A/N: Sorry for the long wait I am hoping to get back on track, My real book has been taking up a lot more of my time then I thought, so to my dear readers who were waiting, I sincerely apologize.

Rick A.k.a Wild.

After a quick stop at the meat district where Kable had found a Meat where house, we headed to the subway. It was very late and there were few people out as it was, and downstairs on the subway platform there was one or two homeless people, but it was otherwise vacant.

"So how did you know of the where house?" I asked suspiciously

He grinned back at me smugly "Your not the only one who can change, though I don't do it religiously, so to speak."

I looked back at him in surprised "well aren't you the sophisticated one now." I laughed "So which train are we taking?" I asked looking from him to the tracks.

"Us big city guys don't work the same as you small towners." He jumped on to the tracks and I followed

"Try to keep up alright." Kable said as he took off down the tunnel I followed quickly after a moment I passed him and started to laugh.

"O'ie Speedy! You missed the turn moron." He called, I turned to see him already standing about twenty feet back. I turned and ran back feeling pretty stupid.

He bent down and brushed away some litter showing a large steel manhole like cover. He lifted it and holding it with one hand waved me in "After you." I walked over to the opening and leapt in.

As I fell I noticed that the handles on the wall were ripped out of their concrete. After a moment of free falling I heard from above me "Watch your landing!"

Glancing down as he said this I saw the floor rising up quickly. With little conscious thought, the moment my feet feet the surface I bent my legs absorbing the fall and then standing back up. I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I stayed calm as I looked around, the area I landed was dark slightly wet tunnel with no natural light. I still felt myself being watched but could not see my observer. I suddenly realized something and took a sidestep. With a slightly louder thud then when I had landed, Kable landed cracking the floor as he did.

"Nice landing....." I commented looking at the floor.

"Shut up, real men know how to make an entrance." replied Kable

"And you are no real man, Kable." said a voice from somewhere nearby. I tensed up, this must have been who was watching me.

"Maria, you know its not very lady-like to spy on people." Kable laughed as he put a hand on my shoulder, "Relax, She is kind of like the security guard."

He led us down the tunnel making small talk to the voice, until we reached two large hard wood doors.

Kable turned to me "Ok, there is one very specific rule here, If you enter you can not ever tell anyone of this place, no matter the reason."

"But you told me of this place." I said looking at him but he merely smiled "Did I?" he said, thinking back I remembered he did not specifically tell me. The realization must have been apparent on my face because Kable laughed.

He opened the door to a large room, Like a concert arena. There were vampires everywhere. I looked around as we walked through the room.

"A, yo got a problem wit me bucko?" said a vampire that looked like he could give Emmett a run for his money. His eyes were red, filled with blood. He was arguing with another vampire and had him by the collar of his shirt.

"Only if you are fond of that hand." Said the other in a low, almost whispered voice. Then a second after i guessed it The larger of the two was screeching grabbing his stump of an arm while his arm was held above by the laughing other.

I took a step towards them only to be stopped by Kable. he shook his head. "Not your problem, not your business. got it?" he said seriously. with one more look to the arguing vampires I turned and follow Kable to the end of the spacious room to a black steel door.

"Come in guys." Said the familiar voice. We entered, as we did I heard more screeching from behind and paused before two long slender hands took my hands and pulled me in. I was suddenly embraced around my waist and felt the full weight as I felt both arms and legs wrap around me. I might have been worried about this but I heard Kable laughing.

"Hi Mirror!" said a different voice from around my waist. "Shifty you should have told me he was so hott!" she complained

"Sorry Nikki, but he is visiting and i did not know he was going to be around." Kable said apologetically

"Well.... I will forgive you for the usual price." Nikki replied. I saw Kable laugh and open his arms, I felt the person let go and run to Kable jumping into his arms laughing.

I was finally able to see the person who had grabbed me, she was very short maybe five foot three inches, her hair was like spun wheat reaching down to the small of her back.

"Nicole... Enough I need to talk to them alright. Why don't you go play with JD?" Said the familiar voice. Nikki nodded, "Latter Nikki, Promise." Kable whispered loudly. She cheered and ran off down a different hall.

"Shifty?" I asked Kable. The other woman answered as she stepped out from behind a small door. "Welcome Kaylab, to the Covenant of blood." she said gesturing me to follow. "This is a safe haven for many of our kind who prefer to be left alone. Some for reasons as simple as not wanting to be hounded by humans, to others being....forcefully asked to join the clan in Italy" The way she said the word "forcefully" was clear. "Though I say covenant, we by no means live truly together. Think of this place as a safe haven, as long as our rules are obeyed." she continued, she turned to me and I noticed her eyes were a mixture of gold and red. She was wearing a Victorian style red dress. Her hair was black as night but also like the night sky it too seemed to sparkle.

"I see." was all I could manage. I did not know of this place before and as it was still here the Volturi must not know either, after all this many vampires in one place would surely give them a moment to pause. "and the girl?" I asked remembering the smaller girl who latched on to me.

"That was Nicole, She is a very free sprite. Along with her gift makes her extremely kind." Before I could ask Kable answered "She has a natural gift of sensing whether or not anyone would be a danger to her or her... friends."

"But.." I thought, was my gift failing lately people seemed to get around it. "No bud, it was not a gift in that sense, it is more of a natural instinct." Said the woman.

"I just realize I did not give my name. My name is Rebecca Angela Smith, and it is a pleasure." she said. Kable nudged me on my shoulder and said "She got a very powerful gift, foresight, she sorta of falls asleep and sees things during that time, that's why Nikki called you Mirror, because Becca here saw a mirror man with me."

I processed this as quickly as I could. "So what was the reason for bringing me here Kable?" I asked him. Before he could answer we heard the voice of the one called Nikki calling for us, "Shifty! Hurry JD wants to say hi before he has to go and work."

"Later, Kaylab promise, just relax for now ok?" He answered before yelling down the hall. "Ok ok I'm coming!" then rushed down the hall.

Rebecca smiled at me, "Shall we?" and led the way. "So your age? I don't doubt you might have seen at least a few new movies of this century?"

I shrugged. "I suppose so, why do you ask?" Slightly curious despite myself.

"Hey Kaylab, you might get a kick out of this." Called Kable from the room a few doors away.

"I'm very sure your like him JD, he is a hottie!" came Nikki's voice.

"What's this then? I'm no fairy love." came a male's voice with the slightest undertone of a Brittish accent. Though I was unsure, but it did sound familiar.

He came out from behind the door being dragged towards us by Nikki.

I froze. As fast as I normally was I was truly and utterly stunned.

"Ok.... If any teenage girl of this time knows your a vampire...... it will end all humanity." I said staring at him in disbelief.

Nikki laughed in high sprites.

"Jonny Christphore Dep the second, Kaylab.... umm oh yeah, Kaylab Andrews." (purposely changed the name)

"Good to know you" he said giving me a look of appraisal. I nodded to him "Good to meet you too. Mind if I ask how you aren't caught being what you are?"

He laughed and said "A great makeup artist and some great acting." I laughed

"Kaylab I believe you will need to answer your phone." Rebecca said suddenly and walked towards me grabbing my arm and leading my towards a room full monitors and various objects of technology. She then pointed to a small stand. "connect it there." she said and I followed her instructions.

A moment after I finished attaching it, the phone rang. I picked it up on the second ring carefully keeping the connection on the wires.

"Hello?" I said. Alice answered quickly "Kaylab? It's Alice, We have a big problem those troublesome people you mentioned arrived and now we are in it deep."

"What!" I yelled. "What happened!"

"We don't have time. We have to get Bella out of here, one of them are after her." I overheard someone else tell her that they are moving first.

"I'm heading there now." I said, it was not a question.

"No!" Alice said "We are scattering right now, I can't explain in case they could be close." "I'll try to call and give you the details later, trust us ok." the line went dead.

I turned and began to move towards the entrance, the only exit I knew of, when I felt two pairs of arms grab hold of me and another body wrapped around me.

"Let. Go." I said focusing hard on not doing something stupid. My mind was already planning my route, I would need to dip heavly into my private funds to get a fast and straight flight to get me to forks. It was after all my fault that this happened. If I had killed those three then this would not have happened. I sensed they were dangerous and yet I let them head straight for people I had finally come to care for.

"Relax Kaylab" Kable said. Rebecca quickly added "Leaving now will not help, It is day light now, and moving around while so angry will not help."

"It looks like your in a tight spot..... Where is it you are heading?" Jonny Dep asked.

I tried to calm down, they were right, there was not much I could do at this moment, know this and accepting it were two very different matters though. I answered his question "Forks, It's in Washington state."

He smiled at me and clasped me on my shoulders. "Well bloody hell, you got no trouble mate." he laughed, I turned to him expecting more of an explanation.

"I got a private plane, I can have them fly a detour, I was heading to L A, for A movie premier."

"Why would you help me though, you don't know me." I was surprised by this, and the fact I was even considering trusting yet another stranger. My small list of people I trusted seemed to have grown exponentially since my move to Forks.

"Well, if little Nikki likes you, you must be alright." he laughed and Nikki smiled at him throwing her slender arms around his neck planting a deep kiss on him. "Awww JD your the sweetest, you are my favorite." she whispered to him

"What about me Nikki?" Kable said smirking a bit. "You are a trouble maker, but you know I love you." she told him

Jonny Dep looked at me and said "Well then it's settled at night fall we set off savvy?" he finished swaying his body a bit and laughing with a new accent.

"By the way lass? Where's the rum?" Kable and Nikki laughed. I did not really get the joke but I knew I would at least be able to return to fork quickly, and that was enough for now.

"Thanks." I said before walking away thinking hard about my next move.
