It was late, and the little 7 year old boy couldn't sleep. Ariana was narrating his mind.
"He keeps hearing the noises and thinks there are monsters," she stated with a smirk on her face. The real monsters didn't make noise, they didn't even wake you up if they didn't feel like it.
But this would be quick. I've seen countless movies and have witnessed the hunting game. Some body would get lost, get separated and then end up in a forest or a dark alley. Before they even knew what was happening, my teeth where in their neck and my eyes practically glowed a bright crimson red. He he.
The boy's tent was mosquito filled.
"He is jealous of his sister sleeping without being bothered by the mosquitos. He's going to take a walk around his camp site. Now we go."
Silently we crept to the forest opening of boy's family's camp site.
He peered into the thick greens, but saw nothing. He walked into the damp and dark of the forest.
Amy grabbed him. Nicole pounced. Ariana supervised, waiting with me. Kaitlin was somewhere, probably in an arcade playing pokemon games.
Crack.
Snap.
The first drip of blood smelled wet and moist. It was a silent death.
The family would wake up and realize he wasn't in the tent next to his sister. They would look, but they wouldn't find, the boy's body would be at the bottom of the ocean, somebody would make sure of that.
I tore a rip down the child's arm and drank from there. Amy was at his neck, Nicole was at his shoulder. I finished my part and Ariana came down on his other arm. She was knocked down by a force that nearly sent her over the cliff she was standing before.
Before us was a brunette. Her eyes was savoring the human before us and her body language told us that she was willing to fight for it. Immediately was got up and readied ourselves for the fight. We wouldn't lose to one measly vampire. Another figure moved and had its massive arms around the brunette.
He was huge, and muscular. Then the others of the coven and the talk lean bronze haired one was before the brunette, looking into her eyes and calming her down. I let out a sharp whistle between the fingers I placed in my mouth to signal Kaitlin. It would be better if we had reinforcement. They all looked at us to see if it was a signal to attack, but looked away when the full second passed and we just stood there.
The oldest looking one, in maturity at least, took the position as a leader.
"Hello," he said in an even, neutral voice.
"Hello," I said back mimicking his tone of voice. "Where were in the area and where a tad bit hungry. We were finishing up as she," I motioned to the brunette being restrained, "came."
"Oh, well why don't you come back with us, and we'll tell you about the area." He finished the statement and it was clear that we had no other choice without looking disrespectful.
"If you don't mind, we are waiting for one last part of our, ah, how would you call? Coven, to arrive." Ariana whistled throught her fingers for effect. We all knew how to whistle loudly without the fingers, but it just looked so much cooler with your fingers. Kaitlin, on all fours, ran into the small clearing just as I finished the sentence.
The opposing vampires stared in shock. Kaitlin just gave them a loopy wolf grin as she had her outfit in her mouth.
Ariana's face was scrutinizing. It was funny. The tall dark haired one before the rebelling brunette that needed to be restrained had the same scrutinizing expression as he examined us over his shoulder.
I'm not dumb. Neither is anybody else, but we were being watched and we couldn't say anything without any of the others noticing us. That guy could read minds.
I quickly spread my invisibility shield that would disguise our mental selves from the guy. I made a small loop hole so that Ariana could keep in touch with our minds and be alerted if anything went wrong.
The guy's face fell. It crumbled and it distracted the brunette for a moment. He obviously couldn't see into our minds anymore. They began walking and he put his arm around the brunette as we followed them.
They had a giant house that was barely 5 minutes away when we ran. We all stood in the living room.
"Soo, how bout them Yankees?" Nicole said breaking the silence that filled every molecule surrounding us. Why did I feel that we were nothing compared to them? We probably had more abilities than them. And even if we didn't, ours were more useful and more potent towards the opponent. We were all extremely gifted.
I could make anything disappear off of planet Earth, or even the universe. Ariana could read into your mind and pull up anything from it. Amy could shape shift into practically anything. Hiba could make you do things by putting ideas into your head telepathically. Nicole had telekinesis. We were a power house that could probably take over the world if we felt like it.
"Them Yankees won last night." The big burly one said with enough emphasis to show that he liked sports. I straightened my back so I would appear taller. Kaitlin was opening the front door as a human, radiating her heat into the room.
"I am Carlisle, this is my family. We keep a permanent residence within the area and appreciate if you could keep your hunting areas a distance away from town."
I nodded my head once. "Of course. We'll go past the state boundaries if you'd like."
"Yes," he mused. "That would be much appreciated," he finished. My phone buzzed from my back pocket. I whipped it out and read the text message.
Allison was a little late. According to her text message, she saw a dog on the way.
"Another member of our coven. She's a little late."
"Another?" The bronze haired one was skeptical, one eye brow raised as I put my phone away.
"We go out separate ways every decade or so and meet up when we need to. This, happens to be our reunion for the first time in 25 years. We're still finding our companions as of today, as the message was sent out yesterday."
"And how many of you are there, exactly?"
"There are eight of us. Seven vampires and a werewolf we picked up along the way," I announce playfully with a glance towards Kailtin. "We are waiting for one more, and we think she might have picked up a pet on the way,"
"We have some room, why don't you stay with us? We don't mind, do we?" His coven shook their heads, a few even cracked shy smiles.
"Excuse my asking, but I'm naïve when it comes to it and I must know. Why is it that your eyes are such a golden tone?" Emilia asked.
"Miss?" he asked her name.
"Emilia, sir."
"Miss Emilia, you must understand, we are not your typical vampires. We do not feed on the blood of humans, instead we suffice ourselves with animal blood and stay in certain areas for longer than a nomad normally would."
Everything was quiet for a moment. Somebody blinked, it was the big bulky one.
"So, as long as we're on a room mate kind of relation ship, can we introduce ourselves?" Kaitlin said in her perpetual peppy tone.
Each of the opposing coven members said their names, there was Bella, the youngest one, the one who had came after our meal. Edward was her husband and the one that was calming her down. The big muscly one is Emmett and his wife is a breath takingly beautiful blond named Rosalie. Another blonde, only male was named Jasper and his wife, a petite pixie like girl named Alice. The leader was named Carlisle and his wife Esme. They called themselves the Cullen family.
We introduced ourselves and almost immediately Kaitlin fell asleep on the floor. Ariana lifted her onto a couch in their living room with a TV playing some football game. Allison came bursting through the door not too soon after.
"Heyy!" She said said hello to everybody and introduced herself to the Cullens.
She came up to Amy, Ariana and I.
"Hey I picked up somebody." She said to us.
"Somebody?" I asked eagerly. New members were welcomed, it made for a more solid appearance, fuller and more threatening.
"Outside. I have to warn you, I found a werewolf. You know? My thing about animals? You gotta love them."
"Yay!" Kaitlin had woken up from her nap.
