Ok, not a very long chapter guys..if anyone is actually reading this story anyways...but oh well..enjoy

Edward POV

"Hello. My name is Edward, and I am a vampire. Although I am not Moroi, I am very special. My family and I-"I cut off to a chuckle behind me.

"Edward, tell me you really aren't going to say that to a gym full of vampires you don't know," said Jacob, laughing at me.

"Yeah, I guess not. But what am I going to say?" I asked him.

"Well, you could start with your name, of course, and then you could introduce everyone else. Presciliana will probably help you, so…you shouldn't have any problem convincing everyone that you are what you say you are."

"That's a good idea…why didn't I think of that?"

"Because, you're not me." I laughed and punched his arm.

"Very funny. I have to go, gotta go talk to Presciliana." I ran off to find Angel.

We're by the gym doors, Angel said in her mind.

Got it, I said, and ran over to where they were.

"Edward, I need to talk to everyone. They will only believe me, they have been trained not to trust outsiders," said Presciliana.

"Ok, well we need to get in there and make them see we're not here to hurt them," Angel said, and ushered us through the double doors.

My family stood waiting, and one by one we entered the gym. Heads automatically whirled in our direction and soon every eye was on us, the gym so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Presciliana marched right up to the center of everyone and began speaking. "Hello everyone. I am Presciliana Ivashkov. I am well aware that I abandoned this school with my Guardian Kara Ozera, but we had our reasons, and now, I'm back to ask your help. Kara was kidnapped from the high school we were attending by Isaiah Dashkov. He took her to Massachusetts where we followed him. Two of my new friends, Edward and Angel, flew along the border and found hundreds of Strigoi in the forests along the Massachusetts/Rhode Island border. We have reason to believe the Strigoi are planning an attack on the Queen."

"You say "flew". Who are these people?" asked one of the Guardians positioned around the outer ring of students.

"I think they can show you better than I can tell you. Max?" Presciliana turned to us and addressed Max. She proceeded to shed her jacket and spread her wings. Fang did the same and together they took off into the air.

Max used her super speed to fly all about Fang, like some twisted game of tag. When Fang finally tagged her, he went invisible, making it impossible for Max to tag him. Angel flew up to join the fun, as did Nudge and Gazzy. Iggy took Wendy in his arms and they too took off into the air.

I took hold of Bella's hand and walked to the center of the group of people. "Hello," I began. "My name is Edward, and this is Bella. We are vampires, but are different vampires from you. We have super speed and strength, drink only animal blood, and sparkle in the sunlight. We are immortal, also, but we are not evil. The members of the "flock" as you can see have wings and are infused with avian DNA, but they, too, are vampires. Presciliana came to us seeking help. When I flew to the border, I saw with my own eyes the hundreds of Strigoi; I even fought five, but could not manage to merely hurt one. They are incredibly strong, even for us, and we need your help. Presciliana and Gazzy," he touched down next to me at this point, "have been training to use fire magic. When Gazzy was changed into a vampire, he became Moroi by some strange happening. He specializes in fire and together he and Presciliana have worked to better their fire magic."

"I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but we don't use our magic to fight," a small girl close to where I stood.

"We are aware of that, but this is the situation and it's calling for help. If you use your fire magic you can distract the Strigoi long enough for Guardians and us vampires to get rid of them. This could work, it really could," said Gazzy, stepping up and taking charge.

"Guardians and Moroi, we are asking you to please, help us. This is a great challenge, and we need all the help we can get. In early centuries Moroi fought right alongside their Guardians. What has happened to our race? What do we want to be? Cowards? Or fighters? I'm asking you now, when you are old and graying, do you want to look back on your life and be able to say you fought alongside your peers and Guardians? Or do you want to remember yourself as a coward? I'm asking you, do you want to do something about the injustice and get revenge on the Strigoi that have hunted us to near extinction?" Presciliana shouted, her pep talk getting everyone railed up.

Choruses of "We should fight" and "Let's stop the Strigoi together with the Guardians" and slowly and every mind was made up. We were going to fight some monsters. Now, the only question was when.

Review? Please?
