Eve POV

Demetri was standing behind, arms wrapped around my waist protectively. Moon light shone from his porcelain skin, he was beautiful even for a vampire.

Another smirk pulled at his perfectly sculpted mouth, 'I can think you're beautiful if I want, so get lost out of my head.'

"At least you admit you think I'm beautiful." His voice rang in the clearing, singing in harmony with the slight breeze that ruffled the grass strands.

"I've never, not said it, I'll have you know."

"Whatever, so what is so amazing about the moon that makes you stair at it night after night?"

"Haven't you ever wanted to go out there, see what it's really like for yourself?"

"Nope, not really, I don't think about those things."

"You're just annoying."

"Sure."

"What do you think about then?" With that question his protective grip tightened around me. "That's interesting."

We lapsed into comfortable silence for a while, listening to the owls sing, insects buzz and Demetri breathe.

Silence was interrupted when a small growl erupted from the foliage at the edge of the meadow, accompanied by that wet dog smell, great!

"Here doggie, doggie, doggie, do you want some kibble?" I hummed under my breath; they all heard though and came out from the cover of the trees and bushes, "how long have you been hiding there?"

One of the only humans standing present spoke, the others were in pup form, "since one of our members saw you practicing," man he was bloody tall, seven foot maybe. "We were wondering why you chose to practise; you are in no immediate danger."

"If we wish to practise that is our choice."

"If it is any risk to the people of La Push or Forks then it is our problem."

"It's okay, I'm not going to feed off of your precious town people, I like my dinner with a little more sun."

A growl erupted from all of the mongrels at my comment. Demetri had been awfully quiet so far in this encounter, probably letting me talk it out, COWARD!

"Lighten up we don't kill until we have to."

"You're not even meant to exist." That was another of the pack; he had scruffy hair and a square jaw.

"Shut up wolf boy." A snarl came from him then.

Demetri's pressure on my waist changed, suddenly his body was braced in front of mine, standing there protecting me from any angle that they choose to attack from. A growl passed between his lips, my stance stiffened behind him, maybe he read their thoughts, his ability as more defined than mine.

"Peace Paul, no harm must come to them, they are obviously oblivious to what happened."

"What happened?" Demetri asked through tense lips.

"One of your kind, possibly your coven, attacked some people of Forks and one from La Push. This happened within minutes of each other"

"Why would you think it was us?"

"You are the only vampires other than The Cullen's that are here within a hundred mile radius."

I spoke next, "well, we'll look into it, a stray nomad who was careless possibly, what do you think Demetri?"

"I think this holiday just turned into a work trip."

"What makes you think we can't handle one vampire?"

"It was obviously more than one, vampires may be quick, but the lack of skill of this attack shows that they are unskilled, probably only a couple of years old…"

"Or just crap hunters!" One of the wolf boys piped up.

"Yes, or just crap hunters, either way they were sloppy and would have been to distracted by their pray to move that quickly, so there was defiantly more than one, maybe four and that may not be all of them."

"We fought over twenty vampires five years ago; you weren't there to help, so I think we can handle a group of untrained leeches."

"What happened five years ago?" I asked.

"You weren't there, I knew she was new," this was one of the other scraggily wolf boys.

"I've been with The Volturi longer than five years, what happened?" Demetri answered me now.

"Newborn army, you were on that other job."

"Oh yeah I remember that, it was not nice."

*Flashback= 2010*

I was in a small town in England, it was down the South west, named Teignmouth.

There had been a few vampire attacks here so I came down here to deal with the culprit, a vampire named Austin.

He stood before braced for attack, prepared, his hair was snow white blonde, crimson eyes, and a sneer at the corner of his lips.

He thought I was a helpless newborn he could kill easily.

"What do you want?" He drawled at me.

"You have broken the law, you must be punished."

"What law?"

"Do not tell people what we are, they misunderstand. Who is that human that you are so addicted to?"

"Leave her out of this."

"What is her name?"

"Honey, leave her alone."

"Can't, she is a problem, who knows who she will tell about us?"

"She said she wouldn't. She promised me."

"Promises are there to be broken, back to the matter at hand, the law that has been broken must be paid for, in blood."

"You're a heartless bitch."

"You and her either die, or you change her into one of us, oh look here she is, decision time." I said as the girl came out in a trance like state that I had placed her in.

"I'll change her." He looked over at the girl, she had short dark brown hair that waved to her shoulders, green eyes and slightly pink skin. "I'm sorry Hon."

"It's okay, I want to be changed, I want to be with you forever."

Tenderly he scooped her up and placed her on the bed that was present in his flat.

"Can you control yourself Austin?"

"I hope so."

"I can do it if you need, blood lust isn't as strong for me as it is you, also she isn't my la tua cantante."

"You won't kill her?"

"No."

"Please, just don't kill her." Slowly I made my way over to the girl, she nodded at me reassuringly. My head tilted slowly towards her neck, blob pulsated through the veins there. Gushing warmly, the elixir of life.

She smelt of strawberries, slowly I bit into her neck, straight into a group of veins, her blood pooled around my mouth, but I managed to pull away.

Yells could be heard from her for the next three days.

Then she was completely changed and just needed to feed, with that I left them to be.

*End of flashback*

Weird.

"We'll look into the situation, if it is possible for you to take out the vampires in question we will leave it to you." I told them.

"Thank you…? Who are you?"

"Eve."

"Edward's sister."

"I tend to prefer being called Eve."

"Okay, well thank you for listening to us." With that they left.

"What do we do now?" I asked Demetri dumbly.

"Speak to Aro. What else?"

His body turned around to face mine; his lips gently brushed mine before he took my hand and led me to the house we were staying at. The living room light was on as we entered Demetri let go of my hand, which I was comfortable with, we didn't need anyone questioning what we were when I didn't even know.

All eyes turned to us when we entered, "where have you two been?" Alec asked.

Trust Felix to say, "Why the hell do you smell like puppies?"

Demetri spoke, recounting the whole story about the wolves showing up when we were sparring, then coming back later while I was standing about, Demetri came back to talk to me and spotted them. Their story about the attacks and wondering who it was and whether or not it was any of us.

That got everyone's attention. Then Alec growled when Demetri told him that we might leave it to the dogs to take care of if it is a minor situation.

Demetri was careful not to mention the kiss or any intense contact between us.

After that, Aro and Marcus went out of the room and into the night to talk.

Aro POV

Something was off with Demetri and Eve; they seemed more intense than usual around each other. Marcus had brought me out here then he glanced at me, "Aro give me your hand."

As soon as my hand touched his, I felt what he felt, what he had seen, heard and smelt.

He focused on Demetri, I got; Confusion, on why he was so drawn to her when she came; need, needing to be around her as much as possible, that's why he looked after her when she came; hope, hope that she liked him; love, love for the way she did things, the way she spoke and looked around things curiously, or the way she could get lost in looking at something she wouldn't realize she was looking until something got her attention back; and finally lust, lust to be everything to her and to just be able to hold her hand.

Then he focused on Eve; Loss, loss of what she thinks she won't ever have- comfort, that's all she wants is comfort; happiness, when Demetri comes and spends time with her; nerves of what Jane would think if she told her that her and Demetri kissed- wait kissed?- Joy over the fact that Demetri had kissed her; and fear that she actually may not mean anything to him.

The emotions that were shot at me were intense, usually Marcus' ability only picked up the relationship between two people, this was details on how that relationship felt to the two people in question, interesting.

"Well Marcus, that was very… Different."

"It came as soon as they both stepped into the room, swarming me."

"Maybe we should head back."

"What will you do about it Aro?"

"See how it plays out."

"Very well, let's go."

Then we walked back to the house.
