Chapter 2: Long Lost Brothers and Phoenix Carcass

"Is that you Bella?"

Brad said as he hugged me and held me out at arms length to get a good look at his baby sister. I blushed and smiled back at him.

"Yup. It's the little spoiled thing you once knew."

He laughed and hugged me again.

After we had all said our hellos we all took our seats. I sat in the center seat at the head table, while Henry was on my left side and Silver on my right. I looked down the table then out at all of the people who were here to welcome me back to the coven, those of them who were here to drink booze and get laid, and those who were here just to hear the gossip of the coven and spread it across the news. I smiled as those of them who were there for the gossip took pictures of me and my long lost family, and me and my "boy-friend" as they stated it. Just then when we finished taking pictures with the last photographers, there was a small bell that rang. RING RING. The food was being served. As we sat there awaiting the food Silver leaned over and whispered something in my ear,

"I can't wait until tonight."

I giggled and leaned in to whisper something in his ear.

"I know. It's going to be so much fun."

When the food arrived, it appeared on our plates in a split second. I noticed that not only was it there that fast, but a figure dressed in black ran faster than the speed of light and placed every meal in front of its owner. I gasped when I noticed that the meal of the night was something that was covered in blood, had muscle but not a lot of meat, and was making Silver and the rest of the Angel Guardians shake in excitement. Even my brothers were shaking in excitement.

"Uh… What is that?"

I said, as I pointed to the meat slab facing me as it swam in its own blood,

"That, love, is the traditional feast of the Angels. It's my favorite!"

As he finished his statement, he leaned into the meat and dug in without thinking of how the blood would stain his shirt. All of the paparazzi were escorted out of the dining hall and I was left there to watch everyone around me devour this slab of meat.

"Ryan? What is this?"

I asked my vegetarian brother as he slowly ate a salad and watched as my guests made monsters of themselves.

"Oh it's called Phoenix Carcass. The angels and the vampires really enjoy it but it's the feast dinner in the Revolution kingdom."

I raised my eyebrows and looked over at Silver as he tried to reach for my phoenix carcass. I hissed at him and pulled the meat to my chest as I kept it from him. He smiled slyly and leaned over the arm of the chair and reached for it again. I hissed and growled again at him but he continued to advance towards me.

"Give me that meat!"

Silver said as he crept towards me.

"No!"

I smiled and licked the meat in my hands. I then rubbed my tongue on every inch of the meat licking off all of the dripping blood that was now covering not only my chest but also my dress. Silver lunged at me and I allowed him to lean over me. Just then he forgot about the phoenix carcass in my hands and was focused on me. Everyone in the room dropped the meat and started making-out in every inch of the room, there were ever a couple of people who were getting busy on the dance floor and in the rafters. I didn't care what happened at this point.

"Are you afraid of what I can do to you?"

He asked me as I apparently looked a bit terrified.

"No. Why, what are you going to do, kill me?"

He laughed a deep laugh and shook his head in disagreement.

"Why would I kill you? You're my soul mate. I wouldn't even dream about that."

I smiled and fiercely kissed him. It was more intense than the explosion of the Atomic bomb. It was more intense than anything that I would have ever expected. When he touched me it was like sparks flew through my body, when he kissed me fireworks, and when he licked me it was the most sensual sensation that I had ever encountered. Just then he stopped kissing me. I then looked at him and noticed the look in him eyes. We both got up and walked as coolly out of the banquet hall and into the wide open streets. It had begun to rain but I was on cloud nine, I didn't care what happened at this point.

We slowly walked to Silver's quarters in the pouring rain. It was refreshing from the sexual play back at the club, but the night wasn't finished, it had just begun.

"Uh… Bella…" Silver said as we walked hand in hand down the stone roads of the Coven.

"Yeah?"

I said awaiting his approach.

"Want to go somewhere before my place?"

"Depends."

"Well it's a… a… strip club… I know it's probably retarded…"

I laughed and sighed,

"Sure! I'd love to babe."

Silver's face glowed in the darkly clouded sky. He grasped my hand tighter and our pace grew a bit faster. It didn't take long for us to get to the club. A large illuminated neon sign read, SEXUAL SEDUCTION: VAMPIRE EXOTIC DANCE CLUB. I giggled and allowed Silver to lead me in as we stood close to each other. When I walked in, the men all sitting at their tables were in awe. Half of the men were fully bred vampires, and the others were Angels. We made our way to a table when I heard a man whisper to his buddy,

"Who's the babe?"

The man's buddy pointed to me and whistled. I turned around and gave the man the finger as he guffawed his way to the floor.

"Here sexy."

I said as I reached Silver's chair before he did, pulling it out for him to sit as I pulled my dress-strap back to my shoulder. Just then I noticed that my dress was soaking wet, from the rain of course. I then turned for the dressing-room and whispered in Silver's ear,

"I'll be right back. Look for me under the black lights."

Again his face glowed like a full moon on a Halloween night. All he could do was shake his head and sit there watching me as I walked away from him.

I reached the door to the dressing-room just as three women in very little clothing came out for the next portion of the show. It was an original strip-tease.
