Summary:

Takes place during Edward's rebellious years in the early 1920's. Edward Settled in New York and learn quickly that there are 6 main gangs that you better avoid or you might end up worse then dead. However, when the kidnapping of a human shakes the already thin treaties of peace between the gangs it will be up to Edward to choose between love and sanity.

Alright there are a few things I want to make clear.

First, I understand that the coven sizes are big but hey my story my rules

Second, This story is actually somewhat of a mix from Book called still not dead yet while the plot is mine the coven names and sizes are taken

Third, and most important, ENGOY!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: you know what im going to type I DON'T OWN ANYTHING . . . not even my soul anymore . . .

I heard pounding on the door.

"Edward! Open up! Come on I know you know its me!"

Jack, as he liked to be called, was a queer human. He wanted to be one of us and sucked up to the Coalition as often as possible hoping that they would change him Nonetheless, I personally believe that he is too aggravating and does not truly want the prize he seeks.

I disputed whether I should open the door to let the poor human in. I sincerely did not want to; no good news could come from the coalition especially since last night was a bit . . . bizarre. But the Mongol refused to stop. And I halfheartedly let the snake in.

"Its bloody freezing out there." He said this as shook the snow off him and took off his jacket. Whatever made him consider that I was letting him warm up was beyond me.

"He poor bastard has no idea how pissed the Coalition is at him."

"Well enlighten me and tell me how bad it is." I was already getting impatient with the stout man.

"You know I hate it when you do that mind reading thing."

"What on earth made you believe I cared?" I grinned to be reminiscent that I was still the immortal while he was still the . . . provisions.

"W-Well, all I knows is they be wanting ya now." He was understandable alarmed, and left just as swiftly as he had come.

How I ended up here in New York I do not remember, but I learned fast that there are six top gangs that any form of existence would not want to muddle. One being the Coalition, their the biggest of all the gangs, controlling half of the island their word is law, whether you are a member or not. Like the Volturi, it is not just pathetic humans working for them but much of my kind as well. Much like the Volturi, they have their own way of making one . . . non-existent.

I left my residence; trying to merge into the crowd, I wore a heavy jacket. I walked to the building that was invisible. The Coalition had done a splendid work on creating an absolutely plain building. I knocked on the door 3 times, if I were human I might have done it 4 times.

"Sach wlkidh Siidht." The door man's name was kayrel and the only way he would ever consider letting you in is if you played is jibberish game.

"Gjidlsi siidljf." I repeated, not fully aware of even what I said.

"Aww Edward!," He unbolted the door and I could see his face glowing with the ecstasy on the spectacle of a name that would not batter him. "Come and have a seat Marius is in a rage to see you."

"I am awfully confident that is true. Before I forget, thank you for the tablets, they have been most helpful." Kayrel had invented tablet a few centuries back that he believed could minimize thirst. Of course, for years I had ridiculed such an invention until a few months ago when I tried them for myself.

"Really and how have they been doing you?"

"I am delighted to say that I can nearly tolerate the average human . . . with the exception of Jack of course."

"Ha! Don't fret about it I've been wanting to tear that little bastard for years."

Before we could carry on with out talk one of the human workers walked in.

"Mr. Mason, Lord Marius will speak with you now."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Though the building itself was very simple, Marius's workplace was anything but simple. He had a taste for red velvet and made it rather known. When I had first encountered the Coalition and met Marius, I was flabbergasted with his manner of life now I find it relatively tiresome.

"Come sit Edward. We need a talk." Marius was a exceedingly mannered being. His features from his piercing gray eyes to his the last silver hair on his head made him an immense predator. Never once seeming to focus attention on anything other then the object in front of him. I have found myself many times unsettled in his aura and today was not an exception.

"Understand that things got a bit out of hand and the outcome was not my responsibility."

" Two bodies were left considerable dismantled last night." His gray eyes were on me like a poacher, " And the Police fear it might be the work of a satanic group." He was silent, as if wanting me to respond but then proceeded, "Convince me why I should consider sparing you the responsibility."

"Has their been any nuisance with the T- Birds recently?" I needed to confirm a suspicion I have been mentally toiling with since last night.

"You understand that the T-Birds are so flamboyant of their new thirst for my territory it is quite obvious that we have been having difficulty keeping things in order."

"Excellent. Last night I was hunting, as I am allowed to do in you territory, when the prey I was pursuing was caught by a member of the T- Birds." I paused allowing the information to sink in. "conceivably it would be wise for you to establish boundary lines once more."

"Are you trying that it was not your work?"

"Of course it was not. I would never consider being so careless on your territory. Furthermore, if you are in dispute with the T- Birds try to warn me. They already assume I am associated with The Coalition." I stood to leave. Convinced that my "trial" was over.

"A quick word Edward. Are you still seeing that mortal?"

My mind cringed, they knew.
