A/n hi welcome to the second chapter of defying fate. I would like to thank starsnowfairy for being my very first reviewer. It means a lot to me. Again please pm me with things you would like to see in this story. Constructive criticism is appreciated. -nym

The guards immediately went to stand on the wall with three other people. One was a vampire in his early twenties of Spanish decent. The next was a extraordinarily beautiful woman. The last looked eerily like Jane. A gasp drew my eyes to the throne and as I looked there, my breath caught. Those were not the same people in Carlisle's painting . the women on the thrones were beautiful.

Beautiful didn't do them justice. I had never seen anyone, not even Rosalie, who held a candle to their beauty.

The one on the left,who gasped, was about 5'11 in height and had a curvy body. She wore an emerald dress of velvet. Her thick ebony hair hung to her waist.

The one on the right was much shorter only 5'4 in a lavender gown

Of fine silk. She had the graceful bone structure that only came with Russians. Her hair was so blonde it was almost white and as straight as corn silk. She looked about 19.

The last woman was the oldest, looking about 26. Her strawberry blonde curls were pulled into a messy bun with a few strands framing her heart shaped face she smiled gently down at me. She then looked to Edward and scowled.

"Edward Cullen step forward" her voice was cold but it was still the most beautiful thing I had ever hers.

"Didyme I have done nothing wrong" when he said this the two other women stood up and went to stand next to the strawberry haired woman, didyme.

"Edward Cullen step forward" she repeated and Edward didn't refuse. He stepped forward and she offered him her hand. When he took it she sucked in a breath through her teeth

"HOW DARE YOU!" She screeched

haha I left you hanging. another update Wednesday or sooner if I get some reviews. Mwahaha
