Noel 2
Chapter 2
6 months, dad calls me out to the back yard away from mom's flower beds. "Time to learn the family business Lil Bit we Whitlock's are the best fighters in the vampire world." He smiles at me "no daughter of mine will be embarrassing me, and that goes double for my brother. The first thing your Uncle Jasper will ask you is if you can fight and you will want to be able to tell him yes, you really will Lil Bit because he is a bastard if he thinks you don't come up to snuff."
The next 3 months are hell I start with mom as a sparring partner with dad and Garret looking on helping me with words and mimicking the moves showing me how to move where to strike. When I can hold my own against mom Garret takes her place. He is no better but fighting someone a differ size means that what worked on mom doesn't work on him. I find myself moving differently thinking ahead. Dad calls it the Whitlock method; most never learn how to fight like this. Garret is very very good; he has over 150 more years of fighting experience than mom. I learn how he combines fighting styles judo and karate throws and strikes he is scary fast. Well that's what I thought till dad took his turn. Vampires can't sweat, but if I could I would, after a session with him I was like a puddle on the ground.
Mom would help me up with a smile "he just wants you to be able to handle your self Sug."
"I'll never be as good as him mom."
"Your dad, Garret, and your Uncle Jasper are the best. They had to be or they would have died a long time ago. Most won't face them even 4-1 I have seen a group of 10 back down from your father and Uncle. When your Uncle Jasper switches over to the Major he becomes a force of nature even the Volturi tread carefully around him." she looks at me "he thinks they may show an interest in you Sug they like to collect useful immortals. We mean to make sure it's your choice not Aro's."
It was 8 month and dad was calling in a favor we were going on a road trip to Alaska. An immortal who owed him was able to tell you if you had a gift and what it was. Helping you develop it and use it concisely like a laser, bringing it in to focus. We had been going into towns for the last month it was hard but I only killed what dad told me to. That was the only reason that we were going right now. Mom and I would get out of the car before he filled up running ahead normally dad and mom would just run but with me being so young they didn't want me to lose it on the way. 4 days it took, we stopped before we got into their territory to hunt. Garret had taken off saying he had no need to meet the succubus's in their home. I would miss him, but mom told me he dropped in every 12 years or so.
They had this massive house out in the middle of no where. Five immortals stood outside waiting to greet us as we step out of the truck, the first thing I see is their eyes. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEIR EYES" I blurt out in a new-born minuet. Dad gives them a small shrug "sorry Tanya she's only 8 months old."
She smiles and nods "no problems Peter, we were all new to this life at one time." She turns and gives mom a smile "nice to see you again Chalet."
Dad turns to me "Noel this is the Denali Clan. Tanya is the coven leader that is her sisters Kate and Irena. Over there is Elazar and his mate Carman." He points each out and they give me a nod. "Everyone this is our daughter Noel."
With that Tanya smiles "Welcome to our home, please feed a few towns over we maintain a permeant residence here and unexplained deaths could cause us some difficulty. Let's go in" motioning us into the huge house.
We sit in the massive great room with a fire burning in a fire place, all three of us could walk into. Tanya smiles at me looking me straight in the eye. "The reason our eyes are gold color is a direct result of our diet we only drink from animals, human blood does not pass our lips."
Dad leans over to me "taste like shit to."
Kate laughs "I thought so to for the first 2 hundred years"
I look at the feisty blond "than why would you make yourself eat them?" I would never give up my scum-bag diet my mouth watered with venom just thinking about drinking a rapist.
"Young one after almost 8 hundred years of preying on human males you ask your self is this all there is?" she tells me with a smile.
"How old are you?" I look at them.
She smiles "Taya is the oldest" she throws her a playful smile at her sister "but Irena and I are not much younger. Let's just say we have all seen over a 1000 years and leave it at that."
Carman laughs "don't bulk El and I in that we are barely over 500 thank you very much."
Even though dad and mom is much younger that everyone in this coven they all treat them with respect dad told me on the way that Uncle Jasper considers them cousins. The Whitlock name has great meaning in this coven.
While we have been talking El has been staring at me. "You are right Peter she is gifted. A very gifted shield, Aro will be after her for his guard."
"It will be her choice not his." Dad tells him with some force, "You don't force a Whitlock unless you want the whole clan coming after you!"
El holds up his hands, he knows they will be dragged into any fight because of their affiliation to Jasper. "I'm just stating a fact Peter."
"Just cause you served doesn't mean everyone should. I better not hear Aro heard about our daughter from you either or we will be having words." The rest of his coven looked a little uneasy.
Tanya steps in "no need for that Peter he would never and you know that."
Dad looks at her "it had to be said, no disrespect to El or your coven Tanya but if the shoe was on the other foot you would have done the same."
This was the first time I have seen Peter our coven leader and not Dad.
I look at El "what's a shield?
He smiles at me "in your case it is both mental and physical. The mental seems to be on all the time, Kate." With that Kate touches the back of my hand frowns still keeping contact.
"Shit she should be on the ground out cold." She pulls her hand away and gives me a smile.
School is back in session I have five new people to fight against fine tuning what I leaned from dad. El helped me find the physical part of my gift it was like squeezing my hand in my mind don't ask me why, even El doesn't know. Nothing could get through it not even 7 vampires beating on it. The next thing he worked on was shielding others I worked my way up to ten different shields at once. After a lot of practices we found a new twist I could shrink the shield down crushing anything inside. El was convinced I could reduce an immortal to dust if I was motivated enough. All the Denali's looked at me a little differently after that. Not afraid, but like someone who you would like on your side in a fight.
We stayed till my one year mark. Sharing Christmas with the Denali's exchanging gifts with both covens with me getting the lion's share between my birthday and Santa. We never stopped my training even through the holidays only taking my birthday, Xmass, and New Year's off.
I was a true Whitlock now deadly. I was fine with that, we Whitlock's believe in the laws, even helping from time to time if asked however none of our coven have ever or will ever serve in the guard.
"Time to meet your Uncle Lil Bit." Dad told me on our latest hunt.
I nodded "ok dad I think I can surprise Uncle Jasper even without my shield."
We made our farewells to Tanya and all the Denali's Kate had her arm around me we had got on great, she worked closes with me and El to get my gift where it's at now. "Keep pushing yourself Noel you can always make it stretch father, at first I only had it in my hands then my body now I go for strength of power. Who knows someday I might get you to feel a little tingle." She tells me with a smile.
"You're trying now aren't you?"
She winks at me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Don't be a stranger you're welcome any time with or without mom and dad."
With that we piled into the truck, on the road again. Next stop Uncle Jasper's and the Cullens.
Time to meet the Cullen's
as this is an AU what will she think of Edward?
