Quiet Before the Storm

Alice Point of View

I sat at a computer trying to find as much information on my old family as I could. I know I should move on but I was simply curious about my life before I had become a vampire. I had already found aout about my younger sister and that I had a niece who was still alive, but despite what I knew I had to know more.

As I perused through the online files of information on my sister I happened across a file labeled as Known Relatives. I knew it wasn't much but it was a start. I looked over the file and as I skimmed avross I saw what I expected: Mother, Father, Sister, Daughter, Bother… Wait. Brother? This was something new.

I clicked on the link.

Name: John Michael Brandon. Date of birth: May 16th 1899. Date of Death: Unknown. Hair color: Blonde. Eye Color: Green. Institutionalized in 1908 for undisclosed reasons; Released in 1910. Status: Cured. 1912: Suspended from school for display of violent tendencies. 1913: Enrolled in United States Youth Military Academy. 1917: Graduated top of the class. 1920: First reported missing.

Went missing in 1920; the same year that I was turned? My curiosity was now piqued. I clicked on his student file.

Subject: John Michael Brandon. Student is extremely gifted excelling in both the class room and sports. He shows remarkable promise as an officer showing strategic genius rivaling that of General Patton himself. Though there is something a bit odd about the student. When participating in field exercises or combat training he is able to come away unscathed and achieve absolute victory. Upon observing him in action, it seems as if he knows what his opponent is going to do before they even do it. Although usually calm and collected he will become enraged and violent when anyone mentions his parents or insults his sister who is soon to be institutionalized. Despite this it is my belief that he will make an excellent addition to the United States Military.

At the bottom of the page were some photos of him the most recent being his military photo taken in 1919. He looked almost regally in his military garb with rugged facial features and a statuesque stature, but the thing that stood out the most was his eyes. Even in black and white I could see the fierceness in them. For some odd reason I couldn't look away.

Then I saw flames. There was fire everywhere, surrounding me. I could hear everyone else screaming in pain and agony. I couldn't see what was causing it I tried my hardest to through the flames to see if I could get a glimpse of who was going to do this to us. I soon spotted a shadow before the sensation of being burned alive overtook me. I let out a loud scream.

"Alice! Alice Snap out of it," Cried Jasper as he tried to pull me out of my vision, but I couldn't stop it, not now, I had to see what was going to do this. Then I saw them; A pair of wild golden eyes staring into the depths of my soul. With that the vision ended.

"Alice," Jasper began, "what did you see?"

"Jasper… Get Carlisle. Something horrible is coming."

John Michael Brandon POV

I sat by a fire patiently waiting for my brethren to bring back their prey. One of the leaches had managed to get away. Even though we were now in human form they would still be able to catch him. After all, he only had one leg, the other one I had lying at my feet as I awaited their return.

It was true vampires were stronger than us while we were in human form but we managed to take care of that problem as well. While in human form we armed ourselves with guns loaded with armor piercing explosive rounds. They are surprisingly easy to come by, if you know where to shop.

"Sir we have returned with the blood sucker," said my second in command, Thomas, as he and two others walked into the clearing.

Thomas carried with him an arm and a leg while the others were dragging their prisoner behind them. Thomas dropped the two limbs at my feet with the leaches other leg while the others made certain that the vampire wouldn't go anywhere while I questioned him.

The vampire before me looked absolutely pathetic. He was trembling in fear his yellow gold eyes wide in panic.

"Now then, you are going to answer my questions and in return I won't kill you. In fact I might even give you back your limbs. How does that sound?" I asked.

"Please have mercy."

"First question; where is the nearest coven of vampires?"

"F-Forks, W-Washington."

"Very good. How many are there?"

"Last I heard there were eight."

"What powers do they have?"

"There's a m-mind reader, a seer, one who c-controls emotions and the newest member, I h-heard she could create shields."

"Thank you very much and as promised…" I then threw his limbs forward towards him, but unfortunately for him I didn't throw them hard enough and they landed in the fire.

"Oh I am terribly sorry," I said getting a sadistic grin on my face, "Boys, why don't you help our little friend here retrieve his limbs."

They began to laugh as they picked him up and tossed him into the flames.

The leaches screams of agony were like music to my ears.

"Thomas, split the pack into the usual groups and send them to the safe houses."

"Yes sir," he replied then asked, "what about us?"

"David, you and I will head to Forks and scout out the area and prepare for the attack. When the preparations are complete we will send for the rest of the pack"

"Yes sir."

I had spent nearly a hundred years planning out my vengeance and building my army taking special care to remain hidden. And now my plans were finally coming to fruition.

AN: Please tell me what you think. Also I will give two wolves powers. Thomas has the ability to disrupt the sense of smell. Almost useless but it helps keep them hidden. As for John he has a form of precognition but he only sees the immediate future but it is perfect for combat making him untouchable. If you have seen code geass it is a lot like the Knight of One's geass power. The best thing to name it would be combat sight. As for the eye color thing. They use colored contacts.
