Ebony Fire

Chapter 1

Morning, everyone is up and working. Spring cleaning at the Cullens. Of course for them, it takes them a mere minute when it takes humans nearly half the day to clean a whole house. Emmet re-painted the outside with Rosalie, Jasper and Alice cleaned the stairs and the kitchen, Esme and Carlisle cleaned the rooms, and Edward cleaned the kitchen and the living room.

"Edward," Alice followed him. "Can you put this back on the roof please?" She tossed him a cable satellite.

"What happened?" Edward asked.

"Rosalie and Emmet had a paint fight…again."

"I said I was sorry already." Emmet exclaimed as he came into the room.

"You're just lucky you didn't break the roof in." Before anyone else could

move, Edward returned to the kitchen.

"The dish is fixed." He said.

"Great, now I can watch my show." Alice sighed. Rosalie then rolled her eyes.

"It's not that disgracefully corny Vampire Diaries again is it?" She asked.

"Of course not!" Alice exclaimed. "I'm talking about Supernatural."

"Heh, that's even worst." Emmet said chuckling.

Somewhere murky in a sinister vacant field lays a cult of dark skinned vampires. The Dawns...a family of 9. 8 males and 1 small female. They are previous enemies of the Cullens from many centuries ago. Back in the First World War, they were always trying to out-do the other. There was one female. Hitari…she was one of the strongest female vampires that had ever been. Also one of the most beautiful to Vitro; long black hair, cocoa skin and bright red eyes. She got the jobs done the right way…mostly her way. Vitro, the head male of the Kierkens, was her soul mate. They never left each other's sight. But one day long ago, Carlisle had become the cause of her decease. Hitari was in the middle of an appetizing killing spree with the family until the Cullens came in the picture. After many killings, she could no longer see the Cullen children…only Carlisle. Hitari went to charge for him believing that he was the last to live. But they had planned an ambush. The rest of the Cullen family then appeared from various directions. Then had rapidly grabbed her arms and legs to restrain her. Then Carlisle took her by the throat and made it shatter in his own hand. Vitro had lost everything…is mind, his soul, and his heart.

Plotting revenge was difficult for the Dawns. It took them many decades to find them, for one. Also, they had no way to plan a proper unexpected attack. For Alice can see everything as Edward can hear everything before it happens. Plot after plot, they had to call off because of her and Edward. They had lost all hope, until she came. Tarantella was alone and living in the streets from was 7 to 15 years old. In the beginning, Vitro was just looking for something to dine on. But a light came in his eyes when he saw her. Because even with mist green eyes instead of red, Tarantella favored Hitari very well.

It was raining; Tarantella was sitting on a curb with her face buried in her knees. Vitro pounced down from his position and walked over to her as if he was a kind stranger.

"Do you have a home?" He asked. She looked up at him with a jolt. She studied him during a moment of silence. She shook her head.

"Do you have a family?" She shook her head again.

"I see…" He then gave her a satisfied grin as he reached for her hand.

"Come…"She hesitated to take his hand. But he swiftly snatched and carried her away. 2 years pass as he waited for her to get use to her new "family." He sneaks into her room one night as she slept. The sound of his footsteps awakened her. She lifted her head and looked up at him with a curious look.

"Father?" He suddenly snaps and lunges towards her neck. Screams and shouts of pain escape her. Her eyes rolled and her body shook as the venom quickly began to spread. It has only been a month since he changed her.

Now watching the Cullens from a portal on a 9ft height cinderblock wall, Vitro glares along with his 8 sons.

"Our time will soon come…" He said in a low tone. "Just be patient."

"But when father!" The eldest son, Javier stepped forward. "I want to take that Jasper by the head-!"

"Silence my son!" Vitro exclaims holding his hand up. "Be patient…you'll have your chance." He looks at Edward through the portal and gives a sinister smile.

"Tarantella!" He calls. She then rushes over next to him.

"Yes, father?" She said looking up at him. He then pulls her close and points at Edward.

"You see that young man…" He said. "You need 50% of your attention on gaining his trust." Tarantella studies him.

"And the other half, Father?" She asked. He then looked down at her with a grin.

"Killing him…" She shot a small look of worry at him.

"But…but…"

"But what!" Vitro snapped. He quickly calmed himself down to regain his smile.

"My child?"

"I…I've never killed or…even fought anyone befor-"

"Well, you're going to learn!" He interrupted. "You'll spend some time with him, you'll befriend him, gain his trust, and then…once you have him alone…" His smile slowly formed into a strong frown.

"You'll grind his neck until it breaks in your bare hands!" He began to clutch on Tarantella's shoulder.

"Then after he's absent, you'll go after that predicting wench Alice. Then after they're through, your brothers will come and finish the others. And Carlisle…" He started to chuckle as Tarantella's shoulder was crackling. She began to shout in ache.

"Leave him to me…" He said. "Carlisle will suffer for what he has taken from me…" After one last crack and shriek, Vitro finally released her. She fell to the ground as she held her shoulder…dislocated. He looked down at her and rolled his eyes. He picked her up, turned her around, and punched the back of her shoulder to snap it back in place. She screamed once more an ear-piercing ache. Vitro put his attention back to the Cullens.

"Soon…" He said in a low-tone. "Soon…you will all be nothing but a memory…"

Edward noticed the sudden zoned look on Alice's face. They both stopped in the middle of the living room.

"What is it?" Carlisle asked as he walked in.

"Someone's watching us…" Both Edward and Alice said.
