It’s possible they are alive as their bodies were never found in the clearing.” Luna said at her spot where she was seating besides Neville.
“But that means that they would have been able to track them if they were alive.” Neville added in.
“We’ll talk about this later Hadrian.” Cassi firmly said. Hadrian decided to let it go, they could talk about it more later. Plus, the mention of the twins hit a sore spot in his heart. He misses his lovers, George and Fred, and would do anything for them to be here besides him. Alive and Well.

“Welcome Lord Slytherin and Lady Kalila” The head goblin, Griphook greeted a man with a little girl on hand. The siblings were able to see the interaction through the CCTV setup that was made by the goblins. So that was how their father looked like without the Glamor, he looked like he was in his twenties. He was with a little girl who they supposed was their youngest sibling. Kalila looked about 10 years-old. She had mid length blonde hair and blue sparkling eyes.
“Hello Griphook, I believe I was called here for an important emergency. May I ask what it is all about?” Tom asked with a frown, the goblins never called him unless something was missing from his vaults or if they finally found them.
“It is about your heirs and heiresses. Lord Slytherin, we have found your children!” Griphook said with a smirk.
Tom was taken back by the news, they finally found his children. But how? After getting purged, he tried everything in his power to get back his darling children and husband but it was impossible. The old coot must have done something for him to not be able to find his family.
“Daddy, I have siblings?” asked Kalila with a confused yet happy look, she wasn’t lonely anymore! Her daddy’s death eaters were very boring to play with. They were too serious and scared to do anything to make her daddy mad.
“Yes Lady Kalila, your siblings were found yesterday.” The goblin said with a grin, “Why wasn’t I informed immediately? And where are my children? Griphook?” Tom demanded, anger visibly in his eyes.
“Lord Slytherin, follow me and I will tell you the reason. Your children are already waiting for you.” Griphook said as he ushered the two to the rooms where Draco, Hadrian, and Cassi were waiting. Neville and Luna were on the other rooms, getting their inheritance tests.

The reunion between the father and his children was something. At first, Tom was alarmed to see the three siblings he was after for waiting in the room. He was quite hesitant to believe that they were his but when he saw the results of their inheritance tests, his doubts were quickly washed away.
His children had grown up, they were no longer the babies that he was taking care with his husband, James. They grew up to be very beautiful teenagers who inherited their parents breathtaking features. His oldest son was very handsome. He had platinum blond hair, bright blue eyes, and sharp features. He probably inherited that from one of James’ relatives. Tom concluded, then he averted his eyes from his oldest son to his twins. Hadrian and Cassiopeia. The twins were gorgeous. they had inherited their father’s signature black messy locks, bright green eyes that shined like emeralds and sharp facial features. His children had the perfect mixture of their parents.
Tom couldn’t believe that he finally found his children. He could see his children’s nervousness as he looked at them. They were no doubt scared and nervous.
Kalila, apparently was done with the dramatics and had ran to launch herself to one of her brother’s arms, Hadrian’s arms to be exact. She hugged him tightly, she couldn’t believe she had siblings.
Hadrian looked at the young girl with wide eyes before slowly reciprocating the hug to the little one. The little girl then demanded Cassi and Draco to join the group hug, they hesitantly did their younger sister’s request.
“Come on, Daddy!” Kalila exclaimed, beckoning their father to come closer and to join the group hug.
Tom smiled at his youngest antics, and went over to his children and hugged them. His grip was tight, like they were going to disappear once again if he doesn’t hold on tightly. He could feel the tears well in his eyes, he dearly missed his children. He would do anything to prevent the same circumstance from happening to separate him from his darling children.
-
“How did all of this happen?” Draco asked, still quite nervous but he was happy nonetheless. Draco had Kalila in his lap as she talked cheerfully to Cassi and Hadrian. They finally found their father. They were going to become a family again.
“Draco, I believe the coot has something to do with it.” Muttered Tom darkly, he was starting to get angry once again with the meddling coot. How dare that man do this to his family? but the presence of his four children soothed his anger as he saw how his eldest son, and twins interacted with the youngest Riddle sibling.
