Long Live Life
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Twilight characters or anything Twilight related.
Previously, the Cullens and the pack were attacked by a group of vampires, in metal form. All of them were vampires that were destroyed previously and a mysterious figure is out to get them. What could it be? Who's behind it?
Chapter 11 – Warnings
Lucien's POV
"Okay, can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?!" Evan said.
"Evan, language!" Nessie scolded him.
"Don't you think we're trying to figure that out ourselves?!" Lucas said to him.
My family and I are all back inside the main house in the living room after the ambush from the metal vampires, newborns, zombies whatever the hell you would call them… after getting Garret to quit being an ass that us vampires came to help them without Evan's permission coming on their land. Evan's words, not mine. Another one for Nessie to scold him about. But Jacob had to remind Garret that he's the council leader and gave rights as well as the Alpha. I don't know what's with that Garret. Is he really the Walker's son?
Right now we're trying to understand what has happened. Everyone was soon arguing to not snap at one another until I saw waves flying everywhere to calm them down caused by Jasper.
"Alright, let's try to review this one more time," Jasper said standing next to a huge white board with Krystal holding a marker on the other side. "Earlier in the afternoon, the pack was attacked by a group of vampires." He nodded to Krystal and soon she started drawing out the vampires we saw in high speed and was done in a few seconds. "And those vampires are known as Jane, Alec, Delilah, Virgil, Dawn, Max, Jonathan, Miley and James, vampires who we believed to be dead." He said as I took a look at the vampires on the board.
There's Jane and Alec. They once served for the Volturi as guards. They are physically the youngest members when they once worked there. From what I heard, they are dangerous. Jane has the gift to cause pain with her mind, like you're being burned alive. She really enjoys doing it from what everyone tells me. Alec has a gift far worse than Jane. He can cut off your senses; you can move but it would be effortless.
Then there's this Delilah girl. Edward ran into her one time when he once rebelled against Carlisle on the diet. She's insane according to Edward. She has a gift to immobilize you when you make eye contact with her. It's like Alec's gift but in the opposite way; you can hear and see but you can't talk or move or even use your gift. It even goes through shields.
The next three are Virgil, Dawn and Max. The three of them were part of this coven grandpa Jalen ran into back in Detroit. Virgil turns into red smog when he runs fast and uses his smog to block both senses and gifts. Dawn can extend her hair at will and uses them like extra arms. Max, Dawn's mate, is annoying from what grandpa Jalen tells me. He can split himself into three and forms a triangular motion with them when running.
The other two are Jonathan and Miley Ray. Miley was Krystal's tormentor from high school who is such a diva coming from a rich family. She has multiple gifts. One, she can plant false images like spreading gossip. Two, she can erase memories. And three, she can send a sharp jabbing pain. She's dangerous. Then there's Jonathan, a half-human half-vampire hybrid. He had a huge grudge against Lucas for killing his mate which was accidental. His gift is to absorb energy from people, human and vampire.
Last of all is James. He has an obsession for hunting, just for fun. James was intrigued seeing Edward protecting Bella as a human and James wanted to hunt her down for sport. James is a tracker like grandpa Jalen where he only catches his prey after picking up their smell, even by a faint one.
All of them were vampires from everyone's past and from what they're telling me, they're dead but now they're back. The question is, how?
"Hang on a second," Bella said looking at the board. "James's hair isn't that long." She said pointing out how James's hair was passed down his shoulders. Jasper looked at it and sighed.
"Fine. Krystal, give him a haircut." Jasper said and Krystal grabbed an eraser and erased James's head along with the hair and redrew it making his hair shorter.
"Okay James was not that attractive for a vampire." Rosalie said.
"Hey excuse me but I never met this James person when you guys were there, remember?!" Krystal said in annoyance.
"Okay forget about that." Jacob said. "Back to the facts; they all came back when they were supposed to be dead, but they're now made of metal in a material that neither the pack nor you guys can do to rip them apart."
"How is it that they're back when they're supposed to be dead?" Carlisle asked. "We know for sure that they were."
"I would've seen them coming since I knew them minus Delilah." Alice said.
"What could they all be doing here in Minnesota?" Esme asked.
"This wasn't random." Grandma Tiffany said.
"They didn't come here coincidently, together." Lucas said.
"They were all under control by someone, someone who we don't know, but they know about us." Edward said.
"He said that… our gifts will soon be his." Nessie said.
"What could that mean?" Mom said.
"What does this guy want our gifts for?" Sarah said.
"I don't know but it can't be good." Dad said.
"With us being the new Volturi, nothing can ever be good." Grandpa Jalen said.
"Alice, can you see anything?" Carlisle asked her as Alice went into a blank expression.
"No, I don't see anything happening for some reason." She said when she came back. "But these vampires could have something to do with the strange weather we've been having or the disappearances of Benjamin and the others."
"But who could it be though?" Bella asked. "Who would mess with the weather, cause the disappearances and want our gifts?"
"It could be that the person behind all of this is someone we don't know that not even Alice can see, the same thing tha happened with Riley." Edward said.
"But what for? What does this guy, or possibly a girl in a guy voice, want with us?" Emmett asked.
"What does it look like Em? We're the new Volturi and someone could possibly want us out of the picture." Tiffany said.
"But why? That's what we need to know. What does he want us for?" Emmett asked.
"Maybe this person liked how things were before we took over." Krystal suggested.
"Well then that guy needs to accept the changes, suck it up and get his head on straight," Lucas said in disbelief. "Because some of us don't like living in the world with the way Aro runs it."
"What are we gonna do?" Mom asked and we all turned to Carlisle as the leader of our coven and the new Volturi.
"Esme, Edward, Bella and I will go to Volterra and talk to Marcus, the wives and Vladimir to talk about the situation." He said. "Meanwhile, you guys see if you can find the metal vampires and find any clues leading to them. And tell all our friends and allies about this as well. It's a possibility that they're in danger as well. Jacob, you, Evan and Sarah notify the pack here and from Forks what's been happening." We all nodded at his orders.
"One more thing," Carlisle said making it sound like it's important. "Stay close to one another. We don't know who it is or who it could be but this person sounds like he means business if he wants your gifts. I can't stand the idea of losing you guys in the hands of someone that could be dangerous to us all so be careful and be on your guard."
We all nodded again and soon Edward, Bella, Carlisle and Esme left along with Jacob, Sarah and Evan while Jasper, Emmett, Jalen, Lucas and dad went off to start searching for any leads to the metal vampires. Rosalie, Alice, Krystal, Nessie, mom and Grandma Tiffany left to call our friends and warn them of what's happening as I just stayed in the room and stared at the board of the vampires that attacked us.
For some strange reason, I feel something very familiar of this feeling earlier when I heard that voice. I may have never heard him before but I know that tone for some reason but who? Why is it that what has happened today is really bad, for me?
Still confused about Lucien's reaction? Guess you'll find out later on. Please review.
