Edward's POV

"Why?" Carlisle asked, alarmed.

The female shrugged. "It's complicated. But I'll tell you this, no one will be left out of this war, especially a coven as big as yours."

"We've heard of you Cullens," the male said. "We thought your talents could help, but apparently not."

"Wait," Carlisle said. "Tell us more."

Join or die.

"There will be two sides," the female said. "Everyone must choose a one to fight for. Those who don't will be destroyed. We had been hoping you could help us, it's really a pity you can't." She shook her head. "Such a talented coven, revolving around one little hybrid. It's truly a shame. You would be so strong without her."

A snarl ripped out from my throat.

"But I suppose it can't be helped right now," she continued. "So have I gotten your attention?"

Carlisle nodded, his face hard. "What do you need?"

She shrugged. "Your support I guess."

"And why would we support you?" I snarled, unable to help myself.

"Because you don't want humans to live in a world of fear where vampires are exposed and overpopulate the world. There would be constant wars with newborn armies, and no one to stop them."

"The Volturi will," Bella said.

"Not if the Volturi are destroyed."

We stared with wide eyes.

"I can tell you don't like the Volturi much," the female said. "So maybe they're a little obsessive over acquiring talented vampires, but seriously, this world would be a mess without them. No human would be safe."

"What side are you on?"

"We're on our own side," she said. "But I think the Volturi will probably wind up with us when they choose."

Carlisle nodded slowly. Can they be trusted? Are they searching for power? He glanced at me and I shrugged, a very subtle movement. Her mind was too well protected. The male however, showed no signs of deception.

"You're asking that we fight on your side then," Carlisle said.

They nodded. "We'll give you time to think this over," the female said. "We'll be around for a little while, so when you decide, just let us know."

"Wait," Carlisle said. "The wolves are not happy with you. If they find your scent nearby, they may attack you."

"Wolf pack, no problem," she said.

"The wolves are our friends," Bella said. "We don't want them to hurt themselves fighting you either."

"Then you'll just have to convince them to stay away from us."

"Could you perhaps, hunt in other areas?" Carlisle asked.

"We'll drink what we come across in this forest."

Carlisle sighed quietly. "Very well."

I realized then that we still hadn't gotten their names. "We never got your names," I said. "Who are you?"

The male wrapped an arm around his partner. "The name's Sam."

The female returned the couple-ish gesture. "And my name is Scarlett. Remember us well." And with that, they were gone.

A/n: Sorry i know this chapter was really short! And also, I know there that the name Sam is already used for a werewolf but i have my reasons for using that name. Again, if anyone likes this story so far, please review!
