Irene's POV

(Three weeks since the last chapter)

Alec, Jay and I had developed and extremely strong bond these past three week. I had also met Mariah, her beauty astounded me and we were really close to, Shakir spent all his time with the lovely Lizzy and her kids. Carlos and I had never been real close but lately he and I found comfort in Shakir leaving us alone.

That second Mariah came flowing into the room, her light brown, floor length hair was back in a long braid. Her violet eyes were shimmering; the contacts were covering her ruby red eyes. She grinned at me and said in her voice that was like the slow gurgle of water in a stream. "Irene, you want to go shopping?"

I rolled my eyes and she grinned at me, tomorrow the Cullens were coming in and if we were not dressed to the hilt then Alice would take us out for one of her torture runs, as we liked to call it. She was the fashionista of the vampire world. We had met the Cullens about a week ago, when they came to see Rosalie and Emmett. They were thrilled to meet Steffa's three new children, Katarzyna, Osborn and Winter but as we liked to call them, Kat, Os and Winnie.

"Sure, Mariah I would love to go." I said and sighed, I had about three thousand different dresses hanging in my closet, but all of them Alice had saw when she ransacked our rooms. I ran to the bathroom and quickly put my hazel contacts in my eyes, I loved the weird orange colored eyes that I normally had when I wore hazel contacts. Mariah and I were literally inseparable.

As we leaped out of our windows, one of my favorite things to do, I smelled human blood, figures that Demetri would choose to feed at this time. Demetri was an idiot, he really was. I sighed and tried hard to block the scent out, running until we found a taxi. The taxi driver was a handsome 29 year old man and he seemed like he would be the type of supermodel instead of a taxi driver.

"Where too?" He asked, sweetly.

"The best shopping mall around." I said, grinning.

"Alright, buckle up we will be there in ten minutes." Ten minutes ticked by and me and Mariah were sitting together talking about random things when I got a text from Winnie, and yes she could text.

We have a few visitors, I think they are Mahala, Asa and their coven, please hurry up and get back! We need you guys here!

We'll be there in a little bit, you guys will be fine, and you have Shakir, Yasmin, Jay and Alec. Not to mention your sister and brother.

You mean Kat and Os? They won't be any help? I mean mirages; Kat doesn't even have a good power! Os? Well his stupid power will be useless in this scenario! He just has that stupid ability to train others to use their powers to the best of their ability.

Is someone jealous that we haven't found their power yet?

No! And guess what it isn't Mahala and Asa it is some weirdos from Scandinavia. Their names are Bohdan, Evonnia, Nicholai, Marta and Nikita.

Do they have powers?

That's the weird part none of us know, before they showed up Eleazar passed out.

Maybe one of them did it any way I gtg, ttyl, bye.

I sighed and then Mariah said, ready? I nodded once and got out of the car, walking over to the taxi driver, handing him a 10 dollar bill, a dollar for every minute. I turned around when he whispered in my ear "dang you're so hot, baby I should would like to get up in that arse." That was a little too much for me and Mariah. We were both so grossed out; he was over 10 years older than me!

The first place we walked into was a store I didn't even bother to try to find out the name. It was huge and everything was dresses. I immediately saw the perfect dress for Mariah; it was a floor length, indigo dress with beads all over the neck. It looked like it was built for her; it looked like it was designed for her. She had already seen it and had run over to it. She whipped it off of the rack and ran to the fitting rooms. I sighed; she always found her perfect dress so easily.

I drifted over to a group of silk dresses and came across one that I knew would fit me and it was gorgeous. It was a sleeveless silk white dress with a beaded bodice and fell to the floor, cascading in a flowing fashion. I hurried to the fitting room just in time to see Mariah in the indigo dress that was when I realized it was a tank top turtle neck. It fit her neck snugly and hugged her body, it was sweater-like and it was absolutely perfect on her.

I slipped into a room and slipped my clothing off I stepped out of the room and I heard a gasp from where Mariah stood.

"Woah, Irene! That dress it is beautiful on you!" She screeched and when I looked at myself in the mirror I saw that the dress was fitted perfectly around the waist and bust then it was all flowing over my hips in a white waterfall. My skin looked pale but it just made me all the more beautiful. I slowly turned around and gasped as the dress swirled around with me, it made me look beautiful.

I giggled, and then Mariah looked at me and smiled. She seemed overjoyed. I had always had problems with finding a dress for myself, since my taste in everything didn't quite fit. I had developed a love of my burgundy eyes and so I gently slid my contacts out of my eyes, ignoring Mariah looking at me, frightened. I then saw the beautiful dress, the brightness of my eyes glowed and the dress looked even better.

"What is it Mariah?" I asked, worriedly.

"It's just it made you look like a goddess. A real actual goddess, you look beautiful, absolutely beautiful." She said, uneasily.

"Are you okay, sis?" I asked and then she smiled at me.

"Of course I am sis! You look great." She said, but I could see the jealousy in her eyes. I quickly changed back into my red tank top and flare jeans, my tennis shoes as well.

I walked out and walked to the counter. The girl at the desk looked like a scene chic, her hair was dyed blue and she had a nose ring and dark eye shadow, mascara and tons of eyeliner. Her eyes were almost black chocolate. She grinned at me and said in a dull voice "$336" she did clearly not want to talk. I read her nametag it said, Marianna. I grinned at her when suddenly my mind went blank and her voice echoed in my mind. Something about how she talked told me that she was a powerful human, one that I shouldn't fight with.

I handed her the money out of my pocket, I had about $500 dollars with me. I gave her the full amount and said "Marianna, keep the extra 164 dollars. Have a good day, maybe find some other job." I said, turning around when she said "Wait!"

I came to a halt and turned around. "Why did you give me this?" She asked.

"Marianna, I can tell you have had a hard time, I did too but trust me real beauty is on the inside and it doesn't matter what you do you will be beautiful."

"Thank you, you are very kind." She said and I told her "You are too." With that I walked out.

(10 minutes later)

I walked into the mansion and saw the vampires that Winnie had told me about, two had fiery red hair, one a boy with short hair another a girl with shoulder length waves. He held hands with a gorgeous girl with short brown hair and blonde highlights, then there were two others an older man with darker hair and a woman with bleach blonde hair they all had bright red eyes and seemed beautiful.

That was when I realized Steffa had clearly ordered them to wear name tags, they each had different names, and the red heads were Nikita and Nicholai. The girl with Nicholai was Marta, the other man was Bohdan and the woman was Evonnia. They were laughing and were clearly in great moods. I walked over and asked them if any of them had powers. They exchanged looks and then I felt my memory of the question start disappearing. I look at Trapper and he clearly gets the message because I felt a shield go up in my mind.

"Which one of you did that?" I asked in an angry voice. They exchanged some more looks and finally I saw Nikita raise her hand, hesitantly. I grinned and said "Don't worry about it. Who made Eleazar pass out?" I ask carefully. A few looks were exchanged and Nicholai raised his hand, twins with magnificent power? Is it possibly another Jane and Alec?

"No they are not another Jane and Alec!" Bohdan hissed. I felt shocked by his sudden understanding.

"Can you read minds?" I asked incredulously. He nodded; embarrassed that he had basically revealed his power.

"Anyone else have powers?" I asked, suspiciously. They all shook their heads. This was a powerful coven. That was why they didn't want themselves known!

"It's okay, guys. You guys won't be exploited." I said, gently.

"Thank you, who are you?" Evonnia said, gently.

"I am Irene." I answered simply.

"I am Evonnia, nice to meet you Irene." She said politely.

"Nice to meet you too, you guys might want to go before the vegetarians get here."

"We were just getting ready to leave." Nikita said, angry. She was angry that I had blocked her gift!

"Alright, well have a safe trip and please come back and see us!" I said. They took off seconds later, ripping the name tags off. I sighed and walked back to my room, falling on the bed, accidentally into someone's lap.

I gasp and rise up, looking into Jay's stupid face. I slap him playfully and he laughs and we start wrestling. A few hours later a voice interrupts "Kids, if you are done playing around maybe you should get ready to see the Cullens." Alec's voice flows from the doorway. I sigh and nod, Jay looks at me and kisses my forehead, drifting out of the room.

I slip into my dress, putting a pair of extreme white flats on and then brushing my shoulder-length blonde hair. I then felt someone's presence in the room. I looked up immediately and saw a faint look of someone when someone landed in front of me, a vampire but this vampire was strong, extremely strong. He kissed me gently, pushing me backwards into a wall.

I recognized that scent, it was one of the guard members, it was Trapper. His tongue traced over my lips and I felt him force his tongue into my mouth, I had never been kissed like this, the only kiss I had was with Jay about a week ago and that had been a meaningful one in my book but this kiss, this kiss was beyond words.

This kiss though I could tell was leading to more. He gently tried to peal my dress off but I shoved him off, unwillingly. It was Trapper!

"Trapper, later when nobody else is here." I shivered at the thought but for some weird reason it was right to be next to him like that. I turned around and hurried out of the room, venom flowing down my face. I gripped Trapper's hand as it slid into mine, we reached the room. We glided in and suddenly I felt all eyes on me, all of them shocked.

The one person that I searched for was Jay and he looked at me and ran out of the room, venom staining the ground behind him. I looked at Steffa then Trapper and took off after Jay, leaping over anything that got in my way; I finally caught up to him, grabbing his arm. He was crying when I looked at him and said "Jay? Jay! Talk to me! Jay!" I just kept screaming.

"Stop you're gonna hurt yourself." He said, sarcastically.

"Jay, I am sorry."

"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispered.

"Jay, Trapper and I just basically figured this out, Jay I still love you but you never wanted to be with me publicly."

"Yea, I know I didn't want to get mocked and yet you continue to break my heart."

"Jay, I still love you and if you weren't so shy maybe it could work but…." I let myself trail off.

Then I felt him grow sad and my vision went blank…..

(Jay's POV)

My heart hurt as I glared at the girl I loved as her eyes turned white and her lips grew blue, it was weird to look at her as she basically died.

My hand gently touched her face, only one thought flowing through my mind. If you had only loved me like I love you.

I felt my arms start shaking as I realized that she was dying and I knew I couldn't stay in this town any more or risk getting killed by Trapper for what I did to Irene. I got up, sadness making my heart heavy.

This beauty was one that would never exist again….and it was my fault. I then felt the venom flow from my eyes and I walked away, crying for the first time. I felt worse than I did when my parents would beat me. This was a worse pain then anything I had ever felt…..
