Death and Poison: Chapter 2

[EPOV]

After a few minutes of silence, Poison spoke.

"Where do you guys live?" she asked quietly.

"Forks, Washington. We moved there a week ago," Alice chirped.

"Fork is a beautiful place," Death said thoughtfully.

"Hmm," Poison murmured.

"You've been to Forks before?" Emmett said in surprise.

"Yeah, a few years ago we had a mission in Forks. There was a fight between a horde of bloodthirsty newborns and werewolves," Death said, while Poison nodded along.

"We had to break up the fight and then modify their memories," she said.

"Mission?"

"Emmett, we're assassins," Poison said matter-of-factly.

"Ohhhhhh!"

Poison giggled and Death chuckled while Rosalie glared at Emmett who was looking embarrassed. Alice just sighed and stared at Emmett like he was crazy. I didn't do anything at all. Like always.

"So how is it like living in Volterra?"

"Well Alice…It's nice but sometimes you just want to rip your hair out!" Death groaned.

"Their human diet gets on our nerves. Not to mention all the flirting vampires," Poison explained, looking at Alice's confused expression. I had no change in my face whereas Rosalie and Emmett were making out. When they noticed everyone was staring at them, they broke apart.

"Could you repeat that?" Emmett said blankly.

"I said their human diet gets on our nerves. Not to mention all the flirting vampires," Poison said slowly.

"Holy cow! You're vegetarians?" Emmett shouted, making us all jump.

"There was a loud "thwack" as Rosalie slapped Emmett on the back of his head.

"Ow! What was that for Rosie?"

"For being an idiot," Rosalie said, rolling her eyes.

"So you were say," Alice said glancing at Emmett who was pouting.

"Yeah well the smell of human blood repulses me because when I was human I fainted at the sight of blood," Poison explained.

"My former family was vegetarian too so and we were very close so I don't want to disappoint them. Not to mention that Poison would kill me if I even thought about drinking human blood," Death said nudging Poison with his elbow.

"Why?" Rosalie asked coldly.

"It's the only way of getting rid of his thirst. Or trying anyway. And besides threatening always works," Poison said, shrugging.

Everyone laughed except for me. It had been years since I laughed and I wasn't about to now. Alice sighed and her eyes flashed to my face once before going back to Poison.

"Aro said you both lost your mates," Alice said softly.

"Well technically we didn't lose them," Death said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's a long story. Maybe some other time?"

We sat in silence for a few minutes. Then Death broke the silence.

"Why is this Victoria after you guys anyway?"

"Well Edward's mate was human and Victoria's mate, James, caught her scent. He wanted her blood badly and he wouldn't rest until he got it. It was a coven of three. Their other coven member Laurent left them before the chase and went to the Denali coven but he died a year later. So it was Victoria and James started tracking us. This happened and that happened and Bella was bitten on the arm. Edward sucked the venom out but after that she wanted to be one of us. Then on her eighteenth birthday she got a paper cut and we nearly attacked her. Then Edward decided we weren't safe for her so he forced us all to leave. He lied to her and told her he didn't love her anymore so she would forget about him. Anyways a few months after we left we found out she died. Well she committed suicide," Alice explained in one breath. I felt more pain go through me. Poison nodded while Death held Poison against. She hugged him tightly for a second before letting go and turning to Alice again.

"Does Victoria have any powers?"

"Uh yeah. She has the ability of escaping. So she can escape without being caught."

"That's what makes her a powerful target. She can escape if her life is in danger," Emmett piped in.

"Well she's no match for us. Cause no one ever escaped from Poison and Death alive and we don't plan on letting them," Poison said, cracking her fingers loudly for the effect while Death growled in pleasure beside her.
