sorry about the wait you guys turned out I had a lot to do for the last couple of days. I don't think I will be able to update everyday anymore but I will try to do it every other day or something similar. stay with me guys.

ok so one of you offered up names for the coven, either the swans or the hales, let me know which one you like better or if you have any other suggestions.

as always please review with any questions or comments, I will be happy to answer them in the next chapter.

with that said here is the next chapter.

The next day I was once again sitting in the bar, I was making plans for the James issue with the news playing on one of the TVs. I took a sip of coffee and looked at a map of Washington trying to figure out where he could be. Rose was upstairs taking a shower, when the news caught my eye.

"tragic news occurred this morning when a body was found at the worf early this morning. Police and paramedics arrived at the building to find the body of a man was found in a boat, we cannot name the man because the authorities have yet to contact the family, the man was believed to be attacked by the same animal as the rest of the recent killings, officers say that the body was mutilated in the neck and chest area, the medic remarked that the body was emptied of the blood, causing the investigators some trouble finding a suspect of what or who could have done this. We will get more details within the hour so stay tuned." The newscaster said. I frowned looking at the map of where the body was found, and looked at the map spread out before me.

I marked the building and saw it was in between Seattle and Forks. I would guess that it was either James or Laurent. I felt arms wrap around my waist, and a chin drop onto my shoulder. "whatcha got there Bell?" Rose asked, her nose trailing along my neck. "just trying to pinpoint James before Adam can start looking for him. He seems to be somewhere between here and forks, judging by the bodies that have turned up in the past week since he's been here." I showed her all the bodies found within the last week, Victoria said that they had come into the area about a week and a half ago.

Rose nodded thinking. "I'm sure that Adam will be able to find them. Don't worry so much." She said her fingers buried into my hair as she scratched my scalp. I sighed relaxing some. "But that's another thing, eventually the officials will put somethings together, and they might find that vampires do really exist and there are about to be 12 vampires in one area, that is a lot of missing people to deal with." I explain, "plus what if nomads show up and start killing people right and left, what will we do then?" I asked her turning in my seat to rest my forehead on her shoulder as I let her calming scent fill my lungs as her fingers continue scratching my scalp.

She hummed, "what if we use blood bags?" she asked softly. I sigh, "I thought of that but how are we going to get that many bags without causing suspicion?" I asked.

"well I could always ask Jenks to come up with a viable reason or we could just bribe some of the workers at the blood banks." Came Jay's voice as he made his way down stairs, Emmet by his side. I thought about it for a second "either of those could work but what about nomads or visiting covens?" I asked them. Emmet smiled, "well we have a bar, do you think you could plant an illusion over a few bottles or a tap or something rose? Then we could just offer shots or a beer to a vampire and it will actually be blood. Bing bang boom and we get to open a bar!" Emmet shouted his excitement clearly visible. I sat in shock, "you know that might actually work, Emmet you should use your brain more often!" I cheered. He gave me a crafty smirk, "ah but my dear Bella, if I did that I would make you all look like idiots." He said seriously with a fake grave tone. I snorted, "don't get a head of yourself Em, you are the one who tried to pull off disguising yourself as a woman to try and woo Kate." I reminded him, it was true too, he had dressed up in a skimpy little dress with a wig and make up, completing the outfit with a pair of enormous stilettos, I think Kate even got a picture of the ensemble.

Emmet pouted at me but shrugged, "it was a dare and I would have done anything to win." He said, rose spoke up "But you still lost" she smirked as he glared at her.

I turned to her with a smile, "did I tell you what I found next door?" I asked her. She shook her head confused. "come on then." I smiled as I pulled her out the front door and out into the parking lot. I turned to Rose, "Close your eyes" I said with a grin, she rolled her eyes but closed them with a soft smile. I lead her around the corner and opened up the door so that she could see inside. I walked back over to her and turned her so she facing it. "ok open." I whispered in her ear. I watched as her eyes grew wide. In front of us stood a large steel building, like the ones you always saw on infomercials, it was 32 by 50 feet with two garage doors in front.

she gasped and turned to me, "is this?" she asked uncertain. I nodded "yup you always wanted to own a car repair shop and when I saw this I knew it would be perfect for you, we could open the Bar like Em suggested and maybe rent out some rooms to some tourists or whatever and you could work out here on all the cars you could think of, so what do you think?" I asked unsure, she hadn't said anything for a few minutes. She turned to me a huge smile on her face that lit up her eyes, "it's perfect Bella, thank you." She kissed me lightly. I smiled pulling away, "good, I'm glad you like it rose." She nodded resting her forehead against mine, "I love it, I love you Bella." She said. "I love you Rose." I whispered back.

Not much happened the next few days, Jasper made the necessary calls to his lawyer, and forged a reason for the need of blood bags, Emmet had fun renovating the bar, bringing it back up to date. We also decided it would be a restaurant as well since there was enough seating and tourists and regulars frequented the area. That also lead us to rename the bar, now known as the Rogue Swan Pub, something that Rose and Emmet insisted on. When the final day of the guys' change came Emmet and Jasper were working on using a tap for the blood, while Rose and I waited upstairs with Adam, Will and Chris, Victoria had stayed with Bree the entire time and wouldn't let anyone inside for more than a minute, but everyone understood her motives, her mate was vulnerable and in pain.

I heard all four of their hearts beat up and knew it was almost over. "the change is almost over, Rose and I are here for you, don't be afraid to scream as the pain worsens." I told them knowing how much the last minute hurt, they hadn't made a sound the entire time they were out and I was proud of them for pushing through it.

Will was the first to finish, only when his heart stopped did he make a noise, he sat up with a gasp, "shit serge you weren't fucking kidding were you?" he asked rubbing his chest softly. I smirked "Have I ever lied to you?" I ask putting on an innocent mask.

"Yes, yes you have." Came Adams dry response, I turned to him with a pout. "fine have I ever lied to you about something so important?" I asked with puppy dog eyes, filling with fake tears as my lower lip quivered softly.

"Yes, you told us about what you think will happen after you die and I quote, "I plan to take over hell for a while, the devil needs a vacation every once and a while." Chris said with a smirk.

"and how is that a lie? I plan to do just that when the time comes, everyone deserves a break even the devil himself." I respond with a dignified nod while crossing my arms.

Everyone laughed and Rose wrapped her arms around me pulling me close, "I hope you will let me be your queen?" she asks. I nod my head smiling. "hell yeah! no one would mess with the two of us!" I shout happily. Chris snapped his fingers to get our attention, and it did only not in the way he intended. There floating over his pointer finger was a small flame. We all froze as we watched it dance in the breeze.

The door opened pulling us all out of our trances. "Shit, now he can control flames?!" Bree's voice came from the doorway. We turned to her to see Victoria's arms wrapped around her waist and nuzzling her neck while Bree stood there, her hands on her hips with a disapproving look on her face.

"it would appear so, how are you Bree?" I ask standing slowly to look her over looking for anything that could have gone wrong. She waved off my worry, "I'm fine serge, I feel like I'm in the Lego movie but I'm fine." She said. I looked over to Victoria for answers, she shrugged and went back to her nuzzling. "Huh?" I asked.

"oh, Vic said it was probably my power, all these things keep popping up, kind of like for the master builders in the Lego movie when they want to build something, except all the things that I see can be used either as weapons, help in building a weapon, or hidden weapons. For example, I can see the knife you are hiding in your boot still, I also know that there is a baseball bat in the closet over there and I know which way to tear apart the bed frame to make the most weapons." She said looking around the room. I looked at her shocked as Will went over to the closet and there on the floor was a wooden baseball bat. "Can you control it?" I asked her concerned. "Yup, I just spent the last minute figuring out how to make it go away and come back so the objects aren't floating around all the time." She smiled at us. I nodded and turned to Chris, who was playing with the flame weaving it in and out of his fingers like it was a snake. "Are you ok Chris? Can you control it?" I asked, if he wasn't able to control the flames we would have some big problems. "Don't worry B I got under control." He smirked and closed his fist allowing the flame o diminish until it was gone. I nodded and turned to the others, do you have any powers?" I asked Adam and Will, Adam nodded, "I think so? I have a strange need for my laptop, is that weird?" he asked but I shook my head. "no it probably means you have a power over electronics, why don't you focus on the light in here? try to turn it off and on." I smiled I had a feeling that his power was more powerful than simply turning a light on and off, but it was a good start. He stared at the light for a second before his eyes grew big in awe. Then his eyes traced invisible lines on the wall and ceiling before he once again focused on the light, he snapped his fingers and the light went out then he snapped his fingers once more allowing light to flood the room once more.

"Serge, I think its more than that, I can see the electricity traveling through the wires and through the walls, but I still have a big urge to get onto the internet, like the electricity thing is only a small part." He said still staring at the walls/ I nodded to him "Alright you can try that once you all have fed." As I said that their hands wen t to their throats as they gasped. Their eyes darkening slightly before they got control again their eyes once more turning red and their hands dropping to their sides.

I turned to rose with a grin, her mouth was open slightly in shock. I place my finger under her chin closing her mouth, "you don't want to catch and flies now do you?" I asked as I leaned down to peck her lips softly. It seemed to break her from her mind because she turned to the group behind us. "How is it that all of you are so calm and in control? Usually newborns are wild and ferocious and temperamental, but you all just sit there at the mention of blood.?" She asked. Victoria was the one to speak up.

"its because they were prepared for the change, and they excepted all that comes with it, they were prepared for the thirst and the pain of the burn that is also why they did not scream during the change they accepted everything that came with being a vampire." She explained while she played with Bree's hair.

I nodded to her in thanks. "that is also why most newborns are temperamental and hard to control, they had no idea what being a vampire means and they weren't prepared for the change or the differences afterwards." I told her my theory. She nodded softly. "alright I guess that makes sense. She said.

I nodded and we all headed down stairs to the bar, Jasper and Emmet had finished with the tap as we talked, the Denali's were all drinking pints of blood as they played pool. I smiled as Kate and Irina fought over who got stripes and who got solids. I rolled my eyes with Tanya and shoed the newborns to the bar. Jasper and Emmet were quick to serve all of us a pint of blood, I raised mine smiling "Cheers!" I shouted and everyone raised their glasses "Cheers!" they shouted back as we drank the blood.

Rose looked over the tap with a concentrated look, her brow creasing slightly, before she smiled and leaned back into her seat. "What's up?" I asked taking another sip of the blood, the sweet ambrosia sliding down my throat and cooling the burn there. She smiled, "just put one of my glamor's up around the tap, it will look like beer now." She smirked as Emmet tested it out in another glass.

What came out of the tap now was a golden colored beer that even foamed at the top, Emmet tasted it with awe, "It still tastes like blood and I can smell it under the smell of beer." He said and Rose nodded, "I wanted vampires to be able to smell it so they knew which drink was beer and which was blood, and I tastes like blood because well, blood tastes better than beer." She smiled. Jasper came out of the back with a few vodka bottles filled with blood. "what about these? Can you tie a glamor around them?" he asked placing them on the counter. We could see this time, the viscous red blood turning clear as it watered down to vodka, her face once more scrunched up in concentration before she smiled, "done. Anything you put in these bottles will now look like vodka." She said taking another drink of her pint of blood.

"Good, now is everyone ready to track down James?" I asked with a knowing smile.

hope you all enjoyed it. see you next time!

Thanks
