Chapter Six :
The next couple weeks had been full of moving out, Wedding planners, girls days out. Plus Demetri being especially sweet to me. I had finally moved out my dad's house. I said goodbye to Marie, Max, and my father. Demetri even said he would force me to come and visit over the holidays and much more.
I drove with him to airport. Turns out Demetri spoke with Aro and his wife and got a good deal on a house close to the Volturi tower. So he could still do his job and I could find some time to visit him with out getting lost. Though having a tracker for a husband, I don't think I would get lost very often.
Demetri said that before we got married I would have to meet Aro's wife. I think Demetri called her Ellasalia? She sounded very pretty. Very beautiful infact. He said she was alot like me and that she was young and enjoyed the finer things of this generation. She was a little less like her husband since he was so much more older. They loved each other and tried to enjoy the company of others when in all reality they would rather be alone together. I heard that just like Bella and Edward, Ella and Aro had a daughter.
It sounded like fun. I guess I would soon be part of the Volturi since I needed training for being a soul switcher. I hadn't used my powers in a very long time. I should soon though. So I could practice. So I could show off my skills infront of the elders of the Volturi. Demetri sounded almost excited ot be back in the Volturi. Which was odd, he said he hated them.
The ride to the air port was boreing, especially Demetri was in one of his moods to listen to his music. I didn't mind really, it gave me a chance to clear my thoughts. I told Demetri I would be practiceing my power more often and he just laughed. I was hopeing that the laugh was him remembering some joke in his head, not him being an ass whole. He can sometimes do that.
I didn't really wanna be far from my friends and Family, so Demetri promised me in a couple of years we would go back and stay there for a couple of years then move back to italy. I asked him how many years he was talkimg about, and he said a decade. I almost chocked, most of the people I loved would already be dead. Except for the wolves. Unless, Avery and Marie became wolves or Vampires they would be dead. I scolded Demetri for that and with held any "Fun" He wanted that night.
Being that we would soon be married, we would be able to expeirence the natural things humans and un-married people couldn't handle. There were secrets I could share. Dark ones, yet fun ones. There was a special Vampire kiss known as a "Black kiss" It's whats happens when one Vampire cuts their lip, then shares the blood and venom with another Vampire. It makes you feel dizzy and almost like your drunk.
From what Alice and Bella tell me, It feels amazing.
I yawned slumping down in the seat and looked out the window. I'm going to miss the beautiful bright green trees and the amazing crisp smells of the rain. I was born and raised in washington. When it was a light drizzle, I would be out in a tank top and flip flops. The rain cooled me down and made me smile. I was going to miss the Washington rain. In Italy it would be mostly sunny. Have some rain, and some snow. Nothing like Washington though.
I looked up at Demetri and he was singing along to one of his songs. I would complain sometimes that he never talked to me when we were in the car. I already knew what gift I was going to get him this year for Christmas. An Ipod or if they were cheeper an MP3 player. So he could put on all of his favorite music on it. Then maybe he'll have more time to listen to his favorite songs, and a little more time to talk to me. Thats all I ever wanted from him was a time to talk.
Though, in all honesty, I didn't really care. I had time to think to myself. He had time to play with his music. We were both happy. Kind of a comprimise if you will.
As I sat up to stretch we parked at the air port. We met Alice and Jasper there. They ran so they could take the car back. Demetri helped me out and got our air plane tickets. We took the normal plane that every one else took since we wern't in a hurry. We got to sit next to each other though. Me being very sleepy, again, I leaned on his shoulder falling asleep.
"Are you comfortable next to the window?"
"Yes..."
"Don't fall asleep...You'll miss Volterra"
"Wake me up when we pass by it?"
"Sure, why not?"He laughed softly.
"Thank you.."
"yeah, your welcome"
"Demetri?"
"Yes my love?"
"Tell me more about Volterra?"
"Well..."He said with a chuckle"Do you want to know about the Volturi or about The actual Volturi tower and all it's glory?"He said sarcastically.
"I wanna know more about The Volturi?"
"Alright well, You already know Felix and I are part of the gaurd. Then theres Aro, Caius and Marcus. Marcus and Caius are kinda the main two leaders, Aro is kinda just the voice because he talks SO much. It's kinda one of his strong holds?"He laughed and nudged me to see if I was still awake.
"Really?"I said sleepily.
"Yeah, Then theres Jane and Alec, their brother and sister. Their pretty young, like 12 or 13 years old. Jane's power is kinda harsh, whatever you do, promise me you won't upset her? She will hurt you..."
"I promise Demi..."
"Good, now Alec, I havn't really paid any attention to his power, in fact I'm not even sure he has one?...No, No, He does. He can block your senses, like sight, smell, hearing, everything..."
"Does it hurt?"
"I don't think so, he's never actually done anything to me so..."
"Oh..."I said with heavy eyelids.
"Man, why are you soo sleepy...your wayy sleepier then before?"
"I dunno..."I yawned.
"Hmm...Leila! Baby look! It's Volterra!"he shook me till I opened my eyes and looked out to the big city before me.
"Oh my god..." It was full of beautiful golden stones and water ways. You could see the Volturi tower clearly.
I smiled and Demetri held my hand, his cold fingers locked with mine"Welcome My Love"
When we got off the plane, the warm air gave me a gentle smile. The ones to greet us at the airport were Felix and who I presume to be Ellasalia. Aro's wife. I smiled as Ella ran to me, she gave me a hug and smiled at Demetri. Her teeth sparkling white, Her eyes just as beautifully red.
"Welcome home you two!"She looked me up and down"My, My...Demetri she is quite the pretty one! She will make a fine wife for you!"
"Mama V, Your embaressing me!"He said blushing.
"Nice ot meet you Mrs. Volturi"I said bowing almost.
"Oh please honey, call me Ella!"
"Okay!"I said with a smile, trying to match her cheerfulness"Anyways, I'm a little lost in this city...I-"I was cut off by Ellasalia. She just giggled and nodded.
"Come right this way, I'll get you settled into your new home!"
As we walked Felix slapped Demetri on the back. He said something in Italian that made Demetri turn bright red, then elbow Felix in the stomach. I heard the words "your a pervert!" then brought my focus back to Ellasalia. Who was holding my hand rushing to, what looked like a limo. I could feel her push me into the massive car and Felix do the same with Demetri.
"Way to go man, Finally lost your virginity right?"
"Dude! shut up! can we talk about this later, like when I'm not around our Masters wife and my Fiance'!"
I giggled and waved my hand, like it was nothing"Oh whatever Demetri! Alice asked for sizes and everything!"His face turned bright red again, Rather, it never stopped.
Ella went on talking about all the cool things her and I could do before I got married to Demetri. She said We could go dress shopping and plan the wedding. All this fun stuff that I just sat back and slowly nodded my head. I laughed almost and looked back at Demetri. He was being bombarded with inapropriate qestions from Felix.
"Dude! how big? What Size is her bra, man come on? Don't hold back!"Demetri covered his ears while I answered for him.
"32 Double D"
"DAMN!"
I laughed and turned my attention back to Ella. She laughed too, but scolded Felix for not being quite a Gentleman. Demetri thanked god underneeth his breath and then, Pestered Felix. I looked back to Ella as she put her hand to my forhead.
"Honey you look green...Are you feeling alright?"
"Yeah! I'm fine! why?"That was a lie, I've been Nauseous all day. I just didn't want Demetri to worry and cancel our flight.
"You don't look fine, honey your going straight to bed after we get home!"
"awww... but I wanna go out and do all these fun things with you Mama?"I said all cute like.
"Ohhh...Demetri!"she scolded.
"What!..Oh!"He stopped when he saw my face, aparrently, I did look like I was gonna puke"Yeah, honey, Ellasalia's right. You need to rest..."
"Demetri..."I whined.
"No, Tell the driver to go home"
Ella glarred at him, for giveing her orders, but, She understood he was only trying to protect his soon-to-be wife. She told the driver to take them to a house next to the tower. He nodded to her and turned at a right. Now that I knew we were going home, I gave in and put my head in my hands.
"Oh! honey...Where is a trash can?"
"Here!"Felix quickly shooved it in my face.
I didn't want to puke infront of everyone, so I gripped the sides of the trash can, clawed into it like a mad man. Wishing, Hopeing that nothing would come out. Though luck seemed to be on a different side then my own. I coughed harshly then felt something warm and foul tasting force it's way out of my throat. I cried almsot from the pain it gave me. I hated the fact all this was happening infront of such high ranked people. Especially Aro's Wife.
The gushy remainders of what I had for breakfast this morning, made me even more sick. All I wanted to do now, was lean back, curl up next to Demetri and cry. I held in my tears though. The pain was horrid. It felt like something was burning inside me. I puked a few more times before I felt like I was going to pass out.
"This is soo strange! Vampire's aren't soposed to get sick like this?"Felix said astonished.
"Leila! Please be okay honey!"Demetri said panicing.
"Oh my, We'll have to call Carlisle when we get home..."Ella said worried.
I walked in, well, Scratch that, I was carried in by Demetri. I wanted the moment we walked in our new home to be special, But it ended up being the moment when we all paniced and worried. Demetri laid me down on the bed we would be sleeping in most of the time, and sat there holding my hand. Assuring me I would be okay. Ella rushed to the phone and called Carlisle. He said it was probably just some strange flu, But he would stop by to make sure. Felix got me water and kept me close to the bathroom.
I took a nap and dreamed this would all be over with. I hated feeling sick. I ahted to worry my family, or Demetri. I loved them all and hated to be a burden. I could feel Demetri's cold hands wrap around mine. Ever since I became a vampire, Demetri hasn't felt that cold to me anymore. Infact, he's felt soo much better. So much warmer thne before. I enjoy his touch more andm ore each day. Maybe it the fact I've gotten colder, and He has just stayed the same.
My attention was broken when Ella walked over and asked me a qestion I would soon not forget,
"Leila? When was your last period?"
I thought for a moment, My head was spinning so much I couldn;t help but grumble. I didn't want to but thats all that came out. I took a while when thinkign about this my last period was proabably a month ago. Wait? was that right? Was I soposed to be getting one soon?
"I don't Remember?"I mumbled threw the blankets Demetri wrapped me in.
"What?"Ella asked again.
Demetri heard me though. His eyes widened and his face turned paler then his usual pale. If any one looked like they were gonna be sick it was him now. He jumped up and grabbed the phone from Felix's hand. He kept shouting things in Italian. I couldn't hear nither did I care for I began to cough again feeling the horrible urge to puke. I kept it in though. Demetri came back around and looked at me.
"Leila...Honey don't you worry, everything is going to be just fine!"
That scared me. Whenever some one say, things are going to be fine, that usually ment something big, and bad was going to happen. I jumped from my seat feeling dizzy again and looked up at him.
"What do you mean?"I shouted.
"Well..."Ella said for him"Carlisle thinks you might be...Pregnant?"
"What!"I shouted again.
"Honey it's okay, Bella's had a baby, I've had a baby, Things are going to get rough these next couple months, but...you'll be okay. I was, Bella was. You will be too...unless you want to give it away?"
"I-i..Ah..."I was in so much shock I couldn't speak.
"NO"Demetri said sternly"I will stand by Leila's side till the very end, We don't even know if this is really what's happening! and If it is, We'll make our desions when we know!"He shouted angrily almost. It almost seemed like he's wanted this.
"Demetri Volturi!"Ella yelled shocked"How dare you take that tone of voice with me!"
"I'm sorry but thats the way things are going to go!"I've never seen Demetri stand his ground like this before. He turned to me then"Leila, This is all up to you...You don't have to decide now, but soon?"
I shook and looked away, I didn't want to knwo if it was true or not. I was so scared.
Thank goodness for Carlisle. He came straight down, He checked me out and found out I wasn't pregnant. It turns out I was only 98% Vampire. The other 2% was human, so it was not only possible for me to become Pregnant. It was also possible for my to get the flu. That's exactly what I had at the time as well. Demetri was soo freaked out he was about to have a heartattack, If Vampires could even get those.
From that moment on I was soposed to be careful with my health. I told him I was still a newborn and that I could defend myself from sicknesses but he still wanted me to be careful. He jsut loves me is all.
"are you sure your okay?"
"Yes I'm fine babe...I'm just getting over this damn flu"
"Man...thank god it was sjut the flu"
"What do you mean?"
"Well..."He blushed slightly"I was really worried about you and if it were real, our baby...But it never happened, you were jsut sick and thats good, that your getting better..."the way he spoke was all over the place.
"Demetri?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you want a baby?"
"S-sorta?"
I looked at him trembling almost and I thought to my self What if we did have a baby? I kissed his soft pale cheek gently and curled my fingers with his. I looked up into his now blood red eyes, from drinking the blood of humans. He looked down at me and kissed the top of my head. I snuggled close. We were sitting on the comfortable black pleather couch. It was soft and very light. Since we've working on theh osue soo much I would sometimes pass out on this couch. This beautiful couch.
Demetri kissed me more as his face turned from pale to red slightly. I leaned abck and he leaned ontop of me. Every touch was like a gentle touch from a god. I felt like time slowed down. Either that, or we were moving at such a fast pase. I looked up at him as he gentle touched my cheek. His lips touched mine softly. His cold freezing lips. They wer soft and comforting almost.
I pulled him in closer, My eyes matching his, I almost begged for it, I almsot cried out for it. Demetri saw were this was going, so he stopped. He gave me a smile still ontop, and kissed my head. He held my hand and looked deep into my own blood red eyes. His words soft spoken like a whisper.
"After our wedding night..."
"Demetri...?"
"Trust me"
"Till the ends of the earth mio amore " I smirked at him.
"What luck, your first Italian words. Such beautiful ones too..."
Max's Point of Veiw :
My sister has been gone for about two weeks now. Jacob hasn't been the same, He's been grumpier and wayy more willing to attack the Cullens as of late. Though my father always stands in his way. Jacob knows by now the power my father holds. After all, He broke most of Ethan's bones after he attacked my sister's leeche lover.
So, My sister has imprinted, so to speak, on a Vampire, and I'm stuck here alone. There really is no one for me to Imprint on. The only other girl we knew besides my sister was Avery. She's mated with Logan already. Guess I'm gonna be alone for a much longer time then I expected.
In some way, I'm glad Leila is gone. For one she's happy. Two we won't have to hunt down The Cullens anymore. Three she won't bring any more trouble, as much as I Love my sister, and Four, We have a better chance at winning this damn Vamp-Wolf war now. She was in our way. Jacob didn't want to fight unless there was a reason, now theres a reason in his eyes.
Which is unfortunate. She would have been an excelent wolf. A fast runner, A good fighter. Her power would be useful too. Though threw everything thats happened so far, I envy her. She doesn't have to be burdened with the thoughts of others, and the life of a wolf. I may be Beta, But I don't like listening to the laws wolves have. I'd much rahter be a Vampire.
I was born this way though. There is no going back, Though, If I had the choice Leila had, I may have gone the way she's gone now. Maybe even, I would have joined her. I guess you could say I miss my sister.
I was interupted with my thoughts by the thoughts of my father. He was already for a run that night. Jacob paired me and my dad together for Patrol. In all honesty I would have gone a Diffrent route, But this works too.
"C'mon lazy ass...Let's get going!"
"Commin' pops!"I sang almost.
I hoped out the door and out side, Dad and I both took our shirts off and ran. I coudl feel the change coming onto me. I felt my arms popping into a place were they shouldn't go. My hands forcing them selfs into paws. My finger nails into claws. My nose formed into an animal snout. A black nose took it's place instead of the fleshy one I had before. My fur grew all around me. Dark brown with a slight white chest, and a white tip at the end of my tail. My eyes glanced at my paws for a moment. I shook my head and kept running.
It was simple form, yet so complex all the same. My father just had a dark brown fur. It looked black at night, but in the sun it was beautifully brown. My dark brown fur was the same, but with white it blended more evenly.
As much as Jacob is the Alpha, My father does test him. If Jacob says something we don't like my father will growl at him and make sure he knows he didn't like that. Most of the time, Jacob will listen. It wasn't right because Jacob Black was alpha, and if dad wanted to be alpha, he should've taken the chance we he had it.
Dad and I walked around and took the patrol like usual. We ran. We watched the border. Till we sniffed out some strange Vampire smell. It wasn't the Cullens Usual corpse smell. It smelled different.
"Dad!"I called to him in my head.
"I smell it too..."
"Who the hell is it?"
"Most likely, some driffter...Howl for Jacob"
I Howled to the sky, Hoping Jacob and the others woudl respond. Sure enough the others followed behind.
"Whats going on!"
"Vampire...I actually sniffed around theres more. A whole coven"
"Cullens?" I heard Lucas ask.
"No, Some others...They left blood behind too...It's stale like they were here before Leila Left...I think They might have been here for her?"
"Or protecting her..."I grumbled.
"What was that Max?" Jacob snorted.
"I'm saying what if they smelled the Wolf scent we left behind and they wanted to protect her?"
"That's silly!" Owen called out.
"That would never happen!" Lucas laughed almost.
"All Vampires are disgusting Beasts!" Ethan replied, Still weak from my father beating him.
"Whatever..." I said anoyyed.
I growled and Ran off while the rest of the pack disgused it. I glarred out atthe city unimpressed. No one listened to me unless I read some one's mind. I missed Leila now, She was the one who listened to me. The rest of the pack only paid attention when I was needed. And that was rare. Not unless we were talking about a major danger. Even then. I missed Leila. Why'd she have to leave me?
Just as I was mopping, I heard footsteps. A Female Vampire was stalking prey. I could hear her thoughts. She was frustrated thinking she was never goign to grasp the buck infront of her. I followed. Her thoughts intrigued me. I saw her. She wasn't one of The Cullens. She had Light brown hair and golden eyes. Fair pale skin. When she scared the buck off I chased after it and drug it back to her. I dropped it at her feet.
"What on earth?"She said looking at me. I turned aroudn, grabebd my pants and formed back into a human to talk to her.
"Hi! The name's Maximum West, Unfortunatly my dear, your hunting on wolf territory, if you take this buck now, I'll hide your scent"
"How Can I trust you mutt?"
"Well, I read minds, My home is all the way over there where my human step-mother lives and my almost-alpha father lives. I trust you enough to know you won't do anything stupid?"I smiled at her.
"Your kinda stupid aren't you?"
"Thats what your lips are saying but your thoughts say something totally different?"
Her hair was short. Pixie short. She reminded me of Alice almost. I've met alice only a couple times, but I know she's okay and trust worthy. This new vampire was trust worthy too, I just wouldn't say it allowed. She glarred at me like some stranger but I knew she thought I was kinder then usual wolves.
"Look, I could have easily chased you off and eaten this buck my self, It's not even quite dead yet so you won't have to drink the blood of the dead or fear you didn't have the first kill...I'm not stupid, I just know alot about your kind...My sister became one not that long ago when she should have been a wolf. I understand"
"Wait a minute? Your Max...West?"
"That's right"
"My Coven and I have been searching for a Leila West. We fear for her"
"I knew it! You are trying to protect my sister!"
"Of course, Why would we want to harm some one of our own kind? Unless she's broken the rules?"
"No! Not at all, Or at least I don't think she has? She's in Italy right now with her "Fiance" So, Her scent won't do you much good here..."
"I knew it...Her scent was very stale. My brother thought she must have already been killed?"
"Wait, some ones trying to kill Leila?"
"Thats right...I know we just met and all, but your her brother so you should know this. Anyways, My Coven is trying to become a "Vegi-Vamp" Family. Some others don't agree with that right?"She said Taking a bite into the buck. She killed it while drinking most of it's blood. Getting her fill.
"I guess. I knew the Denali's and the Cullen's were the only Vegi's so far"
"Well, The Moretti Coven is tryign to do the same. There are 4 boys and 5 girls"
"Damn, Too many girls for me to handle"
"And your pack of male werewolves is enough?"
"Thats cuz were all boys and we don't care if we phase back into human naked, We've all seen it before!"
"Oh my god..."She rolled her eyes playfully.
"Anyways, A Russian Coven has disagreed with the turning of a certain Leila. They have been after her for the past three weeks. So I, and my family, have been out trying to protect her and her family. The Cullens have been updated on whats going on though. We told them they were not to fight, we don't want them in this..."
"Well, at least Vampires have manners..."
"What's that s'posed to mean?" she snapped
"It's not what you think it means!...Look, I don't like my pack. The only ones I like are my four friends and my father. Every one else are completely tools in a huge tool box!"
"Your the first guy, That I've met, that has actually called his friends tools..."
"They are! they aren't even my friends! Logan, Ethan, Owen and Lucas are all my friends, Then my father Ailean can do a better job as Alpha then Jacob can! The other 8 are just tools! they have no respect for women.. or...me"
"What?"
"Look, You have it lucky. Vampires follow rules true, we all do, But Wolves have to check in with their Alpha constantly. Don't do that Max, Your gonna phase infront of humans, Don't friend that person Max were only friends with the Cullens and even then...Your constantly under watch and the second my Father and sister became on radar I've been watched even by my god damn friends...And I'm the freaking Beta!"
"Wow. Your right. I am Lucky to be a Vampire. Your also wrong..."
"Oh yeah..?"
"Yeah..." Even though she was being snippy, she had a soft sound to her voice, as if she was completely calm and wasn't trying to be snippy at all "I mean, You don't crave human blood constantly. You don't have to hide yourselves in the sunlight. You aren't hated as much as you think you are...You don't have to change your diet, you can still eat the foods you enjoy and love! you have soo much personal freedom then you think Max!"
I looked at her, as if she was just some normal, human. I knew she wasn't though. She was soo much more"What's your name?"
"My name is Juniper Moretti"
I smiled at her. She seemed to smile back and feel more comfortable around me. That was good. In a strange way she sorta reminded me of my sister. In a way I could tell she was one of good blood, not bad. She had her quirks and her traits that jsut, Intriged me! I was amazed at her thoughts. I had to read more, but I also didn't want to be rude. So I had see her more. Miss Moretti.
We sat and talked for a few more hours till I heard the thoughts of the other Pack members. I shuddered and told her to run. I told her to run back to where her Coven was. I woudl cover her scent as much as I could. I phased into a wolf and turned back to her with my amber eyes I hoped she understood.
"I hope I see you again Maximum West"
I nodded to her and covered her scent up. First I rolled my self around in the dead corpse of the buck. I hated it I actually did feel like dog just then but I ignored it. The others hsowed up and thought It odd I was rolling around in a dead corpse. It hid the smell of vampire from fresh to 3 weeks stale though. We seemed to think she was heading east so Juniper and her Coven would be safe.
When I went back home, all I coudl think about was Juniper. She was beautiful and soft. She was strong and fast. These were all qualities of a Vampire though. Was I falling for her Vampire beauty? Was I becoming a victim?
I shook my head and turned away from the thought. I laid back in my sheets and heard my father and Marie giggling. Hopefully they wern't going to do what I thought they were going to do. I just sighed and tried to go to sleep. My dreams were filled with a beautiful young owmen in a white dress. At first I thought it was my head playing tricks on me again, then as I watched this short film play in my head I looked closer.
It was Leila. She looked happy, she held the hand of Demetri and he looked happy too. I was happy. They were happy. This was a Happy dream so far. So far. When I looked again I saw these nicely dressed people chasing after them. First Demetri stood infront of Leila protecting her. The figures killed him. Then they killed Leila. When I looked closer the one killing Leila was Juniper. The one killing Demetri was Aro. I knew it was him from the descriptions Edward gave me.
I quickly opened my eyes to Marie sitting at my bed worried. She touched my head. My sweaty head and looked at me. She was worried like a mother would be for her 4 year old baby whos broken his arm. She almsot had tears in her eyes as my father ran in too. He was worried as well as it was obvious.
"What the hell is going on Max!"He shouted.
"M-max...?"Marie whispered.
"I saw...L-leila a-an Demetri's death..."
"They can't die?"
"They did Father!..."I then sat up and explained everythign from me meeting Juniper, to what she told me, to my recent dream.
"Could this come true Marie?"He asked Marie wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Maybe...But Alice is the one with the vissions. The only other explination is Leila is gonna be in trouble and you found out first because you care for your sister...some close siblings have a connection like that?"
"I'll call Edward..."
I stood up as my father said something in another language. I listened to him grumble and found it was french. It was curious the way my father spoke in french but I didn't pay much attention. I was mainly looking for Edward at the momment.
"Hello? Max?"
"Hey man, Look We need to talk. I had a creepy ass dream and It's about Leila"
"Alice just saw it, come on we'll meet out side my house"
I told my dad were we would be and I quickly ran out. I didn't phase but I ran fast to where the Cullens lived. I wore my leather jacket and ra nmy fingers thre my dark brown long hair. Well, Semi Long. It was just over my earlobes. It wasn't long like Bella's or Marie's. I Walked up the steps and Edward already opened the door. I looked at Alice.
"You saw it?...Demetri, Leila? Aro killing him and Ju-Juniper killing Leila?"
"Yes"
"I met Juniper! She said her and The Moretti Coven have been trying to protect her from the Russian Coven. She never said their name but All I now is it's Got to be true! She said she was a Vegi-Vamp"
"Max, Juniper Moretti has been telling the truth so far, except one thing..."
"Juniper isn't a Vegi-Vamp, She drinks Human blood. She's the only one of the Moretti Coven that does. The russian Coven your talking about? They are The Tarasov Coven. They have nothing to do with this situation since thye are all the wasy in Russia right now...She's lied. I've talked to Angeline the Coven's Co-leader. She's been missing for three days, and she's come home smelling like Wolves and human blood"
"This can't be! I read her thoughts... She was clean! No Human blood craving or evil thoughts at all!"
"She must have hid them..."Edward said softly"People do that"
"You can't be serious? Please!"
"Max?.."Esmee said suspicious"Have you imprinted on this girl?"
"I don't know, I just kinda think about her alot"
"If you havn't already...you will soon"
"What IF I just think she's really cute and stuff..."
"Well, your very upset she may be Evil?"Emmett said smugly.
"I'm gonna freaking punch you!"I yelled.
"Max!"Edward yelled"Can...I see you outside?"
Since Leila has wanted to be a Vampire, Edward and I have become good friends. It was odd the way a Vampire and Werewolf could be friends. We hated the way we smelled but we did hang around each other from time to time. I had alread ygraduated so every now and then I'll ask him to a race. I've never met any one besides the pack where I could hear their thoughts, and they could hear mine.
"I understand yoru worry for your sister, and these feeligns you have for Juniper. Let her go though...Leila and Demetri are our main concern at the moment"
"Edward, I trust you, Infact your probably the only Vampire I truly trust, but Man, I jsut have a bad feeling about this...She WAS completely normal, Ed, She was!"
"She wanted you to think that way...She is looking to kill Leila"
"This shouldn't happen! the one time I decided to trust another Vampire besides you I end up their Pawn"
"Not exactly, she may have noticed Leila not being here and left"
"I told her she was in Italy. Becasuse I trusted her Edward"
"What!"
"Yeah, I know, I'm not gonna trust nay one like that ever again. I thought she was truly trying to help Leila"
"She may still..."
"What?...But you just said?"
"Listen..."
"I need to find Max and tell him about these Vampires. The Cullens should know too. What were their names? Christine, Lily, Richard and Ulric? Yeah that was it...I have to find them...Oh please Max! Hear my thoughts!" They were Juniper's thoughts.
"Juniper!"I called out to her"I hear you!"
"Max!"Edward scolded.
"Max! Where are you!"She called back.
"Juniper!"
She came running down the hill and Into my arms almost. I turned my head to Edward and grinned almsot but I kept myself undercontrol. He knew what I was thinking though. I came back to it and looked down at Juniper.
"What's going on!"
"Their going to Italy! Their gonna kill Leila!"
