(Hi everyone! This first chapter was written by me and my BFF Miranda! And, we'll also be writing this whole story together. So yeah, just wanted to give her credit, cause she ah-mazing like that. Oh and this morning, I looked into the mirror and saw myself, Monique. Not Stephenie Meyer, the lady who wrote the Twilight Saga.)
Lira sat in a small store in Port Angeles. Her and Mia's family had recently moved here to open business. Blue eyes darted around, then finally came to rest on a newspaper ad. The Ad read:
Wanted: Two assistants for Fork's Hospital Doctors. Minimal experince required, and must be eager to work.
(How they'll meet Carlisle and rest of family)
"Maybe we could get a job here, this one looks good? What'cha think?" Her voice near silent, but still loud enough to be heard.
"Sure, no use signing up though. We have our own resumes," Mia said playfully. Lira rolled her eyes. They were both special, they had very useful, dangerous if misused powers. Mia had the power of telepathic suggestion, or controlling one's mind. Although it had it's limits, the person/animal had to be within seeing and hearing range. And, if the person was concentrating hard enough, Mia's power wouldn't work. Lira had the powers of appearance manipulation and invisibility. Today she had pretty blue eyes and pale skin.
"Mia," Lira whispered tentively. "You know we have to be careful here. Too much mind controlling and people will get suspicious. I don't want to move again," She added with a frown.
"I was just kidding, I know how to be careful. If I wanted, we wouldn't even need jobs. I would just "suggest" to that lady to give me all the money she has saved in her bank," Mia gestured to a gallantly dressed woman, with a huge diamond ring, and gold jewelry. "We could be set for life if we wanted to. But unfortunately, I have a conscience," Mia added jokingly. "And yes, I think it would be great to have a job here. I'd always wanted to play doctor,"
Lira frowned, "I can already tell this is going to end badly." Mia snorted.
"Optimisum much?" Mia retorted, twisting a black lock in her fingers, whilst her friend shook her head. They walked, more like frolicking for Mia, to Lira's silver lotus. The drive was short.
"Small towns, how I hate you so." Lira remarked, exiting the vehicle with fluid grace. Mia rolled her eyes, the smile still glued on her face. Both girls, however they showed, were excited.
Mia gazed appreciatively at the house, and mentally complimented herself and Lira for finding such a beautiful, simple house. It was yellow, with a flowers on the windowsills, and a small mirror-like pond in the backyard.
"Anyone around?" asked Lira. Mia closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment. She couldn't read minds, only control them, but she knew when minds were near; it was like she could taste the flavor of the a persons mind. After giving a brisk shake of her head, they brought in all the furniture into their new house. Beds, computers, towels, rugs, tables, chairs, you name it, were all taken into the house in less than 5 seconds.
"Looks nice, if I do say so myself." Mia commented after the 5 second move in. Her grin was rivals a chesire cat's.
Lira offered a small grin, and some nodding.
"Let's go hunting." Lira suggested tersely. Mia was quick to agree, and then off they went into the forest. The forest was fairly easily to navigate through. They heard and spotted tons of elk and deer, but they were looking for a treat since they just moved in. A mountain lion or a bear, some sort of meat eater. They were laughing and teasing each other along the way.
The vampires's scent waffered into their noses, this put both of them on edge, were they going to run into this mysterious coven?
Mia pushed Lira behind me. They were both good fighters, but my power would keep us both protected.
"How many?"Lira asked so quickly and quietly, no human would be able to detect it.
"10" Mia told her. Lira's eyes widened dramatically. They've never seen a coven so big. Even with Mia's power, they may not win, if there should be a fight. Mia could only control one person at a time Were they vegetarians like them? Unlikely, they've never met anyone else like them.
8 sets of golden eyes, and 2 sets of brown ones met theirs. A silent exhale came from both girls. Along with these people came the disgusting dog odor that made them both crinkle noses. Everyone was tense, with an eerie pin-drop silence enveloping them.
"Hello." Mia pronounced carefully,not raising her head, her eyes calculating reading to react at the slightest give away. Lira gave her friend a glare, Mia needed to be cautious.
"Hello." The blond, obviously the leader, responded. He had a slight brit accent, and didn't appear to want any trouble. The caramel haired lady didn't either. The other 7, stared at them tersely. And if Mia and Lira weren't careful, they will. Mia raised her head and smiled nervously. The covens expression softened, and then confusion spread onto most of them.
"Your eyes?" said the leader, making it sound like a question. Mia and Lira's eyes were a golden color, because of their diet. And so were the coven's eyes. Well, except for the curly brunette, and the human-ish person that smelled like dog. A thousand questions sprang into her head. Another vegetarian coven? Who was the brown-eyed curly brunette? She obviously wasn't human ,but vampires only had either red, gold, or black eyes depending on their diet and their mood. Another strange thing, she had a heartbeat, and Mia and Lira could feel her heat radiating from her body. She also had a slight blush on her cheeks. Usually, this would burn Mia and Lira's throat to be so close to fresh, flowing blood. But she smelled floral, in a very non-appetizing way. The leader ,then turned to the bronze-haired one and started whispering so lowly, that Mia or Lira couldn't here. Mia thought that the bronze-haired vampire had a very interesting taste. Remember that Mia could tell that a mind was near by tasting the "flavor" of their mind.
The bronze-haired one looked up, smiling in a friendly way. "My name is Edward and this is my wife Bella," He gestured to the long-haired brunette. Wife? Mia and Lira had heard of "mates" but wife was a human term. "My daughter Renesmee," Daughter? "Her boyfriend,Jacob" He continued, pointing to the dog-smelling one. "And Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. We're the Cullens" Pointing to everyone else. "Oh, and so as not to surprise you, I have the power to read minds. I would prefer that you and Mia not use your powers against my family. We know you're 'vegetarians'"He smiled as if it were and inside joke. "So are we, would you like to talk to us in our home not far away. It would be rude not to welcome the neighbors. By the way, we have a pond in the backyard just like yours. Sorry if this overwhelms you,"
Mira and Lira gazed shockingly at Edward. "Oh, um sure," tugging at Lira's arm to come with. Lira glared at Mia. Yes , this could be very dangerous, but if Edward could read minds, they would have no chance in a fight with this coven. Besides they've given no reason to fight. They probably did mean no harm. So they continued following them, soon a big beautiful white house came into view.
