Advertisement
Novalee walks through the Greek house when the sun comes up, and Marcus leaves. Nova spots a black box on a stone table type think in the living room, and she grabs it.
Novalee then searches the drawers and she finds an older key that seems to to with the box, then she sits on the couch. She pushes the key into the hole and twists it, Nova is greeted by papers but on top is a birth certificate with the same birthday as her but three years before.
"Wow," Novalee gasps as she reads Ricardo's name. "He's my brother?"
"Indeed I am," a familiar voice says as they lean against the shone doorway.
"What are you doing here, Ricardo?" Novalee asks.
"To see my biological sister, and nephew," Ricardo teases as Marcus walks back in. "The Volturi knows that Nessie's pregnant. They go when the baby's born."
"Mom, I have to go warn them," Marcus says.
'Go," Novalee urges. "I'm staying here, I need to dig through my family history."
"And she won't be alone," Ricardo says as he struts across the room, and plops down on the couch. 'I'll keep her safe. If anyone touches my sister, they're dead by my hands, Marcus. I promise."
"Mom?" Marcus inquires, ignoring the male vampire.
"Go," Novalee says. "They need a warning." She noticed the hesitance. "I'll be fine. I'll kill Ricardo easily."
Ricardo smirks at his sister as Marcus finally ups and leaves. Both vampires listen as the heartbeat slowly disappears. "Anyways... Hello, sister."
"Can you tell me anything?" Novalee asks as she leans forward. "About our family? I know nothing. Mother wouldn't tell me anything."
"My guess is father wouldn't either," Ricardo says. "I had to live with our grandparents until they sent you off when you were fifteen." He sighs. "Do you have any blood?"

"Blood bags in the chest near my window in my room," Novalee replies.
Ricardo flashes off and he's back with two blood bags, he tosses one to his sister. "Dad worked a lot. It was terrible." He opens the blood bag and takes a sip from the straw piece. "He was mean, too, abusivo when he was drunk. He drank a lot there toward the end before he and mom... died."
"Only dad didn't wake up a vampire," Novalee says. "He ended up buried, unlike mother."
"I kind of turned mother," Ricardo admits. "I couldn't lose her."
"I understand, I would have too," Novalee replies. "I never knew she even died."
"I don't get why they made you leave, no matter how your friends were," Ricardo says as he places in leg over the other. "Mine were way worse, and they took me in after you left. I member really knew of you until you were already gone. Mother showed me pictures."
"So you knew who I was in the woods back in Forks, didn't you?" Novalee asks, Ricardo nods. "Of course you did."
"You should make a Facebook account," Ricardo suggests. "Add me."
Novalee smiles. "Show me how?"
Ricardo walks over and he sits beside his sister, hanging her a newer model iPad. He downloaded the Facebook and messenger apps for Nova.
"I had internet installed before mother brought you and Marcus," Ricardo says. "I hope you know I have nothing against you, or my nephew. I just had orders."
"I know," Novalee says as her brother sets her a Facebook account up, and her new profile picture is it the two of them. "We look alike when we are side by side."

"Agreed," Ricardo says as Novalee gets sudden friend requests from each of the Cullens, and the pack members along with Marcus and Renesme. "We were born twins, mother just separated us."
"And now look," Novalee sighs as she locks the iPad up, "both of us... Vampires."
Ricardo sighs. "I wish I could have known about you sooner. If I did, I wouldn't have ever went to Aro."
"I'm sure," Novalee replies. "Are you team Cullen?"
"Sis, I'm team you," Ricardo says. "Team Morningstar."
Novalee Hale smiles at her twin brother, and Ricardo continues telling stories about the Morningstar family from Athens.

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
