Prince Charming Kyo here. This story is very...um...i run out of words to describe it already. How does Unique sound? perhaps not the first chapter or the second, but you will see. Nevertheless I would call it imaginative. And you can count on a few laughs or gasps at height of tension. I pray you read and just have yourself a good time!

Try your best to keep up with the plot, it might be twisty at times, but every other chatper you'll find it's defined and described to your understanding. :D

Through Red Eyes: Out Gifted

Chapter 1

The vampires flew through the mountains with ease, heading steadily south. The sun was beginning to set, the bright rays painting the clouds into a bloody red that reflected in the vampire's equally bloody eyes.

"Not far to the city," Evalyse murmured quietly, she stopped, and placed her hand on a bottle found on the ground, reading its past, its journey with the hikers from the city. She put it back down, and glanced around at the other vampires. They have been travelling for a while now, no humans really travelled too deeply into the mountains, and they haven't fed for a while. Zaax refused to defile their blood by hunting animals, even though at times the thought was tempting.

Zaax nodded now, and turned again, the vampires moved again, their movements a blur. "First thing we do when we get there, we hunt."

"Should we really present ourselves to the Cullens with red eyes?" Azariel, Zaax's twin sister asked.

"I don't see why not. The Cullens are a powerful clan. They don't know much about us though, as much as we know about them, so I doubt the future-seeing vampire will see us coming until we're close enough. Alice I think. Edward won't be reading our minds until he thinks he should check, and in any case, that Bella girl's a vamp just like us now. We're just paying respects to their curious arrival."

"They've got eight vamps, a ton of werewolves and a half vamp on their side." Naminee murmured warily, casting a worried glance at Matthew, who ran with one hand clutching his throat. "There's only five of us, and Matt..."

"I'm fine." He hissed.

"But inexperienced." Zaax reminded him, "Don't worry Naminee, Carlisle is wise, he won't take any chances with what's her name…Nessie? And he will avoid conflict if we come in peace."

"It's really lucky we caught that Volturi witness. This is like a drama." Azariel chimed, "Haven't known this much excitement in over a century, huh Zaax."

"Indeed."

"We're close." Evalyse inhaled deeply, "Hold your breath until we get somewhere safe, Matt."

"I'll try." He growled, "I'm thirsty."

"Naminee?" Zaax asked, and the blonde vampire held on to Matt's hand.

"Stop." Azariel commanded, "Evalyse?"

Evalyse smiled as her eyes zeroed in on a piece of candy wrapper. She extended her pale fingers and touched the piece of trash. "Ooo…nice and fresh, camper family, daddy, mommy, two sons a daughter and two friends. perfect."

"Perimeter secure?" Zaax opened his mouth and inhaled deeply.

"Yep," everyone but Matt echoed in unison, each inhaling the scent to make sure that they were safe.

"Matt." Azariel looked into the newborn vamp's eyes, "Save some for us. You allowed to take two adults or three children understood?"

Matt's lip curled over his teeth in a hiss, "Yes."

"Okay Matt…go all out." Zaax smiled, and the newborn vampire was gone in a flash.

"I wish you wouldn't do that." Naminee sighed.

"We have no choice Naminee." Zaax frowned, "He's stronger than all of us, and the scent is overwhelming for him."

"Are we not joining him?" Azariel did a backflip and landed neatly on a nearby branch.

Zaax smiled, "We will join him, dear sister, I simply wanted to give him a head start. I'm pretty thirsty too you know."

"Alright, let's just go." Evalyse pushed, and the coven flashed after Matt.

The scene was already a mess as the vampires arrived. Matt crouched over the neck of the second child, hissing in delight. Not a drop of blood deserted the ground; Matt had been too thirsty to waste any. But the furniture was broken and in pieces, smashed to bits, probably to frighten the victims. Zaax laughed, Matt always did like his drama.

In the corner the mother hid with the last child, tortured eyes pleading help. Zaax casually walked up to her, his red eyes wide with innocence. "Child, would you look at me please?" he asked, and the girl looked up fearfully at him. In an instant, her pupils dilated, becoming distant, "None of this ever happened, your family were mauled by a bear during camping, and you're the only survivor, you were left unconscious."

The girl closed her eyes and slept. Zaax grinned widely, flashing his teeth at the woman.

"Ma'am." He whispered soothingly.

The woman looked into his beautiful red eyes.

"You're sleeping, remember? You can't feel a thing, you're so tired." He comforted, stroking her pale face with his icy fingers.

Her breathing slowed, and Zaax took her head gently in his hand, and closed his cold lips over her neck.

"Sympathetic vampire." Matt wiped his mouth, watching, "They're going to die anyway, why not let them experience the pain?"

Zaax paused, licking his lips, "Shut up Matt." He growled, and resumed.

"The father's struggling." Matt observed, looking over at the man waving a shovel uselessly in Evalyse's face. "Hey Eva, turn on the charm!"

Evalyse looked over, her pretty face screwed up in a snarl. In an instant, she had smacked the shovel away and was feasting on the blood gushing from the artery.

Naminee had created a small time field around her victim, and was sucking at the blood hungrily, her eyes closed serenely. She could've been simply kissing the boy's neck.

"Hey Azariel, aren't you going to…?" Zaax looked over to his twin, leaning against a tree, her ivory lips untainted by blood.

"I don't really want any." She whispered, her lips pressing into her hard line. She wasn't breathing.

Matt was not as concerned as Zaax by this reaction, "Hey Azariel you serious? Can I…?"

Azariel gave permission with a wave of her hand, and in another flash Matt was upon the child, snapping his neck in a fluid motion and sucking at the neck in another. Zaax frowned and walked over to his twin sister, "Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing, I just…want to see if I have what it takes."

"What it takes…to…"

Azariel sighed, her bloody red eyes on her brother, "What it takes to be like the Cullens." She shrugged, "To feed on animal blood instead."

Zaax frowned, his eyes wide, "Azariel…don't leave us."

"I won't." she smiled, "I just want all of us to try and…be like them. You're the leader Zaax, you can ask them to try."

"You can order them to try." Zaax smiled.

"We have made a pact never to use our talents on each other for wrong reasons, remember?" Azariel smiled, "Otherwise…we would've torn each other apart."

"Yes…with Naminee as our defender, Evalyse as our tracker you, me and Matt as our fighters…we present a threat to even the Volturi. They are afraid of us." Zaax smiled, "Yet I do so dearly wish to see the reactions of the Olympic Coven as well."

"You mean the Cullen Family." Azariel smiled, "They prefer that."

"Let us be on our way then, dear sister." Zaax grinned.

"Yes, brother."

"All done?" Zaax turned around and surveyed the scene, Naminee, Evalyse and Matthew stood neatly in line, licking their lips. "Ah yes, Matt. Pretend you're a wild bear, and lay waste to the camp please. Catch up when you're done."

Matt eyed the girl in the corner of the camp; he sniffed, and then sighed in ecstasy. Azariel rolled her eyes, "Look here Matt." She hissed, and Matthew grudgingly looked into her eyes, "Do not harm the girl," She ordered, and the vampire smiled.

"Yeah I got it."

"Let's move out." Zaax smiled.

The were through the city in little less than half a day, racing towards forks with incredible speed. It was still a week before they reached Seattle, and almost dark again when Zaax called them to a halt. "We hunt before we reach the Olympic territory."

"In Seattle?" Matt questioned.

"No, we'll try for mountain lions." He gave Azariel a small smile.

Evalyse and Naminee thought of protesting, but thought better of it. Matt was the only one not wise enough, "But you said we would never taint our pure blood by-"

"We'll try, because it's what Azariel wants." Zaax held his gaze steadily, "Just this once, Matthew."

The coven easily dispatched three mountain lions. In the end, it was Evalyse who wrinkled her nose at the smell. Matt was too thirsty to notice, and the vampires feasted quickly before moving on.

They moved slower now, Evalyse grazing her hand along the tree bark to read their past. Suddenly, familiar sweet scents drifted into their nostrils, and Zaax halted. "Naminee, get ready." He whispered. "All of you, start reciting time tables, the Cullens have a mind reader."

Naminee nodded, and stood in the front of the group, ready to pause time as soon as the Cullens entered into view. She stretched out her time field, covering the forest as the Cullens appeared from the trees, but strangely, they didn't notice, but walked on as normal. Alarm prickled at her brain, but she quickly concealed it, and began reciting the American laws in her head.

"Someone's shielding them." Matthew whispered, "It's coming from that girl like an elastic field. That's why Naminee's power didn't work."

The entire coven looked over to Matt in surprise, until Zaax smiled. "Carlisle Cullen, may I introduce my coven?"

"Please let Edward see your thoughts." Carlisle replied politely, his golden eyes staring unnervingly into Zaax's red ones.

"No." Zaax replied, "But I assure you we come in peace. We are the Colorado Coven."

"I've heard of them." Jasper spoke up, "They're an extremely talented coven, the Volturi have had their eyes on them for centuries, but even they didn't attempt to overthrow the coven, not with such a powerful leader." His eyes rested on Zaax.

Zaax smiled widely, showing his fangs, "Yes, but we promise not to use our gifts on you as long as Edward Cullen promises to leave our minds be."

"It comes naturally, harder to stop it really." Edward said politely.

"We can make it easier for you, if Mrs. Bella Cullen would please let down her shield. You are in no danger, I promise." Zaax opened his arms in peace, "I will merely demonstrate one of my coven's gifts on Edwa-"

"No!" Bella growled, her dark brown hair blowing in the wind.

"Slow to trust. Very well." Zaax sighed, "Azariel?"

She smiled, "Yes Zaax." Searching with her red eyes in the forest, she quickly found a bird, and stared into its eyes. "Come." She ordered, and the bird flitted onto her hand, "Fly to Bella." She ordered again, and the bird flew swiftly to Bella, who narrowed her eyes as it landed on her shoulder.

Jasper growled, "The power to induce absolute obedience, one of the gifted twins more powerful than even Jane and Alec, you are Azariel Nephilim, and you must be Zaax Nephilim, the one with the power to read, manipulate, erase, and recreate memories."

"Yes, I see that the vampires who were always warring had their eyes set on us too." Zaax smiled, "Let me introduce the rest of my coven, Evalyse, Naminee and Matthew."

"Abilities?" Carlisle asked, "Since you seem to know ours so well."

"We cannot tell you without knowing that you will keep our secret. One order from Azariel will do, as soon as Bella lets down her shield." Zaax said soothingly, "There's nothing to worry about, naturally. In fact, Naminee, go join the Cullen's side."

Perfectly calm, Naminee skipped to Carlisle and took his hand, placing his fingers around her neck. "Is this fine, Zaax?"

"Yes." Zaax nodded, "Now Bella, won't you please release your shield?"

"Do it Bella." Alice nodded, "He doesn't mean harm."

Grudgingly, Bella frowned. Matthew smiled, "The shield is gone."

"Azariel?" Zaax waved, and the vampire skipped forward. She looked into Edward's eyes. "You will not tell anyone, vampire, werewolf, or human included, of anything about any of my coven." She whispered, and Edward's eyes dulled, he nodded.

"Yes." He said.

And it went around the field until all were done. "I will let you read our minds, Edward." Zaax decided, "If it puts you at ease."

"It does." Edward smiled, "Welcome to forks."

"Naminee has the power to stop time. She can manipulate the duration and the area." Zaax listed, "Evalyse has the ability to read the past of any object she touches, and Matthew, our newborn, has found an ability just now. It seems that he is able to tell when a power is being deployed and what form it takes."

"Edward Cullen is scanning our minds, Bella is trying to stretch out her shield again, Jasper is sending calming waves and Alice is trying very hard to see our futures." Matthew reported with a grin. "Now they're all recoiling."

Zaax smiled, "No need to feel uncomfortable. But we're here because we caught a Volturi witness crossing our land. After reading his memories we decided to pay little Nessie and visit and congratulate you. We'll be staying a few days if you don't mind. Yes guys, I just made this decision, but I did want to observe their vegetarian habits." He paused, "If the werewolf would show himself, I would also be greatly pleased."

A great russet wolf stepped into the clearing, a young girl on his back. The Cullens tensed as time froze in place around the wolf and the girl, and they turned to see Naminee grinning. "I do dislike so many traps." Zaax sighed, "But I suppose everyone wants tricks up their sleeve." He waved a hand, and in an instant Azariel had given orders to both the wolf and Renesmee, demanding their promise of secrecy. Then Naminee released the time field, and the wolf snarled.

"No harm done." Zaax spread his hands as Bella snarled at him, "Precautions really."

"Please refrain from rash actions in the future, Zaax." Edward hissed.

"I apologize, my coven's used to making instantaneous decisions without me." He smiled, "Now, shall we return to your place so we can pay our respects to Nessie?"

The movement was swift, with Cullens coving all sides of the Colorado Coven, Carlisle was in the lead, flanking Zaax was Edward, Azariel was blocked by Bella, with the great Russet wolf beside them. Rosalie guarded Evalyse, Alice guarded Naminee and Emmett stayed by Matt, Esme and Jasper took the end.

Bella carefully took Nessie from Jacob, soothing her to let go of the russet fur. Jacob whined, he didn't trust these red eyes enough to phase back, and he hated Nessie being away from him.

"Her full name is Renesmee Cullen." Bella explained, "Jacob took the liberty in shortening it."

"It is a bit of a mouthful." Zaax smiled at Renesmee, who looked like a seven year old child. "Hello Renesmee, I'm Zaax"

The girl smiled, and extended her hand. Zaax closed his eyes as she showed him her memories. "Thank you, Renesmee." He whispered, and then looked up at Bella, "You share a strong bond." He smiled, "With Edward Cullen, it's very admirable Mrs. Cullen."

"Call me Bella."

"Yes and it's a good thing too." He teased, "Vampires are ill at ease until they find a mate."

"Hey Zaax." Edward called, "Can I have a moment?"

"Sure thing." Zaax replied, "Bye Nessie-ah, Renesmee."

They left the house quietly, and in a flash, settled in the middle of the forest, "You had more than one goal coming here." Edward said.

"Yes, I wanted to see young Nessie, she's beautiful." Zaax complimented, "My twin sister Azariel wanted to observe your…feeding habits. I also wanted to see these legendary werewolves' packs at La Push. Then, drawing some information and…ah, go provoke the Volturi a little. Life gets boring when you don't have a mate as beautiful as your Bella."

"She is mine." Edward confirmed.

"Yes, naturally," Zaax replied.

"The meeting of the werewolves will be yours to arrange, we will send Jacob with a message, but their approval will not be influenced by us." Edward answered, "And I must warn you, I want none of the Cullen Family to be brought into any business between you and the Volturi."

"You've nothing to fear Edward, if the Volturi even thinks of touching this coven; we will stand by your side. I saw the memories of little Nessie, and I only regret that we have not been contacted last time." Zaax sighed, "If you had invited us to testify as well, we could've saved Irina with Naminee's ability."

"We weren't close covens Zaax, and your location wasn't the most easy to find." Edward sighed, "Irina's loss hit us hard too, but Kate's found a mate in Garret."

"That's why we're here, to be close covens. Perhaps even like Tanya's family." Zaax frowned, "Though the Volturi fear the powerful. With the Cullen family, Tanya's family and the Colorado Coven joined together, they might take action. This time they will be fully aware of Bella's abilities as well. You need us for the surprise factor."

"Your gifts are truly powerful." Edward smiled, "We thank you for your allegiance, and apologize for the tension earlier. May I inquire your history?"

"Me and my twin sister were first turned, in the early 1900s, almost same period as yourself, Edward, a bit earlier perhaps. Naminee followed after, she was an artist who captured the moment so well…it probably influenced her power. She was turned by some other vampires who got out of control and we took her in. Eventually she hunted for and killed them of course, and we helped her through her early days. Naminee shares a strong bond with us, she knows that she owes her life to us, for if we were not there, the Volturi would've recruited her or taken her out. We found Evalyse next, she saw some vampires turn a person and asked us to do it to her…she was alone and had to take care of her children…we didn't want to say no. She had amazing control, and she was able to stay with her boys up until they grew old and she disappeared from their world. Matthew was just recently turned, Naminee has finally found her mate."

"I see." Edward nodded, "I know how it feels."

"No, no you don't." Zaax laughed, "You knew, but now you're too busy feeling other things."

Edward chuckled, "I guess you're right."

"Seeing the way you and Bella look at each other, the way Esme and Carlisle, Alice and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie look at each other…even Naminee and Matt, it makes me feel like I'm intruding on their world." Zaax shook his head, "That's why I'm up for an adventure against the Volturi. When you've got the gifts as powerful as mine, it's hard to just use them to ease the pain of humans we kill. I've been meaning to ask you the locations of the Romanian Coven."

"We're not sure." Edward sighed.

"Ah, wait, incoming." Zaax closed his eyes, tempted, Edward reached out with his gift into Zaax's mind.

"I want to go shopping with Alice, and Rosalie, can I?"

"Yes, of course."

"Oh, and uh, Matt's challenging Emmett to an arm wrestling, should I get Naminee to…?"

"Yes, please do, poor Emmett, Matt's a newborn. How's Evalyse doing?"

"Hanging out with Esme like old friends, she was talking to Bella about Nessie a while ago too, everyone's getting along fine, so don't go being a thorn in Edward's side okay?"

"Yeah no sweat, best buddies."

"Best buddies?" Edward raised an eyebrow.

Zaax smiled, "Aren't we? Azariel and I maintain a mind connection type thing…probably because we're twins."

"Let's go see how the arm wrestling match is going."
