POV Cynthia
I left them outside and went to the dining room where I sat at the head of the table with a book. It didn't take long for them to find me. I motioned to the chairs next to me "sit we have a lot to talk about" Bella sat to my right while Bree sat to my left.
I put the book in front of me and started. "when I was turned this was the only thing my maker left me. They left me to find out what I was on my own. I will not do that to either of you." They both looked gratefully at me.
I took a deep breath "I will start by telling you what you are becoming. Werecats come in many shapes and forms. Some examples are Bobcats, Cheetahs, Leopards, Cougar, Jaguar, Lions, Pumas, and Tigers. Just because I am a lion does not mean you will be."
I looked at them they both looked worried "it does not matter what kind of cat you are when I bit you both I claimed you as my family." Hoping to convey how important they are to me I added. "I will be there for you no matter what."
They both looked relieved but didn't say anything, so I continued. "all were-creatures have super-human strength and stronger senses like vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. We are abnormally fast all this in both forms. We are Immortal. We will never age."
"we can communicate telepathically but it is controlled. For example, it only works if you want to say something and all the other person hears is what you want them to. There are creatures called shifters. They are like hybrids between were-creatures and humans. Where a were-creature is made by biting for them its genetic. They have something similar but for them, it's not controlled anything you think can be heard even if you don't want it to"
Bree gasped so I turned to her "sorry I forgot to tell you there are other supernatural beings out there. For example, vampires are real. Do you remember Riley?" I waited for her to nod "he was a vampire and that's what he wanted to turn you into, but I stopped him"
I gave them some time to process what I said before I continued "Becoming a werecat will increase your patience, sense of adventure, grace, and curiosity." That last one I said with a smirk "don't worry curiosity doesn't kill a cat. That is just an old saying" that at least got them to chuckle.
"All werecats have the power to heal any living thing as long as it has a soul."
Bella spoke up at that "does that include vampires"
I looked at Bella "yes, that does include vampires. As long as they have not lost their humanity and are not completely burned to ash"
"we also have a natural shield that stops powers from working on us if it is not a physical attack. For instance, I once met a vampire that could project an atmosphere of happiness affecting all around her. Her power did not work on me."
Bree looked at me as if she had a question "Bree do you want to ask me something" I'm going to have to work on her confidence.
"um I uh are there a lot of supernatural beings and do a lot of them have powers" she questioned while bowing her head
I smiled at her "well I have only met shifter and vampires, so I don't know if there are more. As for the powers vampires and were-creatures only but not all of them." I looked at both of them "powers are an extension of an ability you had in your human life. I was always a good judge of character so when I turned, I could see auras or souls and interpreted them."
"So, we might not have a power" Bella asked
"It's possible but there is no way of knowing until it manifests itself after you turn for the first time."
"when will we turn" Bree enquired
"tomorrow or Sunday it only takes two days for your feline to make itself known"
"does it hurt?" they asked at the same time
"Not if you accept it as a part of you" I sighed "the first few times I phased were very painful. It only stopped hurting when I accepted what I was"
"Um, do we turn every full moon" Bree was finally looking me in the eyes when she spoke.
"No, but it is necessary to turn at least once a month" I got up "I'm going to order some pizzas now it's already 1:30" I said looking at my watch "is meat lovers good or do you guys want something else?"
"That's fine" Bella answered, and Bree just nodded in agreement. So, I left them to call in the order.
POV Bree
When she left, I turned to Bella "how did you meet Cynthia?"
She smirked at me "she saved me from a vampire named Laurent like she saved you. Only Laurent wanted to kill me, and Riley wanted to turn."
That got me thinking "I wonder why he wanted to turn me I'm nobody special"
She looked like she was going to say something, but Cynthia came back "you are very special never doubt that Bree. And your stories are linked more than me saving you both" she said sitting back down. "I already ordered the pizzas they will be here in 50 minutes to an hour." She turned to Bella "why don't you tell her what has happened since you moved to Forks."
Bella looked hesitant but told me about leaving her mom and moving here. How she met Edward. How Esme became like a mother to her. Her best friend Alice was like her sister. How it was looking good until she met James's coven. They were a group of three nomadic vampires. James with the power of tracking sense. Victoria his mate had the power of enhanced self-preservation. And Lauren the one Cynthia saved her from after all the Cullens left her unprotected.
When she told me about Edward and how she left her in the woods that pissed me off. She was crying so hard at the end that I went to hug her. "Cynthia says we are family now, so I'll be your sister from now on. We don't need parents or Idiotic vampires that don't know how to treat us. We have each other." I said as we held each other.
When we were done, I turned to Cynthia and she was looking at me with pride in her eyes. "that's right from now on we are sisters and we will be there for each other." She looked at Bella "is it alright with you if I finish the story?" Bella nodded. When I went to go sit down again, Bella pulled me onto her lap. "I'm going to be there for you guys to no matter what" I snuggled into her.
Cynthia smiled at us before explaining what happened after she destroyed Laurent. How she met two vampires named Irina and Eleazer. How her power saved Irina. How they tracked Victoria and found Riley and me. When she told me what they were going to use me for and what they planned for Bella I was glad she stopped them.
