I was shaken awake by Sirius at 5:30 in the morning, "Come on Vix, we need to get ready. I'll get your broom for you." I nodded still in a sleepy daze. I climbed out of my warm bed instantly missing the warmth of my down feather bed wrapped in red cotton sheets and gold and red plaid comforter. Stripping down I pulled on my black under armor sports bra over my full C cups and some black and white basket ball shorts that hung low on my hips revealing my snitch tattoo on my hip bone. I had a few tattoos, the guys and I had a pack or tribal tattoo of a moon with a wolf inside sitting beside a fox, another wolf, and a stag. It was all in black and sat on our upper left bicep, we all had one. I also have a "tramp stamp" as Sirius likes to call it, of the Chinese symbols representing peace, serenity, harmony, love, trust, and hope on my lower back in a horizontal line. On my ankle I have a paw print of a fox with my name, Vixen, underneath it and a small yin and yang symbol on the high side of my neck that is usually covered by my hair. I love tattoos, I think they are so cool. The guys have a lot more than I do, Sirius has an entire sleeve on his right arm and chest is full of them along with Remus. James has more on his shoulders and has a half sleeve. I have some piercing as well, I have three pierces on my ear not including my cartilage and I have my belly button pierced. James is the only one without a piercing, Remus and Sirius both have there left ears pierced and Sirius has a cartilage like me.

I yawned pulling my hair up into a ponytail on the top of my head and slipped my red and gold Nike shocks on over my white ankle socks. I pulled out a zip up hoodie to protect me against the slight morning chill. I met the guys downstairs still trying to wake up. James handed me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich which I took gratefully. Finishing my breakfast I finally, fully, woke up. The guys were dressed like me, basketball shorts, Nike shocks, and no shirts, just zip up hoodies. It was suppose to be hot and humid today so we dressed appropriately. James and Remus had not been to the Cullens so they would be using side along apparition with Sirius and me. I gripped Remus's hand tightly in mine while turning on my heal. We arrived in the living room. Carlisle was sitting on the couch reading a medical book and Esme looked like she was sketching on a pad of parchment beside him. I felt Remus stiffen, he was taking everything in, in very crucial detail. I noticed the wolf in him as he stood tall with his piercing, now dark navy eyes. I squeezed his hand catching his attention. I smiled at him silently telling him it was okay. He understood and pushed down the vicious wolf inside him. Alice danced into the family room hugging me which I instantly returned, Alice seems really nice, energetic, but nice. She hugged Sirius next, they hit it off instantly once he actually relaxed and everyone started talking. I didn't understand Remus's body language, but when Edward walked into the room he hurried over at inhuman speed snatching me out of Remus's grasp. He growled in response and I saw the wolf once again rise in demeanor. Edward held me protectively to his chest and I couldn't help but lean forward into his embrace but remembered my friend. I slipped out of Edwards grasp stepping in between them putting my hand on Remus's arm making him look at me, "Relax Remus, you're all right. We can trust them, we'll be outside soon, just relax." I said in a soothing voice, he nodded trying to push the wolf down but let the alpha in him shine through. Edward pulled me back to him putting his arm around me and leaned down to whisper in my ear, "After our work out I would like to talk to you in private if that is alright?" I sighed as his cool breath tickled my ear, I nodded turning to look at him. I wonder what he wants to talk about?

The rest of the Cullens walked in, Emmet and Jasper were in similar attire but had on plain black wife beaters as well, Edward dressed the same. "Hey guys, this is Remus and James." I said introducing them, I noticed them act warily around Remus, it must be because he is a werewolf. I looked to Edward who was studying Remus, they were having a silent conversation of sorts. He must know, "Vix, I want you to tell them what I am." I looked at Remus in shock, he was never this open about his furry little problem. "Um, well Remus is a werewolf…" Edward glared at Remus along with Jasper, Emmet and Carlisle pulled their mates behind them in protection. Jasper growled lowering his stance into a crouch. I whipped my wand out prepared to fight if needed, Sirius, Remus and James did the same. "He won't hurt you, Remus isn't like other werewolves, he actually tries to control himself. He would never hurt anyone, and he has yet to do so. You know as mortal enemies you are more alike than you fail to realize, I'm going to say this now and it will always stand, Remus is my best friend, he's my brother, you hurt him we hurt you. Don't ever under estimate us either, you have no idea what we are capable of. You have a problem with us then say so and we will take our leave, but if one of us leaves we all leave." I stood in front of Remus in a protective way, my wand was glowing showing the energy and power I had behind it. They looked at us warily, Carlisle stepped forward raising his hands in a peaceful manner. I lowered my wand but only slightly, "I understand where you are coming from Bella, you spoke very highly of Remus last night and we trust you. If you trust Remus, then we trust him as well, please don't leave. I know Edward wouldn't want you to leave." I lowered my wand completely, "Okay, thank you. We learned about the werewolf and vampire wars in History so I understand that its natural but I promise you when I say he wouldn't be this way if it were his choice." I said sticking up for my friend, he cleared his throat. "I was bitten when I was five by a werewolf who gave into his wolf's mind making him permanently feral. I hate changing, its incredibly painful and…I just really wish I wasn't given this fate. I've never bitten a human or anything for that matter, unless myself. You see before Bella, Sirius and James would stay with me during the full moon I was locked up in the room and I just had all this energy and I my only thought is to kill but I was alone so I would hurt myself, that's why I have so many scars. During our second year in school they found out what I was and wanted to help. Obviously if they stayed with me while they were human I would bite them but if they were animals they could stay with me. It wasn't until the end of our third year did they finally achieve becoming animagus's. Bells is a fox, Sirius a wolf, and James is a stag. Not many people are able to achieve becoming animagus's so because they were thirteen when they did it is amazing. Bella and Sirius are at the top of our class in fighting and defense against the dark arts. James is the same in quidditch and transfiguration, I'm just at the top of my class in academics. People don't know about me or about them being animagus's so please don't tell anyone, what they did is illegal and they can go to prison for it so please keep it to yourselves." Remus explained, everyone listened closely and I smiled up at him. They looked at us in wonderment before Sirius broke the silence trying to be funny, "And not only am in the top of my class in defense but I'm in the top of my class with the chicks!" I burst out laughing and Edward groaned obviously reading his mind as he pictured fucking the different girls. Emmet gave him a high five while everyone else just smiled. "Alright well now that that's settled you guys ready to go?" James said in his deep voice. "Hell yeah! You guys ready to get your asses kicked?" I looked at the guys before we all burst out laughing, they seriously had no idea what they were in for, vampires or not. Everyone headed out towards the backyard, we took off our zip up hoodies and began stretching. Edward looked at me, his eyes roaming over my slender body in a hungry way. I smiled but blushed all the same, "Alright, we're going to run fifteen miles uphill and then jog ten back. You are to run with us, do not go at a vampire speed. We are not jogging either except the ten miles back afterwards we'll do drills, lifting, and then we'll do a scrimmage." James said and they nodded in understanding. "Well, see you in a few hours. Bye guys." I said smiling and they returned the smile before heading back inside. Alice hugged me once more, "Bye Bella. See you soon." I grinned at her. I stretched my legs and Sirius and I shared a look before jogging down the stairs and taking off at a smooth easy run. James and Remus right behind us followed by the Cullen boys. They seemed uncomfortable with running at a human pace but didn't complain. The first eight miles were easy, I was completely at ease. I love running. It wasn't until the twelfth mile that they started breathing heavier, and slowing down. Vampires use different muscles than humans, they still have their human muscles but they don't use them that much so by having them run at a human pace they are using their human muscles tiring them out physically for both sets of muscles. The guys and I were fine, in fact I wasn't even out of breath. "Come on guys, I thought vampires were suppose to be all strong and stuff?" I said teasing them which made them mad. Sirius and I sped up a little making them groan in agony but pushed forward trying to keep up.

My wand vibrated telling me it was fifteen miles so we slowed down to a nice easy jog. The way back was shorter because the fifteen mile trail curved as it went up the mountain side. I was laughing on the inside at the Cullen boys who were panting. I only had a light layer of sweat on my back from the sunlight making me hot but I was still fine and not out of breath. Remus was even better, he has yet to break a sweat. The Cullens had a huge field for a backyard so we decided to go there for the rest of the workout. When we stopped I immediately went into captain mode, "Alright 200 push ups, 300 sit ups, and 200 pulls ups. I want them slow, remember human paces." Emmet groaned, "But I hurt all over!" I grinned, "Good, pain builds character." Sirius rolled his eyes and I grinned. We all got in the position of a push up, back straight, hands in a triangle, and nose had to touch the ground. Remus finished first, followed by me and Sirius who always tie, and then James close behind. The Cullen's were just now getting to 175, they really under estimated us and the sport. Next we went to set ups, which I always came in last with, but I didn't care as long as I got them done. I felt almost sorry for Emmet who looked ready to cry closely followed by Edward and Jasper. I chuckled at their predicament, at least they can't die, I thought silently laughing. I jumped up to my broom which was floating about my head. Situating myself I began my pull ups creating a mice steady rhythm while I counted in my head. The guys and I were done before them so we sat down drinking water we had conjured. When they were finally done we took a five minute break and James got the quaffle out. I was lying on my back on my broomstick just about a foot or so off the ground. Edward was leaning against my side taking slow deep breaths with his eyes closed and head back. My hands itched to run through his auburn bronze hair. I was curious as to know what he wants to talk about, the pull between us continues to grow every time we lock eyes or touch, or just being in each others presence. When we touch its like an electric current passes between us, its freaky… I completely melt when he looks at me and smiles that crocked smile with his full peach colored lips and his white teeth. I don't understand what I'm feeling at all, it's so sudden that I'm terrified of what I'm feeling. We decided not to play an actual game because there were not enough people to make up two teams but rather show the guys how to fly a broom instead. Sirius volunteered to demonstrate but fell into a tree when a pigeon came out of no where and pooped on his arm making him freak out. It was pretty damn funny, but he's got a few battle wounds from falling through the tree, more like battle paper cuts. That child is defiantly one of a kind.

"Alright since Sirius obviously sucks at demonstrations, Vix do you want to demonstrate?" I laughed at Sirius's face. "Might as well give them something decent." I said, "Oh does that mean your going to strip?" Sirius yelled to me as I mounted my broom and flew into the air. "You just wish you could have this body."

"Honey, I see that body every time we're in the locker rooms and trust me, with all the girls I've fucked you have the best body by far so of course I want you!" I laughed out loud at Sirius's statement, we're secret lovers according to the school, so we play it up. "Well then come and get it! Holy shit do you remember that club we went to and that chick kept trying to get in your pants. It was the funniest thing, she would actually try and unzip his pants when we were dancing! Who does that?!" Last year the guys and I went to a party at the Three Broomsticks and this girl really took a liking to Sirius but it was obvious that she had way to much to drink. She kept getting him drinks but he would never drink them thinking that she put some sort of drug in it. He basically ruined our fun time because I had to act as his girlfriend and Remus and James thought it was funny but ditched us half way through.

Emmet and Jasper were laughing with the rest of the guys but Edward was looking up at me grinning. I smiled back down at him, the wind had picked up slightly and a few more strands of hair had escaped blowing in my face. "Hey, quite staring at Vix!" Remus yelled breaking our gaze. I blushed but flew higher preparing to dive. I nodded to James before leaning forward and forming into a perfect dive. James tossed the quaffle to me and I caught it spinning around Emmet and back up into the air with the ball tucked safely under my arm. "THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!! DID YOU SEE THAT EDWARD TALK ABOUT BADASS!" I laughed at Emmet's outburst, he is like a child in an adults body. Sirius rolled his eyes, I tossed the ball to Remus who easily caught it.

We did a ton of tricks, the Cullen boys whooping and cheering as Sirius and I showed them plays and tricks. Emmet wanted to fly so we put him on James's broom, he made it up a good twenty feet keeping his balance before another bird flew by pooping on Sirius yet again, making Emmet fall off because he was laughing so hard. Today is not Sirius's day, poor guy.

Edward pulled me aside as Sirius, James, Remus, Emmet, and Jasper went into the Cullen house. "I need to talk to you about something important."
