Alec POV
"So what happened that you had to leave anyway," I asked now that I knew she would talk because no one else was around.
"My evil Grandfather," she said, "my dad thought it would be safer for me to leave and learn to use my abilities where I didn't have to worry about being cursed as much."
"Oh, well I wish you would've come to live with us, I've missed you."
"Me too, but it was safer to live with Jake."
"I know," I said, "you know you will be my best friend as long as I'm in existence, I actually asked to come with Aro for a different reason other than to cause people pain you know."
"You did?"
"Yes, see I found out that there were vegetarians here and I was tired of feeding on humans, you made me realize how wrong it is and I want to stop."
"Wow," she whispered.
"Please help me Myra."
"Of course I'll help you Alec, she said you are my best friend as well."
"Thank you," I said picking her up and spinning her in a circle as I hugged her.
Meanwhile at the house
Bella POV
I can't believe they know I'm a witch, I just hope that they don't say anything.
"So," Carsile said, "you think that newborns are behind the killings in Seattle?"
"Yes, and when I decide to come and see Jane and Alec wanted to come with me," he said, "Jane loves a good fight and likes the excuse of uncontrolled newborns, and I have no idea why Alec wanted to come he hates fighting unless attacked."
"Well than maybe there was some other reason," Edward said. Of course he would know I thought, he would have read it in his mind, "Something was blocking his thoughts however so I have no idea." Well never mind to that reasoning.
"Ah," Aro said, "That was probably Myra whenever she and Alec are together I cannot read his thoughts, I think she doesn't want me to and stops me."
"Why would that be," asked Alice, "What could she possibly wish to hide when she's around when you could find it out some other time."
"See that's the thing," he said, "whenever I read his thoughts after she is gone all of his thoughts pertaining to her seem as if they are behind a wall."
"How odd," said Carsile," I wonder what the two of them wish to keep a secret."
"That Carsile is absolutely none of your business," Myra spat walking back inside with Alec, "If I want to hide people's thoughts about me from others I will."
"We know that dear," whispered Esme," but please calm down."
"Yeah Myra," said Jake walking towards her, not caring that Alec hissed at him as he did so, "you need to calm down you're shaking and you phasing would be a bad idea."
"Myra you've begun to phase," Aro asked, "when."
"A few months ago uncle," she said, "that along with the fact that I didn't want to spend a summer with Jane and that I don't like your diet was a reason that I didn't come stay with you this summer."
"How odd I didn't even notice that you smelled different because of all the others here," Aro told her, "however if you all would like us to leave and are willing to take care of the newborn problem we shall leave since I know Myra does not like Jane being here."
"I would have to discuss that with my family," Carsile said, "but we may take you up on that."
"If you don't mind we must hunt," Aro said, "however we will go far to do so we shall be back in the evening for your decision."
"Actually Aro," Alec said, "do you mind if I stay, I'm not hungry. That is if it's ok with everyone else."
If you looked at Myra you could see that she wanted him to and Carsile noticed and said, "He may stay as long as he won't attack any of the others."
"Well Alec it is fine with me as well," Aro said, "and I know you won't go against anything Myra wants, and as I can see she wants you here it would be horrible to say no."
"Thank you both," Alec said.
Myra POV
"Well Alec," I said after Jane and Aro were gone, "lets go hunt."
"Hand on I thought you weren't thirsty," Rosalie said, "why didn't you go?"
"Yes and Myra are you hunting with him I thought you didn't hunt humans," Jasper asked.
"Would you please let me explain before you freak out," I said.
"Yes of course dear," said Esme, "please do."
"Well you all know that we went on a run and that he wanted to talk to me. Well what he wanted to talk to me about was telling me why he came, and what he wanted."
"And," Emmett asked, "What did he want?"
"I want to become a vegetarian like you guys," Alec responded.
"Yeah like we believe that you would stop killing bloodsucker," Sam growled.
"I'm serious, why do you think Myra always blocked my thoughts of anything to do with her," He said, "Whenever she was there I would only hunt animals I would just use the excuse of keeping her company while she hunted. That's why when I found out that you lived here I asked to come, I wanted your help to stop feeding from humans."
"I don't believe that," Jasper said.
"Myra can you take the block off his thoughts so I can see for myself," Edward asked.
"Sure," I said, "there you go."
As Edward read his thoughts so did I, reliving everything that happened when I visited even the one time when I kissed Alec because he told me that he wasn't going to feed off of humans as long as I was around. Oh, I hope he doesn't mention that. Then looking at Alec I realized he was thinking the same.
"Well I believe you," said Edward pulling out of his mind, "and I want to talk to the both of you later."
"Alright," I said," do you understand why I blocked his thoughts though?"
"Yes I defiantly do," he laughed.
"It's not funny," I growled.
"Well actually Myra," Alec said joining in on the laughter, "It is a little funny."
"Hey I thought you were supposed to be on my side," I said trying to keep a straight face but failing because I couldn't deny that it was funny, "I'm going to get you," I said giggling and jumped on him knocking him to the ground. Then he rolled me over so I was on my back and he was pinning me to the ground.
"Get off of me," I said.
"Nope," he said, "not until you admit that I win."
"Never," I growled playfully.
"Oh my god," said Edward in the background still laughing slightly, "just kiss her Alec you know you want to."
That however made Alec jump off me and back across the room.
"Thanks Edward," I said.
"I was serious," he said, "you never put the block up he wanted to." At that I blushed and finally noticed that everyone else had started laughing as well.
"Would you guys be quiet," I yelled.
"I don't know Myra," Alec said, "I agree with Edward I should kiss you." And with that he ran over and kissed me. It started out a nervous kiss and then he deepened it and we were kissing for what seemed like a few minutes but was only a few seconds when we heard someone clear their throat.
"Do you guys mind," Jasper said, "I can't take your emotions, I was so close to running upstairs with Alice."
"How do you think I feel when you are making out and I feel your passion," I asked, "Especially since I don't have anyone to express it with, so you can just deal."
"Sorry Myra," he said, "but we need to have a meeting about if we want them to leave, and I guess now if we want Alec to stay, or at least if we'll allow him to."
"You're right," I said.
"Well then," said Carsile, "let's vote. We shall go around the room, answer yes if you think we should handle the newborns on our own, or no if you think we should step back and let the Volturi. Edward?"
"Yes."
"Rosalie?"
"Yes, I want that bitch Jane off our land as soon as possible."
"Language," exclaimed Esme.
"Sorry," Rosalie whispered.
"Emmett?"
"I want them gone so much, it's obvious that if they stayed we'd have to break up more Myra/Jane fights and I don't like being almost killed by two young, angry vampires."
"Alice?"
"Well I can't see anything, so I'm guessing the wolves are involved, but I don't see Aro or Jane either so I guess it's a yes."
"Jasper?"
"Well I've fought newborns before and they're very difficult to beat so I won't say yes but if it's decided that we shall I will train you to fight them."
"Ok then, onto the pack," Carsile said, "Jake?"
"Defiantly yes I don't want those bloodsuckers here."
"Hey I take offence to that," Alec said jokingly.
"Not you," said Jake, "besides you make my little cousin happy so I doubt I could get rid of you without her killing me.
"Anyway," said Carsile, "onto Sam, what do you think?"
"I want those guys gone as well so yes."
"Jared?"
"Yes."
"Embry?"
"Yes"
"Quill?"
"Duh."
"Leah?"
"Of course I want them gone."
"Seth?"
"Defiantly us they need to leave."
"Well it's only fair to ask the three of you," Carsile said turning towards the three girls, "would you like us to handle it or do you want the Volturi to, Emily?"
"I think we should, I don't trust them."
"Me too," said Kim.
"What about you Bella," asked Carsile.
"Well," she said, "with all the deaths there has to be more than one newborn and the Volturi would probably need more guards so I think it's better if we do. And if we do I'm helping."
"You can't help," Edward exclaimed.
"Yes she can," I said calmly, "You remember the Volturi saying one of the humans was a witch."
"Yeah?"
"Well," Bella said, "that's me and while spells don't work directly on vampires, I can use magic on things around me to help."
"Well it's decided than," Carsile said, "we shall handle it. Now as for Alec staying with us."
