Chapter 3: The Treaty Negotiations

*Annie*

Saturday August 11th, Treaty Bonfire, Washington, USA

As of Tuesday of this week, I had been able to get in contact with the three elders and Sam of the Tribe. Sam and I had discussed certain items that we needed to let them know about, but not all of them. As Alice, Bella, Carlisle, Carlos, Cammie, Esme, Emmett, Edward, James, Jenny, Kendall, Logan, Rose, Wendy, and I were waiting for the members of the Council and the Pack to arrive, we broke off into small discussions about different things that will happen. We girls were talking weddings and the boys (at least Jasper and Emmett) were trying to convince Kendall and Edward to have a bachelor party. "NO! No bachelor parties are allowed!" Every single one of the girls yelled. I continued, "Especially to Vegas! You DO remember what happened LAST TIME you were there, right Emmett?" He had lost us 3 billion in today's money in 1975 and had gotten kicked out of every single casino there.

"Yes," Emmett said sulkily, "But this time it's not my party; it's Edward's and Kendall's."

"Yes, it is our party," Kendall said, "And I, for one, do NOT want one. I will NOT be subjected to the humiliation I saw on a video of my cousin's bachelor party." Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Edward, and I shuddered at the very memory of watching that disturbing video. It was very disgusting and the best man had planned it so that the groom would be so humiliated that he . . . let's not even mention what happened to him. Never a good thing, bachelor parties.

"Well who are the dead men walking?" Sam asked.

"Welcome Sam, my name is Her Royal Majesty, Annie Genevieve Masen Cullen, soon to be Knight, Lady of Camelot. The 'dead men walking' as you refer to them are my twin brother Edward and my fiancée, Kendall," I replied to Sam. One of the elders looked so angry for some reason, so I delved into his mind. This is ridiculous. I need to get Bella away from these leeches. I decided to lay into him as the teenagers of this time would say. "Elder Black, why must you berate me and my people? After all, I am the reason your tribe is still in existence. I gave your people the ability to traverse the spirit world which led them to becoming the shape shifters that they are today. My people have a much longer memory than yours; after all, we remember what has happened in our past lives, whilst you have no memory of the things that we have told you about anger and the side effects of the anger you hold against everyone and everything that has more power than you, Utlapa." Everyone gasped at that revelation.

This CANNOT BE! She knows who I am? – Billy Black

What is his son, then? Is he a person we need to watch? – Harry Clearwater

This is horrible! I thought that we did not reincarnate – Old Quil

"I must tell the truth," Wendy said, "My name is Wendy, Lady's maid to her majesty, and what Her Royal Majesty has just said is true. And you should watch Jacob Black. His mind is not one that anyone will wish to hear."

"I agree," Kendall stated, "That boy's mind is a cesspool of constant wants. The want of my queen/fiancée and the want of my future sister-in-law, to be exact. That boy will never be in his right mind. The only two Blacks that are completely sane that carry the family name of Black from the tribe are the twins, Rachel and Rebecca. I have only met Rebecca thanks to the concert in Hawaii." Kendall was sad that the twins were the only sane ones in that family. I am also sad about that, my darling. We must carry on and explain why we are here right now, I sent to Kendall.

"As all of this is news to us, I know that you all are not here for that reason. Pray tell, what is the reason for this meeting?" Sam asked.

"You are right to assume your true birthright Sam Uley, along with assuming the fact that we did not call this meeting to tell you that William Black and Jacob Black should be executed. The reason that we have called this meeting is that I wish to make a treaty between our people. I tell you truly, the Cullens are no longer cold ones. They are now immortals, sorcerers and sorceresses that will live forever and if killed will reincarnate and remember everything that they have already been through in their past lives. The treaty between the Golden eyed Cold Ones and your own people has been disbanded because they are no longer cold ones," I explained.

Harry Clearwater questioned me on this, "How are they no longer cold ones? There is no treatment once you are made into one."

"Actually there is," Logan explained, "only Annie can grant a vampire absolution if she so chooses. She can only grant it once a vampire finds his mate and both of them agree to becoming sorceretic."

"Why would a cold one need to find his or her mate before you absolve them, your majesty?" Sam asked.

"Much like your wolves, Chief Sam, vampires are only one half of a soul if they are alone. When they find their mate, they have found their other half. That is the reason that when a cold one loses their mate, they will go one of two directions, revenge or suicide. Those who seek revenge will try to kill the reason that their mate is dead, not knowing that he or she will reincarnate as soon as possible, then they become suicidal. There is one member of that world who is still in mourning over his other half; because she was killed by her brother and the brother never revealed that he is her murderer." Carlisle knew who I was meaning immediately.

"Are you saying that Aro killed Didyme?!" Carlisle stated while being stunned.

"Yes I am, my dear Count Carlisle," I stated. "I was even there when he killed her and told Marcus. The great and benevolent Lady Didyme has been missed greatly by both the vampires and our own kind, young shifters. She was a great woman for counsel and a great friend of ours. Back then, Lord Marcus and Lady Didyme were the ambassadors for the vampires to the kingdom of Avalon. Since we can no longer stand two of the rulers of the Volturi, we have only stayed in contact with those who can hide their true thoughts from Aro. Dimitri, Alec, Marcus, and Celeste are the four who I trust with the knowledge of who is new in our world. I gave Lord Marcus the ability to guard his true thoughts from Aro when Lady Didyme was killed. Dimitri and Alec are actually sorcerers and part of the royal family and Celeste is Dimitri's other half."

*Kendall*

There is a stirring of magic near us that put us men on edge. Someone just teleported nearby, either that is good news or bad. Considering that I have never met Dimitri, Celeste, Marcus, or Alec, and the fact that the magic feels similar to Annie's, I went into what Annie calls my 'king mode,' she says she has a similar mode. I walk away from the bonfire and towards the area that my senses tell me that someone is waiting for me.

As soon as I was near enough to the source of the stirring of magic, I spoke, "Who are you? What business do you have with the Crown of Avalon?"

"I should be asking you that second question, young one. But I digress; I am here to warn my sister about Jane and Aro. My name is one that every immortal has heard. It is Duke Oberon in Avalonian, in English I am known as Alec or Arthur," one of the four people said.

"You are Duke Alec then? I am inclined to think that Duke Dimitri and his Duchess Celeste and Lord Marcus are the other three with you then," I reply, "I am currently Kendall Knight, Crown Prince of Avalon and the fiancée to Annie Genevieve Masen Cullen, Lady of Camelot."

"I am Duke Dimitri and the woman besides me is my duchess, as you assumed our soon-to-be brother," Dimitri confirmed, "Do you know where we can find our sister and our other brother?"

"Follow me, but you might wish to stay in the shadows for now, Annie is brokering a treaty between Avalon and the shifters of the area," I warned.

(a/n: Yes, this story will be a Jacob-bashing story. When I read the entire Twilight Saga, I knew that Jake and Billy were manipulating Bella in a way that those who are truly evil would. Yes, there will be more to come as I leave this chapter at this place in the story. There is much more than anyone can know. And yes, in the prologue I have Renensmee with Jacob, but that will never happen. The real person there is not Jacob at all, he just looks like Jacob. {Yes I am EVIL like that} As usual, I do not own the rights to Big Time Rush or Twilight. I do wish that I was Kendall's girlfriend though. And until next time, Live your life with a Big Time Rush!)
