Chapter 3

TPOV (Tom)

There was that smell again. The smell that had been following me around for the past week. It made me feel like I was missing something. It smelt familiar, and I had a bad feeling about that fact.

There was a swift movement by the old tree in the garden. Although I turned at vampire speed, whatever moved was still too quick.

"Tom, what are you staring at?' Lena was by my side in an instant. She knew something was up; I could tell by the expression on her face. I also knew that Alice had seen something, but what, I wasn't sure.

"Nothing love, nothing. Just daydreaming." I loved Lena dearly; she was the other half of me in every way possible. But I knew that she would guess that I hadn't been entirely honest with her for a while.

"Well come on then, Alice is getting impatient. Though goodness knows why, it's not like we haven't eaten recently." I felt so guilty. She was so easily distracted, but always thinking underneath.

I turned to see Edward staring at me. He looked puzzled, yet angry at the same time. Why did he have to be able to read my thoughts? Why was Bella the only exception?! I growled inwardly, only to receive a dark look from each of my family. I knew I needed to have some privacy.

I heard a slight pop in my ears, and then I was racing towards the woods with four paws. I was thankful that my gift would exclude me from the talents of the family. Edward was still following annoyingly close to me, so I pushed my feline self to its limits. It still wasn't fast enough though. Edward still managed to catch me.

"Tom, please change back. I need to talk to you. It's about the vision that Alice had." He looked at pleadingly. "Lena could be in great danger Tom, and I realise that you would hate to put her in that situation."

I couldn't believe he was playing the blackmail card, but it worked. I changed back, and we were too far away fro the others to hear us.

"Why is Lena in danger? What's going on Edward?" I could feel the tearless sobs building up, and they entered my voice. I was sure Edward could hear it.

"It's the Volturi, Tom. They're here, and they're intrigued by Lena. She does know that you…"

"No, she doesn't. I don't want her to know either. I didn't want her knowing when she was a human, let alone as a vampire."

"Tom, she's going to find out eventually." Edward stopped, realising that the others were coming closer. "I didn't want Bella knowing about them either. But, they're part of your history Tom, Lena has a right to know." He looked around cautiously. "It's Demitri. Aro and Caius sent him here. For what reason I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know? I thought you could read their minds?"

"Demitri has company. A new member of the guard." He looked decidedly annoyed; Edwards's eyes had turned almost black. "It seems that this addition can block things from other people. Like reading minds for example."

"Well that's just fabulous. Absolutely fantastic." I couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed by this new 'member'. I hadn't even met them yet.

"Tom? Edward? What are you standing around like two old maids for? There's food to be caught!" Bella and Lena casually strolled up, sniffing the air for the scent of food.

"What the…?" We all turned to face the same direction. A new scent. Not one of food, or even the one had smelt earlier. This new scent had the hint of the local wolf pack. But the dog smell was almost beaten into submission by the smell of humans.

It seemed that a new breed of mythical creatures had joined the crazy legend that was our existence.

So, what do you guys think? Please read and review! It was only a short chapter, so apologies!
