One week later.

Ch. 2 (once again BPOV)

Carlisle told Alice not to expect anything, but she decorated the house, anyway. "There might still be a wedding," she said stubornly. "I am not going to be unprepared!" Carlisle just walked away, he knew how she could get with these things.

The house was more decorated than with my wedding, if that was possible. I had no doubt that it would be more extravagant than mine, since Renesmee didn't seem to mind it as much as I had. But, after Alice was done destroying the house, there was nothing left to do but wait. Thankfully, we didn't have long to wait before a knock at the door reached our ears. It was the Amazons.

"It's good to see you, Zafrina," I said.

She nodded, and Renesmee emmediatly appeared by her side. She began talking non-stop to Zafrina in an excited voice.

Smiling, Zafrina said, "You sure have grown! When I saw you last, you couldn't speak!"

"Six years ago, I was only a few monthes old," Renesmee joked. More familiar faces began arriving. Among them were Ben, Maggie, and Kate.

I went up to Kate and thanked her for helping me with my ability. I was grateful, even if her technique was a little much for me.

Eventually, everyone had arrived. The very last ones were Stefan and Vladimir, both looking ecstatic. I had a feeling it wasn't just the wedding they were excited about.

Finally, when everyone had settled down, Alice cried, "They're here!" Sure enough, a knock was heard seconds later.

Carlisle opened the door, and in they walked. First was a smart-looking man with short, black hair. His arm was around a tall, thin woman who was very pretty, even for a vampire. I noticed their skin did not have the dusty appearance that many older vampires had. Behind the two came a big, muscular guy standing beside a small girl that reminded me of Alice. This girl, however, had shoulder-length, blonde hair. The last to come in was a woman with a haunted expression and a boy who looked even younger than Edward. (A/N the pics of them are on my profile.)

The first man introduced them. "Hello. We have heard so much about you. I am Celeste and this is my mate, Zuri." The tall woman nodded to Carlisle politely. Celeste continued, "behind me are Soren and Lyra. Then lastly we have Eloise and her adopted son, Theron. You are Carlisle, no?"

I noticed he had a heavy French accent. That was probably where the coven was from. I leaned toward Edward and asked, "Why does Eloise look so...."

"Miserable?" he finished. He gave Eloise a sympathetic look. She looked away, and Edward continued. "Her mate died long ago in battle. She is constantly reminded. If not for Theron, she wouldn't be here."

I looked at him quizzically, "Why?"

"You remember how I reacted when I thought you had died. It was the same for her. Even now Theron helps her. Eloise can be tempermental, and his ability calms her."

"How so?"

"He is a little like you. He puts sheilds around attackers themselves so they can not use their abilities."

"So, what can Eloise do?"

"She can cause people to go insane. The exact way they do depends on the person. Are you wondering what Celeste can do?"

The question distracted me from my sad thoughts concerning Eloise. "He has an ability?"

"Yeah, he can move things with his mind. For a vampire, that is pretty impressive."

"No wonder he's the leader."

Suddenly, Celeste's voice caught my attention. In a firm voice he said, "Now, we must discuss the curious pair: Jacob and Renesmee."

I'll continue the story after I get more reviews. Please review, this is my first story and I want to know how I'm doing!!!
